Aminolevulinic acid and hexyl-aminolevulinate serve as biological precursors to produce photosensitive porphyrins in cells via the heme biosynthetic pathway. This pathway is integral to porphyrin-based photodynamic diagnosis and therapy. By adding exogenous hexyl-aminolevulinate to rat bladder cancer cells (AY27, in vitro) and an animal bladder cancer model (in vivo), fluorescent endogenous porphyrin production was stimulated. Lipophilic protoporphyrin IX was identified as the dominant species by reverse high-pressure liquid chromatography. Subcellular porphyrin localization in the AY27 cells was evaluated by confocal laser scanning microscopy and showed almost quantitative bleaching after 20 s. From this study, we ascertained that the protocol described herein is suitable for hexyl-aminolevulinate-mediated photodynamic therapy and diagnosis when protoporphyrin IX is the active agent.

AbstractBladder cancer is one of the most commonly diagnosed malignant tumors in the urinary system and causes a massive cancer-related death. DEPDC1B is a DEP domain-containing protein that has been found to be associated with a variety of human cancers. This study aimed to explore the role and mechanism of DEPDC1B in the development of bladder cancer. The analysis of clinical specimens revealed the upregulated expression of DEPDC1B in bladder cancer, which was positively related to tumor grade. In vitro and in vivo studies showed that DEPDC1B knockdown could inhibit the growth of bladder cancer cells or xenografts in mice. The suppression of bladder cancer by DEPDC1B was executed through inhibiting cell proliferation, cell migration, and promoting cell apoptosis. Moreover, a mechanistic study found that SHC1 may be an important route through which DEPDC1B regulates the development of bladder cancer. Knockdown of SHC1 in DEPDC1B-overexpressed cancer cells could abolish the promotion effects induced by DEPDC1B. In conclusion, DEPDC1B was identified as a key regulator in the development of bladder cancer, which may be used as a potential therapeutic target in the treatment of bladder cancer.

Abstract Background Bladder cancer is the most common human urological malignancies with poor prognosis, and the pathophysiology of bladder cancer involves multi-linkages of regulatory networks in the bladder cancer cells. Recently, the long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) have been extensively studied for their role on bladder cancer progression. In this study, we evaluated the expression of DLX6 Antisense RNA 1 (DLX6-AS1) in the cancerous bladder tissues and studied the possible mechanisms of DLX6-AS1 in regulating bladder cancer progression. Methods Gene expression was determined by qRT-PCR; protein expression levels were evaluated by western blot assay; in vitro functional assays were used to determine cell proliferation, invasion and migration; nude mice were used to establish the tumor xenograft model. Results Our results showed the up-regulation of DLX6-AS1 in cancerous bladder cancer tissues and bladder cell lines, and high expression of DLX6-AS1 was correlated with advance TNM stage, lymphatic node metastasis and distant metastasis. The in vitro experimental data showed that DLX6-AS1 overexpression promoted bladder cancer cell growth, proliferation, invasion, migration and epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EMT); while DLX6-AS1 inhibition exerted tumor suppressive actions on bladder cancer cells. Further results showed that DLX6-AS1 overexpression increased the activity of Wnt/β-catenin signaling, and the oncogenic role of DLX6-AS1 in bladder cancer cells was abolished by the presence of XAV939. On the other hand, DLX6-AS1 knockdown suppressed the activity of Wnt/β-catenin signaling, and the tumor-suppressive effects of DLX6-AS1 knockdown partially attenuated by lithium chloride and SB-216763 pretreatment. The in vivo tumor growth study showed that DLX6-AS1 knockdown suppressed tumor growth of T24 cells and suppressed EMT and Wnt/β-catenin signaling in the tumor tissues. Conclusion Collectively, the present study for the first time identified the up-regulation of DLX6-AS1 in clinical bladder cancer tissues and in bladder cancer cell lines. The results from in vitro and in vivo assays implied that DLX6-AS1 exerted enhanced effects on bladder cancer cell proliferation, invasion and migration partly via modulating EMT and the activity of Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway.
