Spinal cord injury (SCI) is a severe neurological disorder and the molecular mechanisms leading to its poor prognosis remain to be elucidated. S100A1, a mediator of Ca2+ handling of sarcoplasmic reticulum and mitochondrial function, operates as an endogenous danger signal (alarmin) associated with inflammatory response and tissue injury. The aim of the present study was to investigate the expression and biological effects of S100A1 in SCI. A rat model of SCI and a PC12 cell model of lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced inflammation were established to examine S100A1 expression at the mRNA and protein levels. The inflammation level, which was mediated by S100A1, was determined based on inflammatory factor (IL-1 beta, IL-6 and TNF-alpha) and anti-inflammatory factor (IL-10) expression. The effects of S100A1 on cellular oxidation and anti-oxidation levels were observed by detecting the levels of reactive oxygen species, superoxide dismutase, catalase activities and nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 expression. The protein levels of Bax, Bcl2 and cleaved caspase-3 were used for the evaluation of the effects of S100A1 on apoptosis. Phosphorylated (p-)ERK1/2 expression was used to evaluate the effects of S100A1 on ERK signaling. The results revealed that S100A1 expression was significantly upregulated in vivo and in vitro in the PC12 cell model of LPS-inflammation. The silencing and overexpression of S100A1 helped alleviate and aggravate LPS-induced inflammation, oxidative stress and apoptosis levels, respectively. S100A1 was found to regulate the ERK signaling pathway positively. An inhibitor of ERK signaling (MK-8353) partially abolished the promoting effects of the overexpression of S100A1 on inflammation, oxidative stress damage and apoptosis. In conclusion, S100A1 expression was elevated in model of SCI and in the PC12 cell model of LPS-induced inflammation. Furthermore, the overexpression/silencing S100A1 aggravated/mitigated the inflammation, oxidative stress damage and the apoptosis of LPS-stimulated PC12 cells via the ERK signaling pathway. The present study revealed the mechanism of S100A1 in SCI, which provided a new theoretic reference for future research on SCI.
Nowadays, there is a serious lack of information about the value-added apoptosis of sarcoma cells in China. Especially in clinical medicine, exploring the effect of ibuprofen on the growth and apoptosis of fibrosarcoma cells under the PI3K/Akt/mTOR signaling pathway can not only effectively prevent us in advance, but also be a great way to break through this field. The main purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of ibuprofen on the proliferation, cell cycle and apoptosis of fibrosarcoma cells through the PI3K/Akt/mTOR signaling pathway. We divided the HTl080 cell line into zero control group, control group and experimental group. The withering group was not inoculated with any cells, while the control group was only added with the same amount of culture medium, while the experimental group was added with 5,10,15,20 concentrations respectively. We found that the apoptosis rate of sarcoma cells in the control group increased from 5.66% to 7.12%, while the apoptosis rate of sarcoma cells in the experimental group increased significantly faster than that in the control group, with an overall increase of 7.16%, from 4.56% to 11.72%. Therefore, we can be surer that ibuprofen has a very good inhibitory effect on the proliferation, cell cycle and apoptosis of fibrosarcoma cells under the PI3K/Akt/mTOR signaling pathway. Therefore, when ibuprofen was injected into the body, it could not only observe the sarcoma cells well but also reflect the good inhibitory effect of ibuprofen on other substances in vivo under the PI3K/Akt/mTOR signaling pathway.
Osteosarcoma is an aggressive cancer of the skeletal system, which is associated with a poor prognosis due to the high recurrence rate. Although previous studies have revealed that competitive endogenous RNAs (ceRNAs) are involved in various biological processes in the physiology and development of osteosarcoma, the roles of ceRNAs in osteosarcoma recurrence remain largely unexplored. The present study constructed a ceRNA-ceRNA network for osteosarcoma by systematically integrating matched expression profiles for microRNAs (miRNAs/miRs) and mRNAs, and identified two ceRNA-mediated modules that were associated with recurrence in patients with osteosarcoma. A multivariate Cox regression analysis demonstrated that the recurrence-free prognosis associated with the expression of the two modules was independent of other clinical factors. In addition, hsa-miR-335-3p was identified as an upstream regulating factor for both modules. In conclusion, the results of the present study suggested that ceRNAs may act as potential therapeutic biomarkers for predicting the recurrence of osteosarcoma, and may help to identify patients with osteosarcoma at a high risk of recurrence, who may benefit from adjuvant therapy.
