Background and purpose:Despite the high remission rate in patients with multiple myeloma (MM) after the standard regimen, but often relapsed and resistant. It has been shown that modulation of cAMP can induce cell cycle arrest and apoptosis in a variety of tumor cells, which has become an interesting approach to cancer therapy. This study aimed to investigate possible effects of cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP) analogue 8-(4-chlorophenylthio) adenosine 3’, 5’-cyclic monophosphate (8-CPT-cAMP) on multiple myeloma cells, provide direction to develop new drugs for the treatment of MM. Methods:The myeloma cell line U266 cells were treated with 8-CPT-cAMP of different concentrations. The proliferation of U266 cells was evaluated through cell counting kit (CCK-8) assay, lfow cytometry was used to analyze the changes of cell were distribution, apoptosis rate as well as mitochondrial transmem-brane potential (ΔΨm) in U266 cells before and after the treatment. Meanwhile, real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) and Western blot assay were used to detect expression levels of apoptosis regulators including caspase-8, caspase-9, Bcl-2 and Bax genes in U266 cells before and after the treatment. Results:The U266 cells were treated 5 days with 8-CPT-cAMP of different concentration, it was shown that 8-CPT-cAMP could signiifcantly inhibit cell growth of U266 cells in a concentration and time dependent manner, the IC50 of 8-CPT-cAMP was reduced obvious prolonged reaction time, and reached to 58.52μmol/L in the iffth day. The cell cycle of U266 cells was stopped in G0/G1 stage as the progress of concentration. It was showed statistical signiifcant difference associated with the cellular proliferation inhibition rate and apoptosis rate in different concentration and control (P<0.05). Meanwhile, 8-CPT-cAMP could induce mitochondrial transmembrane potential collapse in U266 cells. Compared with control groups, the levels of Bcl-2 mRNA transcripts and protein in U266 cells were reduced in 8-CPT-cAMP treated groups (P<0.05), while the levels of caspase-9, Bax mRNA transcription and the expression of Bax protein were increased in treatment groups, but the caspase-8 mRNA had no statistical signiifcant difference with controls. Conclusion:8-CPT-cAMP can inhibit the proliferation and promote apoptosis of myeloma cells, which might be mediated by caspase via mitochondrial pathway.

BACKGROUND: Iron deficiency anemia (IDA) is one of the highest incidence nutritional-deficiency diseases all over the world; especially infants and children are the main group. IDA presently becomes one of the most important nutritional problems to be solved.OBJECTIVE: To observe the effect of chocolate carrier and orange juice on recovery of IDA model rats.DESIGN: Randomized controlled animal study.SETTING: Laboratory of Nutrient and Food Hygiene, School of Public Health and Tropical Medicine, Southern Medical University.MATERIALS: The experiment was carried out in the Laboratory of Nutri ent and Food Hygiene, School of Public Health And Tropiacal Medicine, Southern Medical University from March to June 2006. A total of 60 healthy SD rats of clean grade were provided by Animal Center of Southern Medical University (certification: 2002-009 2005A047). METHODS: ① Establishment of IDA models: Among them, 20 rats of half genders were randomly selected toregard as control group, and other 40 were regarded as model group. Rats in control group were fed with rou tinefeed and drank freely. Rats in model group were fed with AOAC-modi fied low-dosage iron feeds to establish IDA models by blooding at caudal vein. Three weeks later, average concentration of ferrohemoglobin in model group was decreased to about 90 g/L, and this suggested that model estab lishment was successful. Ten rats of half genders in each group were ran domly sacrificed. Pre-experiment and 3 weeks of post-experiment, rats were weighed to measure concentration of ferrohemoglobin with hemoglobin cyanide (HiCN) technique, red blood cell count (RBC, direct method), serum iron (microparticle chemiluminescent immunoassa y and related kit) and concentration of serum transferrin receptor (STFR, ELISA method and related kit). ② Recovery test: Other 10 rats in control group were regarded as normal control group, and they were fed with routine feed and drank freely. The rest 30 rats of half genders in model group were randomly di vided into 3 subgroups: model control group, FeSO4 group and chocolate & orange juice group with 10 in each group. Rats in model control group were perfused with distilled water everyday; rats in FeSO4 group were per fused with FeSO4, and rats in chocolate & orange juice group were per fused with chocolate carrier and orange juice. The iron volume in the last two groups was 6 mg/(kg·d). At 40 days after intervention, the experiment was stopped. Concentration of ferrohemoglobin, RBC, serum iron, concentration of STFR and activity of plasma-protein aconitase were measured with atom-trapping atomic-absorption spectrophotometry; meanwhile, biological utilization rate of chocolate carrier & orange juice was calculated.MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: ① Contents of herrohemoglobin, RBC,serum iron and STFR before experiment and after modeling; ② contents of ferrohemoglobin, RBC, serum iron, STFR and activity of plasma-protein aconitase before recovery test and at 40 days after experiment; ③ Related biological utilization rate.RESULTS: All 60 rats were involved in the final analysis without any loss. ① Comparison of blood index after modelling: Content of ferrohemoglobin, RBC and content of serum iron were lower in model group than those in control group (P < 0.01), but content of STFR was higher than that in control group (P < 0.01). ② Comparison of blood index and activity of plasma-protein aconitase in liver before recovery test and at 40 days after experiment: At 40 days after intervention, concentration of ferrohemoglobin,RBC and content of serum iron were higher in FeSO4 group and chocolate & orange juice group than those in model control group (P< 0.01); however, content of STFR was lower than that in model control group (P < 0.01).At 40 days after intervention, activity of plasma-protein aconitase in FeSO4 group and chocolate & orange juice group was higher than those before recovery test (P < 0.01). ③ Related biological utilization rate of chocolate carrier plus orange juice: Biological utilization rate of FeSO4 was regarded as 100%, and biological utilization rate of chocolate carrier plus orange juice was increased remarkably (106.7%).CONCLUSION: Chocolate carrier plus orange juice can improve IDA function and wildly use on treating IDA because of its good absorption. It is characterized by well biological utilization rate and good taste; therefore,it is a hot topic for trophology and foods produce presently.
