RESUMO
Objective:To investigate the effect of diallyl trisulfide (DATS) on the expression of folate receptor α (FRα) in human gastric cancer cells and the related regulatory mechanism.Methods:Human gastric cancer cell lines BGC823 and AGS were selected, BGC823 cells were treated with 10, 20, 40, 80 μmol/L DATS for 48 hours, and AGS cells were treated with 5, 10, 20, 40 μmol/L DATS for 48 hours. Cells treated with 6 μmol/L histone deacetylase (HDAC) inhibitor trichostatin A (TSA) were used as positive control for epigenetic study, and cells untreated with DATS were used as negative control. The apoptosis of gastric cancer cells induced by DATS was detected by flow cytometry. After BGC823 and AGS cells were treated by DATS for 48 hours, they were replaced with DATS-free cell culture medium and cultured for different time to detect the changes in FRα protein expression. BGC823 and AGS cells were treated with 6 μmol/L TSA or 40 μmol/L DATS. The protein expression levels of FRα, HDAC1 and HDAC2, and histone H3 lysine 9 acetylation (H3K9ac) and histone H4 lysine 5 acetylation (H4K5ac) were detected by Western blot. BGC823 cells were inoculated into BALB/c nude mice to establish tumor bearing model. The nude mice in DATS group were injected intraperitoneally with 10 mg/kg DATS for 16 days, and then the protein in tumor-bearing tissues was extracted to detect the expression of target protein, while the control group was injected with equal dose of 0.9% NaCl solution.Results:The expressions of FRα protein in BGC823 and AGS cells were up-regulated in a dose-dependent way after gradient concentrations of DATS treatment ( F = 65.68, P < 0.01; F = 26.65, P < 0.01). After changing the cell culture medium without DATS, the expressions of FRα protein in BGC823 and AGS cells gradually decreased and returned to the initial levels ( F = 74.57, P < 0.01; F = 30.92, P < 0.01). With the increase of DATS concentration, the apoptosis rates of BGC823 and AGS cells increased ( F = 32.95, P < 0.01; F = 38.97, P < 0.01). After TSA treatment, FRα protein expressions in BGC823 and AGS cells were up-regulated by 4.5 times ( t = -12.62, P < 0.01) and 3.6 times ( t = -10.00, P < 0.01). After 40 μmol/L and 20 μmol/L DATS treatment, the expression level of FRα protein in BGC823 and AGS cells was up-regulated (both P < 0.01), the expressions of HDAC1 and HDAC2 were inhibited (all P < 0.01), and the levels of H3K9ac and H4K5ac acetylation modification increased (all P < 0.01). The results of tumor-bearing nude mice experiment showed that the volume of transplanted tumor in DATS group was smaller than that in the control group [(214±39) mm 3 vs. (577±98) mm 3], and the difference was statistically significant ( t = 4.86, P < 0.01). Compared with the control group, FRα protein expression in the transplanted tumor tissues of DATS group was up-regulated about 2 times ( t = -5.29, P < 0.01), and the expression levels of HDAC1 and HDAC2 proteins were down-regulated ( t = 9.36, P < 0.01; t = 9.88, P < 0.01). Conclusions:DATS up-regulates the expression of FRα protein in human gastric cancer BGC823 and AGS cells in a dose-dependent and reversible manner. The mechanism may be related to the effect of DATS on histone acetylation modification in tumor cells.
RESUMO
Objective:To provide more valuable experimental animal models for lung cancer research, three kinds of orthotopic human lung neoplasms models in nude mice were established and their biological characteristics were monitored and compared by using small animal in vivo imaging system Spectrum-CT.Methods:Human lung cancer A549 cell line stably expressing luciferase (A549-Luc) was constructed and three kinds of orthotopic human lung cancer models in nude mice (6 mice/each group) were established by means of intrapleural injection, tail vein injection and tracheal perfusion with A549-Luc cells, respectively. Additionally, bioluminescence imaging was performed on model mice by using Spectrum-CT imaging system to monitor the growth of tumor tissues and the intensity of fluorescence signal once a week for 4 consecutive weeks. Finally, the lung tissues of model mice were dissected for in vitro bioluminescence imaging and pathological analysis.Results:The results of bioluminescence imaging analysis revealed that the transplanted tumor tissues of all three groups continued to growth. At the 4th week after cell inoculation, the fluorescence signal intensity of the mice in the intrapleural injection group [(2.78±0.18)×10 6 P/s] was significantly higher than that in the tracheal perfusion group [(1.45±0.20)×10 6 P/s] and the tail vein injection group [(1.35±0.14)×10 6 P/s] (F = 62.53, P < 0.01). The 3D in vivo imaging analysis showed that the tumor tissues had different growth states in three orthotopic lung cancer models. The intrapleural injection model had a single tumor focus at the inoculation site of the right lung lobe. The tumor tissues of the tracheal perfusion model showed an uncertain multi-point growth pattern in the left and right lung lobes. In the tail vein injection model, the tumor foci were relatively evenly distributed in the left and right lobes. Conclusions:Compared with the tracheal perfusion model and the tail vein injection model, the intrapleural injection orthotopic lung cancer model shows stronger tumorigenic ability and has advantage in the study of the active location of transplanted tumor. Combined with Spectrum-CT in vivo imaging system, real-time localization and quantitative analysis of the tumor growth can be performed at an early stage of transplantation, which can provide a valuable experimental method for the pathogenesis and pharmaceutical research of lung cancer.

The superficial and deep communicating branches end at the peroneal veins.
RESUMO
15 male Wistar rats of 8 weeks old were used in this experment. After deeply anesthesia, the masseter muscles, digastric muscles, lateral pterygoid muscles were stimulated in the apartment that was made by us. The curves that express the relations of force-electronic stimulates were recorded and the constitutive equations of these muscles were given. When a single electronic signal stimulates the muscle, the respondence of the muscles can be expressed as F = A(e-alpha t - e-beta t) and the constant A, alpha, beta were determined. When the frequency of the electronic stimulation was higher than 3 Hz, the respondence was expressed as F = Ce-gamma/t + Dsin omega t and the constants C, D and gamma were determined. When the frequency of the electronic stimulation was thirty or higher, the tetanic convulsion occurred.
