Abnormal regulation of Ca2+ mediates tumorigenesis and Ca2+ channels are reportedly deregulated in cancers, indicating that regulating Ca2+ signaling in cancer cells is considered as a promising strategy to treat cancer. However, little is known regarding the mechanism by which Ca2+ affects cancer cell death. Here, we show that 20-O-β-d-glucopyranosyl-20(S)-protopanaxadiol (20-GPPD), a metabolite of ginseng saponin, causes apoptosis of colon cancer cells through the induction of cytoplasmic Ca2+. 20-GPPD decreased cell viability, increased annexin V-positive early apoptosis and induced sub-G1 accumulation and nuclear condensation of CT-26 murine colon cancer cells. Although 20-GPPD-induced activation of AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) played a key role in the apoptotic death of CT-26 cells, LKB1, a well-known upstream kinase of AMPK, was not involved in this activation. To identify the upstream target of 20-GPPD for activating AMPK, we examined the effect of Ca2+ on apoptosis of CT-26 cells. A calcium chelator recovered 20-GPPD-induced AMPK phosphorylation and CT-26 cell death. Confocal microscopy showed that 20-GPPD increased Ca2+ entry into CT-26 cells, whereas a transient receptor potential canonical (TRPC) blocker suppressed Ca2+ entry. When cells were treated with a TRPC blocker plus an endoplasmic reticulum (ER) calcium blocker, 20-GPPD-induced calcium influx was completely inhibited, suggesting that the ER calcium store, as well as TRPC, was involved. In vivo mouse CT-26 allografts showed that 20-GPPD significantly suppressed tumor growth, volume and weight in a dose-dependent manner. Collectively, 20-GPPD exerts potent anticarcinogenic effects on colon carcinogenesis by increasing Ca2+ influx, mainly through TRPC channels, and by targeting AMPK. 相似文献

Poly(4-vinylimidazole) (P4V) was obtained by free radical polymerization of 4-vinylimidazole (4V) prepared by decarboxylation of urocanic acid. P4V formed a complex with DNA that exhibited higher transfection effiency on Hela cells than polyethylenimine (PEI), through the proton sponge mechanism of the imidazole groups in the side chain of the P4V, and low cell toxicity. 相似文献

We designed a novel cell-permeable peptide, LDP12, from the human papillomavirus L1 capsid protein. In this work, we examined
the mechanism of cellular entry by LDP12 and its efficacy as a potential carrier of protein cargoes. The 12-mer peptide linked
to FITC freely enters various types of mammalian cells within a few minutes via an endocytic pathway, as its entry is blocked
at a low temperature. Several inhibitors which block certain pathway of endocytosis were used to determine which pathway is
utilized by LDP12. We found that methyl-β-cyclodextrin specifically blocks LDP12 entry, suggesting that lipid raft-mediated
pathway is involved. Intraluminal injection of LDP12-FITC into the mouse uterus shows that this peptide could penetrate the
uterine tissue and stay as long as 24 h. Furthermore, LDP12 with a cysteamide group at the C-terminus successfully carries
purified protein cargoes into mammalian cells including rat cortical neurons. Collectively, LDP12 could be utilized as a method
of protein therapeutics targeting various mammalian cell types. 相似文献

Fasting glucose level is the most basic and widely used indicator of diabetes. Several genome wide association studies have reported that the gene encoding melatonin receptor 1B (MTNR1B) exerts a major effect on serum fasting glucose levels. We tested for the association between single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in the MTNR1B gene and fasting glucose levels in a Korean population consisting of 8,229 subjects taken from two community-based cohorts. The mean age of the subjects in the study population was 51.9 years. For this study, we selected 363 SNPs located in the MTNR1B gene, which is located on chromosome 11. Multivariate linear regression models were used to test for genotypic effects on fasting glucose levels while adjusting for age and sex under an additive model. The MTNR1B SNP most highly associated with fasting glucose levels was rs10830962 (p=1.95×10?5), followed by rs3847554 (p=3.16×10?4). Replication of these initial findings is important to better understand the correlation between MTNR1B variations and their effects, especially in Asian populations. 相似文献

Nuruk, which is a natural inoculator and source of amylolytic enzymes, is used in Korean traditional rice wine. A methanol extract of nuruk (NE) attenuated lipopolysaccharide (LPS)- induced nitrite and interleukin (IL)-6 in RAW 264.7 cells. Both the n-hexane and water fractions from NE (MEH and MW, respectively) inhibited the production of nitrite and IL-6 in RAW 264.7 cells. MEH and MW also inhibited the LPS-induced inducible nitric oxide synthase expression. Further, and MEH protected against the LPS-induced activation of p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase. Together, these results indicate that nuruk may contribute to the anti-inflammatory and cancer-preventive effects of Korean traditional rice wine. 相似文献

Studies have shown that a major metabolite of the red ginseng ginsenoside Rb1, called 20-O-β-D-glucopyranosyl-20(S)-protopanaxadiol (GPD), exhibits anticancer properties. However, the chemotherapeutic effects and molecular mechanisms behind GPD action in human melanoma have not been previously investigated. Here we report the anticancer activity of GPD and its mechanism of action in melanoma cells. GPD, but not its parent compound Rb1, inhibited melanoma cell proliferation in a dose-dependent manner. Further investigation revealed that GPD treatment achieved this inhibition through the induction of autophagy and apoptosis, while Rb1 failed to show significant effect at the same concentrations. The inhibitory effect of GPD appears to be mediated through the induction of AMPK and the subsequent attenuation of mTOR phosphorylation. In addition, GPD activated c-Jun by inducing JNK phosphorylation. Our findings suggest that GPD suppresses melanoma growth by inducing autophagic cell death and apoptosis via AMPK/JNK pathway activation. GPD therefore has the potential to be developed as a chemotherapeutic agent for the treatment of human melanoma. 相似文献

The objective of this study was to examine the role of body mass and subcutaneous fat in injury severity and pattern sustained by overweight drivers. Finite element models were created to represent the geometry and properties of subcutaneous adipose tissue in the torso with data obtained from reconstructed magnetic resonance imaging data-sets. The torso adipose tissue models were then integrated into the standard multibody dummy models together with increased inertial parameters and sizes of the limbs to represent overweight occupants. Frontal crash simulations were carried out considering a variety of occupant restraint systems and regional body injuries were measured. The results revealed that differences in body mass and fat distribution have an impact on injury severity and pattern. Even though the torso adipose tissue of overweight subjects contributed to reduce abdominal injury, the momentum effect of a greater body mass of overweight subjects was more dominant over the cushion effect of the adipose tissue, increasing risk of other regional body injuries except abdomen. Through statistical analysis of the results, strong correlations (p < 0.01) were found between body mass index and regional body injuries except neck injury. The analysis also revealed that a greater momentum of overweight males leads to greater forward torso and pelvic excursions that account for higher risks (p < 0.001) of head, thorax and lower extremity injury than observed in non-overweight males. The findings have important implications for improving the vehicle and occupant safety systems designed for the increasing global obese population. 相似文献

The arginine decarboxylase (ADC) is a significant functional enzyme, synthesizes agmatine through arginine metabolism, and agmatine was reported to posses protective properties in various tissues. This study first optimized the conditions for efficient hexahistidine tagged human ADC (hisADC) gene delivery into mouse fibroblast cell line (NIH3T3) using retroviral vector (pLXSN). Later, the functionality of the delivered hisADC gene in synthesizing agmatine during H2O2 injury in NIH3T3 was also elucidated. Amplification of hisADC gene was performed using hisADC specific primers under specified conditions. The hisADC PCR product (1.4 kb) was ligated with pLXSN considering the restriction enzyme sites. The complete hisADC pLXSN clone was transfected into PT67 cell line following CalPhos Mammalian transfection method. RT-PCR and western blot results showed the specific and strong detection of hisADC genes in hisADC PT67 transfected cells compared with normal control and pLXSN transfected PT67 cells. The retrovirus containing hisADC gene (vhisADC) was infected into NIH3T3 (vhisADC NIH) using polybrene reagent. Immunocytochemical results showed hisADC expression in the cytoplasm of vhisADC NIH. HPLC analysis revealed high agmatine concentration in the vhisADC NIH, and the induced agmatine synthesized from the retroviral gene delivery prevented vhisADC NIH from H2O2 injury which is evident by the decrease in lactate dehydrogenase (P < 0.05) leakage into the medium and less number of propidium iodide positive cells during injury compared to control group. The obtained results provide compelling evidence that higher level of hisADC transgene expression completely triggered the endogenous agmatine synthesis during H2O2 injury thus protecting NIH3T3 cells against cytotoxicity. 相似文献
