ABSTRACT
Objective@#To investigate the role of enolase 1 (ENO1) in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) and possible mechanism.@*Methods@#Real-time PCR and Western blot were used to measure the expression of ENO1 in HCC tissue, adjacent tissue, hepatoma cells, and normal hepatocytes. The siRNA interference technique was used for ENO1 knockout in HepG2 cells, and then CCK-8, colony formation assay, and transwell assay were used to measure the proliferation, migration, and invasion abilities of HepG2 cells. Real-time PCR and Western blot were used to measure the expression of proteins and genes involved in the activation of the Notch signaling pathway. The two-independent-samples t test and a one-way analysis of variance were used for comparison.@*Results@#HCC tissue and HepG2 cells had significantly higher expression of ENO1 than adjacent tissue and normal hepatocytes (P < 0.05). There were significant reductions in the proliferation, migration, and invasion abilities of HepG2 cells after siRNA interference (P < 0.05). There were also significant reductions in the expression of N1ICD, snail, slug, HEY1, HES1, and HES5 (P < 0.05).@*Conclusion@#ENO1 may promote the development of HCC, possibly by participating in the regulation of the Notch signaling pathway.
ABSTRACT
AIM: To explore the effect of pyrrolidine dithiocarbamate (PDTC), an NF-κB inhibitor, on the proliferation and apoptosis of human multiple myeloma U266 cells and its mechanisms.METHODS: The U266 cells were treated with PDTC at different concentrations (0, 25, 50, 100 and 200 μmol/L) in vitro.The growth inhibitory rate of the U266 cells was detected by CCK-8 assay and cell counting.The cell cycle of the U266 cells was determined by flow cyto-metry, and the apoptosis was examined by flow cytometry with Annexin V-FITC/PI staining.The effect of PDTC on the expression of DNA methyltransferase 1 (DNMT1) at mRNA and protein levels was measured by RT-qPCR and Western blot, respectively.The effects of PDTC on the protein levels of NF-κB (P65), DNMT1, Bcl-2, cyclin D1, cleaved caspase-3 and cleaved caspase-8 were determined by Western blot.RESULTS: The protein level of NF-κB (P65) was decreased after treatment with PDTC for 48 h or 72 h.PDTC inhibited the proliferation of U266 cells in both dose-and time-dependent manners.After treatment with PDTC for 48 h, the percentage of U266 cells in G2 phase increased compared with control group (P<0.05).PDTC induced the apoptosis of U266 cells in a dose-dependent manner.The expression of DNMT1 at mRNA and protein levels decreased (P<0.05).The results of Western blot showed that the expression of Bcl-2 in PDTC groups decreased, while the protein levels of cyclin D1, cleaved caspase-3 and cleaved caspase-8 were higher than those in control group (P<0.05).CONCLUSION: The NF-κB inhibitor PDTC inhibits the proliferation of U266 cells by inducing cell apoptosis.It may be related to the down-regulated expression of DNMT1, cell cycle arrest and activation of the apoptotic pathways.
ABSTRACT
With development of medical imaging,traditional picture has been replaced by digital information.To apply information-based education to medical imaging and enhance the teaching quality,the article explored the teaching methods of information-based education.
ABSTRACT
With development of medical imaging,especial the wide application of CT,MRI and so on,traditional education method can not meet the needs of the intern-clinical students.Fairly satisfying teaching effects has been achieved for the effective combination of traditional teaching methods with net-work educational method.
ABSTRACT
Aim To study the analgesic action of oxysophoridine and its effect on the expression of protein kinase C?(PKC?) in dorsal horn of spinal cord(it should be expressed as in dorsal horn of the spinal),cerebral cortex and thalamus of the mice.Methods Hot plate test was used to observe and analyze the analgesic strength and action position of OSR through iv and icv approaches,immunohistochemistry(SABC) was taken to inspect the expression of PKC? in dorsal horn of spinal cord(it should be expressed as in dorsal horn of the spinal),cerebral cortex and thalamus of the mice after administrating OSR.Results The foot-licking latencies of mice were prolonged both iv OSR(500、250、125 mg?kg-1)and icv OSR(100,50,25 mg?kg-1)in the hot plate test(P
