Differential roles of exogenous protein disulfide isomerase A3 on proliferating cell and neuroblast numbers in the normal and ischemic gerbils.

ABSTRACT: INTRODUCTION:We examined the effects of exogenous protein disulfide isomerase A3 (PDIA3) on hippocampal neurogenesis in gerbils under control and ischemic damage. METHODS:To facilitate the delivery of PDIA3 to the brain, we constructed Tat-PDIA3 protein and administered vehicle (10% glycerol) or Tat-PDIA3 protein once a day for 28 days. On day 24 of vehicle or Tat-PDIA3 treatment, ischemia was transiently induced by occlusion of both common carotid arteries for 5 min. RESULTS:Administration of Tat-PDIA3 significantly reduced ischemia-induced spontaneous motor activity, and the number of NeuN-positive nuclei in the Tat-PDIA3-treated ischemic group was significantly increased in the CA1 region compared to that in the vehicle-treated ischemic group. Ki67- and DCX-immunoreactive cells were significantly higher in the Tat-PDIA3-treated group compared to the vehicle-treated control group. In vehicle- and Tat-PDIA3-treated ischemic groups, the number of Ki67- and DCX-immunoreactive cells was significantly higher as compared to those in the vehicle- and Tat-PDIA3-treated control groups, respectively. In the dentate gyrus, the numbers of Ki67-immunoreactive cells were comparable between vehicle- and Tat-PDIA3-treated ischemic groups, while more DCX-immunoreactive cells were observed in the Tat-PDIA3-treated group. Transient forebrain ischemia increased the expression of phosphorylated cAMP-response element-binding protein (pCREB) in the dentate gyrus, but the administration of Tat-PDIA3 robustly increased pCREB-positive nuclei in the normal gerbils, but not in the ischemic gerbils. Brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) mRNA expression was significantly increased in the Tat-PDIA3-treated group compared to that in the vehicle-treated group. Transient forebrain ischemic increased BDNF mRNA levels in both vehicle- and Tat-PDIA3-treated groups, and there were no significant differences between groups. CONCLUSIONS:These results suggest that Tat-PDIA3 enhances cell proliferation and neuroblast numbers in the dentate gyrus in normal, but not in ischemic gerbils, by increasing BDNF mRNA and phosphorylation of pCREB.

Project description:Objective: This study aims to explore the clinical significance of haptoglobin (HP) and protein disulfide-isomerase A3 (PDIA3) in human serum in the screening, diagnosis and staging of colorectal cancer (CRC), and to provide novel screening approaches featuring high specificity, sensitivity, and accuracy for early screening and diagnosis of clinical colorectal cancer. Methods: 88, 77, and 36 blood specimens were respectively harvested from colorectal cancer patients, colorectal polyp patients, and normal subjects (the health examination) who requested medical assistance from our hospital between Oct2019 and February 2022. The serum contents of HP and PDIA3 in each sample were determined through an enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). This step was taken to analyze the differences among different specimen groups in terms of the serum contents of HP and PDIA3, to analyze the relationships between the expression levels of HP and PDIA3 and the pathological characteristics of colorectal cancer, and to explore the critical role of HP and PDIA3 in the screening, diagnosis, and staging of colorectal cancer. Results: Serum contents of HP and PDIA3 were higher in colorectal cancer patients, with statistical differences (p < 0.05), than those in the colonic polyp patients and healthy subjects. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve demonstrated that the cut-offs of HP and PDIA3 serum contents indicating colorectal cancer were 149 ug/ml and 66 ng/ml respectively. The individually and jointly tested AUCs of HP (0.802) and PDIA3 (0.727) were higher than those of serum CEA and CA199, the sensitivity and specificity of HP were 64.8 and 91.2%, the sensitivity and specificity of PDIA3 were 65.9 and 71.7%. Moreover, the contents of HP and PDIA3 increased alongside disease progression, with differences (p < 0.05). Conclusion: Our research indicated that joint testing of HP and PDIA3 was of reference value for progressive stage and reliable biological indicators of colorectal cancer screening.
