The blockade of function of the ERN1 enzyme, which is a major sensor of endoplasmic reticulum stress, leads to a decrease of the VEGFA, VEGFB and VEGFC mRNA expression level. The level of VEGFA proteins also decreases at this experimental condition in the cytosolic fraction, but increases in the nuclear fraction. Hypoxia does not affect VEGFC and increases the expression level of VEGFA and VEGFB mRNA in both used cell types, however, the change was much less profound in cells with suppressed function of ERN1. The expression level of VEGFC mRNA decreases in both used cell types in glutamine deprivation condition, however, the change was more profound in control glioma cells. At the same time, the expression level of VEGFA mRNA increases and VEGFB—decreases in gluta-mine deprivation condition in control glioma cells only. Exposure of glioma cells to glucose deprivation condition increases VEGFB mRNA expression level in both used cell types;however, VEGFA—in control glioma cells only and VEGFC—in cells with ERN1 signaling enzyme loss of function only. Thus, the results of this study clearly demonstrated the down-regulation of the expression of all three VEGF genes in glioma cells with ERN1 loss of function which correlates to the suppressed angiogenesis and proliferation rate of these cells. Moreover, the effect of hy-poxia and glutamine or glucose deprivation condition on the expression level of all VEGF genes is different and mainly depends on ERN1 signaling enzyme function.展开更多

It was shown that the expression levels of activating transcription factor 6 (ATF6), clusterin (CLU), adhesion G protein-coupled receptor E5 (ADGRE5), transglutaminase?2, C polypeptide (TGM2), leukemia inhibitory factor (LIF), phosphoserine aminotransferase 1 (PSAT1), glyoxalase I (GLO1) and tetraspanin 13 (TSPAN13) are significantly down-regulated in glioma cells with the knockdown of IRE1 signaling enzyme. It was also shown that in glioma cells subjected to hypoxia, the expression levels of PSAT1, TSPAN13, EIF2AK3, and TGM2 genes were up-regulated, whereas the expression of ATF6 gene was down-regulated. At the same time, the expression levels of LIF, CLU, and ADGRE5 genes did not change in response to hypoxic treatment.?Furthermore, inhibition of IRE1, a key effector of an unfolded protein response pathway, modified the effect of hypoxia on the expression of most studied genes. Present study demonstrates that IRE1 knockdown down-regulated the expression of most studied genes and modified their hypoxic regulation and that these changes possibly contributed to the suppression of glioma growth in cells without IRE1 signaling enzyme function.展开更多

Using coumarin-6 as a fluorescence probe, we prepared H7K（R2）2-modified p H-sensitive liposomes（designated as coumarin-6-PSL-H7K（R2）2）. The flow cytometry assay was used to evaluate the effect of H7K（R2）2 proportions on the cellular uptake and endocytosis pathways of coumarin--6--PSL--H7K（R2）2 on U87-MG cells. The circular dichroism（CD） spectroscopy assay was used to investigate the secondary structures of H7K（R2）2 peptide at pH 7.4 and H 6.8, respectively. Our results indicated that the 2.5% proportion of H7K（R2）2 in the coumarin-6--PSL-H7K（R2）2 was superior to those of 1% and 3.5% of H7K（R2）2. The uptake of coumarin--6-PSL--H7K（R2）2 on U87--MG cells was not inhibited by filipin, M-β--CD or chlorpromazine. The secondary structure of H7K（R2）2 at pH 6.8 was mostly presented as β--turn. In conclusion, we suggested that the appropriate proportion of H7K（R2）2 in the H7K（R2）2--modified pH--sensitive liposomes could be set at 2.5%. The cellular uptake pathway for H7K（R2）2-modified pH--sensitive liposomes was via the cell penetrating capacity of H7K（R2）2 which responded to acidic condition. The secondary structure of H7K（R2）2 at pH 6.8, which was presented as the shape of hairpin, might be mainly responsible for its targeting and cell penetrating effect.展开更多
