Background and purpose:Numerous researches indicated that the expression of pituitary tumor transforming gene1 (PTTG1) was correlated with the severity of glioma tumors. However the specific mechanism of PTTG1 is not clear in glioma. In this study, we explored the role and significance of PTTG1 in the invasion of glioma cells. Methods:Western blot was used to detect the expression of PTTG1 protein in various glioma cell lines. siRNA plasmid was used to transfect U87 cells. Western blot was used to analyze the expression of PTTG1 protein in transfected U87 cells. Matrigel invasion assay was used to detect the invasive ability in the cells being transfected in vitro. Western blot was used to analyze epithelial growth factor (EGF) induced protein phosphorylation of ARK5 and Akt in the cells being transfected PTTG1 plasmid (siPTTG1/U87) and scrambled siRNA (Scr/U87). Results:The expression of PTTG1 protein was higher in all glioma cell lines. After transfection, the invasion of siPTTG1/U87 was obviously decreased after 5 min with EGF stimulation than the Scr/U87, the phosphorylation of ARK5 and Akt was significantly enhanced. However, whether or not the existence of EGF, the phosphorylation of ARK5 and Akt had no differences in siPTTG1/U87. Conclusion:In glioma cells, PTTG1 protein is high expressed and maybe have an important function in glioma cells invasion through Akt-ARK5 signaling pathway.

Objective To investigate the relationship between the genetic polymorphisms, which played roles in the pathogenesis of metabolic syndrome (MS), and susceptibility of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) in Han people in Guangdong province. Methods The subjects were selected from an epidemiologie survey in Guangdong province. Fifty to 117 adult NAFLD patients, who met the criteria of Chinese guideline for diagnosis of NAFLD and had typically clinical, biochemical signs and abdominal ultrasonography, were recruited in the study. By using 1 : 1 matched method of nested case-control study, same numbers of people without NAFLD were included as controls. The genetic analyses was performed by using genomic DNA extracted from peripheral blood. Polymerase chain reaction (PCR)-restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) was applied to detect the single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) at 9 sites in 7 candidate genes. Results Most SNPs of the genes were related to the susceptibility of NAFLD. Some of them had positive relation (increasing the risk) such as tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α-238, adiponectin-45, leptin-2548, peroxisome proliferator-activated receptors (PPAR) γ-161 and phosphatidylethanolamine N-methyltransferase (PEMT)-175. Some had negative relation (decreasing the risk) including adiponectin-276 and hepatic lipase-514. And some had no relation (TNF-α-380 and PPAR g coactivator-1α-482). Conclusion Most cytokines' SNPs of candidate genes discovered in MS patients are related to the susceptibility of NAFLD.
