观察NK4通过拮抗肝细胞生长因子(HGF)诱导不同肿瘤细胞凋亡,研究其生物学作用及分子机制.以足叶乙甙(VP-16)诱导凋亡,分别或经HGF蛋白、NK4蛋白处理5种肿瘤细胞(B细胞淋巴瘤细胞系Raji、人急性粒细胞白血病细胞系HL-60、宫颈癌细胞系HeLa、前列腺癌细胞系PC-3、非小细胞肺癌细胞系A549),采用流式细胞术(FCM)、吖啶橙 (AO) 染色法、苏木素 伊红(HE)染色法定量观察5种肿瘤细胞的凋亡情况,并进行相关分析. FCM发现,经VP-16处理5种肿瘤细胞凋亡率均显著高于对照组(P<0.001),而HGF+VP-16组凋亡率明显下降(P<0.01),HGF+NK4+VP-16组细胞凋亡率均明显高于HGF+VP-16组(P<0.05). AO染色和HE染色结果也证实,5种肿瘤细胞经VP-16处理后凋亡率均显著增高 (P<0.001,P<0.001),而HGF+VP-16组细胞凋亡率均明显低于VP-16组(P<0.001,P<0.01), HGF+NK4+VP-16组细胞凋亡率均明显高于HGF+VP-16组(P<0.001,P<0.05).此外,发现NK4+VP-16组、HGF+ NK4+VP-16组、VP-16组等3组间凋亡率无统计学差异(P>0.05). 以上结果提示,HGF蛋白可抵抗凋亡诱导剂VP-16的作用, 明显降低细胞凋亡;NK4通过竞争性抑制HGF从而促进肿瘤细胞的凋亡,具有潜在的肿瘤治疗价值.  相似文献

血管内皮生长因子(vascular endothelial growth factor,VEGF)家族及其受体已被公认在促进血管生成中起关键作用,大量研究证实其与肿瘤生长及血管生成具有相关性.胎盘生长因子(placental growth factor,PlGF)为VEGF家族的一个成员,与其受体VEGFR-1可以通过特异性结合而产生生物学活性.P1GF在正常组织中几乎不表达,但在病理条件下,其在一些细胞中表达增加.在肿瘤生长和血管生成的基础研究中,P1GF的作用备受争议.PlGF在人类多种肿瘤组织中表达,并且在部分肿瘤中其表达水平与预后不良相关.抗P1GF治疗可抑制血管生成及肿瘤细胞生长.同抗VEGF治疗相比,抗P1GF治疗副作用较小,而且不损害健康血管.现就P1GF及其与肿瘤相关研究予以综述.  相似文献

血管新生是许多生理和病理进程发生的重要机理.在生物体内,血管新生需经过多步精细调控历程,现有研究表明,血管内皮生长因子(VEGF)及其受体蛋白酪氨酸激酶,尤其是血管内皮生长因子受体-2(VEGFR-2)所介导的信号级联通路是其中关键性的调节途径.VEGF/VEGFR-2所介导的信号级联通路可以调控血管内皮细胞的增殖、迁移、存活和通透性的改变,促进血管的新生.VEGF与VEGFR-2的胞外区特异性结合后,引起受体的二聚化和自身的交互磷酸化,使胞内特定的酪氨酸残基磷酸化.下游信号蛋白可以通过其Src同源结构域-2(SH2)与VEGFR-2结合,随后激活下游的效应蛋白,调控内皮细胞的生物学活性.此外,VEGF/VEGFR-2信号通路还可以下调树突细胞(DC)的活性.对VEGF/VEGFR-2信号通路作用的深入了解,将有助于新药的研发.  相似文献

BACKGROUND: Increasing the local blood flow is a critical factor for long-term survival of skin flaps. Thus, a molecular therapy to increase the blood flow by means of an angiogenic factor is considered to be a useful strategy to improve skin flap survival. We focused on a combined strategy to stimulate not only angiogenesis, but also vasodilation of local microvessels, using co-transfection of the hepatocyte growth factor (HGF) and prostacyclin synthase (PGIS) genes to enhance the survival of random-pattern skin flaps. METHODS AND RESULTS: A 2 x 8 cm full thickness cranial pedicled random-pattern flap was made on the back of each 12-week-old male rat. At 3 days before operation, 400 microg of human HGF and PGIS naked plasmid DNA or control plasmid was transfected into the flaps by needle-less injection using a Shima Jet, resulting in successful expression of human HGF and PGIS in the skin flaps. Transfection of both genes into the distal half of skin flaps at 3 days prior to operation significantly increased the survival rate of skin flaps, while transfection all over the flaps did not. In addition, transfection prior to operation was more effective than simultaneous treatment. Moreover, co-transfection of these genes improved the survival area of skin flaps, accompanied by an increase in blood flow of skin flaps, even in a diabetic model. CONCLUSIONS: Overall, these results indicate that combination treatment with HGF and PGIS genes by Shima Jet could be an effective strategy to improve skin flap survival.  相似文献

Background information. Endothelial cells play a major role in angiogenesis, the process by which new blood vessels arise from a pre‐existing vascular bed. VEGF‐A (vascular endothelial growth factor‐A) is a key regulator of angiogenesis during both development and in adults. HGF (hepatocyte growth factor) is a pleiotropic cytokine that may promote VEGF‐A‐driven angiogenesis, although the signalling mechanisms underlying this co‐operation are not completely understood. Results. We analysed the effects of the combination of VEGF‐A and HGF on the activation of VEGFR‐2 (VEGF receptor‐2) and c‐met receptors, and on the stimulation of downstream signalling pathways in endothelial cells. We found that VEGFR‐2 and c‐met do not physically associate and do not transphosphorylate each other, suggesting that co‐operation involves signalling events more distal from receptor activation. We demonstrate that the VEGF isoform VEGF‐A165 and HGF stimulate a similar set of MAPKs (mitogen‐activated protein kinases), although the kinetics and strengths of the activation differ depending on the growth factor and pathway. An enhanced activation of the signalling was observed when endothelial cells were stimulated by the combination of VEGF‐A165 and HGF. Moreover, the combination of VEGF‐A and HGF results in a statistically significant synergistic activation of ERK1/2 (extracellular‐signal‐regulated kinase 1/2) and p38 kinases. We demonstrated that VEGF‐A165 and HGF activate FAK (focal adhesion kinase) with different kinetics and stimulate the recruitment of phosphorylated FAK to different subsets of focal adhesions. VEGF‐A165 and HGF regulate distinct morphogenic aspects of the cytoskeletal remodelling that are associated with the preferential activation of Rho or Rac respectively, and induce structurally distinct vascular‐like patterns in vitro in a Rho‐ or Rac‐dependent manner. Conclusions. Under angiogenic conditions, combining VEGF‐A with HGF can promote neovascularization by enhancing intracellular signalling and allowing more finely regulated control of the signalling molecules involved in the regulation of the cytoskeleton and cellular migration and morphogenesis.  相似文献

Hepatocyte growth factor (HGF) plays a crucial role in the recovery of injured liver. Liver functions are mostly impaired in patients with liver diseases including cirrhosis. However, a significant amount of inactive HGF precursor (proHGF) is reported in the plasma of these patients. proHGF is proteolytically converted to an active form (mature HGF) by HGF-activator. Thus conversion of proHGF into mature HGF presumably contributes to the recovery of liver functions. In this study, rats with a partial hepatectomy were used, as proHGF is accumulated in the remnant liver. Recombinant human HGF-activator was administered via the portal vein to investigate the effect on molecular forms of HGF and its biological signaling. rhHGF-activator promptly converted proHGF into mature HGF, reaching maximal levels at 5-10 min after the injection, while the decreased proHGF was quickly recovered to the initial levels in the liver. The HGF receptor/c-Met was found to be autophosphorylated in the liver treated with rhHGF-activator. Further, the proliferating cell nuclear antigen labeling index and the liver regeneration rate were significantly higher in rhHGF-activator group than in control animals. These results indicate that exogenously administered HGF-activator produces a biologically active HGF from its precursor form and increases the potential for liver regeneration in vivo.  相似文献

Poor prognosis and low survival are commonly seen in patients with glioblastoma multiforme (GBM). Due to the specific nature of solid tumors such as GBM, delivery of therapeutic agents to the tumor sites is difficult. So, one of the major challenges in the treatment of these tumors is a selection of appropriate method for drug delivery. Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) have a unique characteristic in migration toward the tumor tissue. In this regard, the present study examined the antitumor effects of manipulating human placenta-derived mesenchymal stem cells (PDMSCs) with NK4 expression (PDMSC-NK4) on GBM cells. After separation and characterization of PDMSCs, these cells were transduced with NK4 which was known as the antagonist of hepatocyte growth factor (HGF). The results indicated that engineered PDMSCs preferably migrate into GBM cells by transwell coculture system. In addition, the proliferation of the GBM cells significantly reduced after coculture with these cells. In fact, manipulated PDMSCs inhibited growth of tumor cells by induction of apoptosis. Our findings suggested that besides having antitumor effects, PDMSCs can also be applied as an ideal cellular vehicle to target the glioblastoma multiforme.  相似文献

NK4, originally prepared as a competitive antagonist for hepatocyte growth factor (HGF), is a bifunctional molecule that acts as an HGF-antagonist and angiogenesis inhibitor. When the expression plasmid for NK4 gene was administered into mice by hydrodynamics-based delivery, the repetitive increase in the plasma NK4 protein level was achieved by repetitive administration of NK4 gene. Mice were subcutaneously implanted with colon cancer cells and weekly given with the NK4 plasmid. The repetitive delivery and expression of NK4 gene inhibited angiogenesis and invasiveness of colon cancer cells in subcutaneous tumor tissue and this was associated with suppression of primary tumor growth. By fifty days after tumor implantation, cancer cells naturally metastasized to the liver, whereas NK4 gene expression potently inhibited liver metastasis. Inhibition of the HGF-Met receptor pathway and tumor angiogenesis by NK4 gene expression has potential therapeutic value toward inhibition of invasion, growth, and metastasis of colon cancer.  相似文献
