Glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD) derives from the expression of the house-keeping gene G6PD. Recent studies have indicated that G6PD is related to tumor genesis, growth, clinical phenotype, therapy, and prognosis. To elucidate the relationship between G6PD and cancer, three siRNA sequences and one negative control sequence were designed based on the 3' noncoding region of the human G6PD gene. Two complementary single-strand DNA (sense and antisense) were designed and synthesized based on siRNA sequences. The DNA fragments were annealed and ligated to the GFP expression vector pRNAT-U6.2/Lenti. One siRNA with higher interference efficiency than the other two was found after siRNA plasmid transfecting human skin A375 melanoma cells. After lentivirus particle packaging and virus production, the A375 cells were infected, and the single cell clone was acquired and cultured to establish the stable cell strain. Western blotting showed that the endogenous G6PD in the stable A375 cell strain was 0.257 ? 0.074, which was 11.17% of G6PD expression (2.301 ? 0.286) in wild type A375 cells. The final siRNA interference efficiency in this stable cell strain was 88.83%. The G6PD activity of A375-G6PD?驻 was 21.53% of A375-WT. Further study showed that A375-G6PD△ doubling generation time prolonged, and its proliferation was greatly inhibited and the cloning efficiency lowered 25%(P

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the mechanism of mitochondrial oxidative injury induced by high glucose peritoneal dialysis solution (PDS) and the protective effect of peroxisome proliferator activated receptor gamma coactivator 1-alpha (PGC-1α) in the mitochondria of human peritoneal mesothelial cells (HPMC) in the high glucose ambience. METHODS: HPMC was cultured in a PDS containing 1.5%, 2.5% and 4.25% glucose for 24 hours. Western blot analysis was used to detect PGC-1α expression. MitoSOX? Red staining, respiratory chain complexes and antioxidant enzyme activities were determined. RESULTS: The activities of respiratory chain complex III and antioxidant enzymes decreased significantly in a concentration- and time-dependent manner, along with the increased production of mitochondrial reactive oxygen species (ROS) and cellular apoptosis. In addition, protein expression of PGC-1α was also decreased in the high glucose PDS ambience. CONCLUSION High glucose PDS might inhibit PGC-1α expression, resulting in the inhibition of mitochondrial function and increase of mitochondrial ROS and cellular apoptosis.
