Abstract

To investigate the role and mechanisms of HAUSP (Herpesvirus Associated Ubiquitin Specific Protease) and NANOG in pathogenesis of malignant human gliomas progression. Lentivirus-mediated HAUSP over-expression and RNAiHAUSP mediated HAUSP down-regulation were established in the glioma cells (U87 and U251 cell lines). Firstly, Real-time qPCR, western-blot (WB) and immunofluorescence staining were performed to detect mRNA levels, protein expressions and deposition of HAUSP and NANOG in the glioma cells, respectively. Then cell proliferation, invasion, apoptosis and xenograft tumor growth in nude mice were assessed by using cell counting kit-8 (CCK-8) assay, transwell assay, flow cytometry (FCM) and Hematoxylin-Eosin (HE) staining. We first demonstrated HAUSP was significantly increased in lentivirus- mediated HAUSP over-expression cells compared to the Control group. HAUSP over-expression could upregulate genes involved in proliferation and invasion such as NANOG. However, the mRNA of NANOG had no significant changes. Similarly, in RNAiHAUSP mediated HAUSP down-regulation group, HAUSP were significantly decreased compared to the Control group. Simultaneously, NANOG protein were decreased significantly, which decreased the proliferation and invasion, increased the apoptosis rate of glioma cells. Finally, low expression of HAUSP could suppress xenograft tumors growth in nude mice in different periods. This study revealed that HAUSP-NANOG pathway is a key target to inhibit glioma cells proliferation, and NANOG play important role in the formation and evolution of glioma cells. The regulation of HAUSP could change the biological activity of glioma cells through regulate NANOG expression. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
