RÉSUMÉ
P2X7 receptor is an ion channel receptor with adenosine triphosphate (ATP) as its ligand, which is widely expressed in various immune cells and tissues. Activated P2X7 receptor is involved in a variety of physiological and pathological processes. P2X7 receptor is abnormally expressed in colon cancer, and plays a duel role of cancer-promoting and cancer-suppressing in colon cancer progression. When P2X7 receptor is activated by extracellular ATP, it can effectively inhibit proliferation and induce apoptosis of colon cancer cells through various mechanisms. In addition, P2X7 receptor can also promote the growth, invasion and metastasis of colon cancer. Understanding the activation of P2X7 receptor and its effect mechanism is of great significance for the treatment of colon cancer.

Experimental teaching occupies an important position in the teaching of medical laboratory technology. At present, many experimental projects cannot be carried out due to the high cost and the long process of the experiment, the difficulty of morphology teaching and the biological safety of clinical specimens. Virtual simulation experiment platform can break through the limitations of conventional experimental teaching in time, space and safety by integrating course experiment, increasing the experiment test item, building morphological inspection data repository, the virtual operation platform for inspection instrument and equipment and the virtual experiment assessment operation platform, and play an important role in the experimental teaching. This paper reviews the current situation of experimental teaching of medical laboratory technology, the construction and application, the existing problems and countermeasures of virtual simulation experiment platform, and expects to provide reference for the construction and application of virtual simulation experiment platform for medical laboratory technology in the future.

Objective To investigate the effect of nucleus localization signal linked nucleic kinase substrate short peptide-conjugated chitosan (NNSCS)-mediated human miR-140 gene local transfection on the repair of articular cartilage defect in rabbits.Methods Eukaryotic expression plasmid GV268-miR-140 was constructed,and then negative controls GV268 and GV268-miR-140 were respectively combined with NNSCS to form NNSCS/GV268 and NNSCS/GV268-miR-140 complexes.Eighteen healthy male New Zealand white rabbits were randomly divided into transgenic group (Group A),negative control group (Group B),and sham operation group (Group C),with 6 rabbits per group.Both Groups A and B were prepared for the total cartilage damage model of femur trochlear,and Group C only exposed the articular surface of the femur trochlear.One week after operation,Group A was treated with NNS CS/GV268-miR-140 complex,Group B was given NNS CS/GV268 complex,and Group C was given equal amount of isotonic saline,twice a week for 7 weeks.The experimental animals were sacrificed at the end of the eighth week after operation.Real time fluorescence quantitative PCR (RT-qPCR) was used to detect the expression of miR-140,Sox9,Aggrecan and Hdac4 in the defect area.HE staining,safranine O/fast green staining,and Aggrecan immunohistochemical staining were used to evaluate cartilage repair in the defect area.Results RT-qPCR showed the expression of miR-140 in Group A (3.16 ± 0.37) was significantly higher than that in Group B (1 ± 0.24) and in Group C (1.24 ± 0.18) (P ＜ 0.05).The miR-140 expression in Group A obviously up-regulated the expression of SOx9 gene (4.38 ± 0.66) compared with Group B (1.04 ± 0.04) and Group C (1.19 ± 0.3),(P ＜ 0.05).The miR-140 expression in Group A obviously up-regulated the expression of Aggrecan gene (3.63 ± 0.58) (P ＜0.05) compared with Group B (1.21 ± 0.14) and Group C (1.34 ± 0.13).The miR-140 expression in Group A obviously down-regulated the expression of Hdac4 (0.37 ±0.06) compared with Group B (0.81 ± 0.06) (P ＜ 0.05).According to results of HE staining,safranine O/fast green and Aggrecan,cartilage repair was evident in Group A,while fibrous tissue proliferation and inflammatory cell infiltration were seen in the defect region in Group B,showing no cartilage repair.Conclusions NNS CS can carry exogenous genes into chondrocytes and the genes can abundantly express locally.High expression of miR-140 might significantly improve the repair of articular cartilage defect in vivoby up-regulating expressions of Aggrecan and Sox9 as well as down-regulating Hdac4 expression.

Objective To study the effects of TRβ△ on apoptosis and proliferation of liver cancer cell line RH-35 from rat in vitro. Methods RH-35 cells were transfected by empty vector pcDNA3. 1 and expression plasmid pcDNA3. 1-TRβ△, then exposure to 10 nmol/ L T3 . RH-35 cells apoptosis and proliferation were observed by flow cytometry and MTT colorimetric assay; Levels of catenin β-1(CTNNB1), senescence marker protein-30(SMP-30) and BCL2-antagonist/ killer ( BAK ) mRNA evaluation were detected by quantitative real-time RT-PCR (RT-qPCR). Results In the presence of T3 , overexpression of TRβ△ significantly inhibited the proliferation, increased the percentage of apoptotic, down-regulated CTNNB1and SMP-30 expression, up-regulated BAK expression in RH-35 cells( P < 0. 05). Conclusion TRβ△ could inhibit the proliferation of RH-35 cells and promote their apoptosis, which may be related to upregulation of BAK genes expression and downregulation of CTNNB1 and SMP-30 gene expression, and these effects could be regulated by T3 .
