RESUMO
Refractory constipation is a common gastrointestinal functional disease.Studies have shown that intestinal flora disorders are closely related to the occurrence and development of constipation.Fecal bacterial transplantation (FMT) is regarded as a special organ transplantation,which transplants the intestinal flora of healthy people into the gastrointestinal tract of patients to reconstruct the intestinal flora with normal function.FMT has been successfully applied to the treatment of Clostridium difficile infection.This article reviews the relationship between fecal bacterial transplantation and refractory constipation.
RESUMO
Objective To investigate the expression of Oct4 in liver cancer, and the interrelation of the Oct4 and Wnt/β-catenin genes in hepatocellular carcinoma( HCC) cell line HepG2. Methods RTPCR technique was used to detect the expression of Oct4 and β-Catenin in HCC specimens; RNAi was used to knock-down the expression of Oct4 in HepG2, and the change of Wnt/β-catenin related genes were detected by Real time-PCR. Results In HCC specimens, the expression of Oct4 and β-Catenin in tumor and cirrhotic liver tissues were stronger than normal liver tissues. In SiRNA Oct4 HepG2 cells, the expression of Oct4 was downregulated, and β-catenin as well as Wnt10b were in a positive correlation with Oct4, TCF3 was in negative correlation with Oct4. Clone formation and move ability of the HepG2 were downregulated. Conclusions The expression of Oct4 was higher in tumor tissues than in normal liver tissues. Silencing Oct4 by SiRNA-0ct4 in HepG2 resulted in decreased ability of clone formation and cell movement.
RESUMO
<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To investigate the expression of Oct4, Sox2, Nanog, SMO, beta-Catenin and Wnt5b mRNA in four hepatocellular carcinoma cell lines of SMMC-7721, Bel-7402, HepG2, MHCC-97 and normal hepatocellular cell line of L02, and to compare the response of these cell lines to all-trans retinoic acid.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>RT-PCR was used to detect expression of Oct4, Sox2, Nanog, SMO, beta-Catenin and Wnt5b mRNA in four hepatocellular carcinoma cell lines and normal hepatocellular cell line. Real time-PCR was used to quantify the expression of the genes.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>There are different levels of expression of the stem cell-related gene in hepatocellular carcinoma cell lines and control cell line (P less than 0.05). There are significant differences in HepG2 and L-02 for the response to all-trans retinoic acid (P less than 0.05).</p><p><b>CONCLUSIONS</b>The stem cell-related genes are differentially expressed in different hepatocellular carcinoma cell lines.</p>
