Research Progress on Pathogenic Factors of Breast Cancer Combined with Thyroid Cancer / 肿瘤防治研究

Thyroid cancer and breast cancer are two of the most common malignant tumors in women. Concurrent tumors of the thyroid and breast are relatively rare in clinical practice; however, the incidence of such dual malignancies has recently increased. Researches conducted in the past mainly focused on the possible increase in the incidence of contralateral breast cancer, while the increased risk of synchronized thyroid cancer in women with breast cancer has attracted widespread attention recently. The specific mechanism has not been fully understood. This article reviews the pathogenic factors between these two diseases, and evaluates the etiological role of these factors in these double primary cancers, so as to provide a better basis for clinical practice.

Screening of small molecule inhibitors for PLK1 PBD and evaluation of antitumor activities / 药学学报

With the method of fluorescence polarization (FP), we screened small molecule inhibitors for PLK1 PBD to identify the lead compounds for antitumor drugs. FP led to the identification of a potent hit, F083-0063, whose inhibition rate was (99.7±0.4)% at 10 μg·mL-1. The IC50 was calculated to be 1.9±0.1 μmol·L-1 using Graphpad Prism 5. The effect of the compound on cells' multiplication was measured by MTT assay which showed that F083-0063 inhibited the proliferation of many tumor cell lines. Flow cytometry analysis indicated that the F083-0063 promoted cell apoptosis and induced cell G2/M arrest. Migration abilities of cells, evaluated using scratch test, increased significantly in the presence of F083-0063 with the mi-gration rate as low as (37.6±0.7)% at 20 μmol·L-1. Molecular linkage technique found F083-0063 had good affinity with PLK1 PBD. The results of Western blotting showed that the expression of cyclin-dependent proteins was increased after treatment with F083-0063. In summary, F083-0063 has an antitumor activity and is expected to be an antitumor lead compound targeting PLK1 PBD.

Double-bundle versus single-bundle anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction with allogeneic tendon via single femoral tunnel / 中国组织工程研究

BACKGROUND: The anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) is an extremely important static structure that stabilizes the structure of the knee joint. Many scholars have found that an insufficient understanding of normal anatomical structure and biological characteristics of the ACL results in poor outcomes in the ACL reconstruction. OBJECTIVE: To compare the clinical effects of single-bundle and double-bundle single-tunnel techniques in ACL reconstruction with allogeneic tendon. METHODS: (1) Anatomy research: Six fresh knee joints were used for the experiments, and X-ray, CT and MRI were taken for each sample to confirm no osteoclasia, tumor and collapse of ACL. Then the ACL was stripped from the tibial bone and used to run hematoxylin-eosin staining and observe the fiber distribution of each piece of the ACL. (2) Clinical research: A total of 40 cases of ACL arthroscopic reconstruction were involved in this study, including 19 single-bundle ones and 21 double-bundle ones. The International Knee Documentation Committee 2000 subjective knee form (IKDC2000), Tegner and Lysholm evaluations were performed in all the patients. Paired t-test was used to analyze the IKDC, Tegner and Lysholm scores before operation and at follow-up time. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: Anatomy research: From the view of anatomy, there was no evidence to support the double beams of the ACL at the tibial end by hematoxylin-eosin staining. Clinical research: Forty patients (40 knee joints) were successfully followed for over 12 months, and their joint range of motion was normal. The IKDC, Tegner and Lysholm scores were all improved in both two groups after the surgery, while the Larson scores were significantly higher in the double-bundle group than the single-bundle group. To conclude, the single-tunnel double-bundle ACL reconstruction is better to restore the knee stability than the single-bundle ACL reconstruction. This is an easy operation that has the merits of operating conveniently, restoring the normal anatomy of the tibial end, and exhibiting excellent short-term therapeutic effects. However, its long-term effects are uncertain.

Effects of ursolic acid at different concentrations on proliferation and differentiation of osteoclasts and their significances / 吉林大学学报(医学版)

Objective:To investigate the effects of ursolic acid (UA) on the proliferation and differentiation of osteoclasts (OC), and to explore its role in orthodontic force-induced root resorption and its relationship with OC.Methods:The mononuclear / macrophage cells RAW264.7 were induced to the OC.Tacrolimus acid phosphatase (TRAP) staining and bone resorption lacunae observation were used to identify the induction.CCK-8 method was used to select the appropriate concentration of UA for RAW264.7 cell-free biotoxicity and to observe its effect on the proliferation and differentiation of RAW264.7.In experimental groups, UA with gradient concentrations (1.0,2.5,5.0,10.0,20.0and 40.0 μmol·L-1)were added.UA was not added in control group.Results:The TRAP staining and bone resorption lacunae observation showed that after the RAW264.7 cells were induced for 5 d, the TRAP staining positive cells were found;the resorption lacunae were rounded,and oval, etc,the bottom wall was coarser,and the boundary was clear,which indicated that the RAW264.7 cells were successfully differentiated into the osteoclasts.The CCK-8 detection results showed that high concentration of UA (> 10.0 μmol·L-1) significantly inhibited the proliferation of OC;the appropriate concentration of UA (5.0 μmol·L-1) was in the biological safety concentration range and could inhibit the OC proliferation;low concentration of UA (<2.5 μmol·L-1) had no effect.Conclusion:RANKL can induce the differentiation and maturation of RAW264.7 cells.UA is correlated with the proliferation and differentiation of OC;UA has inhibitory effect on OC at the appropriate concentration (5.0 μmol·L-1) in a time-dependent manner.

Upregulation and biological function of transmembrane protein 119 in osteosarcoma

Osteosarcoma is suggested to be caused by genetic and molecular alterations that disrupt osteoblast differentiation. Recent studies have reported that transmembrane protein 119 (TMEM119) contributes to osteoblast differentiation and bone development. However, the level of TMEM119 expression and its roles in osteosarcoma have not yet been elucidated. In the present study, TMEM119 mRNA and protein expression was found to be up-regulated in osteosarcoma compared with normal bone cyst tissues. The level of TMEM119 protein expression was strongly associated with tumor size, clinical stage, distant metastasis and overall survival time. Moreover, gene set enrichment analysis (GSEA) of the Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) GSE42352 dataset revealed TMEM119 expression in osteosarcoma tissues to be positively correlated with cell cycle, apoptosis, metastasis and TGF-β signaling. We then knocked down TMEM119 expression in U2OS and MG63 cells using small interfering RNA, which revealed that downregulation of TMEM119 could inhibit the proliferation of osteosarcoma cells by inducing cell cycle arrest in G0/G1 phase and apoptosis. We also found that TMEM119 knockdown significantly inhibited cell migration and invasion, and decreased the expression of TGF-β pathway-related factors (BMP2, BMP7 and TGF-β). TGF-β application rescued the inhibitory effects of TMEM119 knockdown on osteosarcoma cell migration and invasion. Further in vitro experiments with a TGF-β inhibitor (SB431542) or BMP inhibitor (dorsomorphin) suggested that TMEM119 significantly promotes cell migration and invasion, partly through TGF-β/BMP signaling. In conclusion, our data support the notion that TMEM119 contributes to the proliferation, migration and invasion of osteosarcoma cells, and functions as an oncogene in osteosarcoma.

Objective:To investgate the ease effects of local injection of ursolic acid both on orthodontic tooth movement distance and tooth root resorption in the rats, and to clarify its mechanism.Methods:Ninety-six male Wistar rats were used to establish models of orthodontic tooth movement.After the successful establishment of models,all the model rats were randomly divided into 0 (control group),0.5,1.0 and 2.0 mmol·L-1 ursolic acid groups (n=24).The rats were locally injected with different doses of ursolic acid into the palatal submucosal area adjacent to the right upper first molar ,once per 3 d,each time 50μL.The rats were respectively sacrificed on the days 1,3,5,7,10,14,21 and 28,then the distances of tooth movement were measured.HE staining was used to observe the morphologic changes of the root tissue of rats.Results:The tooth movement distances of rats in control,0.5,1.0,and 2.0 mmol· L-1 ursolic acid groups were increased with the prolongation of time (P0.05),but at the other time points,the tooth movement distances of rats had statistical significance (P<0.01).The tooth movement distances of rats had statistical significance between 0.5,1.0 and 2.0 mmol·L-1 ursolic acid groups 5,7,10,14,21 and 28 d after forcing (P<0.05 or P<0.01).The morphological results showed that the resorption pits were found on the surface of tooth root with the prolongation of loading time;in addition,with the increasing of the doses of ursolic acid, the absorption of root surface was relieved. Conclusion:Local injection of ursolic acid at the doses of 0.5,1.0 and 2.0 mmol·L-1 can reduce the distance of orthodontic tooth movement in the rats, and the distance of tooth movement in the rats is reduced with the increasing of its doses,and ursolic acid has the ease effect on the orthodoutic tooth root resorption.

Pain experience during initial alignment with self-ligating and conventional brackets

The aim of this study was to compare the pain experience among orthodontic patients treated with self-ligating brackets SmartClip® (3M Unitek, Monrovia, California, USA) and conventional brackets Victory series® (3M Unitek, Monrovia, California, USA). We used a controlled clinical trial study design to compare 69 patients treated with self-ligating to 70 patients treated by conventional brackets. The nickel-titanium archwires 0.012-in were engaged after bonding both arches on the first day; and the visual analogue scale (VAS) was used to assess the pain experience of subjects for the first seven treatment days. The pre-treatment dental study models were assessed by the Little’s irregularity index to quantify the groups’ malalignment characteristics. The self-ligating brackets reported lower pain experience than the conventional group on the first five treatment days. However, the sixth day showed 1.75 mm higher visual analogue score than conventional brackets, with almost equal pain level on the seventh day. The group differences throughout the first week were neither clinically nor statistically significant. The pain experiences in both groups decreased steadily from the third treatment day to the end of the first week of treatment. Based on the study findings, the pain experience during initial alignment is not influenced by the brackets’ ligation type. The pain experience tends to decrease steadily from the third treatment day to the end of the first week of treatment irrespective of the bracket type used.

Interference of curcumin in cycle of HepG2 cells by regulating microtubule system / 中草药

Objective: To investigate the effect of curcumin (Cur) on cycle in HepG2 cells and the action of microtubule system for it. Methods: The proliferation inhibition of Cur on HepG2 cells was evaluated by MTT assay; The effect of Cur on the cycle of HepG2 cells was analyzed by flow cytometry; Confocal laser scanning microscopy (CLSM) was used to observe the changes of microtubule in HepG2 cells after treated with Cur; Western blotting was performed to determine the expression of α-tubulin; The in vitro effects of Cur on tubulin polymerization and depolymerization activities were studied. Results: Cur inhibited the proliferation of HepG2 cells in a dose- and time-dependent manner. With Cur concentration increasing, the proportion of HepG2 cells arrested in G2/M phase was also increased. CLSM showed that Cur could seriously destroy the cell microtubule structure and change the polymerization state of tubulin. Western blotting showed that the decrease of the expression level of α-tubulin was related to Cur concentration. Cur could also interfere the microtubule polymerization and depolymerization activities. Conclusion: Cur could inhibit the proliferation of HepG2 cells by destroying the microtubule structure and downregulating the expression of α-tubulin, and make HepG2 cells arrested in G2/M phase.

Utility of high throughput sequencing technology in analyzing the terminal sequence of caudovirales bacteriophage genome / 病毒学报

To confirm the hypothesis that the high frequency sequences of high throughput sequencing are the terminal sequences of the bacteriophage genome. An adaptor of specific sequence was linked to the end of the bacteriophage T3 genomic DNA, which was then subject to high throughput sequencing; as a control, the same T3 genomic DNA without adaptor was also analyzed by high throughput sequencing. The sequencing results were examined with bioinformatics software. Similar high throughput sequencing technique was applied to analyze the genomic sequence of N4-like bacteriophage IME11. Bioinformatics study showed that the sequences tagged with adaptors were consistent with the high frequency sequences without adaptor labeling. Our analysis also indicated that the end of the T4-like phage genome had specific sequences instead of random sequences, disagreeing with the previous assertion. Evidences were provided that N4-like bacteriophage had a particular terminal sequence: the left end of the genome was unique while the right end was permuted. The high throughput sequencing technique was convenient and practical to be used to simultaneously detect the terminal sequence and the complete sequence of bacteriophage genome.
