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‐p65.2.

Objectives
Stem cell factor (SCF) is considered as a commonly indispensable cytokine for proliferation of haematopoietic stem cells (HSCs), which is used in large dosages during ex vivo culture. The work presented here aimed to reduce the consumption of SCF by sustained release but still support cells proliferation and maintain the multipotency of HSCs.Materials and methods
Stem cell factor was physically encapsulated within a hyaluronic acid/gelatin double network (HGDN) hydrogel to achieve a slow release rate. CD34+ cells were cultured within the SCF‐loaded HGDN hydrogel for 14 days. The cell number, phenotype and functional capacity were investigated after culture.Results
The HGDN hydrogels had desirable properties and encapsulated SCF kept being released for more than 6 days. SCF remained the native bioactivity, and the proliferation of HSCs within the SCF‐loaded HGDN hydrogel was not affected, although the consumption of SCF was only a quarter in comparison with the conventional culture. Moreover, CD34+ cells harvested from the SCF‐loaded HGDN hydrogels generated more multipotent colony‐forming units (CFU‐GEMM).Conclusion
The data suggested that the SCF‐loaded HGDN hydrogel could support ex vivo culture of HSCs, thus providing a cost‐effective culture protocol for HSCs.3.

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.6.

Objectives
Furocoumarins (psoralens and angelicins) have been already used under ultraviolet A light (UVA) for the treatment of skin diseases and cutaneous T‐cell lymphoma. Besides their high anti‐proliferative activity, some severe long‐term side effects have been observed, for example genotoxicity and mutagenicity, likely strictly related to the formation of crosslinks. It has been demonstrated that blue light (BL) activation of 8‐methoxypsoralen, an FDA‐approved drug, leads to less mutagenic monoadducts in the DNA. So far, in this work the less toxic and more penetrating BL is proposed to activate 4,6,4′‐trimethylangelicin (TMA), an already known UVA photoactivatable compound.Materials and methods
Photocleavage, crosslink formation and oxidative damage were detected in pBR322 plasmid DNA treated with 300.0 μmol/L TMA activated with various exposures of BL. Anti‐proliferative activity, reactive oxygen species (ROS) formation and activation status of some signalling pathways involved in cell growth and apoptosis were verified on DU145 cells treated with 5.0 μmol/L TMA plus 2.0 J/cm2 of BL.Results
Under BL‐TMA, no mutagenic crosslinks, no photocleavage and neither photooxidative lesions were detected on isolated plasmid DNA. TMA showed high anti‐proliferative activity on DU145 cells through induction of apoptosis. Besides ROS generation, the proapoptotic effect seemed to be related to activation of p38 and inhibition of p44/42 phosphorylation. Interestingly, the decrease in nuclear β‐catenin was coupled with a significant dropping of CD44‐positive cells.Conclusion
Overall, our results indicate that TMA can be activated by BL and may be considered for targeted phototherapy of prostate cancer lesions.7.

Recent lines of evidence have indicated that miR‐34c can play important roles in regulation of the cell cycle, cell senescence and apoptosis of mouse and human tumour cells, spermatogenesis, and male germ‐cell apoptosis. However, there is little information on the effects of miR‐34c on proliferation and apoptosis of livestock male germ cells. The dairy goat is a convenient domestic species for biological investigation and application. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of miR‐34c on apoptosis and proliferation of dairy goat male germline stem cells (mGSCs), as well as to determine the relationship between p53 and miR‐34c in this species.Materials and methods
Morphological observation, miRNA in situ hybridisation (ISH), bromodeoxyuridine staining, flow cytometry, quantitative‐RT‐PCR (Q‐RT‐PCR) and western blotting were utilized to ascertain apoptosis and proliferation of mGSCs, through transfection of miR‐34c mimics (miR‐34c), miR‐34c inhibitor (anti‐miR‐34c), miR‐34c mimics and inhibitors co‐transfected (mixture) compared to control groups.Results
Results manifested that miR‐34c over‐expression promoted mGSCs apoptosis and suppressed their proliferation. Simultaneously, a variety of apoptosis‐related gene expression was increased while some proliferation‐related genes were downregulated. Accordingly, miR‐34c promoted apoptosis in mGSCs and reduced their proliferation; moreover, expression of miR‐34c was p53‐dependent.Conclusions
This study is the first to provide a model for study of miRNAs and mechanisms of proliferation and apoptosis in male dairy goat germ cells.8.

Objectives
Cytotoxic chemotherapy is an effective and traditional treatment of ovarian cancer. However, chemotherapy‐induced apoptosis may also trigger and ultimately accelerate the repopulation of the small number of adjacent surviving cells. This study mainly focused on the tumour cell repopulation caused by chemotherapy in ovarian cancer and the adjunctive/synergistic effect of Berberine on the prevention of tumour repopulation.Materials and methods
The transwell system was used to mimic the co‐culture of surviving ovarian cancer cells in the microenvironment of cytotoxic chemotherapy‐treated dying cells. Tumour cell proliferation was observed by crystal violet staining. AA and PGE2 levels were measured by ELISA, and changes of protein expression were analysed by Western blot.Results
Chemotherapy drug VP16 treatment triggered AA pathway, leading to the elevated PGE2 level, and ultimately enhanced the repopulation of ovarian cancer cells. Berberine can block the caspase 3‐iPLA2‐AA‐COX‐2‐PGE2 pathway by inhibiting the expression of iPLA2 and COX‐2. Berberine can also reverse the increased phosphorylation of FAK caused by abnormal PGE2 level and thus reverse the repopulation of ovarian cancer cells after VP16 treatment.Conclusions
Our observation suggested that Berberine could inhibit the chemotherapy‐induced repopulation of ovarian cancer cells by suppressing the AA pathway and phosphorylation of FAK. And these findings implicated a novel combined use of Berberine and chemotherapeutics, which might prevent ovarian cancer recurrence by abrogating early tumour repopulation.9.

Objectives
The aim of this study was to understand the effect of substrate stiffness (a mechanical factor of the extracellular matrix) on periodontal ligament stem cells (PDLSCs) and its underlying mechanism.Materials and methods
Elastic substrates were fabricated by mixing 2 components, a base and curing agent in proportions of 10:1, 20:1, 30:1 or 40:1. PDLSC morphology was observed using scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Cell proliferation and differentiation were assessed after PDLSCs was cultured on various elastic substrates. Data were analysed using one‐way ANOVA.Results
SEM revealed variations in the morphology of PDLSCs cultured on elastic substrates. PDLSC proliferation increased with substrate stiffness (P < .05). Osteogenic differentiation of PDLSCs was higher on stiff substrates. Notch pathway markers were up‐regulated in PDLSCs cultured on stiff substrates.Conclusions
Results suggested that the osteogenic differentiation of PDLSCs might be promoted by culturing them in a stiffness‐dependent manner, which regulates the Notch pathway. This might provide a new method of enhancing osteogenesis in PDLSCs.10.

Previously, we found that long intergenic non‐coding RNA‐p21 (lincRNA‐p21) inhibited the development of human prostate cancer. However, the underlying molecular mechanisms are poorly understood. Here, we attempted to investigate the downstream targets of lincRNA‐p21 in prostate cancer.Materials and methods
Expression of lincRNA‐p21 and PKM2 was determined by qRT‐PCR and Western blot. Lentivirus expressing shPKM2 or shCtrl was used to explore the role of PKM2 on the enhanced cell proliferation and glycolysis of lincRNA‐p21‐silenced prostate cancer cells. A xenograft mouse model was performed to investigate the effect of PKM2 suppression, glycolytic or mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) inhibitor on the tumorigenic capacity of lincRNA‐p21‐silenced prostate cancer cells.Results
We revealed that lincRNA‐p21 silencing in DU145 and LNCaP cells induced up‐regulation of PKM2 and activation of glycolysis, which could be reversed by PKM2 knockdown or rapamycin treatment. We also found that the proliferation and tumorigenesis of lincRNA‐p21‐silenced prostate cancer cells were significantly inhibited after knocking down PKM2. 3‐bromopyruvate (3‐Brpa) or rapamycin treatment largely decreased the tumour burden. Importantly, PKM2 expression was inversely correlated with the lincRNA‐p21 level and the survival of prostate cancer patients.Conclusions
We demonstrated that lincRNA‐p21 blunted the prostate cancer cell proliferation and tumorigenic capacity through down‐regulation of PKM2. Therefore, targeting PKM2 or glycolysis might be a therapeutic strategy in prostate cancer patients with lowly expressed lincRNA‐p21.11.

Our interest continues in discovering phytocomplexes from medicinal plants with phototoxic activity against human melanoma cells; thus the aim of the present study was to assess antioxidant, anti‐inflammatory and phototoxic activity of Hypericum perforatum L. subsp. perforatum, and relate these properties to the plant's chemical composition.Materials and methods
Components of H. perforatum subsp. perforatum were extracted by hydroalcoholic solution and chemical profiles of preparations (HyTE‐3) performed by HPTLC. Linoleic acid peroxidation and DPPH tests were used to assess antioxidant activity, while MTT assay allowed evaluation of anti‐proliferative activity with respect to A375 human melanoma cells after irradiation with UVA dose, 1.8 J/cm2. Inhibition of nitric oxide production of macrophages was also investigated.Results
HyTE‐3 indicated better antioxidant activity with β‐carotene bleaching test in comparison to DPPH assay (IC50 = 0.89 μg/ml); significant phototoxicity in A375 cells at 78 μg/ml concentration resulted in cell destruction of 50%. HyTE‐3 caused significant dose‐related inhibition of nitric oxide production in murine monocytic macrophage cell line RAW 264.7 with IC50 value of 342 μg/ml.Conclusions
The H. perforatum subsp. perforatum‐derived product was able to suppress proliferation of human malignant melanoma A375 cells; extract together with UVA irradiation enhanced phototoxicity. This biological activity of antioxidant effects was combined with inhibition of nitric oxide production.12.

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.13.

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.14.

Objectives
FBXW7 acts as a tumour suppressor by targeting at various oncoproteins for ubiquitin‐mediated degradation. However, the clinical significance and the involving regulatory mechanisms of FBXW7 manipulation of NSCLC regeneration and therapy response are not clear.Materials and Methods
Immunohistochemical staining and qRT‐PCR were applied to detect FBXW7 and Snai1 expression in 100 samples of NSCLC and matched tumour‐adjacent tissues. FBXW7 manipulation of cancer biological functions were studied by using MTT assay, immunoblotting, flow cytometry, transwells, wound healing assay, and sphere‐formation assays. Immunofluorescence and co‐immunoprecipitation were used to analyse the possible interaction between Snai1 and FBXW7.Results
We detected the decreased FBXW7 expression in majority of the NSCLC tissues, and lower FBXW7 level was correlated with advanced TNM stage. Furthermore, those patients with decreased FBXW7 expression tend to have both poorer 5‐year survival outcomes, and shorter disease‐free survival, comparing to those with higher FBXW7 levels. Functionally, we found that FBXW7 enforcement suppressed NSCLC progression by inducing cell growth arrest, increasing chemo‐sensitivity and inhibiting Epithelial‐mesenchymal Transition (EMT) progress. Results further showed that FBXW7 could interact with Snai1 directly to degrade its expression through ubiquitylating alternation in NSCLC, which could be partially abrogated by restoring Snai1 expression.Conclusions
FBXW7 conduction of tumour suppression was partly through degrading Snai1 directly for ubiquitylating regulation in NSCLC15.

Coroglaucigenin (CGN), a natural product isolated from Calotropis gigantean by our research group, has been identified as a potential anti‐cancer agent. However, the molecular mechanisms involved remain poorly understood.Materials and methods
Cell viability and cell proliferation were detected by MTT and BrdU assays. Flow cytometry, SA‐β‐gal assay, western blotting and immunofluorescence were performed to determine CGN‐induced apoptosis, senescence and autophagy. Western blotting, siRNA transfection and coimmunoprecipitation were carried out to investigate the mechanisms of CGN‐induced senescence and autophagy. The anti‐tumour activities of combination therapy with CGN and chloroquine were observed in mice tumour models.Results
We demonstrated that CGN inhibits the proliferation of colorectal cancer cells both in vitro and in vivo. We showed that the inhibition of cell proliferation by CGN is independent of apoptosis, but is associated with cell‐cycle arrest and senescence in colorectal cancer cells. Notably, CGN induces protective autophagy that attenuates CGN‐mediated cell proliferation. Functional studies revealed that CGN disrupts the association of Hsp90 with both CDK4 and Akt, leading to CDK4 degradation and Akt dephosphorylation, eventually resulting in senescence and autophagy, respectively. Combination therapy with CGN and chloroquine resulted in enhanced anti‐tumour effects in vivo.Conclusions
Our results demonstrate that CGN induces senescence and autophagy in colorectal cancer cells and indicate that combining it with an autophagy inhibitor may be a novel strategy suitable for CGN‐mediated anti‐cancer therapy.16.

Restorative properties of medicinal plants such as Genista sessilifolia DC. have often been suggested to occur, in epidemiological studies. However, full characterization of effective principles responsible for this action has never previously been performed. Here, we have characterized G. sessilifolia's anti‐cancer effects and identified the chemical components involved in this anti‐tumour action.Materials and methods
Cell cycle, apoptosis, necrosis, differentiation analyses, high‐performance liquid chromatography, western blotting, RNA extraction, real‐time PCR and primers have all been observed/used in the study.Results
We report that G. sessilifolia methanol extract has anti‐cancer activity on solid and haematological cancer cells. G. sessilifolia extract's anti‐proliferative action is closely bound to induction of apoptosis, whereas differentiation is only weakly modulated. Analysis of G. sessilifolia extract, by high‐performance liquid chromatography, identifies fraction 18–22 as the pertinent component for induction of apoptosis, whereas fractions 11–13 and 27–30 both seem to contribute to differentiation. G. sessilifolia extract induces apoptosis mediated by caspase activation and p21, Rb, p53, Bcl2‐associated agonist of cell death (BAD), tumour necrosis factor receptor super‐family, member 10 (TRAIL) overexpression and death receptor 5 (DR5). Accordingly, fraction 18–22 inducing apoptosis was able to induce TRAIL.Conclusions
Our results indicate that G. sessilifolia extract and its fraction 18–22 containing genistin and isoprunetin, were able to induce anti‐cancer effects supporting the hypothesis of a pro‐apoptotic intrinsic content of this natural medicinal plant.17.

SNRPA is a protein component of U1 small nuclear ribonucleoprotein (U1 snRNP) complex, which takes part in the splicing of pre‐mRNAs. Its expression and function in tumour remain unknown. Herein, we elucidated the functional contribution of SNRPA to the progression of gastric cancer (GC).Materials and methods
SNRPA expression was investigated in a GC tissue microarray by immunohistochemical staining. Cell proliferation was evaluated by CCK‐8, colony formation and EdU incorporation assays. A mouse xenograft model was used to detect the tumourigenicity. Gene expression profiling was performed and then the potential target genes were verified by quantitative real‐time PCR and western blot analyses. The functional relevance between SNRPA and its target gene was examined by cell growth assays.Results
SNRPA expression was higher in tumour tissues than in matched normal gastric mucosa tissues, and it was positively correlated with the tumour size and progression. High SNRPA expression indicated poor prognosis of GC patients. Silencing SNRPA in GC cells markedly inhibited cell proliferation in vitro and tumour growth in a xenograft model, while overexpressing SNRPA exhibited opposite results. Moreover, we identified NGF (Nerve growth factor) as a downstream effector of SNRPA and further proved that NGF was crucial for SNRPA‐mediated GC cell growth.Conclusions
These findings suggested that SNRPA may contribute to GC progression via NGF and could be a prognostic biomarker for GC.18.

Triple negative breast cancer (TNBC) is a complex and intrinsically aggressive tumour with poor prognosis, and the discovery of targeted small‐molecule drugs for TNBC treatment still remains in its infancy. In this study, we aimed to discover a small‐molecule agent for TNBC treatment and illuminate its potential mechanisms.Materials and methods
Cell viability was detected by using methylthiazoltetrazolium (MTT) assay. Electron microscopy, GFP‐LC3 transfection, monodansylcadaverine staining and apoptosis assay were performed to determine Fluoxetine‐induced autophagy and apoptosis. Western blotting and siRNA transfection were carried out to investigate the mechanisms of Fluoxetine‐induced autophagy. iTRAQ‐based proteomics analysis was used to explore the underlying mechanisms.Results
We have demonstrated that Fluoxetine had remarkable anti‐proliferative activities and induced autophagic cell death in MDA‐MB‐231 and MDA‐MB‐436 cells. The mechanism for Fluoxetine‐induced autophagic cell death was associated with inhibition of eEF2K and activation of AMPK‐mTOR‐ULK complex axis. Further iTRAQ‐based proteomics and network analyses revealed that Fluoxetine‐induced mechanism was involved in BIRC6, BNIP1, SNAP29 and Bif‐1.Conclusions
These results demonstrate that Fluoxetine induces apoptosis and autophagic cell death in TNBC, which will hold a promise for the future TNBC therapy.19.

Objectives
The purpose of this study was to explore the effectiveness of concurrent GRP78 overexpression combined with Cripto on hMSC proliferation and migration both in vitro and in vivo. Specifically, we explored whether the treatment enhances effectiveness of hMSC transplantation in ischaemic tissue.Materials and methods
Human MSCs obtained from human adipose tissue were cultured in α‐minimum essential medium (Hyclone, Logan, UT, USA) supplemented with 10% (v/v) foetal bovine serum (Hyclone), 100 U mL?1 penicillin and 100 μg mL?1 streptomycin. Murine hindlimb ischaemic model was generated with 8‐week‐old male nude BALB/c mice (Biogenomics, Seoul, Korea) maintained under a 12‐h light/dark cycle following the established protocol with minor modification. Cellular injection was performed no later than 3 hour after surgery. Lipofectamine transfection, single‐cell cultivation assay, transwell assay, scratch wound‐healing migration assay, immunohistochemistry and western blotting assays were performed.Results
Overexpression of GRP78 along with Cripto enhanced hMSC proliferation, migration and invasion. It increased interaction of surface GRP78 receptor with Cripto via JAK2/STAT3 pathway. We confirmed our proposed mechanism by showing that treatment with GRP78 antibody blocks the enhancement in vitro. In vivo, we observed that Cripto induced by the hypoxic environment in hindlimb ischaemic model interacts with the overexpressed GRP78 and increases hMSC proliferation, migration and invasion potentials as well as angiogenesis around transplanted ischaemic site via cytokine secretions.Conclusions
These results demonstrate supporting evidences that GRP78‐Cripto combination technique offers novel strategy to enhance MSC proliferation, migration and invasion potentials as well as angiogenesis around ischaemic site, ultimately facilitating MSC‐based transplantation therapy in ischaemic conditions.20.
