AIM:To construct a recombinant retrovirus vector carrying hTERT for establishing UCBMSCs with hTERT (hTERT-MSCs) to overcome their limited life span and detecting whether telomerized UCBMSCs line maintained long-term self-renewal and differentiation capacity. METHODS:The whole cDNA was generated by PCR amplifications from the plasmid pEGFP-hTERT-C1. The hTERT segments were subcloned into pLNCX2. The target cells were infected with these retroviral particles. The stably transfected cells were selected by neomycin and expanded life span which were designated hTERT-MSCs was observed. The expression of hTERT in mRNA level was detected by RT-PCR and the telomerase activity was measured by TRAP (PCR)-ELISA assay. The hTERT-MSCs were induced with 5-azacytidine to cardiac muscle cells and the specific marker of myocardiocyte was detected. RESULTS:The constructed plasmids were digested with restriction endonucleases (BglⅡand NotⅠ). Two characteristic segments including 6.1 kb and 3.6 kb were obtained. The hTERT-MSCs expressed hTERT in mRNA level. The telomerase activity of hTERT-MSCs was positive. The growth kinetics of hTERT-MSCs was higher than those in UCBMSCs. The hTERT-MSCs were induced to myocardiocyte. CONCLUSION:The hTERT recombinant retrovirus vector has been successfully constructed. The hTERT gene activates the telomerase and prolongs the life-span of cells. No effect of hTERT gene on some type of differentiation potential of MSCs is present. 相似文献

AIM: To explore the effect of TNF-related apoptosis inducing ligand (TRAIL), a new apoptotic inducing molecule on the biological activity of hepatocarcinoma cell line. METHODS: The expression of membrane binding TRAIL on HepG2 cells was detected by immuno-cytochemistry. Quantity of secretory TRAIL was assayed by ELISA method. The cytotoxicity and apoptosis induced by TRAIL was detected by MTT and TUNEL method, respectively. The telomerase activity of HepG2 cells was detected by TRAP-PCR assay kit. The expression of hTERT, the catalytic subunit of telomerase, was detected by FCM. RESULTS: TRAIL was constitutively expressed on the membrane of HepG2 cell line. Soluble TRAIL was also expressed to a certain degree. Cytotoxicity assay showed that TRAIL significantly inhibited the growth of hepatocarcinoma cells. TUNEL assay indicated that TRAIL induced apoptosis in hepatocarcinoma cells. Detection of telomerase activity showed that TRAIL inhibited telomerase activity and the expression of telomerase catalytic subunit. CONCLUSION: TRAIL is an effective molecule to inhibit the growth of hepatocarcinoma through multiple pathways, such as inducing apoptosis and inhibiting the activity of telomerase. 相似文献

AIM: To study the inhibitory effect and its mechanisms of the extract of Oratosquilla oratoria (EOS) on the activity of telomerase in human nasopharyngeal carcinoma cell line CNE-2Z. METHODS: MTT assay was used to determine the effect of different doses of EOS on the proliferation of CNE-2Z cells. The activity of telomerase was analyzed by TRAP-ELISA. The mRNA expression of hTERT was determined by RT-PCR, and the protein expression of c-Myc was detected by Western blotting. RESULTS: EOS inhibited the proliferation of CNE-2Z cells in a dose-dependent manner (P<0.01). Telomerase activity was decreased, the mRNA expression of hTERT and c-Myc in CNE-2Z cells was also decreased (P<0.01) by the treatment of EOS. The correlation between the down-regulatory expression of hTERT mRNA and inhibitory expression of c-Myc protein (P<0.05) under the condition of EOS exposure was observed. CONCLUSION: EOS inhibits the proliferation of CNE-2Z cells by reducing the activity of telomerase, which is related with the inhibitory expression of hTERT mRNA caused by the decrease in c-Myc production. 相似文献

AIM: To investigate the effects of RNA interference (RNAi) inhibiting the expression of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) gene mediated by lentiviral vector on the proliferation and apoptosis of K562 leukemic cell line. METHODS: A lentiviral vector containing short hairpin RNA (shRNA) targeting VEGF was constructed and cotransfected with the packaging plasmids mixture into 293T cells by Lipofectamine 2000. K562 cells were infected with the packaged lentivirus. The levels of VEGF mRNA and protein were detected by real-time quantitative RT- PCR, Western blotting and ELISA. Cellular proliferation was determined by trypan blue dye exclusion and MTT assay. STI571 (imatinib mesylate)-induced apoptosis was analyzed by flow cytometry. RESULTS: The lentiviral shRNA vector targeting VEGF was successfully constructed and transfected into K562 cells. The expressions of VEGF mRNA and protein in K562-shVEGF cells transfected with pRNAT-shRNA were significantly inhibited when compared with those of K562 and K562-con cells (mock transduction). The proliferation rate of K562-shVEGF cells slowed down. After STI571 treatment, the percentages of apoptotic cells in K562-shVEGF cells increased more significantly than those of K562 and K562-con cells (P<0.05). CONCLUSION: Inhibition of VEGF by lentivirus-mediated RNAi effectively inhibits proliferation and increases the sensitivity of K562 cells to STI571. 相似文献

AIM: To evaluate the expression of c-Met in papillary thyroid cancer (PTC) by constructing lentiviral vectors for RNA interference (RNAi) of c-met gene and detecting its silencing effect on the biological behaviors of human papillary thyroid cancer cell line K1 cells. METHODS: Immunohistochemical assay was performed to detect the expression of c-Met protein in 35 cases of PTC and 25 cases of benign thyroid disease. Lentiviral vector for RNA of c-met gene was constructed and the silencing effect was detected by RT-PCR and Western blotting. The colony-forming ability, cell cycle, migration and invasion of K1 cells were measured by colony-forming assay, flow cytometry, wound-healing observation and Transwell experiment, respectively. In vivo tumorigenicity assay was performed to analyze in vivo proliferation of K1 cells in a xenograft model. RESULTS: The expression of c-Met in PTC was significantly higher than that in benign thyroid tissues. Lentiviral RNAi vectors targeting c-met gene were successfully constructed, and they efficiently inhibited the expression of c-met at mRNA and protein levels. Transfection of c-met lentiviral RNAi vectors inhibited the colony formation, cell cycle progression, migration, invasion and tumorigenicity of K1 cells. CONCLUSION: Lentivirus-mediated c-met RNAi efficiently inhibits colony formation, cell cycle progression, migration, invasion and tumorigenicity of K1 cells. 相似文献

AIM：To construct lentiviral vectors for RNA interference (RNAi) of BCL-3 gene, and to detect the changes of biological behaviors and drug sensitivity of colorectal cancer cells after BCL-3 gene silencing. METHODS：The expression of BCL-3 in five human colorectal cancer cell lines was detected by RT-PCR and Western blotting. Lentiviral vectors for RNAi of BCL-3 gene were constructed and transfected into the human colorectal cancer cell line with high expression of BCL-3, and then the silencing effect was detected by Western blotting. After BCL-3 gene silencing, the change of cell proliferation was detected by MTT assay and soft agar colony formation assay, and the change of drug sensitivity was detected by MTT assay. RESULTS：BCL-3 was highly expressed in human colorectal cancer cell line RKO. Lentiviral vectors for RNAi of BCL-3 gene were successfully constructed, and Western blotting showed that BCL-3-shRNA2 could efficiently inhibit the expression of BCL-3 protein in RKO cells. After BCL-3 gene silencing, the proliferation ability and colony formation rate of RKO cells were decreased, and the median inhibitory concentration of oxaliplatin for RKO cells also decreased significantly. CONCLUSION: Inhibition of BCL-3 gene expression decreases the proliferation ability of human colorectal cell line RKO with high expression of BCL-3, and enhances the sensitivity of RKO cells to oxaliplatin. 相似文献

AIM: To investigate the effects of over-expression of Pax-8 gene on the proliferation and apoptosis of H9c2 cells(a cardiomyocyte cell line). METHODS: The full length of rat Pax-8 gene was restrictively digested by Kpn I and Not I from the pCMV sport6-Pax-8 vector, and then inserted into the eukaryotic expression vector pcDNA3.1(+). The recombinant plasmid pcDNA3.1(+)-Pax-8 was confirmed by restriction endonuclease digestion and sequencing. The pcDNA3.1(+)-Pax-8 was transfected into H9c2 cells. The expression of Pax-8 at mRNA and protein levels was identified after transfection by RT-PCR and Western blotting. The cell proliferation was measured by CCK-8. Cell apoptosis was induced by serum deprivation in H9c2 cells transfected with Pax-8 gene. The apoptosis rate of the cells was determined by flow cytometry with annexin V-FITC and propidium iodide double staining. The protein expression of activated caspase-3 was measured by Western blotting. RESULTS: The full length of Pax-8 gene was successfully cloned into pcDNA3.1(+) expression vector and over-expression of Pax-8 at mRNA and protein levels was observed in H9c2 cells transfected with Pax-8 gene as compared to the wild-type cells and the cells transfected with an empty vector (both P<0.05). Transfection of Pax-8 gene promoted the proliferation of the cardiomyocytes (P<0.05) and inhibited the apoptosis rates induced by serum deprivation (P<0.01). The expression level of activated caspase-3 was increased by serum deprivation and attenuated by Pax-8 transfection (P<0.01). CONCLUSION: The pcDNA3.1(+)-Pax-8 expression vector was successfully constructed and over-expression of Pax-8 gene in cardiomyocytes is obtained. Pax-8 gene acts as an anti-apoptotic factor in cardiomyocytes by promoting cell proliferation and inhibiting apoptosis. 相似文献

AIM:To study the expression of telomerase inhibitor Pinx1 in acute leukemia cells and during the differentiation of acute promyelocytic leukemia cells,and to realize its effect on telomerase activity.METHODS:Realtime quantitative PCR with fluorescence probe hybridization was used to measure the expression of Pinx1 and hTERT mRNA in acute leukemia cells and during differentiation of NB4 cells induced by ATRA.The correlations between Pinx1 and hTERT expression were also analyzed.RESULTS:Pinx1 mRNA expression in acute leukemia samples (0.00312,5.42×10-4-0.024) was significantly higher than that in normal bone marrow mononuclear cells (7.89×10-4,0-0.00863,P<0.01).The expression of Pinx1 mRNA had significant positive correlation with hTERT mRNA expression (r=0.296,P<0.05).Pinx1 mRNA expression decreased during differentiation,its expression was positive correlated with hTERT mRNA expression (r=0.900,P<0.05).CONCLUSIONS:As an inhibitor of telomerase,however,Pinx1 also had the same direction of regulation with telomerase activity in acute leukemia cells,suggesting its expression variation may be a subsequent reaction induced by that of hTERT to stabilize telomerase activity.The exact mechanisms remained to be verified. 相似文献

AIM: To investigate the effect and mechanisms of siRNA-hTERT-induced inhibition of Tca8113 tongue cancer cells in vitro and in vivo. METHODS: A small interference RNA (siRNA) targeting to hTERT mRNA (siRNA-hTERT1) was constructed. The siRNA was transfected into Tca8113 tongue cancer cells in vivo and in vitro with cationic liposome. A non-specific siRNA (siRNA-hTERT2) and non-treatment were used as negative control group and blank group. The cell growth in vitro was detected by MTT method. The cell apoptosis in vitro was analyzed by flow cytometry. The effect of siRNA-hTERT1 on xenografts in nude mice was observed by determining the tumor size. The cell apoptosis in xenografts was analyzed by Hoechst staining. The expressions of hTERT mRNA in vitro and in vivo were detected by RT- PCR. RESULTS: The inhibition rates of cell growth in vitro 72 h after siRNA-hTERT1 treatment was 47.2％, significantly higher than that in siRNA-hTERT2 treatment group (2.6％, P<0.01). The cell apoptosis rate was 27.30%±0.18% in vitro, significantly increased at 48 h after transfection of siRNA-hTERT1, compared to negative control group and blank group (P<0.01). The size of xenografts in siRNA-hTERT1 treatment group was (298.8±138.7)mm3, significantly smaller than that in siRNA-hTERT2 treatment group and blank group (495.1±151.6)mm3 and (506.8±207.4)mm3, the inhibition rate was 40.0% (P<0.01). The numbers of apoptotic cells in xenografts significantly increased after transfection of siRNA-hTERT1, compared to negative control group and blank group (P<0.01). Compared to negative control group and blank group, the expression of hTERT mRNA in Tca8113 tongue cancer cells in vitro and in vivo was inhibited by siRNA-hTERT1. CONCLUSION: siRNA-hTERT1 powerfully inhibits the growth of Tca8113 tongue cancer cells in vitro and in vivo. The specific inhibition of hTERT mRNA expression and cell apoptosis may be its main mechanisms. 相似文献

AIM: To investigate the feasibility and specificity of gastric carcinoma gene therapy by utilizing RNA interference (RNAi) to inhibit survivin expression in vitro and in vivo. METHODS: Small interference RNA (siRNA) homologous to survivin was designed. pTZU6+1-siRNA-survivin vector was constructed and transfected into BGC-823 cells. The transplanted BGC-823 tumor in nude mice was established to induce RNAi. The changes of survivin gene expression, tumor cell cycle and cell apoptosis were detected by flow cytometry, RT-PCR, Western blotting, immunochemistry and TUNEL. RESULTS: The expression of survivin was obviously inhibited by RNAi in vitro. The phase of cell cycle indicated the reduction of S phase, while G1/G0 phase increased. Cell apoptosis was obvious. Both the mRNA level and the protein expression of survivin decreased obviously. The tumor size reduced after treated with pTZU6+1-siRNA-survivin vector in vivo. The expression of survivin decreased in siRNA treatment group. In contrast, little change in control group in vitro and in vivo was observed. CONCLUSION: RNA interference down-regulates survivin gene expression, inhibits BGC-823 cell proliferation and induces cell apoptosis with good specificity, which may be a possible new approach for neoplasm gene therapy. 相似文献

AIM: To investigate the role of HGF/c-Met signaling pathway in crizotinib-induced apoptosis of different lung carcinoma cell lines and to analyze its potential regulatory mechanisms. METHODS: EML4-ALK positive cell line H2228, c-Met proliferation cell line H1993 and control cell line A549 were treated with crizotinib at different doses for different time periods. The viability of the cell lines was measured by MTT assay. The apoptosis was analyzed by flow cytometry with PI staining. The protein levels of MET and phosphorylated MET(p-MET) of HGF/c-Met signaling pathway as well as its down-stream key proteins AKT, ERK, p-AKT and p-ERK in the cell lines before and after crizotinib treatment were examined by Western blot. RESULTS: The growth of H1993, H2228 and A549 cell lines was inhibited after crizoti-nib treatment for 72 h in a dose-dependent manner. Apoptotic rates of H1993 cells and H2228 cells were increased with the crizotinib concentration and exposure time. Down-regulation of p-MET, p-AKT and p-ERK at protein levels in H1993 cells and H2228 cells after exposure to crizotinib for 72 h was confirmed by Western blot. No obvious change of the related-proteins of HGF/c-Met signaling pathway was found in A549 cell line. CONCLUSION: HGF/c-Met signaling pathway may contribute to crizotinib-induced apoptosis of H1993 cells and H2228 cells, which provides the experimental basis for MET-targeting treatment of lung cancer. 相似文献
