Effect of miR-16 on megakaryocytic differentiation of K562 cells / 中国病理生理杂志

AIM: To observe the effect of microRNA-16 (miR-16) on the megakaryocytic differentiation of K562 cells, and to explore the potential mechanism.METHODS:miR-16 was over-expressed or silenced by transfection with miR-16 mimics or inhibitor in K562 cells.The level of miR-16 was detected by real-time PCR.The expression of CD41, CD42b and CD61, as megakaryocytic differentiation markers, was detected by flow cytometry.The effect of miR-16 on the expression of myeloblastosis oncogene ( MYB) was measured by Western blotting, and flow cytometry was performed to confirm whether the effect of miR-16 on expression of CD41, CD42b and CD61 was mediated by MYB.RESULTS:Transfection with miR-16 mimics dramatically elevated the level of miR-16 and the expression of CD41, CD42b and CD61 in the K562 cells.Transfection with miR-16 inhibitor decreased the level of miR-16 and the expression of CD41, CD42b and CD61 in the K562 cells (P<0.05).The expression of MYB was regulated by miR-16, and MYB silencing reversed the regulation of CD41, CD42b and CD61 induced by miR-16.CONCLUSION:miR-16 regulates the megakaryocytic dif-ferentiation of K562 cells by targeting MYB.

Discussion on the reform of the curriculum and teaching model of pharmaceutical analysis course / 中华医学教育探索杂志

As the curriculum was unreasonable and teaching approac h was simple in the course of pharmaceutical analysis,the course curriculum was reconstructed and optimized to be more advanced and more scientific.Reasonable teaching approaches will be adopted according to different teaching contents and diverse teaching model which is benefit to the cultivation of students' innovative capability will be constructed.

Aberrant hypermethylation and expression of cadherin 1 in lung cancer / 中华检验医学杂志

Objective To explore the relationship between hypermethylation and expression of cadherin 1(CDH1)with lung cancer.Methods The semi-quantitative real-time methylation specific polymerage chsin reaction(MSP)were used to detect the promoter's relative methylation ratio of CDH1 in all 30 cases of lung cancer tissues,para-cancer lung tissues,distal lung tissues and 5 non-cancer lung tissue samples.Nested RT-PCR was used to detect the expression ratio of CDH1 mRNA.The western blot analysis was used to detect the expression of E-cad protein.The immunohistoeheroical method was used to confirm some negative results of western blot analysis.Results The relative methylation ratios was 0.13%-450.67%(median:33.61%)in cancer tissues,0.00%-177.02%(median:18.04%)in para-cancer tissues,and 0.00%-51.68%(median:13.69%)in far-cancer tissues.Statistical significance between cancer and pars-cancer tissues(Z=-2.355,P＜0.05)and between cancer and disial tissues(Z=-3.527,P＜0.01)were found.The results of nested RT-PCR showed that there were statistical sigaificance of mRNA expression between lung cancer tissues and pars-cancer tissues,distal lung tissues or non-cancer lung tissues(F=9.081,P＜0.01).The results of western blot showed that the positive expression rate of E-cad was 36.7% in lung cancer tissues,70.0%in para-cancer tissues,and 96.7% in far-cancer lung tissues,respectively.There was a statistical significance of positive rate pf E-cad expression between lung cancer tissues and pars-cancer tissues or diatal tissues(X2=6.70,24.30,7.68,P＜0.01).Conclusions The study showed that transcription of CDH1 mRNA would be silenced by hypermethylation of CDH1 promoter,resulting in the decreased expression of E-cad.The aberrant hypermethylation of E-cad is implicated in lung cancer.

Research on correlation between E-cadherin mRNA expression and lung cancer / 临床检验杂志

Objective To explore the correlation of E-cadherin(E-cad) mRNA expression with tumorigenesis and development of lung cancer.Methods The relative quantitative nested RT-PCR was used to detect the expression of E-cad mRNA in cancerous tissues,adjacent and distal tissues of tumor from 50 lung cancer patients,and non-cancerous benign lung tissues from 5 lung disorder patients.Results The means of expression rate of E-cad mRNA in cancerous tissue,adjacent and distal tissues of tumor,and non-cancerous tissues were 1.33?0.53,1.65?0.60,2.01?0.46 and 2.09?0.09 respectively.The data were evaluated by analysis of variance.There were significant difference among cancerous tissue,adjacent and distal tissue(F=18.810,P0.05).Also,there were no significant differences among squamous cell carcinoma,adenocarcinoma and adenosquamous carcinoma in the group of cancerous,adjacent and distal tissue.Conclusion The reduced expression of E-cadherin mRNA may play important role for tumorigenesis and development of lung cancer,and there was no evident relationship of E-cad mRNA with different pathological types of lung cancer.
