ACS APPLIED MATERIALS & INTERFACES 2024; 16:31922-31935. [PMID: 38874539 PMCID: PMC11212020 DOI: 10.1021/acsami.4c02575] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/14/2024] [Revised: 05/22/2024] [Accepted: 05/23/2024] [Indexed: 06/15/2024]
Abstract
Poly-l-lysine (PLL) and Matrigel, both classical coating materials for culture substrates in neural stem cell (NSC) research, present distinct interfaces whose effect on NSC behavior at cellular and molecular levels remains ambiguous. Our investigation reveals intriguing disparities: although both PLL and Matrigel interfaces are hydrophilic and feature amine functional groups, Matrigel stands out with lower stiffness and higher roughness. Based on this diversity, Matrigel surpasses PLL, driving NSC adhesion, migration, and proliferation. Intriguingly, PLL promotes NSC differentiation into astrocytes, whereas Matrigel favors neural differentiation and the physiological maturation of neurons. At the molecular level, Matrigel showcases a wider upregulation of genes linked to NSC behavior. Specifically, it enhances ECM-receptor interaction, activates the YAP transcription factor, and heightens glycerophospholipid metabolism, steering NSC proliferation and neural differentiation. Conversely, PLL upregulates genes associated with glial cell differentiation and amino acid metabolism and elevates various amino acid levels, potentially linked to its support for astrocyte differentiation. These distinct transcriptional and metabolic activities jointly shape the divergent NSC behavior on these substrates. This study significantly advances our understanding of substrate regulation on NSC behavior, offering novel insights into optimizing and targeting the application of these surface coating materials in NSC research.

Sedum middendorffianum Maxim Induces Apoptosis and Inhibits the Invasion of Human Ovarian Cancer Cells via Oxidative Stress Regulation. Antioxidants (Basel) 2023; 12:1386. [PMID: 37507925 PMCID: PMC10376315 DOI: 10.3390/antiox12071386] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/07/2023] [Revised: 06/30/2023] [Accepted: 07/03/2023] [Indexed: 07/30/2023] Open
Abstract
Sedum middendorffianum Maxim (SMM) is a Korean endemic plant belonging to the Crassulaceae family. This study aimed to investigate the antitumor effects of the SMM extract on human ovarian cancer cells. Among five endemic plants grown in Korea, the SMM extract showed the most potent cytotoxicity in ovarian cancer cells and had little effect on normal ovarian surface epithelial cells. Furthermore, we revealed that the SMM extract dose-dependently induced apoptosis in human ovarian cancer A2780 and SKOV3 cells. The SMM extract markedly stimulated the activation of caspase-3/8, while the broad-spectrum caspase inhibitor and caspase-8 selective inhibitor significantly reversed SMM extract-induced apoptosis. In addition, the SMM extract significantly inhibited cell invasion and the expression levels of matrix metalloproteinase (MMP)-2 and MMP-9 in ovarian cancer cells. Notably, the SMM extract increased the generation of intracellular ROS, and pretreatment with antioxidant N-acetyl-L-cysteine (NAC) significantly suppressed SMM-induced cytotoxicity and anti-invasive activity. Moreover, NAC treatment reversed the SMM-induced inhibition of MMP-2/9 expression. Taken together, these data suggest that the SMM extract induces caspase-dependent apoptotic cell death and inhibits MMP-dependent invasion via ROS regulation.

J Steroid Biochem Mol Biol 2023; 230:106274. [PMID: 36813140 DOI: 10.1016/j.jsbmb.2023.106274] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/30/2022] [Revised: 02/18/2023] [Accepted: 02/19/2023] [Indexed: 02/23/2023]
Abstract
Inflammation of the reproductive tract in dairy cows lead to functional disorders of follicular granulosa cells (GCs) in mammalian ovaries resulting in infertility and serious losses to the livestock industry. Lipopolysaccharide (LPS) can induce an inflammatory response in follicular granulosa cells in vitro. The aim of this study was to investigate the cellular regulatory mechanism of MNQ (2-methoxy-1,4-naphthoquinone) on eliminating the inflammatory response and restoring normal functions for bovine ovarian follicular GCs cultured in vitro exposed to LPS. The cytotoxicity of MNQ and LPS on GCs were detected by MTT method to determine the safe concentration. The relative expression of inflammatory factors and steroid synthesis-related genes were detected by qRT-PCR. The concentration of steroid hormones in the culture broth were detected by ELISA. Differential gene expressions were analyzed by RNA-seq. There were no toxic effects on GCs at MNQ and LPS concentrations of less than 3 µM and 10 µg/mL, respectively and treated in 12 h. The relative expressions of IL-6, IL-1β and TNF-α were significantly higher in the LPS group compared with the CK group when GCs cultured in vitro were treated with the above concentrations and times (P < 0.05), but significantly lower in the MNQ+LPS group compared with the LPS group (P < 0.05). The levels of E2 and P4 in the culture solution were significantly reduced in the LPS group compared to the CK group (P < 0.05), and restored in the MNQ+LPS group. The relative expressions of CYP19A1, CYP11A1, 3β-HSD, and STAR were significantly decreased in the LPS group compared with the CK group (P < 0.05), while the MNQ+LPS group also recovered to some extent. There were 407 differential genes shared by LPS vs CK and MNQ+LPS vs LPS by RNA-seq analysis, which were mainly enriched in steroid biosynthesis and TNF signaling pathway. We screened 10 genes for analysis and found consistent results for RNA-seq and qRT-PCR. In this study, we confirmed the protective effect of MNQ, an extract from Impatiens balsamina L, on LPS-induced inflammatory responses in bovine follicular granulosa cells in vitro as well as functional damage, and acted through steroid biosynthesis and TNF signaling pathways.
