Jmjd3 inhibitor GSK-J4 induces apoptosis and attenuates invasion in HepG2 cells by inhibiting STAT3 phosphorylation
摘要
目的
2
探讨GSK-J4通过抑制组蛋白去甲基化酶含Jumonji结构域蛋白3 (Jumonji domain-containing protein 3
Jmjd3)并上调H3K27me3的表达影响HepG2肝癌细胞凋亡和侵袭的分子机制。
方法
2
体外培养人正常肝细胞L02及人肝细胞肝癌(hepatocellular carcinoma
HCC)细胞株HepG2、SMMC7721
RT-PCR检测Jmjd3 mRNA表达
Western blot检测Jmjd3、H3K27me3蛋白表达; CCK-8法检测不同浓度GSK-J4 (0、10、30、50 μmol/mL)处理HepG2后增殖能力; 流式细胞仪检测凋亡率; Transwell检测细胞侵袭力; Western blot检测Jmjd3、H3K27me3和凋亡相关蛋白Bcl2、Bax、Caspase3、上皮细胞间质转化(epithelial-mesenchymal transition
To determine the effect of GSK-J4 on apoptosis and invasion in HepG2 cells by inhibiting histone demethylase Jumonji domain-containing protein 3 (Jmjd3) and modifying H3K27me3
and mine its underlying mechanism.
Methods
2
Human normal hepatocytes L02 and hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) cell lines HepG2 and SMMC7721 were employed in this study.The mRNA expression of Jmjd3 was detected by RT-PCR
and its protein level and that of H3K27me3 were measured by Western blotting.CCK-8 assay was used to detect the proliferation of HepG2 cells after the treatment of different concentrations of GSK-J4 (0
10
30 and 50 μmol/mL) treatment.Flow cytometry and Transwell chamber test were used respectively to detect cell apoptosis and invasion ability.The expression levels of Jmjd3 and H3K27me3
apoptosis related proteins Bcl2
Bax and Caspase3
epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) markers E-cadherin and Vimentin
and p-STAT3 and STAT3 were detected by Western blotting.
Results
2
Jmjd3 was significantly highly expressed
while H3K27me3 was lowly expressed in HCC cell lines HepG2 and SMMC7721 when compared with the L02 cells (
P
<
0.05).GSK-J4 treatment inhibited the proliferation of HepG2 cells (
P
<
0.05)
increased cell apoptotic rate
weakened invasion ability (
P
<
0.05)
decreased the expression of Jmjd3 while elevated that of H3K27me3.The treatment also resulted in the decrease of Bcl2 level
increases of Bax and Caspase3 levels
elevation of E-cadherin
but reduce of Vimentin level (
P
<
0.05)
and inhibition of STAT3 phosphorylation (
P
<
0.01).
Conclusion
2
GSK-J4 induces apoptosis and suppresses the invasion ability in HepG2 cells by inhibiting Jmjd3 and up-regulating H3K27me3
which may be related to the suppression of EMT formation and STAT3 phosphorylation.
