Objective To investigate signal transduction mechanism of phospholipase C?1 (PLC?1) in colorectal cancer cells. Methods Gel electrophoresis mobility shift assay (EMSA), immunocytochemistry, zymography and RT-PCR were performed to investigate the function of PLC?1 on nuclear factor-Kappa B (NF-?B), matrix metalloproteinase-2 (MMP-2) and tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinase-2 (TIMP-2) in LoVo cell. Results Compared with control group, nuclear positive rate of cells treated with epidermal growth factor (EGF) increased significantly (from 26.91%?2.84% to 40.83%?4.36%), while that of cells treated with 2.5mol/L U73122 decreased to 12.20%?1.89%. Meanwhile, pretreatment with 2.5mol/L U73122 before EGF treatment decreased nuclear positive rate of cells from 40.83%?4.36% to 18.21%?1.34%. The results of EMSA further verified that PLC?1 can regulate the activity of NF-?B. RT-PCR results showed that EGF, PLC?1 or NF-?B had no significant effect on the expression of MMP-2, TIMP-2 at mRNA level. Furthermore, zymography indicated that the activity of MMP-2 did not change dramatically by EGF, PLC?1 or NF-?B. Conclusion These data suggested that EGF-PLC?1-NF-?B signaling pathway was operative in LoVo cell, but MMP-2 and TIMP-2 may not be regulated by EGFR-PLC?1-NF-?B signaling pathway.

Objective: To investigate the function and mechanism of phospholipase Cγ1 (PLCγ1) in cell-matrix adhesion in colorectal cancer. Methods: Highly metastatic colorectal cancer cell line LoVo and lowly metastatic colorectal cancer cell line SW480 were subjected to cell-matrix adhesion assay. U73122 (a specific inhibitor of PLC) and pyrrolidine dithiocarbamate (PDTC) (an inhibitor of NF-κB) were used to study the effect of PLCγ1 and NF-κB on cell-matrix adhesion. Furthermore, Western blot and gel electrophoresis mobility shift assay (EMSA) were performed to detect the mechanism of PLCγ1 in colorectal cancer cell adhesion to matrix. Results: Inhibition of PLCγ1 or NF-κB resulted in reduction of cell-matrix adhesion in a dose-dependent manner in LoVo cells(P<0.05), but had no marked effect on SW480 cells. Western blot analysis showed that epidermal growth factor (EGF) stimulated the phosphorylation of PLCγ1 in LoVo. The results of EMSA indicated that inhibition of PLCγ1 signaling pathway also down-regulated the activity of NF-κB while EGF reversed the function. Conclusion:These data suggest that PLCγ1 plays a pivotal role in the EGF-induced cell-matrix adhesion of highly metastatic colorectal cancer cells and that NF-κB is also functional in this signaling pathway.

Objective To evaluate the inhibitory effect of highly selective M4 receptor antagonist MT3 on the form deprivation myopia in guinea pigs and its potential mechanism. Methods Thirty?two healthy male guinea pigs were ran?domly divided into three groups:control group, form deprivation group, and form deprivation + MT3 group, 8 animals in each group. Refraction was measured by retinoscopy after cycloplegia before and after the experiment. The ocular biological dimensions were measured by A?scan ultrasound. RT?PCR was used to detect the relative expression of TGF?β2 mRNA in the retina and choroid. Results Compared with the right eyes of control group, the right eyes of form deprivation + MT3 group developed relative myopia of -1?44 ± 0?50 D (right?left eye) (P =0?001). The vitreous chamber depth and axial length of the right eyes were significantly prolonged by 0?10 ± 0?02 mm and 0?14 ± 0?07 mm (P<0?001, P<0?001), respectively, but the increases of myopia and axial length were significantly smaller than that of the form deprivation group (P<0?001, P<0?001, P<0?001). Down?regulation of relative mRNA expression of TGF?β2 in retina and choroid was found in the form deprivation group (P<0?001, P =0?014) compared with the right eyes of the control group, while up?regulation of relative mRNA expression of TGF?β2 in retina and choroid was found in the form deprivation + MT3 group ( P<0?001, P<0?001). Conclusions MT3 can inhibit the development of form deprivation myopia in guinea pigs, which may play an important role by the regulation of TGF?β2 mRNA level in the retina and choroid.
