AIM To investigate the effect of 27nt-miRNA (27nt-miR) on apoptosis of human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) induced by oxidized low-density lipoprotein (Ox-LDL) and its underlying mechanism. METHODS HUVECs were cultured in vitro and grouped as below: normal control group, Ox-LDL group, 27nt-miR+Ox-LDL group, anti-27nt-miR+Ox-LDL group and negative control+Ox-LDL group. The cells in Ox-LDL group were treated with Ox-LDL at 40 mg/L for 48 h, while those in normal control group were untreated but cultured normally. The cells in 27nt-miR+Ox-LDL group, anti-27nt-miR+Ox-LDL group and negative control+Ox-LDL group were transfected with their corresponding lentiviral vectors under the same procedure, followed by treatment with Ox-LDL at 40 mg/L for 48 h to induce apoptosis. The cell viability was measured by CCK-8 assay. The migration capacity was detected by scratch assay. The caspase-3 activity was measured by caspase-3 activity assay kit. The apoptotic rate was analyzed by Hoechst 33258 and flow cytometry. The mRNA and protein expression levels of Bcl-2, Bax and caspase-3 were determined by RT-qPCR and Western blot. RESUITS: Compared with negative control+Ox-LDL group, the cell viability and migration ability were significantly decreased by over-expression of 27nt-miR in the HUVECs (P <0.05), while the activity of caspase-3 and apoptosis induced by Ox-LDL were significantly increased (P <0.05). Furthermore, the mRNA and protein expression levels of Bax and caspase-3 were significantly up-regulated (P <0.05), and the mRNA and protein expression level of Bcl-2 was down-regulated in 27nt-miR+Ox-LDL group (P <0.05). Meanwhile, all the above indexes showed an opposite tendency in anti-27nt-miR+Ox-LDL group. CONCLUSION 27nt-miR promotes Ox-LDL-induced apoptosis and inhibits the viability and migration of HUVECs in vitro , possibly through regulating the expression of apoptotic/anti-apoptotic proteins such as Bax,caspase-3 and Bcl-2. 相似文献

AIM To investigate the mechanism of long noncoding RNA (lncRNA) FEZF1-AS1 regulating microRNA-363-3p (miR-363-3p) on the viability and apoptosis of lipopolysaocharide (LPS)-induced vascular endothelial cells. METHODS Human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) were cultured in vitro . pcDNA-NC, pcDNA-FEZF1-AS1, anti-miR-NC, anti-miR-363-3p, miR-NC and miR-363-3p mimics were transfected into the HUVECs and LPS stimulation was applied for 24 h. RT-qPCR was used to detect the expression of FEZF1-AS1 and miR-363-3p. The cell viability was measured by MTT assay. The apoptotic rate was analyzed by flow cytometry. The dual-luciferase reporter experiment was used to verify the targeted regulation of FEZF1-AS1 and miR-363-3p.

AIM To explore the effect of andrographolide (AND) on the growth and apoptosis of acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) cells. METHODS CCK-8 assay was used to assess the viability of human acute lymphoblastic leukemia CEM-C1 cells treated with AND for 12 h, 24 h and 48 h. The cell morphological changes were observed by Wright-Giemsa staining. The cell apoptosis was detected by flow cytometry with annexin V-FITC/propidium iodide (PI) staining, and the cell cycle was examined by flow cytometry with PI staining. The expression levels of apoptosis-related proteins were examined by Western blot. The mitochondrial membrane potential (MMP) of the cells was determined by JC-1 assay. RESULTS The results of CCK-8 assay indicated that AND inhibited the viability of CEM-C1 cells in a dose- and time-dependent manner. After administration of AND for 24 h, CEM-C1 cells shrank, the cytoplasm turned red and the cell numbers were significantly reduced. Incubation of AND for 24 h resulted in G2-phase arrest and apoptosis. Treatment with AND for 24 h increased the protein levels of cleaved caspase-3, cleaved caspase-7 and Bax, and down-regulated Bcl-2 in the CEM-C1 cells (P <0.05). The ratios of cleaved caspase-3/caspase-3, cleaved caspase-7/caspase-7 and Bax/Bcl-2 were elevated with the increase in the concentration of AND. Collapsed MMP in CEM-C1 cells was observed after AND administration for 24 h. Treatment with AND in vivo suppressed the growth of the xenograft tumor and increased the protein level of cleaved caspase-3. CONCLUSION Andrographolide exerts growth-inhibitory and apoptosis-inducing effects on ALL cells both in vitro and in vivo . 相似文献

AIM To investigate the effect of mangiferin on hypoxia/reoxygenation (H/R)-induced injury of human myocardial cells and its mechanism. METHODS Human myocardial AC16 cells were divided into normal group, H/R group and H/R + mangiferin (50, 100 and 200 μmol/L) treatment groups. The mRNA and protein expression levels of Kelch-like epichlorohydrin-associated protein-1 (Keap-1), Bax, Bcl-2, caspase-3, caspase-9 and superoxide dismutase 2 (SOD2) were detected by RT-qPCR and Western blot, respectively. The protein expression of nuclear factor E2-related factor 2 (Nrf-2) in nucleus was determined by Western blot. The expression of microRNA-432-3p (miR-432-3p) was detected by RT-qPCR. The generation of reactive oxygen speciess (ROS) in the cells was measured by DCFH-DA probing. The cell viability was measured by CCK-8 assay. Apoptosis was analyzed by flow cytometry. RESULTS No significant difference in the expression of miR-432-3p and Keap-1 between normal group and H/R group was observed. Compared with normal group, the nuclear translocation of Nrf-2, the ROS level, and the mRNA and protein expression of Bax, caspase-3 and caspase-9 were significantly increased in H/R group (P <0.05). The mRNA and protein expression of SOD2 and Bcl-2, and the cell viability significantly decreased in H/R group compared with normal group, while the apoptosis was increased significantly (P <0.05). Treatment with mangiferin resulted in an increase in the miR-432-3p expression and a decrease in the ROS level, and the expression of Keap-1, Bax, caspase-3 and caspase-9 was also inhibited as compared with H/R group (P <0.05). The Nrf-2 nuclear translocation, and the protein levels of SOD2 and Bcl-2 in mangiferin treatment groups were significantly increased as compared with H/R group (P <0.05). The cell viability was increased significantly, and the apoptosis was decreased significantly in mangiferin treatment groups as compared with H/R group (P <0.05). The effects of mangiferin in middle- and high-dose groups were better than those in low-dose group, and no significant difference between middle- and high-dose groups was found. CONCLUSION Mangiferin inhibits the decrease in myocardial cell viability and the apoptosis induced by H/R injury. The mechanism may be related to the up-regulation of Nrf-2 antioxidant stress effect via enhancing the expression of miR-432-3p. 相似文献

AIM To investigate the effect of stanniocalcin-1 (STC-1) on the proliferation and apoptosis of gastric cancer AGS cells and the role of Bcl-2 in these processes. METHODS The AGS cells were transfected with the plasmids for STC -1 knockdown or over-expression. The cell proliferation was measured by MTT assay and colony formation assay. The migration ability was detected by scratch assay. Apoptosis was analyzed by Hoechst 33342 staining and flow cytometry with annexin V-FITC/PI double staining. The protein expression of Bcl-2, survivin, caspase-3 and cleared caspase-3 was determined by Western blot. The mRNA expression levels of STC-1 and Bcl-2 in 20 cases of clinical gastric cancer tissues and adjacent tissues were detected by RT-qPCR, and the correlation between them was analyzed by Pearson method. RESULTS After over-expression of STC-1, the proliferation and migration abilities of the AGS cells were increased, the expression of Bcl-2 and survivin was increased, while the expression of caspase-3 and cleared caspase-3 was decreased (P <0.05). After knockdown of STC -1 , the proliferation and migration abilities of the AGS cells were decreased, the expression of Bcl-2 and survivin was decreased, while the expression of caspase-3 and cleared caspase-3 was increased (P <0.05). The mRNA expression levels of STC-1 and Bcl-2 in the gastric cancer tissues were higher than those in the adjacent tissues. Pearson correlation analysis showed that there was a positive correlation between STC-1 and Bcl-2 mRNA expression in the cancer tissues (r =0.308, P =0.011). CONCLUSION STC-1 may regulate the biological function of gastric cancer cells by altering the expression level of Bcl-2. 相似文献

The cell viability was measured by MTT assay, apoptosis was analyzed by flow cytometry, miR-375 expression was detected by qPCR, and the protein levels of cyclin D1, P21, Bcl-2, Bax and caspase-3 were determined by Western blot. RESULTS Compared with control group, the viability of RPOC at 24 h, 48 h and 72 h and the protein expression levels of cyclin D1 and Bcl-2 were significantly decreased (P <0.05), the protein levels of P21, Bax and caspase-3, the apoptotic rate and the expression level of miR-375 were remarkably increased in IL-1β group(P <0.05). Compared with IL-1β group, the cell viability at 24 h, 48 h and 72 h and the protein expression of cyclin D1 in the RPOC were greatly increased (P <0.05), while the expression of P21 was significantly decreased in IL-1β+SJS-M group and IL-1β+SJS-H group(P <0.05).The apoptotic rate, Bax, caspase-3 protein and miR-375 expression were obviously decreased (P <0.05), and Bcl-2 protein level was significantly increased in IL-1β+SJS-H group compared with IL-1β group(P <0.05). Compared with IL-1β+anti-miR-NC group, the expression of miR-375, the protein levels of P21, Bax, caspase-3 and the apoptotic rate in the RPOC of IL-1β+anti-miR-375 group were markedly decreased (P <0.05), while the cell viability at 24 h, 48 h and 72 h and the protein levels of cyclin D1 and Bcl-2 were significantly increased (P <0.05). Over-expression of miR-375 reversed the effects of extracts of SJS on the viability and apoptosis of RPOC with IL-1β stimulation. CONCLUSION The extracts of Herba Taxilli promotes the viability and inhibits apoptosis of RPOC treated with IL-1β, which is related to the regulation of miR-375 expression. 相似文献

AIM To investigate the effect of nisin on apoptosis of human osteosarcoma MG63 cells and its related oxidative stress mechanism. METHODS The MG63 cells were cultured in the medium containing different concentrations of nisin with or without antioxidant N -acetyl-L-cysteine (NAC). The cell viability was measured by CCK-8 assay. Apoptosis was analyzed by flow cytometry with annexin-V/PI staining. The production of intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS) was detected by redox-sensitive dye 2',7'-dichlorofluorescein diacetate (DCFH-DA). The 5,5',6,6'-tetrachloro-1,1',3,3'-tetraethyl benzimidazolyl carbocyanine iodide (JC-1) was used to detect the changes of mitochondrial membrane potential (MMP). The protein levels of apoptosis-associated molecules Bax, Bcl-2 and cleaved caspase-3 were determined by Western blot. RESULTS Nisin decreased the viability of MG63 cells and promoted the apoptosis in a dose-dependent manner. It also up-regulated the protein level of cleaved caspase-3, increased the protein expression ratio of Bax/Bcl-2, triggered a large amount of intracellular ROS generation and reduced the MMP (P <0.05). Moreover, antioxidant NAC significantly inhibited nisin-induced apoptosis of MG63 cells, down-regulated the protein level of cleaved caspase-3, decreased Bax/Bcl-2 ratio, reduced intracellular ROS level, and restored the MMP (P <0.05). CONCLUSION Nisin may promote oxidative stress in human osteosarcoma cells, activate mitochondrial apoptosis pathway, and eventually induce apoptosis. 相似文献

AIM To explore the effect of dasatinib on the viability, apoptosis and migration of human renal carcinoma cell lines 786-O and 769-P, as well as the molecular mechanism in vitro . METHODS 786-O cells and 769-P cells were treated with different concentrations (0~2 μmol/L) of dasatinib, and 0 μmol/L dasatinib was used as blank control group. MTT method was used to detect cell viability. Wound healing assay was used to detect the effect of dasatinib on migration. Hoechst 33258 staining was used to observe the effect of dasatinib on apoptosis. Flow cytometry was used to detect the effect of dasatinib on cell cycle. Western blot method was used to detected cell cycle- and apoptosis-related protein levels. RESULTS Dasatinib inhibited viability and migration of 786-O and 769-P cells, and the inhibitory effect of dasatinib increased with the concentration of dasatinib (P <0.05). The IC50 values of dasatinib against 786-O and 769-P cell lines were (0.958 7±0.028 8) μmol/L and (0.784 3±0.066 0) μmol/L, respectively. After treatment with dasatinib for 24 h, the expression of pro-apoptotic proteins cleaved caspase-3 and cleaved caspase-9 increased significantly (P <0.01), while the expression of cyclin D1 decreased (P <0.05). The cycle-related pathway proteins p53 and p21 increased (P <0.05), while the level of p-AKT was decreased (P <0.05). CONCLUSION Dasatinib impaired the viability and migration ability of human renal carcinoma cell lines 786-O and 769-P by up-regulating p53 expression and down-regulating AKT phosphorylation. 相似文献

AIM To investigate the expression of baculoviral inhibitor of apoptosis protein repeat-containing protein 5 (BIRC5) in gastric cancer tissue and its relationship with prognosis of gastric cancer patients, and to explore the effect of BIRC5 knock-down on the viability and apoptosis of gastric cancer cells. METHODS The expression of BIRC5 was detected by immunohistochemistry in 67 cases of gastric cancer tissues and paracancerous tissues for analyzing the relationships with clinicopathological characteristics. The mRNA and protein expression levels of BIRC5 in gastric carcinoma cell lines (AGS, MKN-1 and MGC-803) and normal gastric epithelial cell line GES-1 were detected by RT-qPCR and Western blot. The AGS cells were divided into blank group (no treatment), Ctr-sh group (blank plasmid transfection) and BIRC5-sh group (BIRC5-shRNA plasmid transfection). The interference efficiency of BIRC5-shRNA was evaluated by Western blot. The cell viability was measured by MTT assay, the apoptosis was analyzed by flow cytometry, and the levels of apoptosis-related proteins cleaved caspase-3, Bax and Bcl-2 were determined by Western blot. RESULTS BIRC5 was mainly expressed in cytoplasm, and the positive expression rate of BIRC5 in the gastric cancer tissues was higher than that in the adjacent tissues (P <0.01). The positive rates of BIRC5 in the gastric cancer patients at TNM Ⅲ~Ⅳ stages and with lymph node metastasis were higher than those in the patients at TNM Ⅰ~Ⅱ stages and without lymph node metastasis, respectively (P <0.05). The survival time of the patients with positive BIRC5 expression was shorter than that of the patients with negative BIRC5 expression (P =0.011 2). The cell viability in BIRC5-sh group was lower than that in blank group and Ctr-sh group at time points of 48, 72 and 96 h. The apoptotic rate in BIRC5-sh group was increased compared with blank group and Ctr-sh group. The protein levels of cleaved caspase-3 and Bax in BIRC5-sh group were higher than those in blank group and Ctr-sh group, while the protein expression of Bcl-2 in BIRC5-sh group was lower than that in blank group and Ctr-sh group (P <0.05). CONCLUSION High expression of BIRC5 in gastric cancer indicates poor prognosis. BIRC5 promotes the growth of gastric cancer cells and inhibits apoptosis. 相似文献

HOTAIR was knocked down by siRNA in acute lymphoblastic leukemia cells. CCK-8 assay was used to assess the cell viability, and the effect of si-HOTAIR on the proli-feration of CEM-C1 cells was evaluated by BrdU method. The effect of si-HOTAIR on apoptosis of CEM-C1 cells was examined by Hoechst 33342 staining and Caspase-Glo® 3/7 assay. Western blot was utilized to examine the protein level of GR.RESULTS: The expression level of HOTAIR in acute lymphoblastic leukemia cells was significantly increased as compared with normal human bone marrow stromal cells (P<0.01). The viability and proliferation of acute lymphoblastic cells was inhibited, the apoptosis was induced, and the anti-proliferation effect of dexamethasone on CEM-C1 cells was enhanced after knockdown of HOTAIR expression (P<0.01). The expression of GR was up-regulated at both mRNA and protein levels (P<0.01).CONCLUSION: Long non-coding RNA HOTAIR may modulate the viability, proliferation and apoptosis of acute lymphoblastic leukemia cells via a GR regulatory way. 相似文献

AIM To investigate the expression of histone chaperone anti-silencing function 1B (ASF1B) in prostate cancer cells and its effect on cell viability in vitro . METHODS Human prostate cancer PC-3 cells were used, and knockdown of ASF1B was conducted by small interfering RNA (siRNA) transfection into the cells. The cells were divided into control group, siRNA negative control vector (mock) group and siRNA-ASF1B group. The viability of the PC-3 cells treated with ASF1B-siRNA for 12, 24 and 48 h was measured by MTT assay. Flow cytometry was used to analyze cell apoptosis and cell cycle distribution. The mRNA expression of apoptosis-related molecules was detected by RT-qPCR, and the expression levels of MAPK/JNK/ERK signaling pathway-related proteins were determined by Western blot. RESULTS The protein level of ASF1B in the normal cells (benign prostatic hyperplasia) was significantly lower than that in the PC-3 cells (P <0.01). Compared with control group and mock group, the protein expression level of ASF1B in the PC-3 cells transfected with siRNA-ASF1B plasmid and the viability of the PC-3 cells were significantly decreased (P <0.01). The apoptotic rate of the PC-3 cells transfected with siRNA-ASF1B plasmid was significantly higher than that in control group (P <0.01), and the cell cycle was arrested at G1 phase. The mRNA levels of p53, caspase-3, Bax and PARP-1 in the PC-3 cells transfected with siRNA-ASF1B plasmid were up-regulated compared with those in control group and Mack group (P <0.01). In addition, the protein levels of MAP2K4 and p-JNK in the PC-3 cells in siRNA-ASF1B group were significantly higher than those in mock group (P <0.01), while the protein level of p-ERK was significantly lower than that in mock group (P <0.01). CONCLUSION ASF1B silencing induces G1 arrest and promotes apoptosis of PC-3 cells. Activating MAPK/JNK/ERK signaling pathway may be a possible contributor to the anti-prostate cancer effect of siRNA-ASF1B. 相似文献

AIM To analyze the expression of nesfatin-1 in intestinal tissues of premature infants with necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC), and to explore the effect of nesfatin-1 on lipopolysacharide (LPS)-induced enterocytes and its mechanism. METHODS The intestinal tissues were obtained from infants who underwent intestinal surgery for NEC in our hospital from 2017 to 2019. The mRNA expression of nesfatin-1 in the tissue samples of NEC were evaluated by RT-qPCR. Human fetal normal colon epithelial HCoEpiC cells and human colon cancer Caco-2 cells were used as research objects. The effect of nesfatin-1 on the secretion of cytokines was measured by ELISA. Western blot was used to analyze the protein expression of nesfatin-1 and Toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4), NLRP3, AIM2, caspase-1 and ASC, and co-immunoprecipitation assay were conducted to explore the relation between nesfatin-1 and TLR4. RESULTS The expression of nesfatin-1 in NEC preterm infants was significantly lower than that in the healthy group (P <0.01). Compared with control group, the expression of nesfatin-1 in HCo Epic cells and HT-29 cells induced by LPS was decreased (P <0.01), while the transfection of nesfatin-1 reversed the stimulation of LPS, and the over-expression of nesfatin-1 decreased the levels of tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) and interleukin-6 (IL-6), and increased the level of IL-10 (P <0.05). In addition, nesfatin-1 over-expression inhibited the expression of NLRP3, AIM2, caspase-1 and ASC. The expression of TLR4 in NEC tissue samples was significantly higher than that in healthy infants (P <0.05). Pearson correlation analysis showed that there was a significant negative correlation between nesfatin-1 and TLR4 (r =-0.816, P <0.01). TLR4 was found to co-precipitate with nesfatin-1. CONCLUSION Nesfatin-1 protects intestinal cells from LPS induced inflammation by targeting TLR4, which may be a potential target of anti-NEC therapy. 相似文献

AIM: To investigate the effects of bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells (BM-MSCs) on cobalt chloride (CoCl2)-induced injury and apoptosis of PC12 cells. METHODS:PC12 cells were divided into control group, CoCl2 group, BM-MSCs-siCTL+CoCl2 group and BM-MSCs-siEPO+CoCl2 group. The viability of the PC12 cells was measured by MTT assay. Flow cytometry and Hoechst 33258 staining were used to determine the apoptotic rate and the changes of chromatin distribution in PC12 cells. The expression of erythropoietin (EPO) in BM-MSCs was measured by RT-PCR and Western blotting. The mRNA expression of Bcl-2 and Bax in PC12 cells was detected by RT-PCR. Caspase-9 and caspase-3 assay kits were used to detect the activity of caspase-9 and caspase-3. RESULTS:The viability of PC12 cells treated with CoCl2 for 24 h and 48 h decreased to (43.0±6.4)% and (33.8±5.7)%, respectively, while 1∶15 ratio of BM-MSCs co-culture increased the cell viability to (77.9±3.8)% and (75.2±9.7)%,respectively. The expression of EPO in BM-MSCs was up-regulated after treated with 0.6 mmol/L CoCl2 for 24 h and 48 h, while EPO siRNA significantly abrogated the EPO expression in BM-MSCs. BM-MSCs-siCTL co-culture significantly inhibited the apoptosis of PC12 cells induced by CoCl2. However, EPO siRNA the protective effect of BM-MSCs. Compared with CoCl2 treatment group, BM-MSCs co-culture induced remarkable increase in the expression of Bcl-2 and decrease in the expression of Bax in PC12 cells, which was reversed by EPO siRNA. BM-MSCs-siCTL co-culture remarkably abrogated the CoCl2 induced up-regulation of caspase-9 and -3, while BM-MSCs-siEPO co-culture significantly reversed the down-regulation of caspase-9 and -3 induced by BM-MSCs-siCTL co-culture. CONCLUSION:BM-MSCs protect PC12 cells from apoptosis induced by CoCl2. The protective effect of BM-MSCs might be executed by up-regulating the expression of EPO. 相似文献

AIM To explore the effect of platelet-rich plasma (PRP) on rabbit osteoarthritis and its possible mechanism. METHODS The rabbits with knee osteoarthritis were prepared and then divided into model group, sodium hyaluronate (SH) group and PRP group, and another sham operation group was set up, with 6 rabbits in each group. The gross morphological changes of rabbit cartilage were observed. HE staining was used to evaluate the pathomorphological changes of the cartilage. TUNEL staining was used to detect the apoptosis of chondrocytes. The expression of nucleotide-binding oligomerization domain-like receptor protein 3 (NLRP3)/interleukin-1β (IL-1β) signaling pathway-related molecules was observed by immunohistochemical staining, and the protein levels of caspase-3, Bcl-2 and Bax were determined by Western blot. Chondrocytes were isolated and processed according to grouping, and the NLRP3 and IL-1β levels of the cells were measured by ELISA. RESULTS Compared with sham operation group, Pelletier score, Mankin score, chondrocyte apoptotic rate, the positive protein expression rates of NLRP3, apoptosis-associated speck-like protein containing a caspase recruitment domain (ASC), caspase-1 and IL-1β, and the protein levels of caspase-3 and Bax in model group were increased significantly (P <0.05), while the protein expression of Bcl-2 was decreased significantly (P <0.05). Compared with model group, Pelletier score, Mankin score, the apoptotic rate of chondrocytes, the positive protein expression rates of NLRP3, ASC, caspase-1 and IL-1β, and the protein levels of caspase-3 and Bax in SH group and PRP group were decreased significantly (P <0.05), while the protein expression of Bcl-2 was increased significantly (P <0.05). In PRP group, Pelletier score, Mankin score, the apoptotic rate of chondrocytes, the positive protein expression rates of NLRP3, ASC, caspase-1 and IL-1β, and the protein levels of caspase-3 and Bax were lower than those in SH group, while the protein expression of Bcl-2 was higher than that in SH group (P <0.05). Compared with control group, the expression of NL?RP3 and IL-1β in MCC950 (NLRP3 ihibitor) group were significantly reduced (P <0.05), the expression of NLRP3 in eucalyptol (IL-1β inhibitor) group was not significantly changed (P >0.05), and the expression of IL-1β was significantly reduced (P <0.05). CONCLUSION Platelet-rich plasma promotes the repair of cartilage in osteoarthritis rabbits, which has better effect than SH. The mechanism may be related to the inhibition of NLRP3/IL-1β pathway and the reduction of chondrocyte apoptosis. 相似文献

miR-556-3p regulates viability,migration and invasion of endometrial cancer cells by targeting SASH1
AIM To investigate whether microRNA-556-3p (miR-556-3p) regulates the viability, migration and invasion of endometrial cancer cells by targeting SASH1 gene. METHODS The expression of miR-556-3p, and the mRNA and protein levels of SASH1 in endometrial cancer tissues were detected by RT-qPCR and Western blot. Anti-miR-556-3p or pcDNA-SASH1 was transfected into endometrial cancer Ishikawa cells. The cell viability was detected by MTT assay, the migration and invasion abilities of the cells were detected by Transwell chamber method, and the protein expression levels of cyclin D1, p21, matrix metalloproteinase-2 (MMP-2) and MMP-9 were detected by Western blot. StarBase prediction and dual-luciferase reporter experiments were used to analyze the targeting relationship between miR-556-3p and SASH1. Anti-miR-556-3p and si-SASH1 were co-transfected into the Ishikawa cells, and their effects on cell viability, migration and invasion were examined by the methods described above. RESULTS Compared with adjacent tissues, the expression of miR-556-3p in endometrial cancer tissues was increased significantly, and the expression of SASH1 at mRNA and protein levels was decreased significantly (P <0.05). Inhibition of miR-556-3p expression or induction of SASH1 over-expression obviously reduced the viability of Ishikawa cells, the number of migratory cells, the number of invasive cells and the protein levels of cyclin D1, MMP-2 and MMP-9, and dramatically increased the protein level of p21 (P <0.05). miR-556-3p targeted SASH1 and negatively regulated its expression. Knock-down of SASH1 expression reversed the inhibitory effect of miR-556-3p expression inhibition on the viability, migration and invasion of Ishikawa cells.

AIM To explore the effects of tripterine on the viability and apoptosis of keloid fibroblasts (KFB) and its molecular mechanism. METHODS The KFB were treated with tripterine at low, medium and high doses. The cell viability and apoptosis were measured by CCK-8 assay and flow cytometry, respectively. RT-qPCR and Western blot were applied to determine the expression of GINS complex subunit 2 (GINS2). The KFB were divided into si-NC group, si-GINS2 group, Exp+pcDNA group and Exp+pcDNA-GINS2 group, and the changes of cell viability and apoptosis were measured using the above methods. RESULTS After treatment with tripterine, the viability of KFB was decreased, the apoptotic rate was increased, and GINS2 expression was decreased in a dose-dependent manner (P <0.05). After knockdown of GINS2 , the viability of KFB was decreased, and the apoptotic rate was increased (P <0.05). Over-expression of GINS2 partially reversed the effect of tripterine on the viability and apoptosis of KFB (P <0.05). CONCLUSION Tripterine inhibits KFB viability and promotes the apoptosis by down-regulating GINS2. 相似文献

AIM: To investigate the effect of microRNA-323 (miR-323) on the apoptosis of hypoxia-induced rat H9C2 cardiomyocytes and its mechanism. METHODS: The hypoxic injury model was established in the H9C2 cells. Anti-miR-323, pcDNA-FGF9 and si-FGF9 were transfected into the H9C2 cells and cultured under hypoxic condition for 48 h. The expression of miR-323 was detected by qPCR. The protein levels of fibroblast growth factor 9 (FGF9), cleaved caspase-3, c-Jun N-terminal kinase (JNK) and p-JNK were determined by Western blot. The cell viability was measured by MTT assay, and the apoptosis was analyzed by flow cytometry. The method of bioinformatics was applied to predict the target gene of miR-323, and dual-luciferase reporter assay was used for further validation. RESULTS: Hypoxia greatly reduced the viability of H9C2 cells at 12 h, 24 h and 48 h (P <0.05), and remarkably increased apoptotic rate and the protein level of cleaved caspase-3 in a time-dependent manner (P <0.05). The expression of miR-323 and the protein level of p-JNK were up-regulated and the expression of FGF9 was down-regulated in the H9C2 cells exposed to hypoxia (P <0.05). Down-regulation of miR-323 and over-expression of FGF9 obviously increased the viability of the H9C2 cells exposed to hypoxia, and decreased the apoptotic rate and the protein level of cleaved caspase-3 (P <0.05). FGF9 was the target gene of miR-323. Down-regulation of FGF9 reversed the attenuating effect of down-regulation of miR-323 on hypoxia-induced H9C2 cell injury. miR-323 regulated FGF9 and affected p-JNK level. CONCLUSION: miR-323 affects the viability and apoptosis of H9C2 cardiomyocytes under hypoxia by targeting FGF9 and regulating JNK signaling pathway. 相似文献

AIM To investigate the effects of astragaloside on the levels of sex hormone and oxidative stress in rats with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). METHODS Female SD rats (n =60) were randomly divided into normal control group, model group, Diane-35 (0.339 2 mg/kg) group, low dose astragaloside (12.5 mg/kg) group and high dose astragaloside (50 mg/kg) group, with 12 rats in each group. The PCOS model was induced by letrozole (1 mg/kg), which was administered by gavage once a day for 3 weeks. After administration, the estrus cycle of the rats was observed by vaginal smear, and the ovarian index was calculated. HE staining was used to observe the histopathological changes of the ovaries. Serum levels of the sex hormones testosterone (T), estradiol (E2), luteinizing hormone (LH) and follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) were measured by ELISA. The levels of superoxide dismutase (SOD), malondialdehyde (MDA) and glutathione peroxidase (GSH-Px) in serum and ovarian tissue were detected by colorimetry, and the protein levels of steroidogenetic acute regulatory protein (StAR) and apoptosis-related proteins cleaved caspase-3, Bax and Bcl-2 in ovarian tissue were detected by Western blot. RESULT Compared with control group, the oestrous cycle of the rats in model group was disorder, and the ovarian index was increased, ovary was polycystic. The serum levels of T, LH and MDAwere significantly increased (P <0.05), while the contents of E2, FSH and the activities of GSH-Px and SOD were significantly decreased (P <0.05). The levels of MDA, StAR, cleaved caspase-3 and Bax proteins in ovarian tissue were significantly up-regulated (P <0.05). GSH-Px and SOD activities and Bcl-2 protein levels were significantly down-regulated (P <0.05). CONCLUSION Astragalosideeffectively balances the levels of sex hormone in PCOS rats and relieves the oxidative stress injury, the mechanism may be related to the inhibition of StAR expression. 相似文献

AIM To investigate the effect of NOD-like receptor family caspase recruitment domain containing 3 (NLRC3 ) expression knock-down on the viability and apoptosis of normal human bronchial epithelial BEAS-2B cells and its mechanism. METHODS The small interfering RNA (siRNA) fragments of NLRC3 gene were transfected into BEAS-2B cells using Lipofectamine 2000 transfection reagent to knock down the NLRC3 expression. The interference fragment was screened by RT-qPCR. The cell viability was measured by MTT assay. The mitochondrial membrane potential was detected by JC-1 staining. The apoptotic rate was analyzed by flow cytometry with annexin V-FITC/PI staining. The protein expression levels of Bcl-2 and Bax were determined by Western blot. RESULTS The interference segment 3 of NLRC3 gene (siNLRC3-3) displayed the best interference effect on NLRC3 expression in BEAS-2B cells (P <0.01). Knock-down of NLRC3 expression in BEAS-2B cells enhanced the cell viability (P <0.01). Knock-down of NLRC3 increased the mitochondrial membrane potential, and decreased the apoptotic rate (P <0.05). Moreover, knock-down of NLRC3 significantly up-regulated Bcl-2 protein expression and significantly down-regulated Bax protein expression (P <0.01). CONCLUSION Knock-down of NLRC3 expression enhances the viability and inhibits the apoptosis of BEAS-2B cells, which may be related to increase in the expression of Bcl-2 protein and decrease in the expression of Bax protein. 相似文献
