METHODS： Total proteins from human hepatocarcinoma cell line SMMC-7721 were separated by two-dimensional electrophoresis （2DE）. The silver-stained gel was analyzed by 2DE software Image Master 2D Elite. Interesting protein spots were identified by peptide mass fingerprinting based on matrix-assisted laser desorption/ ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry （MALDI-TOF-MS） and database searching. RESULTS： We obtained protein profile of human hepatocarcinoma cell line SMMC-7721. Among the twenty-one successfully identified proteins, mitofilin, endoplasmic reticulum protein ERp29, ubiquinol-cytochrome C reductase complex core protein I, peroxisomal enoyl CoA hydratase, peroxiredoxin-4 and probable 3-oxoacid CoA transferase 1 precursor were the six novel proteins identified in human hepatocarcinoma cells or tissues. Specific functions of the identified heat-shock proteins were analyzed in detail, and the results suggested that these proteins might promote tumorigenesis via inhibiting cell death induced by several cancer-related stresses or via inhibiting apoptosis at multiple points in the apoptotic signal pathway. Other identified chaperones and cancer-related proteins were also analyzed.CONCLUSION： Based on the protein profile of SMMC-7721 cells, functional analysis suggests that the identified chaperones and cancer-related proteins have their own pathways to contribute to the tumorigenesis, tumor growth and metastasis of liver cancer. Furthermore, proteomic analysis is indicated to be feasible in the cancer study.展开更多
There was no detectable expression of c-fos,but a little c-myc,high c-fms and mederate high IGF-ⅡmRNA in the untreated human hepatocarcinoma cell SMMC- 7721.After treatment with 10 μmol/L retinoic acid or 0.5 mmol/L...There was no detectable expression of c-fos,but a little c-myc,high c-fms and mederate high IGF-ⅡmRNA in the untreated human hepatocarcinoma cell SMMC- 7721.After treatment with 10 μmol/L retinoic acid or 0.5 mmol/L dibutyryl cyclic-3',5'adenosine monophosphate(db-cAMP),the c-fos was transiently expressed within 20- 60mins.If the treatment of RA or db-cAMP prolonged to 1-5 days, the transcriptions of c- myc were increased,reaching the highest level on the 2nd and 4th day.Simultaneously the transcriptions of c- fms and IGF- Ⅱwere gradually decreased.On the 5th day of the treatment,c-fms and IGF-ⅡmRNA were decreased to 32% and 14%respectively of the control (untreated cell) value by RA,and 35% and 22%respectively by db-cAMP.The biological significance of the above mentioned results was discussed.展开更多
