AIM:To investigate whether trichostatin A ( TSA) , a new revulsant ,can induce mouse mesenchy-mal stem cells to differentiate into insulin-secreting cells and to explore the appropriate concentration of TSA .METHODS:The mesenchymal stem cell line from C57BL/6 mice was cultured in vitro and divided into 5 groups before treated with dif-ferent concentrations of TSA , ( group A:DMSO;group B~E:treated with 25 nmol/L, 50 nmol/L, 100 nmol/L and 200 nmol/L of TSA, respectively).After exposed to different cultured media for 10 d during the 2 stages, the cells were detec-ted by the following methods:the insulin-secreting cells in each group were identified by dithizone staining and the results were calculated with immunohistochemical half quantitative analysis .The insulin secreted by insulin-secreting cells in each group was identified by immunofluorescence , and the mean fluorescence intensity of insulin was compared .The content of insulin in each group was quantified by ELISA .The appropriate concentration of TSA was determined according to the above results .RESULTS:TSA treatment for 10 d promoted the mouse bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells to differenti-ate into insulin-secreting cells which produced insulin .The immunohistochemistry and immunofluorescence imaging analysis of insulin-secreting cells showed that the insulin staining positive area , positive ratio , total density of insulin expression and mean fluorescence intensity of insulin in group B were significantly higher than those in the other TSA -treated groups .When the concentrations of TSA gradually increased , the content of insulin reduced accordingly .The content of insulin in group B was significantly higher than that in the other TSA-treated groups .CONCLUSION:TSA treatment for 10 d promotes bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells from C57BL/6 mice to differentiate into insulin-secreting cells and the appropriate concen-tration of TSA is 25 nmol/L.

Background and purpose: Alternative splicing is an important regulation mechanism of gene expression. Aberrant alternative splicing is associated with dysregulation of the cell cycle, activation of oncogenes and inactivation of the tumor suppressor genes. Thus, it is closely correlated with the pathogenesis and progression of various tumors. DNA methylation is an important part of epigenetic phenomena. Aberrant methylation of the gene promoter can result in gene silencing. Hypermethylation of tumor suppressor genes and DNA repair genes correlates with the onset of many different cancers. Additionally, DNA methylation acts as a pivotal factor for alternative splicing. Aberrant methylation disrupts the stabilization of the alternative splicing. This study investigated the promoter methylation and expression of RNA binding protein, fox-1 homolog 1 (RBFOX1) gene in esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC), and to elucidate its role in ESCC. Methods: MassARRAY approach and RT-PCR were used respectively to examine the methylation level of RBFOX1 gene and its expression at mRNA level in tumors and corresponding adjacent normal tissues. The correlation between methylation level and clinicopathological features was analyzed. Results:RBFOX1 methylation level and mRNA expression in tumor tissues were signiifcantly lower than those in corresponding adjacent normal tissues (41.8% vs 68.3%, P<0.01). No significant correlation was observed between methylation level and clinicopathological features. The cut-off (33.6%) was calculated as the mean of the normal samples to which we applied 2.5 SD. According to the cut-off value, the object of the study was divided into two groups. The methylation level lower than the cut-off was deifned as group 1;methylation level higher than the cut-off was deifned as group 2. The 5-year overall survival rates of the two groups were 57.0%and 35.7%, respectively (P=0.06);5-year progression-free survival rates were 48.7%and 28.9%, respectively (P=0.03). However, the multivariate analysis results indicated that TNM stage was the independent factor of prognosis.Conclusion: The methylation level and mRNA expression of RBFOX1 in tumor specimens are signiifcantly lower than those in corresponding adjacent normal tissues. The methylation level of the RBFOX1 promoter is not an independent factor of prognosis.
