研究了重组人血管内皮抑素(恩度)对雌激素受体阳性的人乳腺癌MCF-7细胞株生长的抑制作用与其分子机制.采用MTT法、台盼蓝染色法和中性红染色法检测不同浓度恩度对MCF-7细胞生长的抑制作用,Hoechst33258荧光染色法和TUNEL分析法观察恩度诱导MCF-7细胞凋亡的形态变化,蛋白印迹法检测恩度作用的MCF-7细胞中与生长和凋亡相关蛋白的表达.结果表明,恩度显著性地抑制MCF-7细胞的生长并诱导细胞凋亡.此外,恩度显著性地减少MCF-7细胞VEGFR1,c-Met,ERα,Akt,NF-κB,Bcl-2和CyclinD1蛋白的表达,明显地上调Bax蛋白的表达,其作用的分子机制可能是通过抑制VEGFR1/c-Met/ERα-Akt-NF-κB信号传导通路,下调Bcl-2/Bax蛋白比率、降低CyclinD1蛋白的水平.

Caspase-12 mediates endoplasmic-reticulum-specific apoptosis and cytotoxicity by amyloid-beta

Apoptosis, or cellular suicide, is important for normal development and tissue homeostasis, but too much or too little apoptosis can also cause disease. The family of cysteine proteases, the so- called caspases, are critical mediators of programmed cell death, and thus far 14 family members have been identified. Some of these, such as caspase-8, mediate signal transduction downstream of death receptors located on the plasma membrane. Others, such as caspase-9, mediate apoptotic signals after mitochondrial damage. Stress in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) can also result in apoptosis. Here we show that caspase-12 is localized to the ER and activated by ER stress, including disruption of ER calcium homeostasis and accumulation of excess proteins in ER, but not by membrane- or mitochondrial-targeted apoptotic signals. Mice that are deficient in caspase-12 are resistant to ER stress-induced apoptosis, but their cells undergo apoptosis in response to other death stimuli. Furthermore, we show that caspase-12-deficient cortical neurons are defective in apoptosis induced by amyloid-beta protein but not by staurosporine or trophic factor deprivation. Thus, caspase-12 mediates an ER-specific apoptosis pathway and may contribute to amyloid-beta neurotoxicity.

人心脏发育候选基因hole在MAPK信号传导途径中的作用

MAPK信号传导途径是存在于真核细胞中的最广泛的一种调节机制,它与心血管的发育、心肌肥大等心脏疾病的发生有着密切的关系。利用荧光素酶的活性分析讨论人hole基因在MAPK信号途径中的作用。实验表明,COS-7细胞中过表达hole蛋白能够强烈抑制MAPK信号途径的2个下游转录因子AP-1和SRE的转录活性。hole的突变体报道基因分析表明,hole基因可能是通过其N′端的ERK结合区和C′端的多聚脯氨酸序列来行使其抑制作用的。研究表明,该基因可能通过参与MAPK信号途径而在心脏发育的过程中起作用。

Albumin resuscitation protects against traumatic/hemorrhagic shock-induced lung apoptosis in rats

Objective： To determine the effects of albumin administration on lung injury and apoptosis in traumatic/hemorrhagic shock （T/HS） rats. Methods： Studies were performed on an in vivo model of spontaneously breathing rats with induced T/HS; the rats were subjected to femur fracture, ischemia for 30 min, and reperfusion for 20 min with Ringer＇s lactate solution （RS） or 5% （w/v） albumin （ALB）, and the left lower lobes of the lungs were resected. Results： Albumin administered during reperfusion markedly attenuated injury of the lung and decreased the concentration of lactic acid and the number of in situ TdT-mediated dUTP nick-end labelling （TUNEL）-positive cells. Moreover, immunohistochemistry performed 24 h after reperfusion revealed increases in the level of nuclear factor κB （NF-κB）, and phosphorylated p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase （MAPK） in the albumin-untreated group was down-regulated by albumin treatment when compared with the sham rats. Conclusion： Resuscitation with albumin attenuates tissue injury and inhibits T/HS-induced apoptosis in the lung via the p38 MAPK signal transduction pathway that functions to stimulate the activation of NF-κB.     

Dynamic analysis of DNA damage induced miRNAs in colon cancer cells

It is known that microRNAs （miRNAs） expression profile shows substantial changes in cells under DNA damage. Here, we did miRNA microarray and quantitative real-time PCR to comprehensively identify the differentially expressed miRNAs in colon cancer cell lines HCT116 p53＋/＋ and HCT116 p53-/-. Cluster analysis revealed a panel of differentially expressed miRNAs which are regulated by p53 and/or UV-C induced DNA damage. These altered miRNAs tend to be located in chromosomes 13, X and 17. Moreover, pathways enrichment analysis estimated that MAPK pathway, focal adheren pathway, p53 pathway and Wnt pathway were mediated by these miRNAs to exert their functions in DNA damage response. Additionally, we found that miR- 320a, one of the UV-C induced miRNAs, play a role in protecting cells from DNA damage. Taken together, our results show that miRNAs are dynamic regulated in p53- dependent or -independent manners in different cell contexts and different situations following DNA damage.     

Development and maintenance of B and T lymphocytes requires antiapoptotic MCL-1

Regulated apoptosis is essential for both the development and the subsequent maintenance of the immune system. Interleukins, including IL-2, IL-4, IL-7 and IL-15, heavily influence lymphocyte survival during the vulnerable stages of VDJ rearrangement and later in ensuring cellular homeostasis, but the genes specifically responsible for the development and maintenance of lymphocytes have not been identified. The antiapoptotic protein MCL-1 is an attractive candidate, as it is highly regulated, appears to enhance short-term survival and functions at an apical step in genotoxic deaths. However, Mcl-1 deficiency results in peri-implantation lethality. Here we show that mice conditional for Mcl-1 display a profound reduction in B and T lymphocytes when MCL-1 is removed. Deletion of Mcl-1 during early lymphocyte differentiation increased apoptosis and arrested the development at pro-B-cell and double-negative T-cell stages. Induced deletion of Mcl-1 in peripheral B- and T-cell populations resulted in their rapid loss. Moreover, IL-7 both induced and required MCL-1 to mediate lymphocyte survival. Thus, MCL-1, which selectively inhibits the proapoptotic protein BIM, is essential both early in lymphoid development and later on in the maintenance of mature lymphocytes.     

The presence of malfolded proteins in the endoplasmic reticulum signals the induction of glucose-regulated proteins

Two glucose-regulated proteins, GRP78 and GRP94, are major constituents of the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) of mammalian cells. These proteins are synthesized constitutively in detectable amounts under normal growth conditions; they can also be induced under a variety of conditions of stress including glucose starvation and treatment with drugs that inhibit cellular glycosylation, with calcium ionophores or with amino-acid analogues. Unlike the closely-related heat shock protein (HSP) family, the GRPs are not induced significantly by high temperature. Recently, GRP78 has been identified as the immunoglobulin heavy chain binding protein (BiP) (ref. 5 and Y.K. et al., in preparation) which binds transiently to a variety of nascent, wild-type secretory and transmembrane proteins and permanently to malfolded proteins that accumulate within the ER. We have tested the hypothesis that the presence of malfolded proteins may be the primary signal for induction of GRPs by expressing wild-type and mutant forms of influenza virus haemagglutinin (HA) in simian cells. Only malfolded HAs, whose transport from the ER is blocked, induced the synthesis of GRPs 78 and 94. Additional evidence is presented that malfolding per se, rather than abnormal glycosylation, is the proximal inducer of this family of stress proteins.

白介素24对单个核细胞bcl-2表达的影响

为探讨白细胞介素24(IL-24)对成人急性白血病骨髓单个核细胞(BMMNC)体外生长的影响,并初步研究其作用机制。随机选取急性白血病住院患者15例,均经FAB分型或免疫学分型确诊,其中确诊未治的成人急性淋巴细胞白血病(ALL)患者5例,成人急性非淋巴细胞白血病(ANLL)患者10例。取患者骨髓,分离单个核细胞并培养,将不同浓度IL-24作用于BMMNC。应用四氮唑蓝(MTT)比色还原法、AnnexinV-FITC染色流式细胞术及逆转录-聚合酶联反应(RTPCR),分别检测IL-24对急性白血病BMMNC体外细胞增殖与凋亡及bcl-2表达的影响。结果显示,IL-24对体外培养的白血病BMMNC有明显的生长抑制作用,且呈时间、剂量依赖性,与阴性对照组相比差异有统计学意义(P0.05)。IL-24浓度50 ng/mL作用急性白血病BMMNC,48 h后凋亡率为39.21%±5.79%,高于对照组(P0.01)。不同浓度IL-24处理白血病BMMNC,能够降低bcl-2 mRNA的表达。IL-24体外培养的成人急性白血病BMMNC,有明显的生长抑制、诱导凋亡作用。由此可知,IL-24可以下调bcl-2 mRNA表达,可能是IL-24抑制急性白血病BMMNC生长作用的重要机制。     

Regulation between nitric oxide and MAPK signal transduction in mammals

Nitric oxide (NO) is an important biological messenger in the regulation of tissue homeostasis. It exhibits a wide range of effects during physiological and pathophysiological processes. Typical beneficial properties of NO include the regulation of vascular tone,the protection of cells against apoptosis, the modulation of immune responses, and the killing of microbial pathogens. On the other hand,NO may cause severe vasodilation and myocardial depression during bacterial sepsis or act as a cytotoxic and tissue-damaging molecule in autoimmune diseases. Mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) is a family of serine/threonine protein kinases that are widely distributed in mammalian cells. MAPK cascade plays pivotal roles in gene expression, cell proliferation, differentiation, neuronal survival and programmed cell death under a variety of experimental conditions. MAPKs transduce the signal for the cellular response to extracellular stresses or stimuli. The relation between them, however, has never been reviewed. Based on our researches and other reports in the field, we review their reciprocal regulatory functions.
