Objective To explore the effects on dogs' testis by microbubbles excitated by ultrasound.Methods Sixteen male dogs were divided into 3 groups randomly.Pulsed ultrasound irradiation and intravenous microbubbles injection were both applied in the microbubble enhanced ultrasound group (MEUS),pulsed ultrasound irradiation and intravenous microbubbles injection were individually applied in the ultrasound group (TUS) and the simple microbubbles group (MB).Results In MEUS group,the layers of seminiferous tubules decreased and the germ cells were arranged disorderly and bubbles appeared in the cells.The appearances of focal ultra-structural damage such as intercellular space widening,baseline broken and tight-connection of sustentacular cells disappearing were observed by transmission electron microscope,which were slightly or hardly demonstrated in other groups.Conclusions Microbubbles excitated by ultrasound can affect testicular germ cells and the integrity of bloold-testis harrier,which providing new train of thought of target treatments of testis diseases.

[摘 要] 目的:探讨miR-216b-5p对食管癌Eca109细胞顺铂(DDP)耐药性的影响及其作用机制。方法:采用qPCR法检测miR-216b-5p在食管癌细胞TE-1、KYSE-150、Eca109和耐药细胞Eca109/DDP中的表达水平。利用脂质体转染技术分别将miR-216b-5p mimic及mimic NC、自噬相关蛋白5(ATG5)过表达质粒转染到Eca109/DDP细胞中,用CCK-8、EdU法和FCM分别检测转染后细胞的增殖和凋亡;mRFP-eGFP-LC3双荧光标记实验检测mRFP-eGFP-LC3慢病毒感染后各组细胞自噬发生情况,WB法检测自噬相关蛋白LC3、Beclin 1和P62表达。用荧光素酶报告基因实验验证miR-216b-5p与ATG5的靶向关系,WB法检测ATG5的表达。建立裸鼠Eca109/DDP细胞移植瘤模型,观察miR-216b-5p过表达对移植瘤生长的影响。结果:miR-216b-5p在TE-1、KYSE-150、Eca109和Eca109/DDP细胞中均呈低表达(均P<0.05)。过表达miR-216b-5p可显著抑制Eca109/DDP细胞的增殖并诱导凋亡(均P<0.05),减少细胞中自噬小体数量(P<0.05),下调LC3Ⅱ/LC3Ⅰ比值和Beclin 1蛋白水平、上调P62蛋白水平(均P<0.05)。双荧光素酶报告基因实验证实miR-216b-5p靶向并负调控ATG5的表达(P<0.05),过表达ATG5可使miR-216b-5p mimic对Eca109/DDP细胞增殖、自噬的抑制作用和凋亡的诱导作用明显减弱(均P<0.05),自噬相关蛋白P62表达降低、LC3Ⅱ/LC3Ⅰ比值和Beclin 1表达升高(均P<0.05)。荷瘤实验结果表明,miR-216b-5p过表达可显著抑制裸鼠移植瘤的生长(P<0.05)。结论:miR-216b-5p过表达可逆转食管癌Eca109/DDP细胞对DDP的耐药性,其机制可能与靶向负调控ATG5表达并影响细胞自噬有关。

Pancreatic adenocarcinoma (PAAD) is one of the most lethal malignancies. Although gemcitabine (GEM) is a standard treatment for PAAD, resistance limits its application and therapy. Secoemestrin C (Sec C) is a natural compound from the endophytic fungus Emericella, and its anticancer activity has not been investigated since it was isolated. Our research is the first to indicate that Sec C is a broad-spectrum anticancer agent and could exhibit potently similar anticancer activity both in GEM-resistant and GEM-sensitive PAAD cells. Interestingly, Sec C exerted a rapid growth-inhibiting effect (80% death at 6 h), which might be beneficial for patients who need rapid tumor shrinkage before surgery. Liquid chromatography/mass spectrometry and N-acetyl-l-cysteine (NAC) reverse assays show that Sec C sulfates cysteines to disrupt disulfide-bonds formation in endoplasmic reticulum (ER) proteins to cause protein misfolding, leading to ER stress and disorder of lipid biosynthesis. Microarray data and subsequent assays show that ER stress-mediated ER-associated degradation (ERAD) ubiquitinates and downregulates YAP to enhance ER stress via destruction complex (YAP-Axin-GSK-βTrCP), which also elucidates a unique degrading style for YAP. Potent anticancer activity in GEM-resistant cells and low toxicity make Sec C a promising anti-PAAD candidate.
