Chinese Pharmacological Bulletin 2010;26(2):178-181
Aim To investigate the effects of sodium phenylbutyrate on cell proliferation,apoptosis and its expression of p21 and survivin genes in human tongue squamous cancer Tca8113 cell line.Methods The cellular proliferation inhibitory ratio was evaluated by MTT assay and the apoptosis and cell cycle of the Tca8113 cell line was detected by FCM.The expression of p21 and survivin genes was analyzed with Western blot and RT-PCR.Results Sodium phenylbutyrate could inhibit the Tca8113 cells proliferation,promote cell apoptosis and arrest the cells at G_1/G_0 phase.The expression of p21 gene in Tca8113 cell line treated by sodium phenylbutyrate was increased,and one of survivin gene was decreased.Conclusions Sodium phenylbutyrate induces up-regulation of p21 gene and down-regulation of survivin gene,which inhibits Tca8113 cell proliferation and induces its apoptosis and arrests the cells at G_1/G_0 phase.And the increase of p21 mRNA expression is negatively correlated with the decrease of survivin mRNA expression(r_s=-0.548,P<0.01),and so is its protein expression(r_s=-0.514,P<0.01).

Objective To realize the construction and expression of human dsFv genes to rabies virus. Methods The genes of dsFv VH and VL were amplified by PCR-based point mutagenesis strategy. Then the genes were cloned into plasmid pET-22b (+). E. coli BL21(DE3) was transformed with the recombinant expression plasmid and the protein was induced in Luris-Bertani medium by addition of IPTG. The inclusion body proteins of VH and VL were denaturalized by GuHCl, and then re-naturalized in refolding solution to form dsFv fragments. Afterwards, we evaluated the antigen-binding activity of the dsFv and its stability as compared with its originative scFv. Results The fragment genes of dsFv to rabies virus were constructed successfully by PCR-based point mutagenesis strategy. Sequence analysis proved that cysteines were introduced into the position 44 aa of VH and position 100 aa of VL. The dsFv VH and VL genes were expressed in PET22b(+)/BL21(DE3). The VH and VL protein folded into the active dsFv antibody fragments which showed specific binding capability to rabies virus. Conclusion We succeeded in achieving the stabilization of the human scFv to rabies virus and obtaining the active human dsFv antibody fragments. This established a solid basis for further study of the biological activaty and clinical application of dsFv to rabies virus.

Objective To measure the leakage rate in the process of expansion in vivo and in normal saline and the over-expansion property of the expander.Methods We chose 17 cases that were treated with the skin expansion.We recorded total injected saline volume intentionally in these cases before the second surgery,and recorded the remainder of the volume of saline postoperatively.We injected normal saline into 8 expanders,respectively,exceeding 50% of the volume-rating;and subsequently put these expanders into plastic bucket filled with saline.30 days after,we measured the remaining volume of the normal saline.We injected 100 ml normal saline into 4 expanders,respectively,of which nominal volume was 100 ml,and then left these expanders in saline and measured the remainder volume of the saline 30 days later.In the second time,we injected 150 ml and repeated the abovementioned process.It was repeated 7 times until the injection volume reached 400 ml.We processed the data and depicted a curve of effective expansion.Results The results showed that the leakage rate reached (29.0+12.5) % in vivo.Experiments in vitro confirmed that 85.0% (8.0/9.4) of the saline leaked through the injection port and 14.8% (1.4/9.4) leaked through the membrane of the expander.In addition,over-expansion performance index test confirmed that the over-expansion property of an expander was about twice the nominal volume.Conclusions The expander is not completely sealed structure.Normal saline can leak through the injection part and the membrane of the expander.The over-expansion property of an expander is limited.When the volume injected into the expander exceeds a certain value,the effective expansion performance is not increased with it.
