Effects of isorhapontigenin on cell cycle arrest and down-regulation of cyclin D1 expression in bladder cancer cells

AIM：To explore the inhibitory mechanism of isorhapontigenin (ISO) on the proliferation, migration and invasion of UMUC3 bladder cancer cells. METHODS：Human UMUC3 bladder cancer cells were pretreated with ISO, and the proliferation of the cells was observed under phase-contrast microscope and by ATPase assay. The expression of cyclin D1 was determined by RT-PCR and Western blotting. The cell cycle alteration was detected by flow cytometry, and the cell migration was examined by wound-healing assay. RESULTS：Over 20 μmol/L of ISO significantly inhibited the proliferation of UMUC3 cells with the IC50 of (22.5±2.8) μmol/L. The mRNA and protein levels of cyclin D1 in UMUC3 cells were markedly decreased after treatment with ISO. Exposure of UMUC3 cells to low dose (5 μmol/L) of ISO led to significant induction of G0/G1 growth arrest at both 12 h (58.82%) and 24 h (63.94%), compared with the negative control cells (47.33%) without inducing obvious apoptosis. ISO at dose of 5 μmol/L also markedly inhibited the cell migration. CONCLUSION：ISO significantly exhibits inhibitory effects on the proliferation and migration of human bladder cancer cells by down-regulation of cyclin D1 expression accompanying with G0/G1 cell cycle arrest.

芸薹种作物抽薹相关基因BrFLC1的CAPS标记

以16份芸薹种作物DH系为试材,通过人工春化处理对其抽薹性状进行了鉴定,明确了材料间抽薹早晚存在显著差异;根据BrFLC1基因序列设计引物进行PCR扩增发现,所有16份材料均获得980 bp的片段。多序列比对与抽薹性的关联分析发现,材料的抽薹早晚与扩增片段的碱基变异相关联,并发现关联位点的碱基变异为限制性内切酶Mva I的识别位点;利用该酶对PCR产物酶切可以将材料明显区分开来,从而建立了BrFLC1基因的CAPS标记（命名为G-Mva I）。利用此标记对96份芸薹种作物DH材料的验证表明,该基因的分子标记结果与抽薹时间表型显著相关,用该标记可以进行分子标记辅助选择。     

Promoting angiogenesis of protein kinase D1 in vitro and in vivo

AIM: To explore the effect of protein kinase D1 (PKD1) on promoting angiogenesis in vitro and in vivo, and to furnish a new idea on targeting PKD1 for the treatment of ischemic heart disease such as myocardial infarction. METHODS: The culture, isolation and identification of endothelial progenitor cells (EPCs) were performed in vitro. The effects of PKD1 and its specific blocking agent CID755673 on expression levels of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and kinase insert domain receptor (KDR) in EPCs were determined. The rat model of myocardial infarction was established, the intervention effects of PKD1 and CID755673 on morphology, changes of microvessels and endothelial cells, and the expression of VEGF and KDR in the impaired myocardial tissue were analyzed. RESULTS: PKD1 significantly upregulated the expression of VEGF and KDR in EPCs in vitro. Meanwhile, the structure of myocardial tissue was more regular and clear, the cytomembrane of endothelial cells were more smooth and integrity, the pericytes were visible, and the expression of VEGF and KDR was significantly increased in PKD1 treatment group in vivo.CONCLUSION: PKD1 has the ability of angiogenesis obviously, which might be mediated by VEGF.

Soluble Klotho protein suppresses THP-1-derived foam cell formation

AIMTo investigate the role of soluble Klotho protein in THP-1-derived foam cell formation. METHODSTHP-1 monocytes were induced into macrophages by treatment with 160 nmol/L phorbol myristate acetate for 48 h, and then were divided into 6 groups: negative control group (THP-1-derived macrophages), positive control group [THP-1-derived foam cells induced by oxidized low-density lipoprotein (ox-LDL) for 48 h], and 25, 50, 100 and 200 μg/L soluble Klotho protein groups (THP-1-derived macrophages pretreated with soluble Klotho protein at the indicat?ed concentraions for 2 h and then induced by ox-LDL for 48 h). Lipid droplets in cytoplasm were observed by oil red O staining. The cholesterol outflow rate was detected by scintillation counting technique. The content of intracellular total cholesterol, free cholesterol and cholesterol ester was detected by enzyme fluorescence analysis. The expression of acyl-coenzyme A:cholesterol acyltransferase 1 （ACAT1） and ATP-binding cassette transport?er A1 (ABCA1) at mRNA and protein levels was determined by RT-qPCR and Western blot, respectively. RESULTSOil red O staining and lipid mass quantification showed that THP-1-derived foam cell formation was dose-dependently suppressed by soluble Klotho protein. The cholesterol efflux rate of THP-1-derived foam cells was increased by soluble Klotho protein in a dose-dependent manner (P<0.05). In addition, soluble Klotho protein decreased the expression of ACAT1 and increased the expression of ABCA1 in a dose-dependent manner (P<0.05). CONCLUSION The soluble Klotho protein inhibits THP-1-derived foam cell formation in a dose-dependent manner by down-regulating the expression of ACAT1 and up-regulating the expression of ABCA1.
