载脂蛋白CⅢ通过氧化应激通路促进人肾小球系膜细胞表型转分化

本研究旨在探讨富含甘油三酯的脂蛋白（triglyceride-rich lipoproteins, TRLs）中载脂蛋白CⅢ（apolipoprotein CⅢ, ApoCⅢ）的高表达对人肾小球系膜细胞（human mesangial cells, HMCs）表型转分化的作用及其机制。从正常野生型小鼠（WT）及ApoCⅢ转基因小鼠血浆中提取TRLs,在体外培养的HMCs中分别给予相同甘油三酯浓度的正常TRLs（TRL-WT）,或富含ApoCⅢ的TRLs（TRL-CⅢ）孵育12 h。结果显示,TRL-CⅢ中ApoCⅢ蛋白质表达水平约为WT小鼠TRLs的4倍。与阴性对照（NC）组相比,两种TRLs均可诱导HMCs中转分化标志物α-SMA及纤维化相关因子纤连蛋白、TGF-β1、CTGF、ColⅠ、Col Ⅳ的mRNA及α-SMA和纤连蛋白的蛋白质表达水平升高,且TRL-CⅢ较TRL-WT作用更明显。TRL-CⅢ组中,α-SMA及纤连蛋白蛋白质表达水平分别为TRL-WT组的1.4倍（P<0.05）和2.1倍（P<0.01）。与NC组相比,两种TRLs均可引起细胞内活性氧（reactive oxygen species, ROS）水平增加,且TRL-CⅢ组较TRL-WT组高1.5倍（P<0.05）;氧化应激相关因子Nox4、P22phox、PKC-β的mRNA及Nox4蛋白表达水平在两组均增高,且TRL-CⅢ较TRL-WT作用更为明显（P<0.05）。TRL-CⅢ组中,Nox4蛋白表达水平为TRL-WT组的1.6倍（P<0.01）。NADPH氧化酶抑制剂apocynin可使TRL-CⅢ引起的细胞内ROS水平下降约2倍（P<0.01）。上述转分化标志物及纤维化相关因子基因及蛋白质表达水平均明显下降。本研究表明,TRLs通过氧化应激通路促进HMCs表型转分化,ApoCⅢ的高表达进一步促进该作用。

该文旨在探讨鸦胆子油乳注射液(简称鸦胆子油乳)调节JAK2/STAT3信号通路对胰腺癌细胞上皮–间质转化(EMT)的影响。将胰腺癌AsPC-1细胞分为对照组、鸦胆子油乳低剂量组、鸦胆子油乳中剂量组、鸦胆子油乳高剂量组、鸦胆子油乳高剂量+Colivelin(JAK2/STAT3激活剂)组。该研究采用细胞划痕实验检测细胞迁移; Transwell实验检测细胞侵袭; MTT、EdU检测细胞增殖;流式细胞术检测细胞凋亡率; qRT-PCR检测细胞JAK2 mRNA、STAT3 mRNA表达; Western blot检测细胞JAK2/STAT3通路、E-cadherin、N-cadherin、Vimentin蛋白表达水平。结果显示,与对照组相比,鸦胆子油乳低、中、高剂量组细胞活力、增殖率、细胞划痕愈合率、侵袭细胞个数、JAK2mRNA、STAT3 mRNA、N-cadherin、Vimentin、p-JAK2/JAK2、p-STAT3/STAT3表达水平显著降低,细胞凋亡率和细胞E-cadherin表达水平显著升高(P<0.05)。与鸦胆子油乳高剂量组相比,鸦胆子油乳高剂量+Colive...     

PTPN9的表达下调通过抑制STAT3活化促进结直肠癌细胞凋亡

目的:探讨PTPN9对结直肠癌细胞生长和存活的影响及其机制。方法:建立稳定PTPN9高表达的细胞系,使用Real-timePCR检测其内源性变达,使用细胞集落实验及Caspase-3、Caspase-9,检测其细胞活力及凋亡情况。同时我们抑制了细胞中PTPN9的表达,使用实时PCR来验证敲低效率,应用100μM H_2O_2诱导凋亡模型,利用CCK-8测定来确定细胞活力,Caspase-9和Cas-pase-3测定检测其凋亡情况。最后我们应用Western blot技术,检测PTPN9抑制STAT3通路,来调控细胞凋亡。结果:PTPN9的表达在结直肠癌组织中下调。PTPN9的高表达减慢细胞生长和集落的形成,从而诱导结直肠癌细胞凋亡。相反,PTPN9低表达促进细胞生长和存活。此外,PTPN9负责调控STAT3的活化,并在结直肠癌中抑制核易位,并且通过抑制STAT3通路,来抑制PTPN9低表达对细胞凋亡的影响。结论:PTPN9在结直肠癌组织中通过抑制STAT3的活化而抑制细胞生长和存活。     

急性白血病细胞中JAK/STAT5和PI3K/AKT信号通路对eIF4B的协同调控作用

人类急性白血病(Acute leukemia,AL)是一类造血干细胞异常的克隆性恶性疾病。在临床上,急性白血病由于发病急、病程短等原因使其非常难以治愈。已有研究表明,慢性白血病的发生与真核转译起始因子4B(Eukaryotic initiation factor 4B,eIF4B)的活化密切相关,但是其在急性白血病发生中的作用尚不明确。为了探究eIF4B在急性白血病发生中的作用及其机理,利用PI3K抑制剂LY294002、AKT抑制剂AKTi以及Pim抑制剂SMI-4A特异性地分别阻断JAK/STAT5/Pim和PI3K/AKT/mTOR信号通路,检测这两条信号通路下游共同靶标分子eIF4B的磷酸化水平。研究发现,阻断一条信号通路可明显降低eIF4B的磷酸化水平,而同时阻断两条信号通路能够更为显著地降低eIF4B活性并以一种协同作用的方式诱导细胞发生凋亡。进一步通过检测细胞凋亡和裸鼠致瘤实验,发现干扰eIF4B表达抑制了急性白血病细胞的存活及其在裸鼠体内的肿瘤形成。此外,敲低eIF4B可显著降低抗凋亡蛋白Bcl-2和Bcl-XL的蛋白表达水平。综上所述,在急性白血病细胞中eIF4B的活...     

Shengxuening Extracted from Silkworm Excrement Mitigates Myelosuppression via SCF-Mediated JAK2/STAT3 Signaling

Shengxuening (SXN) is a Chinese patent medicine with main ingredients (including chlorophyll derivatives and sodium iron chlorophyllin) extracted from silkworm excrement. SXN exhibited efficacy in clinical trials of renal anemia and iron deficiency anemia; however, the specific mechanisms remain unclear. This study found that SXN increased the number of peripheral blood cells and improved the bone marrow morphology in myelosuppressed mouse model, reversed the reduction in body weight and spleen indices, and increased the serum levels of erythropoietin and granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor. Quantitative real-time PCR array and Western blot analysis showed the enhanced expression of stem cell factor (SCF), JAK2, and STAT3 in the liver. These results suggested that SXN promoted the recovery of hemopoietic function in myelosuppressed models by increasing the secretion of hematopoietic factors and activating the JAK2/STAT3 pathway. Therefore, this medicine may be applied as therapeutic pharmaceutical drug to mitigate myelosuppression.

Curcumin induces apoptosis in JAK2‐mutated cells by the inhibition of JAK2/STAT and mTORC1 pathways

Myeloproliferative neoplasms are chronic myeloid cancers divided in Philadelphia positive and negative. The JAK2 V617F is the most common mutation in Philadelphia negative patients and results in a constitutive activation of the JAK/STAT pathway, conferring a proliferative advantage and apoptosis inhibition. Recent studies identified a functional crosstalk between the JAK/STAT and mTOR pathways. The identification of an effective therapy is often difficult, so the availability of new therapeutic approaches might be attractive. Previous studies showed that curcumin, the active principle of the Curcuma longa, can suppress JAK2/STAT pathways in different type of cancer and injuries. In this study, we investigated the anti‐proliferative and pro‐apoptotic effects of curcumin in JAK2 V617F‐mutated cells. HEL cell line and cells from patients JAK2 V617F mutated have been incubated with increasing concentrations of curcumin for different time. Apoptosis and proliferation were evaluated. Subsequently, JAK2/STAT and AKT/mTOR pathways were investigated at both RNA and protein levels. We found that curcumin induces apoptosis and inhibition of proliferation in HEL cells. Furthermore, we showed that curcumin inhibits JAK2/STAT and mTORC1 pathways in JAK2 V617F‐mutated cells. This inhibition suggests that curcumin could represent an alternative strategy to be explored for the treatment of patients with myeloproliferative neoplasms.     

Inhibition of JAK2/STAT3 signalling induces colorectal cancer cell apoptosis via mitochondrial pathway

Abnormalities in the JAK2/STAT3 pathway are involved in the pathogenesis of colorectal cancer (CRC), including apoptosis. However, the exact mechanism by which dysregulated JAK2/STAT3 signalling contributes to the apoptosis has not been clarified. To investigate the role of both JAK2 and STAT3 in the mechanism underlying CRC apoptosis, we inhibited JAK2 with AG490 and depleted STAT3 with a small interfering RNA. Our data showed that inhibition of JAK2/STAT3 signalling induced CRC cellular apoptosis via modulating the Bcl-2 gene family, promoting the loss of mitochondrial transmembrane potential (Δψm) and the increase of reactive oxygen species. In addition, our results demonstrated that the translocation of cytochrome c (Cyt c), caspase activation and cleavage of poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP) were present in apoptotic CRC cells after down-regulation of JAK2/STAT3 signalling. Moreover, inhibition of JAK2/STAT3 signalling suppressed CRC xenograft tumour growth. We found that JAK2/STAT3 target genes were decreased; meanwhile caspase cascade was activated in xenograft tumours. Our findings illustrated the biological significance of JAK2/STAT3 signalling in CRC apoptosis, and provided novel evidence that inhibition of JAK2/STAT3 induced apoptosis via the mitochondrial apoptotic pathway. Therefore, JAK2/STAT3 signalling may be a potential target for therapy of CRC.     

LncRNA-UCA1 inhibits the astrocyte activation in the temporal lobe epilepsy via regulating the JAK/STAT signaling pathway

This article aimed to reveal the mechanism of long noncoding RNA (lncRNA) urothelial cancer-associated 1 (UCA1) regulated astrocyte activation in temporal lobe epilepsy (TLE) rats via mediating the activation of the JAK/STAT signaling pathway. A model of TLE was established based on rats via kainic acid (KA) injection. All rats were divided into the Sham group (without any treatments), KA group, normal control (NC; injection with empty vector) + KA group, and UCA1 + KA group. The Morris water maze was used to test the learning and memory ability of rats, and the expression of UCA1 in the hippocampus was determined by quantitative real time polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR). Surviving neurons were counted by Nissl staining, and expression levels of glial cells glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP), p-JAK1, and p-STAT3 and glutamate/aspartate transporter (GLAST) were analyzed by immunofluorescence and Western blot analysis. A rat model of TLE was established by intraperitoneal injection of KA. qRT-PCR and fluorescence analyses showed that UCA1 inhibited astrocyte activation in the hippocampus of epileptic rats. Meanwhile, the Morris water maze analysis indicated that UCA1 improved the learning and memory in epilepsy rats. Moreover, the Nissl staining showed that UCA1 might have a protective effect on neuronal injury induced by KA injection. Furthermore, the immunofluorescence and Western blot analysis revealed that the overexpression of UCA1 inhibited KA-induced abnormal elevation of GLAST, astrocyte activation of the JAK/STAT signaling pathway, as well as hippocampus of epilepsy rats. UCA1 inhibited hippocampal astrocyte activation and JAK/STAT/GLAST expression in TLE rats and improved the adverse reactions caused by epilepsy.
