The purpose of this study was to detect the expressions of GRP78 and Bax in human non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) tissues,
to analyze their correlations with carcinogenesis and the development of NSCLC, and to investigate the relationship of GRP78
expression to metastasis and apoptosis in the NSCLC cell line HCC827. The positive expression rates of GRP78 and Bax in NSCLC
lung tissues were 59.7% and 34.7% by RT-PCR, respectively. The mRNA and protein expression levels of GRP78 in NSCLC tissues
were significantly higher than that in the relatively normal surrounding lung tissues (p < 0.05); the lesser the degree of tumor differentiation was, the higher the mRNA and protein expression levels of GRP78 were
(p < 0.05). The mRNA and protein expression levels of GRP78 from patients in advanced pathological stages (III–IV) were significantly
higher than the corresponding levels in patients in early pathological stages (I–II) (p < 0.05); the mRNA and protein expression levels of GRP78 in patients with positive lymph node metastasis were significantly
higher than those in patients with negative lymph node metastasis (p < 0.05). The mRNA and protein expression levels of Bax in the above cases showed the opposite trend of the mRNA and protein
expression levels of GRP78. However, the mRNA and protein expression levels of both GRP78 and Bax were independent of the
patient’s sex, the patient’s age, the tumor size and the histological type (adenocarcinoma or squamous cell carcinoma) of
NSCLC (p > 0.05). The mRNA expression level of GRP78 and the mRNA expression level of Bax in human NSCLC tissues were negatively correlated
(r = −0.353, p = 0.002). After transfection of GRP78 siRNA in HCC827 cells, the GRP78 protein expression level was significantly decreased
(p < 0.01), while the Bax protein expression level was significantly increased (p < 0.01); the number of cells that passed through the Transwell chamber was significantly less in the non-transfected control
group compared to the transfected control group (p < 0.01). The number of apoptotic cells was significantly greater in the non-transfected control group compared to the transfected
control group (p < 0.01). The expression levels of GRP78 and Bax were related to the carcinogenesis, development and metastasis of NSCLC.
GRP78 expression with siRNA interference in the human NSCLC cell line HCC827 can reduce metastasis and promote apoptosis in
HCC827 cells. 相似文献

Male gender is a risk factor for the development of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) but the mechanisms are not fully understood. The RNA binding motif gene on the Y chromosome (RBMY), encoding a male germ cell-specific RNA splicing regulator during spermatogenesis, is aberrantly activated in human male liver cancers. This study investigated the in vitro oncogenic effect and the possible mechanism of RBMY in human hepatoma cell line HepG2 and its in vivo effect with regards to the livers of human and transgenic mice. RBMY expression in HepG2 cells was knocked down by RNA interference and the cancer cell phenotype was characterized by soft-agar colony formation and sensitivity to hydrogen-peroxide-induced apoptosis. The results revealed that RBMY knockdown reduced the transformation and anti-apoptotic efficiency of HepG2 cells. The expression of RBMY, androgen receptor (AR) and its inhibitory variant AR45, AR-targeted genes insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF-1) and insulin-like growth factor binding protein 3 (IGFBP-3) was analyzed by quantitative RT-PCR. Up-regulation of AR45 variant and reduction of IGF-1 and IGFBP-3 expression was only detected in RBMY knockdown cells. Moreover, RBMY positive human male HCC expressed lower level of AR45 as compared to RBMY negative HCC tissues. The oncogenic properties of RBMY were further assessed in a transgenic mouse model. Liver-specific RBMY transgenic mice developed hepatic pre-cancerous lesions, adenoma, and HCC. RBMY also accelerated chemical carcinogen-induced hepatocarcinogenesis in transgenic mice. Collectively, these findings suggest that Y chromosome-specific RBMY is likely involved in the regulation of androgen receptor activity and contributes to male predominance of HCC. 相似文献

Chrysin is a natural and biologically active flavonoid with anticancer effects. However, little is known about the adaptive response of cancer cells to chrysin. Chrysin reportedly has proteasome inhibitor activity. Previous studies demonstrated that proteasome inhibitors might induce endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress response. In this study, we aimed to determine the effects of chrysin on hepatoma cells and roles of the ER-resident protein GRP78 (glucose-regulated protein 78) in its action. Also, we investigated the effects of green tea polyphenol (-)-epigallocatechin-3-gallate (EGCG), a natural GRP78 inhibitor, on the sensitivity of hepatoma cells to chrysin. Here, we report that chrysin inhibits hepatoma cells growth and induces apoptosis in a dose-dependent manner. Chrysin induces GRP78 overexpression, X-box binding protein-1 splicing and eukaryotic initiation factor 2α phosphorylation, hallmarks of the unfolded protein response. GRP78 knockdown potentiates chrysin-induced caspase-7 cleavage in hepatoma cells and enhances chrysin-induced apoptosis. EGCG overcomes chrysin-induced GRP78 expression. Combination of EGCG potentiates chrysin-induced caspase-7 and poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP) cleavage. Finally, EGCG sensitizes hepatoma cells to chrysin through caspase-mediated apoptosis. These data suggest that chrysin triggers the unfolded protein response. Abrogation of GRP78 induction may improve the anticancer effects of chrysin. Combination of EGCG and chrysin represents a new regimen for cancer chemoprevention and therapeutics. 相似文献

Adipocyte secretes bioactive proteins called adipocytokines, and biosynthesis of secretory proteins requires molecular chaperones and folding enzymes in endoplasmic reticulum (ER). ER chaperones are known to be induced by unfolded protein response (UPR) and growth factors, however, it has not been determined how ER chaperones expression is regulated in adipocytes. Here we show that insulin treatment induced GRP78 and ERO1L mRNA levels in 3T3-L1 adipocytes. Insulin also upregulated CHOP mRNA levels, but did not induce phosphorylation of eIF2α. Pretreatment with insulin protected 3T3-L1 adipocytes against thapsigargin-mediated phosphorylation of eIF2α but did not against DTT-mediated one. In vivo mice study showed that GRP78 and CHOP expressions were regulated by feeding conditions. These results suggest that insulin signaling is important to induce mRNA expressions of GRP78 and CHOP, and may have a protective role against UPR. 相似文献

Herp is a stress-response protein localized in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) membrane. Herp was proposed to improve ER-folding, decrease ER protein load, and participate in ER-associated degradation (ERAD). Intra-muscle-fiber ubiquitinated multiprotein-aggregates containing, among other proteins, either amyloid-beta (Abeta) or phosphorylated tau are characteristic of sporadic inclusion-body myositis (s-IBM). ER stress and proteasome inhibition appear to play a role in s-IBM pathogenesis. We have now studied Herp in s-IBM muscle fibers and in ER-stress-induced or proteasome-inhibited cultured human muscle fibers. In s-IBM muscle fibers: (i) Herp was strongly immunoreactive in the form of aggregates, which co-localized with Abeta, GRP78, and beta2 proteasome subunit; (ii) Herp mRNA and protein were increased. In ER-stress-induced cultured human muscle fibers: (i) Herp immunoreactivity was diffusely increased; (ii) Herp mRNA and protein were increased. In proteasome-inhibited cultured human muscle fibers: (i) Herp immunoreactivity was in the form of aggregates; (ii) Herp protein was increased, but its mRNA was not. Accordingly, in s-IBM muscle fibers: (i) increase of Herp might be due to both ER-stress and proteasome inhibition; (ii) co-localization of Herp with Abeta, proteasome, and ER-chaperone GRP78 could reflect its possible role in processing and degradation of cytotoxic proteins in ER. 相似文献

Abnormal differentiation in epithelial stem cells or their immediate proliferative progeny, the transiently amplifying population (TAP), may explain malignant pathogenesis in the human prostate. These models are of particular importance as differing sensitivities to androgen among epithelial cell subpopulations during differentiation are recognised and may account for progression to androgen independent prostate cancer. Androgens are crucial in driving terminal differentiation and their indirect effects via growth factors from adjacent androgen responsive stroma are becoming better characterised. However, direct effects of androgen on immature cells in the context of a prostate stem cell model have not been investigated in detail and are studied in this work. In alpha2beta1hi stem cell enriched basal cells, androgen analogue R1881 directly promoted differentiation by the induction of differentiation-specific markers CK18, androgen receptor (AR), PSA and PAP. Furthermore, treatment with androgen down-regulated alpha2beta1 integrin expression, which is implicated in the maintenance of the immature basal cell phenotype. The alpha2beta1hi cells were previously demonstrated to lack AR expression and the direct effects of androgen were confirmed by inhibition using the anti-androgen bicalutamide. AR protein expression in alpha2beta1hi cells became detectable when its degradation was repressed by the proteosomal inhibitor MG132. Stratifying the alpha2beta1hi cells into stem (CD133(+)) and transient amplifying population (TAP) (CD133(-)) subpopulations, AR mRNA expression was found to be restricted to the CD133(-) (TAP) cells. The presence of a functional AR in the TAP, an androgen independent subpopulation for survival, may have particular clinical significance in hormone resistant prostate cancer, where both the selection of immature cells and functioning AR regulated pathways are involved. 相似文献

Ge-Jee-Bok-Ryung-Hwan (GJBRH), a commonly used herb formulation in Korea, Japan and China, caused a decrease of viability in HeLa human cervical carcinoma cells. The treatment of GJBRH resulted in genomic DNA fragmentation as well as the increase of Sub-G1 portion in cell cycle analysis. In this study, GFP-Bax over-expression system showed that Bax, pro-apoptotic Bcl-2 family protein, was translocated to mitochondria by the presence of GJBRH. The treatment of BAPTA-AM, permeable endogenous calcium chelator, inhibited GJBRH-induced caspase-3 and -9 activations, the release of cytochrome c and Smac/DIABLO into cytoplasm and the resultant cell death in HeLa human cervical carcinoma cells. The treatment of BAPTA-AM increased the expression of XIAP, which mediates binding to and inhibiting caspases and showed protective effect, in GJBRH-treated cells. GJBRH induced the expression of Glucose Response Protein 78 (GRP 78), a positive ER stress marker protein. However, BAPTA-AM did not interfere with the ER-stress response pathway that triggers the expression of GRP 78. This study showed that GJBRH induces cell death, which occurs downstream of or parallel to this point in the ER-stress pathway linked to apoptosis. In conclusion, GJBRH induces apoptosis in HeLa cells via ER stress-pathway associated mitochondria-dependent apoptosis mechansim. 相似文献

Abeta (amyloid-beta peptides) generated by proteolysis of APP (beta-amyloid precursor protein), play an important role in the pathogenesis of AD (Alzheimer's disease). ER (endoplasmic reticulum) chaperones, such as GRP78 (glucose-regulated protein 78), make a major contribution to protein quality control in the ER. In the present study, we examined the effect of overexpression of various ER chaperones on the production of Abeta in cultured cells, which produce a mutant type of APP (APPsw). Overexpression of GRP78 or inhibition of its basal expression, decreased and increased respectively the level of Abeta40 and Abeta42 in conditioned medium. Co-expression of GRP78's co-chaperones ERdj3 or ERdj4 stimulated this inhibitory effect of GRP78. In the case of the other ER chaperones, overexpression of some (150 kDa oxygen-regulated protein and calnexin) but not others (GRP94 and calreticulin) suppressed the production of Abeta. These results indicate that certain ER chaperones are effective suppressors of Abeta production and that non-toxic inducers of ER chaperones may be therapeutically beneficial for AD treatment. GRP78 was co-immunoprecipitated with APP and overexpression of GRP78 inhibited the maturation of APP, suggesting that GRP78 binds directly to APP and inhibits its maturation, resulting in suppression of the proteolysis of APP. On the other hand, overproduction of APPsw or addition of synthetic Abeta42 caused up-regulation of the mRNA of various ER chaperones in cells. Furthermore, in the cortex and hippocampus of transgenic mice expressing APPsw, the mRNA of some ER chaperones was up-regulated in comparison with wild-type mice. We consider that this up-regulation is a cellular protective response against Abeta. 相似文献

Background
We previously reported that the hepatitis C virus (HCV) nonstructural protein 5A (NS5A) down-regulates TLR4 signaling and lipopolysaccharide-induced apoptosis of hepatocytes. There have been several reports regarding the association between HCV infection and endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress. Here, we examined the regulation of HCV NS5A on the apoptosis of hepatocytes induced by thapsigargin, an inducer of ER stress.Methods
The apoptotic response to thapsigargin and the expression of molecules involved in human hepatocyte apoptotic pathways were examined in the presence or absence of HCV NS5A expression.Results
HCV JFH1 infection induced ER stress in the Huh7 cell line. HCV NS5A protected HepG2 cells against thapsigargin-induced apoptosis, the effect of which was linked to the enhanced expression of the 78-kDa glucose-regulated protein/immunoglobulin heavy-chain binding protein (GRP78). Consistent with a conferred pro-survival advantage, HCV NS5A reduced poly(adenosine diphosphate-ribose) polymerase cleavage and activation of caspases-3, -7 and -9, and Bax expression, while increasing the expressions of the anti-apoptotic molecules XIAP and c-FLIP. HCV NS5A weakly interacts with GRP78 and enhances GRP78 expression in hepatocytes.Conclusion
HCV NS5A enhances GRP78 expression, resulting in the inhibition of apoptotic properties, and inhibits thapsigargin-induced apoptotic pathways in human hepatocytes, suggesting that disruption of ER stress-mediated apoptosis may have a role in the pathogenesis of HCV infection. Thus, HCV NS5A might engender the survival of HCV-infected hepatocytes contributing to the establishment of persistent infection. 相似文献15.

Clinical management of castration-resistant prostate cancer (CRPC) resulting from androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) remains challenging. Many studies indicate that androgen receptor splice variants (ARVs) play a critical role in the development of CRPC, including resistance to the new generation of inhibitors of androgen receptor (AR) action. ARVs are constitutively active and lack the ligand-binding domain (LBD), thereby allowing prostate cancer (PC) to maintain AR activity despite therapies that target the AR (full-length AR; AR-FL). Previously, we have reported that long-term ADT increases the neuroendocrine (NE) hormone – Gastrin Releasing Peptide (GRP) and its receptor (GRP-R) expression in PC cells. Further, we demonstrated that activation of GRP/GRP-R signaling increases ARVs expression by activating NF-κB signaling, thereby promoting cancer progression to CRPC. Most importantly, as a cell surface protein, GRP-R is easily targeted by drugs to block GRP/GRP-R signaling. In this study, we tested if blocking GRP/GRP-R signaling by targeting GRP-R using GRP-R antagonist is sufficient to control CRPC progression. Our studies show that blocking GRP/GRP-R signaling by targeting GRP-R using RC-3095, a selective GRP-R antagonist, efficiently inhibits NF-κB activity and ARVs (AR-V7) expression in CRPC and therapy-induced NEPC (tNEPC) cells. In addition, blocking of GRP/GRP-R signaling by targeting GRP-R can sensitize CRPC cells to anti-androgen treatment (such as MDV3100). Further, preclinical animal studies indicate combination of GRP-R antagonist (targeting ARVs) with anti-androgen (targeting AR-FL) is sufficient to inhibit CRPC and tNEPC tumor growth. 相似文献

GRP78 is a resident protein of the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) and a member of the glucose regulated protein (GRP) family. Many secretion incompetent proteins are found in stable association with GRP78 and are retained in the ER. Some proteins which are destined for secretion transiently associate with GRP78. To further increase our understanding of the role of GRP78 in secretion, we have stably overexpressed GRP78 in Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cells and examined the effect on protein secretion and the stress response. GRP78 overexpressing cells treated with tunicamycin or A23187 exhibited a reduced induction of endogenous GRP78 and GRP94 mRNAs compared to wild-type CHO cells. This suggests that GRP78 overexpression either alleviates the stress or is directly involved in signaling stress-induced expression of GRPs. Transient expression of secreted proteins was used to measure secretion efficiency in the GRP78 overexpressing cells. Secretion of von Willebrand factor and a mutant form of factor VIII, two proteins which transiently associate with GRP78, was reduced by GRP78 overexpression. In contrast, secretion of M-CSF, which was not detected in association with GRP78, was unaffected. This indicates that elevated levels of GRP78 may increase stable association and decrease the secretion efficiency of proteins which normally transiently associate with GRP78. These results indicate that one function of GRP78 is selective protein retention in the ER. 相似文献
