HOXB5 suppression attenuates proliferation and elevates apoptosis in hepatoma cell lines through ERK/MDM2 signaling.
In this study, we investigated the role and regulation mechanism of HOXB5 in HCC cell lines Hep3B and LM6. The data indicated high expression of HOXB5 in HCC tissues and cell lines. In HCC cells, inhibition of HOXB5 by transfection with HOXB5 siRNA significantly constrained cell viability, and Bcl-2 levels , and it increased cell apoptosis, cytochrome c levels, BAX levels, and caspase-3 activity. On the contrary, HOXB5 overexpression increased proliferation and Bcl-2 levels but inhibited BAX levels and caspase-3 activity in these cells. HOXB5 downregulation attenuated activation of extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ER...

Decrease in Multidrug Resistance-associated Protein 2 Activities by Knockdown of Phosphatidylinositol 4-phosphate 5-kinase in Hepatocytes and Cancer Cells.
CONCLUSIONS: These data suggest that PIP5K1A and PIP5K1C could be target proteins for modulating MRP2 function, partly because of the resulting changes of the linker function of radixin. PMID: 31804920 [PubMed - in process]

Biocompatible co-loading vehicles for delivering both nanoplatin cores and siRNA to treat hepatocellular carcinoma
Publication date: Available online 26 October 2019Source: International Journal of PharmaceuticsAuthor(s): Minsi Li, Pengxuan Zhao, Ting Fan, Yan Chen, Xiaojuan Zhang, Chuanchuan He, Tan Yang, Robert J. Lee, Muhammad Waseem Khan, Shahid Masood Raza, Xiang Ma, Yao Lu, Guangya XiangAbstractBmi-1 is a gene related to malignant transformation in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). The liver cancer cells developed the ability to tolerate CDDP treatment with the elevation of Bmi-1. Bmi-1 is also an oncogene promoting malignance of tumor and an anti-cancer target in many studies. Herein, a biocompatible nanocarrier was designed in th...

MiR-29c suppresses cell invasion and migration by directly targeting CDK6 in gastric carcinoma.
CONCLUSIONS: We revealed that miR-29c down-regulated in GC tissues and cells. MiR-29c over-expression effectively suppressed the GC cell invasion and migration. Moreover, CDK6 was identified as a direct functional target of miR-29c in GC. The current study provides new insights for the GC treatment and suggests that miR-29c/CDK6 axis is a therapeutic candidate target for GC patients. PMID: 31599417 [PubMed - in process]

High expression of XRCC5 is associated with metastasis through Wnt signaling pathway and predicts poor prognosis in patients with hepatocellular carcinoma.
CONCLUSIONS: Our results suggest that the high expression of XRCC5 predicts poor prognosis in patients with HCC, and XRCC5 may be a potential biomarker to inhibit the invasion and migration of HCC. PMID: 31599408 [PubMed - in process]

Antitumor effects of disulfiram/copper complex in the poorly-differentiated nasopharyngeal carcinoma cells via activating ClC-3 chloride channel
Publication date: December 2019Source: Biomedicine & Pharmacotherapy, Volume 120Author(s): Xiao Xu, Jingkui Xu, Chongyu Zhao, Xiuying Hou, Mengjia Li, Liwei Wang, Lixin Chen, Yehui Chen, Linyan Zhu, Haifeng YangAbstractThe enhancement of the anticancer activity by disulfiram (DSF) chelated with copper (DSF/Cu2+) has been investigated recently, while the underlying molecular mechanisms still need to be fully elucidated. Chloride channel-3 (ClC-3) is over-expressed in a variety of cancers and involves multiple tumor biological events. However, whether the over-expression of ClC-3 in tumor cells affects the sensitivity of ant...

Antitumor effects of disulfiram/copper complex in the poorly-differentiated nasopharyngeal carcinoma cells via activating ClC-3 chloride channel.
Abstract The enhancement of the anticancer activity by disulfiram (DSF) chelated with copper (DSF/Cu2+) has been investigated recently, while the underlying molecular mechanisms still need to be fully elucidated. Chloride channel-3 (ClC-3) is over-expressed in a variety of cancers and involves multiple tumor biological events. However, whether the over-expression of ClC-3 in tumor cells affects the sensitivity of anti-tumor drugs remains unclear. Here, we showed that the involvement of ClC-3 chloride channel in the selective cytotoxicity of DSF/Cu2+ in the poorly-differentiated nasopharyngeal carcinoma. The EC50 o...

Nucleic Acids Delivery Into the Cells Using Pro-Apoptotic Protein Lactaptin
Cell penetrating peptides (CPP) are promising agents for transporting diverse cargo into the cells. The amino acid sequence and the mechanism of lactaptin entry into the cells allow it to be included into CPP group. Lactaptin, the fragment of human milk kappa-casein, and recombinant lactaptin (RL2) were initially discovered as molecules that induced apoptosis of cultured cancer cells and did not affect non-malignant cells. Here, we analyzed the recombinant lactaptin potency to form complexes with nucleic acids and to act as a gene delivery system. To study RL2-dependent delivery, three type of nucleic acid were used as a m...
