AIM: To investigate the effect of microRNA-323 (miR-323) on the apoptosis of hypoxia-induced rat H9C2 cardiomyocytes and its mechanism. METHODS: The hypoxic injury model was established in the H9C2 cells. Anti-miR-323, pcDNA-FGF9 and si-FGF9 were transfected into the H9C2 cells and cultured under hypoxic condition for 48 h. The expression of miR-323 was detected by qPCR. The protein levels of fibroblast growth factor 9 (FGF9), cleaved caspase-3, c-Jun N-terminal kinase (JNK) and p-JNK were determined by Western blot. The cell viability was measured by MTT assay, and the apoptosis was analyzed by flow cytometry. The method of bioinformatics was applied to predict the target gene of miR-323, and dual-luciferase reporter assay was used for further validation. RESULTS: Hypoxia greatly reduced the viability of H9C2 cells at 12 h, 24 h and 48 h (P<0.05), and remarkably increased apoptotic rate and the protein level of cleaved caspase-3 in a time-dependent manner (P<0.05). The expression of miR-323 and the protein level of p-JNK were up-regulated and the expression of FGF9 was down-regulated in the H9C2 cells exposed to hypoxia (P<0.05). Down-regulation of miR-323 and over-expression of FGF9 obviously increased the viability of the H9C2 cells exposed to hypoxia, and decreased the apoptotic rate and the protein level of cleaved caspase-3 (P<0.05). FGF9 was the target gene of miR-323. Down-regulation of FGF9 reversed the attenuating effect of down-regulation of miR-323 on hypoxia-induced H9C2 cell injury. miR-323 regulated FGF9 and affected p-JNK level. CONCLUSION: miR-323 affects the viability and apoptosis of H9C2 cardiomyocytes under hypoxia by targeting FGF9 and regulating JNK signaling pathway.  相似文献

AIM To investigate the effect of nisin on apoptosis of human osteosarcoma MG63 cells and its related oxidative stress mechanism. METHODS The MG63 cells were cultured in the medium containing different concentrations of nisin with or without antioxidant N-acetyl-L-cysteine （NAC）. The cell viability was measured by CCK-8 assay. Apoptosis was analyzed by flow cytometry with annexin-V/PI staining. The production of intracellular reactive oxygen species （ROS） was detected by redox-sensitive dye 2',7'-dichlorofluorescein diacetate （DCFH-DA）. The 5,5',6,6'-tetrachloro-1,1',3,3'-tetraethyl benzimidazolyl carbocyanine iodide （JC-1） was used to detect the changes of mitochondrial membrane potential （MMP）. The protein levels of apoptosis-associated molecules Bax, Bcl-2 and cleaved caspase-3 were determined by Western blot. RESULTS Nisin decreased the viability of MG63 cells and promoted the apoptosis in a dose-dependent manner. It also up-regulated the protein level of cleaved caspase-3, increased the protein expression ratio of Bax/Bcl-2, triggered a large amount of intracellular ROS generation and reduced the MMP （P<0.05）. Moreover, antioxidant NAC significantly inhibited nisin-induced apoptosis of MG63 cells, down-regulated the protein level of cleaved caspase-3, decreased Bax/Bcl-2 ratio, reduced intracellular ROS level, and restored the MMP （P<0.05）. CONCLUSION Nisin may promote oxidative stress in human osteosarcoma cells, activate mitochondrial apoptosis pathway, and eventually induce apoptosis.  相似文献

AIM To explore the effect of dasatinib on the viability, apoptosis and migration of human renal carcinoma cell lines 786-O and 769-P, as well as the molecular mechanism in vitro. METHODS 786-O cells and 769-P cells were treated with different concentrations （0~2 μmol/L） of dasatinib, and 0 μmol/L dasatinib was used as blank control group. MTT method was used to detect cell viability. Wound healing assay was used to detect the effect of dasatinib on migration. Hoechst 33258 staining was used to observe the effect of dasatinib on apoptosis. Flow cytometry was used to detect the effect of dasatinib on cell cycle. Western blot method was used to detected cell cycle- and apoptosis-related protein levels. RESULTS Dasatinib inhibited viability and migration of 786-O and 769-P cells, and the inhibitory effect of dasatinib increased with the concentration of dasatinib （P<0.05）. The IC50 values of dasatinib against 786-O and 769-P cell lines were （0.958 7±0.028 8） μmol/L and （0.784 3±0.066 0） μmol/L, respectively. After treatment with dasatinib for 24 h, the expression of pro-apoptotic proteins cleaved caspase-3 and cleaved caspase-9 increased significantly （P<0.01）, while the expression of cyclin D1 decreased （P<0.05）. The cycle-related pathway proteins p53 and p21 increased （P<0.05）, while the level of p-AKT was decreased （P<0.05）. CONCLUSION Dasatinib impaired the viability and migration ability of human renal carcinoma cell lines 786-O and 769-P by up-regulating p53 expression and down-regulating AKT phosphorylation.  相似文献

AIM To investigate the effect of mangiferin on hypoxia/reoxygenation (H/R)-induced injury of human myocardial cells and its mechanism. METHODS Human myocardial AC16 cells were divided into normal group, H/R group and H/R + mangiferin (50, 100 and 200 μmol/L) treatment groups. The mRNA and protein expression levels of Kelch-like epichlorohydrin-associated protein-1 (Keap-1), Bax, Bcl-2, caspase-3, caspase-9 and superoxide dismutase 2 (SOD2) were detected by RT-qPCR and Western blot, respectively. The protein expression of nuclear factor E2-related factor 2 (Nrf-2) in nucleus was determined by Western blot. The expression of microRNA-432-3p (miR-432-3p) was detected by RT-qPCR. The generation of reactive oxygen speciess (ROS) in the cells was measured by DCFH-DA probing. The cell viability was measured by CCK-8 assay. Apoptosis was analyzed by flow cytometry. RESULTS No significant difference in the expression of miR-432-3p and Keap-1 between normal group and H/R group was observed. Compared with normal group, the nuclear translocation of Nrf-2, the ROS level, and the mRNA and protein expression of Bax, caspase-3 and caspase-9 were significantly increased in H/R group （P<0.05）. The mRNA and protein expression of SOD2 and Bcl-2, and the cell viability significantly decreased in H/R group compared with normal group, while the apoptosis was increased significantly （P<0.05）. Treatment with mangiferin resulted in an increase in the miR-432-3p expression and a decrease in the ROS level, and the expression of Keap-1, Bax, caspase-3 and caspase-9 was also inhibited as compared with H/R group （P<0.05）. The Nrf-2 nuclear translocation, and the protein levels of SOD2 and Bcl-2 in mangiferin treatment groups were significantly increased as compared with H/R group （P<0.05）. The cell viability was increased significantly, and the apoptosis was decreased significantly in mangiferin treatment groups as compared with H/R group （P<0.05）. The effects of mangiferin in middle- and high-dose groups were better than those in low-dose group, and no significant difference between middle- and high-dose groups was found. CONCLUSION Mangiferin inhibits the decrease in myocardial cell viability and the apoptosis induced by H/R injury. The mechanism may be related to the up-regulation of Nrf-2 antioxidant stress effect via enhancing the expression of miR-432-3p.  相似文献

AIM To explore the effect of andrographolide (AND) on the growth and apoptosis of acute lymphoblastic leukemia （ALL） cells. METHODS CCK-8 assay was used to assess the viability of human acute lymphoblastic leukemia CEM-C1 cells treated with AND for 12 h, 24 h and 48 h. The cell morphological changes were observed by Wright-Giemsa staining. The cell apoptosis was detected by flow cytometry with annexin V-FITC/propidium iodide (PI) staining, and the cell cycle was examined by flow cytometry with PI staining. The expression levels of apoptosis-related proteins were examined by Western blot. The mitochondrial membrane potential (MMP) of the cells was determined by JC-1 assay. RESULTS The results of CCK-8 assay indicated that AND inhibited the viability of CEM-C1 cells in a dose- and time-dependent manner. After administration of AND for 24 h, CEM-C1 cells shrank, the cytoplasm turned red and the cell numbers were significantly reduced. Incubation of AND for 24 h resulted in G2-phase arrest and apoptosis. Treatment with AND for 24 h increased the protein levels of cleaved caspase-3, cleaved caspase-7 and Bax, and down-regulated Bcl-2 in the CEM-C1 cells (P<0.05). The ratios of cleaved caspase-3/caspase-3, cleaved caspase-7/caspase-7 and Bax/Bcl-2 were elevated with the increase in the concentration of AND. Collapsed MMP in CEM-C1 cells was observed after AND administration for 24 h. Treatment with AND in vivo suppressed the growth of the xenograft tumor and increased the protein level of cleaved caspase-3. CONCLUSION Andrographolide exerts growth-inhibitory and apoptosis-inducing effects on ALL cells both in vitro and in vivo.  相似文献

AIM To investigate the activation of related repair pathways after bupivacaine-induced neuronal DNA damage by cDNA gene screening. METHODS The bupivacaine-induced SH-SY5Y neuronal damage and DNA damage model was established. The technique of cDNA microplate array was used to screen the 21 important regulatory factors in the DNA damage repair pathway. Post-analysis of these differentially expressed repair genes for the repair pathway enrichment and distribution was performed. The data were analyzed by GraphPad Prism 6 statistical software to compare differences between groups. RESULTS The viability of SH-SY5Y cells treated with bupivacaine at different concentrations （detected by CCK-8 assay） showed that the IC50 value of bupivacaine was 1.5 mmol/L. The comet assay related index （the comet tail） was increased （P<0.05）, the phosphorylation level of γH2AX protein was increased （P<0.05）, indicating that DNA damage in the SH-SY5Y cells was significantly aggravated after bupivacaine treatment. The results of cDNA microplate assay showed that compared withcontrol group, the differentially expressed genes after bupivacaine treatment were DNA-PKcs, PTEN, NTH1, RAD9, CSB, GADD45, XPD, XPC-HR23B and P53. The analysis showed that these repair genes were mainly concentrated in the following 3 repair mechanisms： base excision repair, nucleotide excision repair, and non-homologous reconstitution. CONCLUSION The repair genes differentially expressed after neuronal DNA damage caused by local anesthetics are mainly concentrated in the pathways of non-homologous end-joining, base excision repair and nucleotide excision repair.  相似文献

AIM To observe the effect of adriamycin/doxorubicin （DOX） on the production of inflammatory cytokines and collagen in cardiac fibroblasts and its mechanism. METHODS Neonatal SD rat cardiac fibroblasts were isolated, cultured, and identified by immunofluorescence staining with monoclonal antibodies against vimentin observed under a confocal laser-scanning microscope. The Cell Counting Kit-8 assay was used to detect the toxicity of DOX on cardiac fibroblasts, and flow cytometry with annexin V-FITC/PI double staining was used to detect apoptosis. ELISA was used to detect the release of inflammatory factors in the supernatant of cultured cells. Immunofluorescence labeling assay was used to detected α-smooth muscle actin （α-SMA） expression and mitochondrial reactive oxygen species （mROS） in the cells. Western blot was used to detect the expression of nucleotide-binding oligomerization domain-like receptor protein 3 （NLRP3） inflammasome-related proteins in cardiac fibroblasts. RESULTS （1） Compared with the control group, DOX inhibited the proliferation of cardiac fibroblasts （P<0.05）, but had no significant effect on apoptosis （P>0.05）. （2） Treatment with DOX promotes the release of proinflammatory factors interleukin-1β （IL-1β） and IL-6 in cardiac fibroblasts （P<0.05）. （3） The expression of α-SMA, collagen type I and transforming growth factor-β in DOX treatment group increased significantly compared with control group （P<0.05）. （4） Compared with the control group, the levels of mROS, cellular NLRP3 and cleaved caspase-1 in cardiac fibroblasts increased significantly after DOX treatment. CONCLUSION Doxorubicin promotes cardiac fibroblasts to secrete IL-1β and collagen type I by promoting mROS production and activating NLRP3 inflammasome.  相似文献

AIM To investigate the expression of histone chaperone anti-silencing function 1B （ASF1B） in prostate cancer cells and its effect on cell viability in vitro. METHODS Human prostate cancer PC-3 cells were used, and knockdown of ASF1B was conducted by small interfering RNA （siRNA） transfection into the cells. The cells were divided into control group, siRNA negative control vector （mock） group and siRNA-ASF1B group. The viability of the PC-3 cells treated with ASF1B-siRNA for 12, 24 and 48 h was measured by MTT assay. Flow cytometry was used to analyze cell apoptosis and cell cycle distribution. The mRNA expression of apoptosis-related molecules was detected by RT-qPCR, and the expression levels of MAPK/JNK/ERK signaling pathway-related proteins were determined by Western blot. RESULTS The protein level of ASF1B in the normal cells （benign prostatic hyperplasia） was significantly lower than that in the PC-3 cells （P<0.01）. Compared with control group and mock group, the protein expression level of ASF1B in the PC-3 cells transfected with siRNA-ASF1B plasmid and the viability of the PC-3 cells were significantly decreased （P<0.01）. The apoptotic rate of the PC-3 cells transfected with siRNA-ASF1B plasmid was significantly higher than that in control group （P<0.01）, and the cell cycle was arrested at G1 phase. The mRNA levels of p53, caspase-3, Bax and PARP-1 in the PC-3 cells transfected with siRNA-ASF1B plasmid were up-regulated compared with those in control group and Mack group （P<0.01）. In addition, the protein levels of MAP2K4 and p-JNK in the PC-3 cells in siRNA-ASF1B group were significantly higher than those in mock group （P<0.01）, while the protein level of p-ERK was significantly lower than that in mock group （P<0.01）. CONCLUSION ASF1B silencing induces G1 arrest and promotes apoptosis of PC-3 cells. Activating MAPK/JNK/ERK signaling pathway may be a possible contributor to the anti-prostate cancer effect of siRNA-ASF1B.  相似文献

AIM To investigate the inhibitory effect of andrographolide （AG） on human osteosarcoma 143B cells and its underlying molecular mechanism. METHODS Osteosarcoma 143B cells were cultured in vitro and treated with AG at different concentrations (0~20 μmol/L), and the effect of AG on the proliferation of 143B cells was determined by crystal violet staining, MTT assay and colony formation assay. The wound-healing assay was performed to detect the migration ability of osteosarcoma 143B cells. Transwell assay was performed to analyze the invasive capacity of osteosarcoma 143B cells. The effect of AG on the apoptosis of osteosarcoma 143B cells was detected by Hoechst 33258 staining and flow cytometry. After treatment with of AG at different concentrations, the protein levels of the molecules related to proliferation, migration, invasion and apoptosis of osteosarcoma 143B cells were determined by Western blot. The expression of β-catenin and its related molecule c-Myc in the Wnt signaling pathway was analyzed by Western blot. RESULTS Compared with blank group, the proliferation, migration and invasion of osteosarcoma 143B cells in AG treatment group were significantly inhibited (P<0.05) in a concentration-dependent manner. The expression levels of invasion- and migration-related proteins matrix metalloproteinase-9 (MMP-9), vimentin and Snail were all down-regulated (P<0.05). AG also increased the expression of antiapoptotic protein Bcl-2, and the levels of apoptosis-related protein caspase-3 was decreased but cleaved caspase-3 was increased. At the same time, the expression levels of Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway related proteins β-catenin and c-Myc were significantly decreased (P<0.05). CONCLUSION Andrographolide may inhibit the proliferation, migration, and invasion of osteosarcoma 143B cells and promote their apoptosis by inhibiting the activity of Wnt signaling pathway.  相似文献

AIM: To explore the influence of autophagy on the induction of mitochondrial dysfunction in the neurons in a neonatal rat hypoxic ischemic encephalopathy (HIE) model. METHODS: Ten-day-old rat pups (n=30) were randomly divided into sham group and model group. The rats in the latter group were subject to hypoxia-ischemia treatment via unilateral common carotid artery ligation. The rats were sacrificed for brain pathological examination, and the protein levels of cleaved caspase-3 and LC3B-II were detected by immunohistochemical analysis. For the in vitro experiments, the autophagy of primarily cultured rat neurons was observed after hypoxia, and Western blot and mitochondrial function testing were also performed. RESULTS: Compare with sham group, the hypoxia-ischemia treatment caused atrophy and apoptosis of neurons, and ventricular area enlargement of rat brains. Immunohistochemical results demonstrated significantly higher levels of apoptosis- and autophagy-associated proteins, such as cleaved caspase-3 and LC3B-II (P<0.01). In vitro experiments demonstrated that hypoxia induced autophagy and apoptosis in the neurons. Compared with sham group, there were higher levels of reactive oxygen species and mitochondrial superoxide, and lower mitochondrial membrane potential in the model group (P<0.01). CONCLUSION: In neonatal HIE rat model, the hypoxia-induced mitochondrial dysfunction is related to apoptosis and autophagy. It will provide a new idea for administration of autopahgy inducer agents in treatment of HIE.  相似文献

AIM: To investigate the role of mitochondrial calcium uniporter (MCU) in high glucose(HG)-induced apoptosis of cardiac myocytes. METHODS: Cardiac myocytes were exposed to normal glucose (5.5 mmol/L glucose+ 19.5 mmol/L mannitol), HG (25 mmol/L glucose), or HG combined with 5 μmol/L spermine for 72 h. Mitochondrial free Ca2+ concentration ([Ca2+]m), MCU at mRNA and protein levels, pyruvate dehydrogenase (PDH) activity, mitochondrial membrane potential (Δψm), the levels of ATP and reactive oxygen species (ROS), and apoptosis were determined. RESULTS: The [Ca2+]m, the mRNA and protein levels of MCU, PDH activity, ATP levels, and Δψm were reduced (P<0.05), while ROS content and the protein levels of caspase-9 and caspase-3 were increased in HG group (P<0.05). Adding 5 μmol/L spermine returned these parameters toward control levels (P<0.05). Moreover, apoptosis was reduced by adding spermine and HG treatment (P<0.05). CONCLUSION: HG-induced cardiac myocyte apoptosis may be associated with the decreased MCU expression and activity, abnormal mitochondrial Ca2+ handling, deviant mitochon-drial respiratory chain, and mitochondrial dysfunction.  相似文献

AIM To investigate the effect of 27nt-miRNA （27nt-miR） on apoptosis of human umbilical vein endothelial cells （HUVECs） induced by oxidized low-density lipoprotein （Ox-LDL） and its underlying mechanism. METHODS HUVECs were cultured in vitro and grouped as below： normal control group, Ox-LDL group, 27nt-miR+Ox-LDL group, anti-27nt-miR+Ox-LDL group and negative control+Ox-LDL group. The cells in Ox-LDL group were treated with Ox-LDL at 40 mg/L for 48 h, while those in normal control group were untreated but cultured normally. The cells in 27nt-miR+Ox-LDL group, anti-27nt-miR+Ox-LDL group and negative control+Ox-LDL group were transfected with their corresponding lentiviral vectors under the same procedure, followed by treatment with Ox-LDL at 40 mg/L for 48 h to induce apoptosis. The cell viability was measured by CCK-8 assay. The migration capacity was detected by scratch assay. The caspase-3 activity was measured by caspase-3 activity assay kit. The apoptotic rate was analyzed by Hoechst 33258 and flow cytometry. The mRNA and protein expression levels of Bcl-2, Bax and caspase-3 were determined by RT-qPCR and Western blot. RESUITS： Compared with negative control+Ox-LDL group, the cell viability and migration ability were significantly decreased by over-expression of 27nt-miR in the HUVECs （P<0.05）, while the activity of caspase-3 and apoptosis induced by Ox-LDL were significantly increased （P<0.05）. Furthermore, the mRNA and protein expression levels of Bax and caspase-3 were significantly up-regulated （P<0.05）, and the mRNA and protein expression level of Bcl-2 was down-regulated in 27nt-miR+Ox-LDL group （P<0.05）. Meanwhile, all the above indexes showed an opposite tendency in anti-27nt-miR+Ox-LDL group. CONCLUSION 27nt-miR promotes Ox-LDL-induced apoptosis and inhibits the viability and migration of HUVECs in vitro, possibly through regulating the expression of apoptotic/anti-apoptotic proteins such as Bax,caspase-3 and Bcl-2.  相似文献

AIM: To investigate the effects of angiotensin Ⅱ type 1 receptor autoantibody (AT1-AA) on oxidative stress, autophagy and apoptosis in H9c2 cells, and to analyze the possible mechanism. METHODS: The rat H9c2 cells were cultured in vitro. The effect of AT1-AA at different concentrations for different time on the cell viability was measured by CCK-8 assay. Upon the optimum concentration (10-5 mol/L) and time point (24 h) determined in this stu-dy, the experssion levels of autophagy- and apoptosis-related proteins were detected by Western blot, and the levels of glutathione peroxidase (GSH-Px), superoxide dismutase (SOD) and malondialdehyde (MDA) were examined by oxidative stress kits. RESULTS: AT1-AA decreased cell viability in a concentration- and time-dependent manner, promoted apoptosis, and up-regulated the levels of autophagy and oxidative stress (P<0.05). The apoptosis of H9c2 cells induced by AT1-AA was decreased after pretreatment with autophagy inhibitor 3-methyladenine (P<0.05). The levels of autophagy and apoptosis in the H9c2 cells pretreated with α-lipoic acid were decreased (P<0.05). Pretreatment with angiotensin Ⅱtype 1 receptor inhibitor telmisartan inhibited oxidative stress, and significantly decreased the levels of autophagy and apoptosis induced by AT1-AA in the H9c2 cells (P<0.05). CONCLUSION: AT1-AA induces autophagy and apoptosis of H9c2 cells through oxidative stress.  相似文献

AIM To investigate the protective effect of resveratrol (Res) on cortical neurons in rat bacterial meningitis (BM) model. METHODS Group B hemolytic Streptococcus was injected via the posterior cistern to establish a BM model. Resveratrol was administered intranasally and microRNA-223-3p (miR-223-3p) antagomir was administered by intracerebroventricular injection. HE staining was used to observe the pathological changes of the brain tissue. Loeffler scoring method was used to evaluate the neurobehavioral functions. TUNEL staining was used to detect neuronal apoptosis. The expression of interleukin-1β (IL-1β), IL-18, glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP) and ionized calcium-binding adaptor molecule 1 (Iba1) was detected by immunofluorescence staining. The protein levels of nucleotide-binding oligomerization domain-like receptor protein 3 （NLRP3）, cleaved caspase-1, IL-1β and IL-18 were determined by Western blot. The expression level of miR-223-3p was detected by RT-qPCR. Online software TargetScan was used to search for the complementary nucleotide sequences between miR-223-3p and NLRP3 mRNA. RESULTS Compared with sham group, the thickness of meninges in BM model was increased, the neurological score was decreased (P<0.05), and the number of TUNEL positive neurons was increased significantly (P<0.05). Astrocytes and microglia were activated, the fluorescence intensity of IL-1β and IL-18 was increased (P<0.05), and the expression levels of NLRP3, cleaved caspase-1, IL-1β, IL-18 and miR-223-3p were increased (P<0.05). Compared with BM group, after treatment with resveratrol, the neurological score was increased (P<0.05), the number of TUNEL positive neurons was decreased significantly (P<0.05), and the inflammatory response of astrocytes and microglia was suppressed. The fluorescence intensity of IL-1β and IL-18 was decreased (P<0.05), the protein levels of NLRP3, cleaved caspase-1, IL-1β and IL-18 were decreased (P<0.05), and the expression level of miR-223-3p was increased (P<0.05). A nucleotide sequence in the 3'-UTR of NLRP3 mRNA might be targeted by miR-223-3p. In the brain of rat BM model, compared with antagomir control group, the expression of NLRP3 was increased in miR-223-3p antagomir group with resveratrol treatment (P<0.05). CONCLUSION Resveratrol may reduce the inflammatory death of cortical neurons in BM model of infant rats through miR-223-3p/NLRP3 pathway, thus playing a protective role for the neurons.  相似文献

AIM To investigate the effect of NOD-like receptor family caspase recruitment domain containing 3 (NLRC3) expression knock-down on the viability and apoptosis of normal human bronchial epithelial BEAS-2B cells and its mechanism. METHODS The small interfering RNA (siRNA) fragments of NLRC3 gene were transfected into BEAS-2B cells using Lipofectamine 2000 transfection reagent to knock down the NLRC3 expression. The interference fragment was screened by RT-qPCR. The cell viability was measured by MTT assay. The mitochondrial membrane potential was detected by JC-1 staining. The apoptotic rate was analyzed by flow cytometry with annexin V-FITC/PI staining. The protein expression levels of Bcl-2 and Bax were determined by Western blot. RESULTS The interference segment 3 of NLRC3 gene (siNLRC3-3) displayed the best interference effect on NLRC3 expression in BEAS-2B cells (P<0.01). Knock-down of NLRC3 expression in BEAS-2B cells enhanced the cell viability (P<0.01). Knock-down of NLRC3 increased the mitochondrial membrane potential, and decreased the apoptotic rate (P<0.05). Moreover, knock-down of NLRC3 significantly up-regulated Bcl-2 protein expression and significantly down-regulated Bax protein expression (P<0.01). CONCLUSION Knock-down of NLRC3 expression enhances the viability and inhibits the apoptosis of BEAS-2B cells, which may be related to increase in the expression of Bcl-2 protein and decrease in the expression of Bax protein.  相似文献

AIM: To study the effect of poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase-1 (PARP-1) on cisplatin resistance of human breast cancer MCF-7 cells and its possible mechanisms.METHODS: The expression of PARP-1 at mRNA and protein levels in MCF-7 cells and MCF-7/DDP cells was determined by real-time PCR and Western blot. The expression of PARP-1 in the MCF-7/DDP cells was blocked by PARP-1 siRNA. The cell viability and apoptosis were detected by the CCK-8 assay and flow cytometry analysis, respectively. Furthermore, the protein levels of PARP-1, Bcl-2, Bax, cleaved caspase-3, caspase-3, cytochrome C (Cyto-C), extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK) and phosphorylated ERK (p-ERK) were detected by Western blot.RESULTS: The expression of PARP-1 at both mRNA and protein levels was significantly up-regulated in the MCF-7/DDP cells. The expression of PARP-1 was increased in the MCF-7 cells treated with cisplatin. Knockdown of PARP-1 induced the apoptosis of MCF-7/DDP cells with an increased sensitivity to cisplatin. Meanwhile, knockdown of PARP-1 down-regulated the protein levels of Bcl-2/Bax and p-ERK, but up-regulated the protein levels of cleaved caspase-3 and Cyto-C. After incubated with a specific ERK inhibitor U0126, the cell viability in PARP-1 siRNA group was down-regulated significantly.CONCLUSION: Knockdown of PARP-1 increases the sensitivity of MCF-7/DDP cells to cisplatin, and promotes the cell apoptosis via mitochondrial apoptosis pathway. The mechanism may be related to the attenuation of ERK signaling pathway by inhibiting phosphorylation of ERK.  相似文献
