目的:研究乳腺癌细胞中丝/苏氨酸蛋白激酶Plk1基因表达下调后对其恶性生物表型的影响。方法:利用pSitencer4.1-CMVneo质粒,分别构建针对Plk1基因的RNA干涉载体(pSilencer4.1-shPlk1),利用脂质体Lipofectamine2000转染MCF-7细胞,G418筛选稳定的转染细胞系。半定量RT—PCR和Western blot分别检测Plk1基因mRNA和蛋白表达,MTT和克隆形成试验检测细胞增殖活性的变化,流式细胞仪分析细胞周期和凋亡的变化,最后分析MCF-7细胞对紫杉类药物(紫杉醇和多西他赛)化疗敏感性的变化。结果:成功筛选了稳定转染细胞系(MCF-7/shPlk1和MCF-7/shcontro1)。同MCF-7/shPlk1细胞相比,MCF-7/shPtkl细胞中Plk1基因mRNA和蛋白表达水平分别下调65.8%和74.4%(P〈0.05)。同MCF-7/shcontrol,MCF-7tshPlk1细胞增殖速度显著抑制,到第5天时抑制率达到44.9±3.2%(P〈0.05)。同时,MCF-7/shPlk1细胞的克隆形成能力显著降低(P〈0.01)流式细胞仪技术分析细胞周期结果表明:MCF-7/shPlk1细胞的G2/M期细胞比例显著增加了21.1±4.1%,而S期细胞比例则显著降低了(18.5±3.1%;P〈0.05)。流式细胞仪技术分析细胞凋亡结果表明:MCF-7/shPlk1细胞的凋亡率约显著增加了13.1±213%(P〈0.05),同时还发现:MCF-7/shPlk1细胞中激活的caspase-3蛋白显著增加,Bcl-2蛋白显著降低,而Bax蛋白则显著增加。结论:RNA干涉载体能特异性下调乳腺癌细胞中Plk1基因的表达,从而抑制乳腺癌细胞的增殖和体外克隆形成能力,同时诱导乳腺癌细胞的G2/M期阻滞和细胞凋亡率显著增加。因此,靶向Plk1基因的生物治疗有望成为未来临床乳腺癌的一个重要的辅助治疗策略.  相似文献

iASPP was an inhibitory member of ASPP family and could specifically inhibit the apoptotic function of p53. iASPPsv was identified by our lab as the short isoform of iASPP, which encoded a 407aa protein and highly matched the carboxyl terminus of iASPP. In this study, iASPPsv was stably transfected into the breast cancer cell line MCF-7 by means of lentivirus to explore the effects of iASPPsv on biological functions of MCF-7. Thymocytes from iASPP/iASPPsv transgenic mice were also used to explore the effects of iASPP/iASPPsv on cell biological function. The results demonstrated that iASPPsv antagonized the growth inhibition induced by etoposide (VP-16) in MCF-7 cells. iASPPsv also down-regulated proapoptotic genes (Bax, Puma and Noxa) expression to inhibit apoptosis caused by VP-16. Moreover, iASPP and iASPPsv could both help the thymocytes of transgenic mice to resist the growth inhibition and apoptosis caused by dexamethasone (Dex) or VP-16. At the same time, DNA double strand break damage accumulated in either iASPPsv MCF-7 cells or iASPP/iASPPsv thymocytes. These findings showed that iAPSS/iASPPsv reduced the growth inhibition and apoptosis induced by Dex or VP-16, with DNA damage accumulating which might promote the pathogenesis and/or progression of cancer.  相似文献

Hsp90/p50cdc37 is required for mixed-lineage kinase (MLK) 3 signaling   总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3  
Mixed-lineage kinase 3 (MLK3) is a mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) kinase kinase that activates MAPK pathways, including the c-Jun NH(2)-terminal kinase (JNK) and p38 pathways. MLK3 and its family members have been implicated in JNK-mediated apoptosis. A survey of human cell lines revealed high levels of MLK3 in breast cancer cells. To learn more about MLK3 regulation and its signaling pathways in breast cancer cells, we engineered the estrogen-responsive human breast cancer cell line, MCF-7, to stably, inducibly express FLAG epitope-tagged MLK3. FLAG.MLK3 complexes were isolated by affinity purification, and associated proteins were identified by in-gel trypsin digestion followed by liquid chromatography/tandem mass spectrometry. Among the proteins identified were heat shock protein 90alpha,beta (Hsp90) and its kinase-specific co-chaperone p50(cdc37). We show that endogenous MLK3 complexes with Hsp90 and p50(cdc37). Further experiments demonstrate that MLK3 associates with Hsp90/p50(cdc37) through its catalytic domain in an activity-independent manner. Upon treatment of MCF-7 cells with geldanamycin, an ansamycin antibiotic that inhibits Hsp90 function, MLK3 levels decrease dramatically. Furthermore, tumor necrosis factor alpha-induced activation of MLK3 and JNK in MCF-7 cells is blocked by geldanamycin treatment. Our finding that geldanamycin treatment does not affect the cellular levels of the downstream signaling components, MAPK kinase 4, MAPK kinase 7, and JNK, suggests that Hsp90/p50(cdc37) regulates JNK signaling at the MAPK kinase kinase level. Previously identified Hsp90/p50(cdc37) clients include oncoprotein kinases and protein kinases that promote cellular proliferation and survival. Our findings reveal that Hsp90/p50(cdc37) also regulates protein kinases involved in apoptotic signaling.  相似文献

Compound 7t, 4-(4-bromophenyl)-6-(1-(4-chlorophenyl)-3-(4-nitrophenyl)-1H-pyrazol-4-yl) pyrimidin-2-amine, is a proven potent anticancer agent exhibiting Hsp90 inhibition in our previous studies. Herein, we explored the apoptotic potential of compound 7t by Annexin V assay. The mechanism underlining the apoptosis process is elucidated. As a potent Hsp90 inhibitor, compound 7t would induce the mitochondrial stress leading to increased permeability of its membrane, that would subsequently initiate the apoptosis in MCF-7 cells. This was proven by increased J-monomer formation using JC-1 stain. Moreover, due to the impaired mitochondrial function, compound 7t also exaggerated the apoptosis process by ROS generation as proved by DCFDA staining. The morphological and nuclear changes in MCF-7 cells following apoptosis were identified by AO/EB and DAPI staining techniques. It also induced subG1 phase cell cycle arrest. Thus, compound 7t could serve as potential drug in the treatment regimen of breast cancer.  相似文献

SNX-2112 is a heat shock protein 90 (Hsp90) inhibitor with anticancer properties currently in clinical trials. This study investigated the effects of SNX-2112 on inhibition of cell growth, the cell cycle, and apoptosis in MCF-7 human breast cancer cells, in addition to the various molecular mechanisms. The results of 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide (MTT) assay and flow cytometric analysis suggest that SNX-2112 inhibits cell growth in a time- and dose-dependent manner more potently than 17-(allylamino)-17-demethoxygeldanmycin (17-AAG), a traditional Hsp90 inhibitor, probably as a result of cell-cycle arrest at the G2/M phase and the induction of apoptosis. Downregulation of Bcl-2 and Bcl-xL, upregulation of Bax, cleavage of caspase-9 and poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP), and degradation of the breast cancer-related Hsp90 client proteins human epidermal growth factor receptor-2 (HER2), Akt, Raf-1, and nuclear factor kappa-B kinase (IKK) were observed in SNX-2112 treated cells by Western blot assay. These findings suggest that the molecular mechanisms of cell-growth inhibition by SNX-2112 involve activation of the mitochondrial apoptotic pathway and the degradation of breast cancer-related proteins.  相似文献

Withanolides are a large group of steroidal lactones found in Solanaceae plants that exhibit potential anticancer activities. We have previously demonstrated that a withanolide, tubocapsenolide A, induced cycle arrest and apoptosis in human breast cancer cells, which was associated with the inhibition of heat shock protein 90 (Hsp90). To investigate whether other withanolides are also capable of inhibiting Hsp90 and to analyze the structure-activity relationships, nine withanolides with different structural properties were tested in human breast cancer cells MDA-MB-231 and MCF-7 in the present study. Our data show that the 2,3-unsaturated double bond-containing withanolides inhibited Hsp90 function, as evidenced by selective depletion of Hsp90 client proteins and induction of Hsp70. The inhibitory effect of the withanolides on Hsp90 chaperone activity was further confirmed using in vivo heat shock luciferase activity recovery assays. Importantly, Hsp90 inhibition by the withanolides was correlated with their ability to induce cancer cell death. In addition, the withanolides reduced constitutive NF-κB activation by depleting IκB kinase complex (IKK) through inhibition of Hsp90. In estrogen receptor (ER)-positive MCF-7 cells, the withanolides also reduced the expression of ER, and this may be partly due to Hsp90 inhibition. Taken together, our results suggest that Hsp90 inhibition is a general feature of cytotoxic withanolides and plays an important role in their anticancer activity.  相似文献

We designed to investigate the effects of down-regulating the tumor susceptibility gene 101 (TSG101) on the proliferation and apoptosis of the human breast cancer MCF-7 cell line, and the role of the MAPK/ERK signal pathway in this process. The siRNA against TSG101 was transfected into the breast cancer MCF-7 cell line using Lipofectamine 2000. After TSG101 knockdown, the proliferation of MCF-7 cells was measured by the MTT assay. The cell cycle distribution and apoptosis were examined by using flow cytometry while cell migration was measured using a transwell assay. The protein level of p-ERK was further assessed by immunofluorescence and western blotting. Our results are as following, the MCF-7 cells transfected with TSG101 siRNA proliferated significantly slower and exhibited significantly increased rates of apoptosis compared to the control cells. In the TSG101 siRNA transfected cells, the percentage of cells in the G?/G? and S phase of the cell cycle was significantly higher and lower, respectively, compared to the control cells. Moreover, the migration ability of TSG101 siRNA transfected cells was lower than the control groups. Lastly, the level of p-ERK protein in TSG101 siRNA transfected cells was significantly decreased compared with the control cells. In conclusion, TSG101 knockdown in breast cancer cells induces apoptosis and inhibits proliferation. The TSG101 depleted cells are arrested at the G?/S transition of the cell cycle. The migration of breast cancer cells is also impaired by TSG101 siRNA. TSG101 may play a biological role through modulation of the MAPK/ERK signaling pathway in breast cancer.  相似文献

Silibinin is a natural polyphenol with high antioxidant and anticancer properties, which causes cell cycle arrest and apoptosis in most cancer cell types including breast cancer, but the in-line mechanisms, are still unknown. Silibinin significantly downregulated oncomiR miR-21 expression in breast cancer cells. Here the effect of anti-miR-21 on cell viability, apoptotic induction, cell cycle distribution, and the expression levels of downstream targets of miR-21 were investigated in MCF-7 and T47D cells. MiR-21 mimic transfection was also applied in silibinin treated samples to evaluate functional role of miR-21downregulation on silibinin effects. It was found that after anti-miR-21 transfection, no significant changes were detected in cell viability, apoptosis (except early apoptosis), and cell cycle in MCF-7 and T47D cells. Compared to silibinin, miR-21 mimic transfection in combination with silibinin caused a slight modulation in some of the examined silibinin effects including apoptosis, Bcl2 mRNA and PTEN mRNA and protein levels. Silibinin slightly changed luciferase activity from reporters containing the miR-21 recognition elements from PTEN-3′UTR and Bcl2-3′UTR in both cell lines. Together these data demonstrated negligible cancer-progression impact of miR-21 and limited roles of miR-21 downregulation in examined silibinin effects, and strengthened the anti-cancer pathways of silibinin other than miR-21downregulation in MCF-7 and T47D cells.  相似文献

We aimed to investigate the potential role and regulatory mechanism of long noncoding RNA tumor-associated lncRNA expressed in chromosome 2 (TALNEC2) in breast cancer. The expression of TALNEC2 in breast cancer tissues and cells were investigated. MCF-7 and MDA-MB-231 cells were transfected with small interfering RNA (siRNA) duplexes for targeting TALNEC2 (si-TALNEC2), enhancer of zeste homolog 2 (EZH2; si-EZH2) and p57KIP2 (si-p57 KIP2), and their corresponding controls (si-NC). The viability, colony forming ability, cell cycle, apoptosis, and autophagy of transfected cells were assessed. The expressions of p-p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) and nuclear factor κB (NF-κB) pathway-related proteins were investigated. The results showed that TALNEC2 was highly expressed in breast cancer tissues and cells. Knockdown of TALNEC2 significantly inhibited the malignant behaviors of MCF-7 and MDA-MB-231 cells, including inhibiting cell viability and colony forming, arresting cell cycle at G0/G1 phase, inducing cell apoptosis, and promoting cell autophagy. EZH2 was a TALNEC2 binding protein, which was upregulated in breast cancer tissues and cells and could negatively regulate p57 KIP2. Effects of TALNEC2 knockdown on malignant behaviors of MCF-7 cells were reversed by p57 KIP2 knockdown. The expressions of p-p38, RelA, and RelB in MCF-7 cells were decreased after knockdown of TALNEC2 or EZH2, which were reversed by knockdown of p57 KIP2 concurrently. In conclusion, TALNEC2 may play an oncogenic role in breast cancer by binding to EZH2 to target p57 KIP2. Activation of p-p38 MAPK and NF-κB pathways may be key mechanisms mediating the oncogenic role of TALNEC2 in breast cancer. TALNEC2 may serve as a promising target in the therapy of breast cancer.  相似文献

We recently showed that estrogen induces expression of the anti-apoptotic protein, Bcl-2 in MCF-7 human breast cancer cells. Since estrogen-dependent breast tumours can regress following estrogen withdrawal, we hypothesized that stable Bcl-2 expression would prevent estrogen-withdrawal induced regression of MCF-7 tumours. We therefore established tumours in ovariectomized female nude mice implanted with an estrogen-release pellet using untransfected MCF-7 cells or MCF-7 cells stably transfected with a Bcl-2 cDNA sense or antisense expression vector. All tumours grew at similar rates indicating that Bcl-2 levels have no effect on tumour formation. After removal of the estrogen pellet, Bcl-2 antisense tumours and untransfected MCF-7 tumours regressed means of 49% and 52%, respectively, after estrogen pellet removal whereas Bcl-2 sense tumours were significantly stabilized. Regressing tumours displayed characteristics of apoptotic cells. These results show that Bcl-2 can prevent hormone-dependent breast tumour regression and are consistent with the notion that decreased Bcl-2 levels following estrogen withdrawal renders hormone-dependent breast tumour cells sensitive to apoptotic regression.  相似文献
