miR-4417 suppresses keloid fibrosis growth by inhibiting CyclinD1

Mounting evidence has reported that microRNAs (miRNAs) play irreplaceable roles in the development ofkeloid fibrosis. miR-4417 has been reported to contribute to nickel chloride-promoted lung epithelial cellfibrogenesis and tumorigenesis. However, whether miR-4417 is involved in keloid fibrogenesis as well as itsunderlying mechanisms remain largely elusive. In this study, the expression levels of miR-4417 and CyclinD1in keloid tissues and fibroblasts were examined by qRT-PCR. Cell proliferation was determined by CCK assay.Western blot and flow cytometry were performed to evaluate cell apoptosis. Cell migration and invasion weremeasured by Transwell assay. Luciferase reporter assay was used to confirm the relationship between miR4417 and CyclinD1. As a result, we found that miR-4417 was significantly down-regulated in keloid tissuesand fibroblasts. miR-4417 up-regulation led to the suppression of proliferation, migration, and invasion, whileinduced cell apoptosis in keloid fibroblasts. However, miR-4417 depletion exerted an opposite effect.CyclinD1 harbored the binding sites with miR-4417. Besides, the expression of CyclinD1 was evidentlydecreased in keloid tissues and fibroblasts. Meanwhile, miR-4417 was negatively correlated with CyclinD1 inkeloid tissue. The effect of CyclinD1 knockdown on keloid fibroblasts was similar to that of miR-4417overexpression. Furthermore, the elevated of CyclinD1 expression rescued the effect of miR-4417 up-regulation on keloid fibroblasts. miR-4417/CyclinD1 axis was required for cell proliferation, apoptosis, migration,and invasion in keloid fibroblasts. In conclusion, miR-4417 and CyclinD1 may be potential therapeutic targetsfor the treatment of keloid.

Role of STAT3 in tumor angiogenesis and radiation sensitivity / 中国肿瘤临床

Signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 (STAT3) is an important member of the STAT family of signaling pro-teins. STAT3 is widely expressed in different types of cells and tissues and is involved in many physiological and pathological process-es, including cell growth, proliferation, apoptosis, and malignant transformation. Over recent years, increased attention has been given on the role of STAT3 in tumor angiogenesis and radiation sensitivity. Studies show that on the one hand, following activation, STAT3 promotes angiogenesis by directly regulating the expression of vascular endothelial growth factor and then causes radiation resistance. On the other hand, STAT3 indirectly promotes angiogenesis by activating hypoxia-inducible factor-1α(HIF-1α), thus producing radio-therapy tolerance. Moreover, STAT3 can directly or by HIF-1αindirectly regulate CyclinD1 expression, thus rapidly promoting cell pro-gression through G1 into the S phase of the cell cycle and enhancing cell proliferation. In addition to regulating the cell cycle, CyclinD1 plays a key role in radiation sensitivity. Results suggest that STAT3 plays a role in tumor angiogenesis and radiation resistance via di-rect and indirect mechanisms. In this review, we summarize recent research advances on the role of STAT3 in regulating tumor angio-genesis and radiation sensitivity.

miR-205 promotes proliferation and invasion of laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma by suppressing CDK2AP1 expression

BACKGROUND: The aberrant expression of microRNAs (miRNAs) has been found in various types of cancer. miR-205 was reported to be upregulated in laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma (LSCC) tissues, however, the mechanisms by which miR-205 functions as a regulator of LSCC are largely unknown. RESULTS: In this study, Real-time qPCR and Western blot assay showed that expression of miR-205 was upregulated and expression of cyclin-dependent kinase 2-associated protein 1 (CDK2AP1) was downregulated in LSCC tissues. The expression levels of miR-205 were negatively related to those of CDK2AP1 in LSCC tissues and cell lines. Moreover, we found that miR-205 was the upstream regulator of CDK2AP1 and could suppress the CDK2AP1 expression in LSCC cells. 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazal-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyl-tetrazolium bromide assays and transwell invasion assay were performed to test the proliferation and invasion of LSCC cells. Gelatin zymography was used to detect the activity of MMP2 and MMP9. CDK2AP1, c-Myc and CyclinD1 expression in cells was assessed with Western blotting. We found that miR-205 was the upstream regulator of CDK2AP1 and could suppress the expression of CDK2AP1 in LSCC cells. In addition, miR-205 significantly induced cell proliferation and invasion by suppressing CDK2AP1 expression. Consistent with miR-205 inhibitors, overexpressed CDK2AP1 suppressed the activity of MMP2 and MMP9 and c-Myc and CyclinD1 expression in LSCC cells. CONCLUSION: These findings help us to better elucidate the molecular mechanisms of LSCC progression and provide a new theoretical basis to further investigate miR-205 as a potential biomarker and a promising approach for LSCC treatment.

Cyclin D1 and p16INK4 positive endometrial stromal sarcoma: A case report with new insights.

Endometrial stromal sarcoma (ESS) has a wide histopathological spectrum with CD10 as its diagnostic marker. Recently, few non-conventional ESSs have been identifi ed that lack diffuse CD10 expression. A 46-year-old, perimenopausal lady referred to us with history of vaginal bleeding. On clinical examination and radiological imaging, a polypoid endometrial tumor was identifi ed. Hysterectomy revealed a multinodular tumor in the myometrium. Microscopically, the tumor composed of rather banal oval to spindle-shaped cells in a fi bromyxoid stroma. Focal areas displayed compact cellular arrangement, unassociated with signifi cant mitoses and necrosis. Immunohistochemically, tumor cells were focally positive for CD10, estrogen receptor, progesterone receptor, p16INK4 and were diffusely positive for cyclinD1. Diagnosis of cyclinD1 and p16INK4 positive ESS was offered. This case highlights the value of additional IHC markers, especially cyclinD1 and p16INK4 in order to identify certain ESSs that lack diffuse CD10 immunoexpression; are invariably misdiagnosed as undifferentiated sarcomas, but actually form a relatively more aggressive subset of ESSs.

Objective: To explore the antitumor effect of oxymatrine and detect the mechanism involved. Methods: The Anti-proliferative effects of oxymatrine in human colon adenocarcinoma SW620 cells were assessed using MTT assay. SW620 cells treated with oxymatrine were assessed with Hoechst 33258 staining and cell cycle distribution assay was performed by flow cytometry. The quantitative real-time PCR assay was used to evaluate the expression of p16, cell cycle-related cyclinD1 and CDK4 mRNA at the genetic level. To investigate the molecular mechanisms underlying alterations in cell apoptosis, the proteins p16, cell cycle-related cyclinD1, and CDK4 were determined by Western blotting analysis. Results: Oxymatrine could significantly inhibit the growth of SW620 cells compared with the control group, the IC50 was 4.02 μmol/L. Its anticancer activity was related to the alteration in expression of p16, cyclinD1, and CDK4 (P<0.05, 0.01). Conclusion: These results suggest that oxymatrine produces the obvious antitumor effects on SW620 cells in vitro, induces the cell arrest in G1 phase which is related to the regulation on the protein expression of p16, cyclinD1, and CDK4.

The expression of OPN was negatively correlated with ER and PR while positively correlated with CerbB2, COX-2 and CyclinD1. Conclusions OPN plays an important role in the invasion and metastasis of breast carcinoma coordinated with COX-2 and CyclinD1.

Effect of adenovirus-mediated hepaCAM gene expression on cell cycle of bladder cancer cell lines / 第二军医大学学报

Objective: our study was to investigate the effect of hepaCAM gene on cell cycle of bladder cancer cell line T24 and BIU-87. Method: Adenovirus vector with hepaCAM was infected into T24 and BIU-87 cells. The expression of hepaCAM mRNA and protein were measured byRT-QPCR and Western-blot. Immunofluorescence detected the cellular localization of hepaCAM. The distribution of cell cycle was analyzed by FCM. The protein expression of cyclinD1 was measured by Westein-blot. Result: The expression of hepaCAM mRNA and protein was increased in two cell lines infected with pAdH5-hepaCAM. The G0/G1 cycle was increased in infected cells, and the protein expression of cyclinD1 was decreased in same cells. Immunofluorescence revealed that hepaCAM protein localized on cytoplasm in well-spread cells, otherwise it localized on the junction of each cell. Conclusion: T24 and BIU-87 cells that infected pAdH5- hepaCAM was blocked in G0/G1 cycle, and it can decreased the protein expression of cyclinD1.
