ABSTRACT

Objective: To study the effects of deguelin on proliferation and apoptosis of human breast cancer cell line MCF-7 and on phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase/protein kinase B (PI3K/Akt) signaling pathway. Methods: After treatment with 0, 1, 5, 10, 15 and 20 μmol/L of deguelin for 6, 24, 48 and 72 hours, the proliferation inhibition rate of MCF-7 cells was measured by cell counting kit-8 assay. Apoptosis rate of MCF-7 cells was detected with Annexin V-fluorescein isothiocyanate/propidium iodide double staining by flow cytometry and the apoptotic morphology was observed under a transmission electron microscope. After treatment with 0, 1 and 5 μmol/L of deguelin for 6 hours, 5 proteins involved in the PI3K/Akt signaling pathway were examined by Western blot analysis. Results: Deguelin at doses of 5, 10, 15 and 20 μmol/L inhibited the proliferation of MCF-7 cells at 6, 24, 48 and 72 hours. There was a significant difference in each group compared with the control group (P0.05). Deguelin at doses of 5, 10, 15 and 20 μmol/L induced apoptosis of MCF-7 cells at 6 hours. There were significant differences (P<0.01) in the early and late apoptosis rate between the treated groups and the control group. The typical apoptotic MCF-7 cells were observed under the transmission electron microscopy. However, 1 μmol/L of deguelin had no apparent effect in inducing apoptosis of MCF-7 cells at 6 hours. After treatment with 5 μmol/L of deguelin for 6 hours the expression of phosphorylated phosphatase and tensin homologue deleted on chromosome 10 (PTEN) (Ser380), phosphorylated 3-phosphoinositide-dependent protein kinase 1 (PDK1) (Ser241), phosphorylated Akt (Thr308) and phosphorylated glycogen synthase kinase-3β (GSK-3β) (Ser9) proteins were significantly reduced in MCF-7 cells, while there was no significant change in the expression of total Akt protein. However, after treatment with 1 μmol/L of deguelin for 6 hours, there was no apparent change in the expression of these 5 proteins. Conclusion: Deguelin can inhibit the phosphorylation of GSK-3β (Ser9) via inhibition of the phosphorylation of PTEN (Ser380) and PDK1 (Ser241) pathway, thus inducing apoptosis and inhibiting proliferation of MCF-7 cells.

ABSTRACT

Galectins can recognize and specifically bind to β-galactosidase,and regulate the transformation and survival of tumor cells,and promote the migration and metastasis of tumor cells,etc.Galectins correlate with tumor diagnosis,progression and prognosis.Galectias also can serve as immunoregulatory molecules to regulate the survival,activation,proliferation and differentiation of immune cells,and are components of tumor immune microenvironment.

ABSTRACT

Objective:To establish a method for isolating tumor infiltrating dendritic cells(TIDC)from mice models of Lewis lung cancer by positive selection using anti-CD11c magnetic beads.Methods:A total of 1.0?10~6 Lewis lung cancer cells were subcutaneously injected into a C57BL/6 mice at the lateral abdominal wall to establish the mouse model of lung cancer.TIDC were isolated positively using anti-mouse CD11c magnetic beads;they were labeled by anti-mouse CD11c,and then the purity of the isolated cells was tested by FACScan flow cytometer.The cells were also double labeled by PE-conjugated MHC-ⅡmAb and FITC-conjugated CD83 mAb or FITC-conjugated CD86 mAb to analyze the phenotype of cells by FACScan flow cytometer.Results:The positive selection using anti-CD11 c magnetic beads isolated(1.73?0.31)?10~6 TIDC from each gram of Lewis lung cancer tissue,which accounted for(2.18?0.29)%of the cells in the tumor tissues.The purity of TIDC was 96.49%.Electron microscope showed that the isolated TIDC had the typical character of DC cells.The positive rates of MHC-Ⅱ,CD83 and CD86 molecules in TIDC surface were(51.25?4.21)%, (3.48?0.34)%and(3.07?0.65)%,respectively.Conclusion:The positive selection using anti-CD11c magnetic beads is highly effective,simple,and economic,and is worth popularizing.
