In clinic, propranolol is widely used for infantile hemangioma therapy. However, some of the infantile hemangioma patients display resistance to propranolol treatment. Previous studies show that miR-187-3p is inhibited in hepatocellular carcinoma and lung cancer, while the role of miR-187-3p in infantile hemangioma remains unclear. In the present study, we explore the biological role of miR-187-3p in infantile hemangioma. The mRNA and protein levels of related genes were detected by real-time PCR and Western blotting. CCK8 assay was used to detect cell viability and IC50 values of propranolol. Cell apoptosis was detected by Caspase-3 Activity assay. Luciferase reporter assay and biotin RNA pull down assay were used to detect the interaction between miR-187-3p and the targeted gene. MiR-187-3p was down-regulated in infantile hemangioma tissues and promoted propranolol sensitivity of HemSCs. Mechanically, NIPBL was the direct target of miR-187-3p in HemSCs. NIPBL downregulation inhibited propranolol resistance of HemSCs. Re-introduction of NIPBL reversed miR-187-3p-meidated higher propranolol sensitivity of HemSCs. MiR-187-3p enhanced propranolol sensitivity of hemangioma stem cells via targeting NIPBL.

However, the functions of LINC00202 in RB remain unclear. We employed qRT-PCR and immunoblot to detect the expression levels of mRNAs and proteins, respectively.

LINC00202 expression in RB tissues is higher than that in the paired adjacent normal tissues, which has correlation with poor prognosis in RB.

Segmentation methods for mononuclear and round shape cells have been developed extensively. However, a segmentation method for elongated polynuclear cells, such as differentiated C2C12 myotubes, has yet to be developed. In addition, myotubes are surrounded by undifferentiated reserve cells, making it difficult to identify background regions and subsequent quantification. Here we developed an automatic quantitative segmentation method for myotubes using watershed segmentation of summed binary images and a two-component Gaussian mixture model. We used time-lapse fluorescence images of differentiated C2C12 cells stably expressing Eevee-S6K, a fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET) biosensor of S6 kinase (S6K). Summation of binary images enhanced the contrast between myotubes and reserve cells, permitting detection of a myotube and a myotube center. Using a myotube center instead of a nucleus, individual myotubes could be detected automatically by watershed segmentation. In addition, a background correction using the two-component Gaussian mixture model permitted automatic signal intensity quantification in individual myotubes. Thus, we provide an automatic quantitative segmentation method by combining automatic myotube detection and background correction. Furthermore, this method allowed us to quantify S6K activity in individual myotubes, demonstrating that some of the temporal properties of S6K activity such as peak time and half-life of adaptation show different dose-dependent changes of insulin between cell population and individuals.Key words: time lapse images, cell segmentation, fluorescence resonance energy transfer, C2C12, myotube.</p>","PeriodicalId":9927,"journal":{"name":"Cell structure and function","volume":"43 2","pages":"153-169"},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2018-08-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1247/csf.18012","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"36342690","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
