Galectin-3 stabilizes heterogeneous nuclear ribonucleoprotein Q to maintain proliferation of human colon cancer cells

Comparative analysis of proteomes using 5-fluorouracil (5-FU)-resistant human colon cancer cell line revealed that decreased galectin-3 expression was significantly associated with retarded proliferation. However, in the presence of 5-FU proliferation rate of cells with suppressed galectin-3 expression did not differ from that of cells with normal galectin-3 expression, even galectin-3 suppression augmented apoptosis. Mechanism by which galectin-3 regulates cancer cell proliferation has been identified in immunoprecipitates of the anti-galectin-3 antibody. Heterogeneous nuclear ribonucleoprotein Q (hnRNP Q) was identified as a protein interacting with galectin-3. Interestingly, while galectin-3 protein was not affected by the hnRNP Q level, its suppression was accompanied by a decrease in hnRNP Q expression. The present study demonstrates that galectin-3 stabilizes hnRNP Q via complex formation, and reduction in the hnRNP Q level leads to slow proliferation and less susceptibility to 5-FU.

Antizyme inhibitor: mysterious modulator of cell proliferation

In contrast to the considerable interest in the oncogene ornithine decarboxylase (ODC) and in the family of antizymes with regard to cell proliferation and tumorigenesis, the endogenous antizyme inhibitor (AZI) has been less well studied. AZI is highly homologous to the enzyme ODC but does not possess any decarboxylase activity. Elevated ODC activity is associated with most forms of human malignancies. Antizymes bind ODC, inhibit ODC activity and promote the ubiquitin-independent degradation of ODC. Consequently they are proposed as tumor suppressors. In particular, the most studied member of the antizyme family, antizyme 1, has been demonstrated to play a role in tumor suppression. AZI inactivates all members of the antizyme family, reactivates ODC and prevents the proteolytic degradation of ODC, which may suggest a role for AZI in tumor progression.

转录靶向性KDR启动子调控双自杀基因治疗肺癌的实验研究

从人肺癌细胞株中克隆KDR基因的启动子(kinasedomainreceptorpromotor,KDRp),构建KDR基因启动子调控的双自杀基因(CDglyTK)真核表达质粒pcDNA3-KDRp-CdglyTK,将其导入ECV304、L9981和NL9980细胞,建立相应的转基因细胞系,并应用不同的前药处理。体内、外实验结果显示:KDR启动子调控的双自杀基因在KDR高表达人肺癌细胞和人脐静脉内皮细胞靶向表达,而在KDR不表达的正常细胞或正常血管内皮细胞中未检测到双自杀基因表达;联合应用5-FC和GCV处理,对转双自杀基因细胞的杀伤作用显著高于单独应用5-FC或GCV,且二者显示了良好的药物协同作用。     

蝙蝠葛酚性碱对胃癌细胞SGC-7901 COX-2表达的影响

为探讨蝙蝠葛酚性碱(PAMD)抗胃癌的作用机理,通过实时定量PCR观察PAMD对胃癌细胞株SGC-7901 COX-2 mRNA表达的影响.结果表明,PAMD各剂量组均能下调COX-2 mRNA的表达,其中PAMD(20)剂量组下调COX-2的作用有统计学差异,且优于阳性对照组.PAMD抗胃癌的作用机理可能与其抑制COX-2基因表达有关.     

乳苣水提取物对人肺癌细胞SPCA-1生长的影响

为了探讨乳苣水提取物对体外培养的肺癌细胞SPCA-1的影响,分别用质量浓度为0.5、1、1.25和1.5 g/L(mg/m L)的乳苣水提取物处理SPCA-1细胞,24 h后通过CCK-8法检测发现,与对照组(未处理)相比,处理组细胞增殖活力均显著下降(P0.001).流式细胞仪检测(AnnexinⅤ-FITC/PI染色)发现随着处理浓度的增加,处理组细胞凋亡率都显著提高(P0.05),且呈剂量依赖关系.为了探索乳苣是否对体内肿瘤有抑制作用,构建了SPCA-1细胞的裸鼠皮下瘤模型,通过观察喂食乳苣水提取物后皮下瘤的生长情况发现,与未喂食乳苣水提取物的对照鼠相比,喂食5周后的实验组的瘤体得到明显的抑制.实验结果表明乳苣水提取物能够抑制体外和体内生长的SPCA-1细胞,可以作为一种潜在的预防和治疗肺癌的药物做进一步研究.     

王瓜根抗癌糖蛋白的生理生化特征及其对肺腺癌细胞杀伤作用初步研究

经电泳分析,王瓜根活性蛋白可分为两种:其一是酸性蛋白,具细胞毒作用,等电点测定 P~I 为3.2,PAGE 电泳测定分子量为6.76×10~4道尔顿;其二是碱性蛋白,等电点为9.3,PAGE 电泳测定分子量为1.58×10~4道尔顿;微具细胞毒作用。王瓜根活性蛋白属糖蛋白,经纸层析和薄层硅胶 H 层析证实含半乳糖和木糖。扫描电镜观察和光镜连续观察,显示酸性蛋白对肺腺癌细胞的体外培齐有杀伤作用,当培养液含120μg/ml 时杀伤率达58%,对正常肺细胞作用弱;碱性蛋白对肺腺癌细胞杀伤作用较差,在同样剂量时只有47.6%杀伤率。新鲜王瓜根原汁有很强的杀伤肺腺癌细胞作用,剂量在26g/ml 时,杀伤率达60%;当提高到105g/ml 时,杀伤率达74%。试验结果提示:王瓜根活性抗癌物质,除指三萜—葫芦素之外,可能还存在另一种活性物质。这种活性抗癌物质对肺腺癌细胞表面微绒毛无作用,经处理24小时后,癌细胞开始变形,表现为不同程度内陷,32小时癌细胞膜开始溶解,48小时癌细胞溶成团块。
