ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate the role of APRIL in SW480 cell line.Methods The CRC model was established in the nude mice,all the mice were divided into 3 groups,the mice were separately treated with APRIL siRNA,pGC-vector and PBS solution.The APRIL mRNA was detected by RT-PCR and the APRIL protein was surveyed by the way of immunohis-tochemistry (IHC).The proteins of TIMP-3,Syndecan-1and MMP-9 also were assessed by IHC.Results ①Tumor mass in the group of nude mice injected with PBS (2.15±0.30 g)was significantly higher than the injection APRIL siRNA group (0.95±0.15 g,P0.05)compared with the injection of empty vector group (2.20±0.25 g).②APRIL mRNA/18S rRNA ratio (2.48±0.25)in the group of mice injected with PBS was signifi-cantly higher than the injection APRIL siRNA group (0.39±0.15,P0.05)compared with the injection of empty vector group (2.51±0.30).③SW480 cells injected with APRIL siRNA signifi-cantly inhibited invasion and metastasis.TIMP-3 Allred scores in three groups were 7.70±0.35,1.10±0.16 and 1.15± 0.12,Syndecan-1 protein was 7.80±0.30,1.05±0.20 and 1.10±0.22 MMP-9 protein was 1.20 ±0.10,8.00±0.25 and 8.20±0.20,respectively.Conlusion APRIL was closely connected with the growth and metabasis of CRC.
ABSTRACT
Biopartitioning micellar chromatography (BMC) is a potentially high throughput and low cost alternative for in vitro prediction of drug absorption, which can mimic the drug partitioning process in biological systems. In this paper, a data set of 56 compounds representing acidic, basic, neutral and amphoteric drugs from various structure classes with human oral absorption (HOA) data available were employed to show the effect of acidity of drugs in oral absorption prediction. HOA was reciprocally correlated to the negative value of the capacity factor (kBMC) determined by BMC at pH 7.4 and 6.5. The relationships between kBMC and the corresponding HOA values of all compounds were rather poor, but the correlations were improved when the acidity of drugs was taken into consideration. Moreover, the proposed models allowed obtaining of good predictive values for both highly and poorly absorbed compounds. It is demonstrated that the constructed models derived from compounds with the same kind of charge property are of more practically meaningful and rigorous.
ABSTRACT
Objective:To explore the effect of Leptin on the apoptosis of thymocytes induced by lipopolysaccharide(LPS) in mice.Methods:The toxicity of LPS on thymocytes was evaluated using MTT colorimetric assay.Thymocytes apoptosis was detected using Annexin V-FITC/PI double staining flow cytometry.caspase3 mRNA were measured by RT-PCR.Results:After cultured for 6 h,apoptosis of thymocytes was identified by flow cytometry.Apoptosis rate in LPS group (55.12?0.656)% was significantly higher than that in control group (9.58?0.605)% (P
