Objectives
Alzheimer's disease (AD) is one of the most prevalent brain diseases among the elderly, majority of which is caused by abnormal deposition of amyloid beta‐peptide (Aβ). Galantamine, currently the first‐line drug in treatment of AD, has been shown to diminish Aβ‐induced neurotoxicity and exert favourable neuroprotective effects, but the detail mechanisms remain unclear.Materials and methods
Effects of galantamine on Aβ‐induced cytotoxicity were checked by MTT, clone formation and apoptosis assays. The protein variations and reactive oxygen species (ROS) production were measured by western blotting analysis and dichloro‐dihydro‐fluorescein diacetate assay, respectively.Results
Galantamine reversed Aβ‐induced cell growth inhibition and apoptosis in neuron cells PC12. Aβ activated the entire autophagy flux and accumulation of autophagosomes, and the inhibition of autophagy decreased the protein level of cleaved‐caspase‐3 and Aβ‐induced cytotoxicity. Meanwhile, galantamine suppressed Aβ‐mediated autophagy flux and accumulation of autophagosomes. Moreover, Aβ upregulated ROS accumulation, while ROS scavengers N‐acetyl‐l ‐cysteine impaired Aβ‐mediated autophagy. Further investigation showed that galantamine downregulated NOX4 expression to inhibit Aβ‐mediated ROS accumulation and autophagy.Conclusions
Galantamine inhibits Aβ‐induced cytostatic autophagy through decreasing ROS accumulation, providing new insights into deep understanding of AD progression and molecular basis of galantamine in neuroprotection.2.

Diabetic nephropathy is a major complication of diabetes and a frequent cause of end‐stage renal disease and recent studies suggest that podocyte damage may play a role in the pathogenesis of this. At early onset of diabetic nephropathy there is podocyte drop‐out, which is thought to provoke glomerular albuminuria and subsequent glomerular injury; however, the underlying molecular mechanisms of this remain poorly understood. Here we report that we tested the hypothesis that early diabetic podocyte injury is caused, at least in part, by up‐regulation of transient receptor potential cation channel 6 (TRPC6), which is regulated by the canonical Wnt signalling pathway, in mouse podocytes.Materials and methods
Mechanism of injury initiation in mouse podocytes, by high concentration of D‐glucose (HG, 30 mM), was investigated by MTT, flow cytometry, real‐time quantitative PCR, and western blot analysis.Results
HG induced apoptosis and reduced viability of differentiated podocytes. It caused time‐dependent up‐regulation of TRPC6 and activation of the canonical Wnt signalling pathway, in mouse podocytes. In these cells, blockade of the Wnt signalling pathway by dickkopf related protein 1 (Dkk1) resulted in effective reduction of TRPC6 up‐regulation and amelioration of podocyte apoptosis. Furthermore, reduction of cell viability induced by HG was attenuated by treatment with Dkk1.Conclusion
These findings indicate that the Wnt/β‐catenin signalling pathway may potentially be active in pathogenesis of TRPC6‐mediated diabetic podocyte injury.3.

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.4.
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.5.

Combined Erlotinib and PF‐03084014 treatment contributes to synthetic lethality in head and neck squamous cell carcinoma 下载免费PDF全文
Yang Zheng Zhao Wang Xu Ding Yibo Dong Wei Zhang Wei Zhang Yi Zhong Wenyi Gu Yunong Wu Xiaomeng Song 《Cell proliferation》2018,51(3)
Objectives
Head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) is characterized by high mortality and low survival rates. As an epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) inhibitor, Erlotinib has been approved for treatment of various tumours. PF‐03084014 is a selective inhibitor of Notch1 signalling. This study aimed to explore new approaches for simultaneously targeting EGFR and Notch1 signalling to attenuate tumour growth and improve survival.Materials and methods
Cell proliferation was determined by CCK‐8 assay and Flow cytometry. Cell invasive ability was determined by Transwell assay. Western blot was used to test the expression of Notch1 and EGFR pathway. Cleaved Caspase‐3 staining and TUNEL assay were used to verify the apoptosis through combined treatment.Results
We first confirmed proliferative inhibition and cell death in HNSCC with combined Erlotinib and PF‐03084014 treatment. Moreover, we found PF‐03084014 reversed the increased invasion induced by Erlotinib. In a preclinical therapeutic drug trial in vivo, combined treatment effectively abrogated tumour growth. Most importantly, one mechanism was found that PF‐03084014 alone could activate the PI3K/AKT signalling, the downstream of EGFR signalling, and Erlotinib alone could activate the intracellular domain of Notch1 (NICD), while combined treatment of PF‐03084014 and Erlotinib suppressed the HNSCC growth.Conclusions
These results suggested that concomitant inhibition of the Notch1 and EGFR pathways represented a rational strategy for promoting apoptosis in HNSCC and overcoming treatment resistance.7.
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.8.
Finasteride accelerates prostate wound healing after thulium laser resection through DHT and AR signalling 下载免费PDF全文
Ruizhe Zhao Xingjie Wang Chenyi Jiang Fei Shi Yiping Zhu Boyu Yang Jian Zhuo Yifeng Jing Guangheng Luo Shujie Xia Bangmin Han 《Cell proliferation》2018,51(3)
Objectives
Urinary tract infection, urinary frequency, urgency, urodynia and haemorrhage are common post‐operative complications of thulium laser resection of the prostate (TmLRP). Our study mainly focuses on the role of finasteride in prostate wound healing through AR signalling.Materials and methods
TmLRP beagles were randomly distributed into different treatment groups. Serum and intra‐prostatic testosterone and DHT level were determined. Histological analysis was conducted to study the re‐epithelialization and inflammatory response of the prostatic urethra in each group. We investigated the role of androgen in proliferation and inflammatory response in prostate. In addition, the effects of TNF‐α on prostate epithelium and stromal cells were also investigated.Results
Testosterone and DHT level increased in testosterone group and DHT decreased in finasteride group. Accelerated wound healing of prostatic urethra was observed in the finasteride group. DHT suppressed proliferation of prostate epithelium and enhanced inflammatory response in prostate. We confirmed that DHT enhanced macrophages TNF‐α secretion through AR signalling. TNF‐α suppressed proliferation of prostate epithelial cells and retarded cell migration. TNF‐α also played a pivotal role in suppressing fibroblasts activation and contraction.Conclusion
Testosterone treatment repressed re‐epithelialization and wound healing of prostatic urethra. Finasteride treatment may be an effective way to promote prostate re‐epithelialization.9.
Blockade of receptors of advanced glycation end products ameliorates diabetic osteogenesis of adipose‐derived stem cells through DNA methylation and Wnt signalling pathway 下载免费PDF全文
Maorui Zhang Yong Li Pengcheng Rao Kui Huang Daowen Luo Xiaoxiao Cai Jingang Xiao 《Cell proliferation》2018,51(5)
Objectives
Diabetes mellitus‐related osteoporosis is caused by the imbalance between bone absorption and bone formation. Advanced glycation end products (AGEs) are considered a cause of diabetic osteoporosis. Although adipose‐derived stem cells (ASCs) are promising adult stem cells in bone tissue regeneration, the ability of osteogenesis of ASCs in diabetic environment needs to explore. This study aimed to investigate the influence of AGEs on the osteogenic potential of ASCs and to explore the signalling pathways involved in its effect.Materials and methods
ASCs were isolated from inguinal fat and cultured in osteogenic media with or without AGEs and FPS‐ZM1, an inhibitor of receptor for AGEs (RAGE). Alizarin red‐S, Oil Red‐O and Alcian blue staining were used to confirm osteogenic, adipogenic and chondrogenic potential of ASCs, respectively. Immunofluorescence, western blotting and real‐time PCR were used to measure changes in markers of osteogenic differentiation, DNA methylation and Wnt signalling.Results
The multipotentiality of ASCs was confirmed. Treated with AGEs, OPN and RUNX2 expressions of ASCs were reduced and there was a noticeable loss of mineralization, concomitant with an increase in the expression of RAGE, 5‐MC, DNMT1 and DNMT3a. AGEs treatment also led to a loss of Wnt signalling pathway markers, including β‐Catenin and LEF1, with an increase in GSK‐3β. Treatment with the RAGE inhibitor, FPS‐ZM1, rescued AGEs‐induced loss of osteogenic potential, modulated DNA methylation and upregulated Wnt signalling in ASCs.Conclusions
Our results demonstrate that AGEs‐RAGE signalling inhibits the osteogenic potential of ASCs under osteoinductive conditions by modulating DNA methylation and Wnt signalling. FPS‐ZM1 can rescue the negative effects of AGEs and provide a possible treatment for bone tissue regeneration in patients with diabetic osteoporosis.10.

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.11.

Knockdown of ubiquitin D inhibits adipogenesis during the differentiation of porcine intramuscular and subcutaneous preadipocytes 下载免费PDF全文
Chen Zhao Xiangping Yao Xiaochang Chen Wenjing Wu Fengxue Xi Gongshe Yang Taiyong Yu 《Cell proliferation》2018,51(2)
Objectives
Intramuscular fat (IMF) has a significant influence on porcine meat quality. Ubiquitin D (UBD) is involved in the management of diverse intracellular processes. However, its physiological functions in adipose cell differentiation and proliferation are still poorly defined.Materials and methods
Intramuscular and subcutaneous preadipocytes were isolated from the longissimus dorsi and neck subcutaneous deposits of Chinese native Guanzhong Black piglets (3‐5 days old), respectively. Lentivirus with short hairpin RNA (shRNA) for UBD was applied to knockdown UBD expression. We used real‐time PCR and Western blot analysis to detect gene expression. Lipid droplets were dyed with Oil Red O, and cell proliferation was assessed using flow cytometry, 5‐ethynyl‐2′‐deoxyuridine incorporation and cell counting assays.Results
Lipogenesis through the Akt/mTOR pathway was inhibited when preadipocytes were transfected with UBD shRNA. The expression of adipogenic genes and the number of lipid droplets were obviously diminished. Moreover, repression of UBD attenuated cell proliferation. UBD downregulation resulted in cell cycle arrest because of a decreased proportion of S‐phase cells, and the expression of positive cell proliferation markers was significantly decreased.Conclusion
These observations illustrated that knockdown of UBD partially suppressed porcine intramuscular and subcutaneous preadipocyte adipogenesis through the Akt/mTOR signalling and inhibited cell proliferation, suggesting the essential role of UBD in the differentiation of preadipocytes.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‐p65.16.

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 1.17.

Sprouty (SPRY) 1 is one of the SPRY proteins that inhibits signalling from various growth factors pathways and has also been known as a tumour suppressor in various malignancies. However, no study elucidates the role of SPRY1 in the skin. Our study was conducted to determine the function of SPRY1 in human keratinocytes and the epidermis.Materials and methods
In vitro primary cultured epidermal keratinocytes were used to investigate the proliferation, differentiation and apoptosis of these cells. We also established overexpression of SPRY1 in vitro and K14‐SPRY1 transgenic mice.Results
SPRY1 was mainly located in the cytoplasm of the epidermal keratinocytes from the granular epidermal layer of the skin and cultured cells. Overexpressed SPRY1 in keratinocytes resulted in up‐regulation of P21, P27 and down‐regulation of cyclin B1; decrease in MMP3 and integrin α6. SPRY1‐overexpressed primary keratinocytes exhibited a lower proliferation and migration capability and higher rates of apoptosis. Epidermis of SPRY1‐TG mice represented delayed wound healing. Proteomics analysis and GO enrichment showed DEPs of SPRY1 TG mice epidermis is significantly enriched in immune‐ and inflammatory‐associated biological process.Conclusions
In summary, SPRY1 expression was inversely correlated with cell proliferation, migration and promote cell apoptosis of keratinocytes. SPRY1 maybe a negative feedback regulator in normal human epidermal keratinocytes and cutaneous inflammatory responses. Our study raised the possibility that enhancing expression of SPRY1 may have the potential to promote anti‐inflammatory effects.18.

Objective
β‐catenin is one of the most critical oncogenes associated with many kinds of human cancers, especially in the human CRC. Innate immunity recognizes tumour derived damage‐associated molecular patterns (DAMPs) and primes the anti‐tumour adaptive responses. While the function of β‐catenin in CRC tumourigenesis is well established, its impact on innate immune evasion is largely unknown. The aim of this study is to characterize the role of β‐catenin in inhibiting RIG‐I‐like receptor (RLR)‐mediated IFN‐β signalling in colorectal cancer.Materials and Methods
Immunohistochemical staining and western blotting were conducted to study the expression of β‐catenin, IRF3 and phospho‐IRF3 (p‐IRF3) in CRC samples and cell lines. Plaque assay determining virus replication was performed to assess the regulation of β‐catenin on IFN‐β signalling. The inhibition of β‐catenin on RLR‐mediated IFN‐β signalling was further studied by real‐time analyses and reporter assays in the context of lentiviral‐mediated β‐catenin stably knocking down. Lastly, co‐immunoprecipitation and nuclear fractionation assay were conducted to monitor the interaction between β‐catenin and IRF3.Results
We found that high expression of β‐catenin positively correlated with the expression of IRF3 in CRC cells. Overexpression of β‐catenin increased the viral replication. Conversely knocking down of β‐catenin inhibited viral replication. Furthermore, our data demonstrated that β‐catenin could inhibit the expression of IFN‐β and interferon‐stimulated gene 56 (ISG56). Mechanistically, we found that β‐catenin interacted with IRF3 and blocked its nuclear translocation.Conclusion
Our study reveals an unprecedented role of β‐catenin in enabling innate immune evasion in CRC.19.
PLCγ2 promotes apoptosis while inhibits proliferation in rat hepatocytes through PKCD/JNK MAPK and PKCD/p38 MAPK signalling 下载免费PDF全文
Objectives
The PLCG2 (PLCγ2) gene is a member of PLC gene family encoding transmembrane signalling enzymes involved in various biological processes including cell proliferation and apoptosis. Our earlier study indicated that PLCγ2 may be involved in the termination of regeneration of the liver which is mainly composed of hepatocytes, but its exact biological function and molecular mechanism in liver regeneration termination remains unclear. This study aims to examine the role of PLCγ2 in the growth of hepatocytes.Materials and methods
A recombinant adenovirus expressing PLCγ2 was used to infect primary rat hepatocytes. PLCγ2 mRNA and protein levels were detected by qRT‐PCR and Western blot. The subcellular location of PLCγ2 protein was tested by an immunofluorescence assay. The proliferation of hepatocytes was measured by MTT assay. The cell cycle and apoptosis were analysed by flow cytometry. Caspase‐3, ‐8 and ‐9 activities were measured by a spectrophotometry method. Phosphorylation levels of PKCD, JNK and p38 in the infected cells were detected by Western blot. The possible mechanism underlying the role of PLCγ2 in hepatocyte growth was also explored by adding a signalling pathway inhibitor.Results
Hepatocyte proliferation was dramatically reduced, while cell apoptosis was remarkably increased. The results demonstrated that PLCγ2 increased the phosphorylation of PKCD, p38 and JNK in rat hepatocytes. After PKCD activity was inhibited by the inhibitor Go 6983, the levels of both p‐p38 and p‐JNK MAPKs significantly decreased, and PLCγ2‐induced cell proliferation inhibition and cell apoptosis were obviously reversed.Conclusions
This study showed that PLCγ2 regulates hepatocyte growth through PKCD‐dependently activating p38 MAPK and JNK MAPK pathways; this result was experimentally based on the further exploration of the effect of PLCγ2 on hepatocyte growth in vivo.20.
