[Objective]To analysis of proteins interacting with protein kinase C-δ in the apoptosis induced by hyperthermia of oral tongue squamous cell carcinoma Tca8113cells.[Methods](1) Tca8113cells were cultured and induced apoptosis with water bath heating at43℃80min.(2) Thermotolerant Tca8113cells were got with gradient heating technology.(3) Tca8113cells were stained with propidium iodide and followed analysis through flow cytometry. Sub-G0/G1phase was considered as apoptosis peak and the apoptotic rate was measured.(4) The expression and translocation of PKC-8was observed with En Vision immunocytochemistry staining.(5) Activation of PKC-δ was analyzed with Western blot.(6) Those proteins interacting with the protein kinase C-δ were analyzed with co-immunoprecipitation coupled mass spectrometry. The proteins promoting or inhibiting apoptosis in interaction with PKC-δ were screened and put into STRINGD Database(http://string.embl.de/) to retrieve their relationship with the PKC-δ.(7) Statistical analysis of differences between the groups were tested with one-way ANOVA (SPSS11.0). The values were two-sided and statistical significant difference was defined as P<0.05.[Results](1)Thermotolerant Tca8113cells (TT-Tca8113) were got with gradient heating technology. Flow cytometry measurement showed that the apoptosis rate of Tca8113cells was (40.10±6.86)%and TT-Tca8113was (18.03±3.23)%(P<0.05). PKC-δ was found in Tca8113cells and it is mainly distributed in the cytoplasm and perinuclear. The PKC-δ was translocated to nuclear in Tca8113cells but not in TT-Tca8113cells after hyperthermia induction. The Western blot analysis showed that the PKC-δ in Tca8113cells was fragmented but not in TT-Tca8113cells after hyperthermia induction.(2) With co-immunoprecipitation coupled mass spectrometry,39following proteins were screened which may promote apoptosis in interaction with the PKC-δ:TNRC6B〠MINAã€HLCSã€ZNF12ã€LGALS8ã€POLR3Eã€S100A9ã€FAM115Aã€TNRã€ACTB〠TTNã€ITSN1ã€TCEB3ã€KIAA0776ã€LYZã€THAP2ã€CTNNA1ã€102kDaã€RECQL5〠PTCHD2ã€P2RX5ã€HSD17B10ã€PMS1ã€ZNF746ã€PRRT2ã€TRAPPC3ã€CEP290〠ARFGAP1ã€FLNCã€IPPKã€TUBB2Cã€DNAH2ã€LMNB2ã€MGC3032ã€FLJ22374〠C3orf63ã€WDR42Aã€KIAA0467ã€cDNA FLJ59573.32C21orf88. These proteins include cell proliferation-related proteins, apoptosis-related proteins, signal transduction related proteins, cytoskeleton proteins, transcription factors, protease, intracellular transport proteins and some others.16following proteins were screened which may inhibit apoptosis in interaction with the PKC-δ:HSPA9ã€CDK2ã€PCMT1ã€Poly (ADP-ribose)〠Polymerase PARP1ã€Cytoskeletal calmodulin and Titin OBSCN Ribosomal protein L11ã€L22and some others. Some of the proteins have been confirmed to be associated with PKC-δ directly or indirectlyby STRING database retrieval analysis. Such as ACTBã€LMNB2ã€or PARP1has direct interaction with PKC-δ. P2RX5ã€CTNNA1〠HSPA9ã€ZNF12ã€BANF1ã€CDK2ã€PSMD1ã€TTNã€OBSCNã€HBB or ALDOA has indirect interaction with PKC-δ through ACTBã€LMNB2or PARP1.[Conclusion]PKC-δ plays an important role in the hyperthermia-induced Tca8113cells apoptosis and its function and regulation involves a variety of other proteins. |
