ABSTRACT
Objective To study the mechanism of RING finger protein 34 ( RNF34 ) involved in innate immunity . Methods Recombinant PCR was used and transient expression of the plasmid was achieved in HEK 293T cells.The cells were stimulated with Sendai virus ( SeV) or N-RIG-Ⅰfor the indicated time while luciferase activity was observed using the dual-luciferase reporter assay kit .Results We constructed the plasmid pcDNA 3-Flag-RNF34 and its three mutations .The study found that when stimulated by SeV , RNF34 could inhibit the activity of NF-κB and IFN-βmore significantly than RNF34-ΔFYVE, RNF34-ΔCID and RNF34-ΔRING.We also found that RNF 34 and its three mutants had similar inhibitory effect when the activation of NF-κB and IFN-βwas stimulated by the N-RIG-Ⅰ.Conclusion RNF34 negatively regulates innate immunity by acting on the RIG-Ⅰ-MAVS signaling pathway .
ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate the effect of BTB/POZ ( broad complex, tramtrack and bric a brac/poxviruses and zinc finger) on proliferation of breast cancer cell lines.Methods The eukaryotic expression plasmid pCMV-HA-BPOZ was constructed by cloning from cDNA of human genome.Western blotting was used to detect the expression of pCMV-HA-BPOZ.Cells growth assay was used to detect the effect of BPOZ on proliferation and colony formation assay was used to detect the effect of BPOZ on cell growth ability.Results Western blotting showed that HA-BPOZ was efficiently expressed in cells.Moreover, the growth ability and proliferation of cells were significantly inhibited in BPOZ overexpressed cells compared with the control cells (both P <0.05).Conclusionp CMV-HA-BPOZ plasmid is constructed.BPOZ can restrain breast cancer cell lines MCF7 and ZR-75-1 cells from proliferating and growing.The results of our study can con-tribute to the study of functions of BPOZ in breast cancer.
ABSTRACT
Objective To study the surgical managements for obstructive coleratal carcinoma(OCRC).(Methods) Clinical data of 126 patients with OCRC who underwent surgical treatment between January 1995 and December 2004 were reviewed.Results Thirty-five patients received one-stage right hemicolectomy,ten patients received one-stage resection of transverse colon.forty-eight patients received one-stage left(hemicolectomy),eighteen patients received one-stage resection of left colon or proximal rectum with colostomy followed by two-staged anastomosis.For 15 patients with unresectable lesions,colostomy of transverse colon or sigmoid colon was performed.Seventeen patients(13.5%) experienced postoperative complications.The (operative) mortality was 4.8%(6/126).The 1-year,3-year and 5-year overall survival rate was(95.1)%,52.7% and 38.1%,respectively.Conclusions Proper perioperative period managements and(selection) of surgical techniques are important for better results and lower complications in the treatment OCRC.
