丹皮酚与钙粘素相互作用的分析研究

丹皮酚对多种肿瘤细胞具有抑制作用,而钙粘素是与肿瘤产生和恶化密切相关的一类糖蛋白.本研究运用荧光光谱法和原子力显微技术探索了丹皮酚与钙粘素的相互作用.荧光光谱法研究结果表明,丹皮酚对钙粘素的荧光具有显著的猝灭作用,通过猝灭常数随温度变化趋势推断为静态猝灭过程.丹皮酚与钙粘素形成复合物的热力学参数分别为ΔH=-4.3×10.5 J/mol和ΔS=-1.3×10.3 J/(mol·K), 表明此结合过程以氢键和范德华力为主.原子力显微观察结果表明,钙粘素分子间可形成有序长链结构,丹皮酚加入后能显著破坏这种组装结构而形成短链结构,这是由于丹皮酚与钙粘素末端色氨酸残基的作用而影响相邻钙粘素分子结构域间的交错作用所致.本研究结果表明,钙粘素可能是丹皮酚体现其活性的一个重要作用靶点.

Disposable Amperometric Immunosensor for the Determination of the E‐Cadherin Tumor Suppressor Protein in Cancer Cells and Human Tissues

This paper describes the results obtained in the development of the first electrochemical immunosensor described to date for the detection of E‐cadherin (E‐cad) protein, a relevant biomarker of prognosis and metastasis in cancer, based on the use of magnetic microcarriers (MBs) and amperometric transduction at screen‐printed carbon electrodes (SPCEs). Thus, the determination of E‐cad protein involved the use of two specific antibodies against this protein (one of them labelled with HRP) in a sandwich configuration onto HOOC‐MBs. The magnetic bioconjugates were captured onto SPCEs and the amperometric transduction was performed using the H₂O₂/hydroquinone (HQ) system. Under optimal conditions, this bioplatform demonstrated a wide linear concentration range (0.50–25 ng mL^?1) and a detection limit as low as 0.16 ng mL^?1, well below the optimal cut‐off level for the E‐cad protein (defined as 10,000 ng mL^?1 for soluble E‐cad levels in serum). The developed sensor also showed a good reproducibility among measurements with seven different sensors constructed in the same manner (RSD, 5.4 %), stability for more than 15 days and good specificity towards other proteins commonly found on biological samples. The applicability of this simple handling bioplatform for the direct determination of this protein in cell lysates with different metastatic potential and extracts from paraffined‐embedded human colorectal cancer tissues of different grade were also demonstrated.

Genistein Up-Regulates the Expression of EGF and E-Cadherin in the Treatment of Senile Vaginitis

Investigating the therapeutic effect of genistein (Gen) on postmenopausal senile vaginitis (SV) and its mechanism of action. Adult SPF female Wistar rats were selected to establish a bilateral ovariectomized animal model (OVX), which simulated senile vaginitis dominated by estrogen deficiency in ovarian dysfunction. After 14 days of continuous treatment, the morphology of vaginal epithelial tissue was observed and various types of epithelial cells were counted, and the body mass and uterine and vaginal index of rats were measured. the levels of vaginal tissue secretion, microorganism, hormone and glycogen in each group were measured and the reproductive health was evaluated clinically. The protein expression and mRNA expression of epidermal growth factor (EGF) and E-cadherin (E-cadherin) in vaginal tissues were detected by immunohistochemistry and RT-PCR, respectively. Result showed that Genistein lowered vaginal pH, increased vaginal index and vaginal health score, thickened epithelial layers and improved vaginal tissue atrophy after administration. Genistein also increased the contents of glycogen and Lactobacillus in vagina, and promoted the expression of EGF, E-cadherin protein and mRNA. To sum up, there is no significant change in serum E2 and FSH levels, indicating that genistein has no effect on hormone levels in rats. genistein promoted the proliferation of vaginal epithelial cells, thickened epithelial layers and the vaginal wall, which improved the resistance of vaginal epithelium, the recovery of self-cleaning ability and healed the vaginal wound and erosive surface to improve atrophy.     

p53突变蛋白下调调控人肺腺癌细胞中E-cadherin的表达并促进细胞迁移

摘要：p53 是最重要的抑癌基因之一。在肿瘤发生发展过程中,超过50% 的人类肿瘤组织和细胞中存在 p53 基因发生突变,而且大多数为点突变,其中包括 R273H,由此产生的点突变蛋白会失去 p53 的DNA结合和特异的转录活性。最近的研究表明p53突变蛋白还可能获得一些野生型p53蛋白不具有的新的生物学活性。在本研究中,我们在人肺肿瘤细胞 H1299 中稳定表达含R273H 点突变的p53 蛋白（p53-R273H）,观察到细胞中 E-cadherin mRNA 和蛋白水平下调,同时细胞迁移能力增强。免疫荧光方法检测发现 p53-R273H 显著降低 E-cadherin 在肿瘤细胞间的表达。这些结果表明p53-R273H 突变蛋白具有下调 E-cadherin 基因的表达和促使肿瘤细胞迁移的新功能。

目的:探讨全反式维甲酸(ATRA)联合苦参素(OMT)干预大鼠肝癌演进中E-cadherin表达的变化.方法:用ATRA和OMT对SD大鼠肝癌变动物模型进行干预,分批处死取材,病理分级后,用免疫组化及Western blot法检测E-cadherin表达的变化.结果:在癌变及药物干预进程中,E-cadherin的表达均逐渐下降,且干预组E-cadherin的表达总是略高于诱癌组,且表达部位从肝细胞膜逐渐转移至细胞浆;尤其是从腺瘤样增生(AH)至胆管细胞癌(CCC)期,诱癌组E-cadherin的表达极显著低于对照组(P<0.05,P<0.01),在AH和CCC期时,干预组E-cadherin的表达极显著高于诱癌组(P<0.01).结论:ATRA和OMT可延缓大鼠肝癌变进程中E-cadherin表达的降低,提示ATRA和OMT可在一定程度上推迟肝癌的发生发展.     

Alteration of cadherin isoform expression and inhibition of gap junctions in stomach carcinoma cells

To explore cell malignant phenotype correlated changes of cell surface adhesion molecules and cell-cell communication in carcinogenesis, human stomach transformed and cancer cell lines were investigated. Expressions of E-cadherin, N-cadherin,α-catenin, β-catenin as well as gap junction (GJ) protein Cx32 were studied by utilization of immunoblotting, immunocytochemical and fluorescent dye transfer methods. Mammalian normal stomach mucosal cells expressed E-cadherin but not N-cadherin. E-cadherin im-munofluorescence was detected at cell membranous adher-ens junctions (AJ) where colocalization with immunofluo-rescent staining of inner surface adhesion plaque proteins αnd β-catenins was observed. The existence of E-cadherin/ catenin (α-, β-) protein complexes as AJ was suggested. In transformed and stomach cancer cells E-cadherin was inhibited, instead, N-cadherin was expressed and localized at membranous AJ where co-staining with α- and β-catenin fluorescence was observed. Formation of N-cadherin/catenin (α-, β-) protein complex at AJs of transformed and cancer cells was suggested. The above observations were further supported by immunoblotting results. Normal stomach muscosal and transformed cells expressed Cx32 at membranous GJ and were competent of gap junction communication (GJIC). In stomach cancer cells, Cx32 was inhibited and GJIC was defective. The results suggested that changes of signal pathways mediated by both cell adhesion and cell communication systems are associated intracellular events of stomach carcinogenesis. The alteration of cadherin isoform from E- to N-cadherin in transformed and stomach cancer cells is the first report.
