Rgs16, A Novel P53 And Prb Cross-Talk Candidate Inhibits Migration And Invasion Of Pancreatic Cancer Cells, Miranda B. Carper, James Denvir, Goran Boskovic, Donald A. Primerano, Pier Paolo Claudio

Pier P. Claudio

Data collected since the discovery of p53 and pRb/RB1 suggests these tumor suppressors cooperate to inhibit tumor progression. Patients who have mutations in both p53 and RB1 genes have increased tumor reoccurrence and decreased survival compared to patients with only one tumor suppressor gene inactivated. It remains unclear how p53 and pRb cooperate toward inhibiting tumorigenesis. Using RNA expression profiling we identified 179 p53 and pRb cross-talk candidates in normal lung fibroblasts (WI38) cells exogenously coexpressing p53 and pRb. Regulator of G protein signaling 16 (RGS16) was among the p53 and pRb cross-talk candidates and has been implicated in inhibiting …

Mir-9 Promotes The Phenotypic Switch Of Vascular Smooth Muscle Cells By Targeting Klf5, Xiaochun Lu, Shitang Ma, Bo Zhou, Tieling Li Jan 2019

Mir-9 Promotes The Phenotypic Switch Of Vascular Smooth Muscle Cells By Targeting Klf5, Xiaochun Lu, Shitang Ma, Bo Zhou, Tieling Li

Turkish Journal of Medical Sciences

Background/aim: Diabetic vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) are characterized by increased proliferation and migration. Small noncoding microRNAs (miRNAs) have been considered critical modulators of the VSMC phenotypic switch after an environmental stimulus. However, microRNA in high glucose-induced proinflammation and its atherogenic effect is still ambiguous. Materials and methods: The technique of qRT-PCR was used to examine the expression of miR-9 in VSMCs. The downstream signaling protein relative to miR-9 regulation, Krüppel-like factor 5, and some marker genes of contractile VSMCs were analyzed by western blotting and qRT-PCR. Luciferase reporter assay was used to detect the expression of KLF5, which is …
