端粒是线性染色体末端的DNA-蛋白质结构,可保护染色体末端免于降解和融合。由于大多数体细胞中存在末端复制问题和端粒酶缺乏的固有限制性,端粒DNA随着细胞每次分裂而缩短。短端粒或功能失调的端粒可诱导持续的DNA损伤反应,从而触发细胞复制性衰老。端粒长度主要通过端粒酶和端粒替代延长途经2种端粒机制维持。此外,端粒DNA还会被转录,生成含有端粒重复序列的RNA(telomeric repeat-containing RNA,TERRA),积极参与端粒维持和染色体末端保护。端粒长度是一种复杂的遗传特征,受遗传、疾病和环境因素的影响。流行病学数据显示,端粒长度与衰老、癌症、端粒生物学疾病及多种衰老相关疾病之间存在不同程度的关联。随着端粒长度检测方法的不断发展,血细胞端粒长度作为人类衰老生物标志物和衰老相关疾病的危险因素得到了广泛研究,具有作为生物标志物的潜力。 相似文献

端粒位于染色体末端,由短的串联重复DNA片段及其结合蛋白组成。端粒在维持基因组稳定性及染色体结构完整性方面发挥着重要作用。端粒DNA由富含G/C的序列构成,包括双链区及G含量高的3'悬垂单链区(G-overhang,G-tail)。端粒DNA能够形成G四联体(G-quadruplex)和T环(T-loop)等高级结构。许多与DNA损伤修复相关的蛋白质参与端粒DNA的复制与端粒结构的维持,并相对于基因组的其他区域,端粒的DNA复制较为特别,从广义上讲,端粒DNA的复制可以包括双链复制(telomere replication),端粒酶复制延伸(telomerase extension)和C链补齐(C-rich fill-in)。端粒双链复制引起的端粒长度缩短是导致人体细胞衰老的重要原因,而端粒酶复制延伸及C链补齐是干细胞及肿瘤细胞维持其端粒长度及持续分裂能力的主要途径。端粒复制及其结构功能研究是生物医学领域的一个重要热点,阐释端粒复制的机理将为疾病预防及治疗等提供新的思路。 相似文献

Telomere shortening has been suggested to be a genetic predictor for various cancers. However, evidences about this point with respect to esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) in Han Chinese populations remain limited. Our previous study demonstrated that p53 Arg72Pro polymorphism was associated with the risk of human papillomavirus (HPV)-related ESCC. Telomeres and p53 play important roles in maintaining genomic stability and regulating the cell cycle. HPV impacts both telomere length stabilization and p53 degradation. Given the roles of the three factors, we evaluated leukocyte telomere length, p53 variants and HPV-16 serology to examine the potential associations between them and ESCC risk in a case–control study with 308 patients and 309 cancer-free controls matched by age and sex. Compared with long telomere length, short telomere length was significantly associated with an increased risk of ESCC (adjusted OR 2.01; 95% CI 1.41–2.80). Moreover, this association was enhanced when combined with HPV-16 seropositivity and p53 Arg/Arg or Arg/Pro genotypes. Notably, individuals with short telomere length, Arg/Pro or Arg/Arg genotypes and HPV-16 seropositivity had a 12.08-fold (95% CI 5.49–26.56) increased risk of ESCC compared to those with none of the three investigated risk factors. Taken together, these results indicate that short telomere length in peripheral blood leukocytes is a biomarker for ESCC risk, and has statistically additive effects with p53 variants and HPV seropositivity with regard to the risk of ESCC in a Han Chinese population. 相似文献

摘要 目的:研究CHRNA5亚基突变对尼古丁受体功能的影响。方法:通过RT-PCR克隆CHRNA5基因片段,并通过重叠延伸PCR方法对CHRNA5亚基基因定点突变,从而构建CHRNA5突变型及野生型表达载体,然后转染至HEK293T细胞中,检测其基因表达。并将其分别与CHRNA3和CHRNB4共转至HEK293T细胞中,检测三质粒共转后的基因表达;通过采用尼古丁持续灌流细胞10 min,然后检测细胞内钙离子内流峰值的变化情况,接下来检测突变对转染后细胞活力的影响。结果:构建的CHRNA5表达载体在转染HEK293T细胞48 h后,能够检测到绿色荧光蛋白的表达,这证明重组载体已成功转染进HEK293T细胞;通过RT-PCR检测出转染细胞CHRNA5 mRNA表达,这证明CHRNA5突变型和野生型均在HEK293T细胞中成功进行了表达。通过尼古丁灌流细胞实验显示突变组和野生型组F340/F380峰值变化均值分别为0.865±0.048和0.447±0.127,突变体组峰值显著高于野生型组(P<0.05)。细胞活力检测实验发现0.01 mM和0.1 mM尼古丁刺激下突变组的细胞活力峰值分别为139%和137%,显著高于野生组的124%和126%,有显著差异(P<0.05)。结论:本研究成功构建了CHRNA5突变及野生型真核表达载体,发现CHRNA5的突变会导致其受体功能性改变,并影响细胞活力。 相似文献

Deoxyelephantopin (ESD), a naturally occurring sesquiterpene lactone present in the Chinese medicinal herb, Elephantopus scaber L. exerted anticancer effects on various cultured cancer cells. However, the cellular mechanisms by which it controls the development of the cancer cells are unavailable, particularly the human nasopharyngeal cancer CNE cells. In this study, we found that ESD inhibited the CNE cell proliferation. Cell cycle arrest in S and G2/M phases was also found. Western blotting analysis showed that modulation of cell cycle regulatory proteins was responsible for the ESD-induced cell cycle arrest. Besides, ESD also triggered apoptosis in CNE cells. Dysfunction in mitochondria was found to be associated with the ESD-induced apoptosis as evidenced by the loss of mitochondrial membrane potential (ΔΨm), the translocation of cytochrome c, and the regulation of Bcl-2 family proteins. Despite the Western blotting analysis showed that both intrinsic and extrinsic apoptotic pathways (cleavage of caspases-3, -7, -8, -9, and -10) were triggered in the ESD-induced apoptosis, additional analysis also showed that the induction of apoptosis could be achieved by the caspase-independent manner. Besides, Akt, ERK and JNK pathways were found to involve in ESD-induced cell death. Overall, our findings provided the first evidence that ESD induced cell cycle arrest, and apoptosis in CNE cells. ESD could be a potential chemotherapeutic agent in the treatment of nasopharyngeal cancer (NPC). 相似文献

Using quantitative fluorescence in situ hybridization (Q-FISH), the average telomere length of hepatoma cells was assessed by the average telomeric signal intensity of cancer cells relative to that of stromal cells. We demonstrated first the applicability of Q-FISH for tissue sections by comparing Q-FISH and Southern blotting results. Tumors less than 50mm in diameter and with a relative telomeric intensity of less than 0.6 were categorized as group A and the remainder as group B. In group A, the telomere length correlated negatively with tumor size, whereas in group B there was no correlation. Compared with the group A tumors, the group B tumors were of significantly more advanced stage, showed higher telomerase and proliferative activities, and exhibited less differentiated histology. Therefore, we considered that a lack of correlation between telomere length and tumor size, namely, size-independence of telomere length, is associated with unfavorable clinicopathological features of hepatocellular carcinomas. 相似文献

Telomeres, the nucleoprotein complexes at the ends of eukaryotic chromosomes, are maintained at a species-specific equilibrium length. Arabidopsis thaliana is a self-fertilizing plant and different geographical isolates or ecotypes show differing telomere-lengths. We have exploited this telomere-length polymorphism between Arabidopsis ecotypes to investigate the genetic regulation of telomere length by analysing telomere lengths in 16 different inter-ecotype crosses between plants with differing telomere sizes. With two exceptions, the inter-ecotype hybrid plants present a new telomere-length set point, intermediate between that of the two parents. A regulation mechanism thus shortens the longer and lengthens the shorter telomeres. 相似文献

Nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) occurs frequently in southern China. The circadian rhythm of DNA synthesis of a poorly differentiated NPC human cell line (CNE2) was investigated as an experimental prerequisite for designing chrono-chemotherapy schedules for patients with this disease. Twenty-two nude mice with BALB/c background were synchronized alternatively in 12 h of light and 12 h of darkness (LD12:12) for at least 3 wk prior to the transplantation of a CNE2 tumor fragment into each flank (area of ~2×2 mm2). Ten days later, a tumor sample (area of ~5 mm2) was obtained at 3, 9, 15, and 21 h after light onset (HALO) alternatively from different sites in each mouse. Single-cell suspensions were prepared and stained with propidium iodide. Cellular DNA content was measured with flow cytometry. Data were analyzed by ANOVA and cosinor methods. The average proportion of tumor cells in G1, S or G2-M phase varied according to circadian time with statistical significance. The maximum occurred at 9 HALO for G1, 2 HALO for S and 21 HALO for G2-M phase cells. The approximate average distribution patterns of G1 and G2-M phases of cosine curve was 24 h. This was not the case for S-phase cells, which displayed a bimodal temporal pattern. Inter-individual variability in peak time was large, possibly due to relatively sparse sampling time. Nevertheless, no more than 6% of the time series displayed a maximum at 3 HALO for G1, 21 HALO for S and 15 HALO for G2-M. The cell cycle distribution of this human NPC cell line displayed circadian regulation following implantation into nude mice. The mechanisms involved in this rhythm and its relevance to the chrono-chemotherapy of patients deserve further investigation. 相似文献

端粒是染色体末端的特殊结构,对染色体具有保护作用,并且和衰老及很多疾病相关。长链非编码RNA是长度大于200bp且一般不具有编码功能的RNA。TERRA(telomeric repeat-containing RNA)是由端粒重复序列转录的一类长链非编码RNA,研究表明TERRA具有参与调控端粒长度,促进异染色体形成和保护染色体末端等功能,并且TERRA的表达与疾病和衰老相关。由于TERRA对于端粒具有重要作用,因此对于TERRA的研究已经成为端粒相关研究中的热点。目前对于TERRA的转录调控及生物学功能已有较为深入的了解。现对TERRA的生物学特性,功能和与疾病及衰老的关系进行综述,以期为TERRA后续的研究如作为疾病治疗靶点,延缓衰老等提供参考。 相似文献
