Abstract:objective:to investigate the effects of exogenous wild csk-binding protein(cbp)gene stably transfection on growth of lung adencarcinoma cells in vitro. Methods:at first,a recombinant eukaryotic expression plasmid pcdna3.0-cbp was constructed. Human lung cancer cell line spc-a1 was transfected with pcdna3.0-cbp or mock transfected plasmid pcdna3.0(-)with lipofectamine 2000,and cells that can express cbp stably were screened out by g418(800 mg/l). Change of cbp protein level was measured by western-blot;cell viability was tested by mtt assay. Transwell and wound-healing methods were used to detect the difference of invasion and migration between transfected and non-transfected cells. Results:cbp protein level in pcdna3.0-cbp transfected spc-a1 cells was significantly higher than that in control spc-a1 cells and pcdna3.0 (-)transfected spc-a1 cells. The mtt assay revealed that the cbp gene transfected cells had less proliferation ability than control cells and pcdna3.0(-)transfected spc-a1 cells (p < 0.01). As compared with control cells and pcdna3.0(-)transfected spc-a1 cells,the invasion and migration ability of pcdna3.0-cbp transfected cells decreased obviously(p < 0.01). Conclusion:the cbp gene,as a recently identified transmembrane protein,can restrain malignant phenotypes of the human lung adencarcinoma in vitro and may participate in construction of negative feedback loop of sfks to inhibit lung cancer cells from growth,migration and invasion.

Abstract:objective:to compare the different features of t-cell-stimulation of dendritic-like cells (dc-like cells)induced from monocyte-macrophages derived from placentas in different gestational ages. Methods:monocyte-macrophages were separated mechanically from normal term placental tissues and second trimester placental tissues,then cultured in the transendothelial trafficking system and induced into dc-like cells. The dc-like cells were co-cultured with allogeneic t cells,in order to detect their abilities to stimulate allogeneic t cells into proliferation by cck-8 incorporation assay. Expressions of intracellular cytokines by stimulated t cells and the phenotype of dc-like cells were analyzed by facs. Results:after being cultured in the transendothelial trafficking system for 48 h,the cells which derived from the normal term placental monocyte-macrophages displayed characteristic morphology and expressed higher level surface antigen of cd80,cd86,hla-dr,and obviously stimulated the proliferation of allogeneic t cells,which could be led to a higher percentage of ifn-γ producing cells,but fewer of il-10 producing cells. However,dc-like cells,originated from second trimester placental tissues,expressed quite little levels of cd80,cd86 and hla-dr(p < 0.05)and stimulated very few allogeneic t cells to proliferation (p < 0.05). Furthermore,in the t cells stimulated by these dc-like cells ,there were small percentages of ifn-γ producing cells in cd8+ subset (p < 0.05)and large percentages of il-10 producing cells in both cd8- and cd8+ subsets. Conclusion:dc-like cells induced from monocyte-macrophages separated from different gestational ages placental tissues display functions in immunology with different biological characteristics.

Abstract:objective:to investigate the reversal effect of 4’-methylether-scutellarein(4’-m-s) on multidrug resistance in human choriocarcinoma jar/vp16 cell line. Methods:quantitative accumulation and efflux of rhodamine 123 (rh123),a p-glycoprotein(p-gp)substrate,were determined using a flow cytometric assay (fcm) for measuring p-gp function. Mdr1 mrna levels were detected by semi-quantitative reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction (rt-pcr). The expressions of p-gp were analyzed by western blot and immunohistochemistry(ihc) method. Results:the results of fcm suggested that 20 μg/ml 4’-m-s could significantly increase the intracellular accumulation of rh123 in jar/vp16 cells. Rt-pcr and western blot results revealed that the expression levels of mdr1 mrna and p-gp protein were low in 4’-m-s treated cells. The ihc study showed that mild immunostaining for p-gp was seen in jar/vp16 cells when treated with 4’-m-s. Conclusion:the reversal effect of 4’-m-s in jar/vp16 cell may be related to regulating expression of mdr1/p-gp and increaseing intracellular concentration of chemotherapeutic drugs.

Abstract:objective:to explore the profiles of hepatoma cell lines-specific gene expression and identify the differential expressed cell apoptosis inhibitory genes for exploring hepatocarcinogenesis and new therapeutic targets. Methods:the profiles of gene expression of hepatoma cell lines bel-7402,hep-3b and fetal liver cells were analyzed by gene chips. The differential expressed cell apoptosis inhibitory genes were screened. The selected candidate genes were confirmed by rt-pcr in three kinds of cell lines and by immunohistochemistry in 20 specimens of hcc and adjacent noncancerous tissues. Results:of the detected 54 614 probe sets,compared with the fetal liver cells,1 452 genes were up-regulated by more than 2 folds and 2 054 genes were down-regulated by more than 2 folds in the hepatoma cell lines bel-7402 and hep-3b,in which 12 differential expressed cell apoptosis inhibitory genes were screened. The results of rt-pcr showed that the expressions of sodd and survivin in hepatoma cell lines were higher than those in fetal liver cells (p < 0.05). The positive rates of sodd and survivin were significantly higher in hcc than in adjacent noncancerous tissues(65% vs. 15%,and 75% vs. 10%,p < 0.05). Conclusion:many cell apoptosis inhibitory genes were up-regulated in hcc,which can inhibit cancer cell apoptosis and promote cancer cell proliferation by effecting tnf pathway,bcl-2 protein expression and so on. Analysis of these genes can provide important clues for disclosing the mechanisms of hepatocellular carcinoma pathogenesis and supplying possible new therapeutic targets.

Abstract:objective:to explore the significance of matrix metalloproteinase 2(mmp2) gene in colorectal cancer with liver metastasis. Methods:during operation,the fresh specimens of primary cancer lesions,surrounding normal colorectal mucosas,hepatic metastases and surrounding normal liver tissues were collected in 21 patients who suffered from colorectal cancer with liver metastasis. The mrna and protein expression of mmp2 among these specimens were detected by sybr green real-time rt-pcr and western blot method. Results:there were significant differences of mrna expression level in these specimens among 21 cases,which was highest in hepatic metastases and lowest in surrounding normal colorectal mucosas. The protein expression in most of cases (18/21) were lower in surrounding normal colorectal mucosas than other specimens by western blot. There was no difference between primary cancer lesions and hepatic metastases,and both of them were higher than surrounding normal liver tissues among all cases. Conclusion:the overexpression of mmp2 gene in primary cancer lesions and hepatic metastases were beneficial for degrading the extracellular matrix. It might be one of molecular mechanisms in colorectal cancer liver metastasis that the expression of mmp2 mrna in hepatic metastases was higher than that of primary cancer lesions due to the up-regulation of mmp2 gene. The overexpression of mmp2 in normal liver tissues surrounding hepatic metastases might be correlated with the regeneration of hepatic metastasis.

Abstract:objective:to investigate the effect of vagus nerve on first-phase insulin secretion. Methods:five healthy beagle dogs were anesthetized and cut off anterior vagal trunk and post vagal trunk of vagal celiac trunk. Intravenous glucose tolerance test and the continuous infusion of glucose via the carotid artery were performed in five beagle dogs prior to and after truncal vagotomy. Blood samples were collected from jugular vein of opposite side each time at the 0,1,2,4,6 and 10 min to measure plasma insulin and blood glucose levels. Results:during intravenous glucose tolerance test,first-phase insulin secretion obviously dropped after truncal vagotomy compared to prior(p < 0.05). But blood glucose failed to show significant difference before and after truncal vagotomy. The continuous infusion of low dose glucose via the carotid artery failed to induce any change in vein glucose level but caused an increasing of insulin secretion. It reached the peak at 2~4 min. Insulin secretion obviously dropped after truncal vagotomy(p < 0.05). Conclusion:the central nervous system may play a role in regulating first-phase insulin secretion,which is mediated by vagus.

Abstract:objective:to evaluate the effects of tlr3 single nucleotide polymorphisms (snps) on asthma risk and asthma-related phenotypes in a southeastern chinese han population. Methods:rs3775291,a nonsynonymous snp which was located in the fourth exon of tlr3,was selected. Three hundred and eighteen unrelated adult asthmatic patients and 352 healthy volunteers from the same area of southeast china were recruited in this study. Genotyping of the selected snp was performed using multiplex pcr in conjunction with tagged array single base extension technology. We conducted case-control association studies between the selected snp in tlr3 and asthma or asthma-related phenotypes. Results:rs3775291 snps was not associated with asthma morbid risk in whole. However,ga+aa genotypes had a significant reduced risk of atopic asthma by 31% (adjusted or= 0.69,95%ci = 0.49~0.97),which showed an independent role. The carriers of ga/aa genotype appeared less nocturnal asthma symptom compared with those of gg genotype. No correlation was found between the snp and eosinophil counts,total serum ige levels or asthma severity. Conclusion:tlr3 polymorphisms may play a considerable role in the pathogenesis of atopic asthma. It could be clinically useful both for identifying patients at risk of asthma and for preventing its occurrence.

Abstract:objective:to know the anemia status of patients with cleft lip and palate,further analyze certain specific related factors with their anemia prevalence,as well as furnish evidence for prevention to anemia. Methods:346 patients with cleft lip and palate who had received operation in stomatology hospital affiliated to njmu from january 2007 to november 2008,were analyzed statistically. The changes of rbc and hgb between before restoration and after restoration of 12 patients whose operations were all conducted in this hospital were also investigated. Results:according to the deformity type and restoration level,346 patients with cleft lip and palate are divided into 4 groups:cleft lip and palate group (a),cleft lip group (b),cleft palate group (c) and after restoration group (d). The anemia prevalence rates of these groups are 43.6%,40.5%,19.7% and 17.0%,respectively. The anemia prevalence rates of group a and group b are all higher than that of group d,and the anemia prevalence rates of group c and group d have no difference statistically. After standardization of urban-rural and gender composition,the anemia prevalence rates of group a,group b and group c,are all higher than that of chinese population in a same age group. The anemia prevalence rate of patients whose cleft lip and palate have not been restored completely did not obviously depend on the urban-rural and gender differences. In all the patients with cleft lip and palate,there were 81 anemia patients. In the 81 anemia patients,there were 44 microcytic hypochromic anemia patients. In 12 patients,the values of hgb increased significantly and the average values of rbc were in normal range when they were restored completely. Conclusion:the cleft lip and palate enhance the possibility of anemia,and the main type of anemia is microcytic hypochromic anemia. Scientific feed fashion should be widely published in the family of the patients with cleft lip and palate,especially when the patients are young,and let them pay attention to iron-content food intake.
