RESUMO
Objective:To investigate the effect of c-fos on the proliferation and migration of oral squamous cell carcinoma and potential mechansism.Methods:The expression of c-fos,CyclinD1 and p16 in 60 oral squamous cell carcinoma samples and 60 oral mucosa tissue samples was examined by immunohistochemistry.HN6 and SCC9 cells were respectively transfected with siRNA-c-fos and siRNA-scramble,then were respectively divided into control group,siRNA-scramble group and siRNA-c-fos group.The mRNA and protein expressions of CyclinD1 and p16 were decteted,meanwhile cell proliferation and migration were tested.Results:Compared with the oral mucosa tissue samples,the expressions of CyclinD1 and c-fos were increased in the carcinoma samples,while the expression of p16 was reduced.Compared with control group,the expressions of CyclinD1 in siRNA-c-fos group were significantly reduced,while p16 enpression was increased,with the inhibition of cell proliferation and migration.Conclusion:c-fos may regulate pl6/CyclinD1 signaling pathways and promote the proliferation and migration of oral squamous cell carcinoma.
RESUMO
Objective:To investigate the effects of IGF-1 and IL-1β on the proliferation and apoptosis of cultured human condylar chondrocytes( CCs) of temporomandibular joint( TMJ) . Methods:Cultured CCs were derived from human TMJ condylar cartilage tis-sue, and identified by immunocytochemistry staining. The cultured cells were divided into 6 groups:control group, IL-1β(10 μg/L) group and IL-1 group (10 μg/L) + IGF-1 group (0, 1, 10, 50 and 100 μg/L, respectively). The cell proliferation ability was de-tected by MTT assay. The cell cycle and apoptosis were detected by flow cytometry. The expression of apoptosis-associated factors Bcl-2, Bax and p38 MAPK/NF-κB proteins were detected by Western blot. Results:Type II collagen was positively expressed in cultured CCs. IL-1β treatment decreased cell proliferation, increased cell apoptosis with concomitant increase of the percentage of early apopto-sis and late apoptotic cells, increased Caspase-3 expression, decreased Bcl-2/Bax ratio, and increased the expression of p38 MAPK/NF-κB proteins. Whereas, with 1-100 μg/L IGF-1 pretreatment, the proliferation ability and Bcl-2/Bax ratio of the cells were in-creased(P<0. 05), the apoptotic cells were decreased, the expression of Caspase-3 and p38 MAPK/NF-κB proteins was decreased ( P<0. 05) in a dose-dependent manner. Conclusion:IGF-1 may inhibit IL-1β-induced cell apoptosis and attenuate the activation of p38 MAPK/NF-κB of human condylar chondrocytes.
RESUMO
Objective:To explore the effect of siRNA targeting myeloid cell leukemia-1(Mcl-1)on the biological behavior of salivary adenoid cystic carcinoma cells.Methods:The chemically synthesized Mcl-1-siRNA was transfected into salivary adenoid cystic carci-noma SACC-2 cells.The expression levels of Mcl-1-mRNA and Mcl-1protein were examined by Real-time PCR and western blotting respectively.MTT assay,transwell chamber and flow cytometry were used to determine the effect of Mcl-1-siRNA on SACC-2 cell pro-liferation,migration and apoptosis.Results:Compared with the control group,liposome group and NC-siRNA group,SACC-2 cell proliferation rate of Mcl-1-siRNA group was obviously slowed down.48 h after transfection,the migration of SACC-2 cells in Mcl-1-siRNA group(39 ±9.0)were lower than that in control group(69 ±6.0).The apoptosis rate of Mcl-1-siRNA group(8.6%)was sig-nificantly higher than that in control group(1.9%).Conclusion:Silence Mcl-1 can inhibit cell proliferation and migration and pro-mote apoptosis of salivary adenoid cystic carcinoma cells.
RESUMO
Objective:To explore the effects of cysteine-rich 6 1 (Cyr6 1 )on biological behavior of human adenoid cystic carcinoma ACC-LM and ACC2 cells.Methods:The chemically synthesized Cyr6 1-siRNA was transfected into ACC-LM and ACC2 cells.Cell proliferation was measured by the MTT method,the invasive ability was evaluated by Transwell chamber assay,and cell apoptosis was analyzed using flow cytometry by double staining with Annexin V and propidium iodide.Results:Cyr61-siRNA significantly down-regu-lated Cyr61 protein expression in ACC-LMand ACC2 cells.Cyr61-siRNA markedly inhibited the proliferation and invasion of the cells, however,there was no significant difference in cell apoptosis between Cyr6 1-siRNA and control groups.Conclusion:Cyr6 1 promote the proliferation and invasion of adenoid cystic cancer cells.
