Sonic hedgehog elevates N-myc gene expression in neural stem cells

Proliferation of neural stem cells is regulated by the secreted signaling molecule sonic hedgehog. In this study, neural stem cells were infected with recombinant adeno-associated virus expressing sonic hedgehog-N-enhanced green fluorescent protein. The results showed that overexpression of sonic hedgehog in neural stem cells induced the increased expression of Gill and N-myc, a target gene of sonic hedgehog. These findings suggest that N-myc is a direct downstream target of the sonic hedgehog signal pathway in neural stem cells. Sonic hedgehog and N-myc are important mediators of sonic hedgehog-induced proliferation of neural stem cells.

c-Myc Knockout as a Model for Gene Editing for Training Healthcare Professional Students

Correction of genetic errors, commonly known as gene editing, holds promise to treat diseases with unmet medical needs. However, gene therapy trials do encounter unwanted outcomes, because of an incomplete understanding of the disease states, and gene therapy processes, among others. This situation encourages a concept that healthcare professionals receiving laboratory research training will not only identify inadequacies in basic biomedical knowledge of gene therapies but also provide tangible refinements. To this end, we have undertaken the PharmD student training in gene editing in a basic research laboratory setting. As a model, MYC gene was chosen for knockout using CRISPR-Cas9 method in HT29 and OVCAR8 cells. Students were involved in the design of MYC-specific gRNAs, subcloning into Cas9-carrying plasmid, and selection of knockout clones from the transfected cells. Subsequently, genomic DNA isolation and sequencing, analysis of clonal DNA sequences using online bioinformatics tools, western blotting, cell proliferation and cell division cycle experiments, were performed to characterize the MYC knockout clones. Results presented in this communication suggest that healthcare professionals who received laboratory training gain a better understanding of the disease states and mechanisms, gene therapy protocols, limitations of gene therapies, ability to critically evaluate the literature and confidence in the oversight of gene therapies in the clinic.

Expression of telomerase hTERT in human non-small cell lung cancer and its correlation with c-myc gene

Objective To investigate the expression of human telomerase catalytic subunit,hTERT, in human non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) and its correlations to c-myc gene.Methods hTERT and c-myc mRNA expressions were detected by semiquantitative reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR). Statistical correlation analysis was made to estimate whether there was interrelation between them.Results Positive rate of hTERT expression in 51 surgically resected lung cancer specimens was 86.3%,significantly higher than that in adjacent non-neoplastic lung tissues and benign lesions,which were 14.3% and 27.3% respectively. No statistical significance was observed between the frequency of hTERT expression and histologic types,degree of differentiation,TNM stages,tumor size or lymph nodes metastases. Correlation analysis revealed that the expression of c-myc gene was significantly related to that of hTERT (correlation coefficient,r =0.633,P <0.001).Conclusions hTERT may be a useful tumor marker in diagnosing lung cancer. Significant correlation between the expression of hTERT and c-myc mRNA indicates that the activation and up-regulation of hTERT might be conferred by over-expression of c-myc gene.

Gene expression profiling of MYC-driven tumor signatures in porcine liver stem cells by transcriptome sequencing

AIM:To identify the genes induced and regulated by the MYC protein in generating tumors from liver stem cells.METHODS:In this study,we have used an immortal porcine liver stem cell line,PICM-19,to study the role of c-MYC in hepatocarcinogenesis.PICM-19 cells were converted into cancer cells(PICM-19-CSCs)by overexpressing human MYC.To identify MYC-driven differential gene expression,transcriptome sequencing was carried out by RNA sequencing,and genes identified by this method were validated using real-time PCR.In vivo tumorigenicity studies were then conducted by injecting PICM-19-CSCs into the flanks of immunodeficient mice.RESULTS:Our results showed that MYC-overexpressing PICM-19 stem cells formed tumors in immunodeficient mice demonstrating that a single oncogene was sufficient to convert them into cancer cells(PICM-19-CSCs).By using comparative bioinformatics analyses,we have determined that>1000 genes were differentially expressed between PICM-19 and PICM-19-CSCs.Gene ontology analysis further showed that the MYCinduced,altered gene expression was primarily associated with various cellular processes,such as metabolism,cell adhesion,growth and proliferation,cell cycle,inflammation and tumorigenesis.Interestingly,six genes expressed by PICM-19 cells(CDO1,C22orf39,DKK2,ENPEP,GPX6,SRPX2)were completely silenced after MYC-induction in PICM-19-CSCs,suggesting that the absence of these genes may be critical for inducingtumorigenesis.CONCLUSION:MYC-driven genes may serve as promising candidates for the development of hepatocellular carcinoma therapeutics that would not have deleterious effects on other cell types in the liver.

Expression and Biological Function of N-myc Down-regulated Gene 1 in Human Cervical Cancer

The expression of N-myc down-regulated gene 1 (NDRG1) has previously been reported to be involved in the proliferation,differentiation,invasion and metastasis of cancer cells,but its role in cervical cancer is still unclear.This study aimed to investigate the expression of NDRG1gene in human cervical cancer and its effect on aggressive tumor behaviors.The NDRG1 expression in cervical tissues and cells was detected by RT-PCR.Specific expression plasmid pEGFP-N1-NDRG1-GFP was used to enhance the expression of NDRG1 in human cervical cancer cell lines.The mRNA and protein level of NDRG1 was assessed by RT-PCR and Western blotting,respectively.Its effects on cell proliferation,migration,invasion,cell cycle and apoptosis were detected by MTT,transwell migration assay and flow cytometry (FCM),respectively.The results showed that the expression of NDRG1 in cervical cancer tissues and cells was significantly lower than in normal cervical tissues (P【0.001).After transfection with pEGFP-N1-NDRG1-GFP,the mRNA and protein expression of NDRG1 was up-regulated in Siha cells,which suppressed cell proliferation (P【0.001),induced cell cycle arrest (P【0.05),reduced invasion and migration of Siha cells (P【0.05),but caused no cell apoptosis.Moreover,vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF),a tumor-induced angiogenesis factor,was markedly reduced and E-cadherin,a cell adhesion molecule,was increased in the cells transfected with pEGFP-N1-NDRG1-GFP.It was concluded that up-regulated NDRG1 may play a role in the suppression of malignant cell growth,invasion and metastasis of human cervical cancer.

Expressions of myc and ras gene in human hepatocellular carcinoma by applying the double hybridization in situ

Objective: To establish a method of non-isotope double in situ hybridization in order to detect the expression of two kinds of oncogenes at single cell level simultaneously, and confirm the hypothesis of 'model of stepwise carcinogenesis'. Methods: The method of non-isotope double in situ hybridization was established with the digoxigenin (Dig) and biotin(Bio) labelled probes. The expression of two members of oncogenes of the myc and/or ras gene families (myc and N-ras, myc and K-ras, myc and H-ras, N-ras and K-ras , N-ras and H-ras, K-ras and H-ras) was further studied with the method in 10 cases of Chinese Hepatocellular Carcinomas (HCC). Results : Co-expression of two kinds of oncogenes was detected only in a few cases, reflected by coshowing two different hybridization signals ,i. e. , co-showing of Dig-myc and Bio-H-ras, Dig-myc and Bio-N-ras, Dig-myc and Bio-K-ras was observed in 2 cases, 2 cases and one case, respectively. The common characteristics were that positive cells of myc distributed diffusely, while positive cells of ras diatributed sporadically or locally among the positive cells of myc, and only a few cells exhibited co-showing of two oncogenes at single cell level. There were only 2 cases representing co-showing of two oncogenes in ras gene family (Dig-N-ras and bio-H-ras, Dig-N-ras and Bio-K-ras , respectively). The two kinds of positive cells of different ras gene represented mixed local and sporadical distribution, and co-showing of two signals was found in a few cells at single cell level. Conclusion: There are multiple oncogenes involving in tumorigenesis by their ordered activation. The activation of the ras gene family plays a role in promotion, while the activation of myc is an important event in late stage of tumorigenesis

EXPRESSION OF c－myc GENE AND BIOSYNTHESIS OF BIOLOGICAL MACROMOLECULES IN ANTISENSE TRANSFECTANT HL_（60）~R－9

The recombinant plasmid PGC was constructed for transcription unit of c-myc gene with diorientation in vitro, to make RNA probes for detection of c-myc mRNA and antisence RNA expression of tranfectant HL-9,which was obtained from HL60 cells transfected with inducible c-myc antisense RNA expression plasmid. The results from HL-9 cells induced by Cd2+ indicated that expression of c-myc antisense RNA increased with Cd2+ concentration and exposure time, while c-myc mRNA expression progressively reduced. Using immunohistochemical technique no c-myc P62 protein expression was detected. The incorporation of 3H-TdR, 3H-UR and 3H-Leu revealed significant suppression of DNA, RNA and protein biosynthesis. It is suggested that the reversion changes previously reported in malignant Phenotypes of HL-9 cells and the inhibition of macromolecular biosynthesis mentioned above were associated with the blockade of c-myc gene expression by its antisense RNA.
