Middle Ear Cholesteatoma

Cholesteatoma is a benign keratinizing and hyper proliferative squamous epithelial lesion of the temporal bone. Epidermal growth factor (EGF) is one of the most important cytokines which has been shown to play a critical role in cholesteatoma. In this investigation, we studied the effects of EGF on the proliferation of keratinocytes and EGF-mediated signaling pathways underlying the pathogenesis of cholesteatoma. We examined the expressions of phosphorylated EGF receptor (p-EGFR), phosphorylated Akt (p-Akt), cyclinD1, and proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA) in 40 cholesteatoma samples and 20 samples of normal external auditory canal (EAC) epithelium by immunohistochemical method. Furthermore,in vitrostudies were performed to investigate EGF-induced downstream signaling pathways in primary external auditory canal keratinocytes (EACKs). The expressions of p-EGFR, p-Akt, cyclinD1, and PCNA in cholesteatoma epithelium were significantly increased when compared with those of control subjects. We also demonstrated that EGF led to the activation of the EGFR/PI3K/Akt/cyclinD1 signaling pathway, which played a critical role in EGF-induced cell proliferation and cell cycle progression of EACKs. Both EGFR inhibitor AG1478 and PI3K inhibitor wortmannin inhibited the EGF-induced EGFR/PI3K/Akt/cyclinD1 signaling pathway concomitantly with inhibition of cell proliferation and cell cycle progression of EACKs. Taken together, our data suggest that the EGFR/PI3K/Akt/cyclinD1 signaling pathway is active in cholesteatoma and may play a crucial role in cholesteatoma epithelial hyper-proliferation. This study will facilitate the development of potential therapeutic targets for intratympanic drug therapy for cholesteatoma.

Glioma Growth

Background: Gliomas result in the highest morbidity and mortality rates of intracranial primary central nervous system tumors because of their aggressive growth characteristics and high postoperative recurrence. They are characterized by genetic instability, intratumoral histopathological variability and unpredictable clinical behavior in patients. Proliferation is a key aspect of the clinical progression of malignant gliomas, complicating complete surgical resection and enabling tumor regrowth and further proliferation of the surviving tumor cells. Methods: The expression of Fstl1 was detected by western blotting and qRT-PCR. We used cell proliferation and colony formation assays to measure proliferation. Then, flow cytometry was used to analyze cell cycle progression. The expression of Fstl1, p-Smad1/5/8 and p21 in GBM tissue sections was evaluated using immunohistochemical staining. Furthermore, we used coimmunoprecipitation (Co-IP) and immunoprecipitation to validate the relationship between Fstl1, BMP4 and BMPR2. Finally, we used orthotopic xenograft studies to measure the growth of tumors in vivo. Results: We found that follistatin-like 1 (Fstl1) was upregulated in high-grade glioma specimens and that its levels correlated with poor prognosis. Fstl1 upregulation increased cell proliferation, colony formation and cell cycle progression, while its knockdown inhibited these processes. Moreover, Fstl1 interacted with bone morphogenetic protein (BMP) 4, but not BMP receptor (BMPR) 2, and competitively inhibited their association. Furthermore, Fstl1 overexpression suppressed the activation of the BMP4/Smad1/5/8 signaling pathway, while BMP4 overexpression reversed this effect. Conclusion: Our study demonstrated that Fstl1 promoted glioma growth through the BMP4/Smad1/5/8 signaling pathway, and these findings suggest potential new glioblastoma treatment strategies.

Background and purpose: As a type of non-coding genetic material widely existing in eukaryotes, a growing amount of research have confirmed that it have close connection with the occurrence and progression of various malignancies. MicroRNA126 is increased in non-small-cell lung cancer, liver cancer and gastric carcinoma. The up-regulation of miR126 in cervical cancer is closely associated with the clinical staging, histological grade, depth of invasion and early metastasis of the tumor, and it is also of great value in predicting the survival prognosis of the tumor. However, there is little known about the relationship between miR126 and pancreatic carcinoma. Therefore, this study explored the miR126-mediated STAT3 signaling pathway in medicating pancreatic cancer cell multiplication, migration, cell cycle and apoptosis in vitro . Methods: PANC-1 cell (human pancreatic cancer cell line) was selected for routine resuscitation and subculture. The experiment is grouped as: blank control group (NC group), empty plasmid transfection group (miR126-NC group), miR126mimic transfection group (overexpression Group) and miR126 inhibition plasmid transfection group (low expression group); cell viability of each group for 12 h, 24 h, 48 h and 72 h was detected using MTT assay. Wound healing assay was used to evaluated the ability of cell migration. Flow cytometry was performed to analyze cell cycle. The mRNA expression of Caspase-3 was determined by reverse transcription PCR (RT-PCR). STAT3 protein was evaluated by western blot. Results: miR126 overexpression significantly increased cell proliferation at 12 h, 24 h, 48 h, and 72 h, while the cell proliferation rates of the low expression group at each time point were significantly reduced in comparision with those of the NC group and the miR126-NC group (P < 0 05). miR126 overexpression significantly induced cell migration, while miR126 low-expression significantly inhibited cell migration (P < 0 05). miR126 overexpression significantly enhanced the percentage of G2/M, while the percentage of G2/M in the low-expressed group was remarkably reduced in comparision with those of the NC group and the miR126-NC group (P < 0 05). The mRNA expression of Caspase-3 was significantly inhibited in miR126 overexpression group, while the expression of Caspase-3 mRNA in the cells with miR126 low expression was remarkably increased (P < 0 05). The protein expression of STAT3 in miR126 overexpression group was notably up-regulated, while the expression level of STAT3 protein in the low expression group was prominently down-regulated (P <0 05). Conclusion: MiR126 overexpression may induces the STAT3 signaling pathway and then regulates cell proliferation, cell migration, cell cycle arrest and cell apoptosis in pancreatic carcinoma.
