Transfection with empty pcDNA3.1 vector(SGC-pcDNA) served as control. Comparative protein profiles of the two groups were analyzed by two-dimensional electrophoresis basedproteomics(2 DE gel-based proteomics). The differential proteins identified by 2 DE were further validated by qRTPCR and immunoblotting. Finally, co-immunoprecipitation was used to determine any direct interactions between PDX1 and the differential proteins.RESULTS2 DE gel proteomics identified seven differential proteins in SGC-PDX1 when compared with those in SGC-pcDNA. These included four heat shock proteins(HSPs; HSP70 p1 B, HSP70 p8, HSP60, HSP27) and three other proteins(ER60, laminin receptor 1, similar to epsilon isoform of 14-3-3 protein). Immunoblotting validated the expression of the HSPs(HSP70, HSP60, HSP27). Furthermore, their expressions were lowered to 80%, 20% and 24%, respectively, in SGC-PDX1, while PDX1 exhibited a 9-fold increase, compared to SGC-pcDNA. However, qRT-PCR analysis revealed that mRNA levels of the HSP s were increased in SGC-PDX1, suggesting that the expression of the HSP s was post-translationally regulated by the PDX1 protein. Finally, co-immunoprecipitation failed to identify any direct interaction between PDX1 and HSP70 proteins.CONCLUSION This study demonstrates the potential involvement of HSPs in PDX1-mediated effects on the genesis of gastric cancer.展开更多

Western blot and Reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) were used to detect the expression of PDX-1 protein and mRNA respectively. PDX-1 protein was only faintly detected in pancreatic ductal cells on the day 1 after partial pancreatectomy. On the day 2 and 3 after operation in operation group, a 2—3 fold increased PDX-1 protein was observed, corresponding to the characteristic 42—kD protein in Western blot. There was significant difference between operation group and sham-operation group (P<0.05). PDX-1 protein expression on the day 5 and 7 after operation had already been no difference from control group (P>0.05). RT-PCR revealed the PDX-1 mRNA expression showed no significant difference between operation group at various time points and sham-operation group (P>0.05). These results indicate that there was overexpression of PDX-1 in the cells of pancreatic epithelium during the regeneration of remnant pancreas after partial pancreatectomy in adult rats, suggesting the pancreatic stem cells in pancreatic ductal epithelial cells are involved in the regeneration of remnant pancreas and the expression of PDX-1 in ductal cells was regulated posttranscription.展开更多

文摘Type 2 diabetes is one of the most prevalent and serious metabolic diseases.Under diabetic conditions,chronic hyperglycemia and subsequent induction of oxidative stress deteriorate pancreaticβ-cell function,which leads to the aggravation of type 2 diabetes.Although such phenomena are well known as glucose toxicity,its molecular mechanism remains unclear.In this review article,we describe the possible molecular mechanism forβ-cell dysfunction found in type 2 diabetes,focusing on(1)oxidative stress,(2)pancreatic transcription factors(PDX-1 and MafA)and(3)incretin receptors(GLP-1 and GIP receptors).Under such conditions,nuclear expression levels of PDX-1 and MafA are decreased,which leads to suppression of insulin biosynthesis and secretion.In addition,expression levels of GLP-1 and GIP receptors are decreased,which likely contributes to the impaired incretin effects found in diabetes.Taken together,it is likely that downregulation of pancreatic transcription factors(PDX-1and MafA)and down-regulation of incretin receptors(GLP-1 and GIP receptors)explain,at least in part,the molecular mechanism forβ-cell dysfunction found in type 2 diabetes.
