| Backgroud: Multiple myeloma(MM)is a kind of hyperplastic blood system tumor in plasma cells in the elderly malignant which can lead to bone damage,can also be invasion to other organs,such as the liver,spleen,lymph nodes,can be found in kidney,lung,heart,thyroid,alimentary canal,uterus,adrenal and subcutaneous tissue,and it also can cause the body metabolism and immune function abnormalities.The present treatment measures mainly include chemotherapy and stem cell transplantation.Because of tumor cell proliferation ratio is very low,the formation of multiple drug resistance and tumor cell invasive strong aspects of reasons,led to the current clinical treatment of multiple myeloma curative effect is not ideal.As is known to all,myeloma cell migration,invasion and spread of ability,at the same time,the study of the mechanism is less,but with the deepening of the research,we will have a more comprehensive understanding of the pathogenesis of MM and thorough treatment will be more effective and also have specificity,to reduce the patient marrow infiltration of outside,so as to fundamentally improve the prognosis of patients.Now it thinks that multiple myeloma have complex pathogenesis on development and marrow infiltration events related to the complex cell genetics.Some genetic abnormalities is often considered as multiple myeloma pathogenic factor.Study found that in recent years,in multiple myeloma cells and bone marrow microenvironment can generate many angiogenic factors,such as vascular endothelial growth factor(VEGF)and basic fibroblast growth factor(bFGF),interleukin-8,angiogenin-1,osteopontin(OPN),myeloma cells secrete growth factors and other matrix metalloproteinases(MMPs),especially the MMP-2 to promote angiogenesis is particularly important.At the sametime,some studies have demonstrated that HOXB7 genes can be induced bFGF specificity,GROa,VEGF,such as vascular growth factor expression level rises,the activation of PI3K/Akt signal pathway,inhibiting apoptosis of endothelial cells,and then further promote tumor angiogenesis,tumor growth and metastasis.HOXB7 genes promote tumor cell proliferation,invasion,metastasis and angiogenesis of tumor cells in a variety of solid tumors cells has been confirmed,and its role in the hematopoietic system and hematopoietic tumor cells is unclear,especially in the multiple myeloma research,reported at home and abroad is less.Therefore,we studies the role of the transcription factor HOXB7 in different clinical stages of patients with multiple myeloma,testing a series of related gene expression at the same time,further elaborated HOXB7 in occurrence,development and infiltration of multiple myeloma.By siRNA transfection multiple myeloma cells,make HOXB7 cut,it can be inspected for multiple myeloma cell proliferation,apoptosis,cell cycle,etc.In our previous study,we have confirmed the SHP-1 as tyrosine kinase 1gene in acute leukemia,may together other genes through phosphorylation off or go to methylation play the role of tumor suppressor genes.Domestic and foreign research in the field of multiple myeloma and is relatively small,in this study,we found that the SHP-1 gene in multiple myeloma has potential antiangiogenic and antitumor activities.By siRNA transfection multiple myeloma cells,make the SHP-1 gene,detect the expression of related genes,further illustrate the role of it in multiple myeloma,and provide strong theoretical basis for gene therapy for multiple myeloma.Study the following three parts:Part one The role of transcription factors HOXB7 in different clinicalstages of patients with multiple myelomaObjective:Detection from MM patients with bone marrow mononuclear cells were purified HOXB7 mRNA and its protein levels in the

proliferation and apoptosis,and reveals the underlying molecular mechanism..Methods : Collection of 49 patients with MM marrow mononuclear nuclear cells,and bone marrow pathology and bone marrow supernatant on at the same time,application of CD138 antibodies to purify the MM cells,at the same time and 20 patients with iron deficiency anemia bone marrow mononuclear cells,according to patients will Durie-Salmon,staging and whether with marrow infiltrates into groups,were analyzed.Real-time fluorescent quantitative PCR(FQ-PCR)method to detect the expression of HOXB7,Western blot method to measure its protein expression level,at the same time to bone marrow pathology immunohistochemistry and ElISA analysis of bone marrow supernatant.Results:1 Effects of Rg3 on the viability of multiple myeloma cell lines.The uncontrolled cell proliferation of cancer cells is vital in the progression of cancer,therefore,the present study evaluated the effects of Rg3 on the viability of multiple myeloma cells.Treatment with Rg3 inhibited the viability of the U266 cells in a time-and dose-dependent manner.The inhibition of cell viability in the U266 cells following treatment with Rg3 for 48 h reached the maximal level at 80 μg/ml,and the half maximal inhibitory concentration(IC50)value was 47.5 mg/l.In addition to U266,two other multiple myeloma cell lines,RPMI8226,were also included in the present study to examine these effects.Rg3 had a more potent effect in inhibiting the viability of the RPMI8226(IC50=36.8 μg/ml)compared with the U266 cells.2 Arrests the cell cycle of multiple myeloma cells.Flow cytometric cell cycle analysis was performed using PI staining to determine the effect of Rg3 on cell cycle progression.Treat-ment of the U266 cells with 20,40 and 80μg/ml Rg3 increased the percentage of the cell population in the G1 phase and decreased the percentage in the S phase.However,Rg3 had no effect on the G2/M phase.3 Similar results were observed in the RPMI8226.Bcl-2 and Bax are anti-apoptotic and pro-apoptotic proteins,and the ratio of Bcl-2/Bax appears to be a determinant of cell survival and death.To understand the mechanism by which Rg3 induces cell apoptosis,the expression levels of Bcl-2 and Bax,and the ratio of Bcl-2 to Bax were measured.The results of the western blot analysis showed that Rg3 treatment markedly decreased the protein expression of Bcl-2 and increased the protein expression of Bax in the U266 cells,resulting in a further decrease in the Bcl-2/Bax ratio.As expected,Rg3 treatment caused a significant decrease in the protein expression of cytochrome C in the mitochondria,and an increase in the cytoplasm.Cytochrome C release sequentially activates downstream apoptosis associated proteins,including caspases.Western blot analysis demon-strated that Rg3 increased the protein expression levels of cleaved caspase-9,caspase-8 and caspase-3.Collectively,these data suggested that mitochondrial dysfunction may underlie,at least partially,the enhanced effect of Rg3 on myeloma cell apoptosis.Conclusions:Ginseng saponin Rg3 U266,RPMI8226 cell activity,have the time-dose-dependent,and by regulating the cell cycle protein-dependent kinase pathway leading to cell cycle arrest in G1 phase.Moreover,Rg3 apoptosis induction of multiple myeloma cells,involved in regulating B cell lymphoma-2(Bcl2)/Bcl2 protein balance,regulation of caspase activity and the release of cytochrome C from mitochondria in the cytoplasm.Rg3 effectively suppress multiple myeloma cell proliferation and induce cell apoptosis. |
