ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate the effects of emodin on the migration and invasion ability and expressions of E-cadherin and Slug of human hepatoma cell lines HepG2; To discuss the possible mechanisms of anti-hepatocellular carcinoma.Methods HepG2 cells were cultured in vitro. The experimental group was treated with emodin at concentrations of 10μmol/L and 20μmol/L as. The negative control group was treated with the same volume of RPMI-1640 medium, while the positive control group was treated with 10μmol/L floxuridine. The cell matrix adhesion assay, wound healing and transwell chamber in vitro invasion assay were used to observe the effects of emodin on HepG2 cell adhesion rate and migration and invasion ability. Western blot analysis was used to observe the changes of expressions of E-cadherin and Slug.Results Compared with the negative control group, emodin inhibited significantly HepG2 cell adhesion rate and migration and invasion ability were in a dose-dependent manner (P<0.05,P<0.01); Western blot analysis showed that the protein expression of E-cadherin increased significantly, and the level of Slug decreased significantly in a dose-dependent manner (P<0.05,P<0.01).Conclusion Emodin can significantly inhibit migration and invasion of HepG2 cells, which mechanism may up-regulate expressions of E-cadherin and down-regulate Slug.
ABSTRACT
Objective To study the expression of p27kip1 and Ki67 proteins in various types of gastric polyp and the relationship be-tween gastric polyp and gastric carcinoma (CA:). Methods The expression of p27kip1 and Ki67 proteins were detected in normal gastric mu-cosa, hyperplasie polyp, adenomatons polyp, and carcinoma by S-P immunohistochemical staining. Results In the normal gastric mucosa,hyperplasie polyp, adenomatous polyp and gastric carcinoma, the expression rate of the p27kip1 protein was 90. 00% ,70. 00% ,65.00% and 30. 43%, respectively. The positive rate of p27kip1 protein in gastric cancer was significantly lower than that in other tissues. The rate of Ki67 protein expression in those tissues was 10. 00%, 15.00%, 45.00%, and 73.33%, respectively. The positive rate of Ki67 protein in gastric cancer was significantly higher than that in other tissues. And the positive rate of Ki67 in adenomatous polyp was significantly higher than that in the normal gnstric mucosa and hyperplasic polyp. There were significant differences among them(P <0.05). There was no correlation between the expression of p27kip1 and Ki67 proteins in gastric polyp(rs=-0. 093, P >0. 05). Conclusion Detection of p27kip1 and Ki67 proteins in gastric polyp was very helpful in early diagnosis and prognosis of GC.
ABSTRACT
Objective To observe the expression of S100β protein in the traumatic brain injury and investigate its relation to the severity of the TBI patients.Methods To collect 30 volunteer controls,30 patients with traumatic brain injury and 30 patients with trauma expect traumatic brain injury.according Glasgow Coma Scale(GCS),TBI patients were divided into tow groups,the minor group is GCS≥8,the severegroup is GCS<8.ELISA method was used for observing the expression of S100β protein in serum from the controls and patients.Results Within 6 hours after TBI,the concentration of S100β protein increased higher in patients of TBI than the others(P<0.05).The concentration of S100β protein increased higher in the severe group(GCS<8)than the minor group(P<0.05).The higher level of seium S100β protein,the more severe of TBI patients,the higher level of serum S100β protein.Conclusion The serums S100β protein can be a special index for the early diagnosis of TBI,the higher level of it,The more severe of patients.
