Melanoma is a kind of skin cancer that is begun by the alteration of melanocytes. miRNAs are small non-coding RNA molecules that regulate a variety of biological processes. KISS1, the metastasis-suppressor gene, encodes kisspeptins which inhibits migration and proliferation of cancers. This study was aimed to determine the role of Let-7i and KISS1 in melanoma cell migration and proliferation. At first, the expression of Let-7i and KISS1 was determined in patients with melanoma. In the in vitro part of the study, Let-7i mimics were transfected and the impact of its restoration on target gene expression, proliferation, migration and apoptosis of SK-MEL-3 melanoma cell line was assessed by real-time PCR and Western blotting, MTT assay, wound-healing assay and flow cytometry, respectively. Besides, KISS1 inhibitor siRNA alone and along with Let-7i was transfected to determine their probable correlation. The results revealed that either Let-7i or KISS1 were down-regulated in patients with melanoma. The results obtained from the in vitro part of the study revealed that restoration of Let-7i reduced the expression of metastasis- and proliferation-related target genes. Moreover, it was revealed that up-regulation of Let-7i attenuated migration and proliferation capability of SK-MEL-3 cells. Besides, it was demonstrated that Let-7i restoration induced apoptosis in melanoma cells. More importantly, the KISS1 inhibitor caused a prominent cell migration and proliferation, attenuated by Let-7i re-expression. To sum up, the present study revealed the impressive role of Let-7i restoration along with its correlation with KISS1 on melanoma carcinogenicity which may be applicable in future in vivo studies. 相似文献

Background
Novel vaccination approaches are needed to prevent leishmaniasis. Live attenuated vaccines are the gold standard for protection against intracellular pathogens such as Leishmania and there have been new developments in this field. The nonpathogenic to humans lizard protozoan parasite, Leishmania (L) tarentolae, has been used effectively as a vaccine platform against visceral leishmaniasis in experimental animal models. Correspondingly, pre-exposure to sand fly saliva or immunization with a salivary protein has been shown to protect mice against cutaneous leishmaniasis.Methodology/Principal Findings
Here, we tested the efficacy of a novel combination of established protective parasite antigens expressed by L. tarentolae together with a sand fly salivary antigen as a vaccine strategy against L. major infection. The immunogenicity and protective efficacy of different DNA/Live and Live/Live prime-boost vaccination modalities with live recombinant L. tarentolae stably expressing cysteine proteinases (type I and II, CPA/CPB) and PpSP15, an immunogenic salivary protein from Phlebotomus papatasi, a natural vector of L. major, were tested both in susceptible BALB/c and resistant C57BL/6 mice. Both humoral and cellular immune responses were assessed before challenge and at 3 and 10 weeks after Leishmania infection. In both strains of mice, the strongest protective effect was observed when priming with PpSP15 DNA and boosting with PpSP15 DNA and live recombinant L. tarentolae stably expressing cysteine proteinase genes.Conclusion/Significance
The present study is the first to use a combination of recombinant L. tarentolae with a sand fly salivary antigen (PpSP15) and represents a novel promising vaccination approach against leishmaniasis. 相似文献93.

Responses of plants to salinity stress and the development of salt tolerance are extremely complex. Proteomics is a powerful
technique to identify proteins associated with a particular environmental or developmental signal. We employed a proteomic
approach to further understand the mechanism of plant responses to salinity in a salt-tolerant (Afzal) and a salt-sensitive
(Line 527) genotype of barley. At the 4-leaf stage, plants were exposed to 0 (control) or 300 mM NaCl. Salt treatment was
maintained for 3 weeks. Total proteins of leaf 4 were extracted and separated by two-dimensional gel electrophoresis. More
than 500 protein spots were reproducibly detected. Of these, 44 spots showed significant changes to salt treatment compared
to the control: 43 spots were upregulated and 1 spot was downregulated. Using MALDI-TOF-TOF MS, we identified 44 cellular
proteins have been identified, which represented 18 different proteins and were classified into seven categories and a group
with unknown biological function. These proteins were involved in various many cellular functions. Up regulation of proteins
which involved in reactive oxygen species scavenging, signal transduction, protein processing and cell wall may increase plant
adaptation to salt stress. The upregulation of the three of four antioxidant proteins (thioredoxin, methionine sulfoxide reductase
and dehydroascorbate reductase) in susceptible genotype Line 527 suggesting a different tolerance mechanism (such as tissue
tolerance) to tolerate a salinity condition in comparison with the salt sensitive genotype. 相似文献

Generation of patient specific stem cells is among the ultimate goals in regenerative medicine. Such a cell needs to be functional when it transplants. Interaction between the matrix proteins and integrin adjust many cells' function such as adhesion, migration, cell cycle and self renewal in stem cells. In this study, NIH3T3 cells were dedifferentiated by mouse Embryonic Stem Cell (mESC) extract. The expression of pluripotency markers as well as a2, a5 and a6 integrin subunits were determined. NIH3T3 cells treated with mESC extract showed noticeable changes in cell morphology as early as day 2 post-treatment forming colonies similar to typical mESC morphology by day 8, after three passages. Alkaline phosphatase (ALP) assay and immunocytochemistry staining were performed for the induced reprogrammed cells. The results indicated that these colonies showed the ALP activity and they express Sox2 and Nanog. RT-PCR revealed that the colonies also express Oct3/4. NIH3T3 cells, ESC and reprogrammed cells expressed a2 integrin. a5 integrin expression was greatest in reprogrammed cells followed by the expression of this integrin in NIH3T3 which in turn was more than in ESC. a6A integrin was expressed in NIH3T3 cells while a6B integrin was expressed in ESC and in very low quantity was expressed in reprogrammed cells. These data provide evidence for both the generation of ES like cells from differentiated somatic cells and the expression profile of integrins after de-differentiation by mESC extract. 相似文献

The conodont fauna from the Devonian-Carboniferous Shahmirzad section, located in the Central Alborz Mountains (North Iran), have been studied mainly for biostratigraphic purposes. Some levels were barren of conodonts, whereas others yielded a not very abundant, but quite differentiated fauna. No conodonts have been found from the mainly terrigenous and shaly Geirud Formation, whereas representative of genera Bispathodus, Clydagnathus, Gnathodus, Hindeodus, Mehlina, Polygnathus, Protognathodus, Pseudopolygnathus and Siphonodella have been collected from the mainly calcareous overlaying Mobarak Formation. The fauna allowed to discriminate five biointervals, from the sulcata Zone to a “Lower typicus - anchoralis-latus interval” in the central part of the section, while the lower and upper parts cannot be zoned on the basis of conodonts. This paper is the first report on lowermost Carboniferous conodonts from the Mobarak Formation in central Alborz. 相似文献

Our knowledge about a link between buprenorphine and hepatotoxicity is controversial. This study evaluated the effects of buprenorphine on the liver of young, adult, and aged rats. For this reason, young, adult, and aged rats received intraperitoneally 0.25, 0.5, and 1 mg/kg buprenorphine for 30 days. The present results revealed that the normal aging was associated with a significant decrease in the activities of antioxidant enzymes, and an increase in the liver lipid peroxidation, serum aspartate aminotransferase (AST), alanine aminotransferase (ALT), and lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) activities in the aged rats. This study also demonstrated that buprenorphine led to a significant increase in the serum activities of ALT, AST, and LDH as well as liver lipid peroxidation content with a decrease in the antioxidant enzymes in the liver of buprenorphine‐treated aged rat versus the aged matched control animals. In conclusion, the present results demonstrate that buprenorphine deteriorated oxidative damage in the aged livers. 相似文献

Crocetin, the major carotenoid in saffron, exhibits potent anticancer effects. However, the antileukemic effects of crocetin are still unclear, especially in primary acute promyelocytic leukemia (APL) cells. In the current study, the potential antipromyelocytic leukemia activity of crocetin and the underlying molecular mechanisms were investigated. Crocetin (100 µM), like standard anti-APL drugs, all-trans retinoic acid (ATRA, 10 µM) and As2O 3 (arsenic trioxide, 50 µM), significantly inhibited proliferation and induced apoptosis in primary APL cells, as well as NB4 and HL60 cells. The effect was associated with the decreased expressions of prosurvival genes Akt and BCL2, the multidrug resistance (MDR) proteins, ABCB1 and ABCC1 and the inhibition of tyrosyl-DNA phosphodiesterase 1 (TDP1), while the expressions of proapoptotic genes CASP3, CASP9, and BAX/BCL2 ratio were significantly increased. In contrast, crocetin at relatively low concentration (10 µM), like ATRA (1 µM) and As 2O 3 (0.5 µM), induced differentiation of leukemic cells toward granulocytic pattern, and increased the number of differentiated cells expressing CD11b and CD14, while the number of the immature cells expressing CD34 or CD33 was decreased. Furthermore, crocetin suppressed the expression of clinical marker promyelocytic leukemia/retinoic acid receptor-α ( PML/RARα) in NB4 and primary APL cells, and reduced the expression of histone deacetylase 1 ( HDAC1) in all leukemic cells. The results suggested that crocetin can be considered as a candidate for future preclinical and clinical trials of complementary APL treatment. 相似文献

Mechanical ventilation with hyperoxia is necessary to treat critically ill patients. However, prolonged exposure to hyperoxia leads to the generation of excessive reactive oxygen species (ROS), which can cause acute inflammatory lung injury. One of the major effects of hyperoxia is the injury and death of pulmonary epithelium, which is accompanied by increased levels of pulmonary proinflammatory cytokines and excessive leukocyte infiltration. A thorough understanding of the signaling pathways leading to pulmonary epithelial cell injury/death may provide some insights into the pathogenesis of hyperoxia-induced acute inflammatory lung injury. This review focuses on epithelial responses to hyperoxia and some of the major factors regulating pathways to epithelial cell injury/death, and proinflammatory responses on exposure to hyperoxia. We discuss in detail some of the most interesting players, such as NF-kappaB, that can modulate both proinflammatory responses and cell injury/death of lung epithelial cells. A better appreciation for the functions of these factors will no doubt help us to delineate the pathways to hyperoxic cell death and proinflammatory responses. 相似文献
