Migration toward pathological area is the first critical step in microglia engagement during the central nervous system (CNS) injury, although the molecular mechanisms underlying microglia mobilization have not been fully understood. Here, we report that hypoxia promotes stromal cell-derived factor-1α (SDF-1α) induced microglia migration by inducing the CXC chemokine receptor 4 (CXCR4) expression. Exposure to hypoxia significantly enhanced CXCR4 expression levels in N9 microglia cell. Then, cell migration induced by SDF-1, a CXCR4-specific ligand, was observed accelerated. Blockade of hypoxia inducible factor-1α (HIF-1α) activation by inhibitors of phosphoinositide-3-kinase (PI3K)/Akt signaling pathway abrogated both of hypoxia-induced CXCR4 up-regulation and cell-migration acceleration. These results point to a crucial role of Hypoxia-HIF-1α-CXCR4 pathway during microglia migration. 相似文献

The better adaptation of native Tibetans to hypoxia is thought to be partly due to improved umbilical circulation, which results in reduced pre- and postnatal fatalities. We hypothesized that the difference in umbilical circulation between native Tibetans and other high-altitude inhabitants was due to differences in the expression of hypoxia-induced factor (HIF-1) and its target genes vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS). We tested this hypothesis by examining the effect of hypoxia on the expression of HIF-1alpha, VEGF, and iNOS in cultured umbilical venous endothelial cells (UVECs) from native Tibetans and immigrant Hans. UVECs were collected and cultured under hypoxic (0.5% oxygen) or normoxic conditions for 2, 4, 12 and 24 h. The mRNA levels of HIF-1alpha, VEGF, endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS) and iNOS and the protein level of HIF-1alpha were determined with RT-PCR and Western blot analyses, respectively. In both immigrant Han and Tibetans, HIF-1alpha mRNA was constitutively expressed under normoxic condition, and remained constant after hypoxic exposure. In contrast, HIF-1alpha protein was undetectable under normoxic condition, but underwent dynamic changes in response to hypoxia. It was induced at 4 h, peaked at 12 h, and remained elevated at 24 h. Concurrent with the induction of HIF-1alpha protein, the mRNA levels of VEGF and iNOS were also up-regulated whereas that of eNOS was down-regulated. The lack of a hypoxia-related difference in the expression of HIF-1alpha and its target genes suggests that HIF-1alpha does not play a critical role in high altitude adaptation. Alternative mechanisms may be responsible for the better adaptation of native Tibetans. 相似文献

Short interfering RNAs (siRNAs) that target viral genes can efficiently inhibit human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) replication. Nevertheless, there is the potential for viral escape, particularly with a highly mutable target such as HIV-1. We present a novel strategy for anticipating and preventing viral escape using second-generation siRNAs. The evolutionary capacity of HIV-1 was tested by exerting strong selective pressure on a highly conserved sequence in the HIV-1 genome. We assayed the antiviral efficacy of five overlapping siRNAs directed against an essential region of the HIV-1 protease. Serial viral transfers in U87-CD4-CXCR4 cells were performed using four of the siRNAs. This procedure was repeated until virus breakthrough was detected. After several serial culture passages, resistant virus with a single point mutation in the targeted region was detected in the culture supernatants. The emergence of resistant virus was confirmed by molecular cloning and DNA sequencing of viral RNA. The most common escape route was the D30N mutation. Importantly, the addition of a second-generation siRNA that matched the D30N mutation restored viral inhibition and delayed development of escape variants. Passages performed with both siRNAs prevented the emergence of the D30N escape mutant and forced the virus to develop new escape routes. Thus, second-generation siRNAs can be used to block escape from RNA interference (RNAi) and to search for new RNAi escape routes. The protocol described here may be useful for exploring the sequence space available for HIV-1 evolution and for producing attenuated or deleterious viruses. 相似文献

Knockdown of stromal interaction molecule 1 (STIM1) significantly suppresses neointima hyperplasia after vascular injury. Endothelial progenitor cells (EPCs) are the major source of cells that respond to endothelium repair and contribute to re-endothelialization by reducing neointima formation after vascular injury. We hypothesized that the effect of STIM1 on neointima hyperplasia inhibition is mediated through its effect on the biological properties of EPCs. In this study, we investigated the effects of STIM1 on the proliferation and migration of EPCs and examined the effect of STIM1 knockdown using cultured rat bone marrow-derived EPCs. STIM1 was expressed in EPCs, and knockdown of STIM1 by adenoviral delivery of small interfering RNA (siRNA) significantly suppressed the proliferation and migration of EPCs. Furthermore, STIM1 knockdown decreased store-operated channel entry 48 h after transfection. Replenishment with recombinant human STIM1 reversed the effects of STIM1 knockdown. Our data suggest that the store-operated transient receptor potential canonical 1 channel is involved in regulating the biological properties of EPCs through STIM1. STIM1 is a potent regulator of cell proliferation and migration in rat EPCs and may play an important role in the biological properties of EPCs. 相似文献

To explore the molecular mechanism of autologous blood transfusion promoting autophagy of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) cells and inhibiting the HCC progression through HIF-1α signalling pathway. This is a research paper. Rat hepatocellular carcinoma model and HepG2 cell model were built. The rats with HCC were conducted a surgery, and their blood was collected for detection to detect the recurrence and metastasis of the rats. Western blot was used to analysed the expression of HIF-1α, TP53, MDM2, ATG5 and ATG14 protein. The apoptosis rate of HepG2 cells was detected by flow cytometry, and autophagosomes were observed by transmission electron microscopy. HIF-1α expression was measured by immunofluorescence assay. The expressions of HIF-1α, TP53, MDM2, ATG5 and ATG14 protein were highest in model + autoblood group compared with the model group. HIF-1α content of model group was higher, but content of TP53, MDM2, ATG5 and ATG14 in the model group is the second. The highest apoptosis rate was found in HepG2 + autoblood group. The number of autophagosomes in HepG2 + autoblood was obviously larger than that of HepG2 + autoblood + inhibitor. HIF-1α expression of immunofluorescence assay showed that high expression of HIF-1α was clearly observed in HepG2 and HepG2 + autoblood group from confocal observation. However, there was no HIF-1α protein expression in HepG2 + autoblood + inhibitor group. The migration rate in HepG2 group, HepG2 + autoblood group and HepG2 + autoblood + inhibitor group was 85.71 ± 7.38%, 14.36 ± 6.54% and 61.25 ± 5.39%, respectively. Autologous blood transfusion promotes autophagy of HCC cells through HIF-1α signalling pathway, which further inhibits HCC migration and erosion. 相似文献

Radiotherapy can cause unacceptable levels of damage to normal tissues in some cancer patients. To understand the molecular mechanisms underlying radiation-induced physiological responses, and to be able to predict the radiation susceptibility of normal tissues in individual patients, it is important to identify a comprehensive set of genes responsible for radiation susceptibility. We have developed a simple and rapid 96-well screening protocol using cell proliferation assays and RNA interference to identify genes associated with radiation susceptibility. We evaluated the performance of alamarBlue-, BrdU-, and sulforhodamine B-based cell proliferation assays using the 96-well format. Each proliferation assay detected the known radiation susceptibility gene, PRKDC. In a trial screen using 28 shRNA vectors, another known gene, CDKN1A, and one new radiation susceptibility gene, ATP5G3, were identified. Our results indicate that this method may be useful for large-scale screens designed to identify novel radiation susceptibility genes. 相似文献

Within the recent years, RNA interference (RNAi) has become an almost-standard method for in vitro knockdown of any target
gene of interest. Now, one major focus is to further explore its potential in vivo, including the development of novel therapeutic
strategies. From the mechanism, it becomes clear that small interfering RNAs (siRNAs) play a pivotal role in triggering RNAi.
Thus, the efficient delivery of target gene-specific siRNAs is one major challenge in the establishment of therapeutic RNAi.
Numerous studies, based on different modes of administration and various siRNA formulations and/or modifications, have already
accumulated promising results. This applies to various animal models covering viral infections, cancer and multiple other
diseases. Continuing efforts will lead to the development of efficient and “double-specific” drugs, comprising of siRNAs with
high target gene specificity and of nanoparticles enhancing siRNA delivery and target organ specificity. 相似文献
