Expression and function of calcium-sensing receptor in mouse embryonic stem cells

AIM: To observe the functional expression of calcium-sensing receptor (CaSR) in the mouse embryonic stem cells (mESCs). METHODS: The expression and distribution of CaSR were detected by Western blotting and immunofluorescence observation in 129 mouse ES-D3 cells. The intracellular concentration of free calcium (［Ca2+］i) was determined by confocal laser scanning microscopy. The cell viability was analyzed by MTT assay and flow cytometry. RESULTS: CaSR protein was expressed in mESCs. Extracellular calcium or neomycin significantly increased the expression of CaSR and ［Ca2+］i. Neomycin increased the cell viability, up-regulated the protein expression of p-ERK2. These effects of neomycin were inhibited by NPS2390. CONCLUSION: CaSR is expressed in mESCs. The activation of CaSR is involved in the proliferation of mESCs.

Effect of over-expression of transcription factor CDX2 on proliferation and cell cycle of human gastric cancer cell line SGC-7901

AIM: To study the effect and the molecular mechanism of CDX2 over-expression on the proliferation, growth and cell cycle of human gastric cancer cell line SGC-7901. METHODS: The SGC-7901 cells in LV-CDX2-GFP group were transfected with the recombinant lentivirus vector LV-CDX2-GFP, the cells in LV-GFP group were transfected with the negative control lentiviral vector for the negative control, and the cells in blank control group were without any treatment. The cell proliferation was detected by CCK-8 assay. The cell cycle distribution was analyzed by flow cytometry. The expression of CDX2, Bax, Bcl-2, cyclin D1 and survivin was determined by semi-quantitative RT-PCR and Wes-tern blotting. RESULTS: Compared with LV-GFP group and blank control group, the proliferation activity of the SGC-7901 cells was significantly lower (P<0.05), the G0/G1 phase proportion increased (P<0.05), the mRNA and protein levels of Bcl-2, cyclin D1 and survivin were reduced (P<0.05), and the mRNA and protein levels of Bax were up-regulated (P<0.05) in LV-CDX2-GFP group. No statistically significant difference of the above indexes was observed (P>0.05) between LV-GFP group and blank control group. CONCLUSION: Over-expression of CDX2 mediated by lentivirus inhibits the proliferation and growth of human gastric cancer SGC-7901 cells and arrestes the cell cycle at G0/G1 phase, which may be related to down-regulation of Bcl-2, cyclin D1 and survivin and up-regulation of Bax.

High concentration of extracellular ATP causes autophagy and apoptosis of SH-SY5Y cells

AIM：To examine the effects of high concentration of extracellular ATP on human neuroblastoma SH-SY5Y cell injury. METHODS：Cultured SH-SY5Y cells were grouped according to the concentrations of ATP and treatment time. The cell viability was detected by CCK-8 assay. The variation of autophagic vacuoles was observed with monodansylcadaverine staining. The cell apoptosis was analyzed by Hoechst 33258 staining. Meanwhile, apoptotic rate was detected by flow cytometry. The levels of caspase-3 and microtubule-associated protein 1 light chain 3-Ⅱ (LC3-Ⅱ) were determined by Western blotting. RESULTS：Compared with control group, the survival rate of SH-SY5Y cells was significantly reduced by ATP at different concentrations (3, 6, 9, 12 and 15 mmol/L for 3 h) and different treatment time (1, 2, 3 and 6 h with 6 mmol/L ATP, peaking at 3 h). The autophagic vacuoles of SH-SY5Y cells were significantly increased at 1 h with ATP treatment, trended to decrease over time and returned to control level at 6 h. The protein expression of LC3-Ⅱ was significantly increased at 1 h with ATP treatment, which was consistent with the time points of increasing autophagic vacuoles. LC3-Ⅱ expression level gradually decreased at 2~3 h with ATP treatment, and returned to control level at 6 h. Compared with control group, the apoptotic rate and the expression level of caspase-3 were enhanced synchronously. The peak of apoptotic rate occurred at 3 h, and kept until 6 h.The level of cleaved caspase-3 expression peaked at 6 h. CONCLUSION：High concentration of extracellular ATP induces the autophagy and apoptosis of SH-SY5Y cells. The increased autophagy shows up, followed by the climax of apoptosis until 6 h. With the prolonged duration of ATP, apoptosis is the main process in the cells.     

灌溉量对鸡毛菜生长和品质的影响

以鸡毛菜为材料,通过控制穴盘质量,研究不同灌水量(100%ET、90%ET、80%ET和70%ET)对鸡毛菜生长和生理的影响。试验结果表明,补充灌水量100%ET及90%ET处理下鸡毛菜地上部干鲜质量、株高、茎粗均最高;80%ET处理下鸡毛菜叶片叶绿素含量、可溶性蛋白质含量、可溶性糖含量最优,但该处理下鸡毛菜生物量显著低于100%ET和90%ET处理的;70%ET处理除鸡毛菜可溶性蛋白质外,生物量与品质均显著低于其他处理。但100%ET处理耗水量高于90%ET处理的,因此,综合鸡毛菜生物量、品质以及耗水量,在试验设计的范围内90%ET灌水量是最适合鸡毛菜生长的灌水处理。
