Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a chronic inflammation mediated by autoimmune responses. MEG3, a kind of long noncoding RNA (lncRNA), participates in cell proliferation in cancer tissues. However, the correlation between MEG3 and RA is yet unclear. Therefore, to clarify how MEG3 works in RA, we performed a series of experiments using RA samples. We found that MEG3 was downregulated in the fibroblast‐like synoviocytes of RA patients (RA‐FLS), in comparison with healthy subjects. MEG3 was also down‐regulated evidently in lipopolysaccharide (LPS)‐treated chondrocyte. As part of our experiments, MEG3 was overexpressed in chondrocyte by transfection with lentivirus containing sequences encoding MEG3. In addition, in presence of LPS, reductions were identified not only in the cell proliferation, but also in the generation of interleukin‐23 (IL‐23), which, however were reversed in the lentivirus (containing MEG3‐encoding sequences)‐transfected chondrocytes. Up‐regulated MEG3 resulted in an increase the level of Ki67. Moreover, MEG3 was negatively correlated with miR‐141, and miR‐141 was up‐regulated in LPS‐treated chondrocyte. Inhibitory effects of MEG3 overexpression, mentioned above, were partially abolished by overexpressed miR‐141. Further, animal experiment also showed the inhibitory effect of MEG3 in overexpression on the AKT/mTOR signaling pathway. In‐vivoexperiments also showed that cell proliferation was facilitated by MEG3 overexpression with inhibited inflammation. In summary, the protective role of MEG3 in RA was proved to be exerted by the increase in the rate of proliferation, which might correlate to the regulatory role of miR‐141 and AKT/mTOR signal pathway, suggesting that MEG3 holds great promise as a therapeutic strategy for RA. 相似文献

Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is one of the common malignant human tumors with high morbidity worldwide. Aberrant activation of the oncogenic phosphoinositide 3-kinase/protein kinase B/mammalian target of rapamycin (PI3K/AKT/mTOR) signaling is related to clinicopathological features of HCC. Emerging data revealed that microRNAs (miRNAs) have prominent implications for regulating cellular proliferation, differentiation, apoptosis, and metabolism through targeting the PI3K/AKT/mTOR signaling axis. The recognition of the crucial role of miRNAs in hepatocarcinogenesis represents a promising area to identify novel anticancer therapeutics for HCC. The present study summarizes the major findings about the regulatory role of miRNAs in the PI3K/AKT/mTOR pathway in the pathogenesis of HCC. 相似文献

Kisspeptin1 (KISS1) is a tumor metastatic suppressor, and its increased expression is validated in human placenta trophoblast cells. Nonetheless, the actions of KISS1 in hydrogen peroxide (H2O2)‐impaired human trophoblast HTR8 cells still remain imprecise. This research aims to uncover whether KISS1 can mitigate H2O2‐triggered cell injury. HTR8 cells were pretreated with 250 μM H2O2 for 4 hours; the autophagic markers (Beclin‐1 and LC3B), cell viability, invasion and apoptosis were appraised. Real‐time quantitative polymerase chain reaction and Western blot trials were enforced for the valuation of KISS1 mRNA and protein levels. After si‐KISS1 transfection and 3‐MA manipulation, the aforesaid biological processes were reassessed for ascertaining the influences of repressed KISS1 in H2O2‐impaired HTR8 cells. Phosphoinositide 3‐kinase/protein kinase B/mammalian target of rapamycin (PI3K/AKT/mTOR) pathway was eventually estimated. H2O2 enhanced Beclin‐1 and LC3B expression, restricted cell viability, and invasion, and meanwhile caused apoptosis. The elevation of KISS1 evoked by H2O2 was observed in HTR8 cells. In addition, silencing KISS1 was distinctly annulled the function of H2O2 in HTR8 cells. Eventually, we observed that the repression of KISS1 triggered the activation of PI3K/AKT/mTOR in HTR8 cells under H2O2 management. The diverting research unveiled that KISS1 repression eased H2O2‐caused HTR8 cells injury via mediating PI3K/AKT/mTOR pathway. 相似文献

Introduction
Cholangiocarcinoma (CCA) is an aggressive disease with limited effective treatment options. The PI3K/Akt/mTOR pathway represents an attractive therapeutic target due to its frequent dysregulation in CCA. MK2206, an allosteric Akt inhibitor, has been shown to reduce cellular proliferation in other cancers. We hypothesized that MK2206 mediated inhibition of Akt would impact CCA cellular viability.Study methods
Post treatment with MK2206 (0-2 μM), cellular viability was assessed in two human CCA cell lines—CCLP-1 and SG231—using an MTT assay. Lysates from the MK2206 treated CCA cells were then examined for apoptotic marker expression levels using Western blot analysis. Additionally, the effect on cellular proliferation of MK2206 treatment on survivin depleted cells was determined.Results
CCLP-1 and SG231 viability was significantly reduced at MK2206 concentrations of 0.5, 1, and 2 μM by approximately 44%, 53%, and 64% (CCLP-1; p = 0.01) and 32%, 32%, and 42% (SG231; p < 0.00005) respectively. Western analysis revealed a decrease in AKTSer473, while AKTThr308 expression was unchanged. In addition, cleaved PARP as well as survivin expression increased while pro-caspase 3 and 9 levels decreased with treatment. Depletion of survivin in CCLP-1 cells resulted in apoptosis as evidenced by increased cleaved PARP. In addition, survivin siRNA further enhanced the antitumor activity of MK2206.Conclusions
This study demonstrates that by blocking phosphorylation of Akt at serine473, CCA cellular growth is reduced. The growth suppression appears to be mediated via apoptosis. Importantly, combination of survivin siRNA transfection and MK2206 treatment significantly decreased cell viability. 相似文献6.

Tumor suppressor long noncoding RNA maternally expressed gene 3 (lncRNA MEG3) exists in various cancers. Nonetheless, the functions of lncRNA MEG3 in choriocarcinoma (CC) are still not well studied. We explored the effects of lncRNA MEG3 on human CC JEG-3 and BeWo cells. lncRNA MEG3 was overexpressed, and the effects of lncRNA MEG3 on cell viability, proliferation, apoptosis, migration, and invasion were assessed by the cell counting kit-8 assay, western blot analysis, flow cytometry (plus western blot analysis), and transwell assay (plus western blot analysis), respectively. Then, the expression level of miR-211 was detected by real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction. After that, the effects of dysregulated microRNA-211 (miR-211) with overexpressing lncRNA MEG3 on JEG-3 cells and BeWo cells were testified. Western blot analysis was used to study the involvements of the signaling pathways in the lncRNA MEG3-associated modulation. We found that lncRNA MEG3 upregulation reduced cell viability, inhibited proliferation, migration and invasion, and promoted apoptosis. Expression of miR-211 was upregulated after lncRNA MEG3 overexpression. Effects of lncRNA MEG3 overexpression were augmented by miR-211 overexpression, while they were declined by miR-211 silencing. Phosphorylated levels of PI3K, AKT, and AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) were decreased by lncRNA MEG3 overexpression via regulation of miR-211. To sum up, lncRNA MEG3 could repress proliferation, migration and invasion, and promote apoptosis of JEG-3 and BeWo cells through upregulating miR-211. The PI3K/AKT and AMPK pathways were inhibited by lncRNA MEG3 overexpression via regulation of miR-211. 相似文献

Oridonin, an active diterpenoid isolated from Rabdosia rubescens, has been reported for its antitumor activity on several cancers. However, its effect on human esophageal cancer remains unclear. In this study, we demonstrated that oridonin could inhibit the growth of human esophageal cancer cells both in vitro and in vivo. Oridonin not only suppressed the proliferation, but also induced cell cycle arrest and mitochondrial-mediated apoptosis in KYSE-30, KYSE-150, and EC9706 cells with dose-dependent manner. Further mechanism studies revealed that oridonin led cell cycle arrest in esophageal cancer cells via downregulating cell cycle-related proteins, such as cyclin B1 and CDK2, while upregulating p53 and p21. Oridonin also increased proapoptotic protein Bax and reduced antiapoptotic protein Bcl-2, as well as the increased expression of cleaved caspase-3, -8, and -9. In addition, oridonin treatment could significantly inhibit the PI3K/Akt/mTOR and Ras/Raf signaling pathway. In vivo results further demonstrated that oridonin treatment markedly inhibited tumor growth in the esophageal cancer xenograft mice model. Taken together, these results suggest that oridonin may be a potential anticancer agent for the treatment of esophageal cancer. 相似文献

A series of novel derivatives of isaindigotone, which comes from the root of isaits indinatca Fort, were synthesised (Compound 1–26). Four human gastrointestinal cancer cells (HCT116, PANC-1, SMMC-7721, and AGS) were employed to evaluate the anti-proliferative activity. Among them, Compound 6 displayed the most effective inhibitory activity on AGS cells with an IC50 (50% inhibitory concentration) value of 2.2 μM. The potential mechanism study suggested that Compound 6 induced apoptosis in AGS cells. The collapse of mitochondrial membrane potential (MMP) in AGS cells was proved. In docking analysis, good affinity interaction between Compound 6 and AKT1 was discovered. Treatment of AGS cells with Compound 6 also resulted in significant suppression of PI3K/AKT/mTOR signal pathway. The collapse of MMP and suppression of PI3K/AKT/mTOR signal pathway may be responsible for induction of apoptosis. This derivative Compound 6 could be useful as an underlying anti-tumour agent for treatment of gastric cancer. 相似文献

The serine/threonine kinase AKT is generally accepted as a promising anticancer therapeutic target. However, the relief of feedback inhibition and enhancement of other survival pathways often attenuate the anticancer effects of AKT inhibitors. These compensatory mechanisms are very complicated and remain poorly understood. In the present study, we found a novel 2-pyrimidyl-5-amidothiazole compound, DC120, as an ATP competitive AKT kinase inhibitor that suppressed proliferation and induced apoptosis in liver cancer cells both in vitro and in vivo. DC120 blocked the phosphorylation of downstream molecules in the AKT signal pathway in dose- and time-dependent manners both in vitro and in vivo. However, unexpectedly, DC120 activated mammalian target of rapamycin complex 1 (mTORC1) pathway that was suggested by increased phosphorylation of 70KD ribosomal protein S6 kinase (P70S6K) and eukaryotic translation initiation factor 4E binding protein 1 (4E-BP1). The activated mTORC1 signal was because of increase of intracellular Ca2+ via Ca2+/calmodulin (CaM)/ signaling to human vacuolar protein sorting 34 (hVps34) upon AKT inhibition. Meanwhile, DC120 attenuated the inhibitory effect of AKT on CRAF by decreasing phosphorylation of CRAF at Ser259 and thus activated the mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) pathway. The activation of the mTORC1 and MAPK pathways by DC120 was not mutually dependent, and the combination of DC120 with mTORC1 inhibitor and/or MEK inhibitor induced significant apoptosis and growth inhibition both in vitro and in vivo. Taken together, the combination of AKT, mTORC1 and/or MEK inhibitors would be a promising therapeutic strategy for liver cancer treatment. 相似文献

This study investigated that dieckol (DKL), a natural drug, inhibits colon cancer cell proliferation and migration by inhibiting phosphoinositide-3-kinase (PI3K), protein kinase B (AKT), and mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) phosphorylation in HCT-116 cells. The cells were treated with DKL in various concentrations (32 and 50 μM) for 24 h and then analyzed for various experiments. MTT (tetrazolium bromide) and crystal violet assay investigated DKL-mediated cytotoxicity. Dichlorodihydrofluorescein diacetate staining was used to assess the reactive oxygen species (ROS) measurement, and apoptotic changes were studied by dual acridine orange and ethidium bromide staining. Protein expression of cell survival, cell cycle, proliferation, and apoptosis protein was evaluated by western blot analysis. Results indicated that DKL produces significant cytotoxicity in HCT-116, and the half-maximal inhibitory concentration was found to be 32 μM for 24-h incubation. Moreover, effective production of ROS and enhanced apoptotic signs were observed upon DKL treatment in HCT-116. DKL induces the expression of phosphorylated PI3K, AKT, and mToR-associated enhanced expression of cyclin-D1, proliferating cell nuclear antigen, cyclin-dependent kinase (CDK)-4, CDK-6, and Bcl-2 in HCT-116. In addition, proapoptotic proteins such as Bax, caspase-9, and caspase-3 were significantly enhanced by DKL treatment in HCT-116. Hence, DKL has been considered a chemotherapeutic drug by impeding the expression of PI3K-, AKT-, and mTOR-mediated inhibition of proliferation and cell cycle-regulating proteins. 相似文献

Osteoarthritis (OA) is a degenerative disease of the cartilage prevalent in the middle-aged and elderly demographic. Direct transplantation of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) or stem cell-derived chondrocytes into the damaged cartilage is a promising therapeutic strategy for OA, but is limited by the poor survival and in situ stability of the chondrocytes. Autophagy is a unique catabolic pathway conserved across eukaryotes that maintains cellular homeostasis, recycles damaged proteins and organelles, and promotes survival. The aim of this study was to determine the role of the proautophagic γ-aminobutyric acid receptor-associated protein (GABARAP) on the therapeutic effects of BMSCs-derived chondrocytes in a rat model of OA, and elucidate the underlying mechanisms. Anterior cruciate ligament transection (ACLT) was performed in Sprague–Dawley rats to simulate OA, and the animals were injected weekly with recombinant human His6-GABARAP protein, BMSCs-derived differentiated chondrocytes (DCs) or their combination directly into the knee cartilage. The regenerative effects of GABARAP and/or DCs were determined in term of International Cartilage Repair Society scores and cartilage thickness. The combination treatment of DCs and GABARAP significantly increased the levels of the ECM proteins Col II and SOX9, indicating formation of hyaline-like cartilage, and decreased chondrocyte apoptosis and inflammation. DCs + GABARAP treatment also upregulated the mediators of the autophagy pathway and suppressed the PI3K/AKT/mTOR pathway, indicating a mechanistic basis of its therapeutic action. 相似文献

The incidence of cervical cancer is increasing annually worldwide. Low-dose naltrexone (LDN) has been reported to delay tumor progression, but the mechanism remains unclear. Here, we found that low-dose naltrexone could upregulate the expression of OGFr. Additionally, LDN could suppress the abilities of colony formation, migration and invasion in cervical cancer cells. LDN could also inhibit cervical cancer progression in mice model. Moreover, LDN indirectly reduced the expressions of PI3K, pAKT and mTOR in vitro and in vivo. Therefore, LDN may be considered a potential treatment option for cervical cancer. 相似文献

Colorectal cancer (CRC) is one of the most frequent cancer in numerous of countries worldwidely. The initiation and progression of CRC is an extremely complex process, and have been suggested a correlation with Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs). Our results showed that lncRNA-422(ENST00000415820) significantly downregulated in the tissues and serum of CRC patients, and is closely associated with the poor prognosis. Then gain or loss of lncRNA-422 models in SW480 and SW620cells were established. The results showed that lncRNA-422 overexpression inhibited cell proliferation, migration, and invasion. Knockdown of lncRNA-422 promoted tumorigensis. Western blot and qRT-PCR were performed to examine the activity of the PI3K/AKT/mTOR pathway in CRC cells after alternation of lncRNA-422. Results showed that lncRNA-422 acts as a tumor suppressor by PI3K/AKT/mTOR pathway in CRC. 相似文献

Abamectin (ABA) as one of the worldwide used compounds in agriculture has raised safety concerns on nontarget organism toxicity. However, the study of male reproductive system damage caused by ABA remains unclear. Our aim is to investigate the effect of ABA‐induced cytotoxicity in TM3 Leydig cells and their underlying mechanisms. ABA inhibits TM3 cell viability and proliferation via cell cycle arrested in the G0/G1 phase. In addition, ABA‐induced mitochondrial depolarization leads to an imbalance in Bcl‐2 family expression, causing caspase‐dependent apoptosis in TM3 cells. The increased ratio of cells expression LC3 protein and LC3‐II to LC3‐I indicated the activation of autophagy potentially. Further experiments revealed ABA treatment reduced phosphatidylinositol 3‐kinase (PI3K), protein kinase B (AKT) phosphorylation, and mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) phosphorylation. Pretreatment with a PI3K/AKT inhibitor, LY294002, mimicked the ABA‐mediated effects on cytotoxicity. Pretreatment with a PI3K/AKT agonist, insulin‐like growth factor‐1, reversed the effects of ABA. ABA caused the accumulation of intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS) by increased intensity of the ROS indicator. However, N‐acetylcysteine as ROS scavengers inhibited ABA‐induced apoptosis and autophagy and reversed these ABA‐mediated effects on PI3K/AKT/mTOR pathway. On the basis of the above results, it is suggested that ABA exposure induces apoptosis and autophagy in TM3 cells by ROS accumulation to mediate PI3K/AKT/mTOR signaling pathway suppression. 相似文献
