Research progress of signaling transduction pathway mediated by tgr5 / 中国药理学通报

GPCBAR1, also known as TGR5 receptor, is one member of the GPCRs family. TGR5, a pattern recognition receptor located on cell membrane, is widely expressed in human beings and animals, playing numerous significant roles in anti-inflammation and immune regulation, energy metabolism, glucose metabolism and anti-cancer. Many signaling pathways are induced by TGR5 upon activated. AKT, NF-kB, ERK, STAT3, cAMP signaling pathways, methods and results of TGR5-mediated signaling pathways and t(ie development of new drugs via TGR5-mediated signaling pathways were reviewed in this paper.

Kaempferol inhibits invasion and migration of non-small cell lung cancer A549 cells by down-regulating ERRα expression / 中国肿瘤生物治疗杂志

@# Objective: To study the effects of kaempferol on invasion and migration of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC)A549 cells and the related mechanisms. Methods: CCK-8 was used to detect the effect of different concentrations of kaempferol on the proliferation of A549 cells. Transwell assay and wound healing assay were used to detect the ability of cell invasion and migration. The expressions of EMT-related proteins (N-cadherin, Snail-2 and E-cadherin) were detected by Western blotting. The effect of kaempferol on the mRNA and protein expressions of estrogen related receptor alpha (ERRα) was determined by qRT-PCR. ERRα over-expression vector (pLV-ERRα) was transfected intoA549 cells, and the cell invasion, migration and the expression of EMT related proteins were detected by Transwell assay, wound healing assay and Western blotting, respectively. Results: Kaempferol dose-dependently inhibited the proliferation of A549 cells, and kaempferol at concentrations of 5, 10 and 20 μmol/L was used in the following experiments. After the treatment with different concentrations of kaempferol, the number of invasive cells and wound closure rate, the expression of N-cadherin and Snail-2, and the mRNAand protein levels of ERRα decreased significantly, while the expression of E-cadherin increased significantly, (all P<0.01). After transfection with pLV-ERRα, the number of invasive cells, scratch closure rate and the expressions of N-cadherin and Snail-2 of A549 cells over-expressing ERRα significantly increased, while the expression of E-cadherin decreased significantly (all P<0.05 or P<0.01); and all these indices were attenuated after the treatment with kaempferol (all P<0.05 or P<0.01). Conclusion: Kaempferol inhibits the invasion and migration as well as EMT of non-small cell lung cancer A549 cells by down-regulating ERRα, which may provide experimental basis for the clinical treatment of lung cancer.

Transfer of radiation related leukemia risk from Japanese population to Chinese population / 中华放射医学与防护杂志

Objective To estimate the averaged excess relative risk(ERR) in Chinese population based on the radiogenic cancer risk of leukemia in Japanese atomic bomb survivor cohort,and to discuss proper method suitable for risk transfer between populations.Methods Based on BEIR Ⅶ radiogenic cancer model and population transfer model,and the 2009 Chinese leukemia baseline rates given in 2012 Chinese Cancer Registry Annual Report,comparison was made of population incidences in seveal countries to adjust the weighting factors.Results The ERR of three subtypes of leukemia as a whole was obtained,and the weighting factors for risk transfer model was assumed.The additive factor for male was 0.2,and the multiplicative factor was 0.8,while the additive factor for female was 0.15,and the multiplicative factor was 0.85.Conclusions For the risk transfer between populations,weighting factor was adjusted as a whole to obtain the ERR value for estimating the risk to Chinese population.The risk transfer method suitable for Chinese population was obtained by using the incidence rate available for Chinese population to directly transfer radiation-induced leukemia risk to Chinese from Japanese.
