AIM: To investigate the expression of B7-H4 in human glioma tissues and its clinical significance. METHODS: The histological staging of 150 cases of human glioma tissues was determined by HE staining. Immunohistochemistry was performed to study the protein level of B7-H4 in 150 human glioma specimens. Furthermore, the relationships between the expression level of B7-H4 and clinicopathological parameters, as well as patients survival rate, were analyzed. RESULTS: HE staining result indicated that there were 12 cases staged as stage I, 50 cases stage II, 39 cases stage III and 49 cases stage IV in 150 glioma specimens. Ninety-seven cases highly expressed B7-H4 in total 150 glioma samples with a 64.7% high expression rate. The histological grade of the tissues with high B7-H4 expression was mostly III~IV. There were 53 cases with low B7-H4 expression in the total 150 glioma patients with a 35.3% low expression rate. The histological grade of the tissues with low B7-H4 expression was mostly I~II. The B7-H4 expression was related to the age of the patients (P<0.01) and the pathological grade of glioma (P<0.01), but not related to the location of glioma (P>0.05). Kaplan-Meier survival curves demonstrated that increased B7-H4 expression was associated with shorter overall survival time (P<0.01). Multivariate Cox regression analysis revealed that B7-H4, age, sex and pathological grade were independent prognostic factors in glioma patients. CONCLUSION: B7-H4 is expressed in most of glioma tissues. B7-H4 may be a novel prognostic biomarker and a new target of molecular therapy for gliomas.  相似文献

AIM: To explore the expression pattern of microRNA-205 (miR-205) in glioma tissues and its role in the invasion of glioma cells. METHODS: The expression of miR-205 and TBX18 was detected by real-time PCR and immunohistochemical observation, respectively. Transwell assay was used to examine the invasion change of U251 glioma cells after miR-205 overexpression via miR-205 mimics or decrease in miR-205 expression by miR-205 inhibitor. The target of miR-205 was searched by bioinformatics analysis combined with experimental analysis. The protein level of TBX18 was determined by Western blotting after siRNA transfection and Transwell assay was conducted. RESULTS: miR-205 expression was downregulated in 82.6% of detected glioma tissues and TBX18 was significantly overexpressed in glioma tissues compared with normal tissues. miR-205 overexpression remarkably inhibited the invasion potential of U251 glioma cells with a decrease in the invasive cells (P<0.01), while inhibition of miR-205 significantly enhanced the invasion ability of U251 cells. Mechanically, miR-205 directly targeted TBX18 and downregulation of TBX18 also significantly inhibited the invasion potential of U251 cells with a decrease in the invasive cells (P<0.01). CONCLUSION: miR-205 expression is decreased in glioma, and miR-205 inhibits glioma cell invasion via targeting TBX18. Our research contributes to the mechanisms responsible for glioma invasion and provides theoretical base for developing new therapeutic strategy to treat glioma.  相似文献

AIM: To investigate the clinical characteristics of microRNA (miR)-196b in colorectal cancer (CRC) and to study its biological function in 5-fluorouracil (5-FU) resistance. METHODS: miRNA sequence dataset and the corresponding clinical data of CRC patients were downloaded from The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA). Expression level and clinical characteristics of miR-196b in CRC patients were analyzed using SPSS 17.0. CRC cell line overexpres-sing miR-196b was established using transient transfection method. MTS test was used to evaluate the effect of miR-196b overexpression on 5-FU resistance. RESULTS: miR-196b expression was associated with lymph node metastasis and TNM stage (P<0.05), but not related with age and sex. Lymph node metastasis and distant metastasis were independent prognostic factors for rectal patients (P<0.05). The expression level of miR-196b was not associated with survival condition of rectal patients. The viability of the cells overexpressing miR-196b treated with different concentrations of 5-FU was significantly higher than that in control group (P<0.05). CONCLUSION: miR-196b may be a potential biomarker of TNM stage and lymph node metastasis in CRC. miR-196b increases the 5-FU resistance of CRC cells.  相似文献

AIM: To investigate the effect of microRNA-17 (miR-17) on the senescence of vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) and the underlying mechanism.METHODS: The medial layer of the thoracic aorta was collected from the SD rats and isolated for primary culture. VSMCs were identified by immunofluorescence staining. The VSMCs were collected at the 4th~6th generations, and then the miR-17 mimics and miR-17 inhibitor were transfected into the VSMCs by liposome method. After 24 h, the cell senescence was induced by D-galactose. The VSMCs were divided into the following 6 groups:aging induction+miR-17 mimics (A-miR-17) group, aging induction+miR-17 inhibitor (A-anti-miR-17) group, A-control group, normal (N)+miR-17-mimics (N-miR-17) group, N-anti-miR-17 group, and N-control group. On day 3 after the addition of D-galactose, the senescence of VSMCs was observed with β-galactosidase staining. The expression of miR-17, p16 and p21 was detected by RT-qPCR and immunohistochemistry. RESULTS: miR-17 expression in the VSMCs was significantly lower in A-control group than that in N-control group (P<0.01). Compared with A-control group, the expression of miR-17 in the VSMCs was significantly increased in A-miR-17 group (P<0.01), while that was significantly decreased in A-anti-miR-17 group (P<0.01). The number of β-galactosidase positive staining cells in A-anti-miR-17 group was significantly higher than that in A-miR-17 group (P<0.01). The expression of p21 at mRNA and protein levels in the VSMCs was significantly lower in A-miR-17 group than that in A-control group (P<0.01), and the expressions of p21 at mRNA and protein levels was significantly higher in A-anti-miR-17 group than that in A-miR-17 group (P<0.01). CONCLUSION: miR-17 inhibits rat VSMCs senescence induced by D-galactose, the underlying mechanism is associated with the inhibition of p21 expression.  相似文献

AIM:To detect the effect and potential mechanism of microRNA-34a (miR-34a) on the senescence of bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) under high glucose condition. METHODS:BMSCs were isolated and cultured from 60~80 g male SD rats. The BMSCs were divided into 5 groups:normal glucose(NG) group, high glucose(HG) group, HG+miR-34a mimic group, HG+miR-34a NC group and HG+miR-34a inhibitor group. In order to confirm whether miR-34a regulated the senescence of BMSCs under high glucose condition by regulating the expression of silent information regulator 1(SIRT1), in addition to the above groups, HG+siRNA-SIRT1 group, HG+siRNA-NT group and HG+miR-34a inhibitor+siRNA-SIRT1 group were added. The expression of miR-34a and SIRT1 mRNA was detected by RT-qPCR. CCK-8 assay and senescence-associated β-galactosidase assay were used to detect cell viability and senescence, respectively. The protein expression of SIRT1, forkhead box O3a (FOXO3a) and P21 in the BMSCs was analyzed by Western blot. RESULTS:The expression of miR-34a in HG group was increased significantly compared with NG group (P<0.01), and long-term exposure of the BMSCs to high glucose lead to decreased cell viability and increased senescence (P<0.05). Compared with HG+miR-34a NC group, the cell viability in HG+miR-34a mimic group was decreased significantly (P<0.01), the senescence of BMSCs was increased significantly (P<0.01), the protein expression of SIRT1 was decreased significantly (P<0.01) and the protein expression of FOXO3a was increased significantly (P<0.01). However, inhibition of miR-34a expression showed the opposite effect to miR-34a mimic. Similar to the HG+miR-34a mimic group, the protein expression of P21 and FOXO3a in HG+siRNA-SIRT1 group were significantly higher than that in HG group (P<0.01). After adding siRNA-SIRT1 into HG+miR-34a inhibitor group, the inhibitory effect of the miR-34a inhibitor on the expression of P21 and FOXO3a in BMSCs were partly weakened (P<0.05). CONCLUSION:miR-34a regulate the senescence of BMSCs under high glucose condition by regulating the expression of SIRT1.  相似文献

AIM: To investigate the significance of NAD(P) H-quinone oxidoreductase 1 (NQO1) protein overexpression for prognostic evaluation of ovarian mucinous cystadenocarcinoma.METHODS: NQO1 protein was detected in 162 cases of ovarian mucinous cystadenocarcinoma, 35 cases of ovarian mucinous cystadenoma and 29 samples of normal ovarian epithelial tissues by the method of EnVision immunohistochemical staining. The correlation between high expression of NQO1 protein and clinicopathological features of ovarian mucinous cystadenocarcinoma was also evaluated. Overall survival and disease-free survival rates of ovarian mucinous cystadenocarcinoma patients were calculated by Kaplan-Meier method. RESULTS: The positive rate and strongly positive rate of NQO1 protein were 85.8% and 64.2% in ovarian mucinous cystadenocarcinoma, respectively, which are significantly higher than those in ovarian mucinous cystadenoma, and normal ovarian epithelial tissues (P<0.01). NQO1 expression was significantly correlated with the histological grade (P<0.05) and clinical stage (P<0.01) of ovarian mucinous cystadenocarcinoma. Kaplan-Meier survival analysis showed that the overall survival rate and disease-free survival rate were significantly higher in ovarian mucinous cystadenocarcinoma patients with high NQO1 expression than those with low NQO1 expression (P<0.01).CONCLUSION: NQO1 expression is closely correlated with the progression and prognosis of the patients with ovarian mucinous cystadenocarcinoma. High expression of NQO1 protein may be used as an important indicator for the patients with poor prognosis of ovarian mucinous cystadenocarcinoma.  相似文献

AIM: To investigate the expression of CUE domain-containing 2 (CUEDC2) in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) and to analyze its clinical prognostic significance. METHODS: Total 186 formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded tissues obtained from surgical HCC with detailed clinicopathological and follow-up data were used. The expression of CUEDC2 was detected by immunohistochemistry. The relationships between the expression of CUEDC2 and clinicopathological characteristics and prognosis were analyzed. RESULTS: The positive rate of CUEDC2 in HCC was 85.5% (159/186), among which, the low expression was 52.2% (97/186) and the high expression was 47.8% (89/186). CUEDC2 expression was correlated with serum alpha-fetal protein (AFP) level, tumor size, tumor number, tumor differentiation and TNM stage (P<0.05). Kaplan-Meier survival curves showed that the patients with high expression of CUEDC2 were associated with significantly shorter overall survival and recurrence-free survival than those with low CUEDC2 expression (P<0.05). Multivariate Cox regression analysis revealed 3 independent prognostic factors including CUEDC2 expression, serum AFP and tumor number. CONCLUSION: CUEDC2 was expressed in most HCC tissues, which was relevant to tumor growth, tumor differentiation and prognosis. CUEDC2 could be a novel valuable molecular marker to predict the HCC prognosis.  相似文献

AIM: To study the expression of glypican-3 in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) tissues and to clarify its clinical significance. METHODS: The expression of GPC3 was detected in 59 cases of HCC and their para-cancerous tissues, 10 cases of intrahepatic cholangiocellular carcinoma (ICC), 11 cases of cirrhotic tissues and 14 cases of normal liver tissues (around haemangioma) by RT-PCR and immunohistochemical staining. The survival curves were constructed using Kaplan-Meier method and evaluated using the log-rank test. In addition, the Cox proportional hazards regression model was established to identify the factors that were independently associated with disease-free survival (DFS). RESULTS: The mRNA expression of GPC3 in the HCC tissues was significantly higher than that in the para-cancerous tissues (83.1% vs 35.6%, χ2=27.53, P<0.01). The protein expression of GPC3 in the HCC tissue was also higher than that in the para-cancerous tissues (78.0% vs 33.2%, χ2=24.97, P<0.01). The expression of GPC3 in ICC tissues, liver cirrhosis tissues and normal liver tissues was undetectable. Kaplan-Meier survival analysis indicated that the GPC3(+)HCC patients had worse 1-year DFS than that of GPC3(-) patients (33.6% vs 72.7%, P<0.05). The HCC patients with para-cancerous GPC3(+) also had worse 1-year DFS than that of the para-cancerous GPC3(-) patients (23.5% vs 40.1%, P<0.05). The DFS rate decreased significantly as the expression intensity of GPC3 increased. The Cox regression model analysis indicated that AFP(+) (odd ratio=0.372, 95% confidence interval: 0.140-0.900, P<0.05), tumor size (odd ratio=5.215, 95% confidence interval: 1.737-15.656, P<0.01), para-cancerous tissue GPC3(+) (odd ratio=0.226, 95% confidence interval: 0.085-0.599, P<0.01) and the intensity of GPC3 expression in HCC tissue (odd ratio=1.946, 95% confidence interval: 1.080-3.507, P<0.05) were the independent risk factors linked to DFS of patients. CONCLUSION: GPC3 protein is highly expressed in the HCC tissues,but not in ICC, cirrhotic liver and normal liver tissues. The expression of GPC3 in para-cancerous tissues and the intensity of GPC3 expression in HCC tissues are the important independent risk factors linked to DFS of patients.  相似文献

AIM: To investigate the expression of microRNA-625-3p (miR-625-3p) in colorectal carcinoma (CRC) and its underlying mechanism. METHODS: Quantitative real-time PCR was employed to detect the levels of miR-625-3p expression in different CRC cell lines, CRC tissues and pair-matched adjacent normal tissues. The relationships between the expression levels of miR-625-3p and the patients' clinicopathological parameters were estimated. The effects of miR-625-3p on the apoptosis and the cell mitotic cycle of CRC cells were analyzed with propidium iodide staining and flow cytometry. The effect of miR-625-3p on the apoptosis-related proteins was analyzed by Western blot. RESULTS: The expression level of miR-625-3p in the CRC tissues was higher than that in the pair-matched adjacent normal tissues (P<0.05). The expression of miR-625-3p in the CRC tumor tissues was significantly correlated with the tumor infiltrative depth, TNM stage and distant metastasis (P<0.05). The expression levels of miR-625-3p in CRC SW620 cells were higher than that in SW480 cells. The CRC cell mitotic cycle was significantly inhibited and cell apoptosis was significantly promoted when the expression of miR-625-3p was inhibited (P<0.05). The expression of Bax protein didn't change and the expression of Bcl-2 protein increased after miR-625-3p mimics were transfected into CRC SW620 cells(P<0.05). CONCLUSION: miR-625-3p may be a promising approach for the treatment of CRC by promoting cell proliferation and inhibiting apoptosis.  相似文献

AIM: To investigate the expression of forkhead box protein A1(FOXA1) BRCA1 protein,P53 and vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) in triple negative breast cancer (TNBC) and non-TNBC, and the relevance with the clinicopathological parameters for evaluating the prognosis. METHODS: The tumor samples were collected from 113 cases of breast cancer patients in the First Affiliated Hospital of Jinan University,and divided into TNBC group, luminal subtype group and HER-2 overexpression subtype group by the immunohistochemical results of estrogen receptor, progesterone receptor and HER-2. EnVision two-step method was used to detect the expression of FOXA1, BRCA1, P53 and VEGF in the tumor samples. RESULTS: Total FOXA1 positive expression rate was 63.7% (72/113), with 45.2% (19/42) in TNBC, 88.0% (44/50) in luminal subtype and 42.9% (9/21) in HER-2 overexpression subtype.The statistically sigfnificant difference among the 3 groups was observed (P<0.01). Total BRCA-1 positive expression rate was 47.8% (54/113), with 66.7% (28/42) in TNBC, 44.0% (22/50) in luminal subtype and 19.0% (4/21) in HER-2 overexpression subtype.The statisticallysignificant difference among the 3 groups was also observed (P<0.01). In the cases of clinical stages Ⅰ~Ⅱand histological grades 1~2, FOXA1 positive rate was higher than the FOXA1 negative rate (P<0.01). Negative correlations between FOXA1 positive rate and expression of P53/VEGF, and between FOXA1 positive rate and the recurrence rate were found (P<0.05). In the cases of clinical stages Ⅱ~Ⅲ and histological grades 2~3, the BRCA1 positive rate was higher than the BRCA1 negative rate (P<0.05). Positive correlations between BRCA-1 positive rate and the expression of P53/VEGF, and between BRCA1 positive rate and the recurrence rate were also observed (P<0.05). CONCLUSION: Expression of FOXA1 and BRCA1 in breast cancer is different. BRCA1 may be an adverse prognostic indicator for triple negative breast cancer.  相似文献

AIM: To investigate the role of anti-miR-21 oligonucleotide (AMO) in the anti-leukemic activity of decitabine (DCA) in vitro.METHODS: AMO and scramble oligonucleotide (SCR) were constructed and transfected into HL-60 cells. The miR-21 expression was analyzed by real-time PCR to identify the transfection efficiency. The cells were treated with DCA at gradient concentrations (0.5, 2.0 and 4.0 μmol/L) for 48 h. The mRNA expression of human period circadian protein 3 (hPer3) was detected by real-time PCR. The early apoptotic rates were determined by flow cytometry with Annexin V/PI staining. Mean fluorescence intensities (MFI) of CD117 and CD11b were also measured by flow cytometry. RESULTS: The miR-21 relative expression level in AMO group was significantly lower than that in blank group and SCR group (P<0.01). IC50 of DCA in AMO group was significantly lower than that in blank group and SCR group (P<0.01).With the same concentration of DCA, the early apoptotic rate, the mRNA expression of hPer3 and the MFI of CD11b in AMO group were significantly higher than those in blank group and SCR group (P<0.01). The MFI of CD117 in AMO group were significantly lower than those in blank group and SCR group (P<0.01). CONCLUSION: Activation of hPer3 expression plays an important role in enhanced anti-leukemic activity of decitabine by AMO in vitro.  相似文献

AIM: To investigate the protein expression of mitogen-activated protein kinase-interacting kinase-2 (Mnk2) and its prognostic effect in the patients with resected esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC). METHODS: A total of 86 informative patients with surgically resected ESCC and 54 normal esophageal tissues were enrolled. Western blot and immunohistochemistry (IHC) were utilized to assess the protein expression of Mnk2, and its correlation with prognosis was statistically analyzed by the methods of Kaplan-Meier curve and Cox proportional hazard mode. RESULTS: The protein expression of Mnk2 was elevated in most of tumor tissues compared with the adjacent tissues. Clinicopathologic analysis showed that Mnk2 expression was significantly correlated with the TNM stage (P<0.05). Both disease-free survival (DFS) and overall survival (OS) of Mnk2 over-expression patients were shorter than those in Mnk2 negative expression group. Multivariate analysis confirmed that Mnk2 expression, as an independent and significant factor for both DFS and OS, predicted a poor prognosis of the patients with resected ESCC (P<0.05). CONCLUSION: The expression of Mnk2 was significantly related to the TNM stages, and might be a novel predictor for prognosis in ESCC.  相似文献

AIM:To observe the expression of long noncoding RNA TTTY15 in osteosarcoma tissues and cell lines and to explore its effect on the viability and invasion ability of osteosarcoma cell lines. METHODS:qPCR was used to detect the expression of TTTY15 in 11 cases of osteosarcoma and its adjacent tissues. The mRNA levels of TTTY15 in osteosarcoma cell lines (143B, Saos2, MG-63, U2OS and HOS) and human osteoblast cell line hFOB1.19 were also tested. TTTY15 was down-regulated after transfected with small interfering RNA in MG-63 cells, the cell line with the highest level of TTTY15. The effect of TTTY15 knockdown on the viability of MG-63 cells was measured by CCK-8 assay. The cell cycle distribution was analyzed by flow cytometry. The effect of TTTY15 knockdown on the cell invasion ability was detected by Transwell assay. The levels of miR-216b-5p and FOXM1 mRNA were detected by qPCR, and the changes of the related proteins were determined by Western blot. RESULTS:Compared with the adjacent tissues, the expression of TTTY15 increased in the osteosarcoma tissues (P<0.01). Compared with the human osteoblast cell line, the expression of TTTY15 increased in the osteosarcoma cell lines (P<0.05), and the level of TTTY15 in the MG-63 cells was the highest (P<0.01). After knockdown of TTTY15 expression in the MG-63 cells, the cell viability was decreased (P<0.05), cell cycle progression was inhibited (P<0.01), and the cell invasion ability was decreased (P<0.01). The expression of miR-216b-5p was increased (P<0.01) and the expression of FOXM1 mRNA was decreased (P<0.01). The protein expression of FOXM1, CDK4, cyclin D1, MMP-2 and N-cadherin was decreased, while the protein expression of E-cadherin was increased (P<0.05). CONCLUSION:The expression of TTTY15 is increased in the osteosarcoma tissues and cell lines. The low expression of TTTY15 inhibits the cell viability and invasion ability of osteosarcoma cells. The possible mechanism is that the knockdown of TTTY15 expression results in the increase in miR-216b-5p expression and the down-regulation of FOXM1 expression.  相似文献

AIM: To explore the effects of microRNA-129-3p (miR-129-3p) on the viability and migration of NIH3T3 cells during transforming growth factor-β (TGF-β)-induced transformation into myofibroblasts and the underlying molecular mechanisms. METHODS: RT-qPCR was used to examine the relative expression of miR-129-3p in renal cell carcinoma (RCC)-adjacent tissues and fibrotic renal tissue. NIH3T3 cells were stimulated with TGF-β to transform into myofibroblasts, and miR-129-3p expression level was detected. After transfection with miR-129-3p mimics for 48 h in vitro, the cell viability was measured by MTT assay, the protein expression level of Ki-67 was determined by Western blot, and the cell migration was observed by wound healing assay. The direct target of miR-129-3p was predicted by online database TargetScan and confirmed by dual-luciferase reporter assay. The expression level of target protein was further confirmed by Western blot. RESULTS: Compared with the RCC-adjacent tissues, the expression of miR-129-3p was down-regulated in fibrotic renal tissue (P<0.01). In TGF-β-induced NIH3T3 cell transformation into myofibroblasts, the expression of miR-129-3p was also decreased (P<0.01). Transfection with miR-129-3p mimics followed by TGF-β stimulation in the NIH3T3 cells inhibited the viability, Ki-67 expression and migration. TargetScan analysis showed miR-129-3p had binding sites in the 3'-UTR of Smad3, which was confirmed by dual-luciferase reporter assay. The results of Western blot further confirmed that miR-129-3p affected the expression of Smad3. CONCLUSION: miR-129-3p inhibits the viability and migration ability of NIH3T3 cells during TGF-β-induced transformation into myofibroblasts by directly targeting Smad3.  相似文献

AIM: To investigate the effect of microRNA-509 (miR-509) on the growth, invasion and migration of human hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) LM3 cells and survival of tumor-bearing nude mice. METHODS: LM3 cells were transferred with miR-509 mimic and pcDNA Ras-related C3 botulinum toxin substrate 1 (pcRac1), and the expression of Rac1 was measured by Western blot. The relationship between miR-509 and Rac1 was determined by luciferase reporter assay. The invasion ability was determined by Transwell assay, and the migration ability was measured by wound healing assay. Xenograft model of HCC was established by subcutaneous injection with LM3 cells into nude mice. The survival rate of the mice were recorded and the protein level of Rac1 was determined by Western blot. RESULTS: miR-509 mimic inhibited the expression of Rac1 in the LM3 cells (P<0.05). pcRac1 attenuated the effect of miR-509 on Rac1. miR-509 also alleviated luciferase activity of wild Rac1 (P<0.05). Meanwhile, miR-509 mimic decreased the number of invasive LM3 cells and inhibited the migration of LM3 cells (P<0.05). In addition, over-expression of miR-509 up-regulated survival rate of model mice and decreased the protein level of Rac1 in the tumor tissue (P<0.01). CONCLUSION: miR-509 inhibits the invasion and migration of HCC cells and promotes the survival of tumor-bearing nude mice through inhibiting the expression of Rac1.  相似文献

AIM: To investigate the expression of forkhead box p3 (FOXP3) protein in astrocytic tumors, and analyze its clinical significance.METHODS: We measured the incidence of FOXP3 in 121 astrocytomas, 5 meningiomas, 5 normal brain tissues using immunohistochemistry, analyzed the correlation of the presence of FOXP3 with histopathologic features and survival. RESULTS: FOXP3 exists in human brain astrocytic tumors, which was not found in meningioma and normal brain tissues. FOXP3 was expressed in interstitial lymphocytes mainly, and expressed in tumor cells rarely. The differences on FOXP3 expression between all grade levels were statistically significant (P<0.05). The Kaplan-Meier survival analysis showed that there was significant difference between the two survival curves, and the survival rate of the group with negative FOXP3 expression was higher than that of the positive group. Multivariate Cox proportional hazards regression analysis indicated that FOXP3 could not serve as an independent prognostic factor of astrocytic tumors survival time (P＞0.05).CONCLUSION: FOXP3 immunoreactivity is significantly associated with the age and the malignancy of human astrocytic tumors. Astrocytic tumor patients with FOXP3 expression have poorer prognosis, while FOXP3 can not serve as an independent prognostic factor of astrocytic tumors survival time. FOXP3 may provide a new target for immunotherapy of astrocytic tumors.  相似文献

AIM: To explore the relationship and molecular mechanism between microRNA-21(miR-21) and Schwann cells (SC) following peripheral nerve injury. METHODS: The mRNA expression of miR-21 and phosphatase and tensin homologue deleted on chromosome ten (PTEN) in animal model were detected by real-time PCR. The over-expression of miR-21 and inhibition of miR-21 expression in the Schwann cells according to transfection of lentiviral vectors were performed, the nonspecific miRNA was used as a negative control (NC). The cell apoptosis was measured by flow cytometry. The mRNA expression of miR-21 and PTEN in the cells was detected by real-time PCR. The protein expression of PTEN and cleaved caspase-3 was determined by Western blot. RESULTS: The level of miR-21 was significantly higher and the mRNA level of PTEN was significantly lower in the model of nerve injury than those in control group. miR-21 over-expression decreased the number of apoptotic Schwann cells compared with NC-SC. The mRNA expression of PTEN was down-regulated by over-expression of miR-21. The protein expression of PTEN and cleaved caspase-3 was down-regulated by over-expression of miR-21(P<0.05). CONCLUSION: miR-21 may play an important role in the peripheral nerve injury through inhibiting apoptosis of Schwann cells by down-regulating the expression of PTEN.  相似文献
