Objective To clone and identify human genes transactivated by homo sapiens HCV FTP2 by constructing a cDNA subtractive library with suppression subtractive hybridization tech- nique.Methods Suppression subtractive hybridization(SSH)and bioinformatics techniques were used for screening and cloning of the target genes transactivated by HCV FTP2.The mRNA was iso- lated from HepG2 cells transfected pcDNA3.1(-)-HCV FTP2 and pcDNA3.1(-)empty vector re- spectively,and SSH method was employed to analyze the differentially expressed DNA sequence be- tween the two groups.After digestion with restriction enzyme Rsa I,small-size cDNAs were ob- tained.Then tester cDNA was divided into two groups and ligated to the specific adaptor I and adap- tor 2 respectively.After tester cDNA was hybridized with driver cDNA twice and underwent two times of nested PCR and then was subcloned into T/A plasmid vectors to set up the subtractive library. Amplification of the library was carried out with E.coli strain DH5?.Futhermore,the cDNA was se- quenced and analyzed in GenBank with Blast search after PCR.Results The subtractive library of genes transactivated by HCV FTP2 was constructed successfully.The amplified library contains 71 positive clones.Colony PCR shows that 56 clones contain 200~1000 hp inserts.Sequence analysis was performed in 24 clones randomly,and the full length sequences were obtained with bioinformatics method.Altogether 20 coding sequences in total were obtained,consisting of 19 known and 1 un- known.Conclusion The obtained sequences may be target genes transactivated by HCV FTP2,and some genes coding proteins involved in cell cycle regulation,metabolism and cell apoptosis.

Objective To study the biomechanical strength of calcium phoshphate cement (CPC) in fixating distal radial fractures. Methods A total of 18 human distal radius fracture models were made and randomly divided into three groups: fixed with Kirschner wire (Kirschner group), CPC (CPC group) or CPC combined with Kirschner wire (combination group). Compression test was performed to measure compression rigidity and rotational angle of distal fragment at 100 N and anticompression strength and maximum compression strength at 2 mm displacement. Results Compression rigidity, distal fragment rotation angle in coronal or sagittal plate had no significant statistical difference at 100 N of compression in three groups. Compression strength at 2 mm displacement in CPC group (average 375 N) and combination group (average 386 N) exceeded that in Kirschner group (average 116 N), with significantly statistical difference (P

Aim To investigate the effects of silencing MALAT1 gene on cell proliferation inhibition and apop-tosis induced by Melittin in human hepatocellular car-cinoma HepG2 cells. Methods The inhibitory rate of cell proliferation treated with Melittin in HepG2 cells was examined by MTT assay. Apoptotic rate was detec-ted by flow cytometry. The MALAT1 expression level in HepG2 cells was measured by qPCR. Specific siR-NAs were utilized to silence MALAT1 expression. The rates of cell proliferation inhibition and apoptosis in HepG2 cells treated with siRNA and Melittin were compared with those of Melittin alone. Results Melit-tin significantly suppressed the growth of HepG2 and induced cell apoptosis in a dose-dependent manner. Compared with normal liver cell lines, MALAT1 was highly expressed in HepG2 cells ( P<0. 05 ) . The ex-pression of MALAT1 in HepG2 cells was inhibited by Melittin, and the inhibitory rate increased with the in-crease of concentration. The rates of cell proliferation inhibition and apoptosis in HepG2 cells treated with siRNA and Melittin were significantly higher than those treated merely with Melittin. Conclusion Melittin can reduce the expression of MALAT1 and silencing MALAT1 can effectively promote proliferation inhibi-tion and apoptosis in HepG2 cells induced by Melittin.
