摘要:
To determine whether the proapoptotic effect of proprotein-convertasae cubtilisin/kexin 9 related to caspase3 activation by informatics analysis. The blank control group, the transfection regent control group, the negative control group and the 80 nmol/L PCSK9 siRNA+80μg/ml oxLDL group were established simultaneously with the participation of HUVEC-12 which was incubated with 80μg/ml oxLDL for 24hr. Expression of caspase3 was measured by western blot. In order to find the similarity of sequence and the existence of a common conservative motif, comparison was made among PCSK9, caspase8 and caspase9 by bioinformatics methods. An inhibitory effect of PCSK9 siRNA on expression of caspase3 was observed in experiments. The sequence similarity of PCSK9, caspase8 and caspase9 was 22.14%. There was a similar secondary structure such as helix, strand, turn and coil in C-terminal of PCSK9 and caspase9. The similarity also can be found in the profile of PCSK9 and caspase9, which explains the common cleft relating to their similar enzyme activity in their abdomen. Finally, there were similar motifs when comparing PCSK9 with caspase9, while the proapoptotic capacity of PCSK9 has association with its activation effect on caspase3. ©2012 Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg.

摘要:
脂蛋白(a)由低密度脂蛋白和载脂蛋白(a)组成。高血浆脂蛋白(a)水平是动脉粥样硬化和心盖管疾病的独立危险因素。脂蛋白(a)不但能参与动脉粥样硬化斑块的形成,还能影响抗炎机制和血管壁中促凝与抗凝因子的平衡。血浆脂蛋白(a)水平的个体差异很大,主要受遗传因素控制。血浆脂蛋白(a)水平对药理和非药理因素都不敏感,临床上缺乏高效安全降低脂蛋白(a)水平的治疗方法。近年,科研工作者发现反义寡核苷酸链和人工合成的肽链等可以降低脂蛋白(a)水平,但用于临床治疗还需进一步研究。本文拟对近年来脂蛋白(a)与动脉粥样硬化研究的新进展进行综述。

摘要:
Tumors are usually characterized by an imbalance in cytosine methylation, including hypomethylation of CpG islands. In this study, bisulfite sequencing PCR was used to assess the promoter methylation status of coagulation factor X (F10) gene in tumors of 96 glioma patients and in glioma cells U251, SF767, and SF126, and the effect of promoter hypomethylation on protein expression was evaluated immunohistochemically. The study showed that the demethylation ratio of F10 in SF126, SF767, and U251 cells was 38.6, 26.4, and 24.3% respectively. Hypomethylation of F10 was detected in 82.3% of glioma specimens and in no normal brain tissues, with significant correlation with its protein expression. However there was no remarkable relationship between F10 hypomethylation and sex, age, and advanced tumor grade. The correlation between F10 hypomethylation, protein expression, and overall survival (OS) was statistically significant. Hypomethylation of F10 promoter in gliomas accounted for F10 encoding protein FX overexpression and aggressive biological behavior in a subset of patients. Furthermore, in the F10 hypomethylation group, OS was shorter for patients with F10 overexpression than for those without. Detection of these epigenetic changes in tumors may provide important information regarding prognosis.

摘要:
POTE ankyrin domain family, member H (POTEH) belongs to POTE family, which expresses in many cancers. In this study, methylation status of POTEH promoter and its correlation with clinicopathological parameters were evaluated in glioma tissues and cells. Bisulfite sequencing PCR was carried out to investigate the promoter methylation status of POTEH in tumor of 96 glioma patients and glioma cells U251, SF767, and SF126. The effect of promoter hypomethylation on protein expression was evaluated by immunohistochemistry. POTEH was hypomethylated in 81.3% gliomas and none in normal brain tissues, and correlated significantly with its protein expression. But there was no remarkable relationship between sex, age, advanced tumor grade and POTEH hypomethylation. With the grade progressing, POTEH protein expression was enhanced. The correlation between POTEH hypomethylation, protein expression and overall survival was statistically significant. In POTEH hypomethylation group, patients with POTEH high expression had shorter overall survival than those with low expression. Hypomethylation of POTEH promoter in gliomas accounted for POTEH protein overexpression and poor outcome in a subset of patients. Detection of these epigenetic changes in tumors may provide information regarding prognosis. © 2011 Elsevier B.V.

摘要:
LRRC4 is not only a brain-specific gene, but it has also been identified as a tumor suppressor gene for glioma. Promoter methylation of LRRC4 is frequently involved in the inactivation in glioma. MiRNA-mediated gene regulation has recently been demonstrated to play an important role in multiple biological processes related to cancer, including glioma. In this study, we demonstrated that a small regulatory microRNA, hsa-miR-381, an "oncomir", had a major role in glioma progression and that LRRC4 was a target of hsa-miR-381. By regulating LRRC4, hsa-miR-381 increased the in vitro and in vivo proliferation of glioma cells, and this action was associated with decreased inhibition of MEK/ERK and AKT signaling. Conversely, LRRC4, as a glioma suppressor, inhibited the endogenous expression of hsa-miR-381 and decreased cell proliferation and tumor growth. The interaction of hsa-miR-381 and LRRC4 is involved in the pathogenesis of glioma. In addition, the stable expression of hsa-miR-381 in blood provides a novel and promising diagnostic biomarker, and anti-hsa-miR-381 "antagomir" may be an ideal target for glioma therapy. © 2011 Elsevier B.V.

摘要:
AIMS: Advanced oxidation protein products (AOPPs) are new independent risk factor for coronary artery disease. This study was to determine the effects and potential mechanisms of AOPPs on cholesterol efflux from human macrophage foam cells. METHODS: Human THP-1 monocytes were preincubated with Phorbol-12-myristate- 13-acetate (PMA) and oxidized low density lipoprotein (ox-LDL) to form foam cells. The protein and mRNA expression were examined by western immunoblotting assays and real-time quantitative PCR, respectively. Cellular cholesterol content was measured by HPLC. The cholesterol efflux was assessed by liquid scintillation counting. RESULTS: AOPPs significantly decreased the expression of ATP-binding membrane cassette transporter A-1 (ABCA1) and liver X receptor alpha (LXRalpha) and reduced cholesterol efflux from THP-1 macrophage- derived foam cells. AOPPs substantially activated NADPH oxidase and activated Janus kinase/signal transducers and activators of transcription (JAK/STAT) signal pathway in THP-1-derived foam-like cells. Inhibiting NADPH oxidase by diphenyliodonium (DPI) effectively abolished the AOPPs-induced decrease in cholesterol efflux and the expression of ABCA1. Inhibiting JAK/STAT activation by its specific inhibitor AG-490 or by siRNA could also block AOPPs action on THP-1 cells. CONCLUSIONS: AOPPs may first down-regulate the expression of LXRalpha and ABCA1 through JAK/STAT signal pathway activation and then inhibit cholesterol efflux in THP-1-derived foam-like cells; therefore, our study may be useful for understanding the critical effects of AOPPs on the pathogenesis of atherosclerosis.

摘要:
Background: Perturbation of DNA methylation is frequent in cancers and has emerged as an important mechanism involved in tumorigenesis. To determine how DNA methylation is modified in the genome of primary glioma, we used Methyl-DNA immunoprecipitation (MeDIP) and Nimblegen CpG promoter microarrays to identify differentially DNA methylation sequences between primary glioma and normal brain tissue samples.Methods: MeDIP-chip technology was used to investigate the whole-genome differential methylation patterns in glioma and normal brain tissues. Subsequently, the promoter methylation status of eight candidate genes was validated in 40 glioma samples and 4 cell lines by Sequenom's MassARRAY system. Then, the epigenetically regulated expression of these genes and the potential mechanisms were examined by chromatin immunoprecipitation and quantitative real-time PCR.Results: A total of 524 hypermethylated and 104 hypomethylated regions were identified in glioma. Among them, 216 hypermethylated and 60 hypomethylated regions were mapped to the promoters of known genes related to a variety of important cellular processes. Eight promoter-hypermethylated genes (ANKDD1A, GAD1, HIST1H3E, PCDHA8, PCDHA13, PHOX2B, SIX3, and SST) were confirmed in primary glioma and cell lines. Aberrant promoter methylation and changed histone modifications were associated with their reduced expression in glioma. In addition, we found loss of heterozygosity (LOH) at the miR-185 locus located in the 22q11.2 in glioma and induction of miR-185 over-expression reduced global DNA methylation and induced the expression of the promoter-hypermethylated genes in glioma cells by directly targeting the DNA methyltransferases 1.Conclusion: These comprehensive data may provide new insights into the epigenetic pathogenesis of human gliomas. © 2011 Zhang et al; licensee BioMed Central Ltd.

摘要:
Recent evidence indicates that hydrogen sulfide (H2S) exerts an antiatherogenic effect, but the mechanism is unclear. Formation of macrophage-derived foam cells is a crucial event in the development of atherosclerosis. Thus, we explore the effect of H2S on the formation of macrophage-derived foam cells. Incubation of monocyte-derived macrophages with oxidized LDL (oxLDL) alone caused significant increases both in intracellular lipids revealed by Oil-red O staining and in intracellular total cholesterol (TC) and esterified cholesterol (EC) concentrations assessed by high-performance liquid chromatography. Sodium hydrosulfide (NaHS, an H 2S donor) remarkably abrogated oxLDL-induced intracellular lipid accumulation, and attenuated TC and EC concentrations and EC/TC ratio, whereas DL-propargylglycine (PPG) (a H2S-generating enzyme cystathionine gamma lyase inhibitor) exacerbated lipid accumulation and augmented TC and EC concentrations and EC/TC ratio. Incubation of 1,1′-dioctadecyl-3,3, 3′,3′-tetramethylindocarbocyanine perchlorate (DiI)-oxLDL led to lipoprotein binding and uptake of macrophages, which was blunted by NaHS, but enhanced by PPG. Furthermore, OxLDL markedly induced CD36, scavenger receptor A (SR-A) and acyl-coenzyme A:cholesterol acyltransferase-1 (ACAT-1) expressions in macrophages, which was suppressed by NaHS (50-200 μmol/L). Finally, the down-regulations of TC and EC concentrations as well as CD36 and ACAT-1 expressions by NaHS were suppressed by glibenclamide, a KATP channel blocker, but facilitated by PD98059, an extracellular signal-regulated kinases 1 and 2 (ERK1/2) inhibitor. These results suggested that H2S inhibits foam cell formation by down-regulating CD36, SR-A and ACAT1 expressions via the KATP/ERK1/2 pathway in human monocyte-derived macrophages.

摘要:
It has been reported that oxidized low-density lipoprotein (Ox-LDL) can increase the expression of adipophilin. However, the detailed mechanisms are not fully understood. The aim of this study was to investigate the mechanism of Ox-LDL on adipophilin expression and the intracellular lipid droplet accumulation. A mouse macrophage-like cell line, RAW264.7, was used throughout, and it was found that Ox-LDL induced adipophilin expression in a dose-dependent manner. Moreover, Ox-LDL induced peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-γ (PPARγ) expression and PPARγ-specific inhibitor T0070907 abrogated Ox-LDL-induced adipophilin expression, but specific agonist GW1929 not. Furthermore, Ox-LDL induced phosphorylation of ERK1/2, and ERK1/2-specific inhibition by PD98059 suppressed the Ox-LDL-induced PPARγ and adipophilin expression. The results showed that ERK1/2 or PPARγ-specific inhibition decreased the amounts of intracellular lipid droplets. Meanwhile, the PPARγ-specific agonist increased intracellular lipid droplets. These results suggested that Ox-LDL-induced increase in adipophilin level via ERK1/2 activation is one of the mechanisms of inducing greater amounts of intracellular lipid droplets in RAW264.7 cells, which indicated that adipophilin is involved in atherosclerotic progression. © The Author 2010.

摘要:
In this study, we investigated the effect of low density lipoprotein (LDL) on endothelial cell adhesion in shear stress. The endothelial cells were incubated with four different concentrations of low density lipoprotein for 24h. Thereafter, the content of cholesterol ester in endothelial cells was assayed with High Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC). The lipid within endothelial cells was detected with oil red O. F-actin was examined with fluorescence staining of rhodamine-phalloidin. A micropipette aspiration technique was employed to investigate the viscoelasticity of endothelial cells treated by LDL. After treated with LDL, endothelial cells were subjected to flow shear stress of 15Pa for 24h. Compared to control, LDL significantly increased the ester level in endothelial cells (p<0.05). Observation by fluorescence microscopy showed that the fibers of F-actin in normal endothelial cells concentrated along the cell membrane and no dense fibers were observed in the cytoplasm. The abnormal F-actin were appeared in LDL-treated endothelial cells, while most of the peripheral fibers disappeared and dense stress fibers were observed in the cytoplasm with high dose LDL. After exposed to 1.5 Pa shear stress the conformance and the adhesion of endothelial cells which incubated with 150 mg/L LDL decreased comparing with control. It is concluded that LDL causes lipid accumulation and the cytoplasm damaged, which may relate to endothelial cell conformance and adhesion. © 2010 International Federation for Medical and Biological Engineering.

摘要:
To test the hypothesis that concentration polarization of atherogenic lipids may occur in the arterial system and probe the effect of endothelial cells (ECs). A modifier with local stenosis was developed. The luminal surface LDL concentration at the distal of stenosis was analyzed with numerical stimulation and was measured by confocal microscopy. ECs were incubated with low density lipoprotein(LDL). Then, ECs were exposed to shear stress(15dyn/cm2) and F-actin was examined by fluorescence staining. Numerical stimulation showed that the luminal surface LDL concentration was higher than the bulk concentration. The relative luminal surface LDL concentration varied with the velocity and degree of stenosis. The experimental detection result was very good agreement with the numerical analysis. After treated with LDL, F-actin reorganization was observed. Under flow, the adhesion and retention of ECs were negatively relative to LDL concentration. Therefore provided concentration polarization of LDL occurs at the distal end of stenosis, and in turn effect the adhesion of ECs under flow.
