Specimens were collected from 28 patients with benign lung diseases and 28 with NSCLC, and immunohis to chemically detected to evaluate the correlation of EMP-1 expression to the clinical features of NSCLC. Recombinant adenovirus was constructed to over-express EMP-1 and then infect PC9 cells. Cell proliferation was measured by Ki67 staining. Western blotting was performed to examine the effect of EMP-1 on the PI3K/AKT signaling. Moreover, tumor xeno-grafts were established by subcutaneous injection of PC9 cell suspension (about 5×107/mL in 100 μL of PBS) into the right hind limbs of athymic nude mice. The results showed EMP-1 was significantly up-regulated in NSCLC patients as compared with those with benign lung diseases. Over-expression of EMP-1 promoted proliferation of PC9 cells, which coincided with the activation of the PI3K/AKT pathway. EMP-1 promoted the growth of xenografts of PC9 cells in athymic nude mice. It was concluded that EMP-1 expression may contribute to the development and progress of NSCLC by activating PI3K/AKT pathway.展开更多
【目的】基于PI3K/Akt通路研究含凝血酶敏感素基序的去解联金属蛋白酶1(a disintegrin and metalloproteinase with thrombospondin motifs 1,ADAMTS1)在产双胎和单胎蒙古羊发情周期不同阶段卵巢内的表达规律,探究ADAMTS1基因影响蒙古...【目的】基于PI3K/Akt通路研究含凝血酶敏感素基序的去解联金属蛋白酶1(a disintegrin and metalloproteinase with thrombospondin motifs 1,ADAMTS1)在产双胎和单胎蒙古羊发情周期不同阶段卵巢内的表达规律,探究ADAMTS1基因影响蒙古羊繁殖性状的作用机制。【方法】选取经产2次的双胎和单胎蒙古羊共40只,自然发情,确定母羊发情期和间情期,分为双胎发情期、双胎间情期、单胎发情期和单胎间情期组,每组各10只羊。利用注射器抽取2~3岁蒙古羊颗粒细胞,分为对照组和试验组,对照组不添加药物,试验组添加15μmol/L LY294002处理颗粒细胞,分别在24、48和72 h测定细胞活力。通过实时荧光定量PCR技术检测母羊卵巢组织和颗粒细胞内ADAMTS1、PI3K、PTEN、Akt、RPS6、Bcl-2和BAX基因的相对表达量;通过Western blotting技术检测卵巢和颗粒细胞内ADAMTS1、PI3K和Akt蛋白的表达丰度。【结果】实时荧光定量PCR结果显示,双胎发情期组ADAMTS1、Bcl-2基因表达量均显著高于其余各组(P<0.05);双胎发情期组和双胎间情期组PI3K、Akt和PTEN基因表达量均显著高于单胎发情期组和单胎间情期组(P<0.05);单胎间情期组RPS6基因表达量显著低于其余各组(P<0.05);间情期与发情期相比,BAX基因表达显著上调(P<0.05)。Western blotting结果显示,双胎发情期ADAMST1蛋白表达量显著高于其余各组(P<0.05);双胎组与单胎组相比,PI3K和Akt蛋白均表达上调,其中,双胎发情期和双胎间情期PI3K蛋白表达量均显著高于单胎发情期组和单胎间情期组(P<0.05),双胎间情期Akt蛋白表达量最高,显著高于其余各组(P<0.05)。与对照组相比,试验组蒙古羊颗粒细胞形态异常,细胞增殖缓慢,且ADAMTS1、PI3K和Akt基因和蛋白的相对表达量均显著降低(P<0.05)。【结论】ADAMTS1、PI3K和Akt基因和蛋白在蒙古羊卵巢和颗粒细胞内的表达趋势一致,呈正向相关关系,证明ADAMTS1基因PI3K/Akt轴在蒙古羊产双胎性状中发挥重要作用。展开更多
