Aberrant expression of nuclear matrix proteins during HMBA-induced differentiation of gastric cancer cells.

ABSTRACT: AIM:To investigate the aberrant expression of nuclear matrix proteins in human gastric cancer cells before and after hexamethylene bisacetamide (HMBA) treatment. METHODS:Proteomics analysis of differential nuclear matrix proteins was performed by two dimensional electrophoresis polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis and matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry. The expression levels of three nuclear matrix proteins were further confirmed by Western blotting and their locations in nuclear matrix filament were observed by quantum dots-based immunofluorescence. RESULTS:Proteomics analysis showed that 43 protein spots were significantly changed due to HMBA treatment. Fifteen proteins were identified in the HMBA-induced differentiation of gastric tumor cells. Eight proteins spots were down-regulated while seven were up-regulated. Among these proteins, prohibitin, nucleophosmin and hnRNP A2/B1 were significantly decreased in HMBA-treated human gastric cancer cells, and their locations in nuclear matrix were altered by HMBA. Our results proved the alteration of specific nuclear matrix proteins during the differentiation of human gastric cancer cells. And the aberrant expressions of nuclear matrix proteins were of significance in revealing the regulatory mechanism of tumor cell proliferation and differentiation. CONCLUSION:The aberrant expressions and intracellular redistributions of nuclear matrix proteins before and after HMBA treatment indicated that nuclear matrix proteins play a pivotal role in the differentiation of gastric cancer cells.

Project description:Background & aimsAdult zymogen-producing (zymogenic) chief cells (ZCs) in the mammalian gastric gland base are believed to arise from descending mucous neck cells, which arise from stem cells. Gastric injury, such as from Helicobacter pylori infection in patients with chronic atrophic gastritis, can cause metaplasia, characterized by gastric cell expression of markers of wound-healing; these cells are called spasmolytic polypeptide-expressing metaplasia (SPEM) cells. We investigated differentiation and proliferation patterns of neck cells, ZCs, and SPEM cells in mice.MethodsC57BL/6 mice were given intraperitoneal injections of high-dose tamoxifen to induce SPEM or gavaged with H pylori (PMSS1) to induce chronic gastric injury. Mice were then given pulses of 5-bromo-2'-deoxyuridine (BrdU) in their drinking water, followed by chase periods without BrdU, or combined with intraperitoneal injections of 5-ethynyl-2'-deoxyuridine. We collected gastric tissues and performed immunofluorescence and immunohistochemical analyses to study gastric cell proliferation, differentiation, and turnover.ResultsAfter 8 weeks of continuous BrdU administration, fewer than 10% of homeostatic ZCs incorporated BrdU, whereas 88% of neck cells were labeled. In pulse-chase experiments, various chase periods decreased neck cell label but did not increase labeling of ZCs. When mice were given BrdU at the same time as tamoxifen, more than 90% of cells were labeled in all gastric lineages. After 3 months' recovery (no tamoxifen), ZCs became the predominant BrdU-labeled population, whereas other cells, including neck cells, were mostly negative. When we tracked the labeled cells in such mice over time, we observed that the proportion of BrdU-positive ZCs remained greater than 60% up to 11 months. In mice whose ZCs were the principal BrdU-positive population, acute injury by tamoxifen or chronic injury by H pylori infection resulted in SPEM cells becoming the principal BrdU-positive population. After withdrawal of tamoxifen, BrdU-positive ZCs reappeared.ConclusionsWe studied mice in homeostasis or with tamoxifen- or H pylori-induced SPEM. Our findings indicated that mucous neck cells do not contribute substantially to generation of ZCs during homeostasis and that ZCs maintain their own census, likely through infrequent self-replication. After metaplasia-inducing injury, ZCs can become SPEM cells, and then redifferentiate into ZCs on injury resolution.

Project description:FK506 (also known as tacrolimus) is a potent immunosuppressive agent that is widely used in the treatment of graft-rejection and autoimmune diseases. FK506 has attracted additional attention owing to its potential role in osteogenic differentiation and bone formation. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) have been demonstrated to serve important roles in the regulation of osteogenic differentiation; however, identification of specific miRNAs and their roles in regulating FK506‑induced osteogenic differentiation have been poorly examined. In the present study, osteodifferentiation of rat bone marrow stromal cells (BMSCs) was induced with varying concentrations of FK506 (5‑5,000 nM) for 3, 7 and 14 days. Differentially expressed miRNAs were profiled using miRNA array, verified by reverse transcription‑quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RT‑qPCR) and subjected to gene ontology (GO) term and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) pathway analysis. Results from the present study identified a subset of miRNAs that were differentially expressed, of which five upregulated miRNAs (miR‑106b‑5p, miR‑101b‑3p, miR‑193a‑3p, miR‑485‑3p and miR‑142‑3p) and four downregulated miRNAs (miR‑27a‑3p, miR‑207, miR‑218a‑2‑3p and let‑7a‑5p) were confirmed by RT‑qPCR. GO and KEGG analysis revealed that the predicted target genes of these miRNAs are involved in multiple biological processes and signaling pathways, including cell differentiation and the mitogen‑activated protein kinase (MAPK) signaling pathway. Verification of the miRNA‑target genes revealed that Smad5, Jagged 1 and MAPK9 were significantly upregulated, whereas Smad7, BMP and activin membrane‑bound inhibitor, and dual‑specificity phosphatase 2 were significantly downregulated during FK506‑induced osteodifferentiation. The present study may provide an experimental basis for further research on miRNA functions during FK506‑induced osteogenic differentiation in rat BMSCs.
