Effect of LINC00894 gene on proliferation and metastasis of gastric cancer cells via miR-205-5p/ZEB1 axis / 安徽医科大学学报

Objective To investigate the effects of long non-coding RNA 00894(LINC00894)gene on prolifera-tion and metastasis of human gastric cancer cells,and to verify the regulatory relationship of LINC00894,miR-205-5p and ZEB1 in gastric cancer.Methods The expression level of LINC00894 in gastric cancer cell lines,normal gastric lines,clinical gastric cancer and normal gastric tissue samples were determined by RT-qPCR.Through fol-low-up,the relationship between the expression level of LINC00894 and the prognosis of gastric cancer patients was explored.LINC00894 knockdown cell lines and overexpression cell lines were constructed,and the knockdown and overexpression efficiency was detected by RT-qPCR.Cell proliferation and metastatic capacity were determined by CCK 8,clone formation and Transwell assays.Dual-luciferase reporter assays,RT-qPCR assays and Western blot assays were used to examine the targeted regulatory relationships of LINC00894,miR-205-5p and ZEB1.Results The expression of LINC00894 gene in gastric cancer tissues or cells was significantly higher than that in normal gas-tric tissues or cells,moreover,gastric cancer patients with high LINC00894 gene expression had a worse prognosis.The knockdown of LINC00894 inhibited the viability,clonogenesis,migration and invasion ability of gastric cancer cells,and conversely,the overexpression of LINC00894 obtained the opposite results.LINC00894 promoted ZEB1 expression by targeted downregulation of miR-205-5p expression.LINC00894 promoted the expression of ZEB1 by targeting miR-205-5p and down-regulating its expression.Conclusion LINC00894 serves as an oncogene in gastric cancer and may promote proliferation and metastasis of gastric cancer cells via regulating miR-205-5p/ZEB1 axis.

Neurotrophins up-express in peripheral blood of allergic rhinitis patients and related to Th2 hypothesis / 临床耳鼻咽喉头颈外科杂志

OBJECTIVE@#To detect the expression of NGF, BDNF, NT-3 mRNA in the peripheral blood of patients with allergic rhinitis (AR). And to analyze the correlation between NGF, BDNF, NT-3 mRNA expression and the epidsode of rhinitis through Th-2 Hypothesis.@*METHOD@#This study was a group controlled trial. The expression of NGF, BDNF and NT-3 mRNA were tested by real-time quantitative RT-PCR and the concentrations of IL-4, IL-6, IL-10 and INF-alpha were tested by ELISA.@*RESULT@#The expression of NGF, BDNF and NT-3 mRNA in AR patients were 2.44, 4.46 and 1.78 times the amount of those in the healthy adults, respectively. The increased expression of NT-3 correlated positively with the scores of visual analog scale of AR. The concentrations of IL-4, IL-6 and IL-10, which were 2198 +/- 472 pg/mL, 9407 +/- 703 pg/mL and 3917 +/- 323 pg/mL respectively, were higher than those in the healthy adults. The concentration of INF-alpha was 2198 +/- 472 pg/mL and less than the healthy adults. The increased expressions of NGF, NT-3 were positively related to the increase of IL-4, IL-6 and IL-10.@*CONCLUSION@#The expressions of NGF, BDNF and NT-3 mRNA in AR patients are higher than those in the healthy adults. NGF, BDNF and NT-3 may contribute to the pathogenesis of AR. Moreover, NGF and NT-3 may induce the episode of rhinitis through Th-2 Hypothesis.

Increase expression of neurotrophins mRNA in peripheral blood of patients with allergic rhinitis / 临床耳鼻咽喉头颈外科杂志

OBJECTIVE@#To assess the expression of NGF, BDNF, NT-3 mRNA in the peripheral blood of patients with allergic rhinitis (AR). Meanwhile, to analysis whether the expression of NGF, BDNF, NT-3 mRNA correlate with the severity of rhinitis.@*METHOD@#This study is a group controlled trial, which takes the healthy adults as control group. The total RNA have been extracted from the peripheral blood of AR patients. The expression of NGF, BDNF and NT-3 mRNA have been tested by real-time quantitative RT-PCR.@*RESULT@#Comparing with the healthy adults, the expression of NGF, BDNF and NT-3 mRNA as 2(-deltadeltaCt) are 2.436 8, 4.4588 and 1.781 8 respectively. The increasing expression of NT-3 correlated positively with the scores of visual analog scale.@*CONCLUSION@#The expression of NGF, BDNF and NT-3 mRNA are as high as 2.4368, 4.4588 and 1.7818 times to healthy adults. We propose NGF, BDNF and NT-3 may contribute to the pathogenesis of AR. NT-3 could reflect the severity of rhinitis as a molecular biological index.
