肿瘤相关应激分子p8

p8是在研究急性胰腺损伤的分子机制中首先鉴定得到的一个小分子核蛋白。胰腺、肝脏、肾脏等诸多脏器受到损伤刺激后,p8能够在短时间内迅速、高水平地上调,被认为是一个应激分子。进一步研究显示,p8在包括胰腺癌、乳腺癌、甲状腺癌及前列腺癌等多种肿瘤中存在差异表达,并通过影响细胞的生长、凋亡及转移等过程参与肿瘤的发生、发展。但关于p8在肿瘤中的作用,不同研究的结果并不一致。我们简要综述p8在肿瘤中的作用。     

p8-应激调节的多功能核蛋白

1997年,Iovanna等在研究急性胰腺损伤的分子变化中首先克隆得到了p8基因.人的p8分子是一个由82个氨基酸组成的小分子核蛋白,分子内含有一个保守的核定位序列,蛋白质二级结构与HMG-I/Y蛋白十分相似,该分子在包括胰腺、肝脏、肾脏在内的诸多脏器受到损伤刺激后,能够在短时间内迅速、高水平地上调,因此被认为是一个应激分子(stress associated protein).随后的研究显示该基因具有复杂的表达调节模式,在个体发育、肿瘤形成、组织损伤、心肌肥大以及糖尿病性肾病中都发挥重要作用,并且其功能表现在不同组织、细胞中不尽相同.     

8p杂合性缺失与膀胱肿瘤的关系

肿瘤遗传学和分子生物学研究表明,癌症的发生是由癌基因的激活及抑癌基因失活的结果,而抑癌基因的失活可能在其中起着更为关键的作用。抑癌基因（tumor suppressor gene）是能够抑制细胞的恶性转化,对正常细胞的增殖起负性调节的基因。抑癌基因的失活常常表现为一个等位基因丢失（allelic loss）和另一个存留等位基因（retained allele）突变。其中,等位基因丢失就是由肿瘤中常见的染色体区域或节段缺失所致,它同时还会伴有抑癌基因座位相邻区域的杂合性缺失（loss of heterozygosity,LOH）。IDH是指肿瘤基因中特定染色体上某种DNA多态标记的等位基因片段由同一患正常组织基因组的两种变成一种,即等位基因型由杂合子变成纯合子。IDH是肿瘤细胞中染色体缺失的表现。

6p21.2–p12.3 deletion detected by aCGH in an 8-year-old girl with cleidocranial dysplasia and developmental delay

We present an 8-year-old girl with cleidocranial dysplasia, psychomotor developmental delay, poor wound healing and a 6p21.2–p12.3 deletion detected by aCGH. The patient was previously found to have a normal karyotype on conventional cytogenetic analysis and no RUNX2 mutation on sequence analysis. We discuss the genotype–phenotype correlation and the consequence of haploinsufficiency of CUL7, VEGFA, NFKBIE and RUNX2 in this case.     

Mapping of the Gene Encoding Human β-Defensin-2 (DEFB2) to Chromosome Region 8p22–p23.1

We recently reported the isolation of human β-defensin-2 (hBD-2), a novel epithelia-derived peptide antibiotic belonging to the β-defensin family. hBD-2 is expressed in skin and epithelia of the airway system, where it is believed to contribute to its antimicrobial defense. By fluorescencein situhybridization using a hBD-2 genomic DNA probe and subsequent fluorescence R-banding, the hBD-2 gene (HGMW-approved symbol DEFB2) was assigned to human chromosome region 8p22–p23.1. PCR with a set of CEPH YAC clones spanning this chromosomal region revealed CEPH YACs 773G4, 920D12, and 820B4 to contain the hBD-2 gene. Relying on the preexisting physical maps of 8p22–p23.1, the hBD-2 gene was mapped in close proximity to D8S1993 (WI-9956) within the interval flanked by D8S552 and D8S1130 (CHLC.GATA25C10). The fact that all currently described genes encoding defensins map to chromosome 8p21–pter suggests that a gene cluster in this chromosomal region may play a major role in antimicrobial defense.

Linkage analysis of prostate cancer susceptibility: confirmation of linkage at 8p22–23

Frequent loss of heterogeneity in prostate cancer cells and linkage studies of families affected by hereditary prostate cancer (HPC) have implied that the short arm of chromosome 8, specifically 8p22-23, may harbor a prostate-cancer-susceptibility gene. In a recent study, seven potentially important mutations in the macrophage scavenger receptor 1 gene (MSR1), located at 8p22, were observed in families affected with HPC, and an indication of co-segregation between these mutations and prostate cancer was reported. In an attempt to confirm linkage at 8p22-23, we performed linkage analyses in 57 families affected with HPC (ascertained throughout Sweden) by using 13 markers on the short arm of chromosome 8. In the complete set of families, evidence for prostate cancer linkage was observed at 8p22-23, with a peak hold of 1.08 (P=0.03), observed at D8S1731, approximately 1 cM centromeric to the MSR1 gene. At marker D8S1135, the closest marker to MSR1, a hlod of 1.07 (P=0.03) was observed. Evidence of linkage was seen in families with early-onset HPC and in families with a small number of affected individuals. The peak multipoint non-parametric linkage score was 2.01 (P=0.03) at D8S552 in the 14 pedigrees with mean age at onset <65 years, and 2.25 (P=0.01) at D8S1731 in the 36 pedigrees with fewer than five affected family members. Thus, we have confirmed evidence for prostate cancer linkage at 8p22-23. Follow-up studies to evaluate the possible association between prostate cancer and genes in this region, especially the MSR1 gene, are warranted.     

MiR-18b-5p对人滋养细胞系HTR-8细胞迁移功能的影响

目的:通过研究子痫前期胎盘组织中低表达的miR-18b-5p(微小RNA18b-5p)对人滋养细胞系HTR-8迁移能力的影响,进一步探讨miR-18b-5p在子痫前期发病过程中的作用。方法:将化学合成的miR-18b-5p inhibitor、miR-18b-5p inhibitor NC,采用瞬时转染的方法将miR-18b-5p inhibitor转入人滋养细胞系HTR-8中设为实验组;miR-18b-5p inhibitor NC转入HTR-8细胞中设为阴性对照组;空白转染组为空白对照组。应用Realtime RT-PCR技术检测各组miR-18b-5p在mRNA水平的表达,同时采用微孔滤膜培养小室及双室联合培养系统(Transwell实验)检测实验组与对照组细胞迁移能力的变化。结果:Realtime RT-PCR结果显示:转染miR-18b-5p inhibitor后miR-18b-5p的表达量分别与阴性对照组和空白对照组相比明显降低,差异具有统计学意义(P0.05)。Transwell实验结果显示miR-18b-5p inhibitor组与两对照组相比细胞的迁移能力明显降低,差异具有统计学意义(P0.05)。结论:在HTR-8细胞中降调节miR-18b-5p可以显著的降低细胞的迁移能力,推测病理性低表达的miR-18b-5p有可能通过降低滋养细胞的迁移能力,使妊娠早期细胞滋养细胞从固体绒毛顶端迁出减少,导致覆盖合体滋养细胞进而形成具有增殖能力的细胞簇减少,最终造成滋养层浅表植入,从而引起子痫前期的发生。     

低剂量顺铂通过p38MAPK介导的DNMT1下调降低p21与p16启动子甲基化上调p21与p16表达

低剂量顺铂可通过诱导p21与p16表达而诱导肿瘤细胞早衰,但其机制不明。本研究探讨了低剂量顺铂诱导的HeLa细胞衰老过程中p21与p16的上调机制。低剂量顺铂（4 μmol/L）处理HeLa细胞后,DNA甲基转移酶DNMT1蛋白水平降低;p21与p16启动子甲基化水平降低,二者mRNA及蛋白质水平升高;顺铂对DNMT1蛋白水平的降低作用与其激活p38MAPK有关,用SB203580抑制p38MAPK可部分逆转顺铂对DNMT1蛋白水平以及p21与p16启动子甲基化的降低作用,从而部分逆转顺铂对p21与p16表达的诱导;抑制p38MAPK 也可部分逆转低剂量顺铂诱导的HeLa细胞早衰。上述结果表明,低剂量顺铂可通过p38MAPK信号通路下调p21与p16启动子甲基化水平,进而上调二者的表达。这些结果为解析低剂量顺铂诱导肿瘤细胞早衰的信号转导机制提供了实验依据。     

Are p27 and p21 Cytoplasmic Oncoproteins?

By causing cytoplasmic mislocation of p27 and p21, the Akt oncogenic kinase functionally inactivates these nuclear tumor suppressor proteins. Is cytoplasmic localization of p27 and p21 simply equivalent to loss of their function or are new functions acquired in the cytoplasm? Indeed, several lines of evidence suggest that cytoplasmic p27 and p21 may be oncoproteins with antiapoptotic activities.

Direct duplication 2p14→2p23

Summary A malformed male newborn was first diagnosed as having Smith-Lemli-Opitz syndrome. Extensive cytogenetic studies, including Q, G, C, R and T banding and BudR treatment, were applied, finally leading the authors to conclude that the patient had a partial 2p trisomy caused by direct duplication 2p142p23. This was a de novo chromosome abnormality, as both parents had normal karyotypes.
