ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate the mechanism of interleukin-22(IL-22) induced the secretion of vas-cular endothelial growth factor A(VEGF-A) in gastric cancer cell line AGS .Methods Gastric cancer cell line AGS were cultured in vitro ,and recombination cytokine IL-22 were added ,or signal pathway inhibitor were pre-incubated with AGS for 1 hour and then IL-22 were added ,the level of VEGF-A were detected by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay .Results Compared with the unstimulated group ,the secretion of VEGF-A in IL-22-stimulated group was significantly increased ,the difference was statistically significant (P＜0 .05) ,which was in a dose and time dependent manner .In addition ,IL-22-stimulated the secretion of VEGF-A by AGS was significantly decreased while pre-incubated by the signal transducers and activators of transcription 3(STAT3) inhibitor ,the difference was statistically significant (P＜0 .05) ,but such effect was not observed while AGS were pre-incubated with the nuclear factor kappa B inhibitor ,c-Jun N-terminal kinase inhibitor ,mitogen-acti-vated protein kinase kinase 1/2 inhibitor and p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase inhibitor ,there was no sta-tistical significance(P＞0 .05) .Conclusion IL-22 could induce the secretion of VEGF-A in gastric cancer cell line AGS via STAT3 signal pathway ,which may contribute to tumor progression .
ABSTRACT
Objective T o observe the expression changes of hypoxia inducible factor-1α (H IF-1α) and vascular endothelial grow th factor-A (V E G F-A ) in rats w ith arrhythm ias, and to explore the differences of the expression pattern in the tw o indicators of acute m yocardial ischem ia caused by arrhythm ias and coronary insufficiency. Methods T he arrhythm ia w as induced by C aC l2, and the expression changes of H IF-1α and V E G F-A w ere detected by im m unohistochem istry, W estern blotting and real-tim e PC R w ithin 6 h after the arrhythm ia in rats. Results T he expression of H IF-1α and V E G F-A show ed diffuse in the m yocardial tissue of rats died from arrhythm ias. B oth of them increased in the early arrhythm ia, then decreased. E xtensive m yocardial ischem ia happened at the beginning of arrhythm ia occurrence and its range didn't expand w ith tim e. Conclusion T he expressions of H IF-1α and V E G F-A in m yocardium of the rats w ith arrhythm ia can provide evidence for the differential diagnosis of acute m yocardial is-chem ia caused by fatal arrhythm ia and coronary insufficiency.
ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate the expression of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and Bax in non‐small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) and clinical value .Methods Paraffin specimens were collected from 80 cases of NSCLC tissues(NSCLC group) and 20 cases of normal lung tissue adjacent to benign lesions(control group) .Western blot and immunohistochemistry were used to dectect the expression of VEGF and Bax .The relationship of the expression of VEGF and Bax with histological classifica‐tion ,stage ,lymph mode metastasis were analyzed .Results The expression of VEGF in NSCLC group was higher than that in con‐trol group ,the differences were statistically significant (P0 .05) .The expression of Bax in NSCLC tissue was lower than that in normal tissue ,the differences was statistically significant (P0 .05) .The expression of VEGF was negatively correlated with Bax in NSCLC (P<0 .05) .Conclusion The ex‐pression of VEGF played a promoting effect in the NSCLC ,and was negatively correlated with the expression of Bax protein ,and the expression of the two could provide a basis for the diagnosis and prognosis of NSCLC .
ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate the expression of PES1 in ovarian cancer and its relationship with the vascular endothelial growth factor(VEGF) expression .Methods The expression of PES1 in ovarian cancer tissues and corresponding pericancerous tis-sues was detected with Western blot .Results The expression of PES1 in ovarian cancer tissues was obviously higher than that in the pericancerous tissues .The secretion amounts of VEGF in cell culture fluid of CAOV-3 and ES-2 with transfection of FLAG-PES1 were elevated from (178 .0 ± 11 .8) pg/mL and (309 .5 ± 18 .5) pg/mL to (375 .0 ± 18 .3) pg/mL and (633 .2 ± 25 .7)pg/mL respectively (P<0 .01) ,the secretion amounts of VEGF were also increased(P<0 .01) .The relative VEGF mRNA levels were also raised by 1 .8 times and 2 times respectively (P< 0 .01);Western blot simultaneously showed that the over expression of PES1 could increase the expression of HIF-1αin these two kinds of cells .The luciferase report gene transcriptional activation activity de-tection reveald that PES1 had no direct effect on the VEGF transcription .After cotransfecting HIF-1αSiRNA and FLAG-PES1 to CAOV-3 and ES-2 cells ,Western blot demonstrated that HIF-1αSiRNA could obviously inhibit the increase of HIF-1αexpression induced by PES1 ,at the same time the secretion amounts of VEGF and mRNA level were also supressed .Conclusion The expres-sion of PES1 is obviously up-regulated in ovarian cancer tissues .
