Ultraviolet B （UVB） radiation has been shown to inhibit phosphatase and tensin homolog deleted on chromosome 10 （PTEN） expression in HaCaT cells through an unknown mechanism. In this study, we investigated whether miR-141 can regulate UVB exposure-mediated inhibition of PTEN expression. Real-time RT-PCR, annexin V/fluorescein isothiocyanate staining, Western blotting and anti-miRNA oligonucleotide transfection were employed in this study. We found that upregulation of miR-141 expression after UVB irradiation was inversely correlated with PTEN expression levels in HaCaT cells. Furthermore, miR-141 expression increased apoptosis, while anti-miR-141 partly restored PTEN expression and reversed the pro-apoptosis effect of UVB. UVB suppresses the expression of PTEN by upregulating miR-141 in HaCaT cells. Therefore, miR-141 is a potential gene therapy target for UVB-induced photodamage.展开更多

Methods：HaCaT cells were cultured with different concentration of Oxymatrine（10 μ g/ml, 50 μ g/ ml and 100 μg/ml） for 24 h, then 10.5 mol/L Substance P was added to the cells. After 30 min, NF-K B expression in the cells was observed by immunocytochemistry, NF-K B P65 protein expression was evaluated by Western blot, and the mRNA expression of NF-K B P65 was evaluated by reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction（RT-PCR）. The 10.5 mol/L Substance P and culture medium were added to the Substance P group and control group, respectively. Results：In control group, expression rate of positive cells, the expressions of protein and mRNA of NF-K B were all low. In Substance P group, when 10μ mol/L Substance P was added, the expressions were all increased（P 〈 0.05）. But in Oxymatrine groups, the expression rate of positive cells, the expressions of protein and mRNA were all descended in a concentration-dependent manner（P 〈 0.05 or P 〈 0.01）. Conclusion：Oxymatrine can down-regulate the expression of NF-K B of the HaCaT cells and may play an important role in regulating anti-inflammation and immunity.展开更多

Methods： HaCaT cells were treated with different doses of acitretin for 48 h, then the changes on the transcription of FGF10 mRNA and the translation of FGF10 protein in these cells were detected by immunofluorescence and in situ hybridization assay. Results： Compared with the control group, the transcription of FGF10 mRNA and the translation of FGF10 protein were gradually decreased along with the increasing dose of aeitretin. There were significant differences between different groups （P〈0.01）. Conclusion： Aeitretin could inhibit the transcription of FGF10 mRNA and the translation of FGF10 protein in HaCaT cells. With the dose of aeitretin increased, the stains of both FGF10 mRNA and FGF10 protein in HaCaT cells are reduced.展开更多

Its impact on skin integrity, associated with increased occurrence of atopic dermatitis, is now recognized, but its cellular mechanisms remain poorly understood. <strong>Objective:</strong> In the present study we aimed at establishing the impact of urban pollutant on mitochondrial dynamics and bioenergetics using the HaCaT cell model. We also sought to establish the protective effect of ECH-5195 (red <em>Panax ginseng</em> extract), standardized in ginsenosides, in reversing pollution-induced mitochondrial defects. <strong>Methods:</strong> Urban pollution exposure was mimicked by 1 h exposure of HaCaT cells with standardized atmospheric particulate matter containing PAHs, nitro-PAHs, PCB congeners, and chlorinated pesticides with a mean particulate diameter of 5.85 μm (SRM1648). <strong>Results:</strong> The presence of urban pollutant in the cultures increased the prevalence of hyperfission by 1.41-fold (p = 0.023) and fission by 1.35 fold (p = 0.006) in the reticular mitochondrial network. ECH-5195 reduced both pollution-induced hyperfission by 0.54-fold (p = 0.004) and fission by 0.68-fold (p = 0.0006) normalizing the mitochondrial reticular network. Pollution exposure was associated with a significant reduction of basal OCR and increased lactate production, pushing the cell to rely on glycolysis for ATP production. When ECH-5195 was used, OCR was significantly increased, and the glycolytic contribution to ATP production was reduced while both oxidative phosphorylation and mitochondrial respiration were increased demonstrating mitochondrial re-engagement in ATP production. <strong>Conclusions:</strong> Pollution exposure was disruptive for both the mitochondrial network dynamics and mitochondrial respiration. Ginsenosides in ECH-5195 efficiently protected both from pollution-induced defects.展开更多
