Erythropoitin producing hepatocellular receptors(Ephs) and their ligands ephrins,the largest subset of tyrosine protein kinase receptor family,play a key role in the adhesion,orientation,migration and differentiation of cells.Eph and Ephrins are found closely correlated with tumorigenesis and development in human gastrointestinal tumors,especially colorectal cancer.The members of Ephs and ephrins show diverse expression in intestinal epithelial cells.Studying the mechanism and role of Ephs and ephrins on the malignant tumor occurrence and development will provide more accurate clinical basis for the treatment of colorectal cancer.

Background and purpose:This study was to investigate the effect of miRNA-486 on the growth of human colorectal cancer cell line SW620 xenograft in nude mice and to explore the possible mechanism of action. Methods:Eighteen mice were randomly divided into three groups, including the experimental group, the negative control group and the blank control group. Each group contained 6 mice. The SW620 cell line was inoculated subcutaneously into nude mice to establish the model of human colorectal cancer xenografts. Peritumoral injection of miRNA-486 overexpres-sion plasmid, or blank vector and PBS were performed every 3 days. The volumes of subcutaneous tumors in each group of inoculated mice were compared. Then mice were sacrificed 3 weeks after infection. Immunohistochemistry and Western blot were used to measure the expression of neuropilin-2 (NRP2).Results:The growth rate of tumors in the experimental group was significantly lower than that in the negative control group and the blank control group. After 21 days, the size of transplanted tumors in the experimental group nude mice was (0.32±0.12) cm3, that in the negative control group was (0.77±0.31) cm3, and that in blank control group was (0.82±0.18) cm3. Tumor mass in the experimental group was sig-nificantly smaller than that in the other two groups (P=0.006<0.05). Tumor mass in the experimental group was (0.40±0.08) g, significantly smaller than that in the negative control group (0.75±0.18) g and in the blank control group (0.79±0.18) g (P=0.008<0.05). Compared with the expression of NRP2 in other groups, the growth of tumor in the experimental group de-clined (P=0.000<0.05).Conclusion:Colorectal cancer cell line SW620 xenografted tumor in nude mice can be suppressed after injection of miR-486, which may decrease the expression of NRP2.

Background and purpose:MicroRNA-486-5p (miR-486-5p) has been demonstrated to play an important role in many kinds of tumor, however, there are few reports about the relationship between miRNA-486-5p in gastric carcinoma. This study was aimed to explore the effect of miR-486-5p on the proliferation, apoptosis and migration abilities of the human gastric cancer cell line SGC7901.Methods:Quantitative real-time PCR (qRT-PCR) analysis was performed to detect the expression of miR-486-5p in the SGC7901 and GES-1 cells, miR-486-5p over-expressing plasmid was constructed and transfected into the human gastric carcinoma cell line SGC7901 using LipofectamineTM2000. The expression of miR-486-5p of the transfected cells was measured by qRT-PCR, the proliferation level of SGC7901 cells was detected by MTT method, the apoptosis rate of the cells was measured by lfow cytometry and the in vitro migration abilities of SGC7901 cells by transwell test. Results:The miR-486-5p expression in SGC7901 cells was down-regulated compared with GES-1 cells. The expression of miR-486-5p in SGC7901 cells that was transfected miR-486-5p over-expressing plasmid was obviously up-regulated. The proliferation and migration abilities of SGC7901 cells were inhibited signiifcantly, and the apoptosis rate of the cells increased. Conclusion:miR-486-5p can effectively suppress the proliferation and in vitro migration abilities of SGC7901 cells, indicating that miR-486-5p might be used as a target for molecular therapy of gastric cancer.

Objective To investigate the protective effect of glutamine(Gln) pretreatment on intestinal ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) injury and endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS)/nitric oxide (NO) signaling pathway in rat model. Methods Thirty male Wistar rats were randomly divided into three groups(n=10 for each group):sham group, I/R group and Gln group. Animals were pretreated with 1 g/(kg·d)Gln by orogastric route for 7 days in Gln group, and normal saline was given to the other two groups in the same dose. Intestinal I/R was induced by 30 min occlusion of the superior mesenteric artery followed by 24 h of reperfusion. After the operation, the intestinal histopathological changes, the plasma endotoxin level, serum D-lactic acid, eNOS, inducible NOS(iNOS)activity and NO levels were detected by ultraviolet spectrophotometer. The mRNA expressions of myocardial eNOS and iNOS were detected by real-time fluorescence quantitative PCR (RT-PCR). Results After reperfusion, in IR group, extensive epithelial sloughing and mucosal ulceration of villous tips were observed, whereas these findings did not occur in Gln group and sham group. Compared with IR group, the serum NO, eNOS levels and eNOS mRNA expression of intestinal tissue were elevated in Gln group (P<0.01), but the plasma endotoxin level, serum D-lactic acid, serum iNOS and intestinal iNOS mRNA expression decreased in IR group(P<0.05). Conclusion Glutamine pretreatment has protective effects on intestinal ischemia-reperfusion injury in vivo. The mechanism may be related to the inhibition of iNOS expression and the increased expression of eNOS, thereby increasing NO activity.

Objective To investigate the effects of isoliquiritigenin on the invasive ability of human gastric carcinoma SGC7901 cells, and its molecular mechanisms thereof. Methods The logarithmic phase human gastric carcinoma SGC7901 cells were divided into control group (normal cell culture fluid) and isoliquiritigenin group (isoliquiritigenin solu?ble in cell culture fluid, the concentrations were 10, 25, 50 and 100 μmol/L respectively). Each group had four repeated holes. The proliferation of SGC7901 cells were detected with MTT assay after 24 h, 48 h and 72 h of culture. The experimen?tal drug concentration and action time were researched for the subsequent experiments. The in vitro invasion abilities of SGC7901 cells were assessed with Transwell test. The expression levels of MMP9, Akt and P-Akt were detected by Western blot assay. Results The proliferation of SGC7901 cells were inhibited by 10μmol/L isoliquiritigenin, which can be signifi?cantly inhibited by 25, 50 and 100μmol/L isoliquiritigenin in a concentration-dependent and time-dependent manner. The half inhibitory concentrations (IC50) of 24, 48 and 72 h were 52.48, 44.49 and 32.50μmol/L, respectively. Therefore, the 25, 50 and 100μmol/L isoliquiritigenin were selected as the subsequent experimental drug concentration, and 24 h was used as the action time. Compared with the control group (209.75±9.29), the membrane cell number of 25μmol/L (138.50±10.15), 50μmol/L (89.50 ± 16.56) and 100μmol/L (45.00 ± 8.08) decreased gradually (F=267.948,P<0.05). There was no signifi?cant difference in the expression level of Akt protein between four groups (F=1.492). The expression levels of P-Akt and MMP9 were gradually decreased with the increase of the isoliquirigenin concentration (F=359.219 and 431.324,P<0.05). Conclusion Isoliquiritigenin can obviously inhibit invasion ability of SGC7901 cells, which may be related to the down reg?ulation of the signal transduction pathway protein PI3K/Akt and the down steam protein MMP9.

Objective To compare three dimensional arterial spin labeling(3D-ASL) and dynamic susceptibility contrast-perfusion weighted imaging(DSC-PWI) in evaluating the cerebral hemodynamic of Moyamoya disease. Methods Approved by the institutional review board, 26 cases of Moyamoya patients who were diagnosed by DSA were enrolled. Diffusion weighted image, 3D-TOF-MRA, 3D-ASL, DSC-WPI, and T1WI were performed in 3.0 T MR scanner. ROI were positioned in the abnormal perfusion areas and the control area according to the arterial dominant territory to obtain quantitative parameters of perfusion. Perfusion parameters including cerebral blood flow(CBF) of ASL, cerebral blood flow(CBF), cerebral blood volume(CBV), mean transit time(MTT), and time to peak(TTP)of DSC-PWI , and relative parameters (ASL-rCBF, DSC-rCBF, DSC-rCBV, DSC-rMTT, DSC-rTTP) that the ratio of abnormal perfusion area and the control area were calculated. Meanwhile, the areas of the lower perfusion region of ASL and TTP images in the same slice were measured. Difference of the above-mentioned parameters and areas was processed by paired Student′ t test. Furthermore, correlation of relative values of perfusion parameters(ASL-rCBF, DSC-rCBF, DSC-rCBV, DSC-rMTT, and DSC-rTTP) was processed by Pearson correlation test. Results There were significant statistics differences between values of ASL-CBF, DSC-MTT, and DSC-TTP in abnormal perfusion [(28.18 ± 10.19)ml · 100 g-1 · min-1,(7.98 ± 2.22)s,(29.93 ± 3.95)s] and the control areas [(49.50 ± 11.37)ml · 100 g-1 · min-1,(6.07 ± 1.11)s,(27.34 ± 2.58)s] (t=-12.818, 4.193, 6.163, all P<0.01). There was no significant statistics difference in the lower perfusion area between ASL-CBF [(5 729.63 ± 4 563.79) mm2]and DSC-TTP[(5 875.33 ± 4 723.08)mm2](t=-1.774,P>0.05). Furthermore, the Pearson correlation test showed significant linear dependence between ASL-rCBF(0.56±0.14)and DSC-rMTT(1.34± 0.42), and DSC-rTTP(1.09 ± 0.69)(r=-0.630,-0.748, P<0.01). Conclusions There is a correlation between 3D-ASL and DSC-PWI in assessing the magnitude and areas of the reduction of blood perfusion of Moyamoya patients. Moreover, the ASL technique possesses advantages of non-invasion use of the gadolinium contrast.
