RESUMO

<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To investigate the role of bone morphogenetic protein 4 (BMP4) on the proliferation and apoptosis in glioma stem cells.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>Stem cells were isolated from a human glioma cell line U87 by using vincristine and characterized by immunofluorescence assay. Proliferation and apoptosis were determined by soft agar colony assay and flow cytometry; Cyclin D1, Bcl-2 and Bax were detected by Western blot analysis.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>BMP4 inhibited cell proliferation and promoted apoptosis in U87 glioma stem cells. Moreover, Bcl-2 and Cyclin D1 expression were decreased by BMP4, while Bax level was elevated.</p><p><b>CONCLUSION</b>BMP4 can inhibit U87 glioma stem cells proliferation through downregulating Cyclin D1 level, and promote apoptosis through induction of Bax expression and inhibition of Bcl-2 level. It suggests that BMP4 plays an important role in human glioma stem cell biology.</p>

RESUMO

<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To investigate the effect of osteopontin silencing on the invasion and apoptosis of U251 cells.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>The invasion, apoptosis and levels of uPA, MMP-2 and MMP-9 were determined by invasion assay, flow cytometry, Western blot and real-time fluorescence quantitative PCR respectively.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>Osteopontin small interference RNA (siRNA) inhibited osteopontin expression and cell invasion, promoted apoptosis in U251 cells. In addition, the expression of Bcl-2, uPA, MMP-2 and MMP-9 was decreased, while Bax level was elevated.</p><p><b>CONCLUSION</b>Osteopontin siRNA can inhibit U251 cells invasion via the down-regulation of uPA, MMP-2 and MMP-9 levels, and promote apoptosis through induction of Bax expression and inhibition of Bcl 2 level. It suggests that osteopontin plays an important role in human glioma progression.</p>
