Chinese Journal of Clinical Oncology 2015;(13):663-667
Objective:To investigate the expression and clinical significance of microRNA-30a in renal cell carcinoma (RCC). Methods:The miRNA-30a expression in renal tissues and cell lines was detected using quantitative real-time polymerase chain reac-tion (qRT-PCR), and the relationship between miRNA-30a expression and the clinicopathological features of RCC was analyzed. The effect of miRNA-30a on cancer cells was evaluated using methyl thiazolyl tetrazolium (MTT) assay. In addition, a bioinformatics algo-rithm was adopted to predict the potential targets of miRNA-30a. Results:miRNA-30a was downregulated both in RCC tissues and cell lines. Patients with higher miRNA-30a expression exhibited better prognosis than those with lower miRNA-30a expression. Bioin-formatics algorithm and qRT-PCR both indicated that metadherin (MTDH) was a target of miRNA-30a. Moreover, MTT results showed that miRNA-30a could inhibit cell proliferation. Conclusion:miRNA-30a was inhibited in renal cancer, and low miRNA-30a expres-sion was associated with poor prognosis. In addition, miRNA-30a could inhibit the growth of cells through MTDH.

Chinese Pharmacological Bulletin 1987;0(01):-
Aim To study the effects of adenosine triphosphate(ATP) on the proliferation of Chinese esophageal carcinoma Eca-109 and hepatoma SMMC-7721 cells.Methods MTT assay was used to determine the inhibition of the proliferation of the two cultured tumor cell 1ines in vitro by ATP,adenosine(ADO) and uridine triphosphate(UTP).Morphological changes of the two cell lines induced by ATP were observed under light microscope.Results ATP(0.03~0.3 mmol?L~(-1)) and ADO(0.1~0.3 mmol?L~(1)) had inhibitory effects on Eca-109 and SMMC-7721 cells concentration-dependently,and the inhibition by ATP was stronger than that by ADO in both cell lines.For Eca-109 cell line,the maximal inhibition rate of the proliferation by ATP and ADO was 86.36% and 29.88%,and the IC_(50) was 0.056 and 0.823 mmol?L~(-1),respectively.For SMMC-7721 cell line,the maximal inhibition rate of the proliferation by ATP and ADO was 82.06% and 52.84%,and the IC_(50) was 0.218 and 0.517 mmol?L~(-1),respectively.UTP had a very weak inhibitory effect on Eca-109 cell line,with the maximal inhibition rate of 18.27%,and did not significantly affect SMMC-7721 cell line.Exposed to higher concentration(0.3 mmol?L~(-1)) of ATP for 72 h,SMMC-7721 cells displayed morphological changes of apoptosis,but Eca-109 cells did not show the characteristics of apoptosis markedly.Conclusion ATP has a strong inhibitory effect on the proliferation of Eca-109 cell line,which is mainly induced by ATP per se,and a metabolite ADO also has weaker effects.For SMMC-7721 cell line,however,ATP inhibits the cell proliferation mainly via its degradation to ADO.

P 2 purinoceptors were first subdivided into P 2X and P 2Y subtypes, and later this classification was broadened to include P 2T , P 2Z and P 2D subtypes. In the 1990s, a new kind of receptors was found, which respond to UTP, ATP and ATP?S, but not to 2 MeSATP or ?,? MeATP, this finding led to the definition of the so called “P 2U ” or “nucleotide” receptor. Most recent evidence demonstrated the existence of a pyrimidine receptor responding to UTP but not to ATP. For this case, IUPHAR (International Union of Pharmacology) committee recommended that P 2 purinoceptors be subdivided into P2X and P2Y subtypes, any subtypes of intrinsic ion channel be termed P2Xn, and any subtypes of G protein coupled receptor be termed P2Yn purinoceptors. With the development and application of the molecular biologic technique and the cloning and expression of the receptors, the classification was strongly confirmed.

This study examined the effects of arsenic trioxide on apoptosis and interleukin4 release in T cells of asthmatic patients in vitro and investigated the role of Bcl2 in the active mechanism. Tcells were isolated from asthmatic patients (n=21) and healthy controls (n=20), and then treated with arsenic trioxide and dexamethasone. Cell apoptosis was measured using fluorescence microscopy, flow cytometry and a cytochrome c ELISA kit. Interleukin4 levels in the serum and in supernatants from T cells were quantified by ELISA. Flow cytometric analysis and immunofluorescence studies were performed to determine Bcl 2 expression. Tcells of the asthmatic patients (I.e. without treatment) exhibited decelerated spontaneous apoptosis after 24 h incubation in vitro when compared to T cells of the healthy controls. With dexamethasone treatment, an increase in apoptosis of Tcells was not significantly different between both groups, irrespective of the method used. Arsenic trioxide treatment, however, significantly increased the apoptosis of T cells of the asthmatic group and showed a slight effect on the control group. In asthmatic patients, elevated levels of interleukin 4 and upregulated Bcl 2 expression were detected. Moreover, in vitro, T cells of asthmatic patients spontaneously released more interleukin4 and exhibited more Bcl 2 expression than T cells from the control group. Arsenic trioxide treatment significantly decreased interleukin4 release and downregulated Bcl 2 expression in asthmatic patients, while it only slightly affected healthy controls. Dexamethasone treatment decreased interleukin4 release in both groups examined. It did not significantly influence Bcl2 expression. These results suggest that arsenic trioxide induces T cell apoptosis and decreases interleukin4 release in T cells of asthmatic patients in vitro and that downregulation of Bcl2 expression may be an important mechanism.
