Effects of p21-activated kinase 6 on invasion and migration of human non-small-cell lung cancer A549 cells

AIM：To investigate the effects of p21-activated kinase 6 (PAK6) on the invasive and migratory abilities of human non-small-cell lung cancer A549 cells. METHODS：The expression of PAK6 mRNA in A549 cells, human bronchial epithelial (HBE) cells, non-small-cell lung cancer tissues and paired adjacent non-tumor tissues was measured by real-time PCR. After A549 cells were transfected with siRNA-PAK6 (siPAK6) or negative control (NC) for 48 h, the expression of PAK6 at mRNA and protein levels was measured by real-time PCR and Western blotting, respectively. The invasion and migration of A549 cells were detected by Matrigel invasion assay and Transwell migration assay. The cytoskeletal changes were observed with FITC-phalloidin staining under confocal microscope. RESULTS：The level of PAK6 mRNA in A549 cells was higher than that in HBE cells (3.50±1.16 vs 1.12±0.42, P<0.05). The level of PAK6 mRNA in non-small-cell lung cancer tissues was higher than that in paired adjacent non-tumor tissues (5.13±1.33 vs 1.08±0.37, P<0.05). The expression of PAK6 protein decreased by 72% in A549 cells transfected with siPAK6 (P<0.05), and the level of PAK6 mRNA significantly decreased in A549 cells transfected with siPAK6 (3.72±0.75 vs 0.69±0.21, P<0.05). Matrigel invasion assay and Transwell migration assay demonstrated that knockdown of PAK6 markedly attenuated the invasion and migration of A549 cells (P<0.05). The cytoskeletal actin remodeling and reduction of stress fibers in A549 cells transfected with siPAK6 were observed under confocal microscope. CONCLUSION：PAK6 may affect the invasive and migratory abilities of non-small-cell lung cancer cells by cytoskeletal actin remodeling.

Transplantation of bcl-2 gene-modified bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells improves cardiac function and angiogenesis in rabbit ischemic car-diac insufficiency model

AIM: To investigate the effects of transplantation of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) modified by bcl-2 gene on myocardial cell apoptosis, angiogenesis and cardiac function in the rabbit after acute myocardial infarction (MI).METHODS: The rabbit BMSCs were isolated, cultured and purified in vitro. The BMSCs were transfected with adenovirus or adenovirus-Bcl-2. The rabbit model of MI was established by ligation of left anterior descending branch. The rabbits were injected with Ad-Bcl-2-BMSCs (MI+Bcl-2-BMSCs group), Ad-BMSCs (MI+BMSCs group) and DMEM (MI group) in infarction marginal zone 2 weeks after ligation. The cardiac function was evaluated by echocardiography.The apoptosis of myocardial cells was measured by TUNEL. The mRNA expression of VEGF was detected by real-time PCR. The expression of CD31 was examined by immunohistochemical staining, and new blood capillaries were counted at 4 weeks after BMSCs transplantation. The correlation of the above values with cardiac function was analyzed.RESULTS: The cardiac function was better, the apoptotic rate was lower, the mRNA expression of VEGF and the capillary density were higher in both MI+Bcl-2-BMSCs group and the MI+BMSCs group than those in MI group, and those in MI+Bcl-2-BMSCs group increased more obviously.The left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) had a negative correlation with the myocardial cell apoptosis rate. A positive correlation with the mRNA expression level of VEGF and the capillary density was also observed.CONCLUSION: The transplantation of BMSCs modified by bcl-2 gene significantly reduces the myocardial cell apoptosis, promotes angiogenesis, improves heart function of the rabbits with MI.

Expression and significance of fgl2 in a model of rat coronary microthrombosis in situ

AIM: To explore the expression and significance of fibrinogen-like protein 2 prothrombinase/fibroleukin (fgl2) in a model of rat coronary microthrombosis. METHODS: Seventy-eight Sprague-Dawley male rats were randomly assigned to model group (n=36), sham operation group (n=36) for different time (1 h, 1 d, 1week, 2 weeks, 3 weeks, 4 weeks)(n=6, respectively), and normal control group (n=6). After closing aorta, sodium laurate was injected into aortic root of the animals in model group. The animals in sham operation group were injected with normal saline for control. Microthromb were detected with HE staining and modified martius-sarlet-blue stains (MMSB). von Willebrand factor (vWF) was measured with ELISA. fgl2 mRNA and protein expressions were detected by RT-PCR and immunohistochemistry staining, respectively. RESULTS: Microthromb were observed in rat coronary microvasculature. vWF was increased in plasma. fgl2 was induced in model group compared to sham operation group (P<0.05), no significant changes were observed in sham operation group and normal control group (P>0.05). CONCLUSION: The functional disorder of endothelial cells induces the expression of fgl2 in the coronary microvasculature. fgl2 prompts the thrombosis with platelet and fibrin.
