The cell proliferation assay was performed with a camera attached to a bioreactor,which was programmed to photograph five regions of each well every 10 min over a period of 48 h.The cell invasion assay was conducted with Matrigel to assess the invasive potential,of MG-63 cells over 24h,the qPCR analysis to measure stem cell markers,including Oct4, Sox-2,Nanog,and Pax-7,and Western blot analysis to detect invasive and metastatic potential markers TIMP-1,VEGF and BMP2/4,after 24h of culture.Immunofluorescence was used to investigate the presence of the stem cell marker Pax-7 after 24-h culture. The results showed that over-expression of MMP-1 after transfection could significantly increase minor cell proliferation and invasion (P<0.05,MG-63^MMP-1+ versus controls).Pax-7 was highly expressed in MG-63^MMP-1+ cells,with no significant changes of Oct-4,Sox-2, and Nanog observed (P<0.05).MG-63^MMP-1+ cells showed higher expression of VEGF and BMP 2/4 proteins and lower expression of TIMP-1 protein than controls (P<0.05).It was concluded that MMP-1 over-expression in MG-63 cells contributed to the proliferation, invasion,metastasis and stem-like properties of osteosarcoma cells.Future studies should focus on in vivo effects of MMP-1 over-expression and the application of MMP-1 and Pax-7 inhibition in vivo to osteosarcoma theraoies.展开更多

However, other research indicates that delta Np63 is considered to have oncogenic properties. Delta Np63 overexpression is often observed in association with the oncogenic growth of squamous cell carcinomas and bladder cancer. In this study, we investigated the oncogenic role of delta Np63 in regulating cell adhesion in transitional cell carcinoma of the bladder （TCCB）. The cells were stably transfected with the delta Np63 short hairpin RNA （shRNA） plasmid. Immunocytochemistry was performed to determine the knockdown efficiency. Tumour cells were studied for their ability to adhere to vascular endothelial cells. Confocal microscopy was used to analyse the changes in cytoskeletal F-actin. F-actin expression was measured by flow cytometry. Cell invasion ability was assessed using transwell chambers. The delta Np63-silenced tumour cells were shown to adhere more tightly than controls to vascular endothelial cells （P〈0.05）. The content of F-actin in the delta Np63-silenced cells was enhanced （P〈0.05）. The Matrigel invasion assays showed that human 5637 bladder cancer cells had a lower degree of motility when transfected with pdelta Np63-shRNA （P〈0.05）. In conclusion, silencing of the delta Np63 expression can enhance the adhesiveness of 5637 cells by inducing F-actin cytoskeleton production, and it will possibly inhibit the TCCB invasion and metastasis.展开更多

Methods： Growth suppression was detected by MTT method. Special morphological changes of apoptosis were observed by transmission electron microscopy （TEM） and DNA fragments electrophoresis. The apoptotic rates were quantified by flow cytometry （FCM）. And Bcl-2 protein level were detected by Western Blotting assay. Results： Different concentration NS398 inhibited the cell growth. Through TEM and DNA electrophoresis, the special morphological changes were observed after 24, 48 and 72 h treatment with NS398. The apoptotic rates of MG-63 cells treated with NS398 were respectively, significantly higher than that of the control group（ P 〈0.01 ）. Western blot assay showed that NS398 reduced Bcl-2 protein expression. Conclusion： NS398 suppressed the proliferation of human osteosarcoma cell MG-63 line and induced apoptosis. The mechanism may be associated with down-regulation expression level of bcl-2 protein.展开更多
In order to characterize the effects of 17β estradiol （17β-E2） on the expression of IL-6, IL-11 and NF-κB in the human MG-63 osteohlast-like cell line, the expression of IL-6 was detected by RT-PCR, Northern blot...In order to characterize the effects of 17β estradiol （17β-E2） on the expression of IL-6, IL-11 and NF-κB in the human MG-63 osteohlast-like cell line, the expression of IL-6 was detected by RT-PCR, Northern blot and Western blot. The expression of IL-11 was determined by RTPCR, and NF-κB by Western blot. The results showed that 17β-E2 down-regulated the expression of IL-6 mRNA and protein, IL-11 mRNA and NF-κB protein in MG-63 cells. It was suggested that the expression of NF-κB, IL-6 and IL-11 in MG-63 cells could be suppressed by 17β-E2, and this might lend support to estrogen replacement therapy in postmenopausal women.展开更多

IEC-6 cells were cultured in different concentrations of Mg-6Zn alloy extracts（40%, 20%） and in the control group. The indirect effects of Mg-6Zn alloy on IEC-6 cells were studied by calculating the cell relative growth rate（RGR）, measuring the apoptosis of IEC-6 cells through flow cytometry, and investigating the expression of caspase-3 using real-time polymerase chain reaction. The experimental results show that the cytotoxicity of these extracts is Grade 0-1. The level of apoptosis in IEC-6 cells cultured in 40% Mg-6Zn alloy extracts is significantly higher than that in cells treated with 20% extract and the control group. The expression of caspase-3 is found to be up-regulated in the 40% extract as compared to 20% extract and the control group. Taken together, the data show that the Mg-6Zn alloy in 40% and 20% concentration extracts proves noncytotoxicity. But the 40% concentration of Mg-6Zn alloy extract can induce the apoptosis and the related caspase-3 expression in vitro.展开更多
