ABSTRACT
Objective:To investigate the effect of polypeptide N-acetylgalactosaminaminyltransferase 2 (GALNT2) on the proliferation and apoptosis of human retinal vascular endothelial cells (HRCECs) cultured in high glucose and its possible mechanism.Methods:The small hairpin RNA (shRNA) targeting GALNT2 gene was constructed to interfere with the lentiviral vector and infect HRCECs.HRCECs were divided into blank control group, model group, NC-shGALNT2 group and shGALNT2 group, which were cultured in medium containing 5.5 mmol/L glucose, 25 mmol/L glucose, shGALNT2 negative control virus 25 mmol/L glucose and shGALNT2 knockdown virus 25 mmol/L glucose for 24 hours, respectively.The relative expression of GALNT2 mRNA in the four groups was detected by real-time fluorescence quantitative PCR.The relative expression levels of GALNT2, epidermal growth factor (EGF), EGF receptor (EGFR) and phosphorylated EGFR (p-EGFR) were detected by Western blot.The proliferative values of HRCECs were detected by cell counting kit-8 method.The apoptosis rate of different groups was detected by flow cytometry. Results:The relative expression levels of GALNT2 mRNA and protein were significantly higher in model group than in blank control group, and were significantly lower in shGALNT2 group than in blank control group (all at P<0.05). The cell proliferation value was significantly lower in model group than in blank control group, and was significantly higher in shGALNT2 than in model group and NC-shGALNT2 group (all at P<0.05). The apoptosis rates of blank control group, model group, NC-shGALNT2 group and shGALNT2 group were (4.73±0.26)%, (8.66±0.25)%, (9.26±1.12)% and (5.47±0.18)%, respectively, with a significant overall difference ( F=342.921, P<0.001). The apoptosis rate was significantly higher in model group than in blank control group, and was significantly lower in shGALNT2 group than in model group and NC-shGALNT2 group (all at P<0.05). The relative expression level of EGFR protein was significantly higher and the relative expression level of p-EGFR protein was significantly lower in model group than in blank control group (all at P<0.05). The relative expression of p-EGFR protein was significantly higher in shGALNT2 group than in model group (all at P<0.05). Conclusions:Knocking down GALNT2 can improve the proliferative ability of HRCECs under high glucose culture and reduce apoptosis, which may be related to the activation of EGFR signaling pathway.
ABSTRACT
Thyroid cancer is a common malignant tumor of the head and neck and endocrine system, characterized by high morbidity and low mortality. The main clinical challenge is the treatment of patients with advanced or high-risk thyroid cancer. At present, the study on the molecular pathogenesis of thyroid cancer provide new opportunities for thyroid cancer, including chemotherapy, molecular targeted therapy and immunotherapy.
ABSTRACT
Objective: To optimize the preparation technique for bifonazole suppositories and evaluate the quality.Methods: The appearance, hardness and melting time of suppositories were used as the evaluation indices to optimize the process conditions, such as suppository matrix, drug particle size, injection molding temperature and stirring conditions, etc.The content of bifonazole was determined by HPLC.Results: The best formula was as follows: the matrix was multiplicated monofatty glyceride-36, bifonazole was sieved by 100 mesh sieve and the best molding temperature was 45 ℃.The quality of the prepared suppositories with the above conditions was controllable in the appearance, melting time limit, hardness and content determination, etc.Conclusion: The formula of bifonazole suppositories is reasonable, the preparation process is feasible, and the quality control methods are reliable.
