AIM: To investigate the effects of microRNA-485-5p (miR-485-5p) on the viability, migration and invasion abilities of hepatocellular carcinoma cells and the underlying mechanism. METHODS: The expression levels of sex determining region Y-box 5 (SOX5) mRNA and miR-485-5p in the hepatocellular carcinoma Hep3B cells were detected by RT-qPCR with normal hepatocyte THLE-3 as control. Western blot was used to measure the expression levels of SOX5, proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA), Ki67, cyclin D1 and matrix metalloproteinase-2 (MMP-2). The viability of Hep3B cells was measured by MTT assay. The migration and invasion abilities of the Hep3B cells were detected by Transwell assay. Dual-luciferase reporter assay system was applied to verify the relationship between miR-485-5p and SOX5. RESULTS: Compared with the control cells, the expression level of miR-485-5p was decreased in hepatocellular carcinoma cells Hep3B, Huh7 and HCCLM3 (P <0.05), while the expression of SOX5 at mRNA and protein levels were significantly increased (P <0.05). Over-expression of miR-485-5p inhibited the viability, migration and invasion of Hep3B cells. miR-485-5p targeted the 3′-UTR of SOX5 and negatively regulated the expression of SOX5 . Knocking-down of SOX5 expression inhibited the viability, migration and invasion of Hep3B cells. Over-expression of SOX5 partially reversed the inhibitory effect of miR-485-5p over-expression on the viability, migration and invasion of Hep3B cells. CONCLUSION: miR-485-5p inhibits the viability, migration and invasion of Hep3B cells by targeting SOX5 gene. miR-485-5p is a potential molecular target for hepatocellular carcinoma. 相似文献

AIM：To study the epigenetic mechanisms involved in the evolution of prostate cancer from an androgen-dependent state to an androgen-independent state, and the global difference of histone H3 methylation between androgen-dependent and -independent prostate cancer cells. METHODS：The methylation sites and patterns of histone H3 in androgen-dependent prostate cancer cell line LNCaP and androgen-independent prostate cancer cell line DU145 were analyzed by heavy methyl stable isotope labeling with amino acids in cell culture (SILAC) coupled with 2D LC-MS/MS. Western blotting was used to verify the results from MS. The differential expression of related methylases and demethylases was tested by real-time PCR. RESULTS：Five methylation sites on histone H3 were found in both cell lines, the patterns of which were as follows: H3K14me2, H3R17me1, H3K36me1, H3K36me2, H3K36me3, H3R72me2, H3K79me1 and H3K79me2. There were 2 different peptides both containing methylated H3K36, “KSAPATGGVKKPHR” and “KSAPSTGGVKKPHR”, which were different from the 31th amino acid residue “A” and “S”. The former peptide belonging to histone H3 variants, H31T, H31 and H32, was mainly identified in DU145 cells, the total peptide counts of which were much more than that of the latter peptide belonging to histone H3 variant H31T, suggesting that these 2 cell lines expressed different histone H3 variants. Mono- and dimethylation of H3K36 were not different between these 2 cell lines, but the trimethylation was significantly higher in DU145 cells than that in LNCaP cells. Many H3K36 demethyltransferases were decreased in DU145 cells compared with LNCaP cells. CONCLUSION：The differential expression of histone H3 variants and H3K36 demethyltransferases may result in up-regulation of H3K36 tri-methylation during the evolution of prostate cancer from an androgen-dependent state to an androgen-independent state. 相似文献

AIM: To observe the changes of histone modifications in the liver of rats with hepatic fibrosis and its possible role in the development of hepatic fibrosis. METHODS: Male Wistar rats (n=20) were randomly divided into liver fibrosis group and normal control group. The liver fibrosis model was established by hypodermic injection of CCl4, and the rats in normal control group were injected with vegetable oils. At the end of the 8th week, all rats were killed. Liver function indexes including alanine aminotransferase (ALT) and aspartate aminotransferase (AST), and liver fibrosis indexes including haluronic acid (HA), laminin (LN), collagen type IV (Col Ⅳ) and procollagen type Ⅲ (PCⅢ) were determined by biochemical and RIA methods. The liver index was analyzed, and the liver fibrosis degree and the morphological change of the liver were detected by HE and Masson staining. The levels of α-smooth muscle actin (α-SMA), collagen type Ⅰ (ColⅠ), H3K4me2, H3K9me2, acH3K9 and acH4K12 were detected by Western blot. RESULTS: After hypodermic injection of CCl4 for 8 weeks, the liver index, ALT, AST, HA, LN, Col Ⅳ and PCⅢ of the rats in liver fibrosis group were higher than those in control group (P<0.05). Compared with control group, the level of acH4K12 was decreased (P<0.05), while acH3K9, H3K9me2, α-SMA and ColⅠ were increased (P<0.05), but H3K4me2 had no significant change.CONCLUSION: The levels of acH4K12, acH3K9 and H3K9me2 may play essential roles in the pathogenesis of liver fibrosis, and these histone modifications may regulate gene expression associated with extracellular matrix metabolism. 相似文献

AIM: To observe the expression change of H3K36 trimethylation (H3K36me3) in acute kidney injury (AKI) induced by ischemia/reperfusion (IR) and analyze its correlation with SMYD2 and renal injury, and to provide a new target for clinical treatment of IR-AKI. METHODS: The ICR mice (n =30) were randomly divided into IR group (n =15) and sham operation group (sham group, n =15). The AKI model was established by clamping bilateral renal pedicles for 45 min. The serum and renal tissues of the mice were collected after the model was established for 24 h. The levels of blood urea nitrogen (BUN) and serum creatinine (SCr) were detected by biochemical method. The pathological changes of the kidney were observed by HE staining. The changes of NGAL and cleaved caspase-3 were observed by immunohistochemical (IHC) staining. The protein levels of NGAL, SMYD2, H3K36me3, p-P53, P53, cleaved caspase-3, Bax, Bcl-2, STAT3, p-STAT3, JNK and p-JNK1/2/3 in the renal tissues were determined by Western blot. The relationship between H3K36me3 and SMYD2/NGAL was analyzed by Pearson correlation method. RESULTS: Compared with sham group, BUN and SCr levels of the mice in IR group were significantly increased (P <0.05). HE staining showed significant edema, abscission and necrosis in renal tubular epithelial cells of the micc in IR group, and abscission of brush border and large amount of cell debris in the lumen were also observed. The IHC staining results showed that the protein levels of NGAL and cleaved caspase-3 in IR group were significantly increased. The results of Western blot showed that the protein levels of NGAL, SMYD2, H3K36me3, p-P53, cleaved caspase-3, Bax, STAT3, p-STAT3, JNK and p-JNK1/2/3 in IR group were significantly up-regulated (P <0.05), while the Bcl-2 levels were significantly down-regulated (P <0.05). The correlation analysis showed that H3K36me3 was positively correlated with the levels of SMYD2 and NGAL. CONCLUSION: H3K36me3 is closely related to SMYD2 and renal injury in IR-AKI mice, and the up-regulated expression of H3K36me3 may be involved in the regulation of IR-AKI occurrence and development together with the activation of STAT3 and JNK signaling pathways. 相似文献

AIM To investigate the effects of histone demethylase inhibitor IOX1 (5-carboxy-8-hydroxyquinoline) on the proliferation, apoptosis and extracellular matrix (ECM)-related protein expression in transforming growth factor-β (TGF-β)-induced human hepatic stellate LX2 cells. METHODS The proliferation and apoptosis of the LX2 cells were determined by real-time cell analysis and flow cytometry, respectively. The level of histone H3 lysine 9 dimethylation (H3K9me2) and the protein expression of ECM-related molecules [α-smooth muscle actin (α-SMA), collagen type I (Col I), matrix metalloproteinase-1 (MMP-1) and tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinase-1 (TIMP-1)] in the LX2 cells were detected by Western blot. RESULTS Treatment with IOX1 at 50~300 μmol/L significantly inhibited LX2 cell proliferation, and 300 μmol/L IOX1 significantly promoted the apoptosis of the LX2 cells. In addition, different concentrations of IOX1 increased the levels of H3K9me2 and MMP-1, and down-regulated the expression of α-SMA, Col I and TIMP-1 in TGF-β-induced LX2 cells (P <0.05). CONCLUSION Treatment with IOX1 inhibits the proliferation of LX2 cells induced by TGF-β, promotes the cell apoptosis, and regulates the synthesis and metabolism of ECM by elevating H3K9me2 level, thus attenuating hepatic fibrosis. 相似文献

AIM: To investigate the molecular mechanism of down-regulated EZH2 expression promoting senescence of ovarian cancer cells. METHODS: Real- time PCR, Western blot and immunohistochemistry were used to detect the expression of EZH2 in ovarian cancer tissues, normal tissues, 4 ovarian cancer cell lines and IOSE80 cells. The ovarian cancer cells and IOSE80 cells were transfected with EZH2 siRNA (siEZH2) by Lipofectamine 2000 or treated with GSK126. Transfected IOSE80 cells were treated with ionizing radiation for 72 h, and negative control siRNA served as a control. The cell proliferation, apoptotic rate and senescence were detected by MTT assay, colony formation assay, flow cytometry and SA-β-Gal staining. The protein levels of EZH2, p53, p21, p16, caspase-3, cleaved caspase-3, PARP, cleaved PARP, H3K27me3, H3K27me2 and H3K27me1 were determined by Western blot. RESULTS: The EZH2 expression in the ovarian cancer tissues and ovarian cancer cells was significantly higher than that in the normal tissues and IOSE80 cells, respectively (P<0.01). siEZH2 significantly inhibited the proliferation of ovarian cancer cells, and promoted ionizing radiation-induced senescence. This effect was consistent with the cell phenotype after GSK126 treatment. Knock-down of EZH2 expression significantly inhibited the expression of H3K27me3, promoted the expression of p53, p21 and p16 (P<0.01), and had no effect on the protein levels of the key molecules in the apoptotic pathway. CONCLUSION: EZH2 is highly expressed in ovarian cancer tissues and ovarian cancer cells. Knock-down of EZH2 expression promotes the senescence of ovarian cancer cells via decrease in H3K27me3 level, thus inhibiting the proliferation of the cells. 相似文献

AIM: To explore the cytogenetics and molecular genetics of the patients with disorder of sex deve-lopment. METHODS: Three patients of 46, XX male sex-reversal syndrome and 1 patient of female pseudoherma-phroditism received gene copy number detection of sex-determining region Y gene (SRY), CYP21A2, DSS, DAX1, WNT4, SOX9, NR5A1 by multiplex ligation-dependent probe amplification (MLPA). Fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) analysis was also performed to map the genes using the probes from the bacterial artificial chromosome (BAC) clone. RESULTS: The single-copied SRY gene was detected by MLPA among the 3 patients of 46, XX male sex-reversal syndrome. FISH analysis revealed that there were double X chromosomes, and SRY gene was translocated to the short arm of one of the X chromosomes. Chromosome analysis of the mother of the female pseudoherma-phroditism patient was 46, XX, whose MLPA analysis showed loss of heterozygosity at CYP21A2-ex03 and amplification at CYP21A1P-ex02. Chromosome analysis of her father was 46, XY, whose MLPA analysis revealed loss of heterozygosity at CYP21A2-ex01 and CYP21A2-ex03,and amplification at CYP21A1P-ex02 and CYP21A1-ex10. CONCLUSION: Sex determination is a process controlled by SRY gene and other genes also participate in. The copy number detection of SRY gene and other genes by MLPA contributes to determine the etiology of the patients with disorder of sex development. 相似文献

AIM: To investigate the histone modification changes of topoisomerase Ⅱα(TOPOⅡα) promoter regulatory factor Sp1 in the patients with chronic benzene poisoning.METHODS: The bone marrow samples were collected from 25 chronic benzene poisoning cases and 25 controls. The chromatin immunoprecipitation assay was carried out to study the possible mechanism of TOPOⅡα promoter regulatory factor Sp1 expression changes. The mRNA expression of Sp1 was detected by RT-PCR.RESULTS: Compared with the controls, the histone H4 acetylation and histone H3 acetylation of Sp1 in the chronic benzene poisoning patients significantly decreased(P<0.01), and histone H3K9 methylation level of Sp1 increased(P<0.01), but the histone H3K4 methylation level of SP1 was not obviously changed(P>0.05). The mRNA expression of Sp1 in the chronic benzene poisoning patients was significantly lower than that in the controls(P<0.05).CONCLUSION: In chronic benzene poisoning patients, the histone acetylation and methylation modification changes of TOPO Ⅱα promoter regulatory factor Sp1 accompanied with the changes of mRNA level are observed. Histone H4 and H3 acetylation and H3K9 methylation modification of Sp1 may play an important role in the benzene,s hematopoietic toxicities. 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 effects of histone methylation on the abnormal expression of cardiomyogenesis genes caused by alcohol during pregnancy and the regulatory mechanism, and to provide a new idea and intervention targets for preventing and curing congenital heart disease. METHODS:The alcohol (56%, 5 mL/kg) and G9a-histone methyltransferases (HMT) inhibitor BRD4770 (1 mg/kg) were given by gavage in Kunming mice during embryo (E) 0.5~14.5 d, and the hearts of the mice in E14.5, E16.5 and post neonatal 0.5 d (PND0.5) were collected. The mRNA expression of Gata4, Cx43 and β-MHC genes was detected by RT-qPCR. The activity of HMT was measured by colorimetry. Meanwhile, the protein expression of histone H3K9me3, G9a-HMT, Cx43 and β-MHC was determined by Western blot. RESULTS:The results of colorimetry showed that the activity of HMT in the heart of the offspring mice treated with alcohol during pregnancy was decreased significantly compared with normal saline group (P<0.05), and Western blot data showed that the expression of G9a-HMT and histone H3K9me3 were apparently decreased in the same samples (P<0.05). The mRNA expression levels of Gata4, Cx43 and β-MHC in alcohol group were apparently increased compared with normal saline group (P<0.05). Meanwhile, the protein levels of Cx43 and β-MHC were increased significantly in the same samples (P<0.05). However, BRD4770, a G9a-HMT inhibitor, further attenuated the level of histone H3K9me3, and further upregulated the expression of Gata4, Cx43 and β-MHC in the heart of the the mice treated with alcohol (P<0.05). CONCLUSION:Histone methylation modification imbalance induced by G9a-HMT may be involved in the abnormal expression of cardiomyogenesis genes in the heart of offspring mice caused by alcohol during pregnancy. 相似文献

AIM: To investigate the changes of histone modifications during the activation of primarily cultured rat hepatic stellate cells (HSCs) and the relationship between histone modification patterns and α-smooth muscle actin (α-SMA) expression, and to explore the roles of histone modifications in the activation of HSCs. METHODS: The rat HSCs were isolated by in situ perfusion of collagenase combined with density gradient centrifugation, cultured in vitro and identified by immunofluorescence staining. The morphological features of the cells were observed under inverted microscope. The changes of desmin and α-SMA during the activation of HSCs were detected by immunofluorescence staining and Western blotting. The levels of histone 3 lysine 4 dimethylation (H3K4me2), histone 3 lysine 9 dimethylation (H3K9me2), histone 3 lysine 9 acetylation (acH3K9) and histone 4 lysine 12 acetylation (acH4K12) in quiescent HSCs and activated HSCs were determined by Western blotting.RESULTS: The morphology of HSCs shifted from a quiescent phenotype to highly activated myofibroblast during the culture. Immunofluorescence staining and Western blotting showed that the expression levels of α-SMA and desmin were increased over time and reached maximum at 15 d. According to the results of cell morphology and immunofluorescence staining, the cells cultured for 24 h and 15 d were quiescent and activated HSCs, respectively. Compared with quiescent HSCs, there were higher H3K4me2 and lower H3K9me2, acH3K9 and acH4K12 modification levels in activated HSCs (P<0.01). CONCLUSION: Histone modifications show anomalous expression during the activation of primarily cultured rat HSCs. Histone modifications may contribute to the transdifferentiation of HSCs and the development of hepatic fibrosis. 相似文献

Generation,identification and differentiation of primary ovarian insufficiency patient-derived iPSCs
AIM: To generate and identify primary ovarian insufficiency (POI) patient-derived induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) and to explore their differentiation potential to primordial germ cells. METHODS: Plasmid pEB-C5 expressing reprogramming factors Oct4, Sox2, c-Myc, Klf4 and Lin28, and plasmid pEB-Tg expressing SV40 T antigen, were transfected into peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) derived from POI patients at the same time. PBMCs were reprogrammed into iPSCs, and the pluripotency of the cells was identified. After supplementation of transforming growth factor-β1 (TGF-β1) and bone morphogenetic protein 4 (BMP4), the mRNA and protein expression of primordial germ cell markers was detected by real-time PCR and Western blot, respectively. RESULTS: iPSCs derived from the PBMCs of POI patient differentiated into 3-germ layer cells and maintained pluripotency by the detection of alkaline phosphatase staining, immunofluorescence, embryoid body and teratoma formation. After addition of TGF-β1 and BMP4, the primordial germ cell markers, including stem cell growth factor receptor (c-Kit), developmental pluripotency-associated 3 (STELLA/DPPA3) and DEAD box polypeptide 4 (VASA/DDX4) were increased at mRNA level (P<0.05), and VASA/DDX4 was also up-regulated at protein level in induced group. CONCLUSION: PBMCs of POI patient are reprogrammed into integration-free iPSCs in vitro and maintain pluripotency. They differentiate into primordial germ cells by adding TGF-β1 and BMP4. 相似文献

AIM: To investigate the effects of silent information regulator 1 (SIRT1) over-expression on the apoptosis and the level of reactive oxygen species (ROS) in high glucose-induced H9c2 cardiomyocytes. METHODS: H9c2 cardiomyocytes were transfected with empty plasmid (pcDNA3.1-NC) and SIRT1 over-expression plasmid (pcDNA3.1-SIRT1), and then stimulated by high glucose. The H9c2 cells were divided into control group, high glucose group, high glucose + pcDNA3.1-NC group and high glucose + pcDNA3.1-SIRT1 group. The expression of SIRT1 at mRNA and protein levels in each group was determined by qPCR and Western blot. The viability of the cells was measured by MTT assay. The apoptotic rate was analyzed by flow cytometry. The protein levels of phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K), phosphorylated PI3K, AKT and phosphorylated AKT were examined by Western blot. RESULTS: SIRT1 was significantly decreased in high glucose-induced H9c2 cardiomyocytes, the cell viability was significantly decreased compared with control group, while the ROS levels and apoptotic rate were increased, and the phosphorylated PI3K and AKT protein levels were down-regulated (P<0.05). Over-expression of SIRT1 significantly promoted the viability of H9c2 cardiomyocytes induced by high glucose, decreased the ROS levels and apoptotic rate, and up-regulated phosphorylated PI3K and AKT protein levels (P<0.05). CONCLUSION: SIRT1 over-expression reverses the decrease in the viability of high glucose-stimulated H9c2 cardiomyocytes, and the increases in apoptotic rate and oxidative stress by regulating PI3K/AKT signaling pathway. 相似文献
