High-intensity focused ultrasound inhibits tumor metastasis in a melanoma-bearing mouse model / 南方医科大学学报

<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To investigate the effect of high-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) on tumor metastasis in mouse model bearing melanoma xenograft.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>Mice bearing murine melanoma B16-F10 cell xenograft were randomized for sham-HIFU or HIFU exposure when the tumors grew to a maximum diameter of 7-10 mm, and the tumor size was measured every 3 days. The cumulative survival rate of the mice and tumor metastasis rate were calculated, and the circulating melanoma cells were detected using qRT-PCR. At 14 days after HIFU treatment, B16-F10 cells were retransplanted via the tail vein and the pulmonary metastatic nodules were counted.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>The median survival time of the mice was 19.00 days (95% CI 17.14-20.86 days) in the sham group and 26.00 days (95%CI 24.76-27.25 days) in HIFU group. The cumulative survival rate in the HIFU group was significantly higher than that in sham-HIFU group (P<0.01), and the tumor size was significantly smaller in HIFU group at 20, 23, and 26 days after HIFU treatment (P<0.05). Compared with the sham-HIFU group, HIFU group had significantly lower levels of MAGE-A3, MART1 and PAX3 at 7 days after HIFU (P<0.05) with still lower MAGE-A3 level at 14 days (P<0.05). HIFU group showed a significantly smaller number of pulmonary metastatic nodules following tumor cell retransplantation than in sham-HIFU group (P<0.01) with a metastasis inhibition rate of 42.4%.</p><p><b>CONCLUSION</b>HIFU treatment can inhibit tumor metastasis in melanoma-bearing mice possibly by reducing tumor cell detachment from the primary tumor site and suppressing colonization of the circulating melanoma cells.</p>

Implication of budding uninhibited by benomyl gene in spontaneous abortion embryos with numerical chromosomal abnormality / 中华检验医学杂志

Objective To explore the mechanism of hBUB1 gene in the developing of spontaneous abortion embryos with numerical chromosomal abnormalitv.Methods Quantitative real-time RT-PCR and Western blot were used to determine the mRNA and protein level of hsMAD2 gene both in spontaneous abortion embryos with numerical chromosomal abnormality(experimental group)and with numerical chromosomal normality(control group).Recombinant shRNA plasmids targeting hBUB1 gene was constructed to inhibit the expression of endogenous hBUB1 genes in embryonic cells.Interference efficiency was demonstrated by fluorescent quantitative PCR and Western blot.The inhibitory rate of cell proliferation was measured by MTT assay and cells-cycle was assessed by flow cytometry.Resuns Western blot analysis showed that protein level of hBUB1 in the experimental group was decreased signifieandv(the rate of positivity and strong positivity were 8%and 93.5%,respectively,P＜0.05)compared with the control group.The expression of hBUB1 gene in embryonic cells was significantly and specially inhibited by shRNA plasmids (the mRNA level before and after treatment witll RNAi were 0.196±0.067 and 0.042±0.006,respectively,P＜0.05).The inhibitory rate of cell proliferation was increased to 62%from 4%at 48 h after transfection.The rate of G2/M phase cells was decreased after transfection with efficient shRNA(control group:40.2%and 41.3%,test group:21.3%).Conclusions Down-regulation of hBUB1 gene leads to the inhibition of cell proliferation and the arrest of cell-cycle.It also probably plays an important role in the development of spontaneous abortion embryos with numerical chromosomal abnormality.The clinical relevance warrant further investigation.

Expression of human spindle mitosis arrest deficiency gene in spontaneous abortion embryo tissues / 中华妇产科杂志

Objective To investigate the expression of human spindle mitosis arrest deficiency gene (hsMAD2)in spontaneous abortion embryos and the relationship between low expression of hsMAD2 and numerical chromosomal aberration. Methods Spontaneous abortion embryo tissues were collected,including 23 cases of once spontaneous abortion tissue and 10 cases of twice or more spontaneous abortion tissue and induced abortion embryos(35 cases)from the Department of Gynaecology and Obstetrics of the Affilisted Hospitals of Chongqing University of Medical Science during the period of March 2006 to March 2007.FQ-PCR and western blot were used to evaluate the endogenous expression level of hsMAD2 mRNA and hsMAD2 protein;primary culturing of cells from the induced abortion embryos was conducted and 5 embryonic cells were selected by chromosomes karyotype analysis.Recombinant shRNA plasmids targeting hsMAD2 gene were constructed to inhibit the expression of endogenous hsMAIY2 genes in embryonic cells which have normal karyotypes;the groups were defined as the first experimental group(transfeeted with pshRNA-hsMAD2-1),the second experimental group(transfected with pshRNA-hsMAD2-2),the third experimental group(transfected with pshRNA-hsMAD2-3),the first control group(transfected with nothing),the second control group(transfected with pTZU6+1)and the independent group(transfected with pshRNA-N1).Interference efficiency was demonstrated by FQ-PCR and western blot:cell prolireration was meagured by methyl thiazolyl tetrazolium(MTT)assay;cell-cycle was assessed by flow cytometry (FCM):the chromosome numbers were calculated to analyze the variation of chromosomes.Results(1) The mRNA levels of hsMAD2 in the once spontaneous abortion tissue,twice or more spontaneous abortion tissue and indueed abortion tissue were 0.00879±0.00035.0.00901±0.00033 and 0.00941±0.00026 respectively,and there Wag no significant ditierence(P＞0.05)compared with each other;however,the protein levels of hsMAD2 in three groups were 0.2791±0.0311.0.0431±0.0020 and 0.5790±0.0331 respectively,and there were significant difierences(P＜0.05)compared with each other.(2)Recombinant shRNA plagmids could significantly and specifically inhibit hsMAD2 gene expression in embryonic cells.Compared with the first control group(4%)and the second control group(3%),the recombinant shRNA could inhibit embryonic cell proliferation to 54% at 48 h after transfection(P＜0.05):compared with the first control group(8.2%)and the second control group(8.0%),the ratios of G2/M phase cells in the experimental group(17.9%)was significantly increased(P＜0.05);compared with the first control group (4.8%),the ratios of abnormal chromosomes in the experimental group was increased to 30.0%(P＜0.05).Conclusions Down-expression of hsMAD2 gene may be one of the mechanisms inducing numerical chromosome aberration,abnormal embryo development and the occurrence of spontaneous abortion.

Down-regulated centromere protein-I arrests cell growth at G_2/M phase in human embryo kidney cells / 第三军医大学学报

Objective To construct the RNA interference eukaryotic expression vector targeting human centromere protein-I (CENP-I) and to observe its effect on the growth of human embryo kidney 293 cells (HEK 293). Methods The expression vectors of pGenesil-1/CENP-I-siRNA-1. pGenesil-1/CENP-I-siRNA-2 and pGenesil-1/CENP-I-siRNA-3 were constructed by gene recombination and then were transfected into the HEK293 cells by liposome. The expressions of CENP-I at the protein and mRNA levels were detected by Western blotting and fluorescence quality PCR (FQ-PCR). The effective vector and the best transfection time were selected. The growth and the cell cycle of the transfected cells were assessed by MTT assay and flow cytometry. Giemsa was used to stain the transfected cells to calculate the mitotic index. Results Sequence-specific siRNAs targeting CENP-I significantly down-regulated the expression of CENP-I in HEK293 cells. The recombinant plasmid of pGenesil-1/CENP-I-siRNA-3 was the effective vector. After transfecting for 72 h the best inhibited efficiency was achieved. In CENP-I-siRNA transfected cells,the rate of cell growth was decreased markedly. Cells at G 2/M phase and the mitotic index were increased conspicuous compared with the cells transfected with the blank vector or untransfected. Conclusion Down-regulation of CENP-I in HEK293 cells by sequence specific siRNA delays the cell growth and postpones the cell division.
