RESUMO
Aim To explore the effect of ferroptosis inducer Erastin combined with Shikonin on the anti-tumor activity of colorectal cancer cells and its mechanism.Methods Erastin(0,4,8,16,32,64 μmol·L-1)and Shikonin(SW-480:0, 0.5,1,2,4,8 μmol·L-1 with SW-620:(0,0.2,0.4,0.8,1.6,3.2 μmol·L-1)alone and 10 μmol·L-1 Erastin combined with various concentrations of Shikonin were used to treat colorectal cancer cells SW480 and SW620; Cell viability was detected by CCK-8 method and the apoptosis was detected by AnnexinV/PI double staining.The changes of active oxygen content in colorectal cancer cells were measured by ROS detection kit, and the changes of intracellular lactic acid content in SW480 and SW620 were measured by 10 μmol·L-1 Erastin alone or in combination with 2 μmol·L-1 and 1 μmol·L-1 Shikonin, respectively.The protein expressions of Bax, Bcl-2, PARP1, Caspase3,Caspase8,AKT and P-akt in SW480 and SW620 cells were detected by Western blot.Results The results of CCK-8 showed that the combination group could significantly inhibit the viability of colorectal cancer cells and the apoptotic rate was the highest.At the same time, lactic acid was inhibited most obviously.The content of intracellular reactive oxygen species and apoptosis-related proteins also changed significantly.Conclusions Erastin combined with Shikonin can synergistically induce the apoptosis of colorectal cancer cells.The mechanism may be inhibiting the production of lactic acid in tumor cells, increasing the content of reactive oxygen species in tumor cells, inhibiting the AKT signaling pathway, and activating pro-apoptotic proteins to induce colorectal cancer cell apoptosis.
RESUMO
Rapid allele-specific PCR primer was designed base on Cytb 155 A/T single nucleotide polymorphism, DNA was extracted by alkaline lysis and the PCR reaction systems including denatured and annealing temperature and cycle numbers were optimized. The results were performed to authenticate Ranae Oviductus and its 4 adulterants. When 100×SYBR Green I was added in the PCR product at 90 ℃ denatured 3 s, 62 ℃ annealing 20 s and 32 cycle. Ranae Oviductus visualized strong green fluorescence under 365 nm UV lamp whereas adulterants appeared negative. The whole process can be completed in 40 minutes．The established method provides the technical support for authentication of the Ranae Oviductus.
RESUMO
Pulmonary sparganosis mansoni is rare in humans and bronchial sparganosis mansoni has not been reported. We reported a patient with a soft-tissue mass in the right hilum area on a chest computed tomography (CT) scan that was suspected of being lung cancer. Bronchoscopy identified sparganum larvae. Bronchial sparganosis mansoni accompanied by abnormal hyperplasia was diagnosed by histopathology. We introduced our experience and reviewed the clinical characteristics of three pulmonary sparganosis mansoni cases and three pleural cavity sparganosis mansoni cases that have been reported.
