AIM:To explore whether receptor-interacting protein 2 (Rip2) induces autophagy and its under-lying mechanisms in human pancreatic cancer cell line Panc-1. METHODS:The empty plasmid pEGFP-C2 or recombinant plasmid pEGFP-Rip2 was transfected into the Panc-1 cells by jetPRIME reagent. The untreated cells served as control group. The protein levels of Rip2, autophagy-related molecules (beclin-1 and LC3-Ⅱ), and phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K)/protein kinase B (Akt)/mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) pathway-related proteins were determined by Western blot 48 h after transfection. The morphological changes of the autophagosomes were observed by transmission electron microscopy. RESULTS:The protein level of Rip2 was significantly increased in the Panc-1 cells transfected with pEGFP-Rip2 plasmid. The protein expression of beclin-1 and LC3-Ⅱ in pEGFP-Rip2 group was higher than that in control group and pEGFP-C2 group (all P<0.01). An increased number of autophagosomes was observed under transmission electron microscope in pEGFP-Rip2 group as compared with control group and pEGFP-C2 group. Furthermore, the protein levels of p-mTOR and p-AKT in pEGFP-Rip2 group were lower than those in control group and pEGFP-C2 group (all P<0.01), while no significant difference of the total mTOR and AKT protein levels was found among the 3 groups. CONCLUSION:Rip2 induces autophagy in the Panc-1 cells and its mechanism may be related to inhibiting the activation of PI3K/Akt/mTOR pathway. 相似文献

AIM To investigate the effect of tetrandrine on the autophagy of human ovarian serous cystadenocarcinoma SKOV3 cells, and to explore its molecular mechanism. METHODS The SKOV3 cells were treated with various concentrations of tetrandrine, and the cell viability was measured by MTT assay. The formation of autophagolysosomes was observed by acridine orange staining under fluorescence microscope. The protein levels of LC3, mTOR, p-mTOR, Akt and p-Akt in the SKOV3 cells were determined by Western blot. The viability of the SKOV3 cells treated with tetrandrine alone or combined with autophagy inhibitor 3-methyladenine (3-MA) were measured by MTT assay. RESULTS Tetrandrine significantly inhibited the viability of SKOV3 cells in a dose-dependent manner (P <0.01). The results of acridine orange fluorescence staining showed that the number of intracellular autophagolysosomes with bright red fluorescence in the SKOV3 cells was significantly increased after tetrandrine treatment, while the autophagolysosomes were rarely observed in control group. The protein levels of LC3-II and P62 in the SKOV3 cells were significantly increased after tetrandrine treatment (P <0.01). Furthermore, treatment with tetrandrine resulted in significant down-regulation of phosphorylated form of mTOR and AKT in the SKOV3 cells (P <0.01), while total mTOR and AKT protein levels were not changed. Finally, combination of tetrandrine and 3-MA significantly decreased the cell viability compared with using tetrandrine alone (P <0.01). CONCLUSION The autophagy of human ovarian cancer SKOV3 cells were induced by tetrandrine and the molecular mechanism may be related to inhibition of PI3K/Akt/mTOR signaling pathway. 相似文献

AIM: To observe the effect of receptor-interacting protein 2 (Rip2) overexpression on human pancreatic cancer cell line Panc-1. METHODS: pEGFP-C2 and pEGFP-Rip2 plasmids were respectively transfected into the Panc-1 cells using JetPRIME reagent. The cells were divided into control group, pEGFP-C2 group and pEGFP-Rip2 group. The apoptosis in the cells was detected 48 h after transfection by flow cytometry. Rip2 level and the expression of apoptosis-related proteins, Bax, cytoplasmic cytochrome c (Cyt-c) and Bcl-2, were analyzed by Western blot. The activity of caspase-3 was measured by colorimetric method. RESULTS: Rip2 protein expression significantly increased in the cells transfected with control and pEGFP-C2 plasmids. The apoptotic rate in pEGFP-Rip2 group was higher than that in control group and pEGFP-C2 group, whereas no significant difference of apoptotic rate was observed between control group and pEGFP-C2 group. The protein expression of Bax and cytoplasmic Cyt-c was remarkably increased and the protein expression of Bcl-2 was obviously decreased in pEGFP-Rip2 group as compared with control group and pEGFP-C2 group. The activity of caspase-3 in pEGFP-Rip2 group was obviously increased as compared with control group and pEGFP-C2 group. CONCLUSION: Overexpression of Rip2 is able to induce apoptosis in the Panc-1 cells, and the mechanism may be related to the up-regulation of Bax and cytoplasmic Cyt-c protein expression, down-regulation of Bcl-2 protein expression and enhancement of caspase-3 activity, thus activating intrinsic apoptotic pathway. 相似文献

The protein expression of beclin-1 and LC3-II, and the number of LC3 spots in pEGFP-NOD8 group were significantly decreased as compared with control group and pEGFP-C2 group. Moreover, the protein levels of p-AKT and p-mTOR in pEGFP-NOD8 group were higher than those in control group and pEGFP-C2 group, while no significant difference of mTOR and AKT protein expression was found among these 3 groups. Furthermore, the protein levels of beclin-1 and LC3-II, and the number of LC3 spots in pEGFP-NOD8+Z-VAD-FMK group were significantly increased compared with pEGFP-NOD8 group. CONCLUSION: NOD8 inhibits autophagy in the Panc-1 cells and its mechanism may be related to the activation of PI3K/Akt/mTOR pathways.

AIM:To observe the effects of shikonin on the apoptosis and autophagy of human cervical cancer HeLa cells, and to explore the possible role of PI3K/Akt/mTOR signaling pathway in these processes. METHODS:The HeLa cells were treated with shikonin, and the cell viability was detected by CCK-8 assay. The apoptosis was detected by Annexin V/PI double staining. The autophagosome was observed by transfection with GFP-LC3 into the HeLa cells. After the treatment with shikonin combined with autophagy inhibitor 3-methyladenine (3-MA) or apoptosis inhibitor Z-DEVD-FMK, the protein levels of autophagy-and apoptosis-related molecules microtuble-associated protein 1 light chain 3 (LC3) and cleaved caspase-3 in the HeLa cells were determined by Western blot. The protein levels of phosphorylated PI3K (p-PI3K), phosphorylated Akt (p-Akt) and phosphorylated mTOR (p-mTOR) were also determined by Western blot. RESULTS:Shikonin significantly inhibited the viability of HeLa cells (P<0.05). Compared with control group, shikonin significantly induced apoptosis of HeLa cells (P<0.05). The results of GFP-LC3 plasmid transfection analysis showed that green dot-like congregate autophagosomes appeared in the cytoplasm of the HeLa cells after shikonin treatment, while the autophagosomes were rarely observed in control group. Compared with shikonin group, LC3-Ⅱ/LC3-I was significantly decreased and cleaved caspase-3 was significantly increased in shikonin+3-MA group (P<0.05). Compared with shikonin group, LC3-Ⅱ/LC3-I was significantly increased and cleaved caspase-3 was significantly decreased in shikonin+Z-DEVD-FMK group (P<0.05). Compared with control group, shikonin significantly decreased the protein levels of p-PI3K, p-Akt and p-mTOR (P<0.05). CONCLUSION:The apoptosis and autophagy of the HeLa cells are induced by shikonin, these two processes are complementary. The mechanism may be related to inhibition of PI3K/Akt/mTOR signaling pathway. 相似文献

ROCK promotes high glucose-induced cardiomyocyte apoptosis by inhi-biting PI3K/Akt signaling pathway
AIMTo investigate whether Rho-associated coiled-coil kinase (ROCK) is involved in high glucose-induced apoptosis of primary cardiomyocytes by regulating PI3K/Akt signaling pathway. METHODSPrimary Wistar rat cardiomyocytes were cultured and identified by α-sarcomeric actin (α-SCA) immunohistochemistry. Cardiomyocytes were treated with 5.5, 33 and 40 mmol/L glucose for 48 h. The cell viability was measured by MTT assay, and the mRNA expression of ROCK1 and ROCK2 in the cardiomyocytes was detected by RT-qPCR. Flow cytometry was used to analyze the apoptosis of the cardiomyocytes. The protein levels of ROCK1, ROCK2, cleaved caspase-3, Bcl-2, PI3K, Akt and p-Akt were determined by Western blot. In order to confirm the regulatory effect of ROCKs on PI3K/Akt signaling pathway, the cells were divided into control group (5.5 mmol/L glucose), high glucose group (33 mmol/L glucose) and high glucose+Y27632 (ROCK inhibitor) group. Western blot was used to detect the protein levels of ROCK1, ROCK2, PI3K, Akt and p-Akt. RESULTSAfter 48 h of high glucose exposure, the values of relative cell viability in 33 and 40 mmol/L glucose groups were (79.71±2.43)% and (68.41±7.49)%, respectively, both of which were significantly decreased compared with normal control group (P <0.05). After 48 h of high glucose exposure, the relative mRNA levels of ROCK1 and ROCK2 in 33 and 40 mmol/L glucose groups were significantly increased compared with normal control group (P <0.05). Compared with normal control group, the apoptotic rate in 33 and 40 mmol/L glucose groups was increased significantly (P <0.05). Compared with normal control group, the protein expression of ROCK1, ROCK2 and cleaved caspase-3 in 33 and 40 mmol/L glucose groups was increased (P <0.05), while the protein expression of Bcl-2 was decreased (P <0.05). No significant difference in the protein levels of PI3K and Akt among the 3 groups was observed, while the protein level of p-Akt in 33 and 40 mmol/L glucose groups was decreased compared with normal control group (P <0.05). Compared with high glucose group, the expression of ROCK1 and ROCK2 was decreased in high glucose+Y27632 group. No significant difference in the protein levels of PI3K and Akt among the 3 groups was observed. Compared with normal control group, the protein level of p-Akt in high glucose group was decreased, and the protein level of p-Akt in high glucose+Y27632 group was increased significantly compared with high glucose group. CONCLUSION Under high glucose environment, ROCK may reduce the level of p-Akt by inhibiting the PI3K/Akt signaling pathway, thus promoting the apoptosis of cardiomyocytes. 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

AIMTo investigate the effect of curcumin (CUR) on autophagy of hepatovyte in rats with lipopolysaccharide (LPS)/D-galactosamine (D-GalN)-induced acute liver injury (AHI). METHODSThe healthy male Sprague-Dawley (SD) rats were randomized into the control group,AHI group,CUR group, 3-methy-ladenine (3-MA) group and 3-MA+CUR group, with 6 rats in each group. AHI was induced with an intraperitoneal injection of LPS and D-GalN. Liver function was tested 12 h after LPS/D-GalN treatment. Pathological changes of liver tissues were analyzed by HE staining.The amount of autophagic bodies were observed by transmission electron microscopy. The protein levels of autophagy related-proteins LC3 and beclin 1 in livers were detected by Western blot. ELISA were used to examine the serum levels of tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α). RESULTSCompared with control group, the serum level of alanine aminotransferase (ALT) and asparated aminotransferase (AST) were significantly increased, hepatic pathological damage were aggravated and serum TNF-α level was significantly increased in AHI group, while the autophagic bodies and the protein levels of LC3 and beclin 1 were increased (P <0.01).

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 analyze the regulatory effect of quercetin (QUE) on PTEN-induced putative kinase 1 (PINK1)/parkin mitochondrial autophagy pathway, and to explore the mechanism of quercetin in relieving cerebral ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury. METHODS Sixty SD male rats were randomly divided into sham operation group, model group (I/R group), QUE group,3-methyladenine (3-MA) group and QUE+3-MA group. Administration started in each group 3 days before modeling, once a day, at 30 min after the last administration,except sham group, the other groups used 4-vessel blockage method to establish the whole brain I/R model. On the day after modeling, the neural function was evaluated by neuropathy disability score (NDS). The volume of cerebral infarction was measured by 2,3,5-triphenyltetrazolium chloride (TTC) staining. The morphological changes of mitochondria in hippocampus were observed by transmission electron microscopy. The contents of interleukin-6 (IL-6) and tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) in hippocampus were measured by ELISA. The activity of superoxide dismutase (SOD) and contents of malondialdehyde (MDA) in hippocampus were detected by xanthine oxidase method, thiobarbituric acid condensation method. Western blot was used to detect the proteinex pression of PINK1, parkin and LC3-II in brain tissue. RESULTS Compared with sham group, the hippocampus of the rats in I/R group and QUE+3-MA group showed swelling of mitochondria, destruction or disappearance of internal crista and other pathological damage,also the volume of cerebral infarction, the contents of IL-6, TNF-α and MDA, the protein expression levels of PINK1, parkin and LC3-II were increased (P <0.05), while NDS score and activity of SOD were decreased (P <0.05). Compared with I/R group and QUE+3-MA group, the pathological damage degree of hippocampus in QUE group was reduced, the volume of cerebral infarction, the contents of IL-6, TNF-α and MDA were decreased (P <0.05), the proteinexpression levels of PINK1, parkin and LC3-II, and NDS score and activity of SOD were increased (P <0.05).The above indexes in 3-MA group were opposite to QUE group. No significant difference in the above indexes between I/R group and QUE+3-MA group was observed (P >0.05). CONCLUSION Quercetin activates mitochondrial autophagy and reduces cerebral I/R by regulating the expression of PINK1/parkin pathway proteins. 相似文献

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 study the effect of pterostilbene (PTE) on autophagy and SIRT1-FoxO signaling pathway in cervical cancer cells. METHODS Human cervical cancer HeLa cells were used as the study objects. CCK-8 assay and flow cytometry were used to determine the effects of PTE at different concentrations on the viability and apoptotic rate of HeLa cells. The mRNA expression of SIRT1 and FoxO in the cells was detected by qPCR. The number of autophagosomes in the cells was observed under transmission electron microscope.The protein levels of SIRT1, FoxO, LC3-Ⅰ,LC3-Ⅱ, p62, Bax and Bcl-2 in the cells were determined by Western blot. RESULTS After treatment with PTE for 24 and 48 h, the viability inhibitory rate of the HeLa cells was increased with increasing PTE concentration. Compared with 0 μmol/L PTE, after 15, 30 and 60 μmol/L PTE treatment, the apoptotic rate of the HeLa cells, the number of autophagosomes in the cells, and the protein levels of Bax, LC3-Ⅱ/LC3-Ⅰ, SIRT1 and FoxO were increased (P <0.05), while the protein levels of Bcl-2 and p62 were decreased (P <0.05) in a concentration-dependent manner. CONCLUSION PTE may induce autophagy and apoptosis of HeLa cells by activating SIRT1-FoxO signaling pathway, and inhibit HeLa cell viability. 相似文献

AIM To investigate the effect of intermittent hypoxia (IH) on bladder detrusor cells apoptosis and calcium channel, and to discuss the regulatory mechanism of Alpiniae oxyphyllae Fructus (AOF). METHODS IH model of bladder detrusor cells was established by treating the cells with 6 cycles of 5% O2 for 60 min and 20% O2 for 30 min. Human bladder detrusor cells were cultured in vitro , randomly divided into 6 groups, each group had 8 holes. P2X3 receptor antagonist + IH (A) group, M3 receptor antagonist + IH (B) group, β3 receptor antagonist + IH (C) group, AOF + IH (D) group, saline + IH control (NC) group and air simulation control (AC) group were set up. The cells density and morphology were identified by the methods of counting chamber and immunofluorescence light microscopy (LM) after interventions. The apoptosis was analyzed by flow cytometry. Calcium channel expression was detected by patch clamp. RESULTS (1) Compared with the cells in AC group, the cells density and activity were significantly increased in NC group (P <0.05); some cells appeared protrusions, turned round and blur in cell borders. (2) The results of immunofluorescence for detecting α-SMA protein expression showed that, compared with the cells in group AC, the mean absorbance (MA ) in group NC was significantly increased (F =3.25, P <0.05); compared with the cells in group NC, that in group A and group D was both decreased significantly (P <0.05). (3) Compared with the cells in group AC, the apoptotic rate was significantly decreased in group NC (P <0.05); Compared with the cells in group NC, the apoptotic rates in group A and group D were both significantly increased (P >0.05). (4) Compared with the cells in group AC, calcium ion channel expression was significantly decreased (P <0.05). Compared with the cells in group NC, calcium ion channel expression in AOF (100 mg/L) and AOF (50 mg/L) group was significantly increased (P <0.05). CONCLUSION IH regulates bladder detrusor cells proliferation and apoptosis through P2X3 bladder nerve receptors, high or moderate dose of AOF may change calcium channel and play a protective role in IH induced cell damage. 相似文献

AIM To investigate the effect of sinomenine (SN) on the damage of human neuroblastoma SK-N-SH cells induced by 1-methyl-4-4 phenylpyridine (MPP+) and its mechanism for exploring the pathogenesis of Parkinson disease. METHODS SN was used to treat MPP+-induced SK-N-SH cells. The levels of malondialdehyde (MDA) and glutathione (GSH) in cell culture supernatants were measured by ELISA. The apoptosis was analyzed by flow cytometry. The protein expression levels of Bcl-2 and Bax were determined by Western blot. The expression levels of long noncoding RNA ANRIL and microRNA-626 (miR-626) were detected by RT-qPCR. Dual-luciferase reporter assay was used to evaluate the relationship between ANRIL and miR-626. After ANRIL small interfering RNA was transfected into SK-N-SH cells, the effects of ANRIL expression knock-down on MPP+-induced SK-N-SH cell apoptosis, the protein expression levels of Bcl-2 and Bax, and the levels of MDA and GSH in cell culture supernatants were examined. RESULTS After treatment with MPP+, the apoptotic rate, Bax protein level and ANRIL expression in SK-N-SH cells were increased (P <0.05), and the Bcl-2 protein level and miR-626 expression were decreased (P <0.05). The level of MDA in cell culture supernatants was increased (P <0.05), and the level of GSH was decreased (P <0.05). After SN treatment or ANRIL expression knock-down, decreased apoptotic rate, Bax protein level and ANRIL expression (P <0.05), and increased Bcl-2 protein level and miR-626 expression in MPP+-induced SK-N-SH cells were observed (P <0.05). The level of MDA in the cell culture supernatants was decreased (P <0.05), and the level of GSH was increased (P <0.05). CONCLUSION SN attenuates MPP+-induced damage in SK-N-SH cells by regulating ANRIL/miR-626 signaling pathway. 相似文献

METHODS: The rat H9c2 cells were cultured in vitro . The effect of AT1-AA at different concentrations for different time on the cell viability was measured by CCK-8 assay. Upon the optimum concentration (10-5 mol/L) and time point (24 h) determined in this stu-dy, the experssion levels of autophagy- and apoptosis-related proteins were detected by Western blot, and the levels of glutathione peroxidase (GSH-Px), superoxide dismutase (SOD) and malondialdehyde (MDA) were examined by oxidative stress kits. RESULTS: AT1-AA decreased cell viability in a concentration- and time-dependent manner, promoted apoptosis, and up-regulated the levels of autophagy and oxidative stress (P <0.05). The apoptosis of H9c2 cells induced by AT1-AA was decreased after pretreatment with autophagy inhibitor 3-methyladenine (P <0.05). The levels of autophagy and apoptosis in the H9c2 cells pretreated with α-lipoic acid were decreased (P <0.05). Pretreatment with angiotensin Ⅱtype 1 receptor inhibitor telmisartan inhibited oxidative stress, and significantly decreased the levels of autophagy and apoptosis induced by AT1-AA in the H9c2 cells (P <0.05). CONCLUSION: AT1-AA induces autophagy and apoptosis of H9c2 cells through oxidative stress. 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

AIM To investigate the effects of procaine (PCA) and CXC chemokine receptor 7 (CXCR7) on the viability, migration and invasion of bladder cancer cells and its potential mechanism. METHODS Human bladder cancer RT4 cells were treated with PCA at different concentrations, and were divided into PBS group (without PCA treatment), PCA group (treated with 4 mmol/L PCA), siRNA negative control (si-Con) group (transfected with si-Con), CX?CR7 siRNA (si-CXCR7) group (transfected with si-CXCR7), PCA+pcDNA group (treated with 4 mmol/L PCA and transfected with pcDNA) and PCA+pcDNA-CXCR7 group (treated with 4 mmol/L PCA and transfected with pcDNA-CX?CR7). The siRNA and pcDNA were transfected into the RT4 cells by liposome method. The mRNA expression of CX?CR7 in the RT4 cells was detected by RT-qPCR. The cell viability was measured by CCK-8 assay. The invasion and migration abilities of the cells were detected by Transwell assays. The protein levels of CXCR7, AKT, STAT3, p-AKT and p-STAT3 were determined by Western blot . RESULTS Compared with PBS group, the viability, migration ability and invasion ability of the RT4 cells treated with PCA at different concentrations were significantly decreased (P <0.05), and the expression of CXCR7 at mRNA and protein levels in PCA group was also significantly decreased (P <0.05). Compared with si-Con group, the expression of CXCR7 at mRNA and protein levels in si-CXCR7 group was significantly decreased, and the viability, migration ability and invasion ability of the cells were also significantly decreased (P <0.05). Compared with PCA+pcDNA group, the expression of CXCR7 at mRNA and protein levels in PCA+pcDNA-CXCR7 group was significantly increased, and the viability, migration ability and invasion ability of the cells were also significantly increased (P <0.05). Compared with PBS group, the protein levels of p-AKT and p-STAT3 in PCA group were significantly decreased(P <0.05). Compared with PCA+pcDNA group, the protein levels of p-AKT and p-STAT3 in PCA+pcDNA-CX?CR7 group were significantly increased (P <0.05). No significant difference in the protein levels of AKT and STAT3 among the groups was observed. CONCLUSION Treatment with PCA inhibits the viability, migration and invasion of bladder cancer cells by inhibiting the expression of CXCR7. Over-expression of CXCR7 reverses this effect of PCA. Its mechanism may be related to AKT/STAT3 signaling pathway. 相似文献
