KLF9(Kruppel-likefactor9)isthetranscriptionfactorthatcanbindGC-richsitesthrough three C2H2-type zinc fingers and can regulate diverse biological processes,including cell proliferation,apopto-sis and the development of the organ.KLF9 is downregulated in some tumor specimens and tumorous cell lines relative to the normal samples and cell lines and plays an important role in the growth of cancer cells.Similar with the other KLF numbers,KLF9 could affect the development of tumors,especially for the endocrine-related cancers through multiple signaling pathways and interventions with other proteins.
3.Effects of repeated exposure to hypoxia on hypoxia tolerance in mice
Chinese Journal of Pathophysiology 1986;0(04):-
The hypoxia tolerance of mice was significantly increased by repetitive action of auto-hypoxia. The tolerance duration of the 2nd, 3rd, 4th and 5th run was 1.8 2.5 3.0 and 3.6 times longer than that of the Ist one. The survival time of mice that had been exposed to hypoxia repeatedly for four runs was 10 times longer than that of the control animals when both of them were placed in the same low pressure chamber and was 4 times longer while KCN was administrated. The survival time under low oxygen pressure in mice injected with brain extract of resistant mice was 1.8 and 2.1 times longer than that of the saline-injected or normal mice's brain extract-injected animals respectively. These results indicate that some plastic or adaptic changes might occur in the tissue cells particularly in the brain cells during acute and repeated hypoxia. They lead the animals' hypoxia tolerance to a very high level. Water soluble antihypoxic or hypoxia-resistant elements might exist in the brain of hypoxia resistant animals, which were extractable, transferable, and permeable to the blood brain barrier.
4.Changes of essential trace elements contents in mouse brain tissue following acute and repeated exposure to hypoxia
Chinese Journal of Pathophysiology 1986;0(03):-
The present experiment was carried out on mice.The changes in contentsof 12 essential trace elements in the brain of mice were measured by inductivelycoupled plasma emission following acute and repetitive exposure to hypoxia.Followingrepeat exposure to hypoxia for one or two runs, the contents of non-soluble in brainhomogenats as was notably decreased,while that of the soluble V was markedly increased,when compared with that of normal group.When the animals were fed for two daysafter four runs of hypoxia,the contents of As,Fe,Cu,Co,Cr,B,and V were all signi-ficantly or very significantly changed in comparison with the normal value.Further stu-dies are needed to find out the biological importance of these changes and the relationshipbetween them and hypoxia tolerance.

Purpose To detect the prevention of EGF and GLN on the side effect of TPN. Methods We randomized SD rats into four groups:group A (control),B(STPN),C(TPN+GLN),D(TPN+GLN+EGF).All rats were maintained on their respective diets for 8 days,at which time they were killed and the proximal jejunum was incised for biopsy,the MLN and celiac vein blood were collected for bacterial culture(aerobic culture). Results Group B rat mucosal cell atrophied,DNA and RNA content and plasma cell decreased,the positive rat of MLN bacterial culture was 62.5%.Atrophy in group C alleviated and bacterial translocation rate declined(37.5%).Group D was similar with group A. Conclusions GLN combined with EGF is more effective in protecting gut barrier function and preventing bacterial translocation than GLN alone.

Objective:To investigate the antihypertensive effects of mung bean protein,peanut protein and rice protein alcalase hydrolysates with in vitro angiotensin I-converting enzyme(ACE) inhibitory activity in spontaneously hypertensive rats(SHR) . Method:The impact of digestive proteases on ACE inhibitory activity of hydrolysates of peanut,mung bean and rice protein isolates were evaluated under simulated gastrointestinal digestion and their antihypertensive effects were investigated in SHR after single oral administration. Results:All of three kinds of protein hydrolysates showed antihypertensive activities after single oral administration at a dose of 600 mg/kg bw,most potent in mung bean protein while least in peanut protein. There were no significant changes in the heart rate of SHR after oral administration of protein hydrolysates. Conclusion:Mung bean protein,peanut protein and rice protein hydrolysates all showed antihypertensive activity,but their potent inhibitory activities on ACE did not correlate with their antihypertensive activities found in SHR.

Objective: To investigate the effect of zinc sulfate and zinc methionine on growth and their possible regulating mechanism in mice. Method: Ninety male KM mice were randomly divided into three groups. The control group was fed on basal diet containing zinc of 11. 67 mg/kg 10d. The ZnSO4 group and Zn-Met group were fed on the diets supplemented with ZnSO4 or Zn-Met at 30 mg/kg(on the basis of Zn) for 10 d. Initial and final body weight,serum zinc concentration, growth hormone (GH),the levels of growth hormone receptor (GHR) and insulin like growth factor 1 (IGF-1) mRNA were determined. Results: Both ZnSO4 and Zn-Met enhanced body weight and serum zinc concentration of mice,Zn-Met more effectively than ZnSO4 for body weight . Both forms of zinc had no effect on GH and the expression of GHR mRNA , but both up-regulated the expression of IGF-1 mRNA. As compared to ZnSO4, Zn-Met enhanced the level of IGF-1 mRNA significantly. Conclusion: Both ZnSO4 and Zn-Met had no effect on GH and the expression of GHR Mrna,but enhanced the expression of IGF-1 mRNA. Zn-Met enhanced the body weight gain and up-regulated IGF-1 mRNA expression more effectively than ZnSO4.

A novel peptide, named BF2-X, was designed based on the structure-activity analysis of an analogue of Buforin II, named BF2-A. The BF2-X was a hybrid peptide containing the N-terminal residues 5 to 13 of BF2-A and three repeats of the C-terminal regular alpha-helical motif RLLR, and the residues 8 valine were replaced by leucine. The results of bioinformatics analysis had showed that compared with BF2-A, the helicity, positive charge, hydrophobicity rate and C-terminal amphipathy of BF2-X had remarkably enhanced. Both peptides showed a random coil structure in an aqueous solution, while displaying a typical alpha-helical structure in 50% trifluoroethanol solution (a membrane mimic condition). BF2-X exhibited higher alpha-helical contents than BF2-A in hydrophobic environment. BF2-X displayed potent antimicrobial activities against a broad spectrum of microorganisms. And BF2-X showed stronger antimicrobial activities against bacteria tested than parent peptide BF2-A. These results suggest that the alpha-helical content was directly correlated with the enhanced antibacterial activity. Both peptides had no hemolytic action on mouse erythrocyte.
