ABSTRACT
Cerebral arteriovenous malformation is a common cerebrovascular disease.Its exact pathogenesis remains unclear.At present,it is thought that this disease is caused by kinds of factors,including congenital and acquired factors.
ABSTRACT
Fragile histidine triad(FHIT) gene is a tumor suppressor gene that locates on chromosome 3p14.2.FHIT can induce cell apoptosis and inhibit cell growth by activating caspase,inhibiting PI3K-Akt-survivin signal pathway and phosphorylation of I?B-?,and binding with microtube.The inactivation of FHIT is closely related with carcinogenesis.The advances in research on the structure,biological function,relationship between inactivation and carcinogenesis,and gene therapy of FHIT are reviewed in this paper.
ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate the effects of exogenous fragile histidine triad(FHIT) gene on apoptosis of human glioma cell line U87. Methods By the method of liposome transfection,plasmids pcDNA3.1/myc-His(-)B-FHIT and pcDNA3.1/myc-His(-)B were transfected into glioma cell line U87.U87 cells were divided into three groups: U87-FHIT group,U87 cells transfected by plasmids pcDNA3.1/myc-His(-)B-FHIT;U87-vector group,U87 cells transfected by plasmids pcDNA3.1/myc-His(-)B;and blank control group,U87 cells without transfection.The expression of exogenous FHIT protein was detected by Western blot and immunofluorescence staining.The effects of FHIT on the growth characteristics of U87 were observed by MTT and flow cytometry. Results Growth inhibitory rate and apoptosis rate of the cells in U87-FHIT group were significantly higher than those in U87-vector group and blank control group(P
