目的:探讨胞浆活化T细胞核因子1(nuclear factor of activated T-cells,cytplasmic 1,NFATc1)对人卵巢癌SKOV3细胞裸鼠移植瘤生长和肿瘤脉管生成的影响及其可能机制。方法:NFATc1 si RNA转染人上皮性卵巢癌细胞株SKOV3,免疫荧光及RT-PC...目的:探讨胞浆活化T细胞核因子1(nuclear factor of activated T-cells,cytplasmic 1,NFATc1)对人卵巢癌SKOV3细胞裸鼠移植瘤生长和肿瘤脉管生成的影响及其可能机制。方法:NFATc1 si RNA转染人上皮性卵巢癌细胞株SKOV3,免疫荧光及RT-PCR测量转染效率和基因抑制率,选取效率最高的序列建立裸鼠皮下移植瘤模型,测量各组裸鼠肿瘤体积,观察NFATc1 siRNA的体内抗肿瘤作用。免疫组织化学检测各组肿瘤组织NFATc1的表达情况,并使用细胞角蛋白染色标记上皮性来源,CD34标记微血管,podoplanin标记微淋巴管。分别计算各组微血管及微淋巴管密度并进行统计学分析。应用RT-PCR及Western blot检测各组移植瘤组织NFATc1、CXC趋化因子受体2(CXCR2)、成纤维细胞生长因子2(FGF-2)及血小板源性生长因子BB(PDGF-BB)的mRNA及蛋白表达水平。结果:3条特异性序列均可显著降低NFATc1的表达水平,以siRNA-1169最佳。NFATc1在空白组及阴性对照组瘤组织高表达。干扰组抑瘤率为57.08%,且重量和体积均低于2个对照组。空白组和阴性对照组的微血管密度和微淋巴管密度明显高于干扰组。对照组比较,NFATc1 siRNA可以在mRNA水平上明显抑制NFATC1、CXCR2、FGF-2和PDGF-BB的转录。Western blot各组细胞在相应位置出现NFATc1、CXCR2、FGF-2和PDGF-BB条带,空白组与阴性对照组的吸光度最强,与干扰组比较具有显著差异。结论:NFATc1 siRNA明显抑制人卵巢癌SKOV3细胞裸鼠皮下移植瘤生长和肿瘤脉管生成,下调CXCR2、FGF-2及PDGF-BB的表达可能为其途径之一。展开更多
活化T细胞核因子3(Nuclear factor of activated T cells 3,NFATc3)是NFAT家族的重要成员,在肌纤维类型转换中具有重要的作用。为探讨NFATc3 mRNA在不同品种鸡不同类型肌肉中的表达情况,以生长速度具有较大差异的清远麻鸡和隐性白羽鸡...活化T细胞核因子3(Nuclear factor of activated T cells 3,NFATc3)是NFAT家族的重要成员,在肌纤维类型转换中具有重要的作用。为探讨NFATc3 mRNA在不同品种鸡不同类型肌肉中的表达情况,以生长速度具有较大差异的清远麻鸡和隐性白羽鸡为材料,采用实时荧光定量PCR方法,检测不同发育时期趾长伸肌和比目鱼肌中NFATc3 mRNA的表达情况。结果发现,NFATc3 mRNA在两个品种骨骼肌的变化趋势基本一致,1日龄时,NFATc3在趾长伸肌和比目鱼肌中的表达量都较高,7日龄时显著下降,21日龄时出现上升,之后表达量趋于平稳;品种间比较,比目鱼肌中在21、49日龄时,清远麻鸡的基因表达量显著高于隐性白羽鸡(P<0.05),趾长伸肌中则在1、21日龄时,清远麻鸡的基因表达量显著高于隐性白羽鸡(P<0.05);同一品种不同类型肌肉间比较,总体上都是趾长伸肌的表达量高于比目鱼肌。提示,鸡骨骼肌中NFATc3 mRNA表达变化规律不存在品种差异,NFATc3可能在鸡不同类型肌肉肌纤维的发育中起重要作用。展开更多
