沉默EVL表达抑制肝癌细胞SMMC-7721的增殖和迁移能力

Effect of suppression of TGF-beta1 expression on cell-cycle and gene expression of beta-1,4-galactosyltransferase 1 in human hepatocarcinoma cells

beta-1,4-galactosyltransferase 1 (beta1,4-GT 1) is localized both in the Golgi complex where it catalyzes the transfer of galactose from UDP-galactose to terminal N-acetylglucosamine forming Galbeta1 --> 4GlcNAc structure, and on the cell surface where it serves as an adhesion molecule. It has previously been reported that the expression of beta1,4-GT 1 was cell-cycle-specific, regulated by cell growth. Transforming growth factor-beta1 (TGF-beta1) could regulate cell G1/S phase transition and modulate cell growth in many types of cells. In this study, we introduced the antisense-TGF-beta1 into SMMC-7721 cell, a human hepatocarcinoma cell line, for blocking its intrinsic TGF-beta1 expression, and changing its cell-cycle, and then analyzed the gene expression of beta1,4-GT 1 together with the beta1,4-GT activity. The result showed that the antisense-TGF-beta1 transfected SMMC-7721 cells (AST/7721) were growth enhanced, with more cells in S phase and less cells in G2/M phase compared with the mock transfected cells (pcDNA3/7721). At the same time, it was found that the gene expression of beta1,4-GT 1 in AST/7721 was decreased to one fifth that of pcDNA3/7721, and the cell surface beta1,4-GT activity was reduced to one fifth of the control, while the total activity of beta1,4-GT was decreased to one half that of the control. The results indicate that suppression of TGF-beta1 expression resulted in change of cell-cycle together with the decreased gene expression of beta1,4-GT 1 and beta1,4-GT activity in human hepatocarcinoma cells.     

HMBA诱导人肝癌SMMC-7721细胞分化的观察

本文研究HMBA对人肝癌SMMC-7721细胞的诱导分化作用.细胞生长曲线测定和细胞分裂指数观察显示HMBA可明显抑制细胞增殖,细胞生长抑制率达64.14%,分裂指数抑制率为53.88%.光镜和透射电镜观察可见HMBA能诱导人肝癌SMMG-7721细胞形态和超微结构发生恢复性改变.生化检测或免疫细胞化学方法观察显示,HM-BA处理后细胞γ.谷氨酸转肽酶(γ-GT)活性和甲胎蛋白(AFP)、增殖细胞核抗原(PCNA)表达均降低,而酪氨酸.酮戊二酸转氨酶(TAT)活性增强.流式细胞仪分析表明HMBA引起细胞发生G0/G1期阻滞.以上结果表明HMBA能有效抑制人肝癌细胞恶性增殖活性,逆转肝癌细胞恶性形态与超微结构特征,改变肝癌细胞相关酶活性和抗原表达,引发G0/G1期阻滞,从而对肝癌细胞具有明显的诱导分化作用.     

HMBA诱导人肝癌SMMC—7721细胞分化的观察

In this paper, the effects of HMBA on the differentiation of human hepatocarcinoma cell line SMMC-7721 were investigated. After treated with 5 mmol/L HMBA, the proliferation of SMMC-7721 cells was inhibited remarkably, the cell growth inhibitory rate amounted to 64.14%, the cell mitotic index was declined by 53.88%. Light microscopy and transmission electron microscopy showed that the morphology and ultrastructure of the cells treated with HMBA undergone restorational alteration. Cytochemistry and immunocytochemistry assay revealed that the activities of gamma-GT declined and the levels of AFP and PCNA downregulated while the activity of TAT increased significantly after HMBA treatment. In the meantime, flow cytometry analysis showed that HMBA could arrest the cells in G0/G1 phase. The results showed that HMBA could effectively inhibit the proliferation, reverse the malignant morphology and ultrastructure, alter the levels of enzymes and antigens, arrest the cells in G0/G1, and induce the differentiation of human hepatocarcinoma SMMC-7721 cells in vitro.     

Downregulation of NIN/RPN12 binding protein inhibit the growth of human hepatocellular carcinoma cells

The ribosome assembly factor NIN/RPN12 binding protein (Nob1) has been suggested to be essential for processing of the 20S pre-rRNA to the mature 18S rRNA, and is also reported to participate in proteasome biogenesis. However, it is unclear whether Nob1 is involved in tumor cells growth. The aim of this study was to determine whether the suppression of Nob1 by short hairpin RNA (shRNA) inhibits the growth of human hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) cells. Recombinant lentiviral shRNA expression vector carrying Nob1 was constructed and then infected into human HCC cell line SMMC-7721. The growth properties of SMMC-7721/pGCSIL-GFP-shNC and pGCSIL-GFP-shNob1 cells were determined by MTT, BrdU incorporation assay, and flow cytometric analysis. In addition, the colony formation and tumor growth ability in nude mice were detected to define the function of Nob1 in cell transformation and tumorigenesis. Our data showed that the growth and proliferation of SMMC-7721/pGCSIL-GFP-shNob1 cells were significantly reduced compared with the SMMC-7721/pGCSIL-GFP-shNC. In addition, the colony formation was impaired after the suppression of Nob1 in SMMC-7721 cells. And in vivo, the tumor formation ability of the SMMC-7721/pGCSIL-GFP-shNob1 cells was significantly reduced compared with the control cells. Our data support that Nob1 is an important regulator of the tumorigenic properties of human HCC and could be used as a candidate therapeutic target in human HCC.
