Cell proliferation and migration are crucial in many physiological processes including development, cancer, tissue repair, and wound healing. Cell migration is regulated by several signaling molecules. Identification of genes related to cell migration is required to understand molecular mechanism of non-healing chronic wounds which is a major concern in clinics. In the current study, the role of cytoglobin (CYGB) gene in f?broblast cell migration and proliferation was described. L929 mouse fibroblast cells were transduced with lentiviral particles for CYGB and GFP, and analyzed for cell proliferation and migration ability. Fibroblast cells overexpressing CYGB displayed decreased cell proliferation, colony formation capacity, and cell migration. Phosphorylation levels of mTOR and two downstream effectors S6 and 4E-BP1 which take part in PI3K/AKT/mTOR signaling declined in CYGB-overexpressing cells. Microarray analysis indicated that CYGB overexpression leads to downregulation of cell proliferation, migration, and tumor growth associated genes in L929 cell line. This study demonstrated the role of CYGB in fibroblast cell motility and proliferation. CYGB could be a promising candidate for further studies as a potential target for diseases related to cell migration such as cancer and chronic wound treatment. 相似文献

Oxymatrine (OMT), one of the main active components of extracts from the dry roots of Sophora flavescens, has been reported to possess many pharmacological properties including cancer-preventive and anti-cancer effects. The aim of the present study is to explore the efficiency of combination therapy with OMT and oxaliplatin (OXA) and identify the in vitro and in vivo cytotoxicity on colon cancer lines (HT29 and SW480) and mice model. Cells were treated with OMT and/or OXA and subjected to cell viability, colony formation, apoptosis, cell cycle, western blotting, xenograft tumorigenicity assay and immunohistochemistry. The results demonstrated that OMT and OXA inhibited the proliferation of colon cancer cells, and combination therapy of OMT and OXA resulted in a combination index?<?1, indicating a synergistic effect. Co-treatment with OMT and OXA caused G0/G1 phase arrest by upregulating P21, P27 and downregulating cyclin D, and induced apoptosis through decreasing the expression of p-PI3K, p-AKT, p-mTOR, p-p70S6K. In addition, pretreatment with a specific PI3K/AKT activator (IGF-1) significantly neutralized the pro-apoptotic activity of OXA?+?OMT, demonstrating the important role of PI3K/AKT in this process. Moreover, in nude mice model, co-treatment displayed more efficient inhibition of tumor weight and volume on SW480 xenograft mouse model than single-agent treatment with OXA or OMT. Immunohistochemistry analysis suggests the combinations greatly suppressed tumor proliferation, which consistent with our in vitro results. In conclusion, our findings highlight that the combination therapy with OMT and OXA exerted synergistic antitumor effects in colon cancer cells through PI3K/AKT/mTOR pathway and combination treatment with OMT and OXA would be a promising therapeutic strategy for colon carcinoma treatment. 相似文献

Angiogenin (ANG), a member of RNase A superfamily, is the only angiogenic factor that possesses ribonucleolytic activity. Recent studies showed that the expression of ANG was elevated in various types of cancers. Accumulating evidence indicates that ANG plays an essential role in cancer progression by stimulating both cancer cell proliferation and tumor angiogenesis. Human ribonuclease inhibitor (RI), a cytoplasmic protein, is constructed almost entirely of leucine rich repeats (LRRs), which are present in a large family of proteins that are distinguished by their display of vast surface areas to foster protein–protein interactions. RI might be involved in unknown biological effects except inhibiting RNase A activity. The experiment demonstrated that RI also could suppress activity of angiogenin (ANG) through closely combining with it in vitro. PI3K/AKT/mTOR signaling pathway exerts a key role in cell growth, survival, proliferation, apoptosis and angiogenesis. We recently reported that up-regulating RI inhibited the growth and induced apoptosis of murine melanoma cells through repression of angiogenin and PI3K/AKT signaling pathway. However, ANG receptors have not yet been identified to date, its related signal transduction pathways are not fully clear and underlying interacting mechanisms between RI and ANG remain largely unknown. Therefore, we hypothesize that RI might combine with intracellular ANG to block its nuclear translocation and regulate PI3K/AKT/mTOR signaling pathway to inhibit biological functions of ANG. Here, we reported for the first time that ANG could interact with RI endogenously and exogenously by using co-immunoprecipitation (Co-IP) and GST pull-down. Furthermore, we observed the colocalization of ANG and RI in cells with immunofluorescence staining under laser confocal microscope. Moreover, through fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET) assay, we further confirmed that these two proteins have a physical interaction in living cells. Subsequently, we demonstrated that up-regulating ANG including ANG His37Ala mutant obviously decreased RI expression and activated phosphorylation of key downstream target molecules of PI3K/AKT/mTOR signaling pathway. Finally, up-regulating ANG led to the promotion of tumor angiogenesis, tumorigenesis and metastasis in vivo. Taken together, our data provided a novel mechanism of ANG in regulating PI3K/AKT/mTOR signaling pathway via RI, which suggested a new therapeutic target for cancer therapy. 相似文献

We investigated the effect of S-phase kinase-associated protein 2 (SKP2) on radiosensitivity of esophageal cancer (EC) cells. Expression of SKP2, PI3K, AKT, Bcl-2 and Bax were assayed in EC. EC cells were transfected with SKP2-siRNA/IGF-1 to detect expression of SKP2, PI3K, AKT, Bcl-2 and Bax. At last, the radiosensitivity of cells in different doses of X (0, 2, 4, 6, 8 Gy) irradiation and cell apoptosis were also detected. EC cells displayed a higher positive expression rate of SKP2, elevated mRNA and protein expression of SKP2, PI3K, AKT, Bcl-2 and Bax, as well as higher extent of PI3K and AKT phosphorylation. SKP2 silencing downregulated mRNA and protein expression of PI3K, AKT and Bcl-2 but increased p27 protein expression, and inhibited the cell survival rate while promoting cell apoptosis. Taken together, silencing SKP2 can inhibit the PI3K/AKT signaling pathway, thereby increasing the radiosensitivity of EC cells. 相似文献

The glucose-regulated endoplasmic reticulum chaperone protein 94 (GRP94) is required for many biological processes, such as secretion of immune factors and mesoderm induction. Here, we demonstrated that GRP94 promotes muscle differentiation in vitro and in vivo. Moreover, GRP94 inhibited the PI3K/AKT/mTOR signaling pathway. Using both in vitro and in vivo approaches, in myoblasts, we found that this inhibition resulted in reduced proliferation and increased differentiation. To further investigate the mechanism of GRP94-induced muscle differentiation, we used co-immunoprecipitation and proximity ligation assays and found that GRP94 interacted with PI3K-interacting protein 1 (Pik3ip1). The latter protein promoted muscle differentiation by inhibiting the PI3K/AKT/mTOR pathway. Furthermore, GRP94 was found to regulate Pik3ip1 expression. Finally, when Pik3ip1 expression was inhibited, GRP94-induced promotion of muscle differentiation was diminished. Taken together, our data demonstrated that GRP94 promoted muscle differentiation, mediated by Pik3ip1-dependent inhibition of the PI3K/AKT/mTOR signaling pathway. 相似文献

BackgroundOsteosarcoma (OS) is the most common malignant bone cancer with more metastasis and increased occurrence in children and teen-agers and being responsible for more number of morbidity and mortality worldwide.ObjectiveThe current exploration was planned study the in vitro anticancer actions of dieckol against human OS MG-63 cells via PI3K/AKT/mTOR signaling inhibition.MethodologyThe cytotoxicity of dieckol was scrutinized by MTT assay. Effects of dieckol on the ROS accumulation, apoptotic cell death, and MMP level in the MG-63 cells were studied by respective fluorescence staining assays. The levels of proliferative, inflammatory, and apoptotic markers in the dieckol treated MG-63 cells were scrutinized by marker specific kits. The expressions of PI3K, AKT, and mTOR was assayed by RT-PCR.ResultsThe MTT assay revealed that the dieckol dose dependently prevented MG-63 cells viability and the IC50 was found at 15 µM. Dieckol treatment effectively reduced the MMP level and improved the ROS generation and apoptosis in MG-63 cells. Dieckol also regulated the proliferative (cyclin D1), inflammatory (COX-2, IL-6, TNF-α, and NF-κB), and apoptotic (caspase-3, Bax, Bcl-2) markers in the MG-63 cells. The PI3K/AKT/mTOR signaling in the MG-63 cells were effectively inhibited by the dieckol treatment.ConclusionIn conclusion, our findings from this study recommends that the dieckol could be a talented anticancer candidate for the OS management in the future. 相似文献

BackgroundSevere acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection-induced inflammatory responses are largely responsible for the death of novel coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) patients. However, the mechanism by which SARS-CoV-2 triggers inflammatory responses remains unclear. Here, we aimed to explore the regulatory role of SARS-CoV-2 spike protein in infected cells and attempted to elucidate the molecular mechanism of SARS-CoV-2-induced inflammation.MethodsSARS-CoV-2 spike pseudovirions (SCV-2-S) were generated using the spike-expressing virus packaging system. Western blot, mCherry-GFP-LC3 labeling, immunofluorescence, and RNA-seq were performed to examine the regulatory mechanism of SCV-2-S in autophagic response. The effects of SCV-2-S on apoptosis were evaluated by terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase dUTP nick end labeling (TUNEL), Western blot, and flow cytometry analysis. Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) was carried out to examine the mechanism of SCV-2-S in inflammatory responses.ResultsAngiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE2)-mediated SCV-2-S infection induced autophagy and apoptosis in human bronchial epithelial and microvascular endothelial cells. Mechanistically, SCV-2-S inhibited the PI3K/AKT/mTOR pathway by upregulating intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS) levels, thus promoting the autophagic response. Ultimately, SCV-2-S-induced autophagy triggered inflammatory responses and apoptosis in infected cells. These findings not only improve our understanding of the mechanism underlying SARS-CoV-2 infection-induced pathogenic inflammation but also have important implications for developing anti-inflammatory therapies, such as ROS and autophagy inhibitors, for COVID-19 patients. 相似文献

The role of epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) tyrosine kinase and its downstream targets in the regulation of the transition from the G0/G1 phase into DNA synthesis in response to ANG II has not been previously investigated in intestinal epithelial IEC-18 cells. ANG II induced a rapid and striking EGFR tyrosine phosphorylation, which was prevented by selective inhibitors of EGFR tyrosine kinase activity (e.g., AG-1478) or by broad-spectrum matrix metalloproteinase (MMP) inhibitor GM-6001. Pretreatment of these cells with either AG-1478 or GM-6001 reduced ANG II-stimulated DNA synthesis by approximately 50%. To elucidate the downstream targets of EGFR, we demonstrated that ANG II stimulated phosphorylation of Akt at Ser473, mTOR at Ser2448, p70S6K1 at Thr389, and S6 ribosomal protein at Ser(235/236). Pretreatment with AG-1478 inhibited Akt, p70S6K1, and S6 ribosomal protein phosphorylation. Inhibition of phosphatidylinositol (PI)3-kinase with LY-294002 or mTOR/p70S6K1 with rapamycin reduced [3H]thymidine incorporation by 50%, i.e., to levels comparable to those achieved by addition of either AG-1478 or GM-6001. Utilizing Akt small-interfering RNA targeted to Akt1 and Akt2, Akt protein knockdown dramatically inhibited p70S6K1 and S6 ribosomal protein phosphorylation. In contrast, AG-1478 or Akt gene silencing exerted no detectable inhibitory effect on ANG II-induced extracellular signal-regulated kinase 1/2 phosphorylation in IEC-18 cells. Taken together, our results demonstrate that EGFR transactivation mediates ANG II-stimulated mitogenesis through the PI3-kinase/Akt/mTOR/p70S6K1 signaling pathway in IEC-18 cells. 相似文献

Background
MYO18B has been identified as a novel tumor suppressor gene in several cancers. However, its specific roles in the progression of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) has not been well defined.Methods
We firstly identified the expression and prognostic values of MYO18B in HCC using TCGA cohort and our clinical data. Then, MYO18B knockdown by RNA inference was implemented to investigate the effects of MYO18B on HCC cells. Quantitative RT-PCR and Western blot were used to determine gene and protein expression levels. CCK-8 and colony formation assays were performed to examine cell proliferation capacity. Wound healing and transwell assays were used to evaluate the migration and invasion of HepG2 cells.Results
MYO18B was overexpressed and correlated with poor prognosis in HCC. MYO18B expression was an independent risk factor for overall survival. Knockdown of MYO18B significantly inhibited the proliferation, migration and invasion of HepG2 cells. Meanwhile, MYO18B knockdown could effectively suppress the phosphorylation of PI3K, AKT, mTOR and P70S6K, suggesting that MYO18B might promote HCC progression by targeting PI3K/AKT/mTOR signaling pathway.Conclusions
MYO18B promoted tumor growth and migration via the activation of PI3K/AKT/mTOR signaling pathway. MYO18B might be a promising target for clinical intervention of HCC.16.

Cytokine induction in response to Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) infection is critical for pathogen control, by (i) mediating innate immune effector functions and (ii) instructing specific adaptive immunity. IL-10 is an important anti-inflammatory cytokine involved in pathogenesis of tuberculosis (TB). Here, we show that TLR3, a sensor of extracellular viral or host RNA with stable stem structures derived from infected or damaged cells, is essential for Mtb-induced IL-10 production. Upon Mycobacterium bovis Bacillus Calmette–Guérin (BCG) infection, TLR3−/− macrophages expressed lower IL-10 but higher IL-12p40 production, accompanied by reduced phosphorylation of AKT at Ser473. BCG-infected TLR3−/− mice exhibited reduced IL-10 but elevated IL-12 expression compared to controls. Moreover, higher numbers of splenic Th1 cells and reduced pulmonary bacterial burden and tissue damage were observed in BCG-infected TLR3−/− mice. Finally, BCG RNA induced IL-10 in macrophages via TLR3-mediated activation of PI3K/AKT. Our findings demonstrate a critical role of TLR3-mediated regulation in the pathogenesis of mycobacterial infection involving mycobacterial RNA, which induces IL-10 through the PI3K/AKT signaling pathway. 相似文献

G0/G1 switch gene 2 (G0S2) is a direct retinoic acid target implicated in cancer biology and therapy based on frequent methylation-mediated silencing in diverse solid tumors. We recently reported that low G0S2 expression in breast cancer, particularly estrogen receptor-positive (ER+) breast cancer, correlates with increased rates of recurrence, indicating that G0S2 plays a role in breast cancer progression. However, the function(s) and mechanism(s) of G0S2 tumor suppression remain unclear. In order to determine potential mechanisms of G0S2 anti-oncogenic activity, we performed genome-wide expression analysis that revealed an enrichment of gene signatures related to PI3K/mTOR pathway activation in G0S2 null cells as compared to G0S2 wild-type cells. G0S2 null cells also exhibited a dramatic decreased sensitivity to PI3K/mTOR pathway inhibitors. Conversely, restoring G0S2 expression in human ER+ breast cancer cells decreased basal mTOR signaling and sensitized the cells to pharmacologic mTOR pathway inhibitors. Notably, we provide evidence here that the increase in recurrence seen with low G0S2 expression is especially prominent in patients who have undergone antiestrogen therapy. Further, ER+ breast cancer cells with restored G0S2 expression had a relative increased sensitivity to tamoxifen. These findings reveal that in breast cancer G0S2 functions as a tumor suppressor in part by repressing PI3K/mTOR activity, and that G0S2 enhances therapeutic responses to PI3K/mTOR inhibitors. Recent studies implicate hyperactivation of PI3K/mTOR signaling as promoting resistance to antiestrogen therapies in ER+ breast cancer. Our data establishes G0S2 as opposing this form of antiestrogen resistance. This promotes further investigation of the role of G0S2 as an antineoplastic breast cancer target and a biomarker for recurrence and therapy response. 相似文献

Hepatocyte growth factor exerts a proliferative effect on oval cells through the PI3K/AKT signaling pathway 总被引:17,自引:0,他引:17

Hepatocyte growth factor (HGF) is a potent mitogen for a variety of cells including hepatocytes. While rat oval cells are supposed to be one of hepatic stem cells, biological effects of HGF on oval cells and their relevant signal transduction pathways remain to be determined. We sought to investigate them on OC/CDE22 rat oval cells, which are established from the liver of rats fed a choline-deficient/DL-ethionine-supplemented diet. The oval cells were cultured on fibronectin-coated dishes and stimulated with recombinant HGF, transforming growth factor-alpha (TGF-alpha), and thrombopoietin (TPO) under the serum-free medium condition. HGF treatment enhanced [3H]thymidine incorporation into oval cells in a dose-dependent manner. On the contrary, treatment with TGF-alpha or TPO had no significant effects on [3H]thymidine incorporation into the oval cells. c-Met protein was phosphorylated at the tyrosine residues after the HGF treatment. AKT, extracellular signal-regulated kinase 1/2 (ERK1/2), and p70(s6k) were simultaneously activated after the HGF stimulation, peaking at 30min after the treatment. The activation of AKT, p70(s6k), and ERK1/2 induced by HGF was abolished by pre-treatment with LY294002, a phosphoinositide 3-OH kinase (PI3K) inhibitor, and U0126, a mitogen-activated protein kinase/ERK kinase (MEK) inhibitor, respectively. When the cells were pre-treated with LY294002 prior to the HGF stimulation, the proliferative action of HGF was completely abrogated, implying that the PI3K/AKT signaling pathway is responsible for the biological effect of HGF. These in vitro data indicate that HGF exerts a proliferative action on hepatic oval cells via activation of the PI3K/AKT signaling pathway. 相似文献

In vitro experiments have shown that the establishment of cell-cell contacts in intestinal epithelial cell cultures is a critical step in initiating ERK inhibition, cell cycle arrest, and induction of the differentiation process. Herein, we determined the mechanisms through which E-cadherin-mediated cell-cell contacts modulate the ERK pathway in intestinal epithelial cells. We report that: (1) removal of calcium from the culture medium of newly confluent Caco-2/15 cells (30 min, 4 mM EGTA) results in the disruption of both adherens and tight junctions and clearly decreases Akt phosphorylation while increasing MEK and ERK activities. Akt, MEK, and ERK activation levels return to control levels 60 min after calcium restoration; (2) the use of E-cadherin blocking antibodies efficiently prevents Akt phosphorylation and MEK-ERK inhibition after 70 min of calcium restoration; (3) using the PI3K inhibitor LY294002 (15 microM) in calcium switch experiments, we demonstrate that the assembly of adherens junctions activates Akt activity and triggers the inhibition of ERK1/2 activities in a PI3K-dependent manner; (4) adenoviral infection of confluent Caco-2/15 cells with a constitutively active mutant of Akt1 strongly represses ERK1/2 activities; (5) inhibition of PI3K abolishes Akt activity but leads to a rapid and sustained activation of the MEK-ERK1/2 in confluent differentiating Caco-2/15 cells, but not in undifferentiated growing Caco-2/15 cells. Our data suggest that E-cadherin engagement leads to MEK/ERK inhibition in a PI3K/Akt-dependent pathway. This mechanism may account for the role of E-cadherin in proliferation/differentiation transition along the crypt-villus axis of the human intestinal epithelium. 相似文献
