SiRNA‐Mediated Down‐Regulation of CLIC4 Gene Inhibits Cell Proliferation and Accelerates Cell Apoptosis of Mouse Liver Cancer Hca‐F and Hca‐P Cells

This study explored the effects involved in silencing CLIC4 on apoptosis and proliferation of mouse liver cancer Hca‐F and Hca‐P cells. A CLIC4‐target small interfering RNA (siRNA) was designed to compound into two individual complementary oligonucleotide chains. A process of annealing and connection to a pSilencer vector was followed by transfection with Hca‐F and Hca‐P cells. Quantitative real‐time polymerase chain reaction and Western blotting techniques were used to determine CLIC4 mRNA and protein expressions. CCK8 assay and flow cytometry were employed for analysis of the survival and apoptosis rate as well as the cell cycle in an octreotide‐induced apoptosis model. Expressions of caspase 3, caspase 9, and cleaved PARP were measured using Western blotting. The CLIC4 mRNA and protein expressions in Hca‐F and Hca‐P cells transfected by pSilencer‐CLIC4 siRNA plasmid in the blank group displayed remarkably decreased levels of expression, when compared with both the control and negative control (NC) groups. Decreased survival rates and cleaved PARP expression, increased cell apoptosis rate,expressions of caspase 3 and caspase 9 in Hca‐F and Hca‐P cells were detected in groups that had been cultured in a medium containing octreotide. The pSilencer‐CLIC4 siRNA‐2 group when compared with the control and NC groups exhibited decreased survival rates, cleaved PARP expression, increased cell apoptosis rates, and increased expressions of caspase 3 and caspase 9 of Hca‐F and Hca‐P cells. The results demonstrated that siRNA‐induced down‐regulation of CLIC4 could proliferation, while in turn promoting apoptosis of mouse liver cancer Hca‐F and Hca‐P cells. J. Cell.

Screening and test of CD40 related signal transduction pathway in AGS cells and construction of gene silencing vector

This study is designed to screen the CD40 related signal transduction pathway in AGS cells and construction of gene silencing vector. Analysis results showed 414 differential genes expression, including upregulation of 209 genes and downregulation of 205 genes. Basing on the ratio of signal in experimental group to signal in control group, 45 genes (38 genes upregulation and seven genes downregulation) with significant (P < 0.01) change in expression levels were screened according to the screening standard (signal log ratio ≥1 or ≤?1). These genes involved into metabolism, cell cycle and apoptosis, signal transduction and stress response. Furthermore, PI3K mRNA expression level in PI3K siRNA transfected AGS cells was 0.2335 ± 0.0116 72 h after transfection. This value was significantly (P < 0.05) lower than that in blank and negative control groups. PI3K protein expression in PI3K siRNA transfected AGS cells was significantly (P < 0.05) lower than that in blank and PI3K siRNA/N transfected groups. Therefore, PI3K siRNA gene silencing vector can significantly inhibit PI3K mRNA and protein expression in AGS cells.     

唇腭裂相关基因IRF6基因沉默促进细胞增殖和迁移并抑制上皮间质转化

干扰素调节因子6(interferon regulatory factor 6,IRF6)基因突变在单纯型和综合征型唇腭裂中均有报导。然而,其基因突变如何导致了唇腭裂的病理发生目前尚不清楚。本文以培养细胞为模型,研究了IRF6基因沉默对细胞增殖、迁移、凋亡以及上皮间质转化(epithelial-mesenchymal transition,EMT)的影响,从而探讨唇腭裂形成的可能的分子病理机制。采用分子克隆技术构建IRF6真核过表达载体;设计合成IRF6基因特异siRNA,成功构建IRF6基因沉默和过表达细胞模型;利用实时荧光定量PCR(qRT-PCR)、免疫印迹法(Western blot)检测转染siRNA-IRF6质粒48 h时,发现IRF6的mRNA和蛋白质表达均降低2倍;CCK8法检测转染siRNA-IRF6后,对细胞增殖能力提高1.98倍;划痕法观察转染siRNA-IRF6质粒72 h后检测细胞的迁移能力,比对照组增强2.36倍;利用Western印迹、qRT-PCR检测EMT标志性分子E-钙黏着蛋白(E-cadherin),发现过表达IRF6后EMT有显著降低。与对照相比,E-钙黏着蛋白表达下调3.57倍;流式细胞技术检测IRF6时未发现对细胞凋亡有影响。在体外培养细胞模型中,IRF6基因沉默显著促进了细胞的增殖和迁移,抑制EMT发生。提示IRF6这一唇腭裂相关基因有可能通过影响上述细胞事件,而导致唇腭裂的病理发生。     

Role of caspase‐9 in the effector caspases and genome expressions,and growth of bovine skeletal myoblasts

Caspase‐9 has been reported as the key regulator of apoptosis, however, its role in skeletal myoblast development and molecular involvements during cell growth still remains unknown. The current study aimed to present the key role of caspase‐9 in the expressions of apoptotic caspases and genome, and cell viability during myoblast growth using RNA interference mediated silencing. Three small interference RNA sequences (siRNAs) targeting caspase‐9 gene was designed and ligated into pSilencer plasmid vector to construct shRNA expression constructs. Cells were transfected with the constructs for 48 h. Results indicated that all three siRNAs could silence the caspase‐9 mRNA expression significantly. Particularly, the mRNA expression level of caspase‐9 in the cells transfected by shRNA1, shRNA2 and shRNA3 constructs were reduced by 37.85%, 68.20% and 58.14%, respectively. Suppression of caspase‐9 led to the significant increases in the mRNA and protein expressions of effector caspase‐3, whereas the reduction in mRNA and protein expressions of caspase‐7. The microarray results showed that the suppression of caspase‐9 resulted in significant upregulations of cell proliferation‐, adhesion‐, growth‐, development‐ and division‐regulating genes, whereas the reduction in the expressions of cell death program‐ and stress response‐regulating genes. Furthermore, cell viability was significantly increased following the transfection. These data suggest that caspase‐9 could play an important role in the control of cell growth, and knockdown of caspase‐9 may have genuine potential in the treatment of skeletal muscle atrophy.     

Over-expression of PTEN on proliferation and apoptosis in canine mammary tumors cells

Phosphatase and tensin homolog (PTEN) is an important tumor-suppressor gene which constitutes an important PI3K/Akt pathway by regulating the signaling of multiple biological processes, including apoptosis, metabolism, cell proliferation, and cell growth has been gaining increasing attention. However, the role of PTEN in regulating apoptosis of canine mammary tumors cells still needs further investigation. In this experiment, the effect of PTEN on proliferation and apoptosis in canine mammary tumors (CMT) cells was analyzed. As a result, gene and protein expression levels of apoptosis-related genes were detected. Eukaryotic expression vector pcDNA3.1+-PTEN were successfully constructed and stably transferred into canine CMT cells after geneticin (G418) selection. After pcDNA3.1+-PTEN transfection, compared with control group, the cells proliferation was inhibited and the cell apoptosis was increased in CMT cells. The expression of p-Akt was decreased and the apoptosis-related genes, such as caspase-3, caspase-9, and Bax, were increased. These data serve to demonstrate the function of PTEN on apoptosis and gene regulatory in PI3K/Akt pathway in CMT cells. Collectively, our data link the tumor-suppressor activities of PTEN to the machinery controlling cell cycle through the modulation of signaling molecules whose signal target is the functional inactivation of the apoptosis gene product.     

Evaluation of the Content of Antimony,Arsenic, Bismuth,Selenium, Tellurium and Their Inorganic Forms in Commercially Baby Foods

The purpose of the investigation is to reveal the influence of dietary calcium on fluorosis-induced brain cell apoptosis in rat offspring, as well as the underlying molecular mechanism. Sprague–Dawley (SD) female rats were randomly divided into five groups: control group, fluoride group, low calcium, low calcium fluoride group, and high calcium fluoride group. SD male rats were used for breeding only. After 3 months, male and female rats were mated in a 1:1 ratio. Subsequently, 18-day-old gestation rats and 14- and 28-day-old rats were used as experimental subjects. We determined the blood/urine fluoride, the blood/urine calcium, the apoptosis in the hippocampus, and the expression levels of apoptosis-related genes, namely Bcl-2, caspase 12, and JNK. Blood or blood/urine fluoride levels and apoptotic cells were found significantly increased in fluorosis rat offspring as compared to controls. Furthermore, the Bcl-2 messenger RNA (mRNA) expression levels significantly decreased, and caspase 12 mRNA levels significantly increased in each age group as compared to controls. Compared with the fluoride group, the blood/urine fluoride content and apoptotic cells evidently decreased in the high calcium fluoride group, Bcl-2 mRNA expression significantly increased and caspase 12 mRNA expression significantly decreased in each age group. All results showed no gender difference. Based on these results, the molecular mechanisms of fluorosis-induced brain cell apoptosis in rat offspring may include the decrease in Bcl-2 mRNA expression level and increase in caspase 12 mRNA expression signaling pathways. High calcium intake could reverse these gene expression trends. By contrast, low calcium intake intensified the toxic effects of fluoride on brain cells.
