Methods Rabbit aortic VSMCs were cultured. VSMCs proliferation ability was determined by measuring cell number and mitochondrial dehydrogenase (MD) activity with MTT assay. Western blot was used to detect the protein expression ofphosphatase PHLPP1. Results IGF-1 (100ug/L) increased cell number and MD activity to 3.02 and 3.59 times of that in control group, oxLDL(501xg/ml) elevated the above two parameters to 2.03 and 2.91 times respectively. Western blot showed that IGF-1 and oxLDL inhibited the expression of PHLPPI to 39.27% and 40.26% of the control group (P〈0.01 ). Conclusion IGF- 1 and oxLDL may enhance the proliferation of VSMCs by decreasing the expression ofphosphatase PHLPP 1.展开更多

文摘目的探讨PHLPP1在结直肠癌中的表达规律及临床意义。方法采用免疫组织化学实验检测10例结直肠癌组织石蜡标本中PHLPP1蛋白水平的表达情况;同时运用western blot实验和实时荧光定量PCR实验检测10对新鲜结直肠癌组织及配对的癌旁组织中PHLPP1蛋白和mRNA的表达情况;另外运用实时荧光定量PCR实验检测52例新鲜结直肠癌组织中PHLPP1 mRNA的表达水平,并分析PHLPP1的表达水平与临床病理参数之间的关系。结果 western blot实验、免疫组织化学实验及实时荧光定量PCR实验的结果显示PHLPP1在结直肠癌组织中的表达水平均明显低于配对的癌旁组织,并且PHLPP1在结直肠癌组织中mRNA的表达水平与结直肠癌的分化程度、Ducks分期、淋巴结转移和远处转移相关等临床病理参数之间呈负相关(P<0.05)。结论结直肠癌组织中PHLPP1的表达水平显著下调,并且其表达水平与分化程度、Dukes分期、淋巴结转移和远处转移等临床病理参数之间呈负相关,PHLPP1在结直肠癌的发生、发展和转移的过程中可能发挥类似抑癌基因的作用。
