<b><i>Aims:</i></b> The invasion of extravillous trophoblast (EVT) cells into maternal decidua is essential for the establishment and maintenance of pregnancy. Derangement of EVT cell invasion might cause pregnancy complications including recurrent miscarriage (RM). We previously reported that deficiency of monoclonal nonspecific suppressor factor beta (MNSFβ) led to the early pregnancy failure in mice and the decidual MNSFβ expression level in RM patients was significantly decreased, but the underlying molecular mechanism of the role that MNSFβ played at the maternal-fetal interface remains unclear. Thus, in the present study, we determined effects of downregulated MNSFβ expression on human EVT cell activities. <b><i>Methods:</i></b> The MNSFβ expression in first-trimester human decidual and placental villus tissues was detected, respectively, by immunofluorescence or immunohistochemical analyses. The MNSFβ expression level in the immortalized first-trimester human EVT cell line HTR8/SVneo was downregulated by transfecting the small interfering RNA against MNSFβ and upregulated by transfecting the recombinant pDsRed-MNSFβ plasmids. The proliferation, migration, invasion, and apoptosis activities of HTR8/SVneo cells were, respectively, determined by cytometry assay, scratch test, transwell assay, and FITC/PI staining. The expression levels of P53, RhoA, Bcl-2, Bax, and MMP-9 in HTR8/SVneo cells, as well as the expression levels of MNSFβ and RhoA in placental villi of RM patients and physically normal pregnant women (NP), were examined by Western blot analysis. <b><i>Results:</i></b> MNSFβ protein signals were observed in first-trimester human villus and extravillous trophoblast cells. The downregulated MNSFβ expression significantly attenuated the proliferation, migration, and invasion abilities of HTR8/SVneo cells, accompanied with the obviously decreased expression levels of P53, RhoA, Bcl-2, Bax, and MMP-9, whereas the upregulated MNSFβ expression in HTR8/SVneo cells represented the inverse effects. Furthermore, expression levels of MNSFβ and RhoA in first-trimester human placental villus tissues of RM patients were significantly decreased compared to that of NP women. <b><i>Conclusion:</i></b> These data suggested that MNSFβ promotes proliferation and migration of human EVT cells, probably via the P53 signaling pathway, and the deficiency of MNSFβ in placental villi might lead to early pregnancy loss by reducing proliferation and invasion activities of EVTs.

The invasion of maternal decidua by extravillous trophoblast (EVT) is essential for the establishment and maintenance of pregnancy, and abnormal trophoblast invasion could lead to placenta-associated pathologies including early pregnancy loss and preeclampsia. SEC5, a component of the exocyst complex, plays important roles in cell survival and migration, but its role in early pregnancy has not been reported. Thus, the present study was performed to explore the functions of SEC5 in trophoblast cells. The results showed that SEC5 expression in human placental villi at first trimester was significantly higher than it was at the third trimester, and it was abundantly localized in the cytotrophoblast (CTB) and the trophoblastic column. SEC5 knockdown was accompanied by reduced migration and invasion in HTR-8/SVneo cells. In addition, the expression and plasma membrane distribution of integrin β1 was also decreased. Furthermore, shRNA-mediated knockdown of SEC5 inhibited the outgrowth of first trimester placental explants. SEC5 and InsP3R were colocalized in the cytoplasm of HTR-8/SVneo cells, and the cell-permeant calcium chelator BAPTA-AM could significantly inhibit HTR-8/SVneo cell invasion. The Ca2+ imaging results showed that the 10% fetal bovine serum-stimulated cytosolic calcium concentration ([Ca2+]c) was not only reduced by downregulated SEC5 but also was blocked by the InsP3R inhibitor. Furthermore, either the [Ca2+]c was buffered by BAPTA-AM or the knockdown of SEC5 disrupted HTR-8/SVneo cell F-actin stress fibers and caused cytoskeleton derangement. Taken together, our results suggest that SEC5 might be involved in regulating trophoblast cell migration and invasion through the integrin/Ca2+ signal pathway to induce cytoskeletal rearrangement.

Abstract RUNX1 generally functions as a tumor suppressor in the hematopoietic system. However, RUNX1 expression is significantly elevated in human AML cells with FLT3/ITD mutations, promotes leukemogenesis induced by FLT3/ITD (Behrens et al. JEM 2017) and enhances the resistance of FLT3/ITD + cells to type-II FLT3 inhibitor quizartinib (Hirade et al IJH 2016). We previously reported that RUNX1 expression is higher in CXCR4-low FLT3/ITD + cells compared to Cxcr4-high FLT3/ITD + cells, even though Cxcr4 expression is trans-activated by RUNX1. This difference in RUNX1 expression level was associated with divergent response to CXCL12 in FLT3/ITD + cells harboring different CXCR4 expression levels that were exposed to quizartinib (Fukuda S. et al. ASH 2019). Our data also demonstrated that RUNX1 expression is down-regulated following withdrawal of quizartinib in FLT3/ITD + cells that became refractory to quizartinib (Hirade et al. IJH 2016), suggesting that RUNX1 expression may be up-regulated by quizartinib in FLT3/ITD + cells. Since RUNX1 regulates proliferation of FLT3/ITD + AML cells, the present study investigated association between RUNX1 expression levels and proliferation of quizartinib resistant FLT3/ITD + cells that are exposed to quizartinib. In the sensitive FLT3/ITD + Ba/F3 cells, RUNX1 protein expression was transiently up-regulated but eventually down-regulated by 5 nM quizartinib, coincident with decline in the viable cells. In contrast, RUNX1 expression was up-regulated by quizartinib and remained elevated in the resistant FLT3/ITD + Ba/F3 cells. Since RUNX1 enhances proliferation of FLT3/ITD + cells, we next examined whether proliferation FLT3/ITD + cells that acquired resistance to quizartinib is facilitated by quizaritinib as a result from quizartinib-mediated up-regulation of RUNX1, using the Cxcr4-low and Cxcr4-high FLT3/ITD + cells that acquired resistance to quizartinib. Although CXCL12 barely enhanced the proliferation of refractory FLT3/ITD + Ba/F3 cells, 5 nM quizartinib significantly increased the proliferation of both Cxcr4-low and Cxcr4-high FLT3/ITD + Ba/F3 cells that acquired resistance to quizartinib compared to those without quizartinib. This increase in the proliferation of Cxcr4-low and Cxcr4-high FLT3/ITD + Ba/F3 cells coincided with the elevation in RUNX1 and CXCR4 protein expression. Moreover, the resistant Cxcr4-low FLT3/ITD + Ba/F3 cells proliferated significantly faster than Cxcr4-high FLT3/ITD + cells, with concomitant higher expression of RUNX1 in Cxcr4-low FLT3/ITD + cells than in Cxcr4-high FLT3/ITD + cells. Likewise, type-I FLT3 inhibitor gilteritinib significantly enhanced proliferation of Cxcr4-low and Cxcr4-high FLT3/ITD + Ba/F3 cells that acquired resistance to gilteritinib. Knocking down Runx1 using shRNAs significantly decreased the enhanced proliferation induced by quizartinib in refractory FLT3/ITD + Ba/F3 cells, coincident with reduction in CXCR4 expression. Since CXCR4 expression level was elevated by quizartinib in the FLT3/ITD + cells refractory to quizartinib, we next examined CXCL12-induced migration in quizartinib-resistant FLT3/ITD + cells following exposure to quzartinib. Pre-incubating the quizartinib resistant Cxcr4-low or Cxcr4-high FLT3/ITD + Ba/F3 cells with 5 nM quizartinib for 72 hours significantly enhanced their migration to 100 ng/ml of Cxcl12 compared to those without quizartinib, coincident with elevation in RUNX1 levels. Surprisingly, migration of CXCR4-low FLT3/ITD + cells to CXCL12 was significantly elevated compared to CXCR4-high cells, with concomitant higher expression of RUNX1 in Cxcr4-low FLT3/ITD + cells than in Cxcr4-high FLT3/ITD + cells. Silencing Runx1 using shRNAs significantly decreased migration to CXCL12 in refractory Cxcr4-low FLT3/ITD + Ba/F3 cells. These data indicate that the FLT3 inhibitor itself can facilitate the proliferation and migration to CXCL12 in FLT3/ITD + cells that are refractory to FLT3 inhibitors by up-regulating RUNX1. The results implicate that FLT3 inhibitors may worsen the disease progression in the patients that became refractory to FLT3 inhibitors by facilitating proliferation and migration to CXCL12 of the resistant FLT3/ITD + AML cells. In this regard, targeting RUNX1 may represent additional strategy to eradicate resistant FLT3/ITD + AML cells, in which their proliferation and migration are supported by FLT3 inhibitors.

Abstract Bisphenol A (BPA) is one of the most investigated compound as a suspected endocrine disrupting chemical. It has been found at nM concentrations in the maternal serum, cord serum, and amniotic fluid and also permeates placental tissues. Attempts are being made to replace BPA with the analog Bisphenol S (BPS). Also BPS was found in maternal and umbilical cord serum, and urine samples from a large population of pregnant women. A few studies investigated BPA impact on the placentation process, and even less are available for BPS. This work aimed to elucidate and compare the effects of BPA and BPS on physiological functions of HTR-8/SVneo cells, derived from extravillous trophoblast of first-trimester pregnancy. Proliferation and migration ability of trophoblast cells were assessed in vitro after exposure to BPA or BPS (10−13 - 10−3 M). Further, induction of the inflammatory response by the bisphenols was studied. To provide insight into the molecular pathways implicated in the responses, experiments were carried out in the presence or absence of tamoxifen as estrogen receptors (ERs) blocker, and U0126 as ERK1/2 phosphorylation inhibitor. Data indicate that BPA significantly affects both proliferation and migration of HTR-8/SVneo cells, through ER and ERK1/2 mediated processes. Differently, BPS only acts on proliferation, again through ER and ERK1/2 mediated processes. BPS, but not BPA, induces secretion of interleukins 6 and 8. Such effect is inhibited by blocking ERK1/2 phosphorylation. To the best of our knowledge, these are the first data showing that BPS affects trophoblast functions through ER/MAPK modulation.

Decidualization is essential for the successful establishment of pregnancy, and the dysregulated decidualization may lead to early pregnancy loss. It was previously reported by us that miR-3074-5p could promote apoptosis but inhibit invasion of human extravillous trophoblast (EVT) cells in vitro, and the expression level of miR-3074-5p in villus tissues of recurrent miscarriage (RM) patients was significantly increased. The aim of this study was to preliminarily explore the role of miR-3074-5p played in the decidualization of human endometrial stromal cells (ESCs). It was found that the decidual expression level of miR-3074-5p in RM patients was remarkably higher than that in the control group. The overexpression of miR-3074-5p in the immortalized human ESC line, T-HESCs, showed suppressive effects not only on the cell proliferation, as well as the intracellular expression levels of cyclin B1 (CCNB1), CCND1 and CCNE1 but also on the in vitro-induced decidualization. CLN8 mRNA, encoding an endoplasmic reticulum (ER)-associated membrane protein, was validated to be directly targeted by miR-3074-5p. And, the expression level of CLN8 was continuously increased along with the decidualization process, whereas down-regulated CLN8 expression could inhibit the decidualization of T-HESCs in vitro. Furthermore, contrary to the increased expression level of miR-3074-5p, a significantly decreased CLN8 expression was observed in decidual tissues of RM patients. Collectively, these data suggested that an increased miR-3074-5p expression in ESCs might cause early pregnancy failure by disturbing decidualization of ESCs via the miR-3074-5p/CLN8 pathway, providing a potential diagnostic and therapeutic target for RM.

Background: Breast cancer is among the most common malignant cancers worldwide, and breast adenocarcinoma in glandular tissue cells has excessive metastasis and invasion capability. However, little is known on the molecular process by which this disease develops and progresses. Objective: In this study, we explored the effects of sex-determining region Y-box 4 (SOX4) protein on proliferation, migration, apoptosis and tumourigenesis of breast adenocarcinoma and its possible mechanisms. Methods: The SOX4 overexpression or knockdown Michigan Cancer Foundation-7 (MCF-7) cell lines were established. Among the SOX4 overexpression or MCF-7 knockdown cell lines, proliferation, migration ability and apoptosis rate were detected. The expression levels of apoptosis-related proteins (Bax and Cleaved caspase-3) were analysed using Western blot. The effect of SOX4 on tumourigenesis was analysed using the clone formation assay in vitro and tumour xenograft experiment in nude mice. Results: Compared with the overexpression of control cells, proliferation and migration ability of SOX4 overexpression cells significantly increased, the apoptosis rate significantly decreased in addition to the expression levels of Bax and Cleaved caspase-3 (P < 0.05). Compared with the knockdown of control cells, proliferation and migration ability of SOX4 knockdown cells significantly decreased, and the apoptosis rate and expression levels of Bax and Cleaved caspase-3 significantly increased (P < 0.05). Clone formation and tumour growth abilities of SOX4 overexpression cells were significantly higher than those of the control cells (P < 0.05), whereas SOX4 knockdown cells had the opposite effect. Conclusion: SOX4 plays an oncogenic role in breast adenocarcinoma tumourigenesis by promoting cell proliferation, migration and inhibiting apoptosis. It can be used as a potential molecular target for breast cancer gene therapy.

AbstractPurposeS100A6 protein (calcyclin), a small calcium-binding protein of the S100 family, is often upregulated in various types of cancers, including hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). The aim of this study was to illustrate the molecular mechanism of S100A6 in regulating the proliferation and migration of HCC cells.MethodsThe expressions of S100A6 in human HCC and adjacent non-tumor liver specimens were detected using immunoblotting and quantitative PCR (qPCR). The recombinant glutathione S-transferase (GST)-tagged human S100A6 protein was purified and identified. After treatment with S100A6, the proliferation of HepG2 cells was detected by the MTT and colony formation assay, and the migration of HepG2 cells was investigated by the transwell migration assay; the protein levels of cyclin D1 (CCND1), E-cadherin, and vimentin were also tested by immunoblotting. The effect of S100A6 on p21 and nuclear factor-κB pathway was verified by performing the dual luciferase assay. Then, the expression of p21 and its transcription activator, p53, was examined using immunoblotting and qPCR, the ubiquitination of which was investigated through co-immunoprecipitation.ResultsIt was found that the level of S100A6 was higher in the HCC tissues than in the adjacent non-tumor liver specimens. Exogenous overexpression of S100A6 promoted the proliferation and migration of HepG2 cells. S100A6 was observed to regulate p21 mRNA and protein expression levels and decrease p53 protein expression level, not mRNA level, by promoting the ubiquitination of p53 via the proteasome-dependent degradation pathway.ConclusionOur study indicated that S100A6 overexpression could promote the proliferation and migration of HCC cells by enhancing p53 ubiquitin-dependent proteasome degradation, ultimately regulating the p21 expression level.

Abstract Background Long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) XIST has been implicated in the progression of a variety of tumor diseases. The purpose of this study was to explore the molecular role of lncRNA XIST in human hepatitis B virus (HBV)-related hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Methods The expression levels of lncRNA XIST, miR-192 and TRIM25 in HBV-related HCC tissues and HepG2.2.15 cells were detected by qRT-PCR. Biological information and luciferin gene reporter assay were performed to detect the interaction among lncRNA XIST, miR-192 and TRIM25. CCk-8 assay, wound healing assay and colony formation assay were conducted to detect the proliferation and migration ability of HepG2.2.15 cells. Results qRT-PCR results showed that the expression levels of lncRNA XIST were remarkably increased in HBV-related HCC tissues and HepG2.2.15 cells. In addition, miR-192 was a direct target gene of lncRNA XIST, and the expression of miR-192 and lncRNA XIST were negatively correlated. Moreover, overexpression of miR-192 observably inhibited the proliferation and migration of HCC cells, while overexpression of lncRNA XIST showed an opposite effect. Furthermore, TRIM25 was a direct target of miR-192, and lncRNA XIST could up-regulate the expression of TRIM25 by targeting miR-192. Conclusion LncRNA XIST could up-regulate the expression of TRIM25 by targeting and binding to miR-192, thus accelerating the occurrence and development of HCC.

Abstract Background To determine whether any differences of AIM2 inflammasome expression levels between rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and osteoarthritis (OA) and investigate the effects of AIM2 when transferred into RA fibroblast-like synoviocytes (RA-FLS).Methods Serum AIM2 levels between OA and RA patients were compared by ELISA. Different expression levels of AIM2, ASC, Caspase-1 and IL-1β between RA and OA synovium were semi-quantified by RT-qPCR and immunohistochemical (IHC) staining. IHC staining were recorded by H scores, and determine the correlation with ESR and CRP levels of RA patients. SiRNA AIM2 was transferred to RA-FLS and observe its effects on proliferation and migration by MTT assay and transwell test respectively.Results In RA sera, no significant difference was observed between OA and RA patients. However, in affected knee synovium, AIM2, ASC, Caspase-1 and IL-1β were expressed higher in RA than that of OA. Plus, H score of AIM2, ASC, and IL-1β were positively correlated to ESR and CRP levels in RA patients. After transferred AIM2 siRNA to FLS and incubation for 48 hours, the proliferation of FLS were significantly inhibited, and the apoptosis rate were significantly increased compared to FLS in control group. However, no effect on migration was detected.Conclusions AIM2 participated in the proliferation of FLS, and might be a potential target for therapy.

Introduction. Glioblastoma (GBM) is the most frequent and malignant type of primary brain tumors in adults. The valuable prognostic biomarkers and therapeutic targets for GBM remain to be elucidated. The association of adipokines with cancer has been well documented. The C1q/TNF-related protein 1 (CTRP1), a novel adipokine, belongs to the CTRP family.Methods. In the present study, the expression and potential roles of CTRP1 in GBM were explored based on in silico evaluation, including GEPIA, the Pathology Atlas of the Human Protein Atlas, cBioPortal, TIMER, and SurvExpress. The CCK8, transwell, and wound healing assays were used to detect cell proliferation and migration.Results. It was found that mRNA expression levels ofCTRP1were significantly upregulated in GBM tissues compared with those in nontumor tissues according to the analysis on public dataset and immunohistochemical results of GBM tissues (P<0.05). CTRP1 was mainly localized in the cytoplasm and cell membrane of GBM cells. The genetic alterations of CTRP1 occurred at a low rate in GBM (2 of 591 sequenced cases/patients, 0.33%). The mRNA expression levels ofCTRP1were positively associated with the tumor-infiltrating macrophages and CCL2 in GBM (P<0.05, respectively). The higher mRNA expression levels ofCTRP1were significantly correlated with higher risk and shorter overall survival time in GBM (P<0.05). CTRP1 knockdown significantly inhibited the proliferation and migration in human GBM cells, suggesting the inhibition of CTRP1 on human GMB progression. Moreover, CTRP1 knockdown inhibited CCL2 expression, and CCL2 overexpression reversed the inhibition of cell proliferation and migration induced by CTRP1 knockdown, suggesting that CTRP1 promoted tumor progression by regulating CCL2 expression.Conclusions. These findings suggest that CTRP1 potentially indicates poor prognosis in GBM and promotes the progression of human GBM.
