AIM:To investigate the effect of Krüppel-like factor 4 (KLF4) on the viability, apoptosis and cisplatin chemosensitivity of colorectal cancer cells. METHODS:KLF4 expression in colorectal cancer cell lines Caco2, SW480 and HCT116 was detected by Western blot. The SW480 cells were divided into pcDNA3.1 group (transfected with pcDNA3.1 empty plasmid), pcDNA3.1-KLF4 group (transfected with pcDNA3.1-KLF4 expression plasmid) and pcDNA3.1-KLF4+cisplatin group (treated with 1 mg/L cisplatin for 48 h after pcDNA3.1-KLF4 was transfected into SW480 cells). The protein levels of KLF4, p-IκBα, cyclin D1 and survivin were determined by Western blot. The cell viability was measured by CCK-8 assay. The apoptotic rate was analyzed by flow cytometry. The content of reactive oxygen species(ROS) was measured by DCFH-DA probe. RESULTS:The expression of KLF4 in the colorectal cancer cells were significantly lower than that in the human colon mucosal epithelial NCM460 cells (P<0.05). Compared with pcDNA3.1 group, the protein expression of KLF4 in pcDNA3.1-KLF4 group was significantly increased (P<0.05). Compared with pcDNA3.1 group, the cell viability and the protein expression of cyclin D1 and survivin were significantly decreased, and the apoptotic rate, the content of ROS and the protein level of p-IκBα were significantly increased in pcDNA3.1 group (P<0.05). Compared with pcDNA3.1-KLF4 group, the cell viability and the expression of cyclin D1 and survivin proteins were significantly decreased, and the apoptotic rate, the content of ROS and the protein level of p-IκBα were significantly increased in pcDNA3.1-KLF4+cisplatin group (P<0.05). CONCLUSION:Upregulation of KLF4 gene expression in colorectal cancer cells reduces the cell viability, induces apoptosis and increases the chemosensitivity of the cells to cisplatin. The mechanism may be related to the enhancement of intracellular ROS content and down-regulaton of the phosphorylation level of IκBα, the key molecule of NF-κB signaling pathway.  相似文献

AIM:To investigate the effect of capsaicin on lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced activation of cultured endothelial cells of mouse aorta in vitro. METHODS:The endothelial cells were isolated from mouse aorta and cultured in vitro, and the specific cell markers of the cells were identified by immunofluorescence staining. The cells were stimulated with LPS (100 μg/L) combined with or without capsaicin, and the cells and supernatant were collected at 12 h, 24 h and 48 h. The levels of soluble intercellular adhesion molecule 1 (sICAM-1), soluble vascular cell adhesion molecule 1 (sVCAM-1) and soluble P-selectin (sP-selectin) in the supernatant were measured by ELISA. The levels of nuclear NF-κB p65 and cytopasmic p-IκBα and IκBα were detected by Western blotting. RESULTS:Compared with control group, the levels of sP-selectin, sICAM-1 and sVCAM-1 in LPS group were significantly increased (P<0.05), and LPS promoted the expression of sICAM-1 and sVCAM-1 in a time-dependent manner. Compared with LPS group at the same time point, capsaicin inhibited the expression of sP-selectin, sICAM-1 and sVCAM-1 in a dose-dependent manner. Compared with control group, the protein levels of NF-κB p65 and p-IκBα in LPS group at 24 h were significantly increased (P<0.05), while the protein level of IκBα in LPS group at 24 h were significantly decreased (P<0.05). Compared with LPS group, capsaicin decreased the protein levels of NF-κB p65 and p-IκBα and increased the protein level of IκBα in a dose-dependent manner. CONCLUSION: Capsaicin has a protective effect on LPS-induced vascular endothelial cell activation, which potentially contributes to the suppression of IκBα degradation and NF-κB p65 nuclear translocation.  相似文献

AIM: To investigate the effect of high mobility group box-1 protein (HMGB1) on the expression of nuclear factor-κB (NF-κB) in BV-2 cells stimulated with amyloid β-protein (Aβ)25-35. METHODS: Cultured BV-2 cells in logarithmic growth phase were divided into 4 groups:normal cell group (without any treatment), model group (treated with Aβ25-35 at 40 μmol/L), RNA interference (RNAi) group (conducted with HMGB1-siRNA followed by Aβ25-35 stimulation) and solvent control group (treated with 0.1% DMSO). After treatment with Aβ25-35 for 24 h, the protein levels of HMGB1 and NF-κB in BV-2 cells were determined by Western blot. RESULTS: Aβ25-35 at 40 μmol/L was used to stimulate BV-2 cells. The GFP fluorescence-tagged HMGB1-siRNA (30 nmol/L) was used to transfect BV-2 cells and its transfection efficiency was about 80%~90%. The results of Western blot showed that the protein level of HMGB1 was significantly decreased after the interference of siRNA fragment (P<0.05). The protein levels of HMGB1 and nucleic NF-κB p65 were dramatically increased in BV-2 cells stimulated with Aβ25-35 (P<0.05). After RNA interference with HMGB1, the expression of HMGB1 and nucleic NF-κB p65 were significantly decreased in BV-2 cells stimulated with Aβ25-35 (P<0.05). CONCLUSION: RNA interference with HMGB1 reduces the expression of nucleic NF-κB in BV-2 cells stimulated with Aβ25-35.  相似文献

AIM: To investigate the clinical significance of stathmin 1 (STMN1) expression in cervical cancer and the influence of its expression on the viability and apoptosis of cervical cancer cells. METHODS: Western blot was used to detect the protein expression of STMN1 in cervical cancer tissues, and the relationship between the expression and clinical characteristics of cervical cancer was analyzed. STMN1-siRNA was transfected into cervical squamous-cell carcinoma SiHa cells. The protein levels of STMN1, STAT3, p-STAT3 and survivin were determined by Western blot after transfection for 48 h. The cell viability was measured by MTT assay. The apoptosis was analyzed by flow cytometry. DCFH-DA probe was used to detect the level of reactive oxygen species (ROS). RESULTS: The protein expression of STMN1 in cervical cancer tissues was significantly higher than that in paracancerous tissues (P<0.01). The STMN1 protein expression level was not correlated with age and histological types of cervical cancer patients, but was related to clinical stage, histological differentiation and lymph node metastasis (P<0.01). Transfection with STMN1-siRNA significantly reduced the expression of STMN1 in SiHa cells. Compared with control group, the cell viability in STMN1-siRNA group was significantly decreased, the apoptotic rate and ROS content were increased, and the protein levels of p-STAT3 and survivin were down-regulated (P<0.01). However, no significant difference of the STAT3 protein level was observed between STMN1-siRNA group and control group. CONCLUSION: STMN1 is highly expressed in cervical cancer, and its expression is related to clinical stage, histological differentiation and lymph node metastasis. Inhibition of STMN1 expression reduces the viability and promotes apoptosis of cancer cells by down-regulating STAT3 signaling pathway.  相似文献

AIM: To study the effect of p65 gene silencing by adeno-associated virus type 9 (AAV9)-mediated RNA interference on angiotensin Ⅱ (Ang Ⅱ; 10-6 mol/L for 24 h)-induced apoptosis of rat ventricular H9c2 myocytes, and to elucidate the possible mechanism. METHODS: The H9c2 cells were transfected with rAAV9-eGFP and rAAV9-eGFP-NF-κB p65-siRNA at multiplicity of infection (MOI)=4×106 vg/cell. eGFP expression in the cells was observed under an inverted fluorescence microscope, and the percentage of eGFP positive cells was determined by flow cytometry. The expression of p65 was determined by Western blot. CCK-8 assay was used to measured the viability of transfected H9c2 cells. The apoptosis of the cells transfected with the virus and with Ang Ⅱ stimulation was analyzed by flow cytometry. RESULTS: The cells began to exhibit eGFP expression on the 2nd day after transfection. The fluorescence intensity was increased over the time of transfection. eGFP expression reached the maximum on the 5th day, and the transfection efficiency was (52.7±1.9)% at this time point. Compared with blank control group, no significant effect of AAV9 on the viability of H9c2 cells was observed. In resting state, p65 in the H9c2 cells had a certain activity. After Ang Ⅱ stimulation, the activity of p65 was obviously increased, while transfection of rAAV9-eGFP-NF-κB p65-siRNA effectively inhibited the expression of p65. The apoptosis of H9c2 cells in Ang Ⅱ stimulation group was significantly higher than that in blank control group, while transfection of rAAV9-eGFP-NF-κB p65-siRNA effectively inhibited apoptosis of H9c2 cells. CONCLUSION: Transfection of rAAV9-eGFP-NF-κB p65-siRNA effectively inhibits the expression of p65 gene of NF-κB pathway in the H9c2 cells without causing cell growth inhibition, and reduces the apoptosis induced by Ang Ⅱ.  相似文献

AIM: To observe the effects of TNF-α/nuclear factor-κB(NF-κB)/matrix metalloproteinase-2(MMP-2) pathway on the expression of MMP-2 in the mice with viral myocarditis. METHODS: Six-week-old inbred male mice were randomly assigned to control and myocarditis group. The mice in myocarditis group and control group were intraperitoneally inoculated with 0.1 mL 10-5.69 TCID50/mL coxsackievirus B3 and vehicle (PBS), respectively. Ten mice were sacrificed at the 4th and 10th days after injection. The blood and heart specimens were harvested. The serum content of TNF-α was measured by ELISA. The myocardial levels of MMP-2, NF-κB p65 and IκBα were determined by Western blot. RESULTS: Compared with control group, the protein expression of MMP-2 and NF-κB p65 in the myocardium and the serum content of TNF-α were significantly increased in myocarditis group (P<0.05). The protein expression of IκBα was lower in myocarditis group than that in control group (P<0.05).CONCLUSION: TNF-α, NF-κB p65 and MMP-2 were higher in the mice with acute viral myocarditis. The increased expression of them might be involved in the pathogenesis of viral myocarditis.  相似文献

AIM: To investigate the mechanism of emodin on the protection of glucose-deficient/anoxic microglia. METHODS: A microglia BV2 cell model induced by hypoglycemia/hypoxia (HH) was established. The glucose-deficient/anoxic cells treated with emodin were labeled as HH+emodin (20, 40 and 80 μmol/L) groups. The BV2 cells with TLR4 over-expression treated with emodin under hypoglycemia/hypoxia condition was labeled as HH+pcDNA-TLR4+ emodin (40 μmol/L) group. The cell viability was measured by MTT assay. Lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) and tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) levels were detected by ELISA. The apoptosis was analyzed by flow cytometry. The protein levels of Bax, Bcl-2, TLR4, p-IκB and IκB were determined by Western blot. RESULTS: Compared with HH+DMSO group, the viability was significantly increased, the levels of LDH and TNF-α and apoptotic rate were significantly decreased, the protein levels of Bax, TLR4 and p-IκB were significantly decreased, the protein level of Bcl-2 was significantly increased in HH+emodin groups (P<0.05). Over-expression of TLR4 reversed the effect of emodin on promoting the viability and inhibiting apoptosis in the BV2 cells. CONCLUSION: Emodin has a protective effect on hypoglycemia/hypoxia induced microglia, and its mechanism may be related to the inactivation of TLR4/NF-κB signaling pathway.  相似文献

AIM:To investigate the effects of ixazomib on the apoptosis and NF-κB signaling pathway in pancreatic cancer cells. METHODS:Human pancreatic cancer cell lines CFPAC-1 and PANC-1 were cultured, and the cells were treated with ixazomib at 0, 10, 20, 30 and 40 nmol/L for 12, 18, 24 and 48 h. The expression of NF-κB p65, IκB kinase (IKK), Bax and caspase-3 in the cells at mRNA and protein levels was determined by RT-qPCR and Western blot. The cell viability was measured by CCK-8 assay. The apoptosis was analyzed by flow cytometry. RESULTS:Treatment with ixazomib at 10~40 nmol/L inhibited the viability of PANC-1 cells and CFPAC-1 cells, and the inhibitory rate was increased significantly with the increases in the concentration and time (P<0.05). Compared with the control cells, treatment with ixazomib significantly increased the apoptotic rates of PANC-1 cells and CFPAC-1 cells in a dose- dependent manner (P<0.05), and significantly decreased the mRNA expression levels of NF-κB p65 and IKK in the PANC-1 cells and CFPAC-1 cells (P<0.05), while the mRNA expression levels of apoptotic factors Bax and caspase-3 in the PANC-1 cells and CFPAC-1 cells were significantly increased (P<0.05). The results of Western blot showed that treatment with ixazomib significantly decreased the protein levels of NF-κB p65 and IKK in the PANC-1 cells and CFPAC-1 cells (P<0.05), which was consistent with the results of mRNA expression. The protein levels of apoptosis factors Bax and caspase-3 in the CFPAC-1 cells were significantly increased (P<0.05), and the protein level of caspase-3 in the PANC-1 cells was increased significantly (P<0.05). However, Bax protein did not increase significantly in 10 nmol/L ixazomib group. CONCLUSION:Ixazomib, a proteasome inhibitor, inhibits the viability of pancreatic cancer cells and promotes apoptosis by inhibiting the activation of NF-κB signaling pathway in a time- and dose-dependent manner.  相似文献

AIM: To explore the effect of microRNA-146a (miR-146a) on apoptosis of human gastric cancer SGC-7901 cells and the underluing mechanism. METHODS: miR-146a mimic (up-regulated miR-146a expression) and miR-146a inhibitor (down-regulated miR-146a expression) were transfected into the SGC-7901 cells by liposome method. At the same time, miRNA nonsense sequence transfection group as the negative control group (NC group) was set up. RT-qPCR was used to evaluate the levels of miR-146a in the SGC-7901 cells after transfection. The effects of miR-146a on the cell apoptosis and growth were assessed by flow cytometry analysis and CCK-8 assay, respectively. The effect of over-expression or knockdown of miR-146a on transforming growth factor-β-activated kinase 1 (TAK1)/nuclear factor-kappa B (NF-κB) signaling was evaluated by RT-qPCR and Western blot. RESULTS: miR-146a modulated apoptosis of SGC-7901 cells. Over-expression of miR-146a significantly increased apoptosis, whereas knockdown of miR-146a inhibited the apoptosis of SGC-7901 cells. The expression of TAK1 at mRNA and protein levels was significantly decreased when miR-146a mimic was transfected into the SGC-7901 cells (P<0.05). On the contrast, the expression of TAK1 at mRNA and protein were significantly higher in miR-146a inhibitor transfection group than that in NC group (P<0.05), suggesting that miR-146a negatively regulated TAK1 expression. Moreover, knockdown of TAK1 enhanced the apoptosis of SGC-7901 cells (P<0.01), while over-expression of TAK1 inhibited the apoptosis of SGC-7901 cells(P<0.01). Additionally, both over-expression of miR-146a and knockdown of TAK1 led to a prominent increase in the expression of NF-κB inhibitor protein alpha (IκBα) and a significat decrease in B cell lymphoma-2 (Bcl-2) level in the SGC-7901 cells. CONCLUSION: miR-146a significantly promotes apoptosis of SGC-7901 cells by inhibition of NF-κB pathway via targeting TAK1.  相似文献

AIM:To investigate the effects of 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 ［1,25-(OH)2D3］ on nuclear factor kappa B (NF-κB) signaling pathway in passively sensitized human airway smooth muscle cells (HASMCs). METHODS:HASMCs were passively sensitized with 10% serum from asthmatic patients. 1,25-(OH)2D3 was used as an interfering factor. Electrophoretic mobility shift assay (EMSA) was used to detect the DNA-binding activity of NF-κB. Immunocytochemical staining was used to observe the nuclear translocation of NF-κB p65. Western blotting was used for IκBα and phosphorylated IκBα protein detection. Real-time fluorescence quantitative PCR was used to determine vitamin D receptor (VDR), vitamin D 24-hydroxylase (CYP24) and IκBα mRNA expression. The mRNA expression of IκBα in HASMCs after actinomycin D treatment was also determined. RESULTS:(1) 1,25-(OH)2D3 significantly attenuated the DNA-binding activity of NF-κB and the nuclear translocation of NF-κB p65 in HASMCs passively sensitized by asthmatic serum. (2) 1,25-(OH)2D3 enhanced IκBα mRNA stability and inhibited IκBα protein phosphorylation in passively sensitized HASMCs, thus increasing IκBα expression in these HASMCs. (3) 1,25-(OH)2D3 up-regulated VDR mRNA level and evoked its functional response in passively sensitized HASMCs. CONCLUSION: 1,25-(OH)2D3 enhanced the expression of IκBα and therefore inhibited NF-κB signaling passway in HASMCs. This effect may be dependent on VDR, and responsible for the inhibitory effect of 1,25-(OH)2D3 on passively sensitized HASMCs.  相似文献

AIM:To investigate whether human cytomegalovirus(HCMV) regulate human embryonic lung fibroblast(HEL) cell proliferation and apoptosis by activating NF-κB.METHODS:Immunohistochemistry and Western blot analysis were used to detect the NF-κB translocation and/or Bcl-2 and the levels of I-κBα during HCMV infection. Apoptotic cell were examined by flow cytometry, and the HEL cell proliferation was determined by MTT.RESULTS:The levels of NF-κB in the nucleus reached highly 48 h postinfection, and the levels of I-κBα were low 24 h postinfection. The activity of NF-κB was inhibited 120 h postinfection. The levels ofbcl-2was accorded with the activity of NF-κB. HCMV promoted HEL cells to proliferate before 72 h postinfection and induced apoptosis 120 h postinfection.CONCLUSION:NF-κB plays a role in HEL cell proliferation and apoptosis during HCMV infection, and it involves in the pathological mechanisms of diseases associated with HCMV infection.  相似文献

AIM: To investigate the effects of recombinant human interleukin-17A (rhIL-17A) on the viability and apoptosis of human skin keratinocytes and fibroblasts, and to observe the secretion of profibrotic cytokines by fibroblasts. METHODS: Human skin keratinocytes and fibroblasts were treated with different concentrations of rhIL-17A. CCK-8 method was used to test the cell proliferation. The protein expression of nuclear factor-κB/p65 (NF-κB/p65) and IκBα was determined by Western blotting. The cell apoptosis was observed by flow cytometry. The secretion of interleukin-6 and transforming growth factor-β1 in the culture supernatants of fibroblasts was assayed by ELISA. RESULTS: No difference of the keratinocyte numbers between rhIL-17A treatment groups and control group was observed, while the numbers of fibroblasts were higher in rhIL-17A treatment groups than that in control group (P<0.05). The protein expression of NF-κB/p65 increased in fibroblasts with rhIL-17A treatment, while the expression of IκBα decreased. rhIL-17A had no effect on the apoptosis of both keratinocytes and fibroblasts. The secretion of interleukin-6 and transforming growth factor-β1 in fibroblasts increased after treated with rhIL-17A. CONCLUSION: rhIL-17A had no effect on the proliferation of keratinocytes. However, it can enhance the proliferation of fibroblasts. This effect may be attributed to the activation of NF-κB in fibroblasts by interleukin-17. It is possible that rhIL-17A causes the cell proliferation and collagen synthesis by stimulating fibroblasts to secrete interleukin-6 and transforming growth factor-β1.  相似文献

AIM: To investigate whether the opening of ATP-sensitive K+(KATP) channels protects H9c2 cardiac cells against high glucose(HG)-induced injury and inflammation by inhibiting the Toll-like receptor 4(TLR4)/nuclear factor-κB(NF-κB) pathway. METHODS: The protein levels of TLR4 and NF-κB p65 were determined by Western blot. The levels of interleukin-1β(IL-1β) and tumor necrosis factor-α(TNF-α) were detected by ELISA. The cell viability was measured by CCK-8 assay. Mitochondrial membrane potential(MMP) was examined by rhodamine 123(Rh 123) staining followed by photofluorography. The intracellular levels of reactive oxygen species(ROS) were detected by 2', 7'-dichlorfluorescein- diacetate(DCFH-DA) staining followed by photofluorography. The number of apoptotic cells was observed by Hoechst 33258 nuclear staining followed by photofluorography. RESULTS: After the H9c2 cardiac cells were treated with HG(35 mmol/L glucose) for 24 h, the protein levels of TLR4 and phosphorylated NF-κB p65(p-NF-κB p65) were significantly increased. Pretreatment of the cells with 100 μmol/L diazoxide(DZ, a KATP channel opener) for 30 min before exposure to HG considerably blocked the up-regulation of the TLR4 and p-NF-κB protein levels induced by HG. Moreover, co-treatment of the cells with 30 μmol/L TAK-242(an inhibitor of TLR4) obviously inhibited the HG-induced up-regulation of the p-NF-κB p65 protein level. On the other hand, pretreatment of the cells with 100 μmol/L DZ had a clear myocardial protection effect, which attenuated the HG-induced cytotoxicity, inflammatory response, mitochondrial damage, oxidative stress and apoptosis, evidenced by an increase in the cell viability, and decreases in the levels of IL-1β and TNF-α, MMP loss, ROS generation and the number of apoptotic cells. Similarly, co-treatment of H9c2 cardiac cells with 30 μmol/L TAK-242 or 100 μmol/L PDTC(an inhibitor of NF-κB) and HG for 24 h also obviously reduced the above injuries and inflammation induced by HG.CONCLUSION: The opening of KATP channels protects H9c2 cardiac cells against HG-induced injury and inflammation by inhibiting the TLR4/NF-κB pathway.  相似文献

AIM: To study whether the angiotensin-(1-7)[Ang-(1-7)]/Mas receptor axis protects cardiomyocytes against high glucose(HG)-induced injury by inhibiting nuclear factor-κB(NF-κB) pathway. METHODS: The cell viability was measured by CCK-8 assay. The intracellular levels of reactive oxygen species(ROS) were detected by DCFH-DA staining. The number of apoptotic cells was tested by Hoechst 33258 nuclear staining. Mitochondrial membrane potential(MMP) was examined by JC-1 staining. The levels of NF-κB p65 subunit and cleaved caspase-3 protein were determined by Western blotting. RESULTS: Treatment of H9c2 cardiac cells with 35 mmol/L glucose(HG) for 30, 60, 90, 120 and 150 min significantly enhanced the levels of phosphorated(p) NF-κB p65, peaking at 60 min. Co-treatment of the cells with 1 μmol/L Ang-(1-7) and HG for 60 min attenuated the up-regulation of p-NF-κB p65 induced by HG. Co-treatment of the cells with Ang-(1-7) at concentrations of 0.1~30 μmol/L and HG for 24 h inhibited HG-induced cytotoxicity, evidenced by an increase in cell viability. On the other hand, 1 μmol/L Ang-(1-7) ameliorated HG-induced apoptosis, oxidative stress and mitochondrial damage, indicated by decreases in the number of apoptotic cells, cleaved caspase-3 level, ROS generation and MMP loss. However, the above cardioprotective effects of Ang-(1-7) were markedly blocked by A-779, an antagonist of Ang-(1-7) receptor(Mas receptor). Similarly, co-treatment of H9c2 cardiac cells with 100 μmol/L PDTC(an inhibitor of NF-κB) and HG for 24 h also obviously reduced the above injuries induced by HG. CONCLUSION: Ang-(1-7)/Mas receptor axis prevents the cardiomyocytes from the HG-induced injury by inhibiting NF-κB pathway.  相似文献

AIM: To investigate the effect of down-regulation of X-box binding protein 1 (XBP1) expression on the viability and apoptosis of glioma cells. METHODS: The mRNA expression of XBP1 in the glioma tissues was detected by qPCR. Small interfering RNA (siRNA) interfering with XBP1 expression (XBP1-siRNA) was transfected into human brain glioma U251 cells. At the same time, control group (the cells without special treatment) and negative control (NC-siRNA) group (transfected with siRNA without any interference) were set up. The mRNA expression of XBP1 in the 3 groups 48 h after transfection was detected by qPCR. The protein levels of XBP1, proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA), B-cell lymphoma/leukemia-2 (Bcl-2), Bcl-2-associated X protein (Bax), cyclin D1 (cyclin D1), phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K) and phosphorylated Akt (p-Akt) were determined by Western blot. The cell viability was measured by CCK-8 assay. The cell cycle distribution and apoptosis were analyzed by flow cytometry. RESULTS: The expression level of XBP1 in the glioma tissues was significantly higher than that in the tumor adjacent tissues (P<0.05). The XBP1 expression at mRNA and protein levels was significantly decreased in the cells transfected with XBP1-siRNA (P<0.05). No statistically significant difference of the cell viability, cell cycle, apoptotic rate and the protein levels of PCNA, Bcl-2, Bax, cyclin D1, PI3K and p-Akt between NC-siRNA group and control group was observed. Compared with control group, the cell viability, S-phase cells and the protein levels of PCNA, Bcl-2, cyclin D1, PI3K, and p-Akt in XBP1-siRNA group were decreased significantly, and the apoptotic rate, G0/G1-phase cells and Bax protein expression were significantly increased (P<0.05). CONCLUSION: Down-regulation of XBP1 gene expression in brain glioma cells reduces the viability of cancer cells, blocks the cells in G1 phase and promote apoptosis. The mechanism is related to the inhibition of PI3K/Akt signaling pathway.  相似文献
