ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVE@#To investigate whether DNMT1 protein induces retinoblastoma proliferation by silencing MEG3 gene.@*METHODS@#Two retinoblastoma cell lines (HXO-RB44 and SO-RB50) and a normal human retinal pigment epithelial (RPE) cell line were transfected with the plasmid pcDNA-DNMT1 or si-DNMT1 for up-regulating or interference of DNMT1 expression, and with pcDNA-MEG3 or si-MEG3 for up-regulating or interference of MEG3 expression. Western blotting was used to detect the changes in the expression of DNMT1 protein in the transfected cells, and CCK-8 and EdU assays were used to detect the changes in cell proliferation. Real-time quantitative PCR (qRT-PCR) was performed to detect MEG3 expression in SO-RB50 and HXO-RB44 cells after transfection, and the methylation level of MEG3 gene promoter after interference of DNMT1 expression was detected using methylation-specific PCR.@*RESULTS@#SO-RB50 and HXO-RB44 cells showed significantly increased expression of DNMT1 protein as compared with normal RPE cells ( < 0.05). In HXO-RB44 cells, transfection with pcDNADNMT1 resulted in significantly increased expression of DNMT1 protein, enhanced cell proliferation ability, and significantly reduced expression of MEG3 ( < 0.05). In SO-RB50 cells, transfection with si-DNMT1 significantly reduced the expression of DNMT1 protein, suppressed the cell proliferation, and increased MEG3 expression ( < 0.05). Interference of DNMT1 significantly reduced the methylation level of MEG3 gene promoter. After reversing the regulatory effect of DNMT1 on MEG3 gene, DNMT1 protein showed significantly weakened ability to regulate retinoblastoma cell proliferation ( < 0.05).@*CONCLUSIONS@#In retinoblastoma cells, the up-regulation of DNMT1 protein induces promoter methylation and inactivation of MEG3 gene and eventually leads to abnormal cell proliferation.

ABSTRACT

The genomic diversity of Avian leukosis virus subgroup J (ALV-J) was investigated in an experimentally infected chicken. ALV-J variants in tissues from four different organs of the same bird were re-isolated in DF-1 cells, and their gp85 gene was amplified and cloned. Ten clones from each organ were sequenced and compared with the original inoculum strain, NX0101. The minimum homology of each organ ranged from 96.7 to 97.6%, and the lowest homology between organs was only 94.9%, which was much lower than the 99.1% homology of inoculum NX0101, indicating high diversity of ALV-J, even within the same bird. The gp85 mutations from the left kidney, which contained tumors, and the right kidney, which was tumor-free, had higher non-synonymous to synonymous mutation ratios than those in the tumor-bearing liver and lungs. Additionally, the mutational sites of gp85 gene in the kidney were similar, and they differed from those in the liver and lung, implying that organ- or tissue-specific selective pressure had a greater influence on the evolution of ALV-J diversity. These results suggest that more ALV-J clones from different organs and tissues should be sequenced and compared to better understand viral evolution and molecular epidemiology in the field.

ABSTRACT

Objective To observe the hemodynamic change and stress reaction of target-con-trolled infusion (TCI)of propofol guided by Narcotrend for anesthetic induction in renal transplanta-tion patients.Methods Forty patients (25 males,1 5 females,aged 21-38 years,ASA grade Ⅲ orⅣ)undergoing related living donor kidney transplantation were randomly divided into two groups:group A and group B (n =20).Group A was induced using TCI system with propofol under the moni-toring of Narcotrend.Group B was induced with propofol manually.HR,MAP,Narcotrend index (NTI),blood glucose (Glu)and plasma cortisol (Cor)were measured before induction (T0 ),before tracheal intubation (T1 ),and 1 (T2 ),3 (T3 ),and 5 (T4 )minutes afterwards.Results HR and MAP at T1 were lower than those at T0 (P < 0.05 )in two groups,they were significantly lower in group B than in group A at corresponding points(P <0.05).HR and MAP in group B increased sig-nificantly (P <0.05)and were significantly higher than those in group A (P <0.05)at T2 and T3 . There was no obvious difference in Glu and Cor between T0 and T2-T4 in group A.Glu and Cor at T2-T4 were obviously higher than those at T0 (P <0.05)in group B and those at corresponding points in group A (P <0.05).Conclusion TCI of propofol guided by Narcotrend in renal transplantation pa-tients can better control the depth of anesthesia,attenuate the stress reaction caused by tracheal intu-bation,and keep hemodynamic smooth during anesthesia induction.

ABSTRACT

Background and purpose:Thalidomide can enhance the radiation sensitivity on tumor effectively, but the mechanism of radiosensitization is still unclear. The present study aimed to investigate whether thalidomide could enhance the radiation sensitivity on colon cancer transplanted tumor of mouse, and to investigate the underlying mechanism. Methods: We established the model of colon26 colonic carcinoma, and the mice were divided into 4 groups:Control group, the thalidomide group, the radiotherapy group and thalidomide+radiotherapy group. From the day of treatment, tumors were measured every other day. Then, the xenograft tumor growth curve was depicted. Tumor volumes were measured in different treatment groups, then, the inhibitory rates of tumor growth were calcutated. Using immunohistochemical method in to detect the expression of microvessel density (MVD) in tumor tissue. Results:The mean tumor volumes at day 22 were (4.97±1.20)cm3 (control group), (2.90±0.92)cm3 (T group), (2.66±0.88)cm3 (R group), and (1.89±0.76)cm3 (T+R group). The tumor inhibition rate in the combination group (61.9%) was signiifcantly higher than the other groups (41.7%, 46.5%, P<0.05). The radiotherapy sensitization enhancement ratio of the combined treatment group was 2.27 times than in the radiotherapy group. Thalidomide combined with radiation therapy can significantly inhibit microvessel density of tumor:The decreasing MVD of T+R group, T group and R group were respectively 46.8%, 40.7%and 37.7%, and there was statistical significance between T+R group and T group (P<0.05 ), so as between T+R group and R group. It could be found more necrotic cells in tumor of group, and there was statistical signiifcance between T+R group and control group (P<0.05). Conclusion:Thalidomide can enhance the radiosensitivity mice of colonic carcinoma, and its mechanism may be related to the inhibition of tumor angiogenesis related.

ABSTRACT

ObjectiveTo investigate baicalin effect against ultraviolet A (UVA) induced senescence in cultured human skin fibroblasts(HSF) and influence on telomere pathway. MethodsHSF were isolated from the prepuce of neonates and cultured. Subconfluent fibroblasts were classified into blank control group (without treatment), baicalin group (treated with baicalin of 50 μg/ml), UVA group (irradiated with UVA of 10 J/cm2) and UVA + baicalin group(irradiated with UVA of 10 J/cm2 and treated with baicalin of 50 μg/ml before and after the irradiation). After additional culture of various durations, flow cytometry was performed to detect cell cycle, telomere repeat amplification protocol-enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (TRAP-ELISA) to measure telomerase activity, real-time quantitative PCR to determine telomere length, mRNA levels of p53, p16 and c-myc, Western blot to examine the protein expressions of p16 and c-myc. ResultsUVA irradiation induced cell cycle arrest in G1 phase, and the percentage of HSF at G1 phase increased from 59.94% in the blankcontrol group to 81.04% in the UVA group, but was decreased to 65.55% in the UVA + baicalin group. The length of telomere in HSF in UVA group was shortened to 31.2% of that in the blank control group, but was restored to 63.9% in HSF treated with baicalin before and after the irradiation. Compared with the blank control group, the expression level of p53 and p16 mRNA was increased to 2.93 ± 0.21 and 2.14 ± 0.09, respectively, while that of c-myc mRNA decreased to 0.53 ± 0.03 in the UVA group; baicalin could inhibit these changes. Similarly, Western blot showed that after UVA irradiation the protein expression level of p16 increased to 5.84 ± 0.16, while that of c-myc decreased to 0.35 ± 0.04 in HSF compared with that in the blank control group; baicalin treatment before and after the irradiation induced no significant changes in the protein expres sion of c-myc, but a decline in that of p16 (4.09 ± 0.13, P < 0.05). Telomerase activity was undetected in any of these groups. ConclusionsBaicalin can delay the photoaging process of HSF, which may be attributed to the regulation of expression of senescence-related genes such as p53, but not to telomerase activity.
