Objective To explore the mechanism of long chain noncoding RNA RORin regulating prolifer-ation and apoptosis of pancreatic cancer cell. Methods Pancreatic cancer cell line BxPC-3 was selected. The RNA level of lncRNA ROR and notch1 was detected by RT-PCR.Notch1 protein level was detected by Western blot. The regulating relationship between lncRNA ROR and notch1 was analyzedby RNAhybird and luciferase re-porter assay. At last ,CCK-8 and TUNEL were applied to detectthe proliferation and apoptosis of cell line. Re-sults lncRNA ROR and notch1 were highly expressed in pancreatic cancer tissue ,compared with normal tis-sues. There was positive correlation between them. lncRNA ROR was over-expressed in BxPC-3,cell proliferation activity was increased and the percentagesof DNA damaged positive cells was decreased ,accompanied by in-creased levels of notch1 mRNA and protein. Luciferase assay confirmed that ROR could bind to notch1and inhibit its activity by miR-137. Compared with control group ,the proliferation of pcDNA-ROR + si-notch1 cells reduced and the proportion of TUNEL positive cells increased. The differences were statistically significant. Conclusionl ncRNA ROR regulated the proliferation and apoptosis of pancreatic cancer cells by promoting the expression of notch1.

BACKGROUND: It has reported that nicotinamide is capable of protecting intervertebral disc (IVD) against interleukin-1β (IL-1β) or tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α) induced degeneration. However, the protective mechanism of nicotinamide on IVD cells apoptosis and proliferation remains unclear.OBJECTIVE: To investigate regulatory effects of nicotinamide on rabbit nucleus pulposus cell apoptosis and proliferation in vitro.DESIGN, TIME AND SETTING: Randomized control grouping design, which was carried out in the Laboratory of Orthopaedics and Stem Cell Center, Union Hospital Affiliated to Tongji Medical College, Huazhong University of Science and Technology from April to October 2007.MATERIALS: Ten Japanese white rabbits (aged 2-3 months weighing 1.5-2.0 kg) were used in this study. Furthermore, nucleus pulposus cells obtained from L1-6 lumbar spine were harvested and cultured for further experiments.METHODS: The NP cells were divided into 6 groups, including control group (without any drug as control), nicotinamide group (0.5 g/L nicotinamide), IL-1β group (10 μg/L IL-1β), IL-1β + caspase group (10 μg/L IL-1β and non-specific caspase inhibitor Z-VAD-FMK), IL-1β + small-dose nicotinamide group (10 μg/L IL-1β and 0.05 g/L nicotinamide), and IL-1β + large-dose nicotinamide group (10 μg/L IL-1β and 0.5 g/L nicotinamide). After 3 days of culture, the cells were examined with Annexin V-PI staining, caspase-3, 8 and 9 activity staining and MTT assay.MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: The apoptotic rates, the positive rates of caspase-3, 8 and 9 activity staining and the absorbance of MTT assay of each group.RESULTS: ① As compared to IL-1β group, the apoptotic rates were decreased in the IL-1β + caspase group and IL-1β + large-dose nicotinamide group (P < 0.01). ②As compared to IL-1β group, the positive rates of caspase-3, 8 and 9 activity staining were decreased in the IL-1β + caspase group, IL-1β + large-dose and small-dose nicotinamide groups (P < 0.01 or P < 0.01). ③As compared to IL-1β group, the absorbance was increased in the IL-1β + caspase group and IL-1β + large-dose nicotinamide group (P < 0.01).CONCLUSION: Nicotinamide is capable of promoting cell proliferation and inhibiting IL-1β induced apoptosis of nucleus pulposus cells in vitro. The inhibition of apoptosis mainly acts via inhibition of the mitochondrial pathway.

Background and purpose: The miR-224 in a variety of malignant tumors is overexpression, however, its expression and function in colon cancer are not clear. The aim of this study was to investigate the expression of miR-301 in colon cancer tissues and demonstrate the regulative effects of miR-301 ASO on the proliferation and apoptosis of colon cancer cell in vitro and in vitro. Methods:The expression of miR-301 in 120 colon cancer tissues and their adjacent tissues was detected by real-time quantitative PCR method. After transfection with miR-301ASO, the biological effects of miR-301 in SW620 cells were measured by MTT assay, the colony formation experiment, flow cytometry and the in vivo experiment. Results: The expression level of miR-301 was found to be overexpressed in 63.33% (76/120) of the colon cancer cases (P<0.05). miR-301 expression in SW620 cells (transfection with miR-301 ASO, 0.09±0.01) was significantly less than control group (0.50±0.07, P=0.00). MTT assay results showed that SW620 cells survived rate at 24, 48 and 96 h decreased greatly after transfection with miR-301ASO (P=0.00). Clone formation assay revealed that miR-301 ASO group colony formation rate (5.33%±0.74%) was significantly lower than the control group (33.33%±8.38%, P=0.00). In vivo study further confirmed that miR-301ASO could inhibit the proliferation of SW620 cells (P<0.05), and miR-301ASO group grew substantially slow compared with the negative control group (P=0.00). Flow cytometry indicated that the apoptotic index in miR-301 ASO group (15.68±1.46) was significantly higher than the control group (3.36±0.88, P=0.02). In addition, the Bcl2 mRNA and protein were significantly decreased after reduce the expression of miR-301 (P=0.00, P=0.00). Conclusion:MiR-301 was overexpressed in human colon cancer. Reduce the expression of miR-301 can effectively inhibit the growth of colon cancer cells and promote apoptosis. MiR-301 may become a new target for the regulation of gene expression in colon cancer.
