Therefore, the inhibition of MMP-7 would be beneficial for the suppression or prevention of CRC cell invasion and metastasis. The stem bark of Acanthopanax senticosus, a widely used medicinal herb, contains isofraxidin (IF) and chlorogenic acid (CGA) as major components. Previously we reported that IF suppressed the expression of MMP-7 and cell invasion in human hepatoma cells. In this study, we investigated the effects of CGA on cell invasion, MMP-7 mRNA expression and the phosphorylation of extracellular signal-regulated kinase 1/2 (ERK1/2) and compared it with those of IF in human CRC cells (HT-29). We found that CGA significantly suppressed 12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol-13-acetate (TPA)-induced cell invasion, MMP-7 expression and the expression of activated form of MMP-7 to almost the same extent as IF. Meanwhile, we also found that TPA-induced expression of MMP-7 mRNA and ERK1/2 phosphorylation were significantly suppressed when cells were exposed to the ERK1/2 inhibitor U0126 and that CGA was a little more potent than IF at inhibiting TPA-induced ERK1/2 phosphorylation. Taken together, the present results indicate that CGA suppresses cell invasion, MMP-7 expression and ERK1/2 phosphorylation to almost the same extent as IF and suggest that not only IF but also CGA suppresses cell invasion by inhibiting MMP-7 expression via the inhibition of at least ERK1/2 phosphorylation and Acanthopanax senticosus, which contains two components with anti-MMP-7 activity, may be a beneficial herb with anti-invasive effects against human CRC cells.</p>","PeriodicalId":13340,"journal":{"name":"In Vitro Cellular & Developmental Biology.

Firstly, we overexpressed and knocked down OPA3 to examine its effect on CRC cell (HT29 cell) growth. CRC cell viability, migration, invasion, and levels of proliferation markers and cell cycle-associated proteins were measured. Then, we treated cells with carbonyl cyanide m-chlorophenyl hydrazone (CCCP) to explore mitochondrial dysfunction and mtDNA stress in HT29 cells. Next, we overexpressed cGAS and STING to examine their correlation with OPA3. The results showed that OPA3 overexpression enhanced CRC cell viability, migration, invasion, and the levels of PCNA, Cyclin A2, and Cyclin B1. Knockdown of OPA3 had the opposite effects. Moreover, OPA3 knockdown facilitated mitochondrial dysfunction and mtDNA stress in CRC cells. OPA3 overexpression also inhibited CCCP-induced mitochondrial stress disorder. Additionally, OPA3 knockdown elevated the protein levels of p-STING and cGAS and the mRNA level of STING target genes. Furthermore, overexpression of either cGAS or STING partially alleviated the enhancement of HT29 cell proliferation, migration, and invasion mediated by OPA3 overexpression. In conclusion, OPA3 promotes CRC progression via inhibiting the cGAS-STING pathway, which is mediated by mtDNA stress.

The G874A mutation of T-box transcription factor 22 (TBX-22) gene is notably associated with CL/P, while the underlying mechanism remains to be clarified. Studies have shown that the restriction of epithelial-mesenchymal transformation (EMT) process in medial edge epithelial cells (MEEs) is crucial for CL/P development. In our current research, primary MEEs, isolated and cultured from mouse embryos, were genetically introduced the TBX-22 G874A mutation and subsequently treated with TGF-β1. They were then utilized to test the hypothesis that the G874A mutation in TBX22 plays a role in the regulation of the EMT in MEEs. Our findings reveal that TBX22 reduces miR140-5p transcription by binding to its promoter, while miR140-5p downregulates TGFBR1 protein expression by targeting its mRNA 3'-UTR. In other words, TBX22 could indirectly positively regulates TGFBR1 expression post-transcriptionally. Functional cellular assays showed that the G874A mutation of TBX-22 counteracted TGF-β1-induced decrease in proliferation and migration. Western blotting results showed that the G874A mutation of TBX-22 inhibited EMT protein expression (α-SMA and Vimentin) and promoted E-cadherin in TGF-β1-induced MEEs. To summarize, our research reveals that the G874A mutation of TBX22 impedes the progression of EMT in MEEs through the upregulation of miR140-5p and the downregulation of TGFBR1.

However, the exact mechanism remains unclear. This study aimed to clarify the potential molecular mechanisms through which IL-27 enhances macrophage resistance to Mtb infection. Both normal and PTB patients provided bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF). Peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) were isolated from healthy individuals and stimulated with 50 ng/mL macrophage-colony stimulating factor (M-CSF) to obtain monocyte-derived macrophages (MDMs). Using 100 ng/mL phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate (PMA), THP-1 cells were induced to differentiate into THP-1-derived macrophage-like cells (TDMs). Both MDMs and TDMs were subsequently infected with the Mtb strain H37Rv and treated with 50 ng/mL IL-27 prior to infection. The damage and inflammation of macrophages were examined using flow cytometry, enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), and Western blotting. Patients with PTB had elevated levels of IL-27 in their BALF. Preconditioning with IL-27 was shown to reduce H37Rv-induced MDMs and TDMs apoptosis while also decreasing the levels of Cleaved Caspase-3, Bax and the proinflammatory cytokines TNF-α, IL-1β, and IL-6, promoting the expression of Bcl-2 and the anti-inflammatory factors IL-10 and IL-4. Silencing of the IL-27 receptor IL-27Ra increased macrophage damage and inflammation triggered by H37Rv.
