AIM: To investigate the role of canonical transient receptor potential channel 1 (TRPC1) in the epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) of human bronchial epithelial (HBE) cells induced by transforming growth factor-β1 (TGF-β1). METHODS: EMT of 16HBE cells induced by TGF-β1 were identified by microscopy, immunofluorescence and Western blotting. Immunofluorescence, real-time PCR and Western blotting were applied to detect the mRNA and the protein expression of TRPC1 in the 16HBE cells. The influence of SKF96365 (a TRPC1 blocker) and siRNA-mediated silencing of TRPC1 on the EMT of the 16HBE cells were detected by microscopy and Western blotting. RESULTS: Treatment with TGF-β1 induced significant morphological changes of the 16HBE cells. Exposure to TGF-β1 decreased the expression of E-cadherin protein (P<0.01) and increased the expression of α-SMA protein (P<0.05) in the 16HBE cells. Immunofluorescence observation indicated that TRPC1 expression in the 16HBE cells was positive. The expression of TRPC1 at mRNA and protein levels was significantly increased in the 16HBE cells after stimulation with TGF-β1 (P<0.05). The morphological changes of the 16HBE cells induced by TGF-β1 were inhibited by SKF96365 and TRPC1 silencing compared with TGF-β1 group. The protein expression of E-cadherin and α-SMA induced by TGF-β1 were inhibited by SKF96365 and TRPC1 silencing compared with TGF-β1 group (P<0.05). CONCLUSION: TGF-β1 induces EMT with the mechanism of up-regulating TRPC1 in human bronchial epithelial cells. 相似文献

AIM:To investigate the effects of luteolin on the invasion and epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) induced by transforming growth factor-β1 (TGF-β1) in lung cancer A549 cells. METHODS:The effect of luteolin at 5, 10, 20, 40, 80 and 160 μmol/L on the viability of A549 cells was measured by MTT assay. The invasion ability was analyzed by Transwell method. The morphological changes of the A549 cells were observed under microscope.The protein expression of E-cadherin and vimentin in the A549 cells were determined by Western blot. RESULTS:The viability of the A549 cells was significantly inhibited by luteolin in a dose-time dependent manner (P<0.05). The IC50 of luteolin for the A549 cells (24 h) was 68.79 μmol/L, while that (48 h) was 47.86 μmol/L. TGF-β1 induced morphological alteration of the A549 cells from epithelial to mesenchymal forms. Luteolin significantly inhibited TGF-β1-induced invasion of the A549 cells (P<0.01). The protein expression of E-cadherin was significantly down-regulated and the protein expression of vimentin was significantly up-regulated in the presence of TGF-β1 at 5 μg/L (P<0.01). However, luteolin reversed TGF-β1-induced EMT, up-regulation of E-cadherin and down-regulation of vimentin (P<0.01). CONCLUSION:Lu-teolin reverses TGF-β1-induced EMT in the lung cancer A549 cells. 相似文献

AIM: To investigate the effect of toosendanin (TSN) on invasion and migration abilities of human ovarian cancer cells and the related mechanism. METHODS: The human ovarian cancer cell lines CAVO-3 and SKVO-3 were treated with TSN at different concentrations. The cell viabilty at 12, 24, 48, 72 and 96 h after TSN treatment was measured by CCK-8 assay. Scratch wound healing assay and Transwell assay were employed to measure the invasion and migration abilities of CAVO-3 cells. The protein expression of nuclear factor-κB (NF-κB) p65, E-cadherin, N-cadherin, vimentin and Snail was determined by Western blot. RESULTS: TSN significantly inhibited the viability of CAVO-3 and SKVO-3 cells (P<0.05). Compared with control group, the migration and invasion abilities of CAVO-3 cells in TSN group decreased significantly (P<0.05). In addition, the expression of NF-κB p65 and E-cadherin protein increased notably, followed with N-cadherin, vimentin and Snail protein decreased significantly (P<0.05). However, the inhibitor of NF-κB BAY11-7082 reversed the impact above. Compared with TSN group, the migration and invasion abilities in TSN+BAY11-7082 group increased significantly (P<0.05). The protein expression of E-cadherin also decreased notably, followed with the protein expression of N-cadherin, vimentin and Snail increased significantly (P<0.05). CONCLUSION: TSN inhibits the invasion and migration abilities of human ovarian cancer cells, which is related to the inhibition of epithelial-mesenchymal transition process mediated by NF-κB/Snail signaling pathway. 相似文献

AIM: To investigate whether transforming growth factor-β1 (TGF-β1) participates in hypoxia-induced bronchial epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) through lysyl oxidase (LOX). METHODS: Sprague-Dawley (SD) rats were exposed to hypoxia to establish the animal model and were treated with LOX inhibitor β-aminopropionitrile (β-APN). Furthermore, primary rat bronchial epithelial cells were cultured in vitro and exposed either to normoxia or to hypoxia. TGF-β1, TGF-β1 receptor inhibitor (SB431542) or β-APN was used in the cell experiments. The content of collagen was measured by colorimetric method. The expression of TGF-β1, LOX, and 2 EMT-related proteins (namely, the epithelial marker E-cadherin and the mesenchymal marker vimentin) were determined by immunohistochemistry and We-stern blot, respectively. RESULTS: The expression of TGF-β1, vimentin and LOX and cross-linking of collagen were enhanced in hypoxia-exposed rat and in hypoxia-exposed bronchial epithelial cells, but the enhancement was impaired by the treatment with β-APN. In contrast, the expression of E-cadherin was reduced in hypoxia-exposed rat, and was reversed by treatment with β-APN. In vitro experiments demonstrated that TGF-β1 and hypoxia led to the morphological phenotype characteristic of EMT in rat bronchial epithelial cells, in which the morphology of rat bronchial epithelial cells was switched from cobble-stone shape in normoxia-exposed group to spindle fibroblast-like morphology in hypoxia-or TGF-β1-exposed group (P<0.01). Additionally, both β-APN and SB431542 partially prevented TGF-β1 and hypoxia induced EMT in rat bronchial epithelial cells. TGF-β1was able to dose-dependently up-regulate LOX expression in rat bronchial epithelial cells, which was blocked by concurrent incubation with SB431542. The up-regulation of TGF-β1, vimentin, LOX and cross-linking of collagen and down-regulation of E-cadherin in hypoxia-exposed rat bronchial epithelial cells was significantly reversed by incubation with SB431542. CONCLUSION: TGF-β1 regulates hypoxia-induced EMT in bronchial epithelial cells via activation of the LOX. 相似文献

AIM: To investigate the effect of differentiated embryonic chondrocyte gene 1 (DEC1) expression silencing on viability, invasion and migration of human breast cancer MDA-MB-231 cells and its possible mechanism under hypoxia. METHODS: The expression of DEC1 was detected by RT-qPCR and Western blot in breast cancer MDA-MB-231 cells under normoxia and hypoxia. MDA-MB-231 cells were transfected with the siRNA targeting DEC1 and the protein levels of DEC1, Smad3 and phosphorylated Smad3 (p-Smad3) were examined under hypoxia. Subsequently, the changes in the viability, invasion and migration abilities of MDA-MB-231 cells were analyzed by CCK-8 assay, Transwell experiment and Scratch test, respectively. RESULTS: The expression of DEC1 in MDA-MB-231 cells under hypoxia was higher than that in the MDA-MB-231 cells under normoxia condition at both mRNA and protein levels (P<0.05). The viability, invasion and migration abilities of MDA-MB-231 cells in siRNA-DEC1 group were decreased significantly as compared with control group (P<0.01). Besides, the protein level of p-Smad3 in the MDA-MB-231 cells in siRNA-DEC1 group was lower than that in negative control group under hypoxia condition (P<0.05). CONCLUSION: Down-regulated DEC1 expression significantly decreases the viability, invasion and migration abilities of breast cancer MDA-MB-231 cells by blocking the TGF-β/Smad3 signaling pathway under hypoxia condition. 相似文献

AIM:To investigate the effect of high-mobility group box-1 (HMGB1) expression knockdown on the invasion ability of breast cancer cells induced by tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α). METHODS:HMGB1 siRNA was used to transfect into the breast cancer MDA-MB-231 cells. The expression of HMGB1 at mRNA and protein levels was determined by RT-qPCR and Western blot. After the MDA-MB-231 cells with HMGB1 expression knockdown were treated with TNF-α, the apoptosis rate was analyzed by flow cytometry, the cell invasion ability was measured by Transwell assay, and the cell migration ability was detected by cell scratch test. The protein expression of E-cadherin, MMP-2, N-cadherin, MMP-9 and Bax was determined by Western blot. RESULTS:The expression of HMGB1 at mRNA and protein levels in the MDA-MB-231 cells transfected with HMGB1 siRNA was significantly lower than that in the non-transfected cells (P<0.05). The apoptosis rate in the cells was increased after TNF-α treatment, and the cell invasion and migration abilities were also increased. The protein level of E-cadherin in the cells was decreased, the protein level of N-cadherin was increased, and the protein levels of MMP-2, MMP-9 and Bax were also increased (P<0.05). After the MDA-MB-231 cells with HMGB1 expression knockdown were induced by TNF-α, the apoptotic rate was increased, the invasion and migration abilities were decreased, the protein levels of E-cadherin and Bax were increased, and the protein levels of N-cadherin, MMP-2 and MMP-9 were decreased, as compared with the cells only induced by TNF-α without knockdown of HMGB1 expression (P<0.05). CONCLUSION:Knockdown of HMGB1 expression enhances the apoptosis of breast cancer cells induced by TNF-α, and inhibited the cell invasion, migration and epithelial-mesenchymal transition induced by TNF-α. The mechanism may be related with the changes of protein expression of MMP-2, MMP-9 and Bax. 相似文献

AIM: To study the effect of SCUBE2 on epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) in colorectal cancer cells and its mechanism. METHODS: The expression of SCUBE2 in human colorectal cancer cell line HCT116 and normal colonic cell line FHC was detected by real-time PCR and Western blot. HCT116 cells were transfected with GV144-SCUBE2 to over-express SCUBE2, and then the cell viability, migration, and apoptosis were determined by MTT assay, Transwell assay and flow cytometry, respectively. The expression of EMT markers (E-cadherin, vimentin, and Snail), β-catenin, c-Myc and cyclin D1 in the HCT116 cells was analyzed by real-time PCR or Western blot after transfection with GV144-SCUBE2 for 6 h, followed by the stimulation of 10 μg/L recombinant TGF-β1 protein for 48 h. Additionally, the EMT process of HCT116 cells, which were stimulated by TGF-β1, over-expressed SCUBE2, and treated with Wnt/β-catenin pathway activator lithium chloride (LiCl) or inhibitor XAV93920, was analyzed by Western blot. RESULTS: Compared with FHC cells, the expression of SCUBE2 in the HCT116 cells was significantly decreased. The viability and migration ability of the HCT116 cells were suppressed by SCUBE2 over-expression, but the apoptosis was not markedly changed. Elevated expression of SCUBE2 increased E-cadherin expression, and decreased the expression of vimentin, Snail, β-catenin, c-Myc and cyclin D1 induced by TGF-β1. Treatment with LiCl blocked but treatment with XAV93920 enhanced the effects of SCUBE2 on EMT. CONCLUSION: Over-expression of SCUBE2 may inhibit the cell growth and migration, and suppress EMT through Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway. 相似文献

AIM: To investigate the effect of cellular Sloan-Kettering Institute (c-SKI) on the proliferation and endothelial-mesenchymal transition of human coronary artery endothelial cells (HCAECs). METHODS: HCAECs were treated with transforming growth factor-β1 (TGF-β1) at varying concentrations for different time points. Western blot was used to test the expression of c-SKI and mesenchymal markers such as α-smooth muscle actin (α-SMA) and vimentin. Meanwhile, the endothelial marker E-cadherin was also detected. HCAECs were transfected with c-ski gene mediated by lentivirus (LV), the efficiency of LV-SKI transfection was detected by RT-qPCR. The HCAECs were divided into 4 groups:control group, TGF-β1 (5 μg/L) group, LV-SKI+ TGF-β1 group, LV-NC+ TGF-β1 group. The cell viability and colony formation were measured by MTT assay and colony formation assay. The protein levels of vimentin, α-SMA, E-cadherin, Smad2, Smad3, p-Smad2 and p-Smad3 were determined by Western blot. RESULTS: The expression of c-SKI was down-regulated in the HCAECs treated with TGF-β1 (P<0.01). Over-expression of c-SKI inhibited the proliferation of HCAECs (P<0.01). Compared with LV-NC group, over-expression of c-SKI down-regulated the expression of α-SMA and vimentin (P<0.01), up-regulated the expression of E-cadherin (P<0.01), and inhibited the protein phosphorylation of Smad2 and Smad3 (P<0.01), reversed the endothelial-mesenchymal transition induced by TGF-β1. CONCLUSION: The expression of c-SKI in the HCAECs is down-regulated in the process of endothelial-mesenchymal transition. Over-expression of c-SKI inhibits proliferation and endothelial-mesenchymal transition of HCAECs, the mechanism may be related to regulation of the TGF-β1/Smad signaling pathway. 相似文献

AIM: To explore the effect of new artificially synthesized androgen receptor (AR) antagonist HC-1119 on the biological function of triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) BT549 cells and the molecular mechanism. METHODS: The AR expression was assessed in different human breast cancer cell lines MDA-MB-231, T47D, MCF-7, SKBR3 and BT549 by Western blot. The TNBC BT549 cells with AR positive expression were treated with HC-1119. The cell viability was measured by CCK-8 assay. The apoptosis rate and cell cycle distribution were analyzed by flow cytometry. The migration and invasion abilities were detected by Transwell assay in vitro. The protein expression of E-cadherin, vimentin and P21 was determined by Western blot. RESULTS: AR was positively expressed in BT549 cells. HC-1119 inhibited the cell viability in a time-and dose-dependent manner (P<0.05), increased the percentage of apoptotic cells and the percentage of S-phase cells significantly, repressed the migration and invasion abilities (P<0.05), and decreased P21 expression at protein level (P<0.01). No influence on the expression of E-cadherin and vimentin in the BT549 cells was observed. CONCLUSION: AR antagonist HC-1119 decreases the viability, migration ability and invasion ability, enhances the apoptosis, and arrests the cell cycle distribution of TNBC BT549 cells. HC-1119 represses the viability of BT549 cells by down-regulating P21 expression, while the process of epithelial-mesenchymal transition is not involved in the inhibition of cell migration. 相似文献

AIM: To investigate the effect of digoxin on hypoxia-induced epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT), migration and invasion in human breast carcinoma MCF-7 cells. METHODS: MCF-7 cells were treated in vitro with a chemical hypoxia inducer cobalt chloride (CoCl2) to imitate hypoxia. Cell migration was observed by wound healing assay, and cell invasion was measured by Transwell invasion assay. The protein levels of hypoxia-inducible factor-1α (HIF-1α), Snail, E-cadherin and vimentin in MCF-7 cells were detected by Western blot. RESULTS: Digoxin inhibited CoCl2-induced EMT and reversed the mesenchymal phenotype. CoCl2 enhanced the abilities of migration and invasion (P<0.01), significantly decreased the expression of E-cadherin and increased the expression of HIF-1α, Snail and vimentin (P<0.01), but these effects were blocked by digoxin. CONCLUSION: Digoxin inhibits CoCl2-induced EMT and invasion most likely via HIF1-α-Snail signaling pathway. 相似文献

AIM: To investigate the effects of the long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) PCAT1 on the oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) cell proliferation, growth, invasion and migration, and to explore the underlying mechanisms. METHODS: The PCAT1 siRNA was transfected by Lipofectmine 2000, and RT-qPCR and Western blot were performed to determine the mRNA and protein expression of relevant genes, respectively. CCK-8 assay and colony formation assay were used to measure OSCC cell proliferation and growth, respectively. The cell invasion and migration assays were used to measure the invasive and migratory abilities of the OSCC cells, respectively. RESULTS: PCAT1 was significantly up-regulated in OSCC tissues and cells compared with normal adjacent tissues and normal human oral keratinocyte cells, respectively (P<0.05). PCAT1 siRNA transfection suppressed the expression of PCAT1 in Tca8113 and TSCCa cells (P<0.05). Knockdown of PCAT1 in Tca8133 cells and TSCCa cells significantly suppressed the cell proliferation, invasion and migration abilities (P<0.05). In addition, knockdown of PCAT1 in Tca8133 cells and TSCCa cells also suppressed the mRNA and protein levels of ZEB-1, N-cadherin and vimentin, and increased the mRNA and protein expression of E-cadherin (P<0.05). CONCLUSION: Knockdown of PCAT1 suppresses cell proliferation and migration abilities, and the effect of PCAT1 on OSCC cells may be associated with epithelial-mesenchymal transition. 相似文献

AIM:To investigate the effects of shikonin on the migration, invasion and epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) in human non-small-cell lung cancer PC9 cells induced by hepatocyte growth factor (HGF). METHODS:The effect of shikonin on the viability of PC9 cells was measured by MTT assay. The cell migration and invasion abilities were analyzed by wound healing assay and Transwell method, respectively. The protein expression levels of E-cadherin, N-cadherin and vimentin in the PC9 cells were determined by Western blot. RESULTS:The viability of PC9 cells was significantly inhibited by shikonin in a dose-dependent manner (P<0.01), with IC50 at 9.364 μmol/L. HGF significantly promoted the abilities of migration and invasion, and induced EMT in the PC9 cells. Shikonin significantly inhibited HGF-induced migration and invasion in the PC9 cells. The expression of E-cadherin was significantly down-regulated and the expression of N-cadherin and vimentin was significantly up-regulated in the presence of HGF (50 μg/L). However, shikonin reversed HGF-induced EMT, as indicated by up-regulation of E-cadherin and down-regulation of N-cadherin and vimentin (P<0.01). CONCLUSION:Shikonin reverses HGF-induced EMT in lung cancer PC9 cells. 相似文献

AIM:To investigate the effect of NOB1 gene expression knock-down by transfection of small interfering RNA (siRNA) on the viability, drug sensitivity, apoptosis, cell cycle distribution, and invasion and migration abilities of human colon cancer SW480 cells. METHODS:NOB1 siRNA was transfected into SW480 cells using Lipofectamine 3000. The mRNA and protein levels of NOB1 in the SW480 cells were determined by real-time PCR and Western blot. The cell viability and sensitivity to different chemotherapeutic drugs (cisplatin, 5-fluorouracil, oxaliplatin and capecitabine) were detected by MTT assay after knock-down of NOB1 gene expression in the SW480 cells. The apoptosis and cell cycle distribution of SW480 cells were analyzed by flow cytometry. The invasion and migration abilities of SW480 cells were detected by Transwell assay. RESULTS:After transfection with NOB1 siRNA, the mRNA and protein levels of NOB1 in the SW480 cells were significantly decreased (P<0.05). Compared with control group and control siRNA group, the viability of SW480 cells in NOB1 siRNA group was significantly decreased at 24~72 h. The half maximal inhibitory concentrations of the chemotherapy drugs cisplatin, 5-fluorouracil, oxaliplatin and capecitabine were significantly decreased. The apoptotic rate was significantly increased and the cell cycle were blocked. The cell invasion and migration abilities were significantly reduced (P<0.05). CONCLUSION:Knock-down of NOB1 gene expression inhibits the viability and invasion and migration abilities of colon cancer SW480 cells, and promotes drug sensitivity and apoptosis. NOB1 may be a new target for diagnosis and treatment of colon cancer. 相似文献

AIM: To investigate the effect of Eph receptor A2 (EphA2) on drug resistance of colorectal carcinoma cells and its possible mechanisms. METHODS: Real-time PCR and Western blot were used to detect the expression of EphA2 at mRNA and protein levels in LoVo and LoVo/5-FU cells. EphA2 siRNA was transfected to down-regulate the EphA2 expression in LoVo/5-FU cells, and the drug sensitivity was calculated by CCK-8 assay. Meanwhile, cell migration and invasion were measured by wound healing assay and Transwell assay, and the protein levels of E-cadherin, β-catenin, N-cadherin, vimentin, Notch and Snail were determined by Western blot. RESULTS: The expression of EphA2 at both mRNA and protein levels was significantly up-regulated in LoVo/5-FU cells (P<0.05). Knockdown of EphA2 suppressed the cell viability, and migration and invasion abilities, but promoted drug sensitivity of LoVo/5-FU cells. Up-regulation of E-cadherin and β-catenin, and down-regulation of N-cadherin and vimentin were observed, indicating that the epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) process was suppressed. Knockdown of EphA2 decreased the expression levels of Notch and Snail. CONCLUSION: Down-regulation of EphA2 partly reverses drug resistance of LoVo/5-FU cells. The mechanism may be related to suppressing cell growth, migration, invasion and EMT process via Notch/Snail signaling pathway. 相似文献

AIM: To investigate the effect of IQGAP1 gene expression knock-down on invasion, migration and immunosuppression of glioma cells and its mechanism. METHODS: Human glioma U251 cells were randomly divided into blank group, negative control group and si-IQGAP1 group. AG490, an inhibitor of STAT3 signaling pathway, was used to treat the cells for 48 h. The cell viability was measured by MTT assay. The protein levels of IQGAP1, vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), transforming growth factor-β1 (TGF-β1), STAT3 and p-STAT3 were determined by Western blot. The cell invasion and migration abilities were detected by Transwell assays. RESULTS: The protein expression of IQGAP1 in si-IQGAP1-1 group and si-IQGAP1-2 group was significantly lower than that in blank group (P<0.05). Compared with blank group, the viability, the invasion ability and the migration ability of the cells in si-IQGAP1 group and AG490 group were significantly decreased, while the protein levels of VEGF, TGF-β1 and p-STAT3 were significantly decreased (P<0.05). Compared with AG490 group, the cell viability, invasion ability and migration ability in AG490+si-IQGAP1 group were significantly decreased, and the protein levels of VEGF and TGF-β1 were significantly decreased (P<0.05). CONCLUSION: Silencing of IQGAP1 gene expression reduces the invasion and migration abilities of glioma cells and decreases the protein expression of cellular immunosuppression molecules VEGF and TGF-β1, which is related to down-regulation of STAT3 signaling pathway. 相似文献

AIM: To analyze the expression of ovarian cancer G-protein-coupled receptor 1 (OGR1), a proton-sensing receptor, in the endothelial progenitor cells (EPCs), and to explore the role of OGR1 in acid-regulated viability and tube formation ability of EPCs. METHODS: The method of FITC-UEA-I and DiI-Ac-LDL double staining was used to identify the EPCs. The expression of OGR1 in mouse EPCs was analyzed by real-time-PCR and Western blot. After treatment with different pH media, the OGR1 expression was analyzed in EPCs. The viability and cell cycle distribution of the EPCs were analyzed by CCK-8 and flow cytometry assay. The migration and vascularization of EPCs were measured by scratch test, Transwell migration assay and tube formation experiments after silencing OGR1 using small interfering RNA(siRNA). RESULTS: The isolated endothelial progenitor cells were well differentiated, and FITC-UEA-I and DiI-Ac-LDL staining was positive. The expression of OGR1 at mRNA and protein levels was observed in mouse EPCs. The expression of OGR1 was increased gradually with the decrease of pH value of the medium, while the expression of OGR1 was the highest in the medium of pH 6.4 (P<0.05). pH 6.4 medium inhibited the viability of the EPCs and induced cell cycle arrest at G0/G1 phase. Knock-down of OGR1 expression by siRNA partially reversed the effect of acidic environment on the EPCs (P<0.05). The abilities of migration and tube formation of EPCs were inhibited by pH 6.4 medium, while transfection of siRNA to silence OGR1 expression partially reversed the effect (P<0.05). CONCLUSION: The expression of OGR1 in EPCs is positive, and OGR1 mediates the effects of acid on the viability, migration and tube formation ability of EPCs. 相似文献
