VEGF-induces up-expression of Survivin in differernt types of cell / 基础医学与临床

ABSTRACT

Objective To investigate the effects of VEGF-induced expression of Survivin by colon cancer cells(LOVO,HCT116) and human umbilical vein endothelial cells(HUVECs).Methods VEGF was used to stimulate the LOVO,HCT116,HUVECs.We used RT-PCR and Western blot to estimate the expression of Survivin in different cells,and immunocytochemistry to investigate the expression level and site of Survivin protein.ResultsSurvivin was expressed highly in the cytoplasm and was upregulated with the induction of VEGF.In HUVECs,Survivin expression was not obvious but significantly upregulated with the inductioin of VEGF in the cytoplasm and nucleus.Conclusion The expression of Survivin mRNA and protein are upregulated by VEGF stimulation.The level and distribution of Survivin are different in tumor cell lines and non-tumorgenicity cells.
