RESUMEN
Objective To investigate the significance of the expression of phosphatidic acid phosphatase type 2 domain containing 1A(PPAPDC1A) in human colorectal cancer cell lines.Methods The high metastatic potential cells LOVO,SW620 and low metastatic potential cells SW480,RKO,HCT116 and DLD-1 were cultured,the expression of PPAPDC1A mRNA and protein in different colorectal cancer cells in logarithmic growth period was detected by real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction and Western blot.Results There were significant differences in the expressions of PPAPDC1A mRNA and protein among the six human colorectal cancer cells (F =41.213,344.1 16;P ＜ 0.05).The expression of PPAPDC1 A mRNA and protein in highly metastatic potential cells LOVO and SW620 was significantly higher than that in DLD-1,HCT116,RKO and SW480 cells (P ＜0.05).The expression of PPAPDC1A protein in LOVO cells with high metastatic potential was significantly higher than that in SW620 cells(P ＜ 0.05).The expression of PPAPDC1A protein in DLD-1 cells was significantly higher than that in HCT116,RKO and SW480 cells (P ＜0.05).The expression of PPAPDC1 A protein in HCT116 cells with low metastatic potential was significantly higher than that in RKO and SW480 cells (P ＜ 0.05).The expression of PPAPDC1 A protein in RKO cells was significantly higher than that in SW480 cells (P ＜ 0.05).There was no significant difference in the expression of PPAPDC1A mRNA between LOVO and SW620 cells (P ＜ 0.05).There was no significant difference in the expression of PPAPDC1A mRNA between SW480,RKO,HCT116 and DLD-1 cells (P＜ 0.05).Conclusion PPAPDC1A expresses differentially in colorectal cancer cell lines,which may be involved in the invasion and metastasis of colorectal cancer.
RESUMEN
<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To investigate the gene expression of MAPEG in the cortex of concanavalin A (Con A)-induced mouse immune inflammatory model and the effect of cyclosporine A (Cs A).</p><p><b>METHODS</b>Male Balb/c mouse immune inflammation model was developed by intravenous injection of Con A (20 mg/kg). Cs A (150 mg/kg) was intravenously infected prior to Con A administration. The MAPEG expressions were determined by RT-PCR.</p><p><b>RESULT</b>mGST1, mGST3, LTC(4)S, FLAP and mPGES-1 were detected by RT-PCR but not mGST2. Eight hours after Con A treatment, mGST1 level was up-regulated to 1.2 approximately 1.5 folds of control with or without Cs A treatment. mGST3ìLTC(4)S, FLAP and mPGES-1 mRNA levels were not influenced by Con A administration.</p><p><b>CONCLUSION</b>Immune mechanism may be not involved in mGST1 up-regulation in this model and Con A does not alter arachidonic acid metabolism in cortex.</p>

<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To investigate the protective effects of icaritin (ICT) on apoptosis of primarily cultured rat neurons induced by Abeta(25-35) peptide and its mechanism.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>Cortical neurons from rat embryonic cortical on d17 pregnancy were cultured in neural basal medium for 7 days. Icaritin (ICT) was pre-incubated for 24 h before adding Abeta(25-35) peptide and then the cells were incubated for 72 h. Neuroprotective effects of ICT were evaluated by MTT assay, LDH level in medium and cell morphological observation. Meanwhile, apoptosis was determined by JC-1 staining for mitochondria membrane potential (DeltaPsim) and AO/EB double staining for genetic damage of nucleoli in monolayer cells.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>0.1 micromol.L(-1) ICT pre-incubation for 24 h prevented rat neurons from Abeta(25-35) peptide induced apoptosis significantly as demonstrated by MTT, LDH assay and morphological observation. AO/EB double staining also indicated that ICT prevented neurons from apoptosis. JC-1 staining further showed that ICT prevented decreasing of mitochondrial DeltaPsim induced by Abeta(25-35) peptide.</p><p><b>CONCLUSION</b>ICT could protect primarily cultured rat neurons from Abeta(25-35) peptide induced apoptosis.</p>

<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To evaluate the inductive effects of icaritin (ICT) on the directed differentiation of mouse embryonic stem (ES) cells into neuronal cells in vitro.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>ES cells were cultured with embryoid body (EB) formation cultures, ICT in different concentrations was added in the cultural media and the cells were harvested in several differentiation phases. The expression spectrums of neuronal cell-specific genes and proteins were verified by semi-quantitative RT-PCR and immunocytochemistry analysis, respectively.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>Differentiation of neurocyte phenotype from ES cells was promoted by ICT in a concentration-and time-dependent manner. ICT at 10(-7)mol/L significantly enhanced the differentiation toward neuronal cells, and up to 80 % of EBs outgrowth in d 8+8 incubation. The gene expressions of beta-tubulin III in neuron and GFAP in glial cells were detected in neuronal cell phenotype derived from EBs. Furthermore, nestin was detected in precursor cells, beta-tubulin III and GFAP were detected in the generated precursor neurocytes immunocytochemically.</p><p><b>CONCLUSION</b>Directed differentiation of neurons is facilitated by ICT in EB formation culture, which is associated with the expression of developmental-dependent gene and protein.</p>
