5-Aza-CdR对膀胱癌细胞生长及hsa-miR-203表达的影响

许多研究表明,miRNAs在肿瘤中失活与特定的遗传和表观遗传机制改变有关,hsa-miR-203在膀胱癌组织和细胞中表达下调并扮演着抑癌基因的角色。为了验证hsa-miR-203在膀胱癌细胞中是否受DNA甲基化抑制,采用去甲基化抑制剂5-Aza-CdR(5-氮-2'-脱氧胞苷)处理5637和BIU-87膀胱癌细胞,MSP和RT-PCR检测表明,hsa-miR-203的启动子在5637和BIU-87细胞中存在完全的甲基化,而5-Aza-CdR能逆转hsa-miR-203启动子的甲基化状态,恢复hsa-miR-203的表达。MTT法测定显示,5-Aza-CdR使5637和BIU-87膀胱癌细胞增殖受到明显抑制,并呈时间和剂量依赖性。同时,流式细胞仪检测显示,5-Aza-CdR使5637和BIU-87膀胱癌细胞周期阻滞于G_0/G_1期。因此,5-Aza-CdR能抑制膀胱癌细胞5637和BIU-87增殖并干扰其细胞周期。hsa-miR-203启动子异常甲基化是其在膀胱癌细胞中低表达的重要机制,5-Aza-CdR能逆转hsa-miR-203基因的甲基化,恢复hsa-miR-203的表达,为hsa-miR-203作为膀...     

Knockdown of ribonuclease inhibitor expression with siRNA in non-invasive bladder cancer cell line BIU-87 promotes growth and metastasis potentials

Human ribonuclease inhibitor (RI) is a cytoplasmic acidic protein. RI is constructed almost entirely of leucine-rich repeats, which might be involved in some unknown biological functions like other structurally similar proteins besides inhibiting RNase A and angiogenin activities. Our previous experiments demonstrated that up-regulating RI might effectively inhibit some tumor growth and metastasis. However, the down-regulating RI influence on the tumor does not have any report until now, the mechanisms underlying antitumor of RI have not been fully understood. In this study, the efficient RNA interferences of RI were constructed using a plasmid vector and identified with RT-PCR, Western blot and Immunocytochemistry, then were transfected into non-invasive bladder cancer BIU-87 cells. We demonstrated that knockdown RI expression in BIU-87 cells could obviously change the cell morphology, rearrange the microfilaments and extend the lamellipodia, as well as enhance proliferation, increase migration, invasion and matrix metalloprotease level, and also reduce adhesion in vitro. BALB/C nude mice that were injected with the BIU-87 cells transfected RI siRNA showed a significant facilitation of the tumor with heavier tumor weight, higher density of microvessels, lower nm23-H1 and E-Cadherin expressions than those in the control group. Taken together, these experiments suggest that knockdown of RI could promote growth and metastasis potentials of BIU-87 cells. Our present findings reveal the novel mechanism that anti-tumor effect of RI is also involved in suppressing growth and metastasis, besides antiangiogenesis. The results show that RI may be a therapeutic target protein for bladder cancer and may be of biological importance.     

Mechanism of Monoclonal Antibody-Coupled Staphylococcus Superantigen-A Induced Apoptosis in Human Bladder Cancer Cells

To investigate the mechanism of apoptosis induced by BDI-1 monoclonal antibody (MAb) coupled Staphylococcal superantigen-A (SEA) in human bladder cancer cell line BIU-87. Human PBMC (effector cells) mediated cytotoxic killing of BIU-87 cells (target cells) was studied by culturing the BIU-87 cells in the presence of effector cells plus medium after their activation by treatment with SEA-targeted by MAb, SEA alone or vehicle (control). Proliferation and apoptosis of BIU-87 cells was measured after the treatments. Expression of Bax and Bcl-2 and cytokine concentration in co-culture supernatants were detected by Western blot and ELISA, respectively. Proliferation of MAb-targeted SEA BIU-87 cells decreased significantly (P < 0.05) as compared to control and SEA groups. Flow cytometry revealed apoptosis in SEA alone and more prominently in targeted-SEA treated in BIU-87 cells, which is significantly more than in controI cells (P < 0.05). In addition, Western blot analysis indicated that the ratio of Bax/Bcl-2 significantly increased by targeted SEA treatment, even at low concentration, as compared to cells treated with SEA alone or control cells (P < 0.05). However, there were no significant differences in IL-2, TNF-α and IFN-γ levels in the culture medium between SEA and targeted SEA groups, even though they are several folds higher than in control cells. SEA targeting by MAb significantly increases apoptosis in BIU-87 cells, possibly through the up-regulation of proapoptotic protein Bax and down regulation of antiapoptotic protein, Bcl-2.     

Small interfering RNA targeting integrin-linked kinase inhibited the growth and induced apoptosis in human bladder cancer cells

Integrin-linked kinase (ILK), an intracellular serine/threonine kinase, is implicated in cell growth and survival, cell-cycle progression, tumor angiogenesis, and cell apoptosis. Recent studies showed that the expression and activity of ILK increased significantly in many types of solid tumors. However, the exact molecular mechanism of ILK underlie tumor has not been fully ascertained. The purpose of our study was to determine whether knockdown of ILK would inhibit cell growth and induce apoptosis in bladder cancer cells using a plasmid vector based small interfering RNA (siRNA). The experiments showed that knockdown of ILK could remarkably inhibit cell proliferation and growth, regulate cell cycle and induce apoptosis of bladder cancer BIU-87 and EJ cells. We demonstrated that knockdown of ILK inhibited phosphorylation of downstream signaling targets protein kinase B/Akt, glycogen synthase kinase 3-beta (GSK-3β), and reduced expression of β-catenin in BIU-87 as well as EJ cells by Western blot and Immunofluorescence analysis. In addition, down-regulation of ILK also could increase expression of Ribonuclease inhibitor (RI), an important acidic cytoplasmic protein with many functions. BALB/C nude mice injected with the BIU-87 cells transfected ILK siRNA showed a significant inhibition of the tumor growth with lighter tumor weight, lower microvessels density and higher apoptosis rate than those in the other two control groups. In conclusion, these results suggest that ILK might be involved in the development of bladder cancer, and could be served as a novel potential therapy target for human bladder cancer. Our study may be of biological and clinical importance.     

Construction of a recombinant eukaryotic expression plasmid containing human PDLIM2 gene and its biological activity

In order to obtain a full-length expression plasmid for human PDLIM2 gene, fragment amplification was used to clone its full-length coding sequence (CDS) region. The amplified PCR product was then digested and inserted into the pMD 18-T vector and subcloned into the pIRES2-EGFP plasmid to form the pIRES2-EGFP-PDLIM2 eukaryotic expression vector. After it was transfected to the bladder cancer cell line, BIU-87, the biological activities of high expression were verified by RT-PCR and Western blotting. Meanwhile the mRNA and protein expressions of p65 were detected. Finally we analyzed the effect of overexpressed PDLIM2 on BIU-87 cell proliferation. In conclusion, a recombinant eukaryotic expression vector pIRES2-EGFP-PDLIM2 containing the complete CDS region of PDLIM2 was successfully constructed. PDLIM2 negatively regulated p65 expression and inhibited BIU-87 cell proliferation. We laid the foundations for further research into the function of the PDLIM2 gene in bladder cancer.
