Project description:We demonstrate that Polo-like kinase 4(PLK4) is overexpressed in human bladder cancer (BC) cell lines and tissues, and its overexpression correlates with poor prognosis. PLK4 inhibition suppresses BC cell growth and induces G1 phase arrest via activating p38/p53/p21 pathway in vitro and in vivo. The data suggest that PLK4 might serve as a novel molecular target for BC treatment.

Project description:Osteosarcoma is the third most common cancer in adolescence and the first common primary malignant tumor of bone. The long-term prognosis of osteosarcoma, especially for unresectable and metastatic tumors, still remains unsatisfactory in the past decades. In this study, we systematically investigated the antitumor effect of imperatorin (IMP), a small molecule extracted from Angelica dahurica, in human osteosarcoma cells. The results showed that IMP triggered time-dependent and dose-dependent inhibition of tumor growth mainly by inducing autophagy promotion and G0/G1 phase arrest in vitro and in vivo. Besides, IMP treatment elevated the expression level of PTEN and p21, down-regulated the phosphorylation of AKT and mTOR. In contrast, the inhibition of PTEN using Bpv (HOpic), a potential and selective inhibitor of PTEN, concurrently rescued IMP-induced autophagy promotion, cell cycle arrest and inactivation of PTEN-PI3K-AKT-mTOR/p21 pathway. Taken together, our data revealed that imperatorin induced autophagy and cell cycle arrest through PTEN-PI3K-AKT-mTOR/p21 signaling pathway by targeting and up-regulating PTEN in human osteosarcoma cells. Hence, imperatorin is a desirable candidate for clinical treatments of osteosarcoma.

Project description:Background: Magnesium transporter subtype 1 (MAGT1) is involved in animal development and cell differentiation. Thus far, researches on MAGT1 are mainly focused on Cardiomyocyte regulation and differentiation, but rare research has been reported on cell proliferation, especially concerning the underlying molecular mechanisms. Methods: HeLa cells were transiently knock down with different SiRNAs and processed for RNA sequencing and bioinformatics analysis, western blot, real-time PCR as well as cell cycle assays. Results: We showed that cell proliferation was significantly restricted with S-phase arrest in MAGT1 knock down cells, which was further confirmed by the up expression of p21, CCNA1 and CCNB1, while down expression of CCND1, CCNE1 and CDK4. Knocking down MAGT1 also resulted in significant transcriptional expression changes of 1599 target genes analyzed by RNA sequencing. The bioinformatics analysis showed that MAGT1 was related to MAPK signaling pathway. Western blot analysis confirmed that the phosphorylation of ERK1/2 and p38 exhibited a remarkable reduction in MAGT1 downregulated group. Conclusion: MAGT1 is critical in HeLa cell proliferation, S-phase progress and ERK/p38 MAPK signaling pathway, indicating that MAGT1 might be a novel target of anticancer research.

Project description:The p53-regulated long non-coding RNA, lincRNA-p21, has been proposed to promote apoptosis and to repress in trans the expression of genes in the p53 transcriptional network. Here, we report the generation of a conditional knockout mouse model developed to further examine lincRNA-p21 function. Using this genetic approach, we find that the primary function of lincRNA-p21 is to activate in cis the expression of its neighboring gene, the cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitor p21. Mechanistically, we show that lincRNA-p21 acts in concert with hnRNP-K as a co-activator for p53-dependent transcription of p21. Additional phenotypes of lincRNA-p21 deficiency, including deregulated expression and altered chromatin state of a set of Polycomb target genes, defective G1/S checkpoint, increased proliferation rates, and enhanced reprogramming efficiency could be attributed to diminished p21 levels. This study reveals a novel paradigm, whereby the long non-coding RNA lincRNA-p21 affects global gene expression and influences events in the p53 tumor suppressor pathway by acting in cis as a locus-restricted transcriptional co-activator for p53-mediated expression of p21. Examination of 2 different histone modifications (H3K4me3 and H3K27me3) in 2 cell types (WT and lincRNA-p21 KO) in the presence and absence of Doxorubicin.

Project description:Our goal is to find new genes regulated by p21 in human primary cells . To get it we carried out a gene expression profiling in two different models, human myeloid leukemia K562 cells and human keratinocytes both of them with conditional expression of p21. In order to find genes regulated by p21 in human primary cells we carried out a gene expression profiling in human myeloid leukemia K562 cells with conditional expression of p21. We previously described a K562 derivative, termed Kp21-4, that carries a zinc-inducible p21 gene (Munoz-Alonso MJ et at., 2005). We performed a kinetic study to identify the expression peak of p21 in this system. This transient induction of p21 was accompanied by proliferation arrest and an increase in polyploid cells after 48-72 h (Munoz-Alonso MJ et at., 2005). Actually, 6-12 h of p21 induction with ZnSO4 is sufficient to irreversibly trigger proliferation arrest. Therefore, we chose 12 h as the induction time to analyse p21 effects on the transcriptome of these cells, as gene expression changes later on may be indirect due to other phenotypic effects. We next carried out the gene expression profiling of Kp21-4 cells upon p21 induction by ZnSO4. In order to identify genes specifically modulated by p21 we compared with the cell line Kp27-5, which carries a Zn2+-inducible p27 allele (Munoz-Alonso MJ et at., 2005). p27 is a close relative to p21 that also inhibits CDKs and induce cell cycle arrest . Thus, the comparison serves to identify genes specifically regulated by p21 in our analysis. We subtracted the gene expression changes occurring at 72 h in Kp21-4 cells those genes regulated by p27 in the Kp27-5 cells and genes changed by ZnSO4 treatment in parental K562 cells. So, our intention is to identify only genes regulated at short time of induction by p21 and not by p27. In order to confirm these results we studied the p21-dependent repression of mitotic genes in a different cellular system. A dramatic increase in p21 and p27 in Kp21 and Kp27 were demonstrated by RT-qPCR and immunoblot (as we show in the manuscript). We prepared RNA 12 h and 72h after induction with ZnSO4 and performed large-scale expression assay using the Afftymetrix platform. The clustering analysis revealed that p21 provoked the down-regulation of a number genes involved in cell cycle control not shared by cells expressing p27 (as we show in the manuscript). Our goal, has been getting genes regulated more strongly by p21 and not by p27, in cell cycle and itosis. Our result are supported because we have found the same genes in two different models and also we have validated (by RT-qPCR) more than 20 cell cycle and mitotic genes, found in our affymetrix arrays. Also we have found the region of p21 that is sufficient for gene regulation and for one gene we have described as p21 bind to the promoter. Finally, we have discussed in our manuscript how p21 can do this regulation by bioinformatic analysis of p21-target genes. The sucess of this study is describe a new role of p21 as a transcriptional co-repressor in some systems.
