Expression Level of u-PAR in Different Invasive PC-3M Cell Subclones

Objective: To select a target molecule associated with invasive potential in PC-3M cell. Methods: Cell subclones were isolated from PC-3M cell line with the method of limited dilution and their invasive ability characterized by monolayer invasion assay. The expression of u-PAR in the cell subclones at mRNA and protein levels was assayed respectively by non-competitive quantitative RT-PCR and immunohistochemical assay. Results: The expression level of u-PAR in highly invasive cell subclones was higher than that of lower invasive subclones. Conclusion: The higher expression level of u-PAR is associated with the relative strong invasive ability of PC-3M subclones. It is indicated that the u-PAR might be a promising target molecule for inhibiting invasion of highly invasive PC-3M cell subclones.

MICROARRAY ANALYSIS OF DIFFERENT GENE EXPRESSION OF HUMAN CERVICAL CANCER SUBCLONE CELL LINES

Objective To examine the differentially expressed invasion-related genes in two anchorage-independent uterine cervical carcinoma cell lines derived from the same patient using a cDNA array. Methods Two human uterine cervical carcinoma subclonal cell lines CS03 and CS07 derived from a single donor line CS1213 were established by limited dilution procedure. The two cDNA samples retro-transcribed from total RNA derived from CS03 and CS07 cells were screened by a cDNA microarray carrying 234 human cell-cycle related genes and 1011 human signal transduction and membrane receptor-associated genes, scanned with a ScanArray 3000 laser scanner. Results The cDNA microarray analysis showed that 12 genes in CS03 were up-regulated compared to CS07, and 24 genes in CS07 were up-regulated. The function of a number of differentially expressed genes was consistently associated with cell-cycle, cell proliferation, migration, apoptosis, signal transduction and tumor metastasis, including p34 cdc2 , TSC22, plasminogen activator inhibitor I (PAI-1)and desmosome associated protein(Pinin). Conclusion Multiple genes are differentially expressed in uterine cervical carcinoma cell lines even came from the same patient. It is suggested that these genes are involved in the different phenotypic characteristics and development of cervical carcinoma.

Hunting down the dominating subclone of cancer stem cells as a potential new therapeutic target in multiple myeloma: An artificial intelligence perspective

The development of single-cell subclones,which can rapidly switch from dormant to dominant subclones,occur in the natural pathophysiology of multiple myeloma(MM)but is often"pressed"by the standard treatment of MM.These emerging subclones present a challenge,providing reservoirs for chemoresistant mutations.Technological advancement is required to track MM subclonal changes,as understanding MM's mechanism of evolution at the cellular level can prompt the development of new targeted ways of treating this disease.Current methods to study the evolution of subclones in MM rely on technologies capable of phenotypically and genotypically characterizing plasma cells,which include immunohistochemistry,flow cytometry,or cytogenetics.Still,all of these technologies may be limited by the sensitivity for picking up rare events.In contrast,more incisive methods such as RNA sequencing,comparative genomic hybridization,or whole-genome sequencing are not yet commonly used in clinical practice.Here we introduce the epidemiological diagnosis and prognosis of MM and review current methods for evaluating MM subclone evolution,such as minimal residual disease/multiparametric flow cytometry/next-generation sequencing,and their respective advantages and disadvantages.In addition,we propose our new single-cell method of evaluation to understand MM's mechanism of evolution at the molecular and cellular level and to prompt the development of new targeted ways of treating this disease,which has a broad prospect.

Different responses of HepG2 subclones to low dose ethaselen

As a synthesized antineoplastic organoselenium compound, ethaselen is known to induce apoptosis in tumor cells via dose-dependent thioredoxin reductase （TrxR） inhibition. Thioredoxin, the multifunctional biological substrate of TrxR, is then left in the oxidized state, which subsequently leads to intracellular accumulation of reactive oxygen species （ROS）, cell cycle arrest and/or apoptosis. However, the low dose effect of ethaselen remains largely unknown. Several subclones have been derived from HepG2 cells by using single cell or colony isolation. The low dose of ethaselen was defined as the drug concentration of retaining 〉90% HepG2 cells alive. The HepG2 cells were used as reference of its subclones （SM01, SM02 and SM03）, and the cell cycle transition, intracellular proteins change, colony formation and sphere growth were assayed in treatment of low dose ethaselen. HepG2 and its subclones differently responded to lethal dose of cisplatin or 5-fluorouracil. Low dose of ethaselen （1 μm） modulated the cell cycle transition at 12 h of treatment, but ceils were partially recovered at 24 h of treatment though some proteins were still affected. Low dose of ethaselen did not inhibit the small colony （diameter 〉 100 μm） formation and sphere growth of HepG2 and SM01. However, low dose of ethaselen could specifically inhibit the survival, large colony （diameter 〉500 μm） formation and sphere growth of SM03, although SM03 could be rapidly recovered from ethaselen-induced cell cycle check. HepG2 and its subclone cells could survive but respond differently to treatment of low dose ethaselen （1 μM）. Low dose of ethaselen could significantly inhibit a HepG2 subclone （SM03） in cell survival and colony growth.

EXPRESSING HUMAN MATURED BRAIN-DERIVED NEUROTROPHIC FACTOR GENE IN E.Coli AND DETERMINING ITS BIOACTIVITY

Objective Expressing the human matured brain-derived neurotrophic factor (mBDNF) gene in E. Coli and determining its bioactivity. Methods The resulting gene of mBDNF was subcloned into the EcoRI-BamHI site or the expression vector plasmid pBV220. The ligation products were used to transform the competent E. Coli DH5a. The proteins or mBDNF were experessed by temperature inducing. The expression products were dealed with solubilizing inclusion bodies and refolding protein. It was introduced into the embryonic chicken DRG to test whether the expressed mBDNF is a biologically active protein. Results The recombinant plasmid pBV/mBDNF was success- fully constructed. By temperature inducing, under the control of the bacteriophage λPL promoter, the experessed mBDNF protein was a 14Kd non-fusion protein,which existed in E. Coli as inclusion bodies. The size or expressed mBDNF is identical to the prediction. Bioactivity of the products was proved that it could support the cell survival and neurite growth in the primary cultures of embryonic 8-day-old chicken DRG neurons as compared to control. Conclusion Tke mBDNF gene can be expressed bioactively in E. Coli.
