The oncogenic impact of RNF2 on cell proliferation,invasion and migration through EMT on mammary carcinoma

Mammary carcinoma (MC) is one of most common malignancy in women, and ring finger protein 2 (RNF2) possesses various roles in vast human tumors. In MC tissues as well as in cell lines RNF2 exhibited high expression, had significant association with tumor size, lymph node status, TNM stage, patients’ poor survival, and promoted cell proliferation, colony formation, cell migration and invasion of MC cell lines which was mediated by downregulation of E-cadherin protein. These data reveal that RNF2 protein plays a vital role in the development of MC and may be a potential therapy target of MC.

microRNA与肿瘤

microRNA(miRNA)是近年来发现的一类长度约22个核苷酸非编码小分子RNA,它通过促使靶mRNA降解或抑制其翻译来调节靶基因的表达,在细胞的分化、增殖和凋亡,个体发育、机体代谢以及病毒感染中都具有重要的作用。随着研究的不断深入,目前认为miRNA在肿瘤发生发展过程中,具有与癌基因或抑癌基因相似的作用,有些致瘤病毒也编码miRNA影响宿主细胞,在肿瘤发生中可能具有重要的作用。利用这种作用,可将其作为抗肿瘤药物或者其他抗肿瘤药物的靶分子。

Alcoholic and Non-Alcoholic Beer Modulate Plasma and Macrophage microRNAs Differently in a Pilot Intervention in Humans with Cardiovascular Risk

Beer is a popular beverage and some beneficial effects have been attributed to its moderate consumption. We carried out a pilot study to test if beer and non-alcoholic beer consumption modify the levels of a panel of 53 cardiometabolic microRNAs in plasma and macrophages. Seven non-smoker men aged 30–65 with high cardiovascular risk were recruited for a non-randomised cross-over intervention consisting of the ingestion of 500 mL/day of beer or non-alcoholic beer for 14 days with a 7-day washout period between interventions. Plasma and urine isoxanthohumol were measured to assess compliance with interventions. Monocytes were isolated and differentiated into macrophages, and plasma and macrophage microRNAs were analysed by quantitative real-time PCR. Anthropometric, biochemistry and dietary parameters were also measured. We found an increase in plasma miR-155-5p, miR-328-3p, and miR-92a-3p after beer and a decrease after non-alcoholic beer consumption. Plasma miR-320a-3p levels decreased with both beers. Circulating miR-320a-3p levels correlated with LDL-cholesterol. We found that miR-17-5p, miR-20a-5p, miR-145-5p, miR-26b-5p, and miR-223-3p macrophage levels increased after beer and decreased after non-alcoholic beer consumption. Functional analyses suggested that modulated microRNAs were involved in catabolism, nutrient sensing, Toll-like receptors signalling and inflammation. We concluded that beer and non-alcoholic beer intake modulated differentially plasma and macrophage microRNAs. Specifically, microRNAs related to inflammation increased after beer consumption and decreased after non-alcoholic beer consumption.     

miR-383调控血管生成因子VEGFA的表达并抑制血管生成

目的 探讨miR-383对血管生成的影响及分子机制。 方法 通过生物信息学数据库进行预测,寻找miR-383调控的靶基因,挑选与血管生成相关的靶基因作为候选基因,采用荧光素酶报告基因检测系统进行验证。利用实时荧光定量PCR(qPCR)和Western-blot等实验证实miR-383对候选基因表达的靶向调控; 通过体外血管内皮细胞成管实验检测miR-383对血管生成的影响。 结果 生物信息学预测显示,miR-383靶向多个与血管生成相关的基因; 荧光素酶报告基因实验证实,miR-383可通过结合血管内皮生成因子(VEGFA)基因3''-非翻译区(3''-UTR)而抑制其表达; 过表达miR-383并不影响VEGFA的mRNA转录水平,而只是在蛋白水平下调VEGFA表达; 体外血管生成实验表明,miR-383所介导的VEGFA表达下调可明显抑制血管生成。 结论 miR-383可通过靶向结合VEGFA基因的3''-UTR,抑制其翻译效率而下调VEGFA的表达,并抑制内皮细胞血管生成能力。
