Objective To explore the enhanced effect of miR-199a-3p on radiotherapy sensitivity of glioma U251 by the targeting p21 protein activated kinase 4 (PAK4).Methods Human malignant glioma U251 was chosen for study.Following culture and radiation of the harvested cells,RT-PCR was used to detect the expression level of miR-199a-3p in the glioma tissues and cells of U251,CCK-8,cloning formation assay and flow cytometry were used to detect the effects of miR-199a-3p/PAK4 on the proliferation,cloning formation and apoptosis of glioma U251 cells when treated with irradiation.Results As compared with the U251 cells without radiation,the expression level of miR-199a-3p in the irradiated glioma tissues was lower(P < 0.05).The overexpression of miR-199a-3p could reduce the growth and clonal formation of U251 cells,and promoted cell apoptosis,when treated with 4 Gy-irradiation.Statistical significance could be noted,when comparisons were made between them(P < 0.05 or P < 0.01) MiR-199a-3p could inhibit the expression of PAK4 by direct binding to the 3'UTR of PAK4.Moreover,the overexpression of PAK4 could significantly weaken the roles of miR-199a-3p in the inhibition of U251 cell activity.Conclusion This study has demonstrated that miR-199a-3p could enhance the radiosensitivity of glioma by inhibiting the expression of PAK4.
The combination of Endostatin (ES) and Herpes Simplex Virus thymidine kinase (HSV-TK) gene therapy is known to have antitumor activity in bladder cancer. The potential effect of ES and TK therapy in glioma has not yet been investigated. In this study, pTK-internal ribosome entry site (IRES), pIRES-ES, and pTK-IRES-ES plasmids were constructed; pIRES empty vector served as the negative control. The recombinant constructs were transfected into human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) ECV304 and C6 rat glioma cell line. Ganciclovir (GCV) was used to induce cell death in transfected C6 cells. We found that ECV304 cells expressing either ES or TK-ES showed reduced proliferation, decreased migration capacity, and increased apoptosis, as compared to untransfected cells or controls. pTK-IRES-ES/GCV or pTK-IRES/GCV significantly suppressed cell proliferation and induced cell apoptosis in C6 cells, as compared to the control. In addition, the administration of pIRES-ES, pTK-IRES/GCV, or pTK-IRES-ES/GCV therapy improved animal activity and behavior; was associated with prolonged animal survival, and a lower microvessel density (MVD) value in tumor tissues of C6 glioma rats. In comparison to others, dual gene therapy in form of pTK-IRES-ES/GCV had a significant antitumor activity against C6 glioma. These findings indicate combined TK and ES gene therapy was associated with a superior antitumor efficacy as compared to single gene therapy in C6 glioma.
Overexpression of leukemia/lymphoma-related factor (LRF), which is an erythroid myeloid ontogenic factor protein, occurs in different cancers, including glioma. LRF is also reported to have an oncogenic activity in various human cancers. This study investigated the effect of LRF knockdown on the regulation of glioma growth. LRF short hairpin RNA (shRNA) suppressed the expression of LRF protein in a glioma cell line (GL261-EGFP) compared to the negative control vector-transfected glioma cells. LRF knockdown also reduced glioma cell viability and enhanced cisplatin-induced apoptosis in glioma cells. AKT activation and the expression of various cell cycle-related genes were inhibited following LRF knockdown. The effect on growth and migration is related to dose response results of AKT and nuclear factor-kappa B (NF-κB) inhibitors. These data demonstrate that LRF may play a role in glioma progression, suggesting that inhibition of LRF expression using LRF shRNA should be further evaluated as a novel target for the control of glioma.
颅内动脉瘤(intracranial aneurysm,IAN)是颅内动脉先天发育异常或后天损伤等因素造成局部血管壁受损,在血流的冲击及各种因素的作用下形成的脑血管瘤样突起。研究表明,亚洲人群中颅内动脉瘤患病率约为2.5%-3%。据统计颅内动脉瘤破裂率为3%-6%,约2/3的蛛网膜下腔出血是由IAN破裂造成的[1-3]。IAN破裂出血死亡率和致残率极高,其中,10%-15%尚未来及就医直接死亡。
