Background: Different cellular responses influence the progress of cancer. In this study, we have investigated the effect of hydrogen peroxide and quercetin induced changes on cell viability, apoptosis and oxidative stress in human hepatocellular carcinoma (HepG2) cells. Methods: The effects of hydrogen peroxide and quercetin on cell viability, cell cycle phases and oxidative stress related cellular changes were investigated. Cell viability was assessed by WST-1 assay. Apoptosis rate, cell cycle phase changes and oxidative stress were measured by flow cytometry. Protein expressions of p21, p27, p53, NF-Kβ-p50 and proteasome activity were determined by Western blot and fluorometry, respectively. Results: Hydrogen peroxide and quercetin treatment resulted in decreased cell viability and increased apoptosis in HepG2 cells. Proteasome activity was increased by hydrogen peroxide but decreased by quercetin treatment. Conclusion: Both agents resulted in decreased p53 protein expression and increased cell death by different mechanisms regarding proteostasis and cell cycle phases.

AbstractBackgroundPatients with brain tumors treated with radiotherapy (RT) and chemotherapy (CT) often experience cognitive dysfunction. We reported that single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in the APOE, COMT, and BDNF genes may influence cognition in brain tumor patients. In this study, we assessed whether genes associated with late-onset Alzheimer’s disease (LOAD), inflammation, cholesterol transport, dopamine and myelin regulation, and DNA repair may influence cognitive outcome in this population.MethodsOne hundred and fifty brain tumor patients treated with RT ± CT or CT alone completed a neurocognitive assessment and provided a blood sample for genotyping. We genotyped genes/SNPs in these pathways: (i) LOAD risk/inflammation/cholesterol transport, (ii) dopamine regulation, (iii) myelin regulation, (iv) DNA repair, (v) blood–brain barrier disruption, (vi) cell cycle regulation, and (vii) response to oxidative stress. White matter (WM) abnormalities were rated on brain MRIs.ResultsMultivariable linear regression analysis with Bayesian shrinkage estimation of SNP effects, adjusting for relevant demographic, disease, and treatment variables, indicated strong associations (posterior association summary [PAS] ≥ 0.95) among tests of attention, executive functions, and memory and 33 SNPs in genes involved in: LOAD/inflammation/cholesterol transport (eg, PDE7A, IL-6), dopamine regulation (eg, DRD1, COMT), myelin repair (eg, TCF4), DNA repair (eg, RAD51), cell cycle regulation (eg, SESN1), and response to oxidative stress (eg, GSTP1). The SNPs were not significantly associated with WM abnormalities.ConclusionThis novel study suggests that polymorphisms in genes involved in aging and inflammation, dopamine, myelin and cell cycle regulation, and DNA repair and response to oxidative stress may be associated with cognitive outcome in patients with brain tumors.

Background:Juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA) is a well-known chronic rheumatic disease of childhood characterised by progressive joint destruction and severe systemic complications.Immune cells are known to trigger the pathophysiological cascade in JIA, but there is little information regarding the contribution made by Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs). These cells are able to modulate the immune response and decrease the level of pro-inflammatory cytokines. With addition of regenerative property it makes MSCs potential candidates for clinical application as immunosuppressants in treatment of autoimmune diseases.Objectives:To investigate MSCs proliferation, viability and immunomodulatory function in JIA and healthy children.Methods:MSCs were separated from peripheral blood (PB) and synovial fluid (SF) of JIA patients and healthy controls. Cell proliferation rate was counted by Population doublings per day (PDD) during 9 days, in the last of which alamarBlue™ assays were performed to assess cell viability. Due to measure senescence MSCs were stained with SA-β-galactosidase. Immunofluorescence was used to examine the expression of p16, p21, p53. Oxidative stress was measured with DCFH-DA. Cell cycle analysis was evaluated with Propidium Iodide and analysed by Accuri® C6 Flow Cytometer.Commercially-available bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BM-MSCs) were treated with graded concentrations of pro-inflammatory cytokines (0.1-100 ng/ml) with following examination of cell viability. Mixed lymphocyte reactions (MLR) were performed to measure MSC immunomodulatory abilityin vitro.Results:The growth kinetics of JIA-MSCs were different from healthy controls. JIA-MSCs divided slowly and appeared disorganised with large cytoplasm and loads of outgrowth. They demonstrated a decrease in cell proliferation (negative PDD) and metabolic activity. Difference in growth kinetics and metabolic activity were found inside the JIA PB group with some evidence of response following biological treatment. Thus, PB-MSCs from patients treated with TNFi and anti-IL6 medications had notably higher cell proliferation and metabolic activity against JIA patients received other therapy. Considering this difference, it was hypothesised that cytokines obtained in a high amount in PB and SF of JIA patients may influence MSCs viability. To prove this BM-MSCs were treated with cytokines and demonstrated a dose-dependent decrease in metabolic activity significantly after TNFα and IL1, no significantly after treatment with IL6. Both BM-MSCs treated with cytokines and JIA-MSCs displayed high level of reactive oxygen species.Cell cycle analysis revealed that JIA-MSCs were arrested in G0/G1 phase with low number of mitotic cells. In addition, the number of senescence-associated SA-β-gal-positive cells was notably higher in JIA-MSCs. Furthermore, JIA-MSCs expressed high level of immunofluorescence for p16, p21 and p53 which played an important role in regulating the senescence progress of MSCs.Results of MLR showed the ability of BM-MSCs to decrease the percentage of activated T-helpers, T-suppressors, B-cells and natural killers proliferation, while JIA-MSCs lost this property.Conclusion:Taken together current research has demonstrated that under the influence of proinflammatory cytokines JIA-MSCs suffered from oxidative stress and disruption of metabolic activity acquire senescent morphology, shorten of telomere length, arrest in G0 phase of cell cycle and finally loss of immune regulation. We are continuing our research to determine the mechanisms that are responsible for the impaired phenotype with the aim of identifying new therapeutic strategies for the treatment of JIA.Disclosure of Interests: :None declared

We aim to investigate the therapeutic effects of QSYQ, a drug of heart failure (HF) in clinical practice in China, on a rat heart failure (HF) model. 3 groups were divided: HF model group (LAD ligation), QSYQ group (LAD ligation and treated with QSYQ), and sham-operated group. After 4 weeks, rats were sacrificed for cardiac injury measurements. Rats with HF showed obvious histological changes including necrosis and inflammation foci, elevated ventricular remodeling markers levels(matrix metalloproteinases-2, MMP-2), deregulated ejection fraction (EF) value, increased formation of oxidative stress (Malondialdehyde, MDA), and up-regulated levels of apoptotic cells (caspase-3, p53 and tunnel) in myocardial tissue. Treatment of QSYQ improved cardiac remodeling through counter-acting those events. The improvement of QSYQ was accompanied with a restoration of NADPH oxidase 4 (NOX4) and NADPH oxidase 2 (NOX2) pathways in different patterns. Administration of QSYQ could attenuate LAD-induced HF, and AngII-NOX2-ROS-MMPs pathway seemed to be the critical potential targets for QSYQ to reduce the remodeling. Moreover, NOX4 was another key targets to inhibit the p53 and Caspase3, thus to reduce the hypertrophy and apoptosis, and eventually provide a synergetic cardiac protective effect.
