ABSTRACT
@# Objective: To investigate whether inhibitor of differentiation 1 gene (Id1) and Id3 gene can synergistically promote epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT), invasion and migration of colon cancer SW620 cells and to explore its underlying mechanisms. Methods: The SW620 cell strain with Idl or Id3 gene knockdown and the SW620 cell strain with Id1/Id3 gene double-knockdown were constructed by lentiviral vectors transfection. The SW620 cells were divided into four groups, which included SW620-Sh-Id1 group (transfected with shRNA-Id1), SW620-Sh-Id3 group (transfected with shRNA-Id3), SW620-Sh-Id1-Id3 group (transfected with shRNAId1 plus shRNA-Id3) and SW620-NC group (transfected with negative lentivirus). The efficiency of knockdown was detected by Realtime qPCR and Western blotting. The influence of stable knockdown of Idl or Id3 on cell morphological change was observed under a microscope. The changes of migration and invasion abilities of the SW620 cells were determined by wound healing assay and Transwell assay. EMT, invasion and migration related proteins were measured by Western blotting. Results: The SW620 cell strains with Idl and/or Id3 gene knockdown were successfully constructed. Idl and Id3 knockdown induced the epithelial-like to the mesenchymanl-like transformation of SW620 cells. (1) Compared with the control group, the invasion and migration abilities of the SW620 cells were significantly decreased in the SW620-Sh-Id1 group and SW620-Sh-Id3 group (all P<0.05). (2) Meanwhile, the invasion and migration abilities in the SW620-Sh-Id1-Id3 group were obviously weaker than the SW620-Sh-Id1 group and SW620-Sh-Id3 group (all P<0.05). (3) Compared with the control group, the SW620-Sh-Id1 group and SW620-Sh-Id3 group had a reduction in the protein expressions of βcatenin, snail1 and MMP2, and an increase in the protein expressions of E-cadherin and TIMP2 (all P<0.05). (4) Compared with the SW620-Sh-Id1 group and SW620-Sh-Id3 group , the protein expressions of β-catenin, snail1 and MMP2 were reduced, and the protein expressions of E-cadherin and TIMP2 were increased in the SW620-Sh-Id1-Id3 group (all P<0.05). Conclusion: Id1 and Id3 could synergistically influence invasion and migration of SW620 cells, possibly through inducing EMT.
ABSTRACT
Purpose To investigate the mutations of ID3,TCF3 and MYC genes in Chinese Burkitt lymphoma and discuss their significance.Methods Total DNA was extracted from tumor tissues of 32 patients with Burkitt lymphoma,then the DNA was amplified by polymerase chain reaction (PCR),and the products of PCR were sequenced directly with Sanger sequencing methods.Results The mutation rates of ID3 and TCF3 genes were 35.5％ (11/31) and 18.8％ (6/32) respectively.The mutation rate of MYC was 50％.The mutation rates of MYC exon 1,MYC exon 2 and MYC exon 3 were 3.3％ (1/30),50％ (15/30) and 7.7％ (2/26) respectively.Conclusion Recurrent mutations of the ID3,TCF3 and MYC genes in Chinese Burkitt lymphoma were identified by Sanger sequencing.For TCF3 gene,a novel mutation c.2202G ＞ C p.L569V was found in three cases.In two cases,a novel mutation of c.1070A ＞G p.G182D was found in MYC gene.
ABSTRACT
Objective:To investigate the inhibitory effect of inhibitor of differentiation 3(Id3)on growth of human lung adenocarcinoma cell line A549.Methods:Recombinant eukaryotic expression vector pEGFP/Id3 was constructed and transfected into A549 cells by liposome-mediated method.Expression of pEGFP/Id3 in A549 cells was analyzed by flow cytometry(FCM),fluorescence microscopy,semi-quantitative RT-PCR and immunocytochemistry.The growth inhibitory rate of A549 cells was examined by MTT assay;cell cycle change was evaluated by PI(propidium iodide)staining method.Cell apoptotic rate and nuclear morphology were detected by Annexin V/7-AAD and Hoechst33258 staining. Results:The recombinant eukaryotic expression vector pEGFP/Id3 was successfully constructed.The expression of EGFP reached the peak 48-72 h after transfection;the expresion of pEGFP-transfected group was higher than that of the pEGFP/ Id3 group.RT-PCR and immunocytochemistry staining showed that Id3 mRNA and protein were effectively expressed in pEGFP/Id3-transfected A549 cells.The growth of cells in pEGFP/Id3 transfeeted cells was significantly inhibited 48-72 h after transfection(P
ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate the correlation between clinicopathological parameters and the expressions of inhibitor of differentiation/DNA binding 3 (Id3), vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and human epidermal growth factor receptor-2 (HER-2/C-erbB-2) in patients with breast cancer. Methods The protein expressions of Id3, VEGF and C-erbB-2 were detected by SABC immunohistochemistry in 70 spceimens of breast cancer, 40 specimens of tissue adjacent to breast cancer, 20 specimens of fibroadenoma and 20 specimens of normal breast tissue. Results The expressions of Id3, VEGF and C-erbB-2 in breast cancer tissue (88.6%, 95.7% and 20.0%, respectively) were significantly higher than that in the other tissues (P0.05), while the expression of C-erbB-2 protein substantially varied among the patients of breast cancer in different pTNM stages (P
