Abstract:Histone deacetylase (HDAC) inhibitors have been shown to induce cell cycle arrest and apoptosis in cancer cells. However, the mechanisms of HDAC inhibitor induced apoptosis are not completely understood. In this study, a novel HDAC inhibitor, depsipeptide was found to induce p53-independent apoptosis in human lung cancer cells. Further study showed that Bim, a BH3-only pro-apoptotic protein, was significantly up-regulated by depsipeptide in cancer cells, indicating Bim may play a role in this depsipeptide induced apoptosis. In additional experiments, Bim’s function in depsipeptide-induced apoptosis was confirmed by knock down of Bim with RNAi. Furthermore, depsipeptide-induced expression of Bim was found to be dependent on forkhead transcription factor 1 (FoxO1) by FoxO1 siRNA. These data show for the first time that HDAC inhibitor may induce apoptosis through the FoxO1-Bim pathway. | |||

Abstract:Although previous studies have shown that the mechanism of the lymphocyte mu opioid receptor (MOR) gene expression was distinctly different from that in the central nervous system, and is involved in several disparate aspects of the immune response, its precise molecular mechanism is still undefined. In this study, we analyzed the proximal promoter region of the MOR gene in lymphocytes to identify the influences of potential trans-acting factors in activating the initiation of the expression of the MOR gene in lymphocytes. The electrophoretic mobility shift assay showed that two transcription factors, Sp1 and YY1, were able to bind the promoter region. Using sequence overlapping probes and mutation assays, we determined that the CCC sequence of Sp1 and the GGC sequence of YY1 binding elements were core sequences, and replacement of these sequences lead to substantial loss of promoter activity. Stimulation with morphine was capable of up-regulating the intracellular level of Sp1 and YY1 proteins. Chromatin immunoprecipitation assays showed that the blockage of naloxone is achieved through down-regulation of transcription factor YY1. Furthermore, coimmunoprecipitation and transfection assays confirmed that the functional interaction of Sp1 and YY1 transcription factors was a crucial step in the initiation of expression of the MOR in lymphocytes. Thus, we conclude that the cooperative interaction of Sp1 and YY1 transcription factors is the critical event triggering the initiation of transcription of the MOR gene in lymphocytes, and this finding will be helpful to understand the pharmacological effect of morphine on lymphocytes. | |||

Abstract:nvolvement of AFP against apoptosis of tumor cell has been implicated in its evasion of immune surveillance. However, the molecular events of immune escape mechanisms are still unknown. The major observations reported here relate to a possible mechanism by which heptoloma Bel 7402 cells escape immune surveillance in vitro. Western blotting and a well-characterized cofocal scanning image were performed to analyze the expression of Fas/FasL and caspase-3 in co-cultured Bel 7402 and Jurkat cells. After co-culture with Jurkat cells, up-regulated Fas and reduced FasL expression could be observed. Treatment with AFP could remarkably inhibit the elevated Fas and, whereas, induce the FasL expression in co-cultured Bel 7402 cells. Cells co-culture could induce the expression of caspase-3 in both cells line. The elevated caspase-3 in Bel 7402 cells was abolished following the treatment of AFP. The expression of caspase-3 was elevated in co-cultured Jurkat cells treated with AFP. No detectable | |||
