ABSTRACT
Objective To explore the effect of dendrobium nobile polysaccharides on the expression of the WT 1 gene in my-eloid leukemia cells.Methods The CCK8 assay was used to detect the half maximal inhibitory concentration(IC50 )of dendrobium nobile polysaccharides in 3 kinds of leukemia cells;the each kind of leukemia cells were divided into the treatment group and the control group.The cells in the control group maintained the normal growth,while which in the treatment group were given the den-drobium nobile polysaccharides stimulation.The Hoechst33258 staining was used to detect the apoptosis situation of the cells in the two groups.The WT l gene expression level was detected by the real-time PCR and the protein expression levels of WT1,53 and BAX were detect the Western blot.Results Dendrobium nobile polysaccharides had the similar IC50 values in 3 kinds of myeloid leukemia cells,which were (110.71±6.49),(104±48.50),(96.66±5.10)mg/mL respectively,the difference among them had no statistical significance (P >0.05);the apoptosis rate of the treatment group was higher than that of the control group (P <0.05);the expression levels of WT1 gene and protein in the treatment group were decreased compared with the control group(P <0.05), while the expression of P53 and BAX protein was increased.Conclusion Dendrobium nobile polysaccharides can obviously decrease the expression level of WT1 protein,and has a certain killing effect on myeloid leukemia cells.
ABSTRACT
AIM:To investigate the activity of NF-?B in peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) from patients with Graves disease (GD) and the significance in immunopathogenesis of GD.METHODS:Peripheral blood was collected from 22 untreated GD,20 treated GD with tapazole more than 1 year,and 25 healthy volunteers. PBMCs were isolated from the blood by histopaque-1077 density-gradient centrifugation. The activity of NF-?B in PBMCs was analyzed using gel electrophoretic mobility shift assay (EMSA). The contents of IL-1?,IL-6 and TNF-? were tested by radioimmunoassay.RESULTS:The activity of NF-?B in PBMCs of untreated GD group was increased remarkably,compared with that in the treated group and control (P
