Mot-2 overexpressing stable clones of NIH 3T3 cells were malignantly transformed, however, they had a high level of expression of a p53 downstream gene, p21WAF1. The present study was undertaken to elucidate possible molecular mechanism(s) of such upregulation. An inCreased level of p21WAF1, expression was detected in sta- ble transfectants although an exogenous reporter gene driven by p21WAF1, promoter exhibited lower activity in these cells suggesting that some post-transcriptional mechanism contributes to upregulation. Western analyses of transient and stable clones revealed that upregulation of p21WAF1, in stable NIH 3T3/mot-2 cells may be mediated by cyclin D1 and cdk-2.展开更多

The expression of p53 incondyloma acuminatum infected by HPV16/18 wassignificantly lower than that in specimens infected byHPV6/11.However, expression of p21^(WAF1) between the twogroups was not significantly different. Expression of p53 incondyloma acuminatum is likely related to HPV genotype,exoression of p21^(WAF1) was not related to HPV genotype.展开更多

Methods The viability and apoptosis of PC 12 cells were determinded by 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide (MTT) assay and 4′,6′-diamidino-2-phenylindole (DAPI) staining, respectively. The expressions of 14-3-3 protein and phospholylated p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) were determined by Western blot. Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) was used to measure the activity of extracellular signal-regulated protein kinase 1/2 (ERK1/2). Results The cell viability decreased and the number of apoptotic cells increased dramatically in MPP^+ group compared with that in Control group. HPP induced a significant increase in cell viability and a marked decrease in population of apoptotic cells of the MPP^+- treated PC 12 cells, accompanied with up-regulation of 14-3-3 protein and increase of ERK 1/2 and p38 MAPK activities. The 14-3-3 protein expression was positively correlated with the phosphorylation of ERK1/2. Furthermore, inhibition of the ERK1/2 with PD98059 abolished the 14-3-3 protein up-regulation in PC 12 cells induced by HPP. Conclusion HPP protects PC 12 cells against MPP+ toxicity by up-regulating 14-3-3 protein expression through the ERK1/2 and p38 MAPK signaling pathways.展开更多
