RESUMEN
Background: Defects in DNA damage repair can cause genetic mutations, which in turn can cause different types of cancers. Chromatin remodeling complexes, which help repair damaged DNA, can cause the chromatin structure to change as a result of DNA damage. ARID1A may play a role in the process of DNA damage repair, and arid1a may be related to the occurrence and development of gastric cancer (GC). This study aimed to investigate the mechanism of ARID1A regulating the DNA damage repair of gastric adenocarcinoma cell lines AGS and SGC-7901 and its effect on migration, proliferation and apoptosis. Methods: The expression of ARID1A plasmid was detected by Western blot and real-time polymerase chain reaction (PCR). The effect of etoposide (ETO) on the survival rate of AGS and SGC-7901 gastric adenocarcinoma cell lines was detected by MTT assay. The DNA double-strand break model was established by ETO and then passed through the comet assay and immunofluorescence co-localization to observe DNA damage; western blot method was used to detect the effect of ARID1A on the expression of related proteins in DNA damage repair pathway in gastric adenocarcinoma cells; scratch test and colony formation experiments were used to observe ARID1A migration and proliferation of gastric adenocarcinoma cells. The flow cytometry was used to detect the effect of ARID1A on apoptosis of gastric adenocarcinoma cells. Results: The expression of mRNA and protein was increased after transfection of ARID1A plasmid. ETO was confirmed by MTT assay to inhibit cell survival in a dose-dependent manner. After the DNA double-strand break model was established by ETO, the expression levels of phospho-ataxia telangiectasia mutated (p-ATM) protein increased in the overexpressed ARID1A group. Meanwhile, the overexpressed ARID1A group had a shortened tail moment, and γ-H2AX and ARID1A co-localized in the DNA damage site of the nucleus. The over-expressed ARID1A group had weaker wound healing ability, reduced number of clone formation, and increased apoptosis rate. Conclusions: ARID1A may repair DNA double-strand breaks caused by ETO by p-ATM pathway; ARID1A can inhibit the migration and proliferation of gastric adenocarcinoma cells and promote apoptosis. Our findings indicate that ARID1A could serve as a therapeutic target and biomarker for GC patients.
RESUMEN
A method was studied for simultaneous determination of multi-elements in natural colored cotton by microwave digestion and ICP-AES. The contents of Ca, Mg, Fe, Cu, Ba, Zn, Al, Sr, Mn and Si in colored and white cotton were determined by this method. The recovery ratio obtained by standard addition method ranged between 93% and 111%, and the relative standard deviation was below 4% (n = 5). The results showed that the contents of Ca, Cu, Zn, Al, Fe, Sr and Si in green and brown cotton are higher than those in white cotton. The data from the study gives some references for further researches on the colored cotton.
