Zearalenone exposure affects epigenetic modifications of mouse eggs

Zhu, Cheng-Cheng,Hou, Yan-Jun,Han, Jun,Cui, Xiang-Shun,Kim, Nam-Hyung,Sun, Shao-Chen Oxford University Press 2014 Mutagenesis Vol.29 No.6

<P>Zearalenone (ZEA) is a mycotoxin produced by various <I>Fusarium</I> fungi, which has been shown to cause several cases of mycotoxicosis in farm animals and humans. However, there is no evidence regarding the effect of ZEA on mouse egg developmental competence. In this study, we found that the activation rate of maturated oocytes was affected in mice by ZEA treatment, indicating that ZEA affects egg developmental competence. And we explored possible mechanisms of low mouse maturated oocyte developmental competence after ZEA treatment from an epigenetic modification perspective. The fluorescence intensity analysis showed that 5-methyl cytosine level increased after ZEA treatment, indicating that the general DNA methylation level increased in the treated eggs. Moreover, histone methylations were also altered: H3K4me2 as well as H3K9me3 and H4K20me1, me2, me3 levels decreased in eggs that were cultured in high-dose ZEA medium. Thus, our results indicated that ZEA decreased egg developmental competence by affecting the epigenetic modifications.</P>

Cui, Cheng-Bi,Jeong, Seung-Kyoung,Lee, Yeon-Sil,Lee, Soon-Ok,Kang, Il-Jun,Lim, Soon-Sung The Korean Society for Applied Biological Chemistr 2009 Applied Biological Chemistry (Appl Biol Chem) Vol.52 No.6

Caffeoylquinic acids -3,4-di-O-caffeoylquinic acid (1); 1,3,5-tri-O-caffeoylquinic acid (2); and 3,4,5-tri-O-caffeoylqunic acid (3)- were isolated from an acetone-soluble fraction of the aerial parts of Artemisia princeps. Their structures were determined spectroscopically using 1D- and 2D-nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) studies, as well as by comparing the NMR results with previously published structures. All the isolates were subjected to in vitro bioassays to evaluate their efficacy in inhibiting rat lens aldose reductase (RLAR) activity and the formation of advanced glycation end products (AGEs). We found 1,3,5-tri-O-caffeoylquinic acid (2) to be the most potent AGE inhibitor, and the concentration that resulted in 50% inhibition ($IC_{50}$) was 22.18 ${\pm}$ 1.46 mM, as compared to the aminoguanidine and chlorogenic acid controls, which had $IC_{50}$ values of 1,093.11${\pm}$10.95 and 117.63${\pm}$0.20 mM, respectively. In the RLAR assay, the three caffeoylquinic acids were found to have $IC_{50}$ values in the range of 1.78-2.40 ${\mu}M$, demonstrating a 5- to 10-fold greater efficacy in RLAR inhibition as compared to the quercetin control, which had an $IC_{50}$ value of 17.91 ${\mu}M$.

Suppression of MED19 expression by shRNA induces inhibition of cell proliferation and tumorigenesis in human prostate cancer cells

( Xin Gang Cui ),( Dan Feng Xu ),( Chao Lv ),( Fa Jun Qu ),( Jin He ),( Ming Chen ),( Yu Shan Liu ),( Yi Gao ),( Jian Ping Che ),( Ya Cheng Yao ),( Hong Yu Yu ) 생화학분자생물학회(구 한국생화학분자생물학회) 2011 BMB Reports Vol.44 No.8

MED19 is a member of the Mediator that plays a key role in the activation and repression of signal transduction or the regulation of transcription in carcinomas. To tested the functional role of MED19 in human prostate cancer, we downregulated MED19 expression in prostate cancer cells (PC-3 and DU145) by lentivirus- mediated short hairpin (shRNA), and analyzed the effect of inhibition of MED19 on prostate cancer cell proliferation and tumorigenesis. The in vitro prostate cancer cell proliferation, colony formation, and in vivo tumor growth in nude mice xenografts was significantly reduced after the downregulation of MED19. Knock- down of MED19 caused S-phase arrest and induced apoptosis via modulation of Bid and Caspase 7. It was suggested that MED19 serves as a novel proliferation regulator that promotes growth of prostate cancer cells. [BMB reports 2011; 44(8): 547-552]

Lee, Yeon-Sil,Cui, Cheng-Bi,Kim, Jin-Kyu,Bae, Young-Soo,Lee, Jae-Yong,Kang, Il-Jun,Lim, Soon-Sung The Korean Society for Applied Biological Chemistr 2010 Applied Biological Chemistry (Appl Biol Chem) Vol.53 No.6

Bark extract of Populus nigra was examined as a possible inhibitor of aldose reductase, a key enzyme involved in diabetic complications. The aqueous acetone extract of P. nigra was subjected to gel filtration chromatography to produce an active compound, populoside, which inhibited aldose reductase with 50% inhibitory value of $18.55\;{\mu}M$ in a non-competitive manner. Populoside also inhibited sorbitol accumulation by 48.84% at $50\;{\mu}M$. These results suggested that the P. nigra-derived component populoside has the potential to be used in the treatment of diabetic complications.

RhoA-mediated MLC2 regulates actin dynamics for cytokinesis in meiosis

Duan, Xing,Liu, Jun,Zhu, Cheng-Cheng,Wang, Qiao-Chu,Cui, Xiang-Shun,Kim, Nam-Hyung,Xiong, Bo,Sun, Shao-Chen Informa UK (TaylorFrancis) 2016 Cell Cycle Vol.15 No.3

<P>During oocyte meiosis, the bipolar spindle forms in the central cytoplasm and then migrates to the cortex. Subsequently, the oocyte extrudes the polar body through two successive asymmetric divisions, which are regulated primarily by actin filaments. Myosin light chain2 (MLC2) phosphorylation plays pivotal roles in smooth muscle contraction, stress fiber formation, cell motility and cytokinesis. However, whether MLC2 phosphorylation participates in the oocyte polarization and asymmetric division has not been clarified. The present study investigated the expression and functions of MLC2 during mouse oocyte meiosis. Our result showed that p-MLC2 was localized in the oocyte cortex, with a thickened cap above the chromosomes. Meanwhile, p-MLC2 was also localized in the poles of spindle. Disruption of MLC2 activity by MLC2 knock down (K-D) caused the failure of polar body extrusion. Immunofluorescent staining showed that a large proportion of oocytes arrested in telophase stage and failed to undergo cytokinesis after culturing for 12hours. In the meantime, actin filament staining at oocyte membrane and cytoplasm were reduced in MLC2K(D) oocytes. Finally, we found that the phosphorylation of MLC2 protein levels was decreased after disruption of RhoA activity. Above all, our data indicated that the RhoA-mediated MLC2 regulates the actin organization for cytokinesis during mouse oocyte maturation.</P>

Bile Acid Transporters Are Expressed and Heterogeneously Distributed in Rat Bile Ducts

Zhu-lin Luo,Long Cheng,Tao Wang,Li-jun Tang,Fu-zhou Tian,Ke Xiang,Lin Cui 거트앤리버 소화기연관학회협의회 2019 Gut and Liver Vol.13 No.5

Background/Aims: Cholangiocytes are capable of reabsorbing bile salts from bile, but the pathophysiological significance of this process is unclear. To this end, we detected the expression and distribution of bile acid transport proteins in cholangiocytes from normal rat liver and analyzed the possible pathophysiological significance. Methods: Bile duct tissues of Sprague-Dawley rats were isolated by enzymatic digestion and mechanical isolation, and then divided into large and small bile duct tissues. Immunohistochemistry, real-time polymerase chain reaction and Western blotting were used to determine the expression of the apical sodium-dependent bile acid transporter (ASBT), ileal bile acid binding protein (IBABP), and basolateral organic solute transporter α (Ostα) in the biliary tract system of rats. Differences in the expression and distribution of these proteins were analyzed. Results: In cholangiocytes, ASBT and IBABP were mainly expressed in cholangiocytes of the large bile ducts, in which the expression of both was significantly higher than that in the small ducts (p<0.05). Ostα was simultaneously expressed in cholangiocytes of both the large and small bile ducts, showing no significant difference in expression between the two groups of bile ducts (p>0.05). Conclusions: Bile acid transporters are expressed and heterogeneously distributed in rat bile ducts, indicating that bile acid reabsorption by cholangiocytes might mainly occur in the large bile ducts. These findings may help explore the physiology of bile ducts and the pathogenesis of various cholangiopathies.
