Abstract

Hepatoma-derived growth factor (HDGF) is a novel multifunctional growth factor that elicits pleiotropic effects on biological processes such as lung remodeling and renal development. Recent studies demonstrated that HDGF is related to tumor proliferation, invasion, angiogenesis, and apoptosis. However, the molecular mechanism of HDGF's involvement in apoptosis remains to be clarified. In this study, we first analyze the role of HDGF in colorectal carcinoma (CRC) progression by immunohistochemistry. Then we used small interference RNA (HDGF-siRNA) to block HDGF and assessed its effect on inducing apoptosis of CRC loVo cells. Apoptosis was detected using flow cytometry (FCM), DNA ladder analysis, and Hoechst 33258 staining. In addition, the expression levels of some apoptosis-related proteins were examined by western blot. The result showed that HDGF expression gradually increased in the colorectal carcinogenesis process. Further studies demonstrated that knock-down of HDGF can down-regulate the survivin, activate the mitochondrial pathway, and induce apoptosis in loVo cells. These findings suggest that HDGF is involved in colorectal carcinogenesis process. Further blocking HDGF exhibits potent pro-apoptotic properties in colon c...Continue Reading

Apoptosis

Apoptosis is a specific process that leads to programmed cell death through the activation of an evolutionary conserved intracellular pathway leading to pathognomic cellular changes distinct from cellular necrosis

Apoptosis in Cancer

Apoptosis is an important mechanism in cancer. By evading apoptosis, tumors can continue to grow without regulation and metastasize systemically. Many therapies are evaluating the use of pro-apoptotic activation to eliminate cancer growth. Here is the latest research on apoptosis in cancer.
