چکیده

Wrap531α, a newly identified natural antisense transcript of p53, can regulate p53 expression upon DNA damage. We sought to investigate changes in Wrap53 and p53 levels in an osteosarcoma cell line (U-2OS) exposed to cisplatin and to study apoptosis before and after knockdown of Wrap53. Our RT-PCR analysis showed a dose- dependent 3 to 40-fold increase in Wrap53 mRNA transcript levels in U-2OS exposed to 5 to 20 μM cisplatin. An approximate 2-fold increase was also observed in transcript levels of p53 mRNA. Furthermore, transient knockdown of Wrap53 by siRNAs in U-2OS cells treated with 10 μM cisplatin reduced p53 mRNA transcript levels by up to 50% of those of controls. Immunoblotting analysis showed that in U-2OS cells treated with siRNA against exon 4 of the Wrap53 gene, the protein level of p53 was also markedly reduced. Our findings suggest that cisplatin upregulates the expression of p53 in osteosarcoma cells by upregulating the transcript levels of Wrap53. Finally, measurement of apoptotic cell death by flow cytometry showed that knockdown of Wrap53 reduced apotosis in U-2OS cells induced by cisplatin.

Bufalin induces apoptosis in the U‑2OS human osteosarcoma cell line via triggering the mitochondrial pathway.

Bufalin has been shown to induce apoptosis in osteosarcoma cells; however, the underlying mechanism has not been elucidated. The purpose of the present study was to investigate whether mitochondria‑mediated signaling pathways trigger the process of apoptosis in the U‑2OS osteosarcoma cell line. Bufalin inhibited the proliferation and induced apoptosis in U‑2OS cells in a time- and dose‑dependen...

Target therapy of TRIM-14 inhibits osteosarcoma aggressiveness through the nuclear factor-κB signaling pathway

Osteosarcoma is the most common cause of cancer-associated mortality and the prognosis is yet to be fully elucidated due to the paucity of effective therapeutic targets that significantly influence the quality of life and mean survival rates of patients with osteosarcoma. Studies have showed that tripartite motif-containing (TRIM)-14 is a member of the TRIM protein family that has a vital role ...

Targeting GSTP1-1 induces JNK activation and leads to apoptosis in cisplatin-sensitive and -resistant human osteosarcoma cell lines.

The effect of the glutathione transferase P1-1 (GSTP1-1) targeting has been investigated in both sensitive (U-2OS) and cisplatin-resistant (U-2OS/CDDP4 μg) human osteosarcoma cell lines. Despite the different enzyme's content, inhibition of GSTP1-1 by 6-(7-nitro-2,1,3-benzoxadiazol-4-ylthio)hexanol (NBDHEX) causes the activation of c-Jun N-terminal kinase (JNK) and apoptosis in both cell lines....

Ginsenoside Rg3 induces DNA damage in human osteosarcoma cells and reduces MNNG-induced DNA damage and apoptosis in normal human cells.

Panax ginseng is a Chinese medicinal herb. Ginsenosides are the main bioactive components of P. ginseng, and ginsenoside Rg3 is the primary ginsenoside. Ginsenosides can potently kill various types of cancer cells. The present study was designed to evaluate the potential genotoxicity of ginsenoside Rg3 in human osteosarcoma cells and the protective effect of ginsenoside Rg3 with respect to N-me...
