Casein kinase 2 interacting protein 1 positively regulates caudal-related homeobox 1 in intestinal-type gastric cancer / 中华医学杂志(英文版)

BACKGROUND@#Gastric cancer (GC) is one of the most common malignancies, and intestinal-type GC is the main histopathologic type of GC in China. We previously reported that casein kinase 2 interacting protein 1 (CKIP-1) acts as a candidate tumor suppressor in intestinal-type GC. CKIP-1 participates in the regulation of multiple signaling pathways, including the Wnt/β-catenin pathway, of which caudal-related homeobox 1 (CDX1) may be a downstream target gene. The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between CKIP-1 and CDX1 in intestinal-type GC.@*METHODS@#Sixty-seven gastroscopy biopsy specimens and surgically resected gastric specimens were divided into four groups: gastric mucosa group, intestinal metaplasia (IM) group, dysplasia group, and intestinal-type GC group. The expression levels of CKIP-1 and CDX1 were detected in these groups and GC cell lines, and the correlations between these expression levels were analyzed. SGC7901 and BGC823 cells were divided into CKIP-1 shRNA groups and CKIP-1 over-expression groups, and CDX1 expression was detected. β-Catenin expression was detected in intestinal-type GC tissue samples and CKIP-1 shRNA and CKIP-1 over-expression SGC7901 cells, and its correlation with CKIP-1 expression in intestinal-type GC tissue was analyzed. The Wnt/β-catenin pathway inhibitor DKK-1 and activator LiCl were incubated with SGC7901 cells, BGC823 cells, and CKIP-1 shRNA and CKIP-1 over-expression SGC7901 and BGC823 cells, following which CDX1 and Ki-67 expression were detected.@*RESULTS@#The expression levels of CKIP-1 and CDX1 were lower in patients with intestinal-type GC than in patients with IM and dysplasia (both P < 0.05). CKIP-1 and CDX1 expression levels were positively correlated in IM, dysplasia, and intestinal-type GC tissue and cell lines (r = 0.771, P < 0.01; r = 0.597, P < 0.01; r = 0.654, P < 0.01; r = 0.811, P < 0.01, respectively). CDX1 expression was decreased in the CKIP-1 shRNA groups and increased in the CKIP-1 over-expression groups of SGC7901 and BGC823 cells compared to that in the corresponding control groups (both P < 0.05). CKIP-1 expression was negatively correlated with β-catenin expression in intestinal-type GC patients (r = -0.458, P < 0.01). Compared to the control group, β-catenin expression was increased in the CKIP-1 shRNA SGC7901 cell group and decreased in the CKIP-1 over-expression SGC7901 cell group (P < 0.05). CDX1 expression was increased in SGC7901 and BGC823 cells treated with DKK-1, DKK-1 increased CDX1 expression and decreased Ki-67 expression in the CKIP-1 shRNA group; the opposite result was observed in SGC7901 and BGC823 cells treated with LiCl, and LiCl decreased CDX1 expression and increased Ki-67 expression in the CKIP-1 over-expression group (both P < 0.05).@*CONCLUSIONS@#Through the Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway, CKIP-1 may positively regulate CDX1 in intestinal-type GC.

miR-483-5p promotes growth, migration and invasion of hepatocellular carcinoma cells by up-regulating IGF2 gene transcription / 中国病理生理杂志

AIM:To investigate the effect of miR-483-5p on P3 promoter-driven mRNA(P3 mRNA)expres-sion of human insulin-like growth factor 2(IGF2)gene and its role in the development of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC).METHODS: The expression levels of miR-483-5p and P3 mRNA were analyzed by real-time PCR in human HCC cell lines Huh7,Hep3B,Bel-7402,HepG2 and SMMC-7721,normal human liver cell line HL-7702,83 cases of hu-man HCC tissues and their matched adjacent nontumorous tissues(MANT), and 22 cases of normal adult liver tissues (NALT).The association between P3 mRNA level and miR-483-5p level was evaluated by Pearson correlation analysis. The full-length sequences of 5'UTR of P3 mRNA containing wild-type and mutant miR-483-5p-binding sequences were cloned into pGL3 promoter vector, which were termed pGL3-P3-5'UTR-WT and pGL3-P3-5'UTR-MUT, respectively. These luciferase reporter constructs were transfected into HeLa,293T and Huh7 cells together with miR-483-5p mimic, miR-483-5p inhibitor or scrambled control,and the luciferase activity was measured using dual-luciferase reporter system. The miR-483-5p mimic,miR-483 inhibitor and scrambled control were also transfected into Huh 7 cells and Hep3B cells, and P3 mRNA level was detected by real-time PCR.The expression levels of miR-483-5p in the nuclear and cytoplasmic fractions of Hep3B cells and Huh7 cells were detected by real-time PCR.The effect of miR-483-5p on P3 mRNA transcrip-tion was evaluated by nuclear run-on assay.The effect of miR-483-5p on the stability of P3 mRNA was analyzed by RNA stability assay.Furthermore,the effects of miR-483-5p on the viability, apoptosis, migration and invasion of Huh7 cells were investigated.RESULTS:Significamtly high levels of miR-483-5p and P3 mRNA were detected in the 5 human HCC cell lines and the human HCC tissues as compared with the human normal liver cell line HL-7702, and the MANT and NALT,respectively.Linear correlation analysis revealed that P 3 mRNA level was positively correlated to miR-483-5p level in the 5 human HCC cell lines and the human HCC tissues.miR-483-5p directly recognized the P3 mRNA 5'UTR to pro-mote gene expression.Overexpression of miR-483-5p resulted in a significant increase in P3 mRNA expression in a dose-dependent manner in the Huh7 cells and Hep3B cells.The mature miR-483-5p was present in both cytoplasm and nucleus of Hep3B cells and Huh7 cells.miR-483-5p induced nascent P3 mRNA transcription in the nucleus of Huh7 cells.miR-483-5p did not alter P3 mRNA stability in Huh7 cells.Furthermore,miR-483-5p led to increased viability,apoptosis inhi-bition,and enhanced migration and invasion abilities in the Huh 7 cells.CONCLUSION:High expression of miR-483-5p promotes the growth,migration and invasion of HCC cells in part through up-regulating P3 mRNA transcription,and is con-sequently involved in the development of HCC.

<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To observe the effect of pretreatment with puerarin on activation of LPS -induced RAW264. 7 cells and secretory cytokines, and discuss its anti-inflammatory mechanism.</p><p><b>METHOD</b>Well-grown RAW264. 7 cells in the exponential phase were collected and randomly divided them into the blank control group, the LPS group and the puerarin pretreatment + LPS group. The cellular toxic effect of puerarin on RAW264. 7 cells was examined by CCK-8 assay, cell morphology was detected by Giemsa stain method, the changes in TNF-alpha and MIP-2 were tested by ELISA, and the expression of NF-kappaB p65 mRNA were determined by qRT-PCR.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>When puerarin was cultured with 1 mg x L(-1) LPS at a concentration of lower than 400 micromol x L(-1), it had not showed the cellular toxic effect (P < 0.05). Compared with the control group, the LPS group could significantly change the morphology of RAW264. 7 cells (increase in cell body, irregular shape, with a large number of pseudopodia extending). After intervention, the puerarin 100 micromol x L(-1) group could significantly inhibit LPS-induced cell morphological changes, while the puerarin 200 micromol x L(-1) and 400 micromol x L(-1) puerarin groups showed more notable inhibitory effects. However, there was no obvious difference between the two groups. The pretreatment with puerarin could inhibit the expression of TNF-alpha and MIP-2 in cell supernatant and NF-kappaB p65 mRNA in cells (P < 0.05). With increase in the puerarin concentration, its inhibitory effect gradually grew (P < 0.05), but did not reach the level of the blank control group.</p><p><b>CONCLUSION</b>As a safe and effective natural anti-inflammatory drug, puerarin can significantly reduce the expression of inflammatory cytokines (TNF-alpha, MIP-2). Its mechanism may be related to the reduction of NF-kappaB p65 mRNA expression.</p>
