Beta-amyloid activated microglia induce cell cycling and cell death in cultured cortical neurons

Immunocytochemical studies of postmortem human tissue have shown that the neurons at risk for degeneration in Alzheimer’s are marked by the ectopic expression of several cell cycle components. The current work investigates the roles that β-amyloid activated microglia might play in leading neurons to re-express cell cycle components. Stable cultures of E16.5 mouse cortical neurons were exposed to β-amyloid alone, microglial cells alone, or microglial cells activated by β-amyloid. Increased cell death was found in response to each of these treatments, however, only the amyloid activated microglial treatment increased the number of neurons that were positive for cell cycle markers such as PCNA or cyclin D and incorporation of BrdU. Double labeling with BrdU and TUNEL techniques verified that the ‘dividing’ neurons were dying, most likely through an apoptotic mechanism. The identity of the soluble factor(s) elaborated by the microglia remains unknown, but FGF2, a suspected neuronal mitogen, was ruled out. These results further support a model in which microglial activation by β-amyloid is a key event in the progression in Alzheimer’s disease.     

Morphological transformation and proliferation of rat astrocytes as induced by sulfated polysaccharides from the sea cucumber Stichopus japonicus

In this report, we demonstrate that the sulfated polysaccharide, Haishen (HS), which was isolated from the body wall of the sea cucumber Stichopus japonicus can induce morphological transformation and proliferation of astrocytes in vitro when combined with basic fibroblast growth factor 2 (FGF-2). Cell morphology showed no change when induced by HS or FGF-2 alone. However, combinational treatment of HS and FGF-2 promoted transformation of normal astrocyte into a stella morphology (stellation), along with an increase in the expression and rearrangement of glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP). Further analysis of HS- and FGF-2-treated cells indicated a reduced percentage of cells in the G0/G1 phase, whereas the cell proliferation index (S phase) was increased. The proportion of 5-bromo-2-deoxyuridine (BrdU)-positive cells increased in response to the combination of HS and FGF-2. With respect to cell cycle signaling, immunoblotting assay demonstrated an accumulation of Cyclin D1. These observations suggest that HS may play a role in astrocyte morphological transformation and proliferation, and this activation requires a synergism with FGF-2.

Comparative study of the expression of cellular cycle proteins in cervical intraepithelial lesions

Interaction of human papilloma virus oncoproteins E6 and E7 with cell cycle proteins leads to disturbances of the cell cycle mechanism and subsequent alteration in the expression of some proteins, such as p16^INK4a, cyclin D1, p53 and KI67. In this study, we compared alterations in the expression of these proteins during several stages of intra-epitelial cervical carcinogenesis. Accordingly, an immunohistochemical study was performed on 50 cervical biopsies, including negative cases and intraepithelial neoplasias. The expression patterns of these markers were correlated with the histopathological diagnosis and infection with HPV. The p16^INK4a, followed by Ki67, showed better correlation with cancer progression than p53 and cyclin D1, which recommends their use in the evaluation of cervical carcinogenesis. These monoclonal antibodies can be applied to cervical biopsy specimens to identify lesions transformed by oncogenic HPV, separating CIN 1 (p16^INK4a positive) and identifying high-grade lesions by an increase in the cellular proliferation index (Ki67). In this way, we propose immunomarkers that can be applied in clinical practice to separate patients who need a conservative therapeutic approach from those who require a more aggressive treatment.

骨髓间充质干细胞移植对胃癌模型大鼠肿瘤细胞的影响

BACKGROUND:Bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells can migrate into tumor tissues, as reported in recent studies. OBJECTIVE:To investigate the tropism and effect of transplantation of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells on proliferation and differentiation of gastric cancer cell line SGC7901 in rats. METHODS:Gastric cancer models were established in Sprague-Dawley rats by subcutaneous injection of gastric cancer cell line SGC7901, and then, in cell transplantation group, each rat underwent an intraperitoneal injection of 1×107 bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells. After transplantation, the targeting ability of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells was detected using fluorescent DiI labeling. Cyclin D2 mRNA and protein expressions were measured using real-time PCR and western blot assay, respectively. Apoptosis of gastric cancer cells was observed by in situ terminal labeling method. RESULTS AND METHODS: Bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells successfully migrated into the gastric cancer site in rats. The expression levels of cyclin D2 mRNA and protein in the cell transplantation group were significantly higher than those in the model group (P < 0.05). It was observed that the number of apoptotic cancer cells was significantly reduced in the cell transplantation group compared with the model group (P < 0.05). These findings indicate that bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells have the ability to migrate into the tumor sites, thereby promoting the proliferation of gastric cancer cells.
