AIM: To investigate the effect of hirsutine on hypoxia-induced migration and invasion abilities of human breast cancer MCF-7 cells and its possible mechanism. METHODS: CCK-8 assay was employed to detect the cytotoxic effect of hirsutine on the MCF-7 cells. Cell migration was observed by wound healing assay, and cell invasion ability was measured by Transwell invasion assay. Western blot was used to analyze the protein levels of hypoxia-inducible factor-1α (HIF-1α), Snail, E-cadherin and matrix metalloproteinase-9 (MMP-9). The mRNA levels of HIF-1α was detected by RT-PCR. RESULTS: Hirsutine remarkably reduced the cell viability from 32 μmol/L (P<0.05), and the IC50 value was 62.82 μmol/L. In hypoxia state, MCF-7 cells showed more powerful capabilities of migration and invasion (P<0.05), higher protein levels of HIF-1α, Snail and MMP-9 (P<0.05), lower protein level of E-cadherin (P<0.05), and higher mRNA level of HIF-1α (P<0.05). These hypoxia-induced effects were all inhibited by hirsutine at 16 μmol/L (P<0.05), apart from the mRNA level of HIF-1α. CONCLUSION: Hirsutine inhibits hypoxia-induced migration and invasion in human breast cancer MCF-7 cells most likely via down-regulation of the protein levels of HIF-1α, Snail and MMP-9, and up-regulation of the protein level of E-cadherin.  相似文献

AIM: To investigate the effect of linarin (LIN) on the migration and invasion abilities of human breast cancer MDA-MB-231 cells and its underlying mechanism. METHODS: MCF-7, MDA-MB-231 and MCF-10A cells were cultured in vitro and treated with LIN at 5, 10, 20, 40, 80 and 160 μmol/L for 24 h, and the cell proliferation was measured by CCK-8 assay and colony formation assay. The protein levels of Snail, E-cadherin, matrix metalloproteinase-9 (MMP-9), IκBα, p-IKKα/β and p-p65 were determined by Western blot. RESULTS: LIN remarkably reduced the viability of MDA-MB-231 cells in a dose-dependent manner (P<0.05), and the IC50 was 55.89 μmol/L for 24 h. LIN decreased the colony formation rate of MDA-MB-231 cells at the concentration of 20 μmol/L (P<0.05). After exposed to LIN at 5 μmol/L and 10 μmol/L for 24 h, the migration and invasion abilities of the MDA-MB-231 cells were significantly reduced (P<0.05), the protein expression levels of E-cadherin and IκBα were up-regulated (P<0.05), the protein expression levels of Snail and MMP-9 were down-regulated (P<0.05), and the phosphorylation levels of IKKα/β and p65 were decreased (P<0.05) in comparison with the control group. Meanwhile, IKK-16 (IKKα/β inhibitor) and PDTC (NF-κB inhibitor) also down-regulated the protein expression levels of Snail and MMP-9 (P<0.05), and up-regulated the protein expression level of E-cadherin (P<0.05). CONCLUSION: LIN down-regulates the protein expression levels of Snail and MMP-9, and up-regulates the protein expression level of E-cadherin most likely through inhibiting IKK/NF-κB signaling pathway, and ultimately lead to decreases in the migration and invasion abilities of MDA-MB-231 cells.  相似文献

AIM To investigate whether microRNA-556-3p (miR-556-3p) regulates the viability, migration and invasion of endometrial cancer cells by targeting SASH1 gene. METHODS The expression of miR-556-3p, and the mRNA and protein levels of SASH1 in endometrial cancer tissues were detected by RT-qPCR and Western blot. Anti-miR-556-3p or pcDNA-SASH1 was transfected into endometrial cancer Ishikawa cells. The cell viability was detected by MTT assay, the migration and invasion abilities of the cells were detected by Transwell chamber method, and the protein expression levels of cyclin D1, p21, matrix metalloproteinase-2 (MMP-2) and MMP-9 were detected by Western blot. StarBase prediction and dual-luciferase reporter experiments were used to analyze the targeting relationship between miR-556-3p and SASH1. Anti-miR-556-3p and si-SASH1 were co-transfected into the Ishikawa cells, and their effects on cell viability, migration and invasion were examined by the methods described above. RESULTS Compared with adjacent tissues, the expression of miR-556-3p in endometrial cancer tissues was increased significantly, and the expression of SASH1 at mRNA and protein levels was decreased significantly (P<0.05). Inhibition of miR-556-3p expression or induction of SASH1 over-expression obviously reduced the viability of Ishikawa cells, the number of migratory cells, the number of invasive cells and the protein levels of cyclin D1, MMP-2 and MMP-9, and dramatically increased the protein level of p21 (P<0.05). miR-556-3p targeted SASH1 and negatively regulated its expression. Knock-down of SASH1 expression reversed the inhibitory effect of miR-556-3p expression inhibition on the viability, migration and invasion of Ishikawa cells. CONCLUSION Inhibition of miR-556-3p expression suppresses the viability, migration and invasion of endometrial cancer cells. The mechanism is related to the regulation of its target gene SASH1.  相似文献

AIM: To investigate the effect of propofol on the viability, invasion ability and apoptosis of colorectal cancer cells.METHODS: Propofol at 10, 25, 50 and 100 μmol/L was used to treat LoVo cells for 72 h, and propofol at 100 μmol/L was used to treat the LoVo cells for 12, 24, 48 and 72 h. The cell viability was measured by CCK-8 assay. The invasion ability of the LoVo cells treated with propofol at 100 μmol/L for 72 h was detected by Transwell assay. The cell cycle distribution and cell apoptotic rate were analyzed by flow cytometry. The protein levels of matrix metalloproteinase (MMP)-2, MMP-9, cleaved caspase-3, Notch1 and hairy and enhancer of split 1 (Hes1) were determined by Western blot.RESULTS: Propofol inhibited LoVo cell viability. The cell invasion ability, S stage cells, and the protein levels of MMP-2, MMP-9, Notch1 and Hes1 in propofol group were significantly lower than those in control group, and the apoptotic rate, G0/G1 cells and the protein level of cleaved caspase-3 were significantly higher than those in control group (P<0.01).CONCLUSION: Propofol inhibits the viability and invasion ability of colorectal cancer LoVo cells, blocks cell cycle and induces apoptosis. The mechanism is related to down-regulation of Notch1 signaling pathway.  相似文献

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

AIM: To observe the effects of the combination of berberin (Ber) and mitomycin C (MMC) on the cell cycle arrest and apoptosis of T24 bladder cancer cells and the underlying mechanisms. METHODS: The T24 cells were exposed to MMC in the presence or absence of difference concentrations of Ber. The viability of the T24 cells was determined by CCK-8 assay. The cell cycle distribution was detected by flow cytometry. The apoptosis was analyzed by flow cytometry with Annexin V-FITC/PI staining, and the protein expression levels of cyclin D1, survivin, CDK2, CDK4, p21 and p27 were determined by Western blot. RESULTS: CCK-8 experiments showed that Ber enhanced the inhibitory effect of MMC on the viability of T24 cells. The results of flow cytometry showed that Ber also enhanced the blockade effect of MMC on T24 cells in G0/G1 phase (P<0.05). Compared with the MMC group, Ber increased the expression of p21 and p27 up-regulated by MMC, and decreased the expression of cynlin D1, CDK2 and CDK4 (P<0.05). Meanwhile, Ber promoted MMC to inhibit the expression of survivin (P<0.05). Ber increased the apoptosis of T24 cells induced by MMC (P<0.05). CONCLUSION: Ber significantly enhances the inhibitory effect of MMC on the viability of T24 cells. The mechanism may be related to up-regulation of p21 and p27, thereby inhibiting the expression of cyclin D1, CDK-2 and CDK-4. At the same time, Ber inhibits the protein expression of survivin, which eventually leads to cell arrest in G0/G1 phase and promotes apoptosis.  相似文献

AIM: To observe the effects of exogenous zinc on the biological behavior of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) cell line BEL-7404. METHODS: BEL-7404 cells were cultured with zinc sulfate at various concentrations. The intracellular concentration of zinc, cell viability, cell cycle, cell apoptosis and migration and invasion abilities were measured by TSQ fluorescent probe, MTT assay, DNA ploid analysis, acridine orange/ethidium bromide fluorescence staining and Transwell assay, respectively. The mRNA and protein expression levels of albumin in the BEL-7404 cells were determined by real-time PCR and Western blot, respectively. RESULTS: With the elevated concentration of zinc in culture condition, the concentration of zinc in the BEL-7404 cells was increased (P<0.05). The cell viability and migration and invasion abilities were decreased, while the apoptotic rate was increased (P<0.05). The cells in G0/G1 phase were decreased, while the cells in G2/M phase were increased. Additionally, the mRNA and protein expression of albumin also increased (P<0.05). CONCLUSION: The zinc ion inhibits the cell viability as well as migration and invasion abilities, blocks the cells in G2/M phase, and may reduce cell malignant phenotype.  相似文献

AIM: To investigate the effect of Ikaros isoforms on the proliferation of human ovarian cancer SKOV3 cells. METHODS: Three isoforms of Ikaros, IK1, IK2 and IK6, were transfected into ovarian cancer SKOV3 cells. CCK-8 assay and cell counting were used to detect the effects of Ikaros isoforms on the proliferation of SKOV3 cells. The cell cycle was analyzed by flow cytometry. The cell cycle-related proteins were detected by Western blot. RESULTS: IK1 and IK2 expression inhibited SKOV3 cells proliferation. Flow cytometry analysis indicated that IK1 and IK2 induced SKOV3 cell cycle arrest at the G1 phase. IK6 isoform exerted no obvious effect on the proliferation or cell cycle of SKOV3 cells. Compared with control EV group, IK1 group and IK2 group showed a dramatic elevation in the expression of the cell cycle inhibitor p21, along with a substantial decrease in the expression of the cell cycle inducers cyclin D1 and cyclin D2, which did not change in IK6 group. CONCLUSION: IK1 and IK2 significantly inhibit the proliferation of ovarian cancer SKOV3 cells and induce cell cycle arrest at G1 phase by regulation of cell cycle-related proteins cyclin D1, cyclin D2 and p21, while IK6 isoform exerts no obvious effect on the proliferation and cell cycle of SKOV3 cells.  相似文献

AIM:To investigate the effect of diosgenin (Dio) on the proliferation, apoptosis and expression of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor γ (PPARγ) in human glioblastoma U87MG cells and its possible mechanism. METHODS:Human astrocytes (HA) and U87MG cells were cultured in vitro and treated with Dio (0, 10, 20, 30, 40 and 50 μmol/L) and GW9662 (5 μmol/L) for 48 h, and then the cell viability was detected by CCK-8 assay. Cell colony formation assay was used to assess the proliferation potential. Flow cytometry was used to analyze the cell cycle distribution and apoptosis. The mRNA expression level of PPARγ was measured by RT-PCR. Western blot was used to determine the protein levels of PPARγ, cyclin D1, cyclin E1, Bcl-2 and Bax. RESULTS:Dio had no significant influence on the viabi-lity of HA (P>0.05). However, Dio remarkably reduced the viability of U87MG cells in a dose-dependent manner (P<0.05) with IC50 of 24.31 μmol/L. Meanwhile, Dio remarkably diminished colony formation ability (P<0.05), induced G0/G1 phase arrest of the cell cycle and apoptosis (P<0.05), up-regulated the expression of PPARγ at mRNA and protein levels, increased the protein level of Bax (P<0.05), and down-regulated the protein levels of cyclin D1, cyclin E1 and Bcl-2 (P<0.05) in a dose-dependent manner. However, these effects induced by Dio were inhibited by GW9662 (P<0.05), a specific inhibitor of PPARγ. CONCLUSION:Dio may inhibit proliferation and induce apoptosis in human glioblastoma U87MG cells most likely via up-regulating the expression of PPARγ, and then down-regulating the protein levels of cyclin D1, cyclin E1 and Bcl-2, and up-regulating the protein level of Bax.  相似文献

AIM: To investigate the inhibitory effect of CC-223, an inhibitor of mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) kinase, on the viability of human breast cancer cells and its mechanism. METHODS: The inhibitory effect of CC-223 on the viability of MCF-7 cells and MDA-MB-231 cells was measured by CCK-8 assay. The cell cycle distribution of breast cancer cells was examined by flow cytometry. The expression of cell cycle-related proteins and oncoproteins c-Myc and survivin was analyzed by Western blot. RESULTS: CC-223 significantly inhibited the viability of both MCF-7 and MDA-MB-231 cells (P<0.05). CC-223 induced cell cycle arrest in both G1 phase and G2/M phase in the MCF-7 cells (P<0.05). However, low concentration of CC-223 treatment resulted in the accumulation of MDA-MB-231 cell cycle in the G2/M phase, and the cell number in G1 phase was unaffected. Treatment with CC-223 for 24 h clearly inhibited the protein levels of cyclin B1, cyclin D1 and phosphorylated cell division cycle protein 2 in the breast cancer cells (P<0.05). CC-223 suppressed the expression of c-Myc and survivin in both MCF-7 cells and MDA-MB-231 cells (P<0.05). CONCLUSION: CC-223 inhibits cell viability by blocking cell cycle progression and down-regulating expression of c-Myc and survivin in both MCF-7 and MDA-MB-231 cells.  相似文献

AIM: To investigate the effects of chronic hypoxia on the aggressiveness of MCF-7, a human breast cancer cell line, and the underlying mechanisms.METHODS: MCF-7 cells were cultured under hypoxia (1% O2, 5% CO2 and 94% N2) or control (95% O2 and 5% CO2) condition. The viability, proliferation, and invasion and migration abilities of the MCF-7 cells were determined by MTT assay, CCK-8 assay, cell counting, and cell invasion and migration assays. Anchorage-independent growth and the alteration of cellular polarization of the MCF-7 cells were tested by soft agar colony formation assay and Matrigel-3D culture assay, respectively. The effects of chronic hypoxia on the growth and metastasis of MCF-7 cells in vivo were investigated by xenograft in nude mice. The morphological changes of the MCF-7 cells were observed under an inverted microscope. Hypoxia-induced alterations in the levels of hypoxia inducible factor-1 (HIF-1) and phosphorylated glycogen synthase kinase-3β (p-GSK-3β) as well as epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) molecules, such as E-cadherin, N-cadherin, vimentin, matrix metalloproteinase (MMP)-3 and MMP-9, were determined by Western blot.RESULTS: Chronic hypoxia significantly increased the viability, proliferation, and invasion and migration abilities of MCF-7 cells in vitro, enhanced the anchorage-independent growth, facilitated cellular polarization alteration in Matrigel-3D culture, and promoted cancer metastasis in vivo. Hypoxia up-regulated HIF-1, activated GSK-3β, down-regulated E-cadherin and increased the protein levels of N-cadherin, vimentin, MMP-3 and MMP-9. CONCLUSION: Chronic hypoxia enhances the aggressiveness of breast cancer cells probably through EMT.  相似文献

AIM:To investigate the regulatory effects of homocysteine (Hcy) on the viability and migration of rat basilar arterial smooth muscle cells (BASMCs) and its potential molecular mechanisms. METHODS:BASMCs were isolated, cultured in vitro and treated with Hcy at different concentrations. The cell viability was measured by CCK-8 assay, and the activation of Rho kinase pathway was measured by Western blot. The cells were treated with Hcy at fixed concentration (1 mmol/L), and ROCK inhibitor Y-27632 was also used. The cell cycle distribution was analyzed by flow cytometry. The cell migration ability was detected by wound healing assay and Transwell assay. The activation of antioxidant enzymes, including superoxide dismutase (SOD) and glutathione peroxidase (GSH-Px), and the level of malondialdehyde (MDA) were measured for determining the status of oxidative stress.RESULTS:Hcy increased the viability of BASMCs and the protein expression of GTP-RhoA and ROCK2 in a dose-dependent manner (P<0.05). Compared with the cells treated with Hcy for 24 h, the cells treated with Hcy for 48 h had enhanced viability (P<0.05). Compared with control group, treatment with Hcy increased cell population in S phase and decreased cell population in G0/G1 phase, while pre-incubation with Y-27632 reversed Hcy-induced G1/S phase transition in BASMCs (P<0.05). The cell migration rate in Hcy treatment group was remarkably higher than that in control group(P<0.05), while pre-incubation with Y-27632 reversed Hcy-induced cell migration (P<0.05). Furthermore, Hcy inhibited the activation of SOD and GSH-Px, accompanied with increased MDA level (P<0.05). Compared with Hcy treatment group, pre-incubation with Y-27632 increased the activation of SOD and GSH-Px, but decreased MDA level (P<0.05). CONCLUSION:Homocysteine induces the viability and migration of rat BASMCs, and its mechanisms may be related to activation of Rho kinase pathway.  相似文献

AIM To observe the effect of formononetin on the viability, migration and invasion of ovarian cancer cells, and to explore its mechanism. METHODS Human ovarian serous cystadenocarcinoma SKOV-3 cells were cultured in vitro. The cells were treated with formononetin at 0, 25, 50 and 100 μmol/L for 48 h. The cell viability was measured by MTS assay. The migration and invasion abilities of the SKOV-3 cells were detected by scratch wound assay and Transwell assay. RT-qPCR and Western blot were used to detect the mRNA and protein levels of E-cadherin and matrix metalloproteinase-9 (MMP-9). RESULTS The viability of SKOV-3 cells was decreased with the increase in the formononetin concentration compared with control group (P<0.01). The wound migration distance of the cells in 50 μmol/L formononetin group was less than that in control group (P<0.01). The number of invasive SKOV-3 cells across the Transwell sub-compartment was significantly decreased in 50 μmol/L formononetin group compared with control group (P<0.01). The mRNA and protein levels of E-cadherin in 50 μmol/L formononetin group were significantly higher than those in control group (P<0.01), while the mRNA and protein levels of MMP-9 in 50 μmol/L formononetin group were significantly lower than those in control group (P<0.01). CONCLUSION Formononetin inhibits the migration and invasion abilities of ovarian cancer SKOV-3 cells by increasing expression of E-cadherin and decreasing expression of MMP-9.  相似文献

AIM: To investigate the effect of celastrol on the cell cycle of human lung adenocarcinoma A549 cells and to probe into its mechanisms.METHODS: A549 cells were exposed to celastrol at gradient concentrations. The cell viability and apoptosis were detected by MTT assay and flow cytometry, respectively, and the median lethal concentration (LC50) of celastrol was screened. The A549 cells were treated with celastrol at LC50, and the cell cycle was detected by flow cytometry. The expression of cyclin D1 was determined by Western blot, and the expression of microRNA (miR)-17-5p and miR-155-5p was detected by real-time PCR. The correlation between cyclin D1 and miR-17-5p or miR-155-5p was predicted by bioinformatics software. After miR-17-5p mimics/miR-155-5p mimics/mutant-miR-17-5p/mutant-miR-155-5p and pcDNA-GFP-cyclin D1-3'UTR were cotransfected into the A549 cells, the changes of GFP expression were evaluated by fluorescence microscopy and flow cytometry. Finally, after miR-17-5p mimics or miR-155-5p mimics were transfeced into the A549 cells, the expression of miR-17-5p and miR-155-5p was detected by real-time PCR, and the protein level of cyclin D1 was determined by Western blot. RESULTS: With the increasing concentration of celastrol, the viability inhibition rate and apoptotic rate of the A549 cells were increased, indicating that celastrol effectively inhibited the growth of A549 cells and induced apoptosis. The LC50 of celastrol was almost 3 μmol/L. After treatment with celastrol at LC50, the A549 cell cycle was arrested at G1 phase, the protein expression of cyclin D1 was down-regulated (P<0.01), and the expression levels of miR-17-5p and miR-155-5p were significantly increased (P<0.01). The results of bioinformatics software prediction indicated that there were binding sites for miR-17-5p and miR-155-5p in the 3'-UTR of cyclin D1. After cotransfected with miR-17-5p or miR-155-5p and pcDNA-GFP-cyclin D1-3'UTR into the A549 cells, the expression of GFP declined (P<0.05). After miR-17-5p or miR-155-5p mimics were transfected into A549 cells, the results of real-time PCR showed this treatment significantly increased the miRNA expression (P<0.01), and the results of Western blot showed the transfection inhibited cyclin D1 expression (P<0.01).CONCLUSION: Celastrol blocks the A549 cells at G1 phase, inhibits the viability and induces apoptosis, which may be caused by up-regulating the expression of miR-17-5p and miR-155-5p, and then down-regulating cyclin D1 expression. This study provides a new theoretical basis for the treatment of non-small-cell lung cancer with celastrol.  相似文献

AIM:To explore the reversal effect of shikonin on cisplatin resistance of ovarian cancer SKOV3/DDP cells and its potential mechanism. METHODS:The proper conditions of treatment with shikonin and cisplatin were determined by CCK-8 assay. The cell cycle and apoptotic rate were analyzed by flow cytometry. The protein levels of cell cycle-and apoptotic-related molecules, such as cyclin D1, cyclin-dependent kinases 2 (CDK2), P18, p-Rb, Bcl-2, Bax and cleaved caspase-3, were determined by Western blot. RESULTS:The results of CCK-8 assay showed that compared with cisplatin group, combined treatment with shikonin and cisplatin had a better inhibitory effect on the growth of cisplatin-resistant SKOV3/DDP cells. The cell cycle G1/S transition was inhibited, while early apoptotic rate was increased after combined use of shikonin and cisplatin. The results of Western blot showed that compared with cisplatin group, the cells in combination group had lower protein levels of cyclin D1, CDK2, p-Rb and Bcl-2, accompanied with higher protein levels of P18, Bax and cleaved caspase-3. CONCLUSION:Shikonin reverses the cisplatin resistance of ovarian cancer SKOV3/DDP cells. The mechanism may be related to the regulation of cell cycle-and apoptotic-related molecules, and further inhibition of cell viability and promotion of cell apoptosis.  相似文献

AIM:To investigated the effect of 7-hydroxyisoflavone (7-HIF) on the proliferation, apoptosis and stem-like cell feature of colorectal cancer cells. METHODS:The effect of 7-HIF on the proliferation of HCT116 cells was detected by WST-1 assay and colony formation assay. The effects of 7-HIF on the cell cycle distribution and apoptosis in the HCT116 cells were analyzed by flow cytometry. The expression of cell-cycle related proteins and the stemness related proteins was determined by Western blot. RESULTS:After treated with 7-HIF (200 μmol/L), the viability of HCT116 cells was inhibited, and the size and number of the colony were decreased as compared with control group (P<0.05). The G0/G1 phase of the cell cycle was increased. The proportion of S phase was decreased and the cells were mainly arrested in G0/G1 phase. The apoptotic rate of HCT116 cells was 21.4%, which was significantly higher than that in the control group (1.1%). The results of Western blot revealed that the expression of inhibitor of differentiation 1(Id1) was significantly decreased (P<0.05). The expression of cell cycle markers cyclin D1 and cyclin E, the proliferative markers survivin and PCNA, and stem cell markers CD133, ALCAM and EpCAM were all down-regulated by 7-HIF treatment (P<0.05). CONCLUSION:7-HIF inhibits the proliferation and induces the apoptosis of colorectal cancer cells, and inhibits the stem-like cell feature, which may be related to Id1 inhibition.  相似文献

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 detect the endogenous expression of B-cell leukemia/lymphoma 6 member B (BCL6B) in FHC and LoVo cells, and to investigate the effects of BCL6B on proliferation and migration of LoVo cells for further exploring the underlying mechanism. METHODS: The endogenous expression of BCL6B in the FHC and LoVo cells was detected by RT-PCR and Western blot. The methods of MTT assay, colony formation assay, wound healing assay and Transwell chamber experiment were employed to examine the biological functions of BCL6B in the LoVo cells. The mRNA and protein levels of BCL6B, cyclin D1 and matrix metalloproteinase-9 (MMP-9) were determined by RT-PCR and Western blot, respectively. The level of phosphorylated protein kinase B (p-AKT) was detected by Western blot. RESULTS: BCL6B expression was notably repressed in the LoVo cells as compared with the FHC cells, which were significantly increased by transfection with pcDNA3.1-BCL6B. The abilities of proliferation and migration of the LoVo cells at 72 h were inhibited by 28.33%(P<0.01) and 36.11%(P<0.05) in BCL6B group. The mRNA levels of cyclin D1 and MMP-9 in the cells of BCL6B group were decreased by 39.90%(P<0.01) and 77.36% (P<0.05), and the protein levels of cyclin D1, MMP-9 and p-AKT were reduced by 44.00%(P<0.05), 47.06%(P<0.01) and 32.88% (P<0.05), respectively. CONCLUSION: BCL6B inhibits proliferation and migration of the LoVo cells, and the PI3K/AKT signaling pathway is involved in this process.  相似文献
