RESUMO

<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To evaluate the effect of metformin on the apoptosis of renal cell carcinoma (RCC) cells in vitro and its mechanisms.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>Fluorescent microscopy and flow cytometry were used to examine the changes in the apoptosis of 786-O cells after metformin treatment. The possible signaling molecules involved in this process were analyzed by immunoblot analysis of AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) signaling and caspase 9.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>Metformin induced apoptosis and caspase 9 activation in 786-O cells in low-serum medium but not in normal-serum medium. Metformin also induced AMPK activation in 786-O cells, but this activation was not associated with the cell proliferation inhibition or apoptosis-inducing effect of metformin.</p><p><b>CONCLUSION</b>Metformin can induce apoptosis of RCC cells in vitro, suggesting its potential as a therapeutic agent for RCC.</p>

RESUMO

<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To observe the effect of the antibody TSP-2 against a single epitope of mouse Toll-like receptor 2 extracellular domain (mTLR2ECD) on the expression of nuclear factor-kappa B (NF-κB) and cytokines in the intestinal tissue of septic mice.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>Male BALB/c mice were randomly divided into 4 groups, namely the sham-operated group, model group, TSP-2 treatment group and rabbit IgG treatment group. Sepsis was induced by cecal ligation and puncture (CLP), and at 6, 12 or 24 h after the operation, the ileal tissues were harvested from the mice for HE staining. NF-κB expression was detected with immunohistochemistry. Tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) and interleukin-6 (IL-6) mRNA expressions were detected with qRT-PCR and their protein expressions by ELISA.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>The NF-κB expression in the intestinal tissue significantly increased in the model group as compared with that in the sham- operated group, and decreased after TSP-2 treatment. The model group also showed significantly increased expression levels of TNF-α and IL-6 mRNA and protein in the intestinal tissue (P<0.05), which were lowered by TSP-2 (P<0.05) but not by rabbit IgG treatment (P>0.05).</p><p><b>CONCLUSION</b>The TSP-2 antibody can protect the intestine and delay the development of sepsis by inhibiting NF-κB activation and down-regulating TNF-α and IL-6 expressions in mice.</p>

RESUMO

<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To observe the effect of the antibody TSP-2 against a single epitope of mouse Toll-like receptor 2 extracellular domain (mTLR2ECD) on the inflammation in mice with zymosan A-induced peritonitis.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>In mice with peritonitis induced by intraperitoneal injection of zymosan A, pretreatments with PBS, normal rabbit IgG and TSP-2 antibody at two different doses (2.5 and 5.0 mg/kg) were administered via the tail vein. Six hours after intraperitoneal injection of zymosan A, Evans blue was injected through the tail vein, and the frequency of writhing of the mice within 20 min were recorded. The mice were then sacrificed for peritoneal lavage, and the lavage fluid was collected to assess the exudation of Evans blue in the supernatant. The peritoneal leukocyte count, mast cell degranulation and release of such inflammatory mediators as platelet activating factor (PAF) and tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNFalpha) in the lavage fluid were observed by cell counting, specific cell staining, immunohistochemistry and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA).</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>Compared with PBS or rabbit IgG groups, TSP-2 treatment resulted in significantly reduced writhing response of the mice and lowered Evans blue exudation and leukocyte count in the peritoneal lavage, with also decreased degranulation of the mast cells induced by C48/80.</p><p><b>CONCLUSION</b>TSP-2 antibody against a single epitope of mTLR2ECD inhibits the inflammatory response in mice with zymosan A-induced peritonitis.</p>

<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To construct different mutants of human p53 for expression in eukaryotic cells and investigate the effects of these mutants on stress-induced cell apoptosis.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>Human p53 cDNA was amplified by PCR and cloned into pcDNA3/HA vector following the routine procedures. The Ser15 and Ser46 of p53 were mutated to Ala and identified by enzyme digestion and PCR, and these mutants were expressed in NIH3T3 cells and detected by Western blotting. After transfection with the plasmids of different p53 mutants, the NIH3T3 cells were double-stained with AnnexinV-FITC and propidium iodide for apoptotic analysis using flow cytometry.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>The recombinant plasmids of HA-tagged wild-type p53, HA-p53(WT), and its mutants, HA-p53(S15A) and HA-p53(S46A), were successfully constructed and expressed efficiently in NIH3T3 cells. The apoptotic ratio of p53(WT)-transfected cells induced by arsenite increased and that of p53(S15A)-transfected cells decreased significantly after arsenite stimulation, but no significant changes occurred in the apoptosis of p53(S46A)-transfected cells.</p><p><b>CONCLUSION</b>The phosphorylation on Ser15 of p53 plays an important role in mediating arsenite-induced cell apoptosis.</p>

RESUMO

<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To study the regulatory role of BRCA1 in the expression of progesterone receptors A and B (PRA and PRB) in breast cancer cells.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>Breast cancer MCF-7 cells were transfected with pFlag-CMV2-BRCA1 wt plasmid containing a full-length BRCA1 cDNA or with BRCA1-specific siRNA via lipofectamine 2000 to induce overexpression or suppressed expression of BRCA1, respectively. Twenty-four hours after the transfection, the cells were incubated in fresh culture medium containing 100 nmol/L progesterone for 24 h. The total RNA extract or whole cell lysate was prepared for detecting BRCA1, PRA and PRB expressions using RT-PCR and Western blotting.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>The protein expressions of PRA and PRB were significantly decreased whereas their mRNA expressions remained unchanged in MCF-7 cells overexpressing BRCA1. In MCF-7 cells with BRCA1 knock-down, in contrast, the PRA and PRB protein expressions were markedly increased.</p><p><b>CONCLUSION</b>In breast cancer cells, exogenous and endogenous BRCA1 can both down-regulate the expressions of PRA and PRB at the protein level.</p>

RESUMO

<p><b>BACKGROUND</b>In most colorectal carcinomas, the level of phospholipase C (PLC)-gamma 1 expression is greatly elevated. Increased expression of PLC-gamma 1 may play an important role in colon carcinogenesis, but the mechanism is not well known. The aim of this study was to evaluate the role of PLC-gamma 1 in colon carcinogenesis by using recombinant lentivirus that stably suppressed the PLC-gamma 1 expression in human colorectal carcinoma LoVo cells.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>Recombinant lentivirus producing PLC-gamma 1 siRNA were prepared. After LoVo cells were transduced by each lentivirus, stably transduced cells were selected by Blasticidin. The protein and mRNA expression of PLC-gamma 1 were examined by Western-blot and reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) analysis, and the effects of the lentivirus on the cell adhesion, migration and apoptosis were analyzed.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>Stable LoVo cell line deficient in PLC-gamma 1, was established. Notably, PLC-gamma 1 was silenced without affecting the levels of other subtypes of PLC so that the role of PLC-gamma 1 in colon carcinogenesis could be examined. Silencing of endogenous PLC-gamma 1 resulted in efficient inhibition of the adhesion and migration of LoVo cells in vitro and a great increase of 5-fluorouracil induced apoptosis (30%-40%) of LoVo cells.</p><p><b>CONCLUSIONS</b>PLC-gamma 1 may play an important role in metastasis and anti-apoptosis in human colorectal carcinomas.</p>

RESUMO

<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To explore the expression of phospholipase C-gamma 1 (PLC-gamma1) alternative splicing variants in rats.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>According to the sequence of human PLCG1 splicing variant, specific primers for rat PLC-gamma1 were designed and synthesized. The rat RNA was reverse transcribed into cDNA, which was amplified using the specific primers, and the PCR products were sequenced and analyzed using BLAST and bioinformatics methods. Totally 21 rat tissue samples were examined, including the heart, liver, lung, kidney, eyeball, and brain obtained in 3 different embryonic stages, 7 different early postnatal stages, and in adulthood.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>The result did not show that rat PLC-gamma1 had the same splicing variant (PLC-gamma1a, NM_002660) as human does.</p><p><b>CONCLUSIONS</b>The same splicing variant of PLC-gamma1 detectable in human may not exist in rats, and the pre-mRNA may undergo splicing resulting predominantly in PLC-gamma1b mRNA. Very likely, the alternative splicing site of rat PLC-gamma1 is not identical to that of human.</p>

RESUMO

<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To explore the role of phospholipase C-gamma1 (PLC-gamma1) in tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha)-induced apoptosis of human glioma SWO cells.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>The PLC-gamma1 pathway was blocked by U73122 in SWO cells, and the inhibitory effect of TNF-alpha on SWO glioma cell proliferation with or without U73122 treatment was investigated by MTT assay. The cell apoptosis induced by TNF-alpha along or in combination with U73122 was detected by flow cytometry with PI staining. The expression of caspase-3 and Bcl-2 was detected by Western blotting.</p><p><b>RESULTS AND CONCLUSION</b>U73122 can sensitize SWO glioma cells to TNF-alpha-induced apoptosis. Blocking the PLC-gamma1 pathway may not induce apoptosis of SWO glioma cells, but can sensitize SWO glioma cells to small-dose TNF-alpha-induced apoptosis, the mechanism of which may involve down-regulation of bcl-2.</p>

RESUMO

To investigate the expression of phospholipase C-gamma1 (PLC-gamma1) in mouse embryonic tissues, serial tissue sections were prepared routinely for immunocytochemistry for PLC-gamma1. The results showed that PLC-gamma1 was expressed in the cartilage, skeletal muscles, myocardium, the collecting tubule of the kidney, connective tissues and the brain, suggesting the important role PLC-gamma1 and the related signal pathway may play in the development of mouse embryonic tissues.

RESUMO

Objective: To investigate the function and mechanism of phospholipase Cγ1 (PLCγ1) in cell-matrix adhesion in colorectal cancer. Methods: Highly metastatic colorectal cancer cell line LoVo and lowly metastatic colorectal cancer cell line SW480 were subjected to cell-matrix adhesion assay. U73122 (a specific inhibitor of PLC) and pyrrolidine dithiocarbamate (PDTC) (an inhibitor of NF-κB) were used to study the effect of PLCγ1 and NF-κB on cell-matrix adhesion. Furthermore, Western blot and gel electrophoresis mobility shift assay (EMSA) were performed to detect the mechanism of PLCγ1 in colorectal cancer cell adhesion to matrix. Results: Inhibition of PLCγ1 or NF-κB resulted in reduction of cell-matrix adhesion in a dose-dependent manner in LoVo cells(P<0.05), but had no marked effect on SW480 cells. Western blot analysis showed that epidermal growth factor (EGF) stimulated the phosphorylation of PLCγ1 in LoVo. The results of EMSA indicated that inhibition of PLCγ1 signaling pathway also down-regulated the activity of NF-κB while EGF reversed the function. Conclusion:These data suggest that PLCγ1 plays a pivotal role in the EGF-induced cell-matrix adhesion of highly metastatic colorectal cancer cells and that NF-κB is also functional in this signaling pathway.
