AbstractCompounds containing heavy metals such as vanadium, nickel, and cobalt may be useful for the treatment of various diseases. Multiple studies have been carried out on the anticancer effects of vanadium-contained compounds on different cell types. This study aimed to evaluate the role of schiff base oxovanadium complex ([N,N'-bis(3-methoxy-salicylidene)-1,2-phenylenediamine]Vanadium(IV) Oxide Complex) on cell cycle arrest and different cell cycle phases in MKN45 cell of gastric cancer. Schiff base oxovanadium complex was used to assessthe amount of cytotoxicity via cell viability test. PI color and flow cytometry technique were applied to evaluate the effects of vanadium synthetic compounds on cell cycle phases; subsequently, we analyzed the change rates of gene expression in P53, GADD45, and CDC25 genes, which are involved in cell division phases. The findings indicated that the vital activities of time-dependent and concentration-dependent MKN45 cells with schiff base oxovanadium complex were significantly reduced; therefore, this complex is able to inhibit the migration of cancer cells and metastatic activities in a time-dependent mode. Cell cycle arrest was obtained after 48 h of treatment in phase G2/M at 1 microgram/milliliter (μg/ml) concentration. This is probably attributed to the increased gene expression of P53 and GADD45 genes and reduced gene expression of CDC25 gene. Compounds containing such heavy metals as vanadium decrease the growth, proliferation, and migration of MKN45 cells. They arrest cell cycle in phase G2/M via changing the controllers of cell division phases activated due to DNA damage.

Abstract This study aimed to investigate the role of miRNA-1225-5p (miR-1225) in laryngeal carcinoma (LC). We found that the expression of miR-1225 was suppressed in human LC samples, while CDC14B (cell division cycle 14B) expression was reinforced in comparison with surrounding normal tissues. We also demonstrated that enhanced expression of miR-1225 impaired the proliferation and survival of LC cells, and resulted in G1/S cell cycle arrest. In contrast, reduced expression of miR-1225 promoted cell survival. Moreover, miR-1225 resulted in G1/S cell cycle arrest and enhanced cell death. Further, miR-1225 targets CDC14B 3′-UTR and recovery of CDC14B expression counteracted the suppressive influence of miR-1225 on LC cells. Thus, these findings offer insight into the biological and molecular mechanisms behind the development of LC.

Abstract Abstract 4282 Objective: To evaluate the antileukemic effect of wogonoside and reveal the underlying mechanism. Method: In this study trypan blue dye exclusion assay, MTT assay, and soft agar colony formation assay were used to analysis growth inhibition of wogonoside the on AML (acute human promyelocytic) cell lines. Propidium iodide (PI)-staining and cell cycle-regulatory proteins detecting by western blots were applied to exam whether wogonoside could induce cell cycle arrest. Then a series of experiment were used to assess the ability of wogonoside to overcome the AML associated differentiation block, by using Giemsa staining, Nitroblue tetrazolium (NBT) reduction assay, and cell-surface differentiation antigens expression analysis. Real time PCR, western blots, cycloheximide inhibition test and RNA interference, nuclear and cytoplasmic fractionation, immunofluorescent staining were used to investigate the underlying mechanism. In this point we mainly focus that wogonoside exerts antileukemic by modulating of PLSCR1 gene expression, as well as influence its subcellular localization to play a role in regulating gene transcription. Result: It was demonstrated that wogonoside have the capacity to decrease the growth of myeloid cell lines by induction of G0/1 phase cell cycle arrest and differentiation. This effect is mediated by the increasing in mRNA and up-regulating protein expression of phospholipids scramblase 1 (PLSCR1). Meanwhile wogonoside promoted PLSCR1 traffic into the nucleus, which let PLSCR1 to play a role in regulating cell cycle and differentiation-related genes transcription including p21, p27, c-myc and IP3R1. Conclusion: Wogonoside induced AML cell lines to undergo differentiation and G1 phase arrest by restricting phospholipid scramblase 1 gene expression and promoting its translocation into nuclear. Disclosures: No relevant conflicts of interest to declare.

284 Background: Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is the 2nd leading global cause of cancer death. Recently, we have discovered previously undescribed deletion and germline mutation of GATA4 and showed that GATA4 is a key differentiation driver and metabolic regulator in HCC. However, as GATA4 is mostly deleted in HCC, targeting GATA4-downstream molecules is ideal. In this study, proof-of-concept experiments were conducted to show that introduction of HNF4A, which is a GATA4-regulated downstream target, could partially rescue the impaired phenotypes in GATA4-deficient HCC cell line. Methods: Correlation analysis using gene expression microarray of human HCC samples was conducted to identify the genes that are positively correlated with GATA4. A transgenic mouse model with a liver-specific conditional GATA4 knockout was designed to identify liver morphology and gene expression changes which are correlated with the loss of Gata4 in the mouse liver. CRISPR-mediated knockout of GATA4 and lentiviral HNF4A overexpression was carried out in a GATA4-deficient HCC cell lines, PLC/PRF/5 and Hep3B, followed by proliferation, apoptosis, cell cycle and senescence functional assays. Results: Pearson correlation analysis from human HCC samples showed that expression of HNF4A is positively correlated with that of GATA4. Livers from conditional Gata4 knockout mice had lower Hnf4a gene expression when compared to age-matched control mice. Loss of function analysis by CRISPR-mediated GATA4 knockout further showed downregulation of HNF4A in GATA4-deficient PLC/PRF/5 cell line. Lentiviral HNF4A overexpression in PLC/PRF/5 and Hep3B demonstrated reduced proliferation and increased apoptosis while PLC/PRF/5 also showed cell cycle arrest at G2/M phase when compared to control. However, no senescence induction was detected in HNF4A-overexpressing cells. Conclusions: Transgenic mouse data, CRISPR-mediated knockout and analysis of HCC samples showed that HNF4A is a key GATA4-downstream target. HNF4A overexpression decreases proliferation, increases apoptosis and cell cycle arrest in GATA4-deficient HCC cell lines, thus representing a possible therapeutic target for HCC.

ABSTRACT The human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) Vpr protein has important functions in advancing HIV pathogenesis via several effects on the host cell. Vpr mediates nuclear import of the preintegration complex, induces host cell apoptosis, and inhibits cell cycle progression at G2, which increases HIV gene expression. Some of Vpr's activities have been well described, but some functions, such as cell cycle arrest, are not yet completely characterized, although components of the ATR DNA damage repair pathway and the Cdc25C and Cdc2 cell cycle control mechanisms clearly play important roles. We investigated the mechanisms underlying Vpr-mediated cell cycle arrest by examining global cellular gene expression profiles in cell lines that inducibly express wild-type and mutant Vpr proteins. We found that Vpr expression is associated with the down-regulation of genes in the MEK2-ERK pathway and with decreased phosphorylation of the MEK2 effector protein ERK. Exogenous provision of excess MEK2 reverses the cell cycle arrest associated with Vpr, confirming the involvement of the MEK2-ERK pathway in Vpr-mediated cell cycle arrest. Vpr therefore appears to arrest the cell cycle at G2/M through two different mechanisms, the ATR mechanism and a newly described MEK2 mechanism. This redundancy suggests that Vpr-mediated cell cycle arrest is important for HIV replication and pathogenesis. Our findings additionally reinforce the idea that HIV can optimize the host cell environment for viral replication.

A375 Cells

The present work was designed to investigate the effect of palladium nanoparticles (PdNPs) on human skin malignant melanoma (A375) cells, for example, induction of apoptosis, cytotoxicity, and DNA damage. Diseases resulting from dermal exposure may have a significant impact on human health. There is a little study that has been reported on the toxic potential of PdNPs on A375. Cytotoxic potential of PdNPs (0, 5, 10, 20, and 40 μg/ml) was measured by tetrazolium bromide (MTT assay) and NRU assay in A375 cells. PdNPs elicited concentration and time-dependent cytotoxicity, and longer exposure period induced more cytotoxicity as measured by MTT and NRU assay. The molecular mechanisms of cytotoxicity through cell cycle arrest and apoptosis were investigated by AO (acridine orange)/EtBr (ethidium bromide) stain and flow cytometry. PdNPs not only inhibit proliferation of A375 cells in a dose- and time-dependent model but also induce apoptosis and cell cycle arrest at G2/M phase (before 12 h) and S phase (after 24 h). The induction of oxidative stress in A375 cells treated with above concentration PdNPs for 24 and 48 h increased ROS level; on the other hand, glutathione level was declined. Apoptosis and DNA damage was significantly increased after treatment of PdNPs. Considering all results, PdNPs showed cytotoxicity and genotoxic effect in A375 cells.
