Objective:To study the role and specific mechanisms of glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD), a key enzyme for glycometabolism, mediated reduction stress in arsenic-induced malignant transformation of cells.Methods:Immortalized human skin keratinocyte-forming cells (HaCaT cells) were treated with sodium arsenite (NaAsO 2) at a concentration of 0.0 (control group) and 1.0 μmol/L (arsenic group), and malignant transformation indicators were tested using cell growth kinetics assay, cell scratch assay, and soft agar colony formation assay. At different stages of arsenic treatment (0, 1, 7, 14, 21, 28, 35 passages of cells), the effects of NaAsO 2 on glycometabolism in HaCaT cells were determined using corresponding reagent kits and Western blot, including glucose-6-phosphate (G6P), lactate, acetyl CoA, G6PD levels, as well as protein expression levels of hexokinase 2 (HK-2), 6-phosphofructose-2-kinase/fructose-2, 6-diphosphatase 3 (PFKFB3), pyruvate dehydrogenase kinase 1 (PDK1), 6-phosphoglucose dehydrogenase (PGD), and G6PD. Mitochondria were extracted, and the effects of NaAsO 2 on HaCaT cells and mitochondrial redox [reduced nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NADPH)/nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NADP +) ratio, reduced glutathione (GSH)/oxidized glutathione (GSSG) ratio] were determined using corresponding reagent kits. The effect of G6PD on reduction stress and NaAsO 2-induced malignant transformation of HaCaT cells was determined using small interfering RNA (siRNA) intervention method. Results:Compared 1.0 μmol/L NaAsO 2-cultured HaCaT cells up to 35 generations (T-HaCaT cells) with matching passage 0.0 μmol/L NaAsO 2-cultured HaCaT cells [(33.797 ± 0.280) h, 0.177 ± 0.015, 13.667 ± 2.625], the multiplication time [(24.042 ± 0.479) h] was shorter ( t = 30.45, P < 0.001), the cell migration rate (0.396 ± 0.039) was higher ( t = 9.08, P < 0.001), and the number of colonies formed in soft agar (73.667 ± 4.450) was higher ( t = 20.11, P < 0.001). Compared with matching passage control group cells and 0 generation of the same group, G6P level in the arsenic group was higher at passages 1, 7, 14, 21, 28 and 35 ( P < 0.05), lactate and G6PD levels were higher at passages 14, 21, 28 and 35 ( P < 0.05), acetyl CoA level was lower at passages 21, 28 and 35 ( P < 0.05), and protein expression levels of HK-2, PFKFB3, PDK1, PGD, and G6PD were higher at passages 7, 14, 21, 28 and 35 ( P < 0.05). The NADPH/NADP + ratio of cells was higher at passages 1, 14, 21, 28 and 35 ( P < 0.05), GSH/GSSG ratio was higher at passages 21, 28 and 35 ( P < 0.05). The ratio of mitochondrial NADPH/NADP + was higher at passages 1, 7, 21, 28 and 35 ( P < 0.05), the GSH/GSSG ratio was higher at passages 1, 7, 14, 21, 28 and 35 ( P < 0.05). G6PD expression was silenced by siRNA in T-HaCaT cells, compared with the T-HaCaT con siRNA-treated group, the T-HaCaT G6PD siRNA-treated group had lower NADPH/NADP + and GSH/GSSG ratios in both cells and mitochondria ( P < 0.05), longer cell multiplication time, lower cell migration rate, and fewer soft agar colonies ( P < 0.05). Conclusion:During the malignant transformation of HaCaT cells induced by NaAsO 2, G6PD and other enzymes related to glycometabolism are activated, leading to reprogramming of glycometabolism, resulting in an imbalance of cell redox homeostasis and enhanced reduction stress in cells and mitochondria, thereby promoting NaAsO 2 induced malignant transformation of HaCaT cells.

Objective To study the effect of exosomes ( EXs) released from high expression of miR-132-3p mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) on hypoxia/reoxygenation (H/R) injured endothelial cell function. Methods MSCs extracted from bone marrow of C57BL/6 mice were cultured primarily. MSCmiR-132-3p was obtained from MSCs infected with lentivirus loaded with miR-132-3p vector.
