RESUMEN

6-Shogaol from ginger has anti-inflammatory, anti-oxidation and anti-cancer effects. Aim of the Study: To study the effects and possible mechanisms of 6-Shogaol on inhibiting the migration of colon cancer cells Caco2 and HCT116 and prove the effects on proliferation and apoptosis. Materials and methods: The cells were treated with 6-Shogaol at the concentrations of 20, 40, 60, 80, and 100 µM, the cytotoxicity was tested by Colony formation assays and 3-(4,5-Dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide (MTT), and the Western blot was used to evaluate IKKß/NF-κB/Snail pathway and EMT-related proteins. In addition, in order to eliminate the interference of proliferation inhibition on the experiment, Caco2 cells were treated with 6-Shogaol at the concentrations of 0, 40, and 80 µM, HCT116 cells were treated with 6-Shogaol at the concentrations of 0, 20, and 40 µM, apoptosis was measured by Annex V/PI staining, and migration was measured by Wound healing assays and Transwell test. Results: 6-Shogaol significantly inhibited the growth of cells. The maximum inhibitory concentration of half of them was 86.63 µM in Caco2 cells and 45.25 µM in HCT116 cells. At 80 µM and 40 µM concentrations, 6-Shogaol significantly promoted apoptosis of colon cancer Caco2 cells and HCT116 cells, and also significantly inhibited cell migration (P < .05). In addition, Western blot analysis showed that at 80 µM dose of 6-Shogaol significantly reduced MMP-2, N-cadherin, IKKß, P-NF-κB and Snail expression in Caco2 cells (P < .05). 40 µM dose of 6-Shogaol significantly reduced VEGF, IKKß, and P-NF-κB expression, and MMP-2, N-cadherin and Snail was significantly decreased at 60 µM of 6-Shogaol in HCT116 cells(P < .05). However, there was no significant change in E-cadherin in Caco2 cells, and the expression of E-cadherin protein in HCT116 cells decreased. Conclusion: This study proposes and confirms that 6-Shogaol can significantly inhibit the migration of colon cancer cells Caco2 and HCT116, and its mechanism may be produced by inhibiting EMT through IKKß/NF-κB/Snail signaling pathway. It was also confirmed that 6-Shogaol inhibited the proliferation and promoted apoptosis of Caco2 and HCT116 cells.

RESUMEN

OBJECTIVES: To study the inhibitory effect of ß-elemene on invasion and metastasis of colorectal cancer cells and its possible mechanism. METHODS: Human colon cancer HCT116 cells were treated with different concentrations of ß-elemene. The proliferation inhibition rate of the cells was detected by MTT assay, cell migration rate was detected by scratched assay, and cell invasion rate was evaluated by Transwell cell invasion assay. The expressions of Vimentin, E-cadherin, N-cadherin, and ß-catenin were detected by Western blotting. The mRNA expressions of Vimentin, E-cadherin, N-cadherin, and ß-catenin were detected by real-time PCR. RESULTS: Compared with the control group, the expressions of migration rate, invasion rate, scratch healing rate, N-cadherin, and Vimentin protein of HCT116 cells were decreased after ß-elemene treatment, while the expression of E-cadherin protein was increased, and the inhibition rate of cell proliferation was increased (p<0.05). CONCLUSIONS: ß-Elemene may inhibit cell proliferation and invasion and metastasis by inhibiting EMT signaling pathway in human colon cancer cell line HCT116.

RESUMEN

OBJECTIVE: To explore the effects of lutein on the adhesion, invasiveness and metastasis of human prostate cancer PC-3M cells and its action mechanism. METHODS: We divided human prostate cancer PC-3M cells into a control, a low-dose lutein, a medium-dose lutein and a high-dose lutein group, and treated them with 0, 10, 20 and 40 µmol/L lutein, respectively. Then we examined the adhesion of the cells to matrix by cell adhesion assay and the changes in cell pseudopodia by Phalloidin staining, detected the expressions of paxillin, matrix metalloproteinase 2 (MMP-2), MMP-9, recombinant tissue inhibitors of metalloproteinase 1 (TIMP-1), E-cadherin, N-cadherin and vimentin by Western blot, determined the invasiveness and migration of the cells by scratch and Transwell assays, and observed their dynamic movement by high-intension imaging. RESULTS: Compared with the control, the lutein intervention groups showed significant reduction in the number of the cells adhered to matrix, the number of cell pseudopodia, the expressions of paxillin, MMP-2, MMP-9, N-cadherin and vimentin, the rates of migration, invasion and metastasis, and the distances of displacement and movement of the cells. However, the expressions of TIMP-1 and epithelial-mesenchymal transition-related E-cadherin were upregulated significantly. CONCLUSION: Lutein can inhibit cell adhesion, reduce the expressions of MMPs, and suppress cell invasion and migration by inhibiting the process of epithelial-mesenchymal transition.

RESUMEN

Background: Lower limb ischemia due to arterial stenosis is a major complication in patients with diabetes mellitus (DM). Liraglutide is a long-acting analogue of a glucagon-like peptide 1 (GLP-1) receptor agonist used for lowering blood glucose in patients with DM, and is believed to possess cardiovascular protective effects. The aim of this study was to investigate whether liraglutide has a protective effect on blood vessels and alleviates vascular intimal hyperplasia in streptozotocin (STZ)-induced rabbits with DM and its molecular mechanism. Methods: Rabbits with DM were induced by STZ, and a lower limb ischemia model was established. The animals were divided into a control group, DM-injury group and liraglutide treatment group. Pathological staining was used to observe the intimal growth, analyze the oxidation levels of malondialdehyde (MDA), superoxide dismutase (SOD) and plasma glutathione peroxidase (GSH-Px), and analyze the changes in expression of marker proteins and signaling pathway proteins by Western blotting. A hyperglycemia (HG)-injured vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) model was established to analyze reactive oxygen species (ROS) levels, Cell-Counting Kit-8 (CCK-8) was used to analyze cell proliferation, scratch assay and Transwell Migration Assay to analyze cell migration, flow cytometry to analyze apoptosis and Western blotting was used to analyze changes in the expression of marker and signaling pathway proteins. Results: The results of pathological staining showed that intimal hyperplasia was severe after diabetes-induced lower limb ischemia in rabbits at 4 weeks, and liraglutide treatment reduced symptoms. Liraglutide treatment significantly decreased MDA content, increased SOD, GSH-Px content, and augmented total antioxidant capacity levels in tissues. The results of Western blotting analysis showed that E-cadherin, mitochondrial membrane potential 9 (MMP-9), proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA), and type I collagen protein expression levels were significantly decreased after liraglutide treatment compared with the DM injury group. The results indicated that liraglutide inhibited epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) progression, vascular cell proliferation and migration and collagen production. Liraglutide inhibits transforming growth factor beta 1 (TGF-ß1)/Smad3 signaling pathway protein expression. In vitro assays have shown that liraglutide reduces cellular ROS levels, inhibits cell proliferation and migration and promotes apoptosis. Liraglutide down-regulated the expression of E-cadherin, MMP-9, PCNA, type I collagen protein as well as the TGF-ß1/Smad3 signaling pathway, but this effect could be reversed by tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-α). Conclusion: Liraglutide can significantly improve tissue antioxidant capacity, reduce vascular cell proliferation and migration via the TGF-ß1/Smad3 signaling pathway, inhibit the EMT and collagen production processes, and alleviate hyperglycemia(HG)-induced lower limb ischemia and intimal hyperplasia.

RESUMEN

Thalamocortical axons are precisely targeted to cortical layer IV, but the identity of specific molecules that govern the establishment of laminar specificity in the thalamocortical projection has been elusive. In this study, we test the role of N-cadherin, a homophilic cell adhesion molecule, in laminar targeting of thalamocortical axons using cocultured thalamic and cortical slice explants exposed to N-cadherin function-blocking antibodies or inhibitory peptides. In untreated cocultures, labeled thalamocortical axons normally grow to and stop in layer IV, forming terminal-like arbors. In the N-cadherin-blocked cocultures, thalamic axons reach layer IV by growing through deep layers at the same rate as those in the untreated cocultures, but instead of terminating in layer IV, they continue growing uninterruptedly through layer IV and extend into supragranular layers to reach the outermost cortical edge, where some form terminal-like arbors in this aberrant laminar position. In cocultures in which the cortical slice is taken at an earlier maturational stage, one that corresponds to a time when thalamic axons are normally growing through deep layers before the emergence of layer IV from the cortical plate, thalamic axon ingrowth through deep layers is significantly attenuated by N-cadherin blocking reagents. These data indicate that N-cadherin has multifaceted roles in establishing the thalamocortical projection, governing aspects of both thalamic axon ingrowth and laminar targeting by acting as a layer IV stop signal, which progressively change in parallel with the maturational state of the cortex.

RESUMEN

The neural cell adhesion molecule (NCAM) promotes axonal growth via a homophilic binding mechanism by acting both as a neuronal receptor and a substratum ligand. We have previously shown that the GPI-linked 120-kDa isoform of NCAM, which lacks a cytoplasmic domain, is effective at promoting neurite outgrowth as a cellular ligand. To test its ability to function as a neuronal receptor, we have transfected PC12 cells with a cDNA encoding human GPI-linked NCAM and tested clones displaying stable cell surface expression of this isoform for their ability to respond to NCAM in a cellular substratum. Although they continued to express endogenous transmembrane rat isoforms of NCAM (140 and 180 kDa), PC12 cells expressing the GPI-linked NCAM lost their ability to extend neurites in response to substratum associated NCAM. However, their outgrowth response to N-cadherin and other activators of axonal growth was undiminished. Removal of GPI-linked NCAM from the surface of these clones using phosphatidylinositol-specific phospholipase C (PIPLC) fully restored their responsiveness to NCAM, indicating that the inhibition was a direct consequence of cell surface expression of this "dominant negative" isoform of NCAM. We have previously shown that expression of transfected 140- and 180-kDa isoforms of human NCAM in PC12 cells does not result in a loss of the neurite outgrowth response to NCAM. However, we show that deletion of the cytoplasmic domain of the 140-kDa isoform has the same effect as expression of GPI-linked NCAM. We conclude that the cytoplasmic domain of NCAM is required for an appropriate neurite outgrowth response.
