Objective Human mitochondrial transcription termination factor 3 ( MTERF3 ) is a negative regulator of mito?chondrial gene expression and energy metabolism. This study was to construct a prokaryotic expression system for MTERF3 in Esche?richia coli ( E. coli ) and prepare its mouse?anti?human polyclonal antibody. Methods The complete open reading frame ( ORF) of human MTERF3 cDNA was amplified by RT?PCR and subcloned into prokaryotic expression vector pET28b. Then the recombinant plasmid pET28b?MTERF3 was transformed into competent E.coli BL21(DE3) and IPTG induced the expression of 6×his fusion protein. The recom?binant human MTERF3 protein was purified through Ni2+?NTA agar?ose gel column affinity chromatography and the purified recombinant protein was used as immunogen to immunize the BALB/c mice to pre?pare its specific polyclonal antibody. The titer and specificity of the antibody were analyzed by ELISA, Western blot and cellular immuno?fluorescence, respectively. Results The recombinant human MTERF3 protein was successfully expressed in E. coil and the mouse?anti?human MTERF3 polyclonal antibody with high quality was successfully prepared. ELISA showed that the titer of the antibody was 1:105 . Western blot and immunofluorescence detection revealed that the mouse?anti?human MTERF3 antibody could recognize the native MTERF3 antigen specifically. Conclusion Human MTERF3 expressed in the prokaryotic system has strong immunogenicity and the polyclonal antibody obtained from immunizing mice has high titer and specificity. The prokaryotic expression of human MTERF3 and the preparation of its antibody lay the foundation for further function research of human MTERF3.

Objective To research the protective effect of Ento-Ⅰagainst cerebral ischemia-reperfusion injury in rats,and to evaluate its analgesic and anticoagulating effects in mice. Methods The ischemic model was established with line embolism to block the middle cerebral artery of male rats. The 56 rats were randomly assigned into 7 groups of sham-operation,blank-matrix,nor?
mal saline,Ento-Ⅰplastic of 3 doses(6.67,3.33,1.67 mg/kg),and ozagrel sodium(8.3 mg/kg,ip). The effect of Ento-Ⅰplastic on anti-cerebral ischemia was measured by nervous function scores and the areas of cerebral infarction were determined by TTC staining for the calculation of cerebral infarction rates. The analgesic effect of Ento-Ⅰplastic was determined with acetic acid-induced twisting experiment. Sixty KM mice were randomly allocated into blank-matrix,aspirin,aspirin-plastic,and Ento-Ⅰplastic of 3 doses(5,10 and 20 mg/kg),the number of mouse twisting were recorded right after intraperitoneal injection of 0.7%acetic acid solution at the time of 1 h after the last administration. Moreover,the anticoagulant activity of Ento-Ⅰplastic was tested by glass capillary method. Re?sults The results of acetic acid-induced twisting experiment displayed that Ento-Ⅰplastic of all 3 dose groups(5,10 and 20 mg/kg) could significantly reduce the number of body torsion and increase the inhibitory rates of twisting,compared with that of blank matrix group(the inhibitory rates of twisting for 3 dose groups were 21.79%,48.89%,and 56.15%,respectively),with dose-response man?ner. According to the results of glass capillary test,the clotting time of mouse blood could be significantly prolonged by mid-(10 mg/kg)and low-dose(5 mg/kg)of Ento-Ⅰplastic with corresponding clotting time of(155.20±54.19)s and(155.80±73.84)s,compared with normal saline group at(92.10 ± 24.61)and blank-matrix group at(80.40 ± 48.09,P<0.05). The experiment results of the isch?emia-reperfusion injury by line embolism method in rats exhibited that Ento-Ⅰplastic in mid-dose(3.33 mg/kg)could significantly re?duce the neurological scores after 24 h of reperfusion injury,from(2.33 ± 0.52)of normal saline group to(1.00 ± 0.00)of mid-dose group(P<0.01). The results from TTC staining revealed that the cerebral infarction rates of normal saline group and blank-matrix group were(24.89±7.24)%and(27.72±7.89)%,respectively,whereas those of 6.67 mg/kg and 3.33 mg/kg group of Ento-Ⅰplastic were(14.01±2.65)%and(14.73±4.94)%,respectively. Compared to the 2 negative-control groups,both the high-and mid-dose of Ento-Ⅰplastic could significantly reduce the cerebral infarction rates after ischemic reperfusion injury in rats (P<0.01). Conclu?sion Ento-Ⅰplastic demonstrates strong analgesic and anticoagulant effects,and could substantially reduce the neurological scores and reduce cerebral infarction rates for ischemia-reperfusion injured rats. These are likely to be the mechanism of action for Ento-Ⅰplastic realizing its anti-cerebral ischemia effect.

Results:Atfer CJTF treatment, the rat arthritis score and paw edema score in AR model rats were signiifcantly decreased when the AR model rats were treated with CJTF, the SFRP4 expression was signiifcantly up-regulated, while theβ-catenin and C-myc gene expression were signiifcantly down-regulated in AR model rat synovial tissues. Conclusion:CJTF has significant therapeutic effect and inhibitory effect on Wnt pathway activation by targeting SFRP4 in AR model rat synovium.

Objective To detect the global level of histone 4 lysine 20 (H4K20) methylation and its relation with DNA damage-repair in peripheral blood cell of arsenic-exposed residents in the coal-contaminated arsenism areas in Guizhou,in order to provide a basis to deepen the interpretation of the role of arsenic in inhibiting DNA damage-repair.Methods Jiaole village in coal-burning-borne arsenism areas in Xingren County of Guizhou was selected as the survey point,and 115 cases of arsenic-exposed residents were selected as the arsenic exposed group on the basis of physical examination.Moreover,53 residents from one village of non-epidemic area neighboring the diseased area were selected as controls.Hair and peripheral blood samples of these subjects were collected,and the histone protein was extracted from the lymphocytes separated from blood samples.The hair samples were digested with microwave digestion instrument,and the hair arsenic content was tested via the inductively coupled plasma-mass spectrometry (ICP-MS) method;the level of H4K20 1,2,3 methylation (H4K20me2,me2,me3) in peripheral blood cell was tested by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA);DNA damage of peripheral blood cell was measured by single cell gel electrophoresis (SCGE).Results The testing results of hair arsenic contents showed that the arsenic levels of hair in arsenic exposed group [0.30 (0.19-0.46)μg/g] were significantly higher than those of control group [0.12 (0.08-0.18) μg/g,F=11.968,P < 0.05].Compared with the control (0.44 ± 0.14,0.99 ± 0.41,1.06 ± 0.33),the level of H4K20me1 (0.60 ± 0.29) in arsenic exposed group was higher (F =2.513,P < 0.05),H4K20me2 (0.75 ± 0.26) was lower (F =4.707,P < 0.05),and H4K20me3 (1.20 ± 0.62) was of no significant difference (F =0.582,P > 0.05).The detecting results of DNA damage of the lymphocytes separated from peripheral blood showed a statistically significant increase (F =9.307,9.457,all P < 0.05) in TailDNA% and Olivetailmoment in arsenic exposed group [Median (M):10.75,11.69]compared with those of control group (M:2.12,1.16).The correlation analysis indicated that the arsenic levels of hair of subjects were positively correlated with H4K20me1 (r =0.214,P < 0.05) and inversely with H4K20me2 (r =-0.224,P < 0.05);H4K20me1 was positively associated with TailDNA% (r =0.383,P < 0.05) and Olivetailmoment (r =0.380,P < 0.05);H4K20me2 was inversely associated with TailDNA% (r =-0.290,P < 0.05) and Olivetailmoment (r =-0.298,P < 0.05).Conclusion H4K20 methylated modification makes a response to arsenic exposure of human body,the alteration of H4K20mel/me2 may participate in regulating DNA damage-repair induced by arsenic in vivo.
