Screening of differentially expressed genes related to differentiation and proliferation by gene expression profiling of different grade astrocytoma cell lines*☆

BACKGROUND： The detection of differential gene expression in brain is possible by cDNA microarray technology, and the screening of differentially expressed genes might provide a biological basis for gene-targeted therapy for tumors. OBJECTIVE： To detect the differential expression of genes among astrocytoma SHG-44 （WHO grade Ⅳ）, CHG-5 （WHO grade Ⅱ）, and ATRA-treated SHG-44 cell lines by cDNA microarray. DESIGN： Laboratory experiments in vitro. SETTING： Department of Neurobiology, the Third Military Medical University. MATERIALS： The experiment was performed at the Department of Neurobiology in the Third Military Medical University of the Chinese PLA from January to October 2007. The SHG-44 cell line （WHO grade Ⅳ） was established by Prof. Ziwei Du, and the CHG-5 cell line （WHO grade Ⅱ） was set up by Prof. Xiuwu Bian from the Third Military Medical University of the Chinese PLA. The cDNA microarray containing 9182 known genes was prepared and provided by Dr. Yang Zhong at the City University of Hong Kong. METHODS： To screen differentially expressed genes from the gene expression profiles detected by cDNA microarray comparisons were made between CHG-5 and SHG-44 cells and between SHG-44 cells with or without treatment with 10 μmol/L ATRA. Some differentially expressed genes were selected randomly for Northern Blot analysis to confirm the results of the microarray. The determination criteria for differential gene expression were as follows. ① The ratio of Cy5 signal to Cy3 was greater than 2.0 or less than 0.5. ② The results of the triplicate microarray hybridizations showed the same trend in three experiments. ③ A gene appeared at least two times on the triplicate microarray hybridizations, and the 3^rd value did not show a contradictory trend. A normalized ratio of Cy5 intensity to Cy3 greater than 2.0 or less than 0.5 was considered to represent up-regulated or down-regulated gene expression, respectively.

目的 探讨全反式维甲酸对胶质瘤细胞SHG-44中MDM2基因表达的影响,为进一步研究脑胶质瘤的进展机制及基因治疗提供依据.方法 分别利用cDNA微阵列与Western blot技术分析在10μmol/L全反式维甲酸(all-transretinoic acid,ATRA)处理前后的胶质瘤SHG-44细胞MDM2基因和蛋白的差异表达应用免疫组化链霉菌抗生物素蛋白-过氧化酶(Streptavidin-Peroxidase,SP)法检测Ⅱ级与Ⅳ级胶质瘤标本MDM2蛋白的表达.随机选择数个差异基因进行Northern杂交实验,以验证cDNA微阵列的结果.结果 应用cDNA微阵列检测发现,MDM2基因在ATRA处理与未处理的SHG-44细胞之间表达量的比值为0.37,提示ATRA可抑制MDM2基因在SHG-44中的表达.该结果进一步得Northern杂交实验结果的支持.Western blot分析结果显示10μmol/L ATRA处理前后胶质瘤SHG-44细胞之间MDM2蛋白的相对表达量分别为21.40±0.58和14.02±0.35(t=24.728,P=0.000),提示MDM2蛋白在SHG-44中的表达受到ATRA抑制.Ⅱ级和Ⅳ级胶质瘤标本MDM2蛋白的阳性表达率分别为24.00%(6/25)和56.52%(13/23)(X2=5.298,P=0.021),MDM2蛋白的表达随胶质瘤恶性程度的增高而增加.结论 ATRA可抑制SHG-44胶质瘤细胞中MDM2基因的表达,MDM2基因的表达水平与胶质瘤的演进有关.     

Differentially expressed genes from the glioblastoma cell line SHG-44 treated with all-trans retinoic acid in vitro

Morphology, immunocytochemistry, growth curve assay, and flow cytometry were used to investigate the effects of all-trans retinoic acid (RA) on cell proliferation, cell cycle progression and differentiation of the astrocytoma cell line SHG-44 from glioblastoma multiforme (World Health Organization grade IV). The differentially expressed genes from RA-treated and normal SHG-44 were identified by cDNA microarray after the cell line SHG-44 was treated with 10 μM RA for 3 days. Validation of some differentially expressed genes was performed by Northern Blot analysis. The expression of glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP) was markedly increased in RA-treated SHG-44 cells. Other changes included a short shuttle shape, small nucleus, decreased karyoplasm proportion, the formation of increased thin cytoplasmic processes, reduced cell growth and a 15% increase in G0/G1 phase cell populations. In addition, 42 known genes were identified with altered expression in our cDNA microarray. There was stable down-regulation of MDM2 and UGB as well as overexpression of SOD2, CSTB, and G3BP when RA-treated SHG-44 was compared with normal SHG-44. RA simultaneously suppressed the proliferation of SHG-44 cells significantly as well as induced differentiation and altered gene expression.     

Growth and radiosensitivity of irradiated human glioma cell progeny

BACKGROUND： Progenitors of the immortalized human glioma cell line, SHG-44, are significantly less sensitive to irradiation. Two hypotheses regarding the mechanism of this effect exist： several studies have suggested that there is a subgroup with different radiosensitivities in identical cell group, and the progenitors of irradiate is a adaptive response subgroup, so its radiosensitivity is descend. A second hypothesis suggests that irradiated glioma progeny have a stronger ability to repair DNA damage. This would suggest that when progeny are continuously irradiated, resistance to irradiation-induced DNA increases, and radiosensitivity decreases. OBJECTIVE： To investigate radiosensitivity and growth features after irradiation to progeny of the human glioma cell line SHG-44. DESIGN, TIME AND SETTING： A randomized, controlled experiment, which was performed at the Department of Radiology Laboratory, the First Hospital Affiliated to Soochow University, between September 2004 and January 2006. MATERIALS： The glioma cell line SHG-44 was provided by the Institute of Neuroscience, First Affiliated Hospital of Suzhou University. Propidium iodide reagent was provided by Coulter Corporation. A linear accelerator, KD-2 type, was provided by Siemens, Germany. The flow cytometer EPICS-XL was provided by Coulter Corporation. METHODS： Brain glioma SHG-44 cells were divided into four groups： SHG-44, SHG-44-2, SHG-44-6, and SHG-44-10 . The SHG-44-2, SHG-44-6, and SHG-44-10 cells were vertically irradiated with varying doses of 2, 6 and 10 Gy by a linear accelerator （6 MVX）. The cells were passaged for 15 generations and cultured in RPMI-1640 culture media. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES： Community re-double time, mean lethal dose （D0）, extrapolation number （N）, fraction surviving fraction irradiated by 2 Gy dose （SF2）, quasi-threshold dose （Dq）, and cell cycle. RESULTS： The Population doubling time （PDT） of SHG-44-2, SHG-44-6, and SHG-44-10 cell groups was not significant （P = 0.052）. Compare

Intraventricular transplantation of embryonic stem cell-derived neural stem cells in intracerebral hemorrhage rats

In the present study, we attempted to explore cell transplantation therapy for intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) using embryonic stem (ES) cells. Collagenase-induced ICH rats were used as model animals. Mouse ES cells were differentiated into nestin-positive neural stem cells in vitro by alltrans retinoic acid (ATRA). ATRA-treated ES cells (10(5)) were transplanted into the lateral ventricle in the hemisphere contralateral to the hemorrhage 7 days after collagenase infusion. Twenty-eight days after transplantation, ES-derived neurons and astrocytes were observed around the hematoma cavities of the brain in all of the ten rats receiving grafts. Graft-derived neurons were found in the subependymal area of the lateral ventricle as cellular nodules. Although one of the ten rats receiving grafts showed uncontrolled growth of astroglia derived from the ES cells, intraventricular transplantation of ATRA-treated ES cells is an effective delivery system of neuronal lineage-committed progenitor cells toward the site of ICH.

Seizures induce widespread upregulation of cystatin B, the gene mutated in progressive myoclonus epilepsy, in rat forebrain neurons

Loss of function mutations in the gene encoding the cysteine protease inhibitor, cystatin B (CSTB), are responsible for the primary defect in human progressive myoclonus epilepsy (EPM1). CSTB inhibits the cathepsins B, H, L and S by tight reversible binding, but little is known regarding its localization and physiological function in the brain and the relation between the depletion of the CSTB protein and the clinical symptoms in EPM1. We have analysed the expression of mRNA and protein for CSTB in the adult rat brain using in situ hybridization and immunocytochemistry. In the control brains, the CSTB gene was differentially expressed with the highest levels in the hippocampal formation and reticular thalamic nucleus, and moderate levels in amygdala, thalamus, hypothalamus and cortical areas. Detectable levels of CSTB were found in virtually all forebrain neurons but not in glial cells. Following 40 rapidly recurring seizures evoked by hippocampal kindling stimulations, CSTB mRNA expression showed marked bilateral increases in the dentate granule cell layer, CA1 and CA4 pyramidal layers, amygdala, and piriform and parietal cortices. Maximum levels were detected at 6 or 24 h, and expression had reached control values at 1 week post-seizures. The changes of mRNA expression were accompanied by transient elevations (at 6-24 h) of CSTB protein in the same brain areas. These findings demonstrate that seizure activity leads to rapid and widespread increases of the synthesis of CSTB in forebrain neurons. We propose that the upregulation of CSTB following seizures may counteract apoptosis by binding cysteine proteases.
