ABSTRACT

@#【Objective】 To explore the effects and the possible mechanism of RNA targeting membrane-bound prostaglandin E2 synthase l(mPGES- 1)on proliferation,apoptosis and drug resistance of leukemia cell line K562/A.【Methods】RNA interference was used to inhibit the expression of mPGES-1 of K562/A cells. Four groups were set up as follows:untreated group(K562/A),negative control group after interference(K562/A-NC),group after interference(K562/ A-KD),and group after interference with exogenous PGE2(K562/A-KD+PGE2).Cell viability was assessed by CCK-8 assay. Cell apoptosis was analyzed by flow cytometry. Concentration of PGE2 was detected by ELISA. Proteins expression was detected by western blot.【Results】The expression of mPGES- 1 in K562/A cells was significantly down- regulated and the synthesis of PGE2 decreased(P < 0.000 1)after RNA interference. After RNA interference,the proliferation of K562/A cells was inhibited and apoptosis increased,and the sensitivity to chemotherapy drugs was enhanced(P < 0.05). Meanwhile,the expression of β-catenin and MDR1 was decreased(P < 0.01). Exogenous PGE2 could reverse the effect of RNA interference on proliferation ,apoptosis and drug sensitivity in K562/A cells(P < 0.05),and up-regulate the expression of β-catenin and MDR1(P < 0.01). XAV939,an inhibitor of β-catenin,could down-regulate the expression of β- catenin and MDR1 in an dose- dependent pattern in K562/A cells(P < 0.05).【Conclusions】RNA interference of mPGES- 1 could inhibit proliferation,induce apoptosis and reverse drug resistance in K562/A cells. The mechanism was related to reducing the synthesis of PGE2 and thus down- regulating the expression of β- catenin and MDR1. Wnt/β- catenin signal pathway may participate in the regulation of MDR1 by mPGES-1/PGE2.

ABSTRACT

@#【Objective】To explore the effects and the possible mechanism of KPT- 8602,a novel selective inhibitor of nuclear export protein (XPO1),on proliferation,cell cycle and apoptosis in human histiocytic lymphoma cell line U937 cells.【Methods】U937 cells were treated with different concentrations of KPT- 8602. Cell viability was assessed by CCK-8 assay. The cell cycle distribution and the apoptosis rate were analyzed by flow cytometry. The proteins expression of XPO1,p-AKT,AKT,Cleaved Caspase-3,p21 were determined by Western blot. Fluorescence microscope was used in observing the intracellular location of XPO1. 【Results】 KPT- 8602 inhibited the growth of U937 cells in a dose- dependent(P<0.001)and time- dependent manner(P<0.001),but normal PBMC were unaffected. 48 h after treatment with KPT-8602,a higher proportion of cells in G1 phase was observed(P<0.001)and the apoptosis rate increased(P=0.016)with drug concentration in U937 cells. XPO1 protein expression of U937 cells was significantly higher than normal PBMC(P=0.003). 48 h after treatment with KPT- 8602,the protein expression of XPO1 decreased(P=0.011),p-AKT decreased(P=0.011),and Cleaved Caspase- 3 increased(P=0.009). In addition,the protein expression of p21,the cargo protein of XPO1,increased in both the nuclei and the cytoplasm(P<0.05)after treatment with KPT- 8602. XPO1 decreased in both the nuclei and the cytoplasm under the fluorescence microscope after treatment with KPT- 8602.【Conclusion】KPT- 8602 can inhibit the proliferation of U937 cells,block the cell cycle at G1 phase,and induce cell apoptosis,which may partially be attributed to the down-regulation of XPO1 and inhibition of PI3K/AKT signaling.

ABSTRACT

[Objective]Examine the expression of microsomal prostaglandin E synthase-1(mPGES-1)and nuclear transcription factor kappa B p65(NF-κB p65)in diffuse large B cell lymphoma(DLBCL),assessing their correlation with clinical variables,prognosis and potential clinical valve.[Methods]The immunohistochemistry was uesd to investigate the expression of mPGES-1 and NF-κB p65 in 83 DLBCL patiens'tissues.The relationship between these two proteins and the clinical variables and prognosis of these patients was evaluated.[Results]The high expression of mPGES-1 and NF-κB p65 were observed in 65.1%(54/83)and 73.5%(61/83)cases of DLBCL,respectively.The expression level of NF-κB p65 was positively correlated with mPGES-1 expression(P<0.05).The expression of these two proteins was found to be significantly associated with B cell lymphoma/leukemia-2 protein(BCL-2),higher expression of Ki67,higher lactate dehydrogenase (LDH),more extranodal lesions,advanced Ann Arbor stage and higher international prognostic index(IPI)score(P<0.05). In addition,NF-κB p65 was related with multiple myeloma oncogene 1(MUM1),pathological type(P<0.05). Both mPGES-1 and NF-κB p65 overexpression was correlated with worse overall survival(OS)while NF-κB p65 was an in-dependent prognostic factor for OS of DLBCL(P<0.05).[Conclusions]mPGES-1 and NF-κB p65 were highly expressed in DLBCL and closely linked with each other. The overexpression of mPGES-1 and NF-κB p65 was correlated with tumor progression and unfavorable prognosis in patients with DLBCL.

ABSTRACT

<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To investigate the effects of shRNA targeting mPGES-1 on tumorigenicity of human acute leukemia K562 cells in nude mice in vivo and its mechanisms.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>For experiment 3 groups including KD group(expression of mPGES-1 in K562 cells was down-regulated by shRNA), CON (cells without any treatment) and NC group (cells treated with nonspecific-sequence shRNA) were set-up. Western blot was used to test the expression of β-catenin and cyclinD1 in cells. Then the cells of 3 groups were implanted into BALB/c nude mice subcutaneously to establish murine xenograft model. The growth state of the mice and the size of the xenograft tumor were recorded. HE staining was used to observe the morphology of xenograft tumor. Expressions of β-catenin and cyclinD1 in xenograft tumor were detected by immunohistochemical staining.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>In vitro the expression of β-catenin and cyclinD1 in KD group were lower than the CON group and NC group (P<0.05). In vivo the tumor volume and weight of KD group were significant smaller than the other two groups (P<0.01). HE staining showed that tissues in the KD group were relatively looser in arrangement with smaller cell nucleus and less cytoplasm. The expression of β-catenin and cyclinD1 in the KD group were remarkable weak as compared with that in CON group and NC group (P<0.05).</p><p><b>CONCLUSION</b>Down-regulating the expression of mPGES-1 by shRNA may significantly inhibit the tumorigenicity of K562 cells in nude mice in vivo and its mechanism may be related with the inhibition of expression of β-catenin and cyclinD1.</p>

ABSTRACT

A variety of biomarkers have been identified in recent prospective and retrospective reports as being potentially predictive of venous thromboembolis (VTE), particularly idiopathic deep venous thrombosis (IDVT). This study identified a serum tumor biomarker for early screening of IDVT. A total of 128 IDVT patients (54 females and 74 males; average age: 50.9±17.4 years) were included. Carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA), ferritin, β2-microglobulin, cancer antigen (CA) 125, CA 15-3, CA 19-9, squamous cell carcinoma antigen (SCC), alpha-fetoprotein (AFP), prostate specific antigen (PSA), free PSA (f-PSA), and beta-human chorionic gonadotropin (β-HCG) in patients with IDVT were detected. Malignancies were histo- or cytopathologically confirmed. Of the 128 IDVT patients, 16 (12.5%) were found to have malignancies. Serum CEA, CA 125, CA 15-3, and CA 19-9 were found to be helpful for detecting malignancies in IDVT patients. Our study revealed a positive association between these markers and tumors in IDVT patients. On the other hand, SCC and AFP were not sensitive enough to be markers for detecting tumors in patients with IDVT. No significant differences were found in positive rates of ferritin and β2-microglobulin between tumor and non-tumor groups, and no significant difference exists in serum levels of ferritin and β2-microglobulin between the two groups. Carbohydrate antigens, CA 15-3 in particular, may be useful for differential diagnosis and prediction of malignancies in patients with IDVT.

ABSTRACT

To investigate the effect of a microsomal prostaglandin E synthase-1 (mPGES-1) inhibitor MK886 on cell cycle of the human acute myeloid leukemia HL-60 cells. HL-60 cells were treated with different concentration of MK886 (10, 25, 50 µmol/L) for 24 h. Flow cytometry, Western blot and ELISA were used to measure cell cycle, cyclin D1, mPGES-1, PGE(2), Akt, P-Akt and C-MYC. The results indicated that after treated with MK886, the percentage of HL-60 cells decreased in G(0)/G(1) phase and increased in S phase, and expressions of mPGES-1, cyclin D1, P-Akt and C-MYC and synthesis of PGE(2) decreased significantly. It is concluded that MK886 can arrest HL-60 cells in G(0)/G(1) phase, the mechanism of which is possibly associated to inhibition of mPGES-1 expression, reduction of PGE(2) synthesis, suppression of Akt phosphorylation and C-MYC expression, down-regulation of cyclin D1 expression.

ABSTRACT

This study was aimed to investigate the effect of MK886, a mPGES-1 inhibitor, on apoptosis and drug resistance of leukemia HL-60/A cell line. Expression of mPGES-1 was assayed by QT-PCR and Western blot. The effect of MK886 on HL-60/A cell proliferation was assayed by CCK-8 method, and flow cytometry was used to detect cell apoptosis. The expression of Akt and P-Akt was detected by Western blot. PGE2 was measured by ELISA. Effect of MK886 (10 µmol/L) on the chemotherapeutic sensitivity of HL-60/A cells and expression of mdr-1 mRNA and P170 protein were investigated too. The results indicated the expression of mPGES-1 was higher in HL-60/A cells. MK886 inhibited HL-60/A cell proliferation and induced apoptosis in a time- and concentration-dependent manner. Expression of mPGES-1 and P-Akt and synthesis of PGE2 decreased significantly. MK886 reduced expression of mdr-1 and P170 protein and enhanced the sensitivity of HL-60/A cells to chemotherapeutic drugs. It is concluded that MK886 can inhibit HL-60/A cell proliferation, induce apoptosis and enhance sensitivity to chemotherapeutic drugs, the mechanism of which possibly associates to down-regulation of mPGES-1/PGE2 synthesis, reduction P-Akt expression and decreasing mdr-1 and P170 protein expression.

ABSTRACT

To observe the expression of cyclin D1, hTERT, and telomerase activity in MNC, HL-60, HL-60A and to explore their effects on leukemogenesis and drug-resistance, normal human peripheral blood mononuclear cells, HL-60 cells sensitive to adriamycin and HL-60A cells resistant to adriamycin were investigated. The cell cycle was analyzed by flow cytometry, and the apoptosis was analyzed by Annexin V-FITC(+) PI staining. Expressions of cyclin D1 and hTERT were determined by real-time PCR and Western blot. Telomerase activity was detected by TRAP-ELISA. The results indicated that the percentage of MNC, HL-60 and HL-60A in S phase was (10.21 + 2.11)%, (44.93 + 3.00)%, and (51.38 + 1.10)% respectively; the percentage of apoptosis cells was (16.14 + 2.13)%, (7.53 + 0.92)%, (4.15 + 0.96)% respectively; the expression of mRNA and protein for cyclin D1 and hTERT increased; the telomerase activities of HL-60 and HL-60A were higher (p = 0.000), whereas the difference between HL-60 and HL-60A was no statistically significant (p = 0.232); positive correlation between cyclin D1, hTERT and telomerase activity had been found (p < 0.01). It is concluded that the cells of S phase increased while the apoptotic cells decreased in HL-60 and HL-60A, especially in HL-60A, which may be due to the up-regulation of cyclin D1, hTERT and telomerase activity.

ABSTRACT

<p><b>BACKGROUND</b>Ahmed glaucoma valves (AGV) has been used for decades, but there is no detailed report about the efficacy of AGV in Chinese glaucoma patients. This study aimed to compare the intraocular pressure (IOP) lowering efficacy and side effects of S-2 polypropylene and PF-7 silicone AGV implantation in Chinese refractory glaucoma patients.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>Patients were divided into S-2 model AGV group and FP-7 model AGV group. The complete and qualified surgical success rate, change of IOP, number of anti-glaucoma medications used and postoperative complications were recorded and analyzed.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>Average follow-up time was comparable between two groups. IOP was reduced from (37.9 ± 12.7) mmHg preoperatively to (17.3 ± 5.3) mmHg at the last follow-up in S-2 group and reduced from (39.9 ± 14.4) mmHg to (17.7 ± 4.9) mmHg in FP-7 group. Anti-glaucoma medications were reduced from 3.8 ± 0.2 to 1.5 ± 0.2 in S-2 group, and 3.5 ± 0.2 to 0.7 ± 0.2 in FP-7 groups. The cumulative success rates were comparable in two groups, which were 61.2% and 72.1% in S-2 group and FP-7 group respectively. When IOP reduction criteria was used, complete success rates were 30.6% and 51.2% for S-2 and FP-7 groups, and qualified success rates were 86.1% and 92.7% separately. In both groups, the major complication was hypotony, and the previous trabeculectomy of patients was the major risk factor for surgery failure.</p><p><b>CONCLUSIONS</b>In this short-term retrospective study, S-2 AGV is showed at least as effective as FP-7 AGV in IOP reduction, but associated with higher rate of complications. Previous trabeculectomy is a principle risk factor for AGV implantation failure. These clinical outcomes are important for converting use of the FP-7 silicon AGV in Chinese refractory glaucoma patients.</p>

ABSTRACT

This study was aimed to clarify whether valproic acid (VPA) induces apoptosis of leukemia HL-60 cell line and its possible mechanism. The effect of different concentrations and treatment time of VPA on HL-60 cell proliferation was assayed by cytotoxicity test (CCK-8 method) and fluorescence microscopy, and flow cytometry was used to detect cell apoptosis. The expressions of telomerase subunit h-tert mRNA and apoptosis-related protein as well as caspase-3 activity were detected by real time-quantitative PCR, Western blot and ELISA respectively. The results indicated that VPA inhibited proliferation of HL-60 cells and induced cell apoptosis in a dose dependent manner (r = -0.87). The expressions of anti-apoptotic protein BCL-2 and h-tert mRNA were significantly decreased while the pro-apoptotic protein BAX and caspase-3 activity increased after treatment with VPA. The apoptosis rate of HL-60 cell was negatively correlated with expression of h-tert mRNA. It is concluded that VPA can inhibit leukemia HL-60 cell proliferation and induce apoptosis. The VPA displays anti-leukemia activity possibly through reducing h-tert mRNA and BCL-2 protein expression, increasing BAX expression and activity of caspase-3.

ABSTRACT

<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To investigate the effect of valproic acid on the expression of P27(Kip1) and P170 and drug resistance of leukemia HL60/HT cell line and explore its possible mechanisms.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>HL-60/HT cells were derived from HL-60 cells induced by harringtonine (HT) in gradient concentrations. The inhibitory effect of valproic acid on the proliferation of HL-60 and HL-60/HT cells was evaluated by MTT assay, and the P27(Kip1) expression, P170 expression and cell cycle of the cells were analyzed with flow cytometry.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>The multidrug-resistant HL-60/HT was acquired, which showed a stable drug-resistant index with increased IC(50) of HT, VCR, DNR and Ara-c by 9.30, 5.20, 4.91 and 3.65 folds, respectively, as compared with those of HL60 cells. The expression of P27(Kip1) in HL-60/HT cells was significantly lower but P170 expression significantly higher than that of HL-60 cells and normal mononuclear cells (P<0.05). The expressions of P27(Kip1) and P170 showed no significant difference between normal mononuclear cells and HL-60 cells. The growth inhibition rate of VPA combined with Ara-C was significantly higher than that of valproic acid or Ara-C alone in HL-60/HT cells and HL-60 cells (q=1.37 and 1.51, respectively). HL-60/HT and HL-60 cells cultured in the presence of VPA resulted in a significant increase in the expression of P27(Kip1) and the G(1)-phase cells (P<0.05), but the expression of P170 underwent no significant changes (P>0.05).</p><p><b>CONCLUSION</b>HL-60/HT cells have lower P27(Kip1) expression compared with HL-60 cells. Valproic acid can inhibit the growth of HL-60/HT cells and enhance their Ara-C sensitivity possibly by increasing P27(Kip1) expression and causing cell cycle arrest in G(1) phase.</p>

ABSTRACT

<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To observe the effects of pravastatin on platelet-derived nitric oxide system in hypercholesterolemia (HC) and atherosclerosis (AS) in rabbits, and the relationship between these changes and atherosclerosis courses.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>Thirty male New Zealand white rabbits were randomly divided into three groups, 12 in group A, 12 in group B, and 6 in group C. All of them were fed daily with cholesterol-rich food during the first 12 weeks. In addition, in group A, pravastatin (10 mg) was orally administered daily. At the end of the 12th week, 6 in group A and B were killed randomly and their aortas were removed and the pathologic changes were observed. In the following 12 weeks, food enriched with cholesterol was substituted with normal food in all three groups. Pravastatin treatment was continued or started in the remaining members of group A and group B, but not in group C. At the end 24th week, all rabbits were killed and their aortas were examined for the fatty-streaks or atherosclerotic plaques. The expressions of endothelial NOS (eNOS) mRNA and inducible NOS (iNOS ) mRNA, NOS activity, NO production and the level of the serum lipids were measured at 0, 6th, 12th, 18th and 24th week.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>The expression levels of platelet-derived NOS mRNA, eNOS mRNA ratio in group A had no difference at above time points, while in group B were reduced significantly at 6th week and 12th week compared with at 0 week (P <0.01), and increased at 18th week and 24th week compared with 12th week (P <0.05). The expression levels of eNOS mRNA in group C were reduced at 6th, 12th and 18th, 24th week compared with 0 week (P <0.05 and P <0.01, respectively), and were reduced in groups B and C compared with group A at 6th ,12th week (P < 0.05) and increased in group A and B compared with group C at 18th, 24th week (P <0.01). The expression levels of iNOS/mRNA among the three groups had no difference. Pathologic finding of the arteries: AS was not found in group A from the 12th to 24th week. While in group B, there were a lot of fatty-streaks on the entire intima of all large arteries at the 12th week. There were also fatty-streaks in the ascending aorta, but were improved at the 24th week. In group C, there were marked plaques in the entire aorta at the 24th week.</p><p><b>CONCLUSIONS</b>The expressions of platelet-derived eNOS mRNA, NOS activity, NO production are decreased in HC or AS rabbits. Pravastatin can up-regulate expressions of platelet-derived eNOS mRNA, NOS activity, leading to preventing or improving the pathological courses of AS.</p>

ABSTRACT

<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To explore the effects of chloride channels on the regulation of platelet cytoplasmic free calcium concentration ([Ca2+]i) and platelet aggregation (PAG).</p><p><b>METHODS</b>Freshly separated platelets were activated by thrombin. Chloride channel blockers DIDS or NFA and calcium channel blockers SK&F96365 or nifedipine were added to study the effects on platelet [Ca2+]i and PAG by a single reagent or the combination of reagents and find out the interactions among DIDS, NFA, SK&F96365 and nifedipine.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>Both DIDS and NFA could inhibit the thrombin (1 U/ml) induced PAG in a dose-dependent manner, whereas had little effect on resting [Ca2+]i. As compared with the control group, DIDS, SK&F96365 and Nifedipine could significantly reduce the PAG, Ca2+ release and Ca2+ influx in thrombin activated platelet (P < 0.05). The combination of DIDS and SK&F96365 had greater effects in reducing the PAG, Ca2+ release and Ca2+ influx than either reagent alone (P < 0.05). The combination of DIDS and nifedipine also had greater effect than each alone in reducing Ca2+ release (P < 0.05). The combination of NFA and SK&F96365 weakened each other's effect on Ca2+ release (P < 0.05), while NFA and nifedipine weakened each other's effects on PAG, Ca2+ release and Ca2+ influx in thrombin activated platelet (P < 0.05).</p><p><b>CONCLUSION</b>DIDS and NFA have no effect on the resting [Ca2+]i and the leak calcium influx of platelet. DIDS can inhibit the Ca2+ release, Ca2+ influx and PAG of platelet induced by thrombin, while NFA can only inhibit the Ca2+ release. The chloride channel and calcium channel blockers have interactions in affecting resting [Ca2+]i and PAG of platelet. The opening of chloride channel can influence the cellular calcium movement of platelet.</p>
