ABSTRACT

Aim To investigate the protective roles of sonic hedgehog( Shh) signaling pathway in hypoxia-in-duced DNA damage with the neonatal rat cardiomyo-cytes. Methods The hypoxia model on neonatal car-diomyocytes was established with one to two days old Sprague Dawley rats by deprivation of oxygen and glu-cose ( OGD) . After pretreated with Shh pathway ago-nist SAG1.3 or antagonist GANT61, the survival rates of cardiomyocytes were assayed by MTT after OGD 6 hours or 12 hours. The protein levels of Shh pathway, phosphorylated histone H2AX at serine 139 (γH2AX), phosphorylated ATM (p-ATM), phospho-rylated p53 ( p-p53 ) , cleaved-caspase-3, Bcl-2 and Bax were detected by Western blot. The γH2AX foci was detected by immunofluorescence. Results Com-pared to control group, the protein expression of γH2AX, p-ATM, cleaved-caspase-3, p-p53 in OGD cardiomyocytes significantly increased, and Bcl-2/Bax ratio proportionally decreased. Particularly, the ex-pression of γH2AX, p-ATM was highest at OGD 6 h, and then gradually declined after OGD 12 h. After SAG1.3 pretreatment, the expression of γH2AX, p-ATM, cleaved-caspase-3 and p-p53 dramatically de-creased and the Bcl2/Bax ratio increased in OGD 6 h or OGD 12 h cardiomyocytes. On the contrary, in GANT61 pretreatment group, the expression of γH2AX, p-ATM, cleaved-caspase-3 and p-p53 signifi-cantly increased and the Bcl-2/Bax ratio decreased compared to the OGD 6 h or OGD 12 h cardiomyo-cytes. Conclusion The activation of Shh pathway protects cardiomyocytes against hypoxia-induced apop-tosis through inhibition of DNA damage.

ABSTRACT

Objective To investigate the tumor molecular mechanism of Hedgehog/Gli in promoting the epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) in gastric cancer AZ521 cells. Methods After 24 h of treatment with GANT61,the mRNA expression of Gli1,Gli2, N-cadherin,and E-cadherin in the AZ521 cell line were detected by real-time fluorescence quantitative PCR. A Western blotting assay was conducted to determine the expression of the above cytokines,p-AKT and AKT. The effect of GANT61 on invasion was observed by transwell assay. N-Shh stimulation of the Hedgehog pathway was conducted to confirm the changes in these cytokines. Results GANT61 significantly downregulated the mRNA expression of Gli1,Gli2,and N-cadherin,but upregulated E-cadherin mRNA expression. The Western blotting assay revealed that GANT61 downregulated the protein expression of Gli1,Gli2,p-AKT,and N-cadherin,but upregulated E-cadherin expression. Furthermore,GANT61 inhibited the invasion. N-Shh proteins up-regulated Gli1,Gli2,and N-cadherin mRNA,protein expression and p-AKT protein expression,but downregulated E-cadherin mRNA and protein expressions. N-Shh promoted the invasion of tumor cells. Conclusion Downregulation of Gli1 and Gli2 can inhibit the invasion and metastasis in gastric cancer cells,which may be related to the promotion of EMT by Gli through the PI3K/AKT pathway.

ABSTRACT

Objective To research the effect of GANT61 on epithelial‐mesenchymal transition (EMT) in human lung cancer H1703 and A549 cells lines ,and to preliminarily investigate its action mechanism .Methods DMSO was used as the control(DMSO group) .After treating H1703 and A549 cells with GANT61 for 24 h ,the gene changes of Gli‐1 ,Gli‐2 ,E‐cadherin and Vimentin were detected by using the real time fluorescence quantitative PCR method .The influence of GANT61 on the expression of E‐cad‐herin and Vimentin protein after acting on H1703 and A549 cells was observed by using the Western blotting assay .The scratch healing test was performed to evaluate the effect of GANT 61 on the tumor cell invasion ability after acting on H1703 and A549 cells .Results The real time fluorescence quantitative PCR showed that ,compared with the DMSO group ,GANT61 down‐regulated the mRNA expression of Gli‐1 ,Gli‐2 and Vimentin mRNA of H1703 and A549 cell lines and elevated the expression of E‐cadherin protein(P<0 .01);the Western blotting showed that GANT61 down‐regulated the expression of Vimentin of H1703 and A549 cell lines ,and elevated the expression of E‐cadherin(P<0 .01);the scratch healing test revealed the invasion ability of H 1703 and A549 cells in the GANT61 treatment group was significantly decreased (P<0 .01) .Conclusion EMT in lung cancer is related with aber‐rant activations of Gli1 and Gli2 in Hedgehog signal transduction pathway ,GANT61 could influence the EMT ability in lung cancer cells by down‐regulating the expression of Gli‐1 and Gli‐2 .Gli could become a new molecular target for inhibiting the lung cancer cell metastasis.

ABSTRACT

Objective To study the inhibitory effects of GANT61, as an inhibitor of Gli, on the growth of human esophageal adenocarcinoma cell lines OE19 and OE33, and their mechanisms thereof. Methods After treating with different concentrations of GANT61(30,20,13.333 3,8.888 8,5.925 9,3.950 6,2.633 7,1.755 8,1.170 5μmol/L),the cell viabilities of OE19 and OE33 were detected by MTS method, which expressed by IC50. The Gli1and Gli2 mRNA expressions treated with GANT61(10 μmol/L GANT61) or DMSO for 24 h were detected in OE19 and OE33 cell lines by real time fluorescence quantitative PCR. The protein expressions of Gli1, Gli2 and CyclinD1 treated with GANT61 or DMSO for 24 h were detected in OE19 and OE33 cell lines by Western blot assay. Transwell invasion assay was performed to evaluate the inhibiting effect on OE19 and OE33 cell invasion by the treatment of GANT61 or DMSO. Results The IC50 of GANT61 was 8.08μmol/L in OE19 and 9.65μmol/L in OE33 cells. Compared with DMSO group, Gli1 and Gli2 mRNA expressions and Gli1,Gli2 and CyclinD1 protein expressions were significantly decreased in OE19 and OE33 cells of GANT61 group (P<0.05). The number of penetrating cells was significantly reduced in OE19 and OE33 cells of GANT61 group compared with that of DMSO group (P<0.01). Conclusion GANT61 can inhibit the growth and invasion of esophageal neoplasms cells by down-regulating Gli1 and Gli2 mRNA expression,which indicates that Hedgehog signaling pathway may play an important role in carcinogenesis and progression of esophageal adenocarcinoma.
