Knockdown of Angiopoietin-2 Suppresses Metastasis in Human Pancreatic Carcinoma by Reduced Matrix Metalloproteinase-2

Angiopoietin-2 (Ang2) has been shown highly expressed in resected human pancreatic carcinoma samples, and has tightly combination with tumor angiogenesis, but the role in metastasis of it is less clear. We were, therefore, interested in exploring the effects of Ang2 silencing on the invasion and metastasis of pancreatic carcinoma. Lentivirus (LV)-mediated Ang2 small hairpin RNA (LV-RNAi) and mock lentivirus (LV-NC) were transfected into pancreatic carcinoma cell line MIA PaCa-2. Groups were designed in this study: the control group (MIA PaCa-2 cells), the LV-NC group (cells transfected with the LV-NC), the LV-RNAi-KD1 group (cells transfected with LV-RNAi of knock down sequence (1) and the LV-RNAi-KD2 group (cells transfected with LV-RNAi of knock down sequence (2). Boyden chamber transwell assay was used to detect the cell invasion change. The protein levels of Ang2, MMP-2, and MMP-9 gene and mRNA level of MMP-2, MMP-9 were detected by Western blot and real-time polymerase chain reaction, respectively. Orthotopic pancreatic carcinoma xenotransplantation model were successfully built with MIA PaCa-2 cells injection. After treatment with intraperitoneal injection of LV-RNAi-KD2 (LV-RNAi), mice growth, liver function test, tumor volume and peritoneal metastatic numbers were observed and counted. Moreover, expression of Ang2, MMP-2, MMP-9 were measured by immunohistochemistry. Ang2 expression were successfully knocked down in two LV-RNAi groups, especially in the LV-RNAi-KD2group. Compared with the control group and the LV-NC group, the mRNA and protein level of MMP-2 gene were downregulated significantly in LV-RNAi groups, also the invasion cell number decreased in boyden chamber transwell assay after LV-RNAi transfection. Meanwhile, no obvious MMP-9 gene expression changes were found among all the groups. LV-RNAi injection inhibited pancreatic carcinoma metastasis and growth in vivo by downregulating the expression of MMP-2 not MMP-9. Most importantly, LV-mediated gene therapy with Ang2 knockdown exhibited almost no toxicity in vivo. These findings demonstrate that Ang2 gene silencing exert an anti-metastasis effect in vitro and in vivo, and Ang2 targeted gene therapy has the potential to serve as a novel way for pancreatic carcinoma treatment.     

Virulence of H5N1 virus in mice attenuates after in vitro serial passages

Background

Human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) is the most common pathogen in uterus during pregnancy, which may lead to some serious results such as miscarriage, stillbirth, cerebellar malformation, fetus developmental retardation, but its pathogenesis has not been fully explained. The hypofunction of extravillous cytotrophoblast (EVT) invasion is the essential pathologic base of some complications of pregnancy. c-erbB-2 is a kind of oncogene protein and closely linked with embryogenesis, tissue repair and regeneration. Matrix metalloproteinase (MMP) is one of the key enzymes which affect EVT migration and invasion function. The expression level changes of c-erbB-2, MMP-2 and MMP-9 can reflect the changes of EVT invasion function.

Results

To explore the influence of HCMV on the invasion function of EVT, we tested the protein expression level changes of c-erbB-2, MMP-2 and MMP-9 in villous explant cultured in vitro infected by HCMV, with the use of immunohistochemistry SP method and western blot. We confirmed that HCMV can reproduce and spread in early pregnancy villus; c-erbB-2 protein mainly expressed in normal early pregnancy villous syncytiotrophoblast (ST) remote plasma membrane and EVT, especially remote EVT cell membrane in villous stem cell column, little expressed in ST proximal end cell membrane and interstitial cells; MMP-2 protein primarily expressed in early pregnancy villous EVT endochylema and rarely in villous trophoblast (VT), ST and interstitial cells; MMP-9 protein largely expressed in early pregnancy villous mesenchyme, EVT and VT endochylema. Compared with control group, the three kinds of protein expression level in early pregnancy villus of virus group significantly decreased (P < 0.05).

Conclusion

HCMV can infect villus in vitro and cause the decrease of early pregnancy villous EVT's invasion function.     

Doxycycline influences microcirculation patterns in B16 melanoma

To examine the effects of doxycycline on invasion-related protein expression and proliferation of melanoma cells and to evaluate its effect on microcirculation patterns in melanoma, we injected murine melanoma B16 cell suspensions into the groin areas of C57BL/6 mice that were randomly divided into treatment and control groups. Eight days after tumor cell injection, we administered doxycycline intraperitoneally (ip) at a dose of 0.15 mg/g/day in the treatment group and administered a physiological saline solution to the control group. Animals were sacrificed on Day 22, and we removed and weighed tumor masses and counted the numbers of vasculogenic mimicry (VM) and endothelium-dependent vessels. Immunohistochemical staining was used to analyze the expression of matrix metalloproteinase-2 (MMP-2), matrix metalloproteinase-9 (MMP-9), vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), and proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA). We prepared protein extracts of the tumors, and we examined the activity of MMP-2 and MMP-9 in different groups by gelatin zymography. Real-time polymerase chain reaction (PCR) was used to detect MMP-2 and MMP-9 mRNA level in the fresh tumor tissue. Doxycycline treatment partly suppressed the growth of engrafted B16 melanoma, with an inhibition rate of 35.63%. There were more VM and endothelium-dependent vessels in the control group than in the treatment group. The expression level of MMP-2 and MMP-9 in the treatment group was lower than that in the control group (P < 0.01, P < 0.05). Compared with the control group, VEGF expression was increased with doxycycline treatment. The enzyme activities of MMP-9, active-MMP-2, and MMP-2/pro-MMP-2 in the treatment group were lower than those in the control group (P < 0.01). MMP-2 and MMP-9 mRNA levels in the treatment group were also lower than those in the control group were. Doxycycline inhibits the growth of engrafted melanoma and results in reduced expression of MMP-2, MMP-9, and VM formations.     

The hTERT-protein and Ki-67 labelling index in recurrent and non-recurrent meningiomas

Meningiomas are considered as benign neoplasms affecting the coverings of the central nervous system and compromise approximately 20% of all intracranial tumours. However, a number of these tumours recur even after total resection. The aim of this study is to evaluate the prognostic significance for recurrence of the human telomerase catalytic subunit (hTERT) in the cells of meningiomas. The expression of hTERT-protein can be evaluated by immunohistochemical staining using a monoclonal antibody against hTERT (clone 44F42, NCL-L-hTERT). The interdependence between tumour recurrence and cell proliferation in this study is analysed by Ki-67 immunoreactivity (clone MIB-1). Archival material from 29 non-recurrent and 32 recurrent tumours has been evaluated, including specimens from World Health Organization (WHO) stages I (n = 73), II (n = 2) and III (n = 12). Although the tumours were categorized as benign meningiomas following the WHO classification, recurrence in 22 of 50 cases did not correlate with the tumour stage. For hTERT staining, the following results were found for nucleolar and total nuclear staining, respectively: non-recurrent meningiomas, 2.9% (+/- 7.7) and 3.0% (+/- 8.0); recurrent meningiomas at first resection, 16.8% (+/- 19.7) and 31.6% (+/- 30.2). Concerning the Ki-67 labelling index (LI): for the group of non-recurrent meningiomas, results were 2.1% (+/- 1.7) and for the recurrent group at first resection, 1.7% (+/- 2.0). A significant difference was seen for the hTERT staining (P < 0.001) between the non-recurrent and recurrent meningiomas, whereas no statistical significance was found for Ki-67. In conclusion hTERT-positive meningiomas had a high incidence for recurrence. Ki-67 was a good marker of cell proliferation status of the tumours, but did not correlate with recurrence; thus, hTERT alone seemed to be a potential predictor for recurrence.
