Figure Lengend Snippet: The effects of the miR-873 inhibitor on the damage to DA neurons in the substantia nigra pars compacta in a LPS-induced rat model of PD. The animals were transfected with the miR-873 sponge 3 days before LPS treatment or 8 and 16 days after LPS treatment (a). The damage to DA neurons following LPS treatment was detected by immunohistochemistry staining ( n = 5) (b). The reduction in the tyrosine hydroxylase- (TH-) positive cells on the lesioned side was attenuated in the rats transfected with the miR-873 sponge 3 days before LPS treatment or 8 days after LPS injection, compared with LPS treatment alone (c). The accumulation of α -synuclein in DA neurons was examined by fluorescence immunohistochemistry ( n = 5) (d and e). The number of apomorphine-induced rotations following LPS treatment was decreased in the rats treated with the miR-873 sponge compared with the rats treated with LPS alone ( n = 10) (f). The mRNA levels of miR-873 were increased by LPS treatment, compared with the control ( n = 5) (g). Transfection of the miR-873 sponge attenuated the inhibition of the mRNA levels of ABCA1 (h) and A20 (i) following LPS treatment. The data are expressed as the mean ± S.D.; ∗ p < 0.05, ∗∗ p < 0.01, and ∗∗∗ p < 0.001 compared with the controls.

Figure Lengend Snippet: The downregulation of ABCA1 by LPS via miR-873 in human glioblastoma U251 cells. The pre-miR-873 mRNA level was increased 4 h to 8 h after LPS treatment and returned to the control levels by 12 h (a); additionally, the miR-873 mRNA level was increased after LPS treatment for 12 h (b). The induction of miR-873 following LPS treatment for 24 h was eliminated by a TLR4 inhibitor (CLI-095) and a MyD88 inhibitor (ST2825) (c). The mRNA level of ABCA1 was increased 4 h after LPS treatment, but a significant decrease in ABCA1 was observed from 12 h to 24 h (d). The protein level of ABCA1 was reduced after LPS treatment for 24 h (e). Transfection of the miR-873 sponge decreased the mRNA levels of miR-873 (f). Transfection of the miR-873 sponge eliminated the increase in the ABCA1 mRNA levels 24 h after LPS treatment (g). The reduction in the ABCA1 levels was eliminated by a TLR4 inhibitor (CLI-095) and a MyD88 inhibitor (ST2825) following LPS treatment for 24 h (H). The data are expressed as the mean ± S.E.M.; n = 3, ∗ p < 0.05, ∗∗ p < 0.01, and ∗∗∗ p < 0.001 compared with the respective controls.

Figure Lengend Snippet: ABCA1 expression and methylation level in IOSE cells and ovarian cancer cell lines. (A) Total RNA was isolated from ovarian cells and converted into cDNA for amplification with specific primers for ABCA1 . The relative level of expression after quantitative real-time RT-PCR was compared to IOSE cells (set as one fold). Each bar represents mean ± SD. (B) CP70 cells were treated with TSA (0.5 μM, 12 h), GSK343 (1 μM, 3 days), or 5aza (0.5 μM, 3 days). The expression level of ABCA1 was determined by RT-PCR. Treatment of 5aza, but not TSA or GSK, resulted in robust re-expression of ABCA1 in CP70 cells. Each bar represents mean ± SD. (C) The methylation status of the ABCA1 promoter and TSS region was analyzed by bisulfite pyro-sequencing from −90 to +190 (black line underneath). The upper panel shows the ABCA1 promoter and TSS region and the corresponding CpG sites (vertical bar), and the lower panel illustrates DNA methylation at the interrogated CpG site (circle) in IOSE cells, two NOSE samples, and ovarian cancer cell lines with intensity of gray color indicating methylation level.

Figure Lengend Snippet: Effects of ABCA1 knockdown on cholesterol level and ovarian cancer growth in vivo . The cholesterol level of ABCA1 knockdown (A) MCP3 and (B) HeyC2 cells was measured by cholesterol quantitation assay. (C) The effect of ABCA1 knockdown on tumor growth in vivo was determined by the nude mice model. HeyC2 cells stably infected with shABCA1 (red arrow) or shGFP (green arrow) were injected subcutaneously into athymic nude mice. One week later, tumor volumes were measured daily. From day 19, the volume of tumors with ABCA1 knockdown was significantly reduced as compared to vector controls (* P < 0.05; ** P < 0.005). Data were expressed as mean ± SD ( n = 3).

Figure Lengend Snippet: Association between ABCA1 methylation and tumor progression. Dot plot showing the association between ABCA1 methylation in different (A) stages and (B) grades in 76 ovarian cancer patient samples. Methylation of ABCA1 was determined by bisulfite pyro-sequencing. Low stage and low grade represented FIGO I and II and grade 1–2, respectively. While high stage and high grade represented FIGO III and IV and grade 3, respectively. * P < 0.05 by the Mann-Whitney U test. Kaplan-Meier analysis of ABCA1 methylation for (C) progression-free survival and (D) overall survival in 76 ovarian cancer patient samples is shown. Patients were grouped according to methylation of ABCA1 of 3%, which is based on the methylation level of IOSE cells. Patients with “high” ABCA1 methylation (>3% methylation) have significant shorter overall survival ( P = 0.019) but not progression-free survival than patients with “low” ABCA1 methylation. Log-rank P values are shown.

Figure Lengend Snippet: Association between expression of ABCA1 and survival in ovarian cancer patients. Expression of ABCA1 in 55 ovarian cancer patient samples was determined by IHC in tissue microarray. (A) Representative image of ovarian cancer showing high (left panel) and low (right panel) ABCA1 expression on the cell membrane or cytoplasm (×400). (B) Kaplan-Meier analysis found that patients with low ABCA1 expression have shorter progression-free survival than patients with high ABCA1 expression ( P = 0.038). (C) Similar results can be observed in TCGA ovarian cancer RNA-Seq dataset that patients with low expression of ABCA1 are associated with shorter overall survival ( P = 0.0008). Log-rank P values are shown.
