ABSTRACT

Objective:To investigate the effect and molecular mechanism of procyanidin on the proliferation, apoptosis and reactive oxygen species (ROS) level of gastric cancer cell line SNU-1 in vitro. Methods:SNU-1 cells were divided into control group and 12.5, 50.0, 200.0 μg/ml procyanidin groups. The effect of procyanidin on the proliferation of SNU-1 cells was detected by CCK-8 assay. The apoptosis level and ROS positive rate of cells were detected by flow cytometry, and 2 mmol/L glutathione was added to SNU-1 cells added with 200.0 μg/ml procyanidin to detect the apoptosis level and ROS positive rate of cells. The expression of apoptosis-related protein in cells was detected by Western blotting.Results:The results of CCK-8 experiment showed that the proliferation activities of SNU-1 cells in the control group and the 12.5, 50.0, 200.0 μg/ml procyanidin groups were 3.69±0.30, 3.29±0.41, 0.91±0.39, 0.45±0.22 respectively, with a statistically significant difference ( F=279.84, P<0.001) . Compared with the control group, the proliferation activities of SNU-1 cells in the three procyanidin groups were significantly inhibited ( P=0.006, P<0.001, P<0.001) . The results of flow cytometry showed that the early apoptosis rates of SNU-1 cells in the control group and the 12.5, 50.0, 200.0 μg/ml procyanidin groups were (0.00±0.00) %, (0.00±0.00) %, (0.09±0.07) % and (0.45±0.22) % respectively, with a statistically significant difference ( F=7.14, P=0.003) . The 50.0 and 200.0 μg/ml procyanidin groups increased significantly compared with the control group ( P=0.003, P=0.007) . The late apoptosis rates of SNU-1 cells in the four groups were (0.00±0.00) %, (0.01±0.00) %, (6.98±0.77) % and (33.32±2.78) % respectively, with a statistically significant difference ( F=654.28, P=0.003) . The 50.0 and 200.0 μg/ml procyanidin groups increased significantly compared with the control group ( P<0.001, P<0.001) . The positive rates of ROS in SNU-1 cells in the four groups were (0.02±0.01) %, (0.10±0.05) %, (1.15±0.26) % and (1.58±0.22) % respectively, with a statistically significant difference ( F=162.24, P<0.001) . The 50.0 and 200.0 μg/ml procyanidin groups increased significantly compared with the control group ( P<0.001, P<0.001) . The positive rates of ROS in SNU-1 cells in the 200.0 μg/ml procyanidin group and the glutathione intervention group were (1.25±0.63) % and (0.13±0.02) % respectively, with a statistically significant difference ( t=5.39, P=0.001) . The early apoptosis rates of the two groups were (10.56±3.24) % and (2.09±0.24) % respectively, and the late apoptosis rates were (29.65±6.01) % and (23.63±1.52) % respectively, with statistically significant differences ( t=2.61, P=0.048; t=3.97, P=0.012) . The expressions of Bcl-2 protein in SNU-1 cells in the control group and the 12.5, 50.0, 200.0 μg/ml procyanidin groups were 1.00±0.00, 0.83±0.05, 0.60±0.14 and 0.41±0.23 respectively, with a statistically significant difference ( F=10.63, P=0.004) . The 50.0 and 200.0 μg/ml procyanidin groups decreased significantly compared with the control group ( P<0.001, P<0.001) . Conclusion:Procyanidin can inhibit proliferation and promote apoptosis of gastric cancer SNU-1 cells in vitro, which may be achieved by increasing intracellular ROS levels and reducing Bcl-2 protein expression.

ABSTRACT

@#[Abstract] Objective: To investigate the effect of circular RNA FBXO11 (circFBXO11) regulating the miR-376a-3p/SNRPB (small nuclear ribonucleoprotein polypeptides B gene) axis on the proliferation and apoptosis of gastric cancer SNU-1 cells. Methods: Cancer and para-cancerous tissue samples from 30 patients with gastric cancer who underwent surgical resection were surgically resected in the Department of Oncosurgery, the Affiliated Hospital of North China University of Science and Technology from January 2018 to January 2019 were collected. The positive expression rate of SNRPB protein in gastric cancer tissues was detected by Immunohistochemical staining. The expression levels of circFBXO11, miR-376a-3p and SNRPB mRNA in gastric cancer tissues, gastric cancer cell lines (SNU-1, AGS and HS-746T) and gastric mucosal cell line GES1 were detected by qPCR. Dual luciferase reporter gene assay was used to determine the relationship between circFBXO11 and miR-376a-3p as well as between miR-376a-3p and SNRPB. The si-NC, si-circFBXO11, miR-NC, miR-376a-3p, si-SNRPB, si-circFBXO11+anti-miR-NC, si-circFBXO11+anti-miR-376a-3p, si-circFBXO11+pcDNA-NC, si-circFBXO11+pcDNA-SNRPB were transfected into gastric cancer SNU-1 cells, respectively. CCK-8 assay, Flow cytometry and WB assay were used to detect cell proliferation activity, apoptosis rate and protein expressions of SNRPB, cyclin D1 and C-caspase-3, respectively. Results: Compared with para-cancerous tissues, the expression level of circFBXO11 and the positive rate of SNRPB protein in gastric cancer tissues were significantly increased (all P<0.01), while the expression of miR-376a-3p was significantly decreased (P<0.01). Compared with GES1 cells, the expressions of circFBXO11 and SNRPB were significantly increased, while the expression of miR-376a-3p was significantly decreased (all P<0.01) in gastric cancer cells. circFBXO11 negatively regulated miR-376a-3p expression, and miR-376a-3p negatively regulated SNRPB expression. After inhibiting the expression of circFBXO11 or over-expressing miR-376a-3p or suppressing the expression of SNRPB, the proliferation viability of SNU-1 cells was decreased, and the apoptosis rate was increased (P<0.01). Either inhibiting miR-376a-3p or over-expressing SNRPB could partially reverse the effect of circFBXO11 suppression on proliferation and apoptosis of SNU-1 cells (all P<0.01). Conclusion: circFBXO11 is highly expressed in gastric cancer tissues. Inhibiting circFBXO11 inhibits the proliferation and induces apoptosis of gastric cancer cells, and the mechanism is related to the regulation of miR-376A-3p/SNRPB pathway.

ABSTRACT

(1S,2S,3E,7E,11E)-3,7,11,15-cembratetraen-17,2-olide (LS-1), a marine cembrenolide diterpene, has anticancer activity against colon cancer cells such as HT-29, SNU-C5/5-FU (fluorouracil-resistant SNU-C5) and SNU-C5. However, the action mechanism of LS-1 on SNU-C5 human colon cancer cells has not been fully elucidated. In this study, we investigated whether the anticancer effect of LS-1 could result from apoptosis via the modulation of Wnt/β-catenin and the TGF-β pathways. When treated with the LS-1, we could observe the apoptotic characteristics such as apoptotic bodies and the increase of sub-G1 hypodiploid cell population, increase of Bax level, decrease of Bcl-2 expression, cleavage of procaspase-3 and cleavage of poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase in SNU-C5 cells. Furthermore, the apoptosis induction of SNU-C5 cells upon LS-1 treatment was also accompanied by the down-regulation of Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway via the decrease of GSK-3β phosphorylation followed by the decrease of β-catenin level. In addition, the LS-1 induced the activation of TGF-β signaling pathway with the decrease of carcinoembryonic antigen which leads to decrease of c-Myc, an oncoprotein. These data suggest that the LS-1 could induce the apoptosis via the down-regulation of Wnt/β-catenin pathway and the activation of TGF-β pathway in SNU-C5 human colon cancer cells. The results support that the LS-1 might have potential for the treatment of human colon cancer.

ABSTRACT

PURPOSE: To investigate the efficacy of a computerized visual acuity test, the SNU visual acuity test for children. METHODS: Fifty-six children, ranging from 1 to 5 years of age, were included. In a dark room, children gazed at and followed a circular dot with 50% contrast moving at a fixed velocity of 10 pixels/sec on a computer monitor. Eye movement was captured using a charge coupled device camera and was expressed as coordinates on a graph. Movements of the eye and dot were superimposed on a graph and analyzed. Minimum visualized dot diameters were compared to the Teller visual acuity. RESULTS: Ten eyes (8.9%) of six children failed to perform the Teller visual acuity test, and two eyes (1.8%) of one patient failed to perform the SNU visual acuity test. The observed Teller visual acuity and SNU visual acuity were significantly correlated (p < 0.001). Visual angle degrees converted from the Teller visual acuity and SNU visual acuity were also significantly correlated (p < 0.001). CONCLUSION: The SNU visual acuity using moving targets correlated well with Teller visual acuity and was more applicable than the Teller acuity test. Therefore, the SNU visual acuity test has potential clinical applications for children.

ABSTRACT

Objective To explore the effects of deoxynivalenol (DON) on apoptosis of human gastric carcinoma cell line SNU in vitro. Methods SNU cells were treated with DON at different concentrations (50, 100, 1000, 2000 μg/L) for 12 hours, and then cells were harvested for cell apoptosis by flow cytometric (FCM) DNA analysis and the expression of Bax, Bcl-2 and Caspase-3 at protein level with FCM and Western blotting. Results FCM results showed that the apoptosis rates of SNU cells in DON treatment groups were all higher than that in control, especially in DON 1000 μg/L and 2000 μg/L groups (P<0.05). In the concentration range from 50 to 2000 μg/L, a significant concentration-depended response correlation could be found between apoptosis rate and DON concentration (r =0.940, P <0.01). FCM and Western blotting showed Bax and Caspase-3 expression in often SNU cells DON treatment for 12 hours were up-regulated while that of Bcl-2 was down-regulated. Conclusion DON can induce apoptosis of SNU cells in vitro in dose-dependent manner, and possible mechanisms of apoptosis induction effects may be up-regulation of the expression of Bax and down-regulation of that of Bcl-2 and activation of the key enzyme of apoptosis Caspase-3.

ABSTRACT

PURPOSE: Mesenchymal stem cells (MSC) can be isolated from bone marrow (BM) and when systemically administrated to different species, they undergo site-specific differentiation. In this study, we isolated MSC from human BM and generated a continuously growing colony of cell lines (SNU-hMSC) with SV40 large T antigen. The purposes of this study are to identify whether SNU-hMSC have the characteristics of MSC and their possibility of chondrogenic differentiation. METHODS: MSC were mobilized from BM and cultured in DMEM-LG media for 2 weeks. We obtained SNU-hMSC, by introducing a viral vector of SV40 large T antigen and culturing it in the selected media for 6 months. We identified specific cell markers of MSC via FACS analysis and analyzed expression of cytokines, chemokines and receptors by RT-PCR. To stimulate the proliferation of the cells, we processed the media with FGF, BMP-2 and IL-6. The each medium's cell counts were counted in day 7 and day 14. To differentiate SNU-hMSC, they were cultured in chondrogenic media. After 2 weeks, chondrogenic differentiation was evaluated with safranin-O staining and the expression of COMP, aggrecan and SOX-9. RESULTS: SNU-hMSC exhibited MSC markers. When the IL-6, BMP-2 and FGF were added to each medium, the cell numbers were significantly increased as compared with control. In the study of differentiation, SNU-hMSC exhibited strong safranin-O staining, and chondrogenic gene expression was observed. CONCLUSION: SNU-hMSC expressed markers and cytokines identical with MSC. SNU-hMSC maintained multipotency of differentiation.

ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVE: Human embryonic stem cell derived from blastocyst randomly differentiates into multiple cell types during embryoid body development. Bone morphogenetic proteins (BMPs) are members of the transforming growth factor type beta superfamily. We have a question whether BMP2 and/or BMP4 can induce trophoblast specific genes in human ES cells using SNU hES3 cell line. METHODS: Human embryonic stem cell line (SNU hES3) was supplied by Miz Medi Hospital Seoul National University. Cultured hES cells were divided into small clumps and then allow for EB formation in differentiation medium. After EB formation, EBs were transferred onto gelatin coated dishes and given hES conditioned medium alone (control) or supplemented as following treatment for 6 days; rhBMP4 100 ng/mL; rhBMP2 100 ng/mL; BMP4 100 ng/mL +BMP2 100 ng/mL. RT PCR was performed for trophoblast specific genes. During culture, supernatant was collected and measured for estradiol (E2), progesterone, and hCG beta by enzymeimmuno assay (EIA) kit. RESULTS: BMP4 and BMP2 increase chorionic gonadotropin beta (hCG beta), glical cell missing 1 (GMC1), and CD9 as trophoblast specific gene markers confirmed by RT PCR. However, the non classical HLA class I molecule HLAG1, was not expressed in our studies. And we cannot find significant differences of the level of estradiol, hCG nd progesterone in this study. CONCLUSION: The results suggest that BMP 4 and 2 have an additive effect on induction of trophoblast related genes in SNU hES3 cell line. Although we failed to induce the differentiation of human ES cells to trophoblast, this study could provide the possibility for the differentiation of early human trophoblast cells and thus need further studies.

ABSTRACT

PURPOSE: To investigate the color vision defect in diabetic patients using the SNU computerized color test (SCCT). METHODS: From May to September 2003, diabetic patients with visual acuity 0.6 or better underwent various examinations including biomicroscopy, fundus photography, Ishihara color test, Hardy?Rand?Rittler (HRR) test, Seohan computerized hue test (SCHT), and SNU computerized color test. The SCCT was developed by using the Matlab 6.0 program. RESULTS: A total of 160 eyes of 82 diabetic patients were included. Thirty-two patients had no diabetic retinopathy, 19 had mild nonproliferative diabetic retinopathy (NPDR), 12 had moderate NPDR, 12 had severe NPDR, and 7 had proliferative diabetic retinopathy (PDR). In the all diabetic patients, the average total error score (TES) of SCHT was 189 and that of SCCT was 8.5; in patients without diabetic retinopathy, the scores were 125 and 3.64; in patients with mild NPDR, 185 and 8.16; in patients with moderate NPDR, 209 and 11.1; in patients with severe NPDR, 288 and 15.6 ; and in patients with PDR, 324 and 17.6 respectively. On the HRR test, patients without diabetic retinopathy had 1 tritan defect; those with mild NPDR 2 tritan, 2 protan, and 2 deutan defects: those with moderate NPDR, no color defects ; and those with severe NPDR, 2 tritan, and 2 protan defects, and 1 deutan defect. CONCLUSIONS: In diabetic patients, TES of SCHT and SCCT was higher according to the severity of diabetic retinopathy. SCHT and SCCT were more useful than HRR test.

ABSTRACT

PURPOSE: This study was designed to investigate the characteristics and classification of congenital color vision deficiency (CVD) by the SNU computerized color test (SCCT) that was developed to sufficiently utilize the advantages of a computer. METHODS: Hardy-Rand-Rittler test (HRR test), Nagel anomaloscope and SCCT were performed on 60 eyes of 30 CVD patients and 30 normal subjects and the results were compared. RESULTS: In normal subjects, the error scores were all zero at all colors by SCCT. By SCCT protan color defectives showed a peak at hue 0 red in 7 eyes (29.2%), at hue 150 green in 3 eyes (12.5%), at hue 180 green in 18 eyes (75%), and at hue 330 red in 2 eyes (8.3%). By SCCT, deutan color defectives showed a peak at hue 0 red in 2 eyes (5.6%), at hue 150 green in 24 eyes (66.7%), at hue 180 green in 2 eyes (5.6%), and at hue 330 red in 23 eyes (63.9%). CONCLUSIONS: SCCT showed specific axes in CVD patients, with accuracy and high sensitivity to diagnosis. SCCT appears to be useful clinically as a color vision test to diagnose and classify CVD patients.

ABSTRACT

This study was performed to investigate the in vitro and in vivo anticancer effects of persimmon leaf extracts on human gastric cancer cells. In vitro anticancer effects of persimmon leaf extracts (water extract at 80 degrees C for 3 hours, water extract at room temperature for 48 hours, 50% ethanol extract at 80 degrees C for 3 hours, 50% ethanol extract at room temperature for 48 hours, 75% ethanol extract at 80 degrees C for 3 hours and 75% ethanol extract at room temperature for 48 hours) on SNU16 (Korean gastric cancer cell) were investigated by MTT assay. Persimmon leaf extracts exhibited strong in vitro anticancer effects. We found that the higher the ethanol content of the solvent, the stronger the in vitro anticancer effects. Extraction yields, contents of flavonoids, vitamin A, vitamin C and vitamin E were measured. We found that the higher the ethanol content of the solvent, the higher the extraction yields and the contents of flavonoids, vitamin A and vitamin E. Among persimmon leaf extracts, 75% ethanol 80 degrees C extract showed the highest extraction yield, the highest contents of flavonoids, vitamin A and vitamin E and exhibitied the strongest in vitro anticancer effect on SNU16. Therefore, 75% ethanol 80 degrees C extract was chosen as the material to investigate in vivo anticancer effects. In vivo anticancer effect of persimmon leaf 75% ethanol 80 degrees C extract was investigated in SNU16 transplanted nude mice. Twenty five female nude mice (BALB/c) were blocked into five groups according to body weight and raised for 4 weeks with diets containing 4% (w/w), 8% (w/w) persimmon leaf 75% ethanol 80 degrees C extract, with IT (intratumoral) injection treatment with 1.65 mg/100 microliter, 3.3 mg/100 microliter concentration every other day 3 weeks after SNU16 was transplanted. Persimmon 75% ethanol 80 degrees C extract significantly lowered tumor weight and tumor volume in SNU16 transplanted nude mice. Tumor weight and tumor volume in all experimental groups were significantly lower than those in the control group. Helper T cell (CD4) levels of mice injected with 3.3 mg/100 microliter extract significantly increased. Cytotoxic T cell (CD8) levels in all experimental groups significantly increased and helper/cytotoxic T cell ratios in all experimental groups significantly decreased. Natural killer cell and MHC class II molecule in all experimental groups significantly increased. In conclusion, persimmon leaf 75% ethanol 80 degrees C extract exhibited strong in vitro and in vivo anticancer effects against SNU16 cells and it increased cytotoxic T cell, natural killer cell and MHC classII molecule in experimental groups in SNU16 transplanted nude mice.

ABSTRACT

BACKGROUND: Inactivation in p53 tumor suppressor gene through a point mutation and deletion is one of the most frequent genetic changes found in human cancer, with 50% of an incidence. This high rate of mutation mostly suggests that the gene plays a central role in the development of cancer and the mutations detected so far were found in exons 5 to 8. Mutation of p53 locus produced accumulation of abnormal p53 protein, and negative regulation of cell proliferation and transcriptional activation as a suppressor of transformation were lost . In addition, inhibition of its normal cellular function of wild-type by mutant is an important step in tumorigenesis. METHOD: 4 colon cancer cell lines (SNU C1, C2A, C4, C5) were examined for mutation in exons 5 to 8 of the p53 tumor suppressor gene by PCR-SSCP analysis and expression pattern by western blotting and immunoprecipitation. p53-mediated transactivation ability were examined by CAT assay and base substitution of p53 in SNU C2A cell were detected by DNA sequencing. RESULTS: 1) SNU C2A cell and SNU C5 cell were detected mobility shifts each in exon 5 and exon 7 of p53 gene by the PCR-SSCP method, implicating being of p53 mutation. 2) 3 colon cancer cell lines (SNU C1, SNU C2A, SNU C5) expressed wild type and mutant type p53 protein. 3) In northern blot experiment, SNU C2A and SNU C5 cell expressed high level of p53 mRNA. 4) Results of p53-mediated transactivation in colon cancer cell lines by CAT assay represented only SNU C2A cell has transcriptional activity. 5) DNA sequencing in SNU C2A cell showed missense mutation in codon 179 of one allele, histidine to arginine and wild type p53 in the other allele. CONCLUSION: Colon cancer cell lines showed correlation with mutation in p53 gene and accumulation of abnormal p53 protein. Colon cancer cell SNU C2A retained p53-mediated transactivation as heterozygous p53 with one mutant allele in 179 codon and the other wild-type allele.

ABSTRACT

PURPOSE: The characterization of all recognizable chromosomal rearrangements was dis- turbed by technical limitation of conventional cytogenetic methods. Recently, the strong usefullness of generation of chromosome specific painting probes in identification of marker chromosomes has proven. This study was intended to analyze the chromosomal aberrations in human ovarian cancer cell line, SNU-8, by G-banding and multiple paintings. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Human ovarian cancer cell line, SNU-8 was cultured and harvested for cytogenetic analysis. Routine karyotyping was performed. For complete analysis of chromosomal aberrations, human chromosome-specific painting probes were constructed from somatic hybrid cells. The origins of the unidentified marker chromosomes were analyzed by fluorescent in situ hybridization (FISH) with these painting probes. RESULTS: All chromosome alterations were confirmed by the use of multiple chromosome paintings, which also demonstrated a number of additional alterations. SNU-8 had the karyotype 62-69,XXX, + der(1;10)(q10;p10),der(3;18) (q10;p10)X2,-4,+ 5,+ 7,del(9)(q21)X2,-11,-13,-15,-16,der(17;19)(q10;q10) X2, + 20,-22[cp51]. CONCLUSION: The chromosomal aberrations of SNU-8 cell line was effectively analyzed by FISH with these painting probes, and the approach methods of this study can be applied to cytogenetic analysis of chromosomal aberrations in the other cancers.
