This study aimed at exploring the effects of Griffipavixanthone,a natural small molecule extracted from Garcinia esculenta,on the autophagy and the mechanism behind it.Cervical cancer HeLa cells were selected as the model in vitro.Confocal microscopy,flow cytometry and immunoblotting were performed to know the impacts of Griffipavixanthone on signaling pathway over autophagy flux and calcium level;while nude mouse model was established to explore its anti-cancer action in vivo.It was found that Griffipavixanthone significantly induced GFP-LC3 puncta formation and the accumulation of LC3-Ⅱ/LC3-Ⅰ,and increased the protein expression of SQSTM1 in HeLa cells in a time and concentration dependent manner.MTT assay results showed that Griffipavixanthone inhibited the growth of HeLa cells in a dosage dependent manner,and eliminated the tolerance of tumor cells to nutrient starvation,which fastened the death of cells.Griffipavixanthone also down-regulated the concentration of calcium in the cytoplasm.Furthermore,the in vivo study indicated that intratumoral injection of Griffipavixanthone presented the anti-cancer effect to a certain extent.In conclusion,it was suggested that Griffipavixanthone inhibit autophagy with the potential to be developed into a clinical anti-cancer agent.Griffipavixanthone sensitized HeLa cells to nutrient stress-induced cell death through inhibiting the autophagy flux and the level of calcium in the cytoplasm.

In this study, a novel tetrapeptide hydrophilic interaction chromatography (HILIC) material was synthesized, and corresponding enrichment method for glycopeptides was developed.The tetrapeptide modified silica gel materials (denoted as Poly-DAPD) were synthesized by atom-transfer radical-polymerization (ATRP) and characterized by N2 adsorption desorption and thermometer, thermal gravimetric analyzer (TGA) and X-ray photoelectron spectrometer (XPS).The characterization results indicated that tetrapeptide had been successfully synthesized on silica gel.Poly-DAPD materials showed high enrichment selectivity toward fetuin glycopeptides under solid-phase extraction (SPE) mode.Comparing with commercialized ZIC-HILIC in glycopeptides enrichment of fetuin digest which mixed with 5 mole ratio of albumin bovine (BSA), the as-prepared materials showed higher selectivity in both aspects of the identified number of glycopeptides and anti-interference property.The SPE results demonstrated that the tetrapeptide-based HILIC materials could be a potential tool in large-scale glycosylation analysis.

Poorly differentiated thyroid carcinoma (PDTC) is a special type of thyroid carcinoma, the morphology and biological behavior of which are between well-differentiated and undifferentiated (anaplastic) carcinomas. Currently, the diagnosis of PDTC mainly relies on the pathological standards. Although "Turin standards" is commonly used, there is no generally accepted diagnostic criteria. Surgery is still the main treatment for PDTC, but the adjuvant therapies are in dispute. Age, tumor node metastasis (TNM) stage and integrity of surgical of PDTC are major factors that affect the prognosis. The identification of eosinophilic phenotype (hurthle cells) of PDTC is important. Some common immunohistochemical and molecular biomarkers, such as the insulin-like growth factor II mRNA-binding protein 3 (IMP3), E-cadherin and proliferating protein Ki67, may be helpful for distinguishing PDTC from other thyroid carcinoma. With the progress in studies regarding molecular markers for PDTC and the clinical characters of PDTC patients with large samples, the diagnosis for PDTC will greatly improved and the pathogenesis for PDTC will be elucidated.

Objective To investigate the expression and significance of γH2AX in cervical squamous carcinoma.Methods Firstly,DNA were extracted from 74 cervical squamous carcinoma samples and PCR were tested for HPV infection.Secondly,formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded tissue sections (4 μm)were stained with H&E method to detect cervical lesions grading.Thirdly,HPV16 DNA were examined by in situ hybridization(ISH) and γH2AX,p16 were examined by immunohistochemical (IHC) staining.Then,30 cases typical tissue sections in which including the normal cervical tissue,cervical intraepithelial neoplasia and cervical carcinoma in situ were selected for comparing the HPV DNA loading,and the γH2AX and,pl6 expression.Finally,the feasibility of γH2AX serving as a biomarks in HPV infection-related cervical carcinogenesis were analyzed.Results In this study,HPV infection ratio is 98.65%,and HPV16 is the most common type with 74.32% infection.In situ hybridization showed no HPV16 DNA exist in normal cervical tissues and CINI.In CIN Ⅱ HPV DNA exist mainly as episomal DNA.With the increasing of cervical lesions grade,HPV DNA was integrated into chromosome steadily.The expression of γH2AX and pl6 were positively associated with grading of cervical lesions.HPV DNA and γH2AX protein co-exist primarily in the prickle cell layer and the granular cell layer.The HPV DNA and p16 protein exist in different cell layer.Conclusion γH2AX may be employed as a biomarker for HPV positive cervical carcinogenesis.
