BACKGROUND Melatonin, which is well-known antioxidant, has been shown to have anti-invasive properties for glioma. However, little is known about the effects of melatonin on the migration and invasion of glioma cells under hypoxia, which is essential for the progress of the microenvironment of the tumor. In addition, the focus of adhesion kinase (FAK) and a proline-rich tyrosine kinase 2 (Pyk2) are closely associated with cell migration and invasion. Therefore, we investigated the possible role of this kinase and related signal in the regulation of the behavior of a human U251 glioma cells with melatonin under hypoxia.
METHOD The ability of U251 cells migration and invasion of glioma determined by the wound healing and transwell in vitro assays. Production of intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS) were measured using a fluorescent probe 6-carboxy-2 ‘, 7’-dichorodihydrofluorescein diacetate (DCFH-DA). experiment immunofluorescence and Western blotting analysis is used to detect the protein expression levels. Disturb small RNA (siRNA) was used to silence the expression of specific genes.
RESULTS Pharmacological concentration (1 mM) of melatonin significantly inhibited the migration and invasion of human glioma U251 cells under hypoxia. The inhibitory effect of melatonin is accompanied by decreased phosphorylation of FAK and Pyk2, and decreased expression of alpha v beta 3 (αvβ3) integrin. Additionally, αvβ3 integrin inhibition by siRNA reduces phosphorylation of FAK / Pyk2 and shows anti-tumor effects are the same as melatonin, indicating the involvement of αvβ3 integrin- FAK / Pyk2 pathway in anti-migration and anti-invasive melatonin. It was also found that melatonin treatment decreased ROS levels in U251 glioma cells cultured under hypoxia. ROS inhibitor apocynin not only inhibit integrin αvβ3 expression and phosphorylation of FAK and Pyk2 level, but also suppresses the migration and invasive capacity U251 glioma cells under hypoxia.
CONCLUSION These results suggest that melatonin exerts anti-migratory effect and anti-invasive glioma cells in response to hypoxia via ROS-αvβ3 integrin-FAK / Pyk2 signal path. This provides evidence that melatonin may be a potential therapeutic molecules targeting the hypoxic micro glioma.
Involvement of ROS-alpha v beta 3 integrin-FAK/Pyk2 in the inhibitory effect of melatonin on U251 glioma cell migration and invasion under hypoxia.
Epithelial V-like antigen mediate the efficacy of anti-integrin alpha₄ treatment in a mouse model of multiple sclerosis.
Natalizumab inhibit the transmigration of activated T lymphocytes into the brain and is efficacious in multiple sclerosis (MS). However, from the perspective of pharmacogenomics, efficacy and safety in certain patients remains unclear. Here our aim is to analyze the effects of epithelial V-like antigen (EVA) on the anti-alpha₄ integrin (VLA4) efficacy in a mouse model of MS, experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE). EVA has previously been characterized in human CD4 + T lymphocytes, mouse thymus development, and epithelial cells of the choroid plexus.
Further analysis here showed expression in B lymphocytes, and increase lymphocyte EVA⁺ after immunization. The following active induction of EAE model MOG³⁵⁻⁵⁵ active immunization, EVA deficient mice developed EAE injury and white matter tissue is more severe than the wild type control. This severe EAE phenotype did not respond to anti-VLA4 treatment. In both the control condition and the anti-VLA4 antibodies, these mice show persistent CNS invasion mature B lymphocytes (CD19⁺, CD21⁺, sIgG⁺), increased serum levels of autoantibodies, and appendages broad and IgG deposition in the lesion containing CD5⁺IgG⁺ cells.
Description: Interleukin-17A Human Recombinant produced in E.Coli is a homodimeric, non-glycosylated polypeptide chain containing a total of 264 amino acids (2 chains of 132 aa) and having a molecular mass of 31kDa. ;The IL-17 is purified by proprietary chromatographic techniques.
Description: The originally described IL-17 protein, now known as IL-17A, is a homodimer of two 136 amino acid chains, secreted by activated T-cells that act on stromal cells to induce production of proinflammatory and hematopoietic bioactive molecules. Today, IL-17 represents a family of structurally-related cytokines that share a highly conserved C-terminal region but differ from one another in their N-terminal regions and in their distinct biological roles. The six known members of this family, IL-17A through IL-17F, are secreted as homodimers. IL-17A exhibits cross-species bioactivity between human and murine cells. Recombinant human IL-17A is a 31.3 kDa disulfide-linked homodimer of two 137 amino acid polypeptide chains.
Description: IL-17 Antibody: Interleukin 17 (IL-17) is a family of pro-inflammatory cytokines produced by activated T cells and is thought to have a major role in the initiation and perpetuation of rheumatoid arthritis. IL-17 regulates the activities of NF-κB and mitogen-activated protein kinases such as ERK and JNK. In addition, IL-17 stimulates the expression of IL-6 and cyclooxygenase-2 and enhances the production of nitric oxide. IL-17-producing T helper cells (TH-17 cells) have been the subject of much attention due to the importance of IL-17 in the pathogenesis of autoimmune inflammation. Because of its role in autoimmune diseases, it is thought that targeting the production and action of IL-17 would be beneficial therapeutically in these diseases.

Description: The protein encoded by this gene is a proinflammatory cytokine produced by activated T cells. This cytokine regulates the activities of NF-kappaB and mitogen-activated protein kinases. This cytokine can stimulate the expression of IL6 and cyclooxygenase-2 (PTGS2/COX-2), as well as enhance the production of nitric oxide (NO). High levels of this cytokine are associated with several chronic inflammatory diseases including rheumatoid arthritis, psoriasis and multiple sclerosis.

Description: Interleukin-17 is a potent pro-inflammatory cytokine produced by activated memory T cells. There are at least six members of the IL-17 family in humans and in mice. As IL-17 shares properties with IL-1 and TNF-alpha, it may induce joint inflammation and bone and cartilage destruction. This cytokine is found in synovial fluids of patients with rheumatoid arthritis, and produced by rheumatoid arthritis synovium. It increases IL-6 production, induces collagen degradation and decreases collagen synthesis by synovium and cartilage and proteoglycan synthesis in cartilage. IL-17 is also able to increase bone destruction and reduce its formation. Blocking of interleukin-17 with specific inhibitors provides a protective inhibition of cartilage and bone degradation.
