RESUMEN
The fruits of Paulownia catalpifolia Gong Tong are used as a Chinese folk herbal medicine for the treatment of enteritis, tonsillitis, bronchitis, and dysentery, etc. Our previous study has identified new C-geranylated flavanones with obvious anti-proliferative effects in lung cancer A549 cells. In the present study, a new C-geranylated flavone, paucatalinone C (1) and five known C-geranylated flavanones (2-6) were isolated. In addition, a total of 34 C-geranylated flavonoids were detected by HPLC-DAD-ESI-MS/MS coupling techniques from the CHCl extract of P. catalpifolia. Futhermore, anti-aging effects of isolated compounds were evaluated in vitro with premature senescent 2BS cells induced by HO. Phytochemical results indicated that P. catalpifolia was a natural resource of abundant C-geranylated flavonoids. Diplacone (3) and paucatalinone A (5) were the potent anti-aging agents in the premature senescent 2BS cells induced by HO and the C-geranyl substituent may be an important factor because of its lipophilic character.

<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To investigate the expression of TM4SF9 in the villi of early pregnancy, hydatidiform mole, invasive hydatidiform mole and chorionic carcinoma tissue.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>Immunohistochemistry was used to detect the expression of TM4SF9 in normal villi of early pregnancy, hydatidiform mole, invasive hydatidiform mole and chorionic carcinoma tissues.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>TM4SF9 was expressed in the cytotroblasts but not in the syncytiotrophoblast of normal villi. The intensity of TM4SF9 expression increased in the order of normal villi, hydatidiform mole, invasive hydatidiform mole and chorionic carcinoma, with strong positivity rates of 0, 10%, 36.4% and 100%, respectively, showing significant differences between the samples (P<0.001).</p><p><b>CONCLUSION</b>TM4SF9 expression in the trophoblasts may relate to their invasiveness and play an important role in the metastasis of trophoblastic tumor.</p>
