PDGF-BB (Platelet-derived growth factor BB) and TGF-beta1(transforming growth factor beta1) are important growth factors in the modulation of vascular smooth muscle cell (VSMC) proliferation and PCNA (proliferating cell nuclear antigen) expression in VSMCs. PCNA expresses at a high level in proliferating cells. The present study aims to assess the effects of PDGF-BB-induced overexpression of TGF-beta1 on PCNA in VSMCs. The downstream proteins of the TGF-beta signalling system in VSMCs, including TGF-beta type I receptor (ALK-5 in VSMCs), Smurf2, Smad2, pSmad2/3, Smad4, and Smad7, were also investigated. Our results revealed that PDGF-BB significantly increased the expressions of TGF-beta1 and PCNA, and the increase in PCNA can be partially inhibited by neutralizing anti-TGF-beta1 antibody. Furthermore, PDGF-BB increased the expression of ALK-5, Smurf2, pSmad2/3, and Smad4, but lowered the levels of Smad2 and Smad7; these alterations were partially restored by neutralizing anti-TGF-beta1 antibody. These findings suggest that PDGF-BB promotes PCNA expression in VSMCs partially through TGF-beta1 overexpression, and that the TGF-beta signalling system involves the molecular mechanism of PDGF-BB in VSMCs. 相似文献

The N-terminal 24 amino acids of the p55 gamma regulatory subunit of phosphoinositide 3-kinase binds Rb and induces cell cycle arrest 总被引:5,自引:0,他引:5 下载免费PDF全文
Although phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI 3-kinase) is essential for cell cycle progression, the molecular mechanisms that regulate its diverse biological effects are poorly understood. We demonstrate here that Rb, a key regulator of cell cycle progression, associates with p55 kDa (p55alpha and p55gamma) regulatory subunits of PI 3-kinase in vivo and in vitro. Both confocal microscopy and biochemical analysis demonstrated the presence of p55gamma in the nucleus. The 24-amino-acid N-terminal end of p55gamma, which is unique among PI 3-kinase regulatory subunits, was sufficient to bind Rb. Addition of serum or growth factors to quiescent cells triggered the dissociation of Rb from p55. Ectopic expression of the 24-amino-acid N-terminal end of p55gamma inhibited cell cycle progression, as evidenced by induction of cell growth arrest at the G0/G1 phase, inhibition of DNA synthesis, inhibition of cyclin D and cyclin E promoter activity, and changes in the expression of cell cycle-related proteins. The inhibitory effects of the N-terminal end of p55gamma on cell cycle progression depended on the presence of functional Rb. These data demonstrate for the first time an association of p55gamma with Rb and show that modification of this association can lead to cell cycle arrest. 相似文献

New therapeutic approaches are being developed based on the findings that several genetic abnormalities underlying non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) could influence chemosensitivity. In this study, we assessed whether polymorphisms in genes of nucleotide excision repair (NER) pathway, including ERCC5, ERCC6, MMS19L, CCNH, XPC, RRM1, can affect the tolerability of platinum-based chemotherapy in NSCLC patients. We used AllGloTM probe to assess genotyping and polymorphisms in 388 stage IIIB and IV NSCLC patients treated with platinum-based chemotherapy. MMS19L might be associated with the adverse events of chemotherapy in NSCLC, especially for all grade leucopenia (P = 0.020), all grade jaundice (P = 0.037) and all grade creatinine increasing (P = 0.013). In terms of grade 3/4 adverse events, MMS19L was related with total grade 3/4 adverse events (P = 0.024) and grade 3/4 thrombocytopenia (P = 0.035), while RRM1 was related with total grade 3/4 adverse events (P = 0.047) and grade 3/4 vomiting (P = 0.046). ERCC5 was related with more infection (P = 0.017). We found that some SNPs in NER pathway genes were correlated with toxicity treated with double chemotherapy in advanced NSCLC patients, especially for SNPs of MMS19L, RRM1 and ERCC5. 相似文献

Long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) and microRNAs (miRNAs) modulate gene expression programs in physiology and disease. Here, we report a noncoding RNA regulatory network that modulates myoblast fusion into multinucleated myotubes, a process that occurs during muscle development and muscle regeneration after injury. In early stages of human myogenesis, the levels of lncRNA OIP5-AS1 increased, while the levels of miR-7 decreased. Moreover, OIP5-AS1 bound and induced miR-7 decay via target RNA-directed miRNA decay; accordingly, loss of OIP5-AS1 attenuated, while antagonizing miR-7 accelerated, myotube formation. We found that the OIP5-AS1-mediated miR-7 degradation promoted myoblast fusion, as it derepressed the miR-7 target MYMX mRNA, which encodes the fusogenic protein myomixer (MYMX). Remarkably, an oligonucleotide site blocker interfered with the OIP5-AS1-directed miR-7 degradation, allowing miR-7 to accumulate, lowering MYMX production and suppressing myotube formation. These results highlight a mechanism whereby lncRNA OIP5-AS1-mediated miR-7 decay promotes myotube formation by stimulating a myogenic fusion program. 相似文献

Homologous recombination (HR) is essential for maintaining genome integrity and variability. To orchestrate HR in the context of chromatin is a challenge, both in terms of DNA accessibility and restoration of chromatin organization after DNA repair. Histone chaperones function in nucleosome assembly/disassembly and could play a role in HR. Here, we show that the NUCLEOSOME ASSEMBLY PROTEIN1 (NAP1) family histone chaperones are required for somatic HR in Arabidopsis thaliana. Depletion of either the NAP1 group or NAP1-RELATED PROTEIN (NRP) group proteins caused a reduction in HR in plants under normal growth conditions as well as under a wide range of genotoxic or abiotic stresses. This contrasts with the hyperrecombinogenic phenotype caused by the depletion of the CHROMATIN ASSEMBLY FACTOR-1 (CAF-1) histone chaperone. Furthermore, we show that the hyperrecombinogenic phenotype caused by CAF-1 depletion relies on NRP1 and NRP2, but the telomere shortening phenotype does not. Our analysis of DNA lesions, H3K56 acetylation, and expression of DNA repair genes argues for a role of NAP1 family histone chaperones in nucleosome disassembly/reassembly during HR. Our study highlights distinct functions for different families of histone chaperones in the maintenance of genome stability and establishes a crucial function for NAP1 family histone chaperones in somatic HR. 相似文献
