METHODS: We analyzed the presence of SP cells indifferent human gastric carcinoma cell lines, and then isolated and identified the SP cells from the KATO Ⅲ human gastric cancer cell line by flow cytometry. The clonogenic ability and self-renewal were evaluated by clone and sphere formation assays. The related genes were determined by reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction. To compare tumorigenic ability, SP and non-side population (NSP) cells from the KATO Ⅲ human gastric cancer cell line were subcutaneously injected into nude mice. RESULTS: SP cells from the total population accounted for 0.57% in KATO Ⅲ, 1.04% in Hs-746T, and 0.02% in AGS (CRL-1739). SP cells could grow clonally and have self-renewal capability in conditioned media. The expression of ABCG2, MDRI, Bmi-1 and Oct-4 was different between SP and NSP cells. However, there was no apparent difference between SP and NSP cells when they were injected into nude mice. CONCLUSION: SP cells have some cancer stem celllike characteristics in vitro and can be used for studying the tumorigenic process in gastric cancer.展开更多

为了探讨多聚AFPⅢ的作用机制,从南极鱼Lycodichthys dearborni的多聚三型抗冻蛋白基因LD12 c DNA中克隆得到AFPⅢ的四聚体,命名为LD4,并构建真核表达质粒Tol2-actin-LD4-2A-EGFP。将表达质粒转染到斑马鱼细胞系ZF4中,发现LD4可以在ZF4...为了探讨多聚AFPⅢ的作用机制,从南极鱼Lycodichthys dearborni的多聚三型抗冻蛋白基因LD12 c DNA中克隆得到AFPⅢ的四聚体,命名为LD4,并构建真核表达质粒Tol2-actin-LD4-2A-EGFP。将表达质粒转染到斑马鱼细胞系ZF4中,发现LD4可以在ZF4中大量表达并且能够减少斑马鱼细胞在低温胁迫下的死亡率。通过对不同处理温度(28、18、10℃)下的WT、EGFP和LD4细胞进行转录组测序分析,找出26个表达差异转录因子,其中I3MB13、ZNF687b等表达上调,JUN、Cremb等表达下调,并且通过荧光定量PCR的验证。通过KEGG pathway分析发现,这些差异性基因主要参与细胞凋亡、细胞周期、增殖等调节通路。采用Annexin V-PE/7-AAD双染色法对3种不同温度下的WT、EGFP和LD4细胞进行细胞凋亡检测,结果显示,LD4在低温下与对照组相比凋亡率没有显著差异,说明LD4可能是通过其他通路而不是通过抑制细胞凋亡来抵御低温胁迫,这为LD4作用机制的进一步研究提供了理论基础。展开更多
