c-ski对大鼠皮肤成纤维细胞增殖的调节作用及机制

c-ski是成纤维细胞增殖的复杂调节子,它对中胚层来源的皮肤成纤维细胞增殖的作用还不清楚。在观察正常成纤维细胞周期c-ski表达的时相特点的基础上,通过体外转染c-ski,观察它对细胞增殖活性、细胞周期进展以及周期蛋白表达的影响。结果显示：c-ski mRNA表达在加入血清后开始升高,在细胞周期G,期的高峰期达到峰值,S期显著下降,在G2／M期维持在较低的水平：转染的c-ski可以以剂量依赖的方式增加细胞的增殖活性,并且可以逆转Smad3对细胞增殖活性的抑制作用;C-ski使成纤维细胞提前达到G0／G1期的最低点,进入S期：同时细胞G1期周期蛋白cyclinD的表达增加。这些结果表明：C-ski是皮肤成纤维细胞G1期的调节子,通过加快G1期进展促进增殖,抑制Smad3活性,促进cyclinD的表达可能与这一作用的分子机制有关。     

孕激素诱导cyclin G1在小鼠子宫内膜上皮细胞的表达及其对细胞增殖的影响

本文在体外培养条件下研究卵巢激素诱导小鼠子宫内膜上皮细胞cyclin G1的表达及细胞增殖和细胞周期进程的变化,以探讨孕激素依赖的细胞周期调控因子cyclin G1对子宫内膜上皮细胞增殖的负调控作用.原代培养小鼠子宫内膜上皮细胞,待其生长汇合后分为4组:对照组(C组)、雌激素组(E组)、孕激素组(P组)、雌、孕激素共同作用组(EP组).加入相应激素作用24 h后,用细胞免疫化学方法检测各组细胞cyclin G1的表达水平:四甲基偶氮唑蓝(MTT)比色法检测各组细胞活力,间接观察子宫内膜上皮细胞的增殖情况;用流式细胞仪检测分布在细胞周期各时相的子宫内膜上皮细胞所占百分数.细胞免疫化学结果显示,cyclin G1在C组和E组子宫内膜上皮细胞上无明显表达,而在P组和EP组子宫内膜上皮细胞中表达明显,且定位于细胞核内.MTT法结果显示,与C组相比,E组细胞活力明显增高,而P组和EP组的细胞活力均明显下降,表明雌激素能促进子宫内膜上皮细胞增殖,而孕激素则具有抑制子宫内膜上皮细胞增殖的作用.流式细胞术检测显示,与C组相比,E组中处于S期的子宫内膜上皮细胞百分数增多;P组与EP组中处于S期的子宫内膜上皮细胞百分数明显减少,而处于G1期的细胞百分数和G2/M期的细胞百分数则明显增加.上述结果提示,孕激素依赖的cyclin G1可能通过阻滞细胞周期进程来参与孕激素对子宫内膜上皮细胞增殖的负调控作用.

Cell cycle-dependent proteolysis and ectopic overexpression of cyclin B1 in tobacco BY2 cells

Activation of cyclin B/Cdc2 kinase complex triggers entry into mitosis in all eukaryotic cells. Although cyclin gene expression has been extensively studied in plants, not much is known at the level of the protein stability and function. Here, we demonstrated by using the highly synchronizable tobacco BY2 cell culture, that endogenous cyclin B1 protein undergoes cell cycle-dependent proteolysis and is stabilized when the spindle checkpoint has been activated. Furthermore, we established transgenic tobacco BY2 cell cultures expressing under the control of an inducible promoter, cyclin B1 protein as well as its non-degradable form as fusion proteins with GFP and found that the ectopic expression of these proteins did not dramatically disturb the cell cycle progression. These results indicate that, to a certain extent, cell cycle exit is possible without cyclin B1 proteolysis.     

The modulation of radiation-induced cell death by genistein in K562 cells：Activation of thymidine kinase 1

Ionizing radiation is one of the most effective tools in cancer therapy. In a previous study, we reported that protein tyrosine kinase (PTK) inhibitors modulate the radiation responses in the human chronic myelogenous leukemia (CML) cell line K562. The receptor tyrosine kinase inhibitor, genistein, delayed radiation-induced cell death, while non-recepter tyrosine kinase inhibitor, herbimycin A (HMA) enhances radiation-induced apoptosis. In this study, we focused on the modulation of radiation-induced cell death by genistein and performed PCR-select suppression subtractive hybridization (SSH) to understand its molecular mechanism. We identified human thymidine kinase 1 (TK1), which is cell cycle regulatory gene and confirmed expression of TK1 mRNA by Northern blot analysis. Expression ofTK1 mRNA and TK 1 enzymatic activity were parallel in their increase and decrease. TK1 is involved in G1-S phase transition of cell cycle progression. In cell cycle analysis, we showed that radiation induced G2 arrest in K562 cells but it was not able to sustain. However, the addition of genistein to irradiated cells sustained a prolonged G2 arrest up to 120 h. In addition, the expression of cell cycle-related proteins, cyclin A and cyclin B 1, provided the evidences of G I/S progression and G2-arrest, and their relationship with TKI in cells treated with radiation and genistein. These results suggest that the activation of TK1 may be critical to modulate the radiation-induced cell death and cell cycle progression in irradiated K562 cells.     

CELL CYCLE REGULATORS IN THE FLORIDA RED TIDE DINOFLAGELLATE, GYMNODINIUM BREVE

The diel cycle is a key regulator of the cell cycle in many dinoflagellates, and may play a rate limiting role in bloom formation. Diel phasing of the cell cycle in the Florida red tide dinoflagellate, Gymnodinium breve Davis was previously described in our laboratory. In cultures grown on a 16:8 light:dark cycle, S-phase began 6–8 h into the light phase, and mitosis followed 12–14 h later. The dark/light "dawn" transition was found to provide the diel cue that serves to entrain the G. breve cell cycle. However the cell cycle mechanisms and regulators acted upon by this cue are poorly understood in dinoflagellates. The cell cycle regulatory complex, CDK1-cyclinB, is therefore currently being investigated. Cyclin dependent kinase (CDK) was first identified in G. breve using two approaches: (1) identification of a 34 kDa protein immunoreactive to an antibody raised against a conserved amino acid sequence unique to the CDK protein family (PSTAIR) and (2) inhibition of the cell cycle by olomoucine, a selective CDK inhibitor. Several approaches are currently being employed in order to describe its partner, cyclin B: (1) PCR on genomic DNA with primers deduced from known cyclin box sequences, (2) G. breve expression library screening with an antibody raised against the fission yeast cyclin B (3) western blot analysis on whole protein extracts and cyclin B immunoprecipitated proteins. Current work focuses on the differential expression of the cyclin B homologue in G. breve during its cell cycle and its relation to diel cycle control.

Proteomic analysis of the molecular response of Raji cells to maslinic acid treatment

Maslinic acid, a natural pentacyclic triterpene has been shown to inhibit growth and induce apoptosis in some tumour cell lines. We studied the molecular response of Raji cells towards maslinic acid treatment. A proteomics approach was employed to identify the target proteins. Seventeen differentially expressed proteins including those involved in DNA replication, microtubule filament assembly, nucleo-cytoplasmic trafficking, cell signaling, energy metabolism and cytoskeletal organization were identified by MALDI TOF-TOF MS. The down-regulation of stathmin, Ran GTPase activating protein-1 (RanBP1), and microtubule associated protein RP/EB family member 1 (EB1) were confirmed by Western blotting. The study of the effect of maslinic acid on Raji cell cycle regulation showed that it induced a G1 cell cycle arrest. The differential proteomic changes in maslinic acid-treated Raji cells demonstrated that it also inhibited expression of dUTPase and stathmin which are known to induce early S and G2 cell cycle arrests. The mechanism of maslinic acid-induced cell cycle arrest may be mediated by inhibiting cyclin D1 expression and enhancing the levels of cell cycle-dependent kinase (CDK) inhibitor p21 protein. Maslinic acid suppressed nuclear factor-kappa B (NF-κB) activity which is known to stimulate expression of anti-apoptotic and cell cycle regulatory gene products. These results suggest that maslinic acid affects multiple signaling molecules and inhibits fundamental pathways regulating cell growth and survival in Raji cells.
