植物核糖体应激响应机制研究进展

核仁是真核细胞中重要的核结构, 核糖体发生最初在核仁中进行, 该过程涉及一系列复杂的反应, 需要许多核仁相关因子参与。核糖体生物发生出现异常通常引起核仁结构紊乱, 并导致细胞周期阻滞、细胞衰老甚至凋亡。核糖体应激响应机制在哺乳动物细胞中研究得较为深入, 但在植物细胞中尚不明晰。尽管如此, 人们逐渐发现某些植物特有的NAC转录因子家族成员在植物细胞中可能参与包括核糖体应激在内的多种胞内应激响应过程。此外, 前期研究发现生长素系统与核糖体生物合成之间存在一种相互协调机制来调控植物发育。该文结合哺乳动物细胞中已知的核糖体应激响应通路, 探讨植物细胞潜在的核糖体应激机制。     

Knockdown of RPL34 inhibits the proliferation and migration of glioma cells through the inactivation of JAK/STAT3 signaling pathway

Ribosomal protein L34 (RPL34), belonging to the L34E family of ribosomal proteins, was reported to be dysregulated in several types of cancers and plays important roles in tumor progression. However, the expression and roles of RPL34 in human glioma remain largely unknown. Thus, the objective of this study was to investigate the expression and role of RPL34 in glioma. We report here that RPL34 is highly expressed in human glioma tissues and cell lines. Knockdown of RPL34 markedly inhibited the proliferation, migration, and invasion, as well as prevented the epithelial-mesenchymal transition phenotype in glioma cells. Further, mechanistic analysis showed that knockdown of RPL34 significantly downregulated the levels of p-JAK and p-STAT3 in glioma cells. Taken together, our findings indicated that knockdown of RPL34 inhibits the proliferation and migration of glioma cells through the inactivation of JAK/STAT3 signaling pathway. Thus, RPL34 may serve as a potential therapeutic target for the treatment of glioma.
