摘要
En 中文
Nucling is a stress-inducible protein associated with apoptosomes. The cytochrome c-triggered formation of apoptosomes represents a key-initiating event in apoptosis. We have recently reported that Nucling regulates the apoptotic pathway by controlling the activation of NF-kappa B as well. Here we show that hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) arising spontaneously against a background of hepatitis occurred more frequently in Nucling-knockout (KO) mice than wild-type (WT) mice. Biochemical serum testing revealed potential liver dysfunction with hypercholesterolemia in Nucling-KO mates. In the background of Nucling-KO mice, we observed the up-regulation of TNF alpha, spontaneous NF-kappa B-activation and the induction of galectin-3 expression in liver. In addition, we observed a decrease in the number of Kupffer cells (KCs) in the KO mice. KCs are important for the hepatic immune system, acting as phagocytes or antigen-presenting cells (APCs). We found that KCs in Nucling-KO mice were apoptotic possibly through the up-regulation of TNF alpha. These observations indicate that Nucling is important for the regulation of NF-kappa B signals in liver. We propose that Nucling deficiency could be a powerful tool to reveal the NF-kappa B-related molecular networks leading to hepatitis and HCC development.
