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.  相似文献

Previous study indicated that β1,4-galactosyltransferase I (β1,4GT1) was up-regulated by cycloheximide (CHX) and thus enhanced apoptosis induced by CHX in SMMC-7721 cells. In this study, we reported that constitutively active Akt protein (myr-Akt) inhibited CHX-induced apoptosis in SMMC-7721 cells through down-regulating β1,4GT1. However, the two PI3K inhibitors LY294002 and wortmannin treatment up-regulated β1,4GT1 through enhancing Sp1 protein expression and consequently increased CHX-induced SMMC-7721 cells apoptosis. Besides, our results suggested that β1,4GT1 and cell surface galactose residues synthesized by elevated β1,4GT1 played an important role in SMMC-7721 cells apoptosis treated with CHX and PI3K inhibitor together. Moreover, we found that CHX accentuated β1,4GT1 through down-regulating Akt expression to mediate SMMC-7721 cells apoptosis. Taken together, PI3K inhibitors LY294002 and wortmannin up-regulated β1,4GT1 and enhanced CHX-induced apoptosis in SMMC-7721 cells, which suggested that PI3K inhibitors might have therapeutic potential when combined with CHX in the treatment of hepatoma.  相似文献

1,4 galactosyltransferase 1 ( 1,4GT1) synthesizes Gal 14GlcNAc groups in N-linked sugar chains of animal glycoproteins, which have been demonstrated to play an important role in many biological events, including sperm-egg interaction, cell migration and mammalian embryonic development. In this study, the mRNA level of 1,4GT1 was found to increase greatly during the 7721 hepatocarcinoma cells apoptosis induced by cycloheximide. Ricinus Communis Agglutinin-I staining indicated generous increase of Gal 14GlcNAc groups during apoptosis. Further study showed that the 7721 hepatocarcinoma cells transiently transfected with 1,4GT1 were more susceptible to the apoptosis induced by cycloheximide. The increased susceptibility was in accordance to the transfection concentration of 1,4GT1, which also led to the increased Gal 14GlcNAc groups on the transfected cell surface. All the observations suggested that 1,4GT1 and Gal 14GlcNAc groups might be associated with the apoptosis of human hepatocarcinoma cells.  相似文献

Our previous studies have shown that overexpression of β1,4-galactosyltransferase1 (β1,4GT1) leads to increased apoptosis induced by cycloheximide (CHX) in SMMC-7721 human hepatocarcinoma cells. However, the role of β1,4GT1 in apoptosis remains unclear. Here we demonstrated that cell surface β1,4GT1 inhibited the autophosphorylation of epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) especially at Try 1068. The phosphorylation of protein kinase B (PKB/Akt) and extracellular signal-regulated protein kinase1/2 (ERK1/2), which are downstream molecules of EGFR, were also reduced in cell surface β1,4GT1-overexpressing cells. Furthermore, the translocations of Bad and Bax that are regulated by PKB/Akt and ERK1/2 were also increased in these cells. As a result, the release of cytochrome c from mitochondria to cytosol was increased and caspase-3 was activated. In contrast, RNAi-mediated knockdown of β1,4GT1 increased the autophosphorylation of EGFR. These results demonstrated that cell surface β1,4GT1 may negatively regulate cell survival possibly through inhibiting and modulating EGFR signaling pathway.  相似文献

本文研究HMBA对人肝癌SMMC-7721细胞周期G0/G1期阻滞相关基因表达的影响。免疫细胞化学和核酸原位杂交检测结果显示,HMBA可明显上调p21^WAF1/CIP1、p16蛋白表达并增强p21^WAF1/CIP1基因转录,同时对CDK4、Cyclin D1蛋白表达以及c-myc基因转录均具有明显的下调作用。结果表明,HMBA可通过增强p21^WAF1/CIP1、p16基因表达而抑制Cyclin D1-CDK4活性,最终导致细胞进入S期所需的c-myc等基因转录活性下降,从而将细胞周期阻滞于G0/G1期,诱导人肝癌细胞分化。  相似文献

Transthyretin(TTR) gene was highly expressed in normal liver and it has been found to be deleted in part of DNA samples from human hepatic cancer.Its mRNA expression was suppressed in most hepatoma samples.In order to study the biological effect of TTR gene on the growth of hepatoma cells,a recombinant vector containing TTR cDNA was constructed by pCMV,then it was transfected into hepatoma cell lines SMMC-7721 and Q3.It has been demonstrated that the inhibition of growth rate of TTR cDNA transfected hepatoma cells was about 50% in strength compared with that of the control.This inhibition was further enhanced when the transfected hepatoma cells were treated with all-trans retinoic acid.Hepatoma cells of cell lines PLC/PRF/5,SMMC-7721 and Q3 as well as hepatoma cells SMMC-7721 transfected with pCMV or pCMV-TTR were analyzed for TTR expression by Northern hybridization.The low level of TTR expression was found in both hepatoma cell lines and in SMMC-7721 cells transfected with pCMV alone.However,a remarkable TTR mRNA expression was observed in hepatoma SMMV-7721 cells transfected with pCMV-TTR.It seems possible that TTR gene might be a candidate of cancer suppressor gene for human hepatic cancer.  相似文献

人类X-盒结合蛋白1(X-box binding protein1,XBP1)作为一种重要的转录因子,在细胞中涉及了广泛的信号调控过程。为进一步研究XBP1的生物学功能,首先利用生物信息学技术确定XBP1基因的启动子区域和2个缺失突变体的基因序列,聚合酶链反应扩增XBP1启动子和2个缺失突变体的基因序列,分别克隆至真核报告载体pCAT3-Basic中,构建3个报告载体p1-XBP1p、p2-XBP1p和p3-XBP1p,确定启动子活性最强的序列,并以该序列分别转染正常人肝细胞L02、人肝母细胞瘤细胞HepG2、人肝癌细胞SMMC-7721、人类红白血病细胞K562、人皮肤成纤维细胞HSF和人贮脂细胞Lipocyte Ito Cell 6种不同类型的细胞后(FuGENE 6 transfection reagents),CAT-ELISA方法检测氯霉素乙酰转移酶(CAT)在不同细胞系中的表达活性。每一组CAT结果反应了XBP1启动子转录活性的大小,其中p3-XBP1p在HepG2细胞中活性最强,是pCAT3-Basic的12.4倍,其次是K562和SMMC-7721,分别是10.9倍和10.0倍;在L02细胞中CAT酶活性低于上述3种异常细胞,在HSF和Ito细胞中CAT酶活性低或没有活性。运用适时荧光PCR方法和免疫印迹分别从mRNA水平和蛋白水平检测了XBP1在不同细胞中的表达情况,结果均显示XBP1在HepG2、K562和SMMC-7721细胞中的转录和表达强于L02、HSF和Ito细胞,在HSF细胞和L02细胞中转录和表达较低,在Ito细胞中几乎检测不到XBP1的表达,与CAT-ELISA检测结果一致。因此,XBP1启动子的转录活性在不同细胞中是具有差异的,而XBP1启动子转录活性的大小直接调控下游基因XBP1的表达,导致不同细胞中XBP1的表达丰度也不相同,XBP1启动子的转录活性和表达与细胞类型、细胞周期和组织特异性密切相关。本研究发现XBP1启动子的ATG上游-227bp~66bp区域与XBP1的转录活性密切相关,属于XBP1启动子的核心区域;进一步比较XBP1基因核心启动子区在不同细胞中转录活性的差别和XBP1基因表达丰度的差异,为揭示真核细胞中XBP1的转录调控机制奠定基础。  相似文献

The effects of transfection of the metastasis suppressor gene nm23-H1 and cell-cycle related tumor-suppressor gene p16 on the activity of N-acetylglucosaminyltransferase V (GnT-V) and their relations to cancer metastatic potential were investigated. After transfection of nm23-H1 into 7721 human hepatocarcinoma cells and A549 human lung cancer cells, the activities of GnT-V were decreased by 28%-42% in the cells. In contrast, when p16 was transfected into these two cell lines, the decrease of GnT-V activity was only observed in A549 cells. This was probably to be due to the obvious expression of p16 gene in parental 7721 cells and the deletion of p16 in A549 cells. The decrease of GnT-V mRNA was only observed in nm23-H1-transfected cells, but not in p16-transfected A549 cells, suggesting that these two genes regulated GnT-V via different mechanisms. Horseradish peroxidase (HRP)-lectin staining showed that the 7721 cells transfected with nm23-H1 or the A549 cells transfected with p16 displayed a decreased intensity with HRP-leucoagglutinating phytohemagglutinin and increased intensity with HRP-concanavalin A, indicating the decline of beta1,6 N-acetylglucosamine branching structure on the asparagine-linked glycans of cell-surface and intracellular glycoproteins. The nm23-H1 transfected 7721 cells also displayed some changes in metastasis-related phenotypes, including the increase in cell adhesion to fibronectin (Fn), the decline in cell adhesion to laminin (Ln), and the decreased cell migration and invasion through matrigel. Transfection of antisense GnT-V cDNA into 7721 cells resulted in a decrease of GnT-V activity, an increase of cell adhesion to Fn or Ln, and a decrease in cell migration and invasion through matrigel. These phenotypes bore similarity to those of the 7721 cells transfected with nm23-H1. Our findings indicate that the down-regulation of GnT-V by nm23-H1 contributes to the alterations in metastasis-related phenotypes, and is an important molecular mechanism of metastasis suppression mediated by nm23-H1.  相似文献

-1,4-galactosyltransferase 1 (1,4-GT 1) is the key enzyme transferring galactose to the terminal N-acetylglucosamine (GlcNAc) forming Gal14GlcNAc structure in the Golgi apparatus. In addition, it also serves as a cell adhesion molecule by recognizing and binding to terminal GlcNAc of glycoconjugates on the adjacent cell surface and matrix through a subpopulation of the enzyme distributed on the cell surface. Transient expression of the p58GTA protein kinase, which belongs to the p34cdc2-related supergene family, could enhance 1,4-GT 1 total activity in COS cells. In this study, the p58GTA interaction with 1,4-GT 1 was confirmed using an in vitro assay with the TNT® Coupled Reticulocyte Lysate System. An expression vector containing p58GTA was stably transfected into 7721 cells, a human hepatocarcinoma cell line, expression was confirmed by Northern and Western blot analyses. The cells transfected with p58GTA (p58GTA/7721) contained 1.9 times higher total 1,4-GT 1 activity and 2.6 times higher cell-surface 1,4-GT 1 activity than the mock transfected cells (pcDNA3/7721). However, Ricinus communis agglutinin-I lectin blot analysis revealed that the enhanced 1,4-GT 1 activity did not increase the Gal14GlcNAc groups on most of the membrane proteins in p58GTA/7721 cells. By flow cytometry analysis, it was found that the p58GTA/7721 cells were G2/M phase arrested, compared with the pcDNA3/7721 cells. These results suggest that the p58GTA stable transfection into human hepatocarcinoma cells could enhance the two 1,4-GT 1 subcellular pool activities independently and change its cell-cycle without modifying the -1,4-linked galactose residues on most membrane proteins.  相似文献
