Wnt/β-catenin信号通路对重度子痫前期患者胎盘滋养层细胞侵袭和增殖的影响

为了阐明Wnt/β-catenin信号通路在子痫前期发生发展中的作用机制,本研究应用RT-PCR检测了子痫前期和正常妊娠妇女胎盘中的Wnt1、β-catenin和cyclinD1的mRNA水平。通过Western blotting检测了Wnt1、β-catenin、Dickkopf-1 (DKK1)和糖原合成酶激酶3β(GSK-3β)蛋白的表达水平。使用免疫组化定位胎盘中Wnt1、β-catenin和DKK1蛋白的表达。研究显示,与对照组正常胎盘相比,重度子痫前期胎盘中Wnt1、β-catenin和cyclinD1的mRNA表达水平显著降低。Western blotting结果显示,对照组Wnt1、β-catenin和GSK-3β蛋白表达水平显著升高,而DKK1表达水平显著降低。此外,与对照组相比,子痫前期组胎盘中Wnt1和β-catenin的染色强度较弱,而DKK1的染色强度明显增强。说明子痫前期患者胎盘中Wnt/β-catenin信号通路及其下游靶基因被抑制,导致滋养层的侵袭和增殖能力降低,从而促进了子痫前期的发生发展。     

PC-1在前列腺癌细胞中促进c-myc基因的表达

前列腺癌相关基因PC-1(Prostate and colon gene1)是属于癌基因D52家族成员,具有促进前列腺癌细胞雄激素非依赖性生长的功能。为了研究PC-1发挥这种生物功能的分子机制,文章在PC-1高表达的LNCaP-pc-1及对照LNCaP-zero细胞中,利用RT-PCR和Western blotting等方法检测c-myc基因表达;提取两细胞胞质和胞核蛋白,利用Western blotting分析c-myc上游调节蛋白β-catenin变化;利用c-Myc蛋白抑制剂10058-F4作用前列腺癌细胞C4-2,Western blotting检测PC-1蛋白表达变化。发现PC-1促进c-myc基因表达,并促进β-catenin入核;c-Myc蛋白抑制剂10058-F4可抑制PC-1的表达。结果表明:PC-1在前列腺癌中促进c-myc基因的表达,并且这种促进作用可能是通过Wnt/β-catenin信号通路实现的。同时,PC-1与c-Myc蛋白间可相互促进,进一步促进前列腺癌细胞雄激素非依赖性生长。

LY294002对CML急变期细胞中Wnt／β-catenin信号通路的影响及其效应

β-catening在慢性粒细胞白血病急变过程中发挥着重要作用,而其受BCR／ABLTL其下游信号通路调控的具体分子机制尚未完全阐明。该研究旨在探讨PI3K-AK聪号通路对慢粒急变期细胞的影响及其对Wnt／β-catenin信号通路的调控作用。采用P13K-AKT信号通路的靶向抑制剂LY294002作用于慢粒急变期K562细胞,MTT法检测其对细胞增殖的影响,甲基纤维素克隆形成实验检测细胞的克隆形成能力,Western blot检测pAKT（Thr308）的表达变化,RT-PCR和Western blot分别检测β-catenin及其下游靶基因c—myc、cyclinD1的mRNA和蛋白表达情况。结果显示,10,20,40μmol/L的LY294002作用细胞24h后,抑制了K562细胞的增殖以及克隆形成能力。该效应呈浓度依赖的方式。3种浓度的LY294002处理细胞后,PI3K—AKT信号通路明显被抑制,pAKT（Thr308）的蛋白表达明显减少;β-catenin的mRNA表达无明显改变,但其蛋白水平依次减少;β-catenin的下游靶基因c-myc、cyclin D1的mRNA和蛋白水平均明显降低。综上所述,抑制PI3K-AKT信号通路可抑制白血病K562细胞的增殖和克隆形成能力,其机制可能与抑制Wnt／β-catenin信号通路相关。     

DKK-1通过上调nm23表达抑制乳腺癌细胞迁移

Dickkopf-1(DKK-1)作为Wnt/β-连环蛋白(Wnt/β-catenin)经典信号传导通路的拮抗剂而受到关注.为了进一步阐明DKK-1在乳腺癌细胞迁移中的作用及其分子机制,应用我们建立的乳腺癌细胞MCF-7高转移倾向亚克隆LM-MCF-7细胞株,比较了DKK-1在不同转移能力的乳腺癌细胞株中表达水平及其与细胞迁移能力的关系.结果显示,DKK-1在LM-MCF-7细胞中表达明显下调;"伤口愈合"实验结果表明,在MCF-7细胞中,RNA干扰DKK-1可导致细胞迁移能力增强;相反,在LM-MCF-7细胞中过表达DKK-1则可抑制细胞的迁移.进一步研究结果显示,DKK-1为肿瘤转移抑制因子nm23的上游激活因子.因此,我们的研究结果表明,DKK-1表达水平下调导致nm23表达水平下调,解除了对乳腺癌细胞迁移的抑制作用,是LM-MCF-7乳腺癌细胞具有高迁移能力的原因之一;反之,与LM-MCF-7相比,DKK-1在MCF-7细胞中高表达,其通过上调nm23可抑制乳腺癌细胞迁移.这一发现对进一步揭示乳腺癌细胞转移的分子机制具有的重要意义.     

The role of Dickkopf-1 as a potential prognostic marker in pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma

Dickkopf-1(DKK-1), the downstream target of β-catenin/T-cell factor, participates in a negative feedback loop in the Wnt signaling and reported as an important biomarker in many tumors. In this study, we analyzed the expression of DKK-1 in pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) patients at both mRNA and protein levels. We used real-time PCR to detect the expression of DKK-1 in 32 PDAC and paired adjacent non-tumor tissues, results suggested that the expression of DKK-1 was increased in PDAC tissues. We found the similar results in the analysis of 3 independent microarray data sets. Immunohistochemical staining of 311 pairs of PDAC tissues suggested that DKK-1 expression was significantly associated with T classification (P = 0.039) and lymph node metastasis (P = 0.035). Furthermore, Kaplan-Meier analysis for DKK-1 expression demonstrated that patients with higher DKK-1 level had shorter overall survival (OS) and relapse-free survival (RFS) time in Ren Ji cohort and online PDAC database at both mRNA and protein levels. Univariable and multivariable Cox regression analysis confirmed that DKK-1 as well as lymph node metastasis and histology were independent predictors of OS in patients with PDAC. This study demonstrated that DKK-1 may be a predictor for prognosis in PDAC patients.     

Decreased Serum Wnt Antagonist Levels in Patients With Active Acromegaly

ObjectiveThe Wnt signaling pathway is an important modulator of bone metabolism. This study aims to clarify the changes in Wnt antagonists in active and biochemically controlled acromegalic patients.MethodsWe recruited 77 patients recently diagnosed with acromegaly. Of those, 41 patients with complete follow-up data were included. Thirty healthy patients matched for age, sex, and body mass index served as controls. At baseline and posttreatment, Wnt antagonists (sclerostin [SOST], dickkopf-related protein 1 [DKK-1], and Wnt inhibitory factor 1 [WIF-1]), bone turnover markers (osteocalcin, procollagen type 1 N-terminal propeptide [P1NP], and C-terminal telopeptide of type 1 collagen [CTX]) and the bone remodeling index were investigated.ResultsAcromegalic patients had higher serum osteocalcin, P1NP, and CTX and a higher bone remodeling index than controls (P < .01). Serum SOST, DKK-1, and WIF-1 levels were significantly decreased in patients compared to controls (all P < .01). Serum SOST and WIF-1 levels were negatively correlated with growth hormone levels; SOST levels were positively correlated with WIF-1. After treatment, serum bone turnover markers and the bone remodeling index decreased, while SOST and WIF-1 significantly increased (P < .05). DKK-1 levels did not change compared to baseline (P > .05). In biochemically controlled patients, SOST and WIF-1 levels and bone turnover markers were restored and did not differ from those of the control participants (all P > .05).ConclusionPatients with active acromegaly exhibited significantly decreased Wnt antagonist levels. The reduction in Wnt antagonists is a compensatory mechanism to counteract increased bone fragility in active acromegaly.     

microRNA-383 regulates cell viability and apoptosis by mediating Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway in non–small cell lung cancer

The aim of this study was to investigate the roles of microRNA-383 (miRNA-383) in progression of non–small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) and the potential mechanism. The expressions of miR-383 and Wnt1 protein were detected in lung cancer tissues and cells by quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) and Western blot analysis. After the transfection of miR-383 mimics, si-Wnt1 or miR-383+Wnt1, the viability and apoptosis of NSCLC cells were detected by cell counting kit-8 and terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase–mediated dUTP nick-end labeling, respectively. The interaction between miR-383 and Wnt1 was investigated by luciferase activity and Western blot analysis. Cells stably transfected with miR-383 mimics were inoculated into the right axillary of nude mice by subcutaneous injection. The tumor volume and weight were measured, and the expressions of miR-383, Wnt1, β-catenin, and cyclin D1 were detected by qRT-PCR and Western blot analysis. The expression of miR-383 was significantly decreased, and the level of Wnt1 was significantly increased (P < 0.05) in lung cancer tissues and cells. Upregulation of miR-383 or inhibition of Wnt1 expression inhibited the cell viability and induce apoptosis in NSCLC cells. Moreover, Wnt1 was the target gene of miR-383, and its overexpression weakened the regulatory effect of miR-383 on cell viability and apoptosis in NSCLC cells. Besides, the addition of miR-383 decreased the tumor volume and size and inhibited the expressions of Wnt1, β-catenin, and cyclin D1 at the protein level in nude mice. Collectively, miR-383 induced apoptosis and inhibited cell viability as well as tumorigenic capacity in nude mice via regulating the Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway.     

Wnt/β-catenin信号通路在博来霉素诱导的系统性硬化症小鼠模型血管重塑中的作用

系统性硬化症(systemic sclerosis,SSc)是一种慢性可累及全身多脏器的自身免疫性疾病,以广泛的血管病变及皮肤和内脏的纤维化为特征,但其机制迄今尚不明确。已有研究证实,Wnt通路参与了SSc纤维化,但其在血管病变中的病理作用尚未见报道。本研究拟采用博来霉素(bleomycin,BLM)诱导的SSc小鼠模型,探讨Wnt通路在SSc皮肤血管病变中的作用。将18只Balb/C小鼠随机平均分为3组,分别设为对照组(于小鼠背部皮下注射PBS 100 μL/d)、模型组(于小鼠背部皮下注射浓度为 1 mg/mL 博来霉素BLM 100 μL/d)和治疗组(于小鼠背部皮下注射 1 mg/mL BLM 100 μL/d,同时腹腔注射Wnt及β-catenin的抑制剂 iCRT3 5 mg/kg·d),于造模第28 d处死小鼠。小鼠皮肤取材后,通过HE染色及Masson染色观察到经BLM诱导的模型组小鼠背真皮、表皮厚度较对照组皮肤均明显增加(P<0.05),同时模型组的皮脂腺、毛囊等皮肤附属器明显减少,脂肪层厚度变薄并被纤维组织包绕,模型组皮肤胶原沉积较对照组增加;通过免疫组织化学染色在组织学层面鉴定α-SMA表达情况,发现模型组及治疗组α-SMA在皮肤组织中均高表达,α-SMA阳性表达在血管周围较对照组明显增加;通过ELISA方法检测出模型组小鼠血清中IL-6及IL-17表达量较对照组明显升高(P<0.05),治疗组小鼠血清中IL-6及IL-17的表达量较模型组明显下降(P<0.05);提取皮肤微血管片段,通过q-PCR检测到模型组及治疗组小鼠皮肤微血管中β-联蛋白的mRNA基因表达水平较正常组升高;通过Western印迹检测皮肤微血管Wnt5A、β-联蛋白、α-SMA、col1A1的蛋白质表达情况,发现纤维化相关蛋白质α-SMA及col1A1在模型组表达升高,较对照组有统计学差异(P<0.05),治疗组较模型组表达下降(P<0.05),Wnt通路相关蛋白质β-联蛋白及Wnt5A在模型组表达明显升高,较之对照组有统计学差异(P<0.05)。本研究提示,BLM能成功诱导小鼠系统性硬化症皮肤表型,Wnt通路的异常激活参与了BLM诱导的硬皮病小鼠皮肤微血管病变,特异性Wnt通路抑制剂iCRT3可能通过直接或间接的方式下调细胞因子IL-6及IL-17,从而降低BLM诱导的小鼠皮肤微血管中的α-SMA及col1A1蛋白质表达,改善小鼠皮肤微血管病变,干预BLM诱导的小鼠血管病变的进展。

Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway in severe preeclampsia

This study aims to elucidate the mechanisms of Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway in the development of preeclampsia (PE). The mRNA levels of Wnt1, β-catenin, c-myc and cyclinD1 were determined by real-time PCR in the placentas. Moreover, the expression levels of Wnt1, β-catenin, Dickkopf-1 (DKK1) and glycogen synthase kinase 3β (GSK-3β) proteins were detected by Western blot. Immunohistochemistry was used in placental tissue microarray to localize the expression of Wnt1, β-catenin, DKK1 proteins in the placentas of two groups. Compared with the control placentas, the mRNA levels of Wnt1, β-catenin, c-myc and cyclinD1 were decreased in the severe preeclamptic placentas. The Western blot results showed that the expression levels of Wnt1, β-catenin, and GSK-3β proteins were significantly elevated in the control group, while the expression level of DKK1 was significantly decreased. In addition, the staining intensity of Wnt1, β-catenin were weaker in the placentas of the severe PE group while the staining intensity of DKK1 was significantly stronger in the placentas of the severe PE group. Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway may play a significant role in the pathogenesis of PE by regulating the invasion and proliferation of trophoblast.
