Gravity heavily influences living organisms on earth including their circadian rhythm, which is fundamentally important for coordinately physiology in organisms as diverse as cyanobacteria, fungus and humans. Numerous researches have revealed that microgravity in outer space can affect circadian rhythm of astronauts and rodent animals, but the mechanism remains unknown. Using rotary cell culture system to simulate microgravity environment, we investigated the role of simulated microgravity in regulating the circadian rhythm of NIH3T3 cells. Our experiments found that simulated microgravity can not only influence the mRNA level of some core circadian genes, but also modify the circadian rhythm of Per1 and Per2 synchronized after phorbol myristate acetate treatment. Remarkably, MEK/ERK pathway was transiently activated after a 2-h simulated microgravity treatment, with a significant upregulation of Kras, Raf1 and p-ERK1/ERK2. Moreover, U0126, a selective inhibitor of MEK/ERK pathway, could disrupt the circadian rhythm of Per1 and Per2 synchronized after simulated microgravity treatment. Together, our results unveil that simulated microgravity could act like a zeitgeber to influence the circadian rhythm of NIH3T3 by acting on MEK/ERK pathway, indicating that MEK/ERK pathway may act as a bridge which connects cells mechanotransduction pathway and circadian rhythm regulation. 相似文献

We identified a cDNA encoding mouse Tenascin-W (TN-W) upregulated by bone morphogenetic protein (Bmp)2 in ATDC5 osteo-chondroprogenitors. In adult mice, TN-W was markedly expressed in bone. In mouse embryos, during endochondral bone formation TN-W was localized in perichondrium/periosteum, but not in trabecular and cortical bones. During bone fracture repair, cells in the newly formed perichondrium/periosteum surrounding the cartilaginous callus expressed TN-W. Furthermore, TN-W was detectable in perichondrium/periosteum of Runx2-null and Osterix-null embryos, indicating that TN-W is expressed in preosteoblasts. In CFU-F and -O cells, TN-W had no effect on initiation of osteogenesis of bone marrow cells, and in MC3T3-E1 osteoblastic cells TN-W inhibited cell proliferation and Col1a1 expression. In addition, TN-W suppressed canonical Wnt signaling which stimulates osteoblastic differentiation. Our results indicate that TN-W is a novel marker of preosteoblasts in early stage of osteogenesis, and that TN-W inhibits cell proliferation and differentiation of preosteoblasts mediated by canonical Wnt signaling. 相似文献

Simulated microgravity (SM) has been implicated in affecting diverse cellular pathways. Although there is emerging evidence that SM can alter cellular functions, its effect in cancer metastasis has not been addressed. Here, we demonstrate that SM inhibits migration, gelatinolytic activity, and cell proliferation of an A549 human lung adenocarcinoma cell line in vitro. Expression of antigen MKI67 and matrix metalloproteinase-2 (MMP2) was reduced in A549 cells stimulated by clinorotation when compared with the 1×g control condition, while overexpression of each gene improves ability of proliferation and migration, respectively, under SM conditions. These findings suggest that SM reduced the metastatic potential of human lung adenocarcinoma cells by altering the expression of MKI67 and MMP2, thereby inhibiting cell proliferation, migration, and invasion, which may provide some clues to study cancer metastasis in the future. 相似文献

Although Porphyromonas gingivalis lipopolysaccharide (P‐LPS) is known to inhibit osteoblast differentiation, the exact molecular mechanisms underlying this phenomenon remain unclear. Here, we investigated the role of Notch signaling in the osteoblastic differentiation of both MC3T3E‐1 cells and primary mouse bone marrow stromal cells (BMSCs). P‐LPS stimulation activated the Notch1 signaling cascade and increased expression of the Notch target genes HES1 and HEY1. P‐LPS can also act as an inhibitor because it is capable of suppressing Wnt/β‐catenin signaling in preosteoblasts by decreasing both glycogen synthase kinase‐3β (GSK‐3β) phosphorylation and the expression of nuclear β‐catenin. These effects were rescued, however, by inhibiting Notch1 signaling. Furthermore, P‐LPS treatment inhibited osteoblast differentiation in preosteoblasts as demonstrated by reductions in alkaline phosphatase activity, osteoblast gene expression, and mineralization, all of which were rescued by suppression of Notch1 signaling. Moreover, inhibition of GSK‐3β, HES1, or HEY1 partially reversed the P‐LPS‐induced inhibition of osteoblast differentiation. Together, these findings suggest that P‐LPS inhibits osteoblast differentiation by promoting the expression of Notch target genes and suppressing canonical Wnt/β‐catenin signaling. J. Cell.

Cellular differentiation is a process in which a group of differentiation specific genes is programmatically induced. This gene expression program leads to changes in both cellular morphological and physiological phenotypes. Using an 18,376-member cDNA/EST microarray, we analyzed the difference in gene expression profiles between differentiated 3T3-L1 adipocyte and non-differentiated 3T3-L1 preadipocyte. From our study a large number of genes and ESTs were identified as differentially induced or suppressed. In this paper we describe the changes of gene expression profile during 3T3-L1 cell differentiation. 相似文献

Simulated microgravity inhibits the proliferation and osteogenesis of rat bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells 总被引:4,自引:0,他引:4
OBJECTIVES: Microgravity is known to affect the differentiation of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs). However, a few controversial findings have recently been reported with respect to the effects of microgravity on BMSC proliferation. Thus, we investigated the effects of simulated microgravity on rat BMSC (rBMSC) proliferation and their osteogeneic potential. MATERIALS AND METHODS: rBMSCs isolated from marrow using our established effective method, based on erythrocyte lysis, were identified by their surface markers and their proliferation characteristics under normal conditions. Then, they were cultured in a clinostat to simulate microgravity, with or without growth factors, and in osteogenic medium. Subsequently, proliferation and cell cycle parameters were assessed using methylene blue staining and flow cytometry, respectively; gene expression was determined using Western blotting and microarray analysis. RESULTS: Simulated microgravity inhibited population growth of the rBMSCs, cells being arrested in the G(0)/G(1) phase of cell cycle. Growth factors, such as insulin-like growth factor-I, epidermal growth factor and basic fibroblastic growth factor, markedly stimulated rBMSC proliferation in normal gravity, but had only a slight effect in simulated microgravity. Akt and extracellular signal-related kinase 1/2 phosphorylation levels and the expression of core-binding factor alpha1 decreased after 3 days of clinorotation culture. Microarray and gene ontology analyses further confirmed that rBMSC proliferation and osteogenesis decreased under simulated microgravity. CONCLUSIONS: The above data suggest that simulated microgravity inhibits population growth of rBMSCs and their differentiation towards osteoblasts. These changes may be responsible for some of the physiological changes noted during spaceflight. 相似文献

In Arabidopsis, SHY2 encodes IAA3, a member of the auxin-induced Aux/IAA family. Gain-of-function mutations in SHY2/IAA3 cause enlarged cotyledons, short hypocotyls, and altered auxin-regulated root development. Here we show that the gain-of-function mutation shy2-2 decreases both the induction and repression of auxin-regulated genes, suggesting that SHY2/IAA3 acts as a negative regulator in auxin signaling. shy2-2 affects auxin induction of many previously characterized primary response genes, implying that it might repress primary auxin responses. In addition, shy2-2 also affects expression of multiple auxin-nonresponsive genes. Light regulates expression of SHY2/IAA3, suggesting a possible link between light and auxin response pathways. 相似文献

Background
The development and activation of CD4+ helper T cell (Th) subsets with distinct patterns of unbalanced production of cytokines play an important part in infectious, allergic and autoimmune diseases. Human neonatal cord blood CD4+ Th cells can be polarized into type 1 or type 2-like effector cells in vitro by culturing them in the presence of interleukin (IL)-12 or IL-4, respectively. We have exploited this experimental system to identify marker genes that are differentially expressed by polarized Th1 and Th2 cells. An oligonucleotide microarray specifically designed to screen for inflammation-related candidate genes was used and the differential expression was further validated with a quantitative real-time RT-PCR method.Results
In addition to the previously described marker genes of Th cells, we report subtle changes in the expression of several other genes that represent growth factors, receptors and other signaling molecules in polarized Th1 and Th2 cell subsets. Additionally, we describe a novel set of genes as Th1/Th2 differentiation markers for cells activated by anti-CD3 and anti-CD28 antibodies.Conclusions
This study demonstrates the power of the targeted use of microarrays in combination with quantitative real-time RT-PCR in identifying and validating new marker genes for gene expression studies. 相似文献11.

The global spread of highly pathogenic avian influenza A H5N1 viruses raises concerns about more widespread infection in the human population. Pre-pandemic vaccine for H5N1 clade 1 influenza viruses has been produced from the A/Viet Nam/1194/2004 strain (VN1194), but recent prevalent avian H5N1 viruses have been categorized into the clade 2 strains, which are antigenically distinct from the pre-pandemic vaccine. To understand the antigenicity of H5N1 hemagglutinin (HA), we produced a neutralizing monoclonal antibody (mAb12-1G6) using the pre-pandemic vaccine. Analysis with chimeric and point mutant HAs revealed that mAb12-1G6 bound to the loop (amino acid positions 140-145) corresponding to an antigenic site A in the H3 HA. mAb12-1G6 failed to bind to the mutant VN1194 HA when only 3 residues were substituted with the corresponding residues of the clade 2.1.3.2 A/Indonesia/5/05 strain (amino acid substitutions at positions Q142L, K144S, and S145P), suggesting that these amino acids are critical for binding of mAb12-1G6. Escape mutants of VN1194 selected with mAb12-1G6 carried a S145P mutation. Interestingly, mAb12-1G6 cross-neutralized clade 1 and clade 2.2.1 but not clade 2.1.3.2 or clade 2.3.4 of the H5N1 virus. We discuss the cross-reactivity, based on the amino acid sequence of the epitope. 相似文献

This paper concerns prediction of clinical outcome from gene expression profiles using work in a different area, nonlinear system identification. In particular, the approach can predict long-term treatment response from data of a landmark article by Golub et al. (Golub, T. R.; Slonim, D. K.; Tamayo, P.; Huard, C.; Gaasenbeek, M.; Mesirov, J. P. et al. Science 1999, 286, 531-537) that has not previously been achieved with these data. The present paper shows that, for these data, gene expression profiles taken at time of diagnosis of acute myeloid leukemia contain information predictive of eventual response to chemotherapy. This was not evident in previous work; indeed, the Golub et al. article did not find a set of genes strongly correlated with clinical outcome. However, the present approach can accurately predict outcome class of gene expression profiles even when the genes do not have large differences in expression levels between the classes. 相似文献

CT120, a novel membrane-associated gene implicated in lung carcinogenesis, was previously identified from chromosome 17pl 3.3 locus, a hot mutation spot involved in human malignancies. In the present study, we further determined that CT120 ectopic expression could promote cell proliferation activity of NIH3T3 cells using MTS assay, and monitored the downstream effects of CT120 in NIH3T3 cells with Atlas mouse cDNA expression arrays. Among 588 known genes, 133 genes were found to be upregulated or downregulated by CT120. Two major signaling pathways involved in cell proliferation, cell survival and anti-apoptosis were overexpressed and activated in response to CT120:One is the Raf/MEK/Erk signal cascades and the other is the PI3K/Akt signal cascades, suggesting that CT120 might contribute, at least in part, to the constitutively activation of Erk and Akt in human lung caner cells. In addition, some tumor metastasis associated genes cathepsin B, cathepsin D, cathepsin L, MMP-2/TIMP-2 were also upregulated by CT120, upon which CT120 might be involved in tumor invasiveness and metastasis. In addition, CT120 might play an important role in tumor progression through modulating the expression of some candidate “Lung Tumor Progression”genes including B-Raf, Rab-2, BAX, BAG-1, YB-1, and Cdc42. 相似文献

The present study was carried out to understand the co-culture effect of C2C12 and 3T3-L1 preadipocyte cells on calpain, caspase, and heat shock protein (Hsp) systems. Calpains, caspases, and heat shock proteins play critical roles in the growth and development of mammalian cells. Cells were co-cultured using transwell inserts with a 0.4-??m porous membrane to separate C2C12 and 3T3-L1 preadipocyte cells. Each cell type was grown independently on the transwell plates. Following cell differentiation, inserts containing 3T3-L1 cells were transferred to C2C12 plates and inserts containing C2C12 transferred to 3T3-L1 plates. Following co-culture for 24 and 48?h, the cells in the lower well were harvested for analysis. Calpains include ??-calpain, m-calpain, and their specific inhibitor calpastatin. The expression pattern of ??-calpain did not change in the co-cultured C2C12 and 3T3-L1 cells, whereas m-capain mRNA expression significantly reduced in the 48-h co-cultured 3T3-L1 cells. Calpastatin mRNA expression significantly increased in the 48-h co-cultured C2C12 cells. Caspase-7 mRNA expression did not change in the 24- and 48-h co-cultured C2C12 and 3T3-L1 cells. Caspase-3 mRNA expression significantly reduced in the 24- and 48-h co-cultured 3T3-L1 cells; caspase-9 mRNA had a significant reduction only at 48?h, whereas caspase-9 mRNA expression significantly increased in the 48-h co-cultured C2C12 cells. Hsp27 and Hsp90 mRNA expressions are significantly reduced in the 24- and 48-h co-cultured C2C12 and 3T3-L1 cells, whereas Hsp70 mRNA expression significantly increased in the 48-h co-cultured 3T3-L1 cells. The co-culture reflects three-dimensional views of C2C12 and 3T3-L1 cell types as in vivo, which is quite distinct from the one-dimensional monocultured C2C12 and 3T3-L1 cells. 相似文献

The effect of endothelin (ET)-1 on the adipogenic differentiation of 3T3-L1 preadipocytes was examined. Cellular morphology and lipoprotein lipase activity were used as differentiation markers. ET-1 inhibited the hormone-induced adipogenic differentiation of 3T3-L1 preadipocytes morphologically and biochemically in a dose-dependent manner. These findings promote ET-1 as a potent inhibitor of adipogenic differentiation, playing an important role in cellular differentiation of preadipocytes and making it a significant regulator of lipid metabolism. 相似文献
