Evaluation of in vitro and in vivo therapeutic antitumor efficacy of transduction of polo-like kinase 1 and heat shock transcription factor 1 small interfering RNA.
Authors: Hattori Y, Kikuchi T, Ozaki KI, Onishi H Abstract Mitotic progression is regulated by the phosphorylation of heat shock transcription factor 1 (HSF1) by polo-like kinase 1 (PLK1); however, this interaction is often deregulated in tumors. High expression levels of PLK1 and HSF1 have been observed in various types of human cancer. In the present study, it was investigated whether small interfering (si)RNA against PLK1 or HSF1 could suppress tumor growth in vitro and in vivo. In vitro transfection of PLK1 and HSF1 siRNA into PKL1- and HSF1-positive human breast tumor MDA-MB-231 and human cervical carcinoma He...

Anti-apoptosis Effect of Decoy Receptor 3 in Cholangiocarcinoma Cell Line TFK-1.
CONCLUSIONS: The effect of DcR3 on the growth and apoptosis of cholangiocarcinoma has been demonstrated. DcR3 is not only a predictive marker for malignant tumor but it is also likely to be a potential target for cancer gene therapy. Further studies should focus on exploring the binding ligand of DcR3, the signaling pathway involved, and the molecular mechanism for the regulation of DcR3 expression in cholangiocarcinoma.

Inhibition of prostate cancer DU145 cell growth with small interfering RNA targeting the SATB1 gene.
Authors: Wang Q, Yang CS, Ma ZX, Chen JC, Zheng JN, Sun XQ, Wang JQ Abstract Prostate cancer is a common visceral cancer of men worldwide. It is important to develop a more effective treatment for prostate cancer to overcome the treatment resistance that occurs with recurrence. RNA interference has been demonstrated to be a powerful tool for gene knockdown and has potential as a cancer treatment. It has been previously demonstrated that staining of special AT-rich sequence-binding protein 1 (SATB1) was stronger in prostatic carcinoma with metastasis compared with prostatic carcinoma without metastasis. In the prese...

Role of vasodilator-stimulated phosphoprotein in human cytomegalovirus-induced hyperpermeability of human endothelial cells.
Authors: Tian Y, He Y, Zhang L, Zhang J, Xu L, Ma Y, Xu X, Wei L Abstract Atherosclerosis (AS) is a common chronic vascular disease and epidemiological evidence demonstrates that infection is closely associated with the occurrence of AS, including infection by human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) and Chlamydophila pneumoniae. The aim of the present study was to investigate the effect of HCMV AD169 infection on the barrier function of human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) and to understand the role of vasodilator-stimulated phosphoprotein (VASP) during this process. In cultured HUVEC-CRL-1730 cells, knockdown of V...

EP1 receptor is involved in prostaglandin E2-induced osteosarcoma growth.
Authors: Niu JC, Ma N, Liu W, Wang PJ Abstract Recent studies showed that the activation of prostaglandin (PG) receptor EP1 promotes cell migration and invasion in different cancers. The aim of this study was to investigate the role of EP1 in the proliferation of osteosarcoma (OS) cells in vitro and in vivo. EP1 mRNA and protein levels were analyzed by real-time RT-PCR and Western blot, respectively in human OS cell lines MG63, OS732, U-2OS, HOS and SAOS-2 compared to human fetal osteoblastic hFOB 1.19 cells. MG63 cells were treated with PGE2, EP1 specific agonist 17-PT-PGE2, 17-PT-PGE2 + EP1 specific antagonist SC...

Suppression of the long non-coding RNA MALAT-1 impairs the growth and migration of human tongue squamous cell carcinoma SCC4 cells.
Conclusions: Elevated expression of MALAT-1 in OSCC may play a role in tumorigenesis and/or metastasis. Further studies are necessary to identify the mechanism by which MALAT-1 influences SCC4 growth and migration and validate its increased expression in OSCC patients. PMID: 31360193 [PubMed]

MicroRNA-1236-3p/translationally controlled tumor protein (TPT1) axis participates in congenital hypothyroidism progression by regulating neuronal apoptosis.
Authors: Meng T, Shen S, Li C, Liu X Abstract Congenital hypothyroidism (CH) is an endocrine disease caused by congenital thyroid hormone (TH) deficiency. MicroRNAs (miRNAs or miRs) have been reported to inhibit the progression of congenital hypothyroidism. However, the expression and role of miR-1236-3p in CH remains unclear. To address this, 12 day old Sprague-Dawley rats were divided into five groups: Control; Congenital hypothyroidism (CH), miR-1236-3p inhibitor control (inhibitor control); miR-1236-3p inhibitor (inhibitor); and miR-1236-3p inhibitor + translationally-controlled tumor protein 1 (TPT1)-small int...

lncRNA WT1-AS is upregulated in osteoporosis and regulates the apoptosis of osteoblasts by interacting with p53
Exp Ther Med. 2021 Jul;22(1):734. doi: 10.3892/etm.2021.10166. Epub 2021 May 9.ABSTRACTIn cervical cancer, cellular tumor antigen p53 (p53) interacts with long non-coding WT1 antisense RNA (WT1-AS) and this protein serves an important role in osteoporosis. The present study aimed to investigate the role of WT1-AS in osteoporosis. WT1-AS was upregulated in the plasma of patients with osteoporosis and was positively correlated with p53 expression. Altered expression of WT1-AS and p53 separated patients with osteoporosis from healthy controls. Expression levels of WT1-AS and p53 decreased with prolonged treatment. In osteobla...

Application of TGF- β1, TIMP-1 and TIMP-2 small interfering RNAs can alleviate CCl < sub > 4 < /sub > -induced hepatic fibrosis in rats by rebalancing Th1/Th2 cytokines
Exp Ther Med. 2021 Sep;22(3):963. doi: 10.3892/etm.2021.10395. Epub 2021 Jul 7.ABSTRACTThe present study aimed to investigate the effects of TGF-β1, tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinase (TIMP)-1 small interfering (si)RNA and TIMP-2 siRNA on hepatic fibrosis in rats and explore the T helper (Th)1/Th2 balance. Moreover, IFN-γ, IL-4 and IL-13 are the main cytokines associated with Th1/Th2 responses and have significant influence on the progression of hepatic fibrosis. The expression levels of IFN-γ, IL-4 and IL-13 in rats with hepatic fibrosis that were treated with siRNAs against the aforementioned molecules were measure...
