ABSTRACT

This study was aimed at clarification of the function of EGF(1) segment in rat coagulation factor VII with tissue factor (TF) by means of the expression of the fusion protein of EGFP-EGF(1). The DNA fragment encoding EGF(1) was amplified from a rat liver tissue by RT-PCR, and then inserted in an EGFP-procaryotic expression vector to construct the recombinant plasmid pET28a-EGFP-EGF(1) which was introduced into the competent cells of E.coli BL21, then an engineering bacteria strain was obtained which was induced by IPTG to express the fusion protein of EGFP-EGF(1). The fusion protein was purified by chromatography on Ni column, and then acted on the rat hemangioendotheliocytes stimulated with LPS to express TF; the binding of the fusion protein to the hemangioendotheliocytes was detected by means of fluorescence microscopy and flow cytometry. The results indicated that EGFP-EGF(1) was highly expressed in the engineering E.coli strain, and successfully purified, and its molecular mass was confirmed as 36 kD by SDS-PAGE. Fluorescence microscopy and flow cytometry had shown that this fusion protein can bind with the TF on the hemangioendotheliocytes. It is concluded that the EGF(1) region of rat coagulation factor can mediate the specific binding of FVII with TF, so as to lay partly the basis for molecular targeting anti-thrombotic therapy.

ABSTRACT

The aim of this study was to investigate the gene expression profiles of acute promyelocytic leukemia (APL) cell line NB4 treated with arsenic trioxide (As2O3) by using cDNA microarray. cDNA probes were prepared through reverse transcription from mRNA of NB4 cells treated with or without arsenic trioxide. The probes were labeled with Cy3 and Cy5 fluorescence dyes individually, hybridized with cDNA microarray representing 201 different human genes, and their fluorescent intensities were scanned. The genes were screened through the analysis of the difference in the gene expression profile. The results showed that after the treatment of arsenic trioxide (2 micromol/L), 6 genes were up-regulated, and 12 genes related to apoptosis and signal transduction were down-regulated. The p21, survivin, cdc2 and Wee1Hu genes may be related to the differentiation and/or apoptosis of NB4 cells induced by As2O3. It is concluded that p21, survivin, cdc2 and Wee1Hu may play an important role in the mechanism underling arsenic trioxide-mediated NB4 cell apoptosis.

ABSTRACT

<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To explore the role of PTEN gene in the regulation of tissue factor (TF) expression in human neuroblastoma cells.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>Expression of PTEN or TF was determined by Western blotting. Transcription of TF was examined by RT-PCR. PTEN gene expressing vector pCMV-PTEN was transfected with Lipofectamine2000. Phosphorylation of AKT was inhibited by LY294002 and then examined by Western blotting.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>Human neuroblastoma cell line SK-N-SH was PTEN-positive and expressed low level TF, whereas an other neuroblastoma cell line SK-N-MC was PTEN-negative but expressed high level TF. TF level was downregulated in SK-N-MC cells by enforced expression of PTEN in a dose dependent manner. Inhibition of TF was achieved along with inactivation of AKT. Furthermore treatment with PI3K/AKT inhibitor LY294002 also resulted in decrease of TF expression in a dose-dependent manner.</p><p><b>CONCLUSION</b>Expression of TF is inhibited by PTEN gene via inactivating PI3K/AKT pathway, loss of PTEN might be the explanation of aberrant high-level TF in human neuroblastoma. It may be at least one of the mechanisms by which loss of PTEN expression confers to cancer progression.</p>

ABSTRACT

To investigate the effect of arsenic trioxide (As(2)O(3)) or all-trans retinoic acid (ATRA) on the mRNA and protein expression of tissue factor (TF) and thrombomodulin (TM) and procoagulant activity (PCA) in NB4 cells. The NB4 cells were cultured in vitro and treated with As(2)O(3) or ATRA, expression of TF and TM antigen, and PCA change of treated NB4 cells were detected with ELISA, TF and TM mRNA transcription on the NB4 cells was assayed with reversed transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR). The results showed that 1 micromol/L As(2)O(3) and 1 micromol/L ATRA both gradually downregulated the expression of TF antigen and mRNA on NB4 cells, a human promyelocytic leukemia cell line, in time-dependent manner, as compared with control. The levels of TF antigen expression in AS(2)O(3) group were 13.3 +/- 1.8, 8.6 +/- 1.9, 10.8 +/- 1.5, 2.0 +/- 0.6 and 2.6 +/- 0.9 ng/10(7) respectively; while the levels of TF antigen expression in ATRA group were 12.4 +/- 1.1, 11.3 +/- 1.8, 5.7 +/- 1.7, 2.8 +/- 0.8 and 2.0 +/- 0.6 ng/10(7) at 24, 48, 72, 96 and 120 hours respectively (P<0.05). The procoagulant activity (PCA) of NB4 cells was decreased, blood coagulation times were 123.5 +/- 10.5, 156.3 +/- 11.6, 179.3 +/- 15.3, 248.9 +/- 20.1, 312.0 +/- 29.8 seconds in As(2)O(3) groups, respectively; 76.4 +/- 5.6, 146.8 +/- 10.9, 198.2 +/- 15.6, 265.8 +/- 20.6 and 363.8 +/- 31.9 seconds in ATRA groups respectively at 24, 48, 72, 96 and 120 hours (P<0.05). ATRA upregulated TM antigen expression on NB4 cells. It is concluded that the As(2)O(3) and ATRA decrease mRNA transcription of TF, downregulate expression of TF and reduce procoagulant activity in NB4 cells. The TM transcription and expression upregulated by ATRA may alleviate dysfunction of coagulation in APL.

ABSTRACT

To investigate the role of anti-inflammatory cytokine in acute coronary syndrome (ACS), the effect of IL-10 on expression of tissue factor (TF) induced by IL-6 in peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMNC) were studied. PBMNC were allowed to culture with rhIL-10 before being stimulated by rhIL-6. One-step recalcification clotting time was used to evaluate procoagulant activity (PCA) of PBMNC. The expression and activity of TF protein were determined by ELISA and cell chromogenic substrate assay. The results showed that the expression of PCA, TF protein and its activity in PBMNC increased significantly after being stimulated by rhIL-6 (P < 0.01). In PBMNC, rhIL-6-induced PCA was regulated by rhIL-10 in different doses. This effect was associated with reduction of TF protein expression and activity by rhIL-10 (P < 0.01). In conclusion, IL-10 down-regulated expression PCA and TF in PBMNC, inhibitory effect of IL-10 on expression and activity of PBMNC TF may be important protective mechanism for ACS, regulation imbalance between inflammatory and anti-inflammatory cytokines may be important factor participating in coronary thrombosis.

ABSTRACT

In order to investigate the expression of brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) and vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) in multiple myeloma patients and the in vitro and in vivo proangiogenic effects of BDNF, the plasma concentrations of BDNF and VEGF in MM patients and control group were determined by ELISA, the effect of BDNF on the in vitro proliferation of human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVEC) was examined by MTT assay; the effects of BDNF on HUVEC migration and tube formation were studied by modified Boyden chamber assay and tube formation assay, respectively. Matrigel plug assay and chorioallantoic membrane assay were used to evaluate the effect of BDNF on angiogenesis in vivo. The results demonstrated that the concentration of BDNF was (4.22 +/- 0.64) ng/ml and (2.03 +/- 0.38) ng/ml in MM group and control group, respectively, (P = 0.01). There was also a significant difference between VEGF levels of two groups [(79.35 +/- 13.25) pg/ml vs (34.41 +/- 1.78) pg/ml, P = 0.006]. The levels of BDNF and VEGF correlated significantly (r = 0.430, P = 0.025). BDNF stimulated the migration and tube formation in vitro significantly, although it had no effect on the proliferation of HUVEC. BDNF also stimulated angiogenesis both in matrigel plug of mouse model and in chick chorioallantoic membrane. It is concluded that the concentrations of BDNF and VEGF in MM patients' peripheral blood are at high level; BDNF can stimulate the angiogenesis markedly in vitro and in vivo. Therefore, BDNF may act as an important regulator in angiogenesis of MM.

ABSTRACT

<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To investigate a new strategy of polylactic acid (PLA) nanoparticles delivery system coating nuclear factor-kappaB (NF-kappaB) decoy oligonucleotides (ODNs) for inhibiting TF expression in cultured brain microvascular endothelial cells(BMECs).</p><p><b>METHODS</b>PLA nanoparticles coating FITC-labeled NF-kappaB decoy ODNs were formulated by nano-deposition method and the characteristics of nanoparticles were detected. BMECs were isolated and cultured in vitro. The cellular uptake and intracellular localization of nanoparticles in BMECs was detected by flow cytometry and confocal microscopy. Changes in the expressions of TF and nuclear protein P65 were examined by RT-PCR and Western blot in NF-kappaB decoy ODNs transfected BMECs by LPS stimulation.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>The decoy-nanoparticles obtained were uniform spherical particles with an effective diameter of 162.1 nm and a polydispersity index of 0.118. NF-kappaB decoy ODNs encapsulated in nanoparticles could be released in a controlled manner in phosphate-buffered saline for up to 28 days. It was observed that the cellular uptake of nanoparticles were increased with the time of incubation and the concentration of nanoparticles in the medium. Nanoparticles localized mainly in the BMECs cytoplasm. LPS-induced upregulation of TF transcription was inhibited by NF-kappaB decoy ODNs transfection but not by missense ODNs transfection. Furthermore, changes in the transcription level of TF were paralleled by a reduction of capacity of P65 in nuclear extract of NF-kappaB decoy ODNs transfected cells.</p><p><b>CONCLUSIONS</b>These findings offer a potential therapeutic strategy in the control of TF expression in BMECs in vitro.</p>

ABSTRACT

This study was aimed to investigate coagulation factor VII level in uremic patients with chronic renal failure and to explore theirs influence factors. The plasma levels of coagulation factor VII were detected in 30 uremic patients with chronic renal failure before and after hemodialysis for 1 month, the factor VII activity (FVII:C) was determined by one-stage coagulation method, while activated factor VII (FVIIa) was measured by one-stage coagulation method using recombinant soluble tissue factor, and factor VII antigen was detected by ELISA. The results showed that: (1) The FVIIa, FVII:C and FVIIAg levels in chronic uremic patients before hemodialysis were 4.00 +/- 0.86 microg/L, (148.5 +/- 40.4)% and (99.8 +/- 21.1)% respectively, which were significantly increased, as compared with healthy controls [2.77 +/- 1.02 microg/L, (113.1 +/- 33.0)% and (73.7 +/- 18.3)% respectively, P < 0.05]. (2) After hemodialysis the FVIIa, FVII:C and FVIIAg levels in uremic patients significantly enhanced to 5.56 +/- 1.45 microg/L, (200.8 +/- 68.7)% and (124.1 +/- 19.3)% respectively (P < 0.05). (3) The abnormal increase of coagulation factor VII was positively correlated with levels of blood uria nitrogen and serum creatinine before hemodialysis but not after hemodialysis. It is concluded that the enhanced levels of coagulation factor VII in chronic uremic patients suggested abnormal activated state, herperactivity and elevated production of factor VII which correlated with renal functional injury. The abnormality of factor VII in uremia may be aggravated by hemodialysis. Coagulation factor (FVII) may be a risk factor for cardiovascular events in uremic patients who especially had been accepted long-term hemodialysis.

ABSTRACT

The objective of this study is to investigate the effect of vaccination with dendritic cells pulsed with survivin antigen on activation of antileukemic T cells, and inhibiting proliferation of leukemic cells. The expression of survivin on acute leukemic cells were detected by cofocal microscopy and immunoprecipitation-Western blot. DCs collected from peripheral blood mononuclear cells were pulsed with survivin purified proteins. Stimulation index (SI) and antileukemia CTL induction were analyzed with (3)H-TdR incorporation and (51)Cr releasing assay, respectively. The phenotype of T cells and DCs were identified by flow cytometry. By immunofluorescence of bone marrow and peripheral blood mononuclear cells, survivin expression was detected in 16 out of 19 AML cases (84.2%). The results showed that survivin fluorescence distribution was in cytoplasm. DCs from peripheral blood mononuclear cells were successfully induced, with typical DC morphologic characteristic. The vaccination with dendritic cells pulsed with survivin antigen dramatically stimulated the proliferation of T cells. The DCs loading survivin activated T cells with higher CD4(+) T(H) ratio as compared with DCs group, T cells activated with DCs expressed CD8 and CD56. Survivin DCs significantly inhibited the growth of leukemic cells in vitro. In conclusion, survivin antigen expressed in the cytoplasm of leukemic cells, leukemic vaccination with DCs pulsed with survivin antigen in vitro inhibited the proliferation of leukemic cells, that may be a pathway for therapy of leukemia.

ABSTRACT

The aim was to construct the expressive vector of human tissue factor (TF), and determine its expressive level in stable-transfected human ovarian cancer cell line. The human TFcDNA was obtained from human placenta by RT-PCR and then inserted into eukaryotic expressive vector pcDNA3 to obtain the TF-pcDNA3 recombinant. This recombinant gene was introduced into human ovarian cell line A2780 through transfection mediated by lipofectamine. Stable-transfected cells were screened by G418. The TF expressive levels were detected by RT-PCR and flow cytometry. The results showed that: (1) the constructed product was identified as TF-pcDNA3 recombinant by sequencing. (2) TF was highly expressed not only at transcriptional level in the stable-transfected A2780 cell (transfected cell 3.99 +/- 0.15, untransfected cell 0.97 +/- 0.23, P < 0.01), but also on the membrane of the cell surface [transfected cell (48.56 +/- 9.53)%, untransfected cell (2.73 +/- 1.15)%, P < 0.01]. It was concluded that TF gene was successfully cloned, and was introduced into human ovarian cancer cell, and the subline A2780/TF which stably expresses TF at high level was obtained. It will provide good experimental basis for investigating new mechanisms of tumor growth, invasion, metastasis, hypercoagulability, and for exploring a new strategy of gene therapy.

ABSTRACT

The study was designed to investigate annexin II resulting in molecular pathological mechanism of the primary fibrinolysis and establish annexin II vector model for further research on disturbance of coagulation. A target gene was amplified from human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVEC) by RT-PCR. Annexin II gene fragment was purified and ligated with molecular biological recombinant technology. The recombinant of plasmid annexin II was transfected into HL-60 cells and its distribution in the cell and structure characteristics of annexin II protein were evaluated by multi-photon excitation laser scanning microscope. By means of flow cytometry (FCM) and Werstern blot technique, the protein expression was qualitatively and quantitatively analyzed. Transfected cells were treated in vitro with annexin II antisense oligonucleotide (AS) targeting to the start site of annexin II cDNA. The results showed that the recombinant pZeoSV2(+)/ANN II was constructed successfully and expressed in HL-60 cells. The protein expression was distributed on the surface of cell by fluorescence assay. After transfection for 48 hours, the cells occurred higher level of expression. The level of the plasmin was significantly enhanced in the present of annexin II. The FCM and Western blot analysis showed the annexin II expression was similar both in transiently and stably transfected in HL-60 cells. Annexin II antisense oligonucletide and McAb significantly inhibited the activity of plasminogen. It was concluded that annexin II plays an important role in the fibrinotysis. Annexin II vector was defined as a expression tool for further studying fibrinolysis and coagulopathy in malignant disease.
