Objectives
FBXW7 acts as a tumour suppressor by targeting at various oncoproteins for ubiquitin‐mediated degradation. However, the clinical significance and the involving regulatory mechanisms of FBXW7 manipulation of NSCLC regeneration and therapy response are not clear.Materials and Methods
Immunohistochemical staining and qRT‐PCR were applied to detect FBXW7 and Snai1 expression in 100 samples of NSCLC and matched tumour‐adjacent tissues. FBXW7 manipulation of cancer biological functions were studied by using MTT assay, immunoblotting, flow cytometry, transwells, wound healing assay, and sphere‐formation assays. Immunofluorescence and co‐immunoprecipitation were used to analyse the possible interaction between Snai1 and FBXW7.Results
We detected the decreased FBXW7 expression in majority of the NSCLC tissues, and lower FBXW7 level was correlated with advanced TNM stage. Furthermore, those patients with decreased FBXW7 expression tend to have both poorer 5‐year survival outcomes, and shorter disease‐free survival, comparing to those with higher FBXW7 levels. Functionally, we found that FBXW7 enforcement suppressed NSCLC progression by inducing cell growth arrest, increasing chemo‐sensitivity and inhibiting Epithelial‐mesenchymal Transition (EMT) progress. Results further showed that FBXW7 could interact with Snai1 directly to degrade its expression through ubiquitylating alternation in NSCLC, which could be partially abrogated by restoring Snai1 expression.Conclusions
FBXW7 conduction of tumour suppression was partly through degrading Snai1 directly for ubiquitylating regulation in NSCLC2.
Ginsenoside Rh2 inhibits prostate cancer cell growth through suppression of microRNA‐4295 that activates CDKN1A 下载免费PDF全文
Objectives
Ginsenoside Rh2 (GRh2) has demonstrative therapeutic effects on a variety of diseases, including some tumours. However, the effects of GRh2 on prostate cancer (PC) cell growth remain unknown, and were, thus, addressed in the present study.Materials and methods
PC3 and DU145 PC cell lines were exposed to GRh2. Cell proliferation was assessed in an MTT assay and by BrdU incorporation. Apoptosis of the cells were assessed by TUNEL staining. Total RNA was assessed by RT‐qPCR. Protein levels were assessed by Western blotting. Bioinformatics and dual luciferase reporter assay were applied to determine the functional binding of miRNA to mRNA of target gene.Results
GRh2 dose‐dependently decreased PC cell proliferation, but did not alter cell apoptosis. Mechanistically, GRh2 dose‐dependently increased the protein, but not mRNA of a cell‐cycle suppressor CDKN1A in PC cells, suggesting the presence of microRNA (miRNA)‐mediated protein translation control of CDKN1A by GRh2. In all candidate miRNAs that bind to 3′‐UTR of CDKN1A, miR‐4295 was specifically found to be suppressed dose‐dependently by GRh2 in PC cells. Moreover, miR‐4295 bound CDKN1A to suppress its protein translation. Furthermore, cell proliferation in PC cells that overexpressed miR‐4295 did not alter in response to GRh2.Conclusions
GRh2 may inhibit PC cell growth through suppression of microRNA‐4295 that activates CDKN1A.3.

Caspases, a family of cysteine proteases with unique substrate specificities, contribute to apoptosis, whereas autophagy‐related genes (ATGs) regulate cytoprotective autophagy or autophagic cell death in cancer. Accumulating evidence has recently revealed underlying mechanisms of apoptosis and autophagy; however, their intricate relationships still remain to be clarified. Identification of caspase/ATG switches between apoptosis and autophagy may address this problem.Materials and methods
Identification of caspase/ATG switches was carried out using a series of elegant systems biology & bioinformatics approaches, such as network construction, hub protein identification, microarray analyses, targeted microRNA prediction and molecular docking.Results
We computationally constructed the global human network from several online databases and further modified it into the basic caspase/ATG network. On the basis of apoptotic or autophagic gene differential expressions, we identified three molecular switches [including androgen receptor, serine/threonine‐protein kinase PAK‐1 (PAK‐1) and mitogen‐activated protein kinase‐3 (MAPK‐3)] between certain caspases and ATGs in human breast carcinoma MCF‐7 cells. Subsequently, we identified microRNAs (miRNAs) able to target androgen receptor, PAK‐1 and MAPK‐3, respectively. Ultimately, we screened a range of small molecule compounds from DrugBank, able to target the three above‐mentioned molecular switches in breast cancer cells.Conclusions
We have systematically identified novel caspase/ATG switches involved in miRNA regulation, and predicted targeted anti‐cancer drugs. These findings may uncover intricate relationships between apoptosis and autophagy and thus provide further new clues towards possible cancer drug discovery.4.
SATB2 targeted by methylated miR‐34c‐5p suppresses proliferation and metastasis attenuating the epithelial‐mesenchymal transition in colorectal cancer 下载免费PDF全文
Objectives
SATB2 has been shown to be markedly reduced in colorectal cancer (CRC) tissues relative to paired normal controls; however, the mechanism behind remains not well understood. To investigate why SATB2 was down‐regulated in CRC, we attempted to analyse it from the angle of miRNA‐mRNA modulation.Materials and methods
SATB2 expression was detected in CRC tissues using immunohistochemistry and verified using real‐time PCR on mRNA level, followed by analysis of clinicopathological significance of its expression. Metastatic variation of CRC cells was evaluated both in vivo and in vitro. To find out the potential miRNA that directly regulate the SATB2, luciferase reporter assay was performed following the bioinformatic prediction.Results
SATB2 was confirmed to be closely linked with the metastasis and shorter overall survival of CRC in our own cases. Silencing of SATB2 was shown to be able to promote the metastatic ability of CRC cells in vivo, enhancing the epithelial‐mesenchymal transition (EMT). Mechanistically, miR‐34c‐5p was identified to be a novel miRNA that can directly modulate the SATB2. It turned out that the promoter of miR‐34c‐5p was methylated, which leads to the repression of miR‐34c‐5p in CRC. Treatment with 5‐Aza‐dC can reasonably and significantly restore the level of miR‐34c‐5p in CRC cells relative to control, thereby down‐regulating the SATB2.Conclusions
Together, our study revealed that SATB2 targeted by methylated miR‐34c‐5p can suppress the metastasis, weakening the EMT in CRC.5.
Objectives
Recent lines of evidence have indicated that miR‐34c can play important roles in regulation of the cell cycle, cell senescence and apoptosis of mouse and human tumour cells, spermatogenesis, and male germ‐cell apoptosis. However, there is little information on the effects of miR‐34c on proliferation and apoptosis of livestock male germ cells. The dairy goat is a convenient domestic species for biological investigation and application. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of miR‐34c on apoptosis and proliferation of dairy goat male germline stem cells (mGSCs), as well as to determine the relationship between p53 and miR‐34c in this species.Materials and methods
Morphological observation, miRNA in situ hybridisation (ISH), bromodeoxyuridine staining, flow cytometry, quantitative‐RT‐PCR (Q‐RT‐PCR) and western blotting were utilized to ascertain apoptosis and proliferation of mGSCs, through transfection of miR‐34c mimics (miR‐34c), miR‐34c inhibitor (anti‐miR‐34c), miR‐34c mimics and inhibitors co‐transfected (mixture) compared to control groups.Results
Results manifested that miR‐34c over‐expression promoted mGSCs apoptosis and suppressed their proliferation. Simultaneously, a variety of apoptosis‐related gene expression was increased while some proliferation‐related genes were downregulated. Accordingly, miR‐34c promoted apoptosis in mGSCs and reduced their proliferation; moreover, expression of miR‐34c was p53‐dependent.Conclusions
This study is the first to provide a model for study of miRNAs and mechanisms of proliferation and apoptosis in male dairy goat germ cells.6.

Objective
The aim of this study was to investigate effects of low‐intensity pulsed ultrasound (LIPUS) on differentiation of adipose‐derived stem cells (ASCs), in vitro.Materials and methods
Murine ASCs were treated with LIPUS for either three or five days, immediately after adipogenic induction, or delayed for 2 days. Expression of adipogenic genes PPAR‐γ1, and APN, was examined by real‐time PCR. Immunofluorescence (IF) staining was performed to test for PPAR‐γ at the protein level.Results
Our data revealed that specific patterns of LIPUS up‐regulated levels of both PPAR‐γ1 and APN mRNA, and PPAR‐γ protein.Conclusions
In culture medium containing adipogenic reagents, LIPUS enhanced ASC adipogenesis.7.

Objective
Chromatin texture patterns of tumour cell nuclei can serve as cancer biomarkers, either to define diagnostic classifications or to obtain relevant prognostic information, in a large number of human tumours. Epigenetic mechanisms, mainly DNA methylation and histone post‐translational modification, have been shown to influence chromatin packing states, and therefore nuclear texture. The aim of this study was to analyse effects of these two mechanisms on chromatin texture, and also on correlation with gelatinase expression, in human fibrosarcoma tumour cells.Materials and methods
We investigated effects of DNA hypomethylating agent 5‐aza‐2′‐deoxycytidine (5‐azadC) and histone deacetylase inhibitor trichostatin A (TSA) on nuclear textural characteristics of human HT1080 fibrosarcoma cells, evaluated by image cytometry, and expression of gelatinases MMP‐2 and MMP‐9, two metalloproteinases implicated in cancer progression and metastasis.Results
5‐azadC induced significant variation in chromatin higher order organization, particularly chromatin decondensation, associated with reduction in global DNA methylation, concomitantly with increase in MMP‐9, and to a lesser extent, MMP‐2 expression. TSA alone did not have any effect on HT1080 cells, but exhibited differential activity when added to cells treated with 5‐azadC. When treated with both drugs, nuclei had higher texture abnormalities. In this setting, reduction in MMP‐9 expression was observed, whereas MMP‐2 expression remained unaffected.Conclusions
These data show that hypomethylating drug 5‐azadC and histone deacetylase inhibitor TSA were able to induce modulation of higher order chromatin organization and gelatinase expression in human HT1080 fibrosarcoma cells.8.
Loss of PPM1F expression predicts tumour recurrence and is negatively regulated by miR‐590‐3p in gastric cancer 下载免费PDF全文
Jing Zhang Ming Jin Xiaoyu Chen Rui Zhang Yanxia Huang Hui Liu Jinshui Zhu 《Cell proliferation》2018,51(4)
Objectives
MicroRNAs (miRNAs) as small non‐coding RNA molecules act by negatively regulating their target genes. Recent studies have shown that protein phosphatase Mg2+/Mn2+‐dependent 1F (PPM1F) plays a critical role in cancer metastasis. But, the regulation mechanisms of PPM1F by miRNAs in gastric cancer (GC) remain undefined.Methods
The correlation of PPM1F or miR‐590‐3p (miR‐590) expression with clinicopathological features and prognosis of the patients with GC was analysed by TCGA RNA‐sequencing data. The miRNAs that target PPM1F gene were identified by bioinformatics and Spearman correlation analysis, and the binding site between miR‐590 and PPM1F 3′UTR was confirmed by dual luciferase assay. MTT and Transwell assays were conducted to evaluate the effects of miR‐590 or (and) PPM1F on cell proliferation and invasion.Results
We found that PPM1F expression was downregulated in GC tissues and cell lines and was correlated with tumour recurrence in patients with GC. The decreased expression of PPM1F was attributed to the dysregulation of miR‐590 expression rather than its genetic or epigenetic alterations. Overexpression of miR‐590 promoted cell proliferation and invasion capability of GC cells, while knockdown of miR‐590 reversed these effects. Moreover, PPM1F was validated as a direct target of miR‐590 and counteracted the tumour‐promoting effects caused by miR‐590. The expression of miR‐590 presented the negative correlation with PPM1F expression and acted as an independent prognostic factor for tumour recurrence in patients with GC.Conclusion
PPM1F may function as a suppressive factor and is negatively regulated by miR‐590 in GC.9.

Donor specific antibodies (DSA) and a positive cross‐match are contraindications for kidney transplantation. Trials of allograft transplantation across the HLA barrier have employed desensitization strategies, including the use of plasmapheresis, intravenous immunoglobulins, anti‐B‐cell monoclonal antibodies and splenectomy, associated with high‐intensity immunosuppressive regimens. Our case 1 report suffered from repeatedly positive lymphocyte cross match after 1st renal transplantation. Graft nephrectomy could not correct the state of sensitization. Splenectomy was done in a trial to get rid of the antibody producing clone. Furthermore plasmapheresis with low dose IVIG could not as well revert the state of sensitization for the patient.Material and methods
About 50 millions donor specific MSCs were injected to the patient.Results
MSCs transfusion proved to be the only procedure which could achieve successful desensitization before performing the second transplantation owing to their immunosuppressive properties.Conclusion
This case indicates that DS‐MSCs is a potential option for anti‐HLA desensitization. In cases 2 and 3 IV DS‐MSCs transfusion was selected from the start as a successful line of treatment for pre renal transplantation desensitization to save other unnecessary lines of treatment that were tried in case 1.10.
Microparticle miRNAs as Biomarkers of Vascular Function and Inflammation Response to Aerobic Exercise in Obesity? 下载免费PDF全文
Saloua Dimassi Esma Karkeni Pascal Laurant Zouhair Tabka Jean‐François Landrier Catherine Riva 《Obesity (Silver Spring, Md.)》2018,26(10):1584-1593
Objective
This study aimed to explore the role of nine microRNAs (miRNAs) in microparticles (MPs) on the efficacy of aerobic exercise in the regulation of inflammation and vascular function in obesity.Methods
Sedentary women with normal weight (n = 6, BMI < 25 kg/m2) and women with obesity (n = 9, BMI > 30 kg/m2) were recruited at F. Hached Hospital (Sousse, Tunisia) and enrolled in an 8‐week aerobic program. Vascular function was assessed using laser Doppler flowmetry/iontophoresis, circulating MPs by flow cytometry, miRNAs by real‐time polymerase chain reaction, and inflammation by ELISA, before and after exercise.Results
Women with obesity presented with high prevalence of cardiovascular risk factors and a higher circulating MP level compared with healthy subjects. The MP miRNA profile was significantly different in the two groups. Exercise reduced BMI and inflammation in both groups and significantly improved endothelial‐dependent response (acetylcholine cutaneous vascular conductance) for healthy subjects, with a trend for women with obesity. Circulating MP level was increased after exercise, and miRNA expression was differentially modulated in both populations. Pearson analysis revealed a correlation between MPs miR‐124a and miR150 and adiponectin, TNFα, or IL‐6 levels.Conclusions
The relation between MPs and miRNA profile, inflammation, vascular function, and exercise is of particular interest for defining “miRNA biomarker signature” in patients with cardiovascular disease who are potentially susceptible to respond to exercise.11.

Loss‐of‐function of miR‐142 by hypermethylation promotes TGF‐β‐mediated tumour growth and metastasis in hepatocellular carcinoma 下载免费PDF全文
Qiangfeng Yu Leyang Xiang Libo Yin Xincheng Liu Dinghua Yang Jianyin Zhou 《Cell proliferation》2017,50(6)
Objectives
Hypermethylation‐induced epigenetic silencing of tumour suppressor genes (TSGs) are frequent events during carcinogenesis. MicroRNA‐142 (miR‐142) is found to be dysregulated in cancer patients to participate into tumour growth, metastasis and angiogenesis. However, the tumour suppressive role of miR‐142 and the status of methylation are not fully understood in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC).Methods
Hepatocellular carcinoma tissues and corresponding non‐neoplastic tissues were collected. The expression and function of miR‐142 and TGF‐β in two HCC cell lines were determined. The miRNA‐mRNA network of miR‐142 was analysed in HCC cell lines.Results
We found that the miR‐142 expression was reduced in tumour tissues and two HCC cell lines HepG2 and SMMC7721, which correlated to higher TNM stage, metastasis and differentiation. Moreover, miR‐142 was identified to directly target and inhibit transforming growth factor β (TGF‐β), leading to decreased cell vitality, proliferation, EMT and the ability of pro‐angiogenesis in TGF‐β‐dependent manner. Interestingly, the status of methylation of miR‐142 was analysed and the results found the hypermethylated miR‐142 in tumour patients and cell lines. The treatment of methylation inhibitor 5‐Aza could restore the expression of miR‐142 to suppress the TGF‐β expression, which impaired TGF‐β‐induced tumour growth.Conclusion
These findings implicated that miR‐142 was a tumour suppressor gene in HCC and often hyermethylated to increase TGF‐β‐induced development of hepatocellular carcinoma.13.

In this study, we have evaluated effects of 24‐hour treatments with simvastatin or rosuvastatin on RAS protein, NF‐κB and MMP expression in LC tissues obtained from 12 patients undergoing thoracic surgery.Materials and methods
Normal and lung tumour tissues obtained from each sample were exposed to simvastatin (2.5–30 μm ) or rosuvastatin (1.25–30 μm ) and western blot analysis was then performed.Results
We documented increased expression of proteins, MMP‐2, MMP‐9 and NF‐κB‐p65 in LC tissues, with respect to normal tissues (P < 0.01). In the malignant tissues, simvastatin and rosuvastatin significantly (P < 0.01) and dose‐dependently reduced RAS protein, MMP‐2/9 and NF‐κB‐p65 expression.Conclusions
In conclusion, our results suggest that simvastatin and rosuvastatin could play a role in LC treatment by modulation of RAS protein, MMP‐2/9 and NF‐κB‐p65.14.
Fluoxetine induces autophagic cell death via eEF2K‐AMPK‐mTOR‐ULK complex axis in triple negative breast cancer 下载免费PDF全文
Dejuan Sun Lingjuan Zhu Yuqian Zhao Yingnan Jiang Lixia Chen Yang Yu Liang Ouyang 《Cell proliferation》2018,51(2)
Objectives
Triple negative breast cancer (TNBC) is a complex and intrinsically aggressive tumour with poor prognosis, and the discovery of targeted small‐molecule drugs for TNBC treatment still remains in its infancy. In this study, we aimed to discover a small‐molecule agent for TNBC treatment and illuminate its potential mechanisms.Materials and methods
Cell viability was detected by using methylthiazoltetrazolium (MTT) assay. Electron microscopy, GFP‐LC3 transfection, monodansylcadaverine staining and apoptosis assay were performed to determine Fluoxetine‐induced autophagy and apoptosis. Western blotting and siRNA transfection were carried out to investigate the mechanisms of Fluoxetine‐induced autophagy. iTRAQ‐based proteomics analysis was used to explore the underlying mechanisms.Results
We have demonstrated that Fluoxetine had remarkable anti‐proliferative activities and induced autophagic cell death in MDA‐MB‐231 and MDA‐MB‐436 cells. The mechanism for Fluoxetine‐induced autophagic cell death was associated with inhibition of eEF2K and activation of AMPK‐mTOR‐ULK complex axis. Further iTRAQ‐based proteomics and network analyses revealed that Fluoxetine‐induced mechanism was involved in BIRC6, BNIP1, SNAP29 and Bif‐1.Conclusions
These results demonstrate that Fluoxetine induces apoptosis and autophagic cell death in TNBC, which will hold a promise for the future TNBC therapy.15.

Nanxin Liu Mi Zhou Qi Zhang Li Yong Tao Zhang Taoran Tian Quanquan Ma Shiyu Lin Bofeng Zhu Xiaoxiao Cai 《Cell proliferation》2018,51(5)
Objectives
The aim of this study was to understand the effect of substrate stiffness (a mechanical factor of the extracellular matrix) on periodontal ligament stem cells (PDLSCs) and its underlying mechanism.Materials and methods
Elastic substrates were fabricated by mixing 2 components, a base and curing agent in proportions of 10:1, 20:1, 30:1 or 40:1. PDLSC morphology was observed using scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Cell proliferation and differentiation were assessed after PDLSCs was cultured on various elastic substrates. Data were analysed using one‐way ANOVA.Results
SEM revealed variations in the morphology of PDLSCs cultured on elastic substrates. PDLSC proliferation increased with substrate stiffness (P < .05). Osteogenic differentiation of PDLSCs was higher on stiff substrates. Notch pathway markers were up‐regulated in PDLSCs cultured on stiff substrates.Conclusions
Results suggested that the osteogenic differentiation of PDLSCs might be promoted by culturing them in a stiffness‐dependent manner, which regulates the Notch pathway. This might provide a new method of enhancing osteogenesis in PDLSCs.16.
Objectives
Human CAP10‐like protein 46 kDa (hCLP46), also known as Poglut1, has been shown to be an essential regulator of Notch signalling. hCLP46 is overexpressed in primary acute myelogenous leukaemia, T‐acute lymphoblastic leukaemia samples and other leukaemia cell lines. However, effects of hCLP46 overexpression, up to now, have remained unknown.Materials and methods
In this study, we established stable 293TRex cell lines inducibly overexpressing hCLP46, and knocked down hCLP6 with a specific small interfering RNA to explore function of the protein in Notch signalling and cell proliferation.Results
hCLP46 overexpression enhanced Notch1 activation in 293Trex cells in a ligand‐dependent manner, with increased Notch signalling enhancing Hes1 expression. We further verified that overexpression of hCLP46 inhibited proliferation of 293TRexs and was correlated with increases in cyclin dependent kinase inhibitors p21 and p27, whereas reduced hCLP46 expression moderately increased cell proliferation. In addition, p21 and p27 protein levels were higher when Notch signalling was activated by EDTA treatment.Conclusions
Taken together, hCLP46 enhanced Notch activation and inhibited 293TRex cell proliferation through CDKI signalling.17.
Critical role of inflammatory mast cell in fibrosis: Potential therapeutic effect of IL‐37 下载免费PDF全文
P. Conti Al. Caraffa F. Mastrangelo L. Tettamanti G. Ronconi I. Frydas S. K. Kritas T. C. Theoharides 《Cell proliferation》2018,51(5)
Background
Fibrosis involves the activation of inflammatory cells, leading to a decrease in physiological function of the affected organ or tissue.Aims
To update and synthesize relevant information concerning fibrosis into a new hypothesis to explain the pathogenesis of fibrosis and propose potential novel therapeutic approaches.Materials and Methods
Literature was reviewed and relevant information is discussed in the context of the pathogenesis of fibrosis.Results
A number of cytokines and their mRNA are involved in the circulatory system and in organs of patients with fibrotic tissues. The profibrotic cytokines are generated by several activated immune cells, including fibroblasts and mast cells (MCs), which are important for tissue inflammatory responses to different types of injury. MC‐derived TNF, IL‐1, and IL‐33 contribute crucially to the initiation of a cascade of the host defence mechanism(s), leading to the fibrosis process. Inhibition of TNF and inflammatory cytokines may slow the progression of fibrosis and improve the pathological status of the affected subject. IL‐37 is generated by various types of immune cells and is an IL‐1 family member protein. IL‐37 is not a receptor antagonist; it binds IL‐18 receptor alpha (IL‐18Rα) and delivers the inhibitory signal by using TIR8. It has been shown that IL‐37 can be protective in inflammation and injury, and inhibits both innate and adaptive immunity.Discussion
IL‐37 may be useful for suppression of inflammatory diseases induced by inhibiting MyD88‐dependent TLR signalling. In addition, IL‐37 downregulates NF‐κB induced by TLR2 or TLR4 through a mechanism dependent on IL‐18Rα.Conclusion
This review summarizes current knowledge on the role of MC in inflammation and tissue/organ fibrosis, with a focus on the therapeutic potential of IL‐37‐targeting cytokines.18.
Sustained release of stem cell factor in a double network hydrogel for ex vivo culture of cord blood‐derived CD34+ cells 下载免费PDF全文
Objectives
Stem cell factor (SCF) is considered as a commonly indispensable cytokine for proliferation of haematopoietic stem cells (HSCs), which is used in large dosages during ex vivo culture. The work presented here aimed to reduce the consumption of SCF by sustained release but still support cells proliferation and maintain the multipotency of HSCs.Materials and methods
Stem cell factor was physically encapsulated within a hyaluronic acid/gelatin double network (HGDN) hydrogel to achieve a slow release rate. CD34+ cells were cultured within the SCF‐loaded HGDN hydrogel for 14 days. The cell number, phenotype and functional capacity were investigated after culture.Results
The HGDN hydrogels had desirable properties and encapsulated SCF kept being released for more than 6 days. SCF remained the native bioactivity, and the proliferation of HSCs within the SCF‐loaded HGDN hydrogel was not affected, although the consumption of SCF was only a quarter in comparison with the conventional culture. Moreover, CD34+ cells harvested from the SCF‐loaded HGDN hydrogels generated more multipotent colony‐forming units (CFU‐GEMM).Conclusion
The data suggested that the SCF‐loaded HGDN hydrogel could support ex vivo culture of HSCs, thus providing a cost‐effective culture protocol for HSCs.19.
