Reduced expression of SIRT2 in serous ovarian carcinoma promotes cell proliferation,migration and invasion

AIM: To compare the expression of SIRT2 in ovarian surface epithelial (OSE) cell line and serous ovarian carcinoma (SOC) cell lines, and to investigate the effects of SIRT2 on the cell proliferation, migration and invasion. METHODS: The expression levels of SIRT2 in the OSE cell line and the SOC cell lines were determined by Western blot. The SIRT2 siRNAs and overexpression construct were designed and verified. Transient transfection of SIRT2 siRNAs or overexpression construct was performed, and the effect of SIRT2 on the cell proliferation, migration and invasion was evaluated. RESULTS: SIRT2 levels in the 5 strains of SOC cell lines were significantly lower than that in the OSE cell line. SIRT2 knockdown in HOSEpiC cells significantly enhanced the ability of cell colony formation and accelerated the cell growth rate. On the contrary, overexpression of SIRT2 in HO8910 cells dramatically repressed the number of cell colonies and cell activity. SIRT2 significantly changed the ability of ovarian cell migration. Knockdown of SIRT2 facilitated the cell invasion. CONCLUSION: The expression of SIRT2 in the SOC cells is significantly down-regulated. In the OSE cells, SIRT2 acts as a tumor suppressor and mediates the inhibition of cell proliferation, migration and invasion.     

Effects of inhibiting myosin light chain kinase on endothelin-1 induced proliferation and apoptosis of pulmonary arterial smooth muscle cells in rats

AIM: To investigate the effect of inhibiting myosin light chain kinase(MLCK) on endothelin-1(ET-1) induced proliferation and apoptosis of rat pulmonary artery smooth muscle cells(PASMCs). METHODS: Rat PASMCs were cultured and stimulated with ET-1. The cells were randomly divided into control group, ET-1 group and ET-1+MLCK inhibitor group(ET-1+M). Western blotting, MTT assay, [³H]-TdR incorporation and flow cytometry were employed to test the expression of myosin light chain(MLC) and MLCK, cell proliferation, cell cycle and apoptotic rate of PASMCs,respectively. The phosphorylation of MLC was determined by glycerol-PAGE coupled with Western blotting. RESULTS: Compared with control group, the protein expression of MLCK and MLC phosphorylation significantly enhanced after ET-1 stimulation. ET-1 markedly induced the proliferation and decreased the percentage of apoptotic rate in the PASMCs. However, pretreatment with ML-7, a MLCK inhibitor, significantly reversed the above effects induced by ET-1. CONCLUSION: MLCK inhibitor effectively inhibits the ET-1-induced proliferation and the cell cycle progression.     

Advance in receptor type protein tyrosine phosphatase Q

Receptor type protein tyrosine phosphatase Q (PTPRQ) is an unusual protein tyrosine phosphatase that has intrinsic dephosphorylating activity for various phosphatidylinositiol and phospho-tyrosine substrates, especially the phosphatidylinositol activity. Recent data show that PTPRQ has an important role in various biological processes and is associated with some diseases. In this article, the structure and function of PTPRQ and the relationship between PTPRQ and diseases were briefly summarized.     

Effect of 3 isoforms of Ikaros on proliferation of human ovarian cancer SKOV3 cells

AIM: To investigate the effect of Ikaros isoforms on the proliferation of human ovarian cancer SKOV3 cells. METHODS: Three isoforms of Ikaros, IK1, IK2 and IK6, were transfected into ovarian cancer SKOV3 cells. CCK-8 assay and cell counting were used to detect the effects of Ikaros isoforms on the proliferation of SKOV3 cells. The cell cycle was analyzed by flow cytometry. The cell cycle-related proteins were detected by Western blot. RESULTS: IK1 and IK2 expression inhibited SKOV3 cells proliferation. Flow cytometry analysis indicated that IK1 and IK2 induced SKOV3 cell cycle arrest at the G₁ phase. IK6 isoform exerted no obvious effect on the proliferation or cell cycle of SKOV3 cells. Compared with control EV group, IK1 group and IK2 group showed a dramatic elevation in the expression of the cell cycle inhibitor p21, along with a substantial decrease in the expression of the cell cycle inducers cyclin D1 and cyclin D2, which did not change in IK6 group. CONCLUSION: IK1 and IK2 significantly inhibit the proliferation of ovarian cancer SKOV3 cells and induce cell cycle arrest at G₁ phase by regulation of cell cycle-related proteins cyclin D1, cyclin D2 and p21, while IK6 isoform exerts no obvious effect on the proliferation and cell cycle of SKOV3 cells.

Aqueous extract of Anemarrhena rhizome increases cell proliferation and neuropeptide Y expression in the hippocampal dentate gyrus on streptozotocin-induced diabetic rats

In this study, the effects of the aqueous extract of Anemarrhena rhizome on cell proliferation and neuropeptide Y expression in the dentate gyrus of streptozotocin-induced diabetic rats were investigated via immunohistochemistry for 5-bromo-2'-deoxyuridine (BrdU) and neuropeptide Y. The results showed that the treatment with 50 to 200 mug/kg/day for 7 days of the aqueous extract of Anemarrhena rhizome increased new cell formation and neuropeptide Y expression in the dentate gyrus of diabetic rats reduced by the treatment with streptozotocin in rat.

Probing mode of action in plant cell cycle by the herbicide endothall, a protein phosphatase inhibitor

The mode of action of endothall, an herbicide which was reported to inhibit plant protein phosphatases 1 (PP1) and 2A (PP2A), was investigated. For initial characterization, a series of bioassays was used for comprehensive physiological profiling of endothall effects which suggested a phytotoxic mode of action similar to mitotic disrupter herbicides. Unlike known microtubule disrupters, endothall did not inhibit soybean tubulin polymerization in vitro. As shown in meristematic corn root tips, endothall distorted the orientation of cell division plane and microtubule spindle structures which led to cell cycle arrest in prometaphase. In tobacco BY-2 cells, malformed spindles together with prometaphase arrest of nuclei and abnormal perinuclear microtubule patterns were detected as early as 4 h of endothall treatment. These effects were also observed after treatment with other protein phosphatase inhibitors, cantharidin and okadaic acid, which phenocopied the mitotic changes described in tonneau1 (ton1) and tonneau2 (ton2) Arabidopsis mutants. These mutants are defective in TONNEAU2 (TON2) protein, a regulatory subunit of PP2A, which governs cell division plane and microtubule orientation. Therefore, PP2A/TON2 phosphatase complex is suggested to be an in planta molecular target of endothall. However, in BY-2 cells, additional effects of endothall, including inhibition of S-phase initiation and DNA synthesis, detected by 5-ethynyl-2′-deoxyuridine (EdU) incorporation, and condensed nuclei arrested in late mitosis were observed which were not reported in Arabidopsiston1 and ton2 mutants. This result indicates that two additional checkpoints in cell cycle were blocked by endothall which are probably not associated with TON2-pathway inhibition. Possibly, inhibition of PP1 and/or other PP2A protein phosphatases are involved in the regulation of these cell cycle phenomena.
