人食管鳞癌及正常食管组织中Notch1基因的mRNA及蛋白的表达

采用RT-PCR方法,分别从人食管鳞癌及正常食管组织中扩增 Notch1基因,结果表明Notch1基因在人食管鳞癌及正常食管组织中均有表达.此外,通过免疫组织化学方法检测不同病理特征的35例食管鳞癌、16例原位癌及35例癌周正常食管粘膜上皮组织Notch1蛋白表达的变化,结果显示:Notch1蛋白在正常食管粘膜上皮组织和原位癌中的阳性率分别为82.9%、68.7%,二者无显著性差异(P＞0.05),但均显著高于食管鳞癌组织37.1%(P＜0.05),食管鳞癌Notch1蛋白的低表达与肿瘤的直径、分期和发生部位无关(P＞0.05),但与淋巴结转移有关(P＜0.05).这表明在正常食管粘膜上皮组织中Notch1蛋白高表达,而在食管癌鳞中Notch1蛋白呈现低表达或不表达.该研究为进一步探明Notch1基因的表达对食管癌细胞的发生、发展的影响奠定了良好的基础.

Analysis of correlations between protein complex and protein-protein interaction and mRNA expression

Protein-protein interaction is a physical interaction of two proteins in living cells. In budding yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae, large-seale protein-protein interaction data have been obtained through high-throughput yeast two-hybrid systems (Y2H) and protein complex purification techniques based on mass-spectrometry. Here, we collect 11855 interactions between total 2617 proteins. Through seriate genome-wide mRNA expression data, similarity between two genes could be measured. Protein complex data can also be obtained publicly and can be translated to pair relationship that any two proteins can only exist in the same complex or not. Analysis of protein complex data, protein-protein interaction data and mRNA expression data can elucidate correlations between them. The results show that proteins that have interactions or similar expression patterns have a higher possibility to be in the same protein complex than randomized selected proteins, and proteins which have interactions and similar expression patterns are even more possible to exist in the same protein complex. The work indirates that comprehensive integration and analysis of public large-seale bioinformatical data, such as protein complex data, protein-protein interaction data and mRNA expression data, may help to uncover their relationships and common biological information underlying these data. The strategies described here may help to integrate and analyze other functional genomic and proteomic data, such as gene expression profiling, protein-localization mapping and large-scale phenotypic data, both in yeast and in other organisms.     

Inhibition of PKB/Akt activity involved in apigenininduced apoptosis in human gastric carcinoma cells

Apigenin is a flavonoid widely distributed in fruits and vegetables. It possesses growth inhibitory properties against numerous cancer cell lines. However,the molecular mechanism(s) by which api-genin elicits its effects have not been fully elucidated. Here we studied whether apigenin inhibits growth and induces apoptosis in human gastric carcinoma cells. We showed that the flavonoid inhibited growth of the cells and caused apoptosis,as evidenced by DNA Ladder,cleavage of pro-caspase-3 in a time-dependent manner. Induction of apoptosis was dependent on inhibition of the PKB/Akt activity. We found that while apigenin had no effect on the expression of Akt and Bad,it inhibited specific phosphorylation of the two proteins that are associated with pro-survival mechanisms. We propose that this important flavonoid induces apoptosis in gastric cancer cells by inhibiting Akt activity. Since Akt is often activated in cancers,our findings may have clinical implications.     

Phospholipid flippase associates with cisplatin resistance in plasma membrane of lung adenocarcinoma A549 cells

The fusion of the liposomes containing N-(7-nitro-2, 1, 3-benzoxadiazol-4-yl)-i ,2-hexadecanoylSn-glycero-3-1abeled phosphatidylethanolamine (NBD-PE) with A549 and A549/DDP cells was performed, and the activity of the phospholipid flippase in the plasma membrane of the cells was measured by fluorescence intensity change of NBDPE in the outer membrane. When A549 or A549/DDP cells containing N BD-PE were incubated at 37 C for 0, 30, 60 and 90 min, the fluorescence intensities in the outer membrane of the cells were 0%, 1.4%, 2.9% and 7.8% for A59cells, and 0%, 10.5 %, 15. 5 % and 18.3 % for A549/DDP cells respectively, demonstrating that the phospholipid flippase was distributed in the plasma membrane of As49 cells, but its activity in the drug-resistant A549/DDP cells was much higher than that in the A549 cells. When the A549/DDP cells were incubated with a multidrug resistance reverse agent, verapamil, for 60 min at 37C, the results showed that the NBD-PE in outer membrane decreased by 25.0% compared with the control's. Furthermore, when A549/DDP cells were incubated with 25 μmol/L cisplatin, which is a specific anticancer drug, the flippase activity decreased by 31.6%, and it further decreased with the increase of cisplatin concentration, suggesting that phospholipid flippase in the membrane might be related to the cisplatin-resistance of human lung adenocarcinoma cancer cells.     

Alteration of cadherin isoform expression and inhibition of gap junctions in stomach carcinoma cells

To explore cell malignant phenotype correlated changes of cell surface adhesion molecules and cell-cell communication in carcinogenesis, human stomach transformed and cancer cell lines were investigated. Expressions of E-cadherin, N-cadherin,α-catenin, β-catenin as well as gap junction (GJ) protein Cx32 were studied by utilization of immunoblotting, immunocytochemical and fluorescent dye transfer methods. Mammalian normal stomach mucosal cells expressed E-cadherin but not N-cadherin. E-cadherin im-munofluorescence was detected at cell membranous adher-ens junctions (AJ) where colocalization with immunofluo-rescent staining of inner surface adhesion plaque proteins αnd β-catenins was observed. The existence of E-cadherin/ catenin (α-, β-) protein complexes as AJ was suggested. In transformed and stomach cancer cells E-cadherin was inhibited, instead, N-cadherin was expressed and localized at membranous AJ where co-staining with α- and β-catenin fluorescence was observed. Formation of N-cadherin/catenin (α-, β-) protein complex at AJs of transformed and cancer cells was suggested. The above observations were further supported by immunoblotting results. Normal stomach muscosal and transformed cells expressed Cx32 at membranous GJ and were competent of gap junction communication (GJIC). In stomach cancer cells, Cx32 was inhibited and GJIC was defective. The results suggested that changes of signal pathways mediated by both cell adhesion and cell communication systems are associated intracellular events of stomach carcinogenesis. The alteration of cadherin isoform from E- to N-cadherin in transformed and stomach cancer cells is the first report.

Two-dimensional gel electrophoresis analysis of the proteomes expressed in the human hepatoma cell line BEL-7404 and normal liver cell line L-02

Proteome analysis technology has been used extensively in conducting discovery research of biology and has become one of the most essential technologies in functional genomics. The proteomes of the human hepatoma cell line BEL-7404 and the normal human liver cell line L-02 have been separated by high resolution two-dimensional gel electrophoresis (2-DE) with immobilized pH gradient isoelectric focusing (IPG-IEF) in the first dimension and sodium dodecyl sulfate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE) in the second dimension (IPG-DALT). The resulting images have been analyzed using 2-D analysis software. Quantitative analysis reveals that 7 protein spots are detected only in hepatoma BEL-7404 cells, 14 only in L-02 cells, and 78 protein spots show significant fluctuation in quantity in both cell lines (P< 0.01). These protein spots have been displayed on a proteome differential expression map. Analysis for the reproducibility of 2-DE indicates that the positional variability in the IEF dimension is 0.73 mm, while the variability in the SDS-PAGE dimension is 0.44 mm, and the quantitative variability is 17.6%–19.2%. These results suggest that the reproducibility of 2-DE has been suitable for the study of differential expression of proteomes. Proteome differential expression maps can be useful tools for disease diagnosis, drug-target validation analysis and biological process elucidation.     

维药异常黑胆质成熟剂对人肝癌HepG2细胞生物行为和Rho/ROCK信号通路的影响

 为探讨维药异常黑胆质成熟剂(ASM)对人肝癌细胞(HepG2)增殖、侵袭转移的影响及Rho/ROCK 信号传导通路相关蛋白表达影响,采用四甲基偶氮唑蓝(MMT)法检测不同浓度ASM(10、20、25、50 mg/mL)和10 μmol/L Y-27632 作用24、48、72 h后,对HepG2 细胞增殖的影响;采用扫描电镜技术和细胞侵袭实验测定ASM 不同剂量组和10 μmol/L Y-27632 作用24 h 癌细胞侵袭运动能力,Western Blot 检测ASM 不同剂量组和10 μmol/L Y-27632 作用24 h 癌细胞RhoA、ROCK1、ROCK2 的表达。结果显示,ASM 对肝癌细胞增殖有明显抑制作用,且表现为有明显的剂量效应关系:在10、20 mg/mL ASM 剂量组,ASM 药物作用24、48、72 h 后,HepG2 细胞增殖抑制作用随时间的延长而抑制增加,而25、50 mg/mL 剂量组,ASM 抑制细胞增殖作用不明显;ASM 抑制瘤细胞侵袭运动能力,扫描电镜结果显示ASM 抑制肿瘤细胞伪足的生长,ASM 中高剂量组ROCK1、ROCK2 的表达明显降低,RhoA 表达无明显变化。由此推论,ASM 对人肝癌细胞生长增殖和侵袭运动能力有抑制作用,其机制可能与ROCK酶表达降低有关。
