It plays an important role in the growth, amplification, apoptosis, signal transduction, and other crucial life activities of cells. A eDNA encoding a putative 14-3-3 protein was isolated from cotton fiber eDNA library. The eDNA, designated as Gh14-3-3L （Gossypium hirsutum 14-3-3-like）, is 1,029 bp in length （including a 762 bp long open reading frame and 5＇-/3＇-untranslated regions） and deduced a protein with 253 amino acids. The GhI4-3-3L shares higher homology with the known plant 14-3-3 proteins, and possesses the basic structure of 14-3-3 proteins： one dimeric domain, one phosphoralated-serine rich motif, four CC domains, and one EF Hand motif. Northern blotting analysis showed that Gh14-3-3L was predominantly expressed during early fiber development, and reached to the peak of expression in 10 days post anthers （DPA） fiber cells, suggesting that the gene may be involved in regulating fiber elongation. The gene is also expressed at higher level in both ovule and petal, but displays lower or undeteetable level of activity in other tissues of cotton.展开更多

Methods pcDNA3.1（＋）-14-3-3 plasmids, which could be expressed in mammalian cell, were constructed and transfected into PC 12 cells with Lipofectamine 2000. The expression of 14-3-3 protein, Bcl-2 protein, and BAD protein were determined by western blot. 3-（4,5- dimethylthiazol-2-yl）-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide （MTT） assay, microplate reader, and flow cytometric analysis were used to measure cell viability, the caspase activity, and apoptotic ratio respectively. Results （1） The expression of 14-3-3 protein increased significantly three weeks after pcDNA3.1（＋）-14-3-3 plasmids transfected into PC 12 cells. （2） MPP^＋ caused a decrease of cell viability in a dose-dependent manner. At 100μmol/L MPP^＋, cell viability reduced approximately 50%. （3） The caspase activity increased along with the MPP^＋ concentrations rising and reached its maximum value （0.34 μmol/mg protein） at 100 μmol/L MPP＊. However caspase activity decreased significantly when the MPP^＋ concentration exceeded 100 μmol/L. （4） Overexpression of 14-3-3 protein decreased the apoptosis ratio of PC 12 cells treated with 100μmol/L MPP^＋ from 26.5% to 8.6%. （5） Bcl-2 protein tended to decrease but BAD protein tended to increase after treatment of PC 12 cells with 100 μmol/L MPP^＋. Overexpression of 14-3-3 protein significantly increased the cellular level of Bcl-2 protein and decreased that of BAD protein. Conclusion Overexpression of 14-3-3 protein may reduce MPP^＋-induced apoptotic cell death in PC12 cells by up-regulating the Bcl-2 expression and down-regulating the BAD expression. These results may provide a promising target for treatment of Parkinson＇s disease.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

Aberrant CpG methylation of specificpromoters results in inactivation of tumor suppressor genes and therefore plays an important role in carcinogenesis. Thep53-regulated gene 14-3-3σ undergoes frequent epigenetic silencing in several types of cancer, including carcinoma ofthe breast, prostate, and skin, suggesting that the loss of 14-3-3σ expression may be causally involved in tumor progression.Functional studies demonstrated that 14-3-3σ is involved in cell-cycle control and prevents the accumulation of chro-mosomal damage. The recent identification of novel 14-3-3σ-associated proteins by a targeted proteomics approachimplies that 14-3-3σ regulates diverse cellular processes, which may become deregulated after silencing of 14-3-3σexpression in cancer cells.展开更多

Little isknown about the consequences of these interactions, and thus are the subjects of ongoing studies. 14-3-3 controls cellcycle, cell growth, differentiation, survival, apoptosis, migration and spreading. Recent studies have revealed newmechanisms and new functions of 14-3-3, giving us more insights on this fascinating and complex family of proteins.Of all the seven isoforms, 14-3-3σ seems to be directly involved in human cancer. 14-3-3σ itself is subject to regulationby p53 upon DNA damage and by epigenetic deregulation. Gene silencing of 14-3-3σ by CpG methylation has beenfound in many human cancer types. This suggests that therapy-targeting 14-3-3σ may be beneficial for future cancertreatment.展开更多

However it is not well understood how these actin binding proteins are modulated in a physiological condition by their interaction proteins. In this study, we describe that Arabidopsis 14-3-3 λ protein interacted with actin depolymerizing factor 1(ADF1) in plant to regulate F-actin stability and dynamics. Loss of 14-3-3 λin Arabidopsis resulted in longer etiolated hypocotyls in dark and changed actin cytoskeleton architecture in hypocotyl cells. Overexpression of ADF1 repressed 14-3-3 λ mutant hypocotyl elongation and actin dynamic phenotype. In addition, the phosphorylation level of ADF1 was increased and the subcellular localization of ADF1 was altered in 14-3-3 λ mutant. Consistent with these observations, the actin filaments were more stable in 14-3-3 λ mutant. Our results indicate that 14-3-3 λ protein mediates F-actin dynamics possibly through inhibiting ADF1 phosphorylation in vivo.展开更多
