Abstract
Solid tumors as well as leukemias and lymphomas show striking changes in nuclear structure including nuclear size and shape, the number and size of nucleoli, and chromatin texture. These alterations have been used in cancer diagnosis and might be related to the altered functional properties of cancer cells. The nuclear matrix (NM) represents the structural composition of the nucleus and consists of nuclear lamins and pore complexes, an internal ribonucleic protein network, and residual nucleoli. In the nuclear microenvironment, the NM is associated with multi-protein complexes, such as basal transcription factors, signaling proteins, histone-modifying factors, and chromatin remodeling machinery directly or indirectly through scaffolding proteins. Therefore, alterations in the composition of NM could result in altered DNA topology and changes in the interaction of various genes, which could then participate in a cascade of the cancer process. Using an androgen-sensitive prostate cancer cell line, LNCaP, and its androgen-independent derivative, LN96, conventional 2D-proteomic analysis of the NM proteins revealed that purine-rich element binding protein alpha (PURα) was detected in the NM proteins and differentially expressed between the cell lines. In this article, we will review the potential role of the molecule in prostate cancer.

PGC-1α promotes colorectal carcinoma metastasis through regulating ABCA1 transcription. Oncogene 2023; 42:2456-2470.

Abstract
Colorectal cancer (CRC) is a highly aggressive cancer in which metastasis plays a key role. However, the mechanisms underlying metastasis have not been fully elucidated. Peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma coactivator 1α (PGC-1α), a regulator of mitochondrial function, has been reported as a complicated factor in cancer. In this study, we found that PGC-1α was highly expressed in CRC tissues and was positively correlated with lymph node and liver metastasis. Subsequently, PGC-1α knockdown was shown to inhibit CRC growth and metastasis in both in vitro and in vivo studies. Transcriptomic analysis revealed that PGC-1α regulated ATP-binding cassette transporter 1 (ABCA1) mediated cholesterol efflux. Mechanistically, PGC-1α interacted with YY1 to promote ABCA1 transcription, resulting in cholesterol efflux, which subsequently promoted CRC metastasis through epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EMT). In addition, the study identified the natural compound isoliquiritigenin (ISL) as an inhibitor that targeted ABCA1 and significantly reduced CRC metastasis induced by PGC-1α. Overall, this study sheds light on how PGC-1α promotes CRC metastasis by regulating ABCA1-mediated cholesterol efflux, providing a basis for further research to inhibit CRC metastasis.

PGC-1α Regulates Cell Proliferation, Migration, and Invasion by Modulating Leucyl-tRNA Synthetase 1 Expression in Human Colorectal Cancer Cells. Cancers (Basel) 2022; 15:cancers15010159. [PMID: 36612155 PMCID: PMC9818264 DOI: 10.3390/cancers15010159] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/07/2022] [Revised: 12/23/2022] [Accepted: 12/23/2022] [Indexed: 12/29/2022] Open
Abstract
Although mounting evidence has demonstrated that peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor γ coactivator 1α (PGC-1α) can promote tumorigenesis, its role in cancer remains controversial. To find potential target molecules of PGC-1α, GeneFishingTM DEG (differentially expressed genes) screening was performed using stable HEK293 cell lines expressing PGC-1α (PGC-1α-HEK293). As results, leucyl-tRNA synthetase 1 (LARS1) was upregulated. Western blot analysis showed that LARS1 was increased in PGC-1α overexpressed SW480 cells but decreased in PGC-1α shRNA knockdown SW620 cells. Several studies have suggested that LARS1 can be a potential target of anticancer agents. However, the molecular network of PGC-1α and LARS1 in human colorectal cancer cells remains unclear. LARS1 overexpression enhanced cell proliferation, migration, and invasion, whereas LARS1 knockdown reduced them. We also observed that expression levels of cyclin D1, c-Myc, and vimentin were regulated by LARS1 expression. We aimed to investigate whether effects of PGC-1α on cell proliferation and invasion were mediated by LARS1. Our results showed that PGC-1α might modulate cell proliferation and invasion by regulating LARS1 expression. These results suggest that LARS1 inhibitors might be used as anticancer agents in PGC-1α-overexpressing colorectal cancer. Further studies are needed in the future to clarify the detailed molecular mechanism by which PGC-1α regulates LARS1 expression.

Abstract
Background: Radiation-induced pulmonary fibrosis (RIPF) is a serious complication in patients treated with transthoracic irradiation. To date, there are no effective drugs for RIPF treatment. In this study, we attempted to explore the function of miR-761 in RIPF, further investigate its potential mechanism and evaluate its effectiveness in the treatment of RIPF. Methods: qRT-PCR analysis was used to detect miR-761 and peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma (PPARg) coactivator-1 (PGC-1α) expression. Western Blot (WB) assay was applied to verify the regulation of PGC-1α by miR-761 and the expression of fibrosis-related proteins. Gel contraction assay was performed to demonstrate the level of fibroblast activation in vitro. A mouse RIPF model was used to validate the anti-fibrotic effect of Antagomir761. Bioinformatics analysis and dual-luciferase reporter assays were utilized to confirm the regulation relationship between miR-761 and PGC-1α. Results: The results showed that miR-761 was significantly elevated in irradiated mice lungs and fibroblasts. Overexpression of miR-761 in vitro promoted fibroblast activation. Whereas inhibition of miR-761 attenuated the degree of RIPF and inhibited fibroblast activation. Mechanistically, PGC-1α was a direct and functional target of miR-761, overexpression of PGC-1α inhibited irradiation-induced fibroblast activation, and knockdown of PGC-1α caused miR-761 inhibitor loses its anti-activation ability in irradiated cells. Conclusion: Our findings demonstrated that miR-761 regulated RIPF by targeting PGC-1α. Inhibition of miR-761 restored PGC-1α expression and attenuated RIPF damage, and miR-761 was a potential target for preventing the development of RIPF.

The Function and Prognostic Value of RNA-Binding Proteins in Colorectal Adenocarcinoma Were Analyzed Based on Bioinformatics of Smart Medical Big Data. JOURNAL OF HEALTHCARE ENGINEERING 2021; 2021:5536330.

Abstract
Colon cancer is the third most frequent cancer in the world and is mainly adenocarcinoma in terms of pathological type. It has been confirmed that the dysregulation of RNA-binding proteins (RBPs) significantly participates in the occurrence and development of numerous malignant tumors. Therefore, we analyzed the RBPs associated with colon adenocarcinoma (COAD) to assess their possible biological effects and prognostic value. A total of 398 COAD tissue datasets and 39 normal tissue datasets were retrieved from the TCGA data resource and screened out the RBPs, which are differentially expressed between tumor tissues and nontumor tissues. Then, bioinformatics analyses based on smart medical big data were conducted on these RBPs. Overall, 181 differentially expressed RBPs were uncovered, consisting of 121 upregulated RBPs and 60 downregulated RBPs. Finally, we selected 7 prognostic-related RBPs with research prospects and constructed a prognostic model according to the median risk score. There were remarkable differences in OS between the high-risk and low-risk groups. In addition, the performance of the prognostic model was evaluated and verified with other COAD patient data in the TCGA database. The results showed that the area under the ROC curve (AUC) for the train group was 0.744 and the one for the test group was 0.661, confirming that the model assesses patients' prognosis to some extent. And based on 7 hub RBPs, we constructed a nomogram as a reference for evaluating the survival rate of COAD patients.

Abstract
Background Although RNA-binding proteins play an essential role in a variety of different tumours, there are still limited efforts made to systematically analyse the role of RNA-binding proteins (RBPs) in the survival of colorectal cancer (CRC) patients. Methods Analysis of CRC transcriptome data collected from the TCGA database was conducted, and RBPs were extracted from CRC. R software was applied to analyse the differentially expressed genes (DEGs) of RBPs. To identify related pathways and perform functional annotation of RBP DEGs, Gene Ontology (GO) function and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) pathway enrichment analyses were carried out using the database for annotation, visualization and integrated discovery. Protein-protein interactions (PPIs) of these DEGs were analysed based on the Search Tool for the Retrieval of Interacting Genes (STRING) database and visualized by Cytoscape software. Based on the Cox regression analysis of the prognostic value of RBPs (from the PPI network) with survival time, the RBPs related to survival were identified, and a prognostic model was constructed. To verify the model, the data stored in the TCGA database were designated as the training set, while the chip data obtained from the GEO database were treated as the test set. Then, both survival analysis and ROC curve verification were conducted. Finally, the risk curves and nomograms of the two groups were generated to predict the survival period. Results Among RBP DEGs, 314 genes were upregulated while 155 were downregulated, of which twelve RBPs (NOP14, MRPS23, MAK16, TDRD6, POP1, TDRD5, TDRD7, PPARGC1A, LIN28B, CELF4, LRRFIP2, MSI2) with prognostic value were obtained. Conclusions The twelve identified genes may be promising predictors of CRC and play an essential role in the pathogenesis of CRC. However, further investigation of the underlying mechanism is needed.

Abstract
Drug resistance greatly limits the therapeutic efficacy of treatment of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). One of the important factors is the dysfunction of tumor suppressor p53. Recent studies have suggested that p53 suppresses tumors by regulating number of mitochondrial proteins, including peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor coactivator (PGC1α). Although several studies have confirmed the interaction between p53 and PGC1α, the precise mechanism has not been completely determined in NSCLC. In this study, we investigated the specific signaling between p53 and PGC1α to improve anti-tumor drug effects on NSCLC. We found that low expression of p53 and high expression of PGC1α correlated with shorter survival time of NSCLC patients. In vitro experiments confirmed that NCI-H1299 (p53-null) cells had high levels of PGC1α and were insensitive to cisplatin (CDDP). When PGC1α was knocked down, the sensitivity to cisplatin was increased. Notably, the stability of PGC1α is an important mechanism in its activity regulation. We demonstrated that p53 decreased the stability of PGC1α via the ubiquitin proteasome pathway, which was mediated by protein kinase B (AKT) inhibition and glycogen synthase kinase (GSK-3β) activation. Therefore, p53 may regulate the stability of PGC1α through the AKT/GSK-3β pathway, thus affect the chemosensitivity of NSCLC.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Cancer is increasingly becoming the leading cause of death in many countries, and malignant tumours of the digestive system account for majority of cancer incidence and mortality cases. Metabolism has been identified as a core hallmark of cancer. Peroxisome proliferator activated receptor gamma coactivator-1 alpha (PGC-1α) is a pivotal regulator of mitochondrial energy metabolism. Accumulating evidence reveals that PGC-1α is essential in cancer development. OBJECTIVE We summarize the latest research progress of PGC-1α in common digestive system malignant tumours. Some related modulators and pathways are analyzed as well. METHODS We conducted a literature review on the development of PGC-1α in common digestive system malignant tumours. RESULTS In colorectal cancer, PGC-1α appears to provide growth advantages by different pathways, although it has also been reported to have opposite effects. The previous studies of PGC-1α on liver cancer also demonstrated different effects by sundry pathways. Concerning gastric cancer, PGC-1α promotes cell proliferation, apoptosis in vitro and tumour growth in vivo. AMPK/SIRT1/PGC-1α is related to the inhibition of apoptosis in pancreatic cancer cells. Pancreatic cancer stem cells are strongly dependent on mitochondrial oxidative phosphorylation. PGC-1α is required to maintain the stemness property of pancreatic cancer stem cells. CONCLUSION We explore diverse mechanisms that explain the dichotomous functions of PGC-1α on tumorigenesis, and discuss the latest research concerning digestive system malignant tumours. This review would provide better comprehension of the field and a basis for further studies associated with PGC-1α in digestive system cancers.

[PMID: 31652933 PMCID: PMC6893417 DOI: 10.3390/cancers11111629] [Citation(s) in RCA: 7] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.4] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/04/2019] [Revised: 10/04/2019] [Accepted: 10/21/2019] [Indexed: 02/07/2023] Open
Abstract
Obesity is well accepted as crucial risk factor that plays a critical role in the initiation and progression of colorectal cancer (CRC). More specifically, visceral adipose tissue (VAT) in people with obesity could produce chronic inflammation and an altered profile expression of key transcription factors that promote a favorable microenvironment to colorectal carcinogenesis. For this, the aim of this study was to explore the relationship between adipogenic and inflammatory transcription factors in VAT from nonobese, obese, and/or CRC patients. To test this idea, we studied the expression and methylation of CCAAT-enhancer binding protein type alpha (C/EBP-α), peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma (PPAR-γ), peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma coactivator 1-α (PGC-1α) and nuclear factor κ-light-chain-enhancer of activated B cells (NF-κB) in VAT from non-obese control, non-obese CRC subjects, overweight/obese control, and overweight/obese CRC patients and their correlation with anthropometric and biochemical variables. We found decreased expression of C/EBP-α in overweight/obese CRC patients in comparison with overweight/obese control subjects. PGC-1α and NF-κB were overexpressed in CRC patients independently of the BMI. NF-κB promoter was hypomethylated in overweight/obese CRC patients when compared to overweight/obese control individuals. In addition, multiple significant correlations between expression, methylation, and biochemical parameters were found. Finally, linear regression analysis showed that the expression of C/EBP-α and NF-κB and that NF-κB methylation were associated with CRC and able to explain up to 55% of CRC variability. Our results suggest that visceral adipose tissue may be a key factor in tumor development and inflammatory state. We propose C/EBP-α, PGC-1α and NF-κB to be interesting candidates as potential biomarkers in adipose tissue for CRC patients.

Abstract
Chemoresistance constitute nowadays the major contributor to therapy failure in most cancers. There are main factors that mitigate cell response to therapy, such as target organ, inherent sensitivity to the administered compound, its metabolism, drug efflux and influx or alterations on specific cellular targets, among others. We now know that intrinsic properties of cancer cells, including metabolic features, substantially contribute to chemoresistance. In fact, during the last years, numerous reports indicate that cancer cells resistant to chemotherapy demonstrate significant alterations in mitochondrial metabolism, membrane polarization and mass. Metabolic activity and expression of several mitochondrial proteins are modulated under treatment to cope with stress, making these organelles central players in the development of resistance to therapies. Here, we review the role of mitochondria in chemoresistant cells in terms of metabolic rewiring and function of key mitochondria-related proteins.

Abstract
Ethylmalonic Encephalopathy Protein 1 (ETHE1) is a sulfur dioxygenase that regulates cellular H2S levels. We previously demonstrated a significant increase of ETHE1 expression in "single-hit" colon epithelial cells from crypts of patients with Familial Adenomatous Polyposis (FAP). Here, we report elevated levels of ETHE1 expression and increased mitochondrial density occurring in-situ in phenotypically normal FAP colorectal mucosa. We also found that constitutive expression of ETHE1 increased aerobic glycolysis ("Warburg effect"), oxidative phosphorylation, and mitochondrial biogenesis in colorectal cancer (CRC) cell lines, thereby depleting H2S which relieved the inhibition of phosphodiesterase (PDE), and increased adenosine monophosphate (AMP) levels. This led to activation of the energy sensing AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPKp), Sirtuin1 (SIRT1) and peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor γ coactivator 1α (PGC1α), a master regulator of mitochondrial biogenesis. By contrast, shRNA silencing of ETHE1 reduced PDE activity, AMPKp/SIRT1/PGC1α levels and mitochondrial biogenesis. Constitutive expression of ETHE1 accelerated both CRC cell xenograft and orthotopic patient derived xenograft CRC cell growth in vivo. Overall, our data nominate elevated ETHE1 expression levels as a novel biomarker and potential therapeutic target for the prevention of CRC tumorigenesis.

Abstract
The involvement of mitochondrial dysfunction in the pathophysiology of attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) has been suggested in several reports. Mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) copy number as well as methylation of the D-loop region and peroxisome-proliferator-activated receptor γ co-activator-1α (PPARGC1A) are considered biomarkers for mitochondrial dysfunction. We compared the mtDNA copy number and methylation ratio of the D-loop region and PPARGC1A between ADHD patients and controls and also among ADHD subtypes. The present study included 70 subjects with ADHD and 70 age- and gender-matched healthy controls (HCs). We measured the relative mtDNA copy number in peripheral blood cells using quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qPCR), and the methylation ratio was measured using methylation-specific PCR (MSP) after bisulfite conversion. The relative mtDNA copy number was significantly higher in ADHD patients than in HCs (p = 0.028). The mtDNA methylation ratio of PPARGC1A was decreased in ADHD patients compared with HCs (p = 0.008). After adjusting for IQ level, only the mtDNA copy number differed between the ADHD and HCs (p = 0.01). There was a significant difference in the methylation ratio of PPARGC1A among ADHD subtypes. These results suggest the possible involvement of mitochondrial dysfunction in the pathophysiology of ADHD. Further large cohort studies investigating the correlation between clinical markers and biomarkers of mitochondrial dysfunction are warranted.

Abstract
Parkinson's disease (PD) is a neurodegenerative disorder characterized by a progressive loss of dopamine (DA) neurons through apoptotic, inflammatory and oxidative stress mechanisms. The octadecaneuropeptide (ODN) is a diazepam-binding inhibitor (DBI)-derived peptide, expressed by astrocytes, which protects neurons against oxidative cell damages and apoptosis in an in vitro model of PD. The present study reveals that a single intracerebroventricular injection of 10 ng ODN 1 h after the last administration of 1-methyl-4-phenyl-1,2,3,6-tetrahydropyridine (MPTP) prevented the degeneration of DA neurons induced by the toxin in the substantia nigra pars compacta of mice, 7 days after treatment. ODN-mediated neuroprotection was associated with a reduction of the number of glial fibrillary acidic protein-positive reactive astrocytes and a strong inhibition of the expression of pro-inflammatory genes such as interleukins 1β and 6, and tumor necrosis factor-α. Moreover, ODN blocked the inhibition of the anti-apoptotic gene Bcl-2, and the stimulation of the pro-apoptotic genes Bax and caspase-3, induced by MPTP in the substantia nigra pars compacta. ODN also decreased or even in some cases abolished MPTP-induced oxidative damages, overproduction of reactive oxygen species and accumulation of lipid oxidation products in DA neurons. Furthermore, DBI knockout mice appeared to be more vulnerable than wild-type animals to MPTP neurotoxicity. Taken together, these results show that the gliopeptide ODN exerts a potent neuroprotective effect against MPTP-induced degeneration of nigrostriatal DA neurons in mice, through mechanisms involving downregulation of neuroinflammatory, oxidative and apoptotic processes. ODN may, thus, reduce neuronal damages in PD and other cerebral injuries involving oxidative neurodegeneration.

Abstract
Peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor γ (PPARγ) is part of a nuclear receptor superfamily that regulates gene expression involved in cell differentiation, proliferation, immune/inflammation response, and lipid metabolism. PPARγ coactivator-1α (PGC-1α), initially identified as a PPARγ-interacting protein, is an important regulator of diverse metabolic pathways, such as oxidative metabolism and energy homeostasis. The role of PGC-1α in diabetes, neurodegeneration, and cardiovascular disease is particularly well known. PGC-1α is also now known to play important roles in cancer, independent of the role of PPARγ in cancer. Though many researchers have studied the expression and clinical implications of PPARγ and PGC-1α in cancer, there are still many controversies about the role of PPARγ and PGC-1α in cancer. This review examines and summarizes some recent data on the role and action mechanisms of PPARγ and PGC-1α in cancer, respectively, particularly the recent progress in understanding the role of PPARγ in several cancers since our review was published in 2012.

Abstract
Background Colorectal cancer (CRC) is a major global public health problem and the second leading cause of cancer-related death. Mitochondrial dysfunction has long been suspected to be involved in this type of tumorigenesis, as supported by an accumulating body of research evidence. However, little is known about how mitochondrial alterations contribute to tumorigenesis. Mitochondrial biogenesis is a fundamental cellular process required to maintain functional mitochondria and as an adaptive mechanism in response to changing energy requirements. Mitochondrial biogenesis is regulated by peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma coactivator 1-α (PPARGC1A or PGC1α). In this paper, we report a systematic review to summarize current evidence on the role of PGC1α in the initiation and progression of CRC. The aim is to provide a basis for more comprehensive research. Methods The literature search, data extraction and quality assessment were performed according to the document Guidance on the Conduct of Narrative Synthesis in Systematic Reviews and the PRISMA declaration. Results The studies included in this review aimed to evaluate whether increased or decreased PGC1α expression affects the development of CRC. Each article proposes a possible molecular mechanism of action and we create two concept maps. Conclusion Our systematic review indicates that altered expression of PGC1α modifies CRC risk. Most studies showed that overexpression of this gene increases CRC risk, while some studies indicated that lower than normal expression levels could increase CRC risk. Thus, various authors propose PGC1α as a good candidate molecular target for cancer therapy. Reducing expression of this gene could help to reduce risk or progression of CRC.

Abstract
Astroglial cells are important actors in the defense of brain against oxidative stress injuries. Glial cells synthesize and release the octadecaneuropeptide ODN, a diazepam-binding inhibitor (DBI)-related peptide, which acts through its metabotropic receptor to protect neurons and astrocytes from oxidative stress-induced apoptosis. The purpose of the present study is to examine the contribution of the endogenous ODN in the protection of astrocytes and neurons from moderate oxidative stress. The administration of H2O2 (50 μM, 6 h) induced a moderate oxidative stress in cultured astrocytes, i.e., an increase in reactive oxygen species, malondialdehyde, and carbonyl group levels, but it had no effect on astrocyte death. Mass spectrometry and QPCR analysis revealed that 50 μM H2O2 increased ODN release and DBI mRNA levels. The inhibition of ODN release or pharmacological blockage of the effects of ODN revealed that in these conditions, 50 μM H2O2 induced the death of astrocytes. The transfection of astrocytes with DBI siRNA increased the vulnerability of cells to moderate stress. Finally, the addition of 1 nM ODN to culture media reversed cell death observed in DBI-deficient astrocytes. The treatment of neurons with media from 50 μM H2O2-stressed astrocytes significantly reduced the neuronal death induced by H2O2; this effect is greatly attenuated by the administration of an ODN metabotropic receptor antagonist. Overall, these results indicate that astrocytes produce authentic ODN, notably in a moderate oxidative stress situation, and this glio- and neuro-protective agent may form part of the brain defense mechanisms against oxidative stress injury.

Abstract
Alcoholic liver disease is a pathological condition caused by overconsumption of alcohol. Because of the high morbidity and mortality associated with this disease, there remains a need to elucidate the molecular mechanisms underlying its etiology and to develop new treatments. Because peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-β/δ (PPARβ/δ) modulates ethanol-induced hepatic effects, the present study examined alterations in gene expression that may contribute to this disease. Chronic ethanol treatment causes increased hepatic CYP2B10 expression inPparβ/δ+/+ mice but not in Pparβ/δ-/- mice. Nuclear and cytosolic localization of the constitutive androstane receptor (CAR), a transcription factor known to regulate Cyp2b10 expression, was not different between genotypes. PPARγ co-activator 1α, a co-activator of both CAR and PPARβ/δ, was up-regulated in Pparβ/δ+/+ liver following ethanol exposure, but not in Pparβ/δ-/- liver. Functional mapping of the Cyp2b10 promoter and ChIP assays revealed that PPARβ/δ-dependent modulation of SP1 promoter occupancy up-regulated Cyp2b10 expression in response to ethanol. These results suggest that PPARβ/δ regulates Cyp2b10 expression indirectly by modulating SP1 and PPARγ co-activator 1α expression and/or activity independent of CAR activity. Ligand activation of PPARβ/δ attenuates ethanol-induced Cyp2b10 expression in Pparβ/δ+/+ liver but not in Pparβ/δ-/- liver. Strikingly, Cyp2b10 suppression by ligand activation of PPARβ/δ following ethanol treatment occurred in hepatocytes and was mediated by paracrine signaling from Kupffer cells. Combined, results from the present study demonstrate a novel regulatory role of PPARβ/δ in modulating CYP2B10 that may contribute to the etiology of alcoholic liver disease.

Cheng CF, Ku HC, Lin H. Functional alpha 1 protease inhibitor produced by a human hepatoma cell line. ACTA ACUST UNITED AC 1982; 19:ijms19113447. [PMID: 30400212 PMCID: PMC6274980 DOI: 10.3390/ijms19113447] [Citation(s) in RCA: 244] [Impact Index Per Article: 5.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/31/2018] [Revised: 10/23/2018] [Accepted: 10/30/2018] [Indexed: 12/13/2022]
Abstract
Alpha 1 protease inhibitor antigen was identified in the culture medium of the human ascites hepatoma cell line SK-HEP-1. Trypsin inhibitory activity and alpha 1 Pl antigen accumulated in serum-free medium concomitantly over a period of several days. Radioactive alpha 1 Pl antigen was detected in conditioned medium from cultures supplemented with 35S-L-methionine, indicating a synthesis and release of the protein. Alpha 1 Pl antigen in conditioned medium appeared to be antigenically identical to that in human plasma, and the newly synthesized (radiolabeled) antigen co-migrated with plasma, alpha 1 Pl after immunoelectrophoresis or SDS-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. Moreover, evidence is presented that the synthesized inhibitor exhibits functional activity, since the 35S-labeled alpha 1 Pl in conditioned medium complexes with trypsin. We conclude that SK-HEP-1 cells in culture produce functionally active alpha 1 Pl which may be identical to that in plasma.
