Objective To investigate the expression of anoctamin 1 in Chinese hamster ovary cells (CHO)and to analyze the functional properties of its ion channel,and to provide experimental basis for study on the physiological function of calcium-activated chloride channel.Methods The whole sequence of anoctamin 1 was obtained by PCR technique and was subcloned into pcDNA3.1 to construct the expression vector pcDNA3.1-anoctamin 1 was transfected into CHO by liposome-mediated transfection and the CHO stably expressing anoctamin 1 were aquired by selection with zeocin. The expression and distribution of anoctamin 1 in CHO were measured by RT-PCR technique and inverted fluorescence microscope.The functional properties of anoctamin 1 were measured with halide-sensitive fluorescence proteins YFP-H148Q/I152L.The PBS buffer solution with calcimycin and high concentration of iodine ion was used as experimental group,andthe PBS buffer solution without calcimycin and high concentration of iodine ion was used as control group.Results The results of digestion and sequencing confirmed that anoctamin 1 was cloned into pcDNA3.1 by electrophoresis and blast. The results of RT-PCR and inverted fluorescence microscope indicated that anoctamin 1 was expressed in CHO. The results of I- influx as measured by halide-sensitive fluorescence proteins YFP-H148Q/I152L showed that anoctamin 1 had the more functional properties of trans-epithelial transporting I-,and the transporting speed in experimental group was higher than that in control group (P<0.05).Conclusion Anoctamin 1 can be expressed highly in the CHO;Anoctamin 1 expressed in CHO has the characteristics of calcium-activated chloride channel.

Objective To evaluate narrow?band imaging(NBI)for early esophageal cancer and pre?cancerous lesions. Methods A total of 170 patients ( 192 lesions) diagnosed as having superficial esophageal carcinoma and precancerous lesions by endoscopy were retrospectively analyzed. Clinical data of endoscopy, narrow?band imaging (NBI) and iodine chromoscopy were analyzed.Results The detection rates of early esophageal cancer were both 100?? 0% in NBI(13/ 13) and iodine staining (13/ 13), with no statisti?cally significant difference (P>0?? 05).The detection rate of high grade intraepithelial neoplasia in NBI and i?odine staining was 94?? 9% (94/ 99) and 100?? 0% (99/ 99) respectively with no statistically significant differ?ence (P>0?? 05); The detection rate of low grade intraepithelial neoplasia in iodine staining was 100?? 0%(80/ 80), significantly higher than that of NBI 78?? 8% (63/ 80) (P<0?? 01).Conclusion NBI and iodine staining endoscopy show better diagnostic value for early esophageal cancer and similar diagnostic value for high grade intraepithelial neoplasia in precancerous lesions. But for the low grade intraepithelial neoplasia, the diagnostic value of iodine staining endoscopy is better than that of NBI.

Objective To investigate the safety and efficacy of low-dose apatinib in treatment of advanced malignant tumors. Methods The clinical data of 54 patients with advanced malignant tumors who were admitted to Shanxi Dayi Hospital from March 2015 to March 2018 were analyzed retrospectively. These patients were treated with apatinib at doses of 250 mg (29 cases) and 500 mg (25 cases) after initial treatment or failure of multi-line treatment. There were 15 cases of gastric cancer, 11 cases of lung cancer, 9 cases of ovarian cancer, 7 cases of liver cancer, 6 cases of soft tissue sarcoma, 3 cases of esophageal cancer, 2 cases of melanoma, and 1 case of peritoneal cancer. The objective response rate (ORR), disease control rate (DCR), progress free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) were analyzed, and the efficacy and related adverse reactions were evaluated. Results The adverse reactions of 54 patients could be evaluated. Non-hematological drug-related adverse reactions were most common with hypertension, hand-foot skin reaction and proteinuria, while hematologic drug-related adverse reactions were most common with leukopenia and thrombocytopenia. All patients were well tolerated. The incidence of drug-related adverse reactions in the 250 mg dose group was lower than that in the 500 mg dose group, and the incidence of grade Ⅰ-Ⅱhypertension between the two groups was statistically different (χ2 = 6.268, P= 0.012). Short-term efficacy:ORR of the patients in the 250 mg and 500 mg dose groups was 6.9% (2/29) and 12.0% (3/25), respectively;DCR was 41.4% (12/29) and 52.0% (13/25), respectively; and the 500 mg dose group was superior to the250 mg dose group, but the differences were not statistically significant (ORR: χ2= 0.416, P= 0.519; DCR:χ2= 0.609, P= 0.435). Long-term efficacy: the 500 mg dose group had a slight advantage over the 250 mg dose group in both median PFS time (3.9 months vs. 3.6 months) and median OS time (7.8 months vs. 7.6 months), but the differences were not statistically significant (PFS:χ2=0.472, P=0.492; OS:χ2=0.261, P=0.609). Conclusions Low-dose apatinib can be used to treat advanced malignant tumors. The drug-related adverse reactions are small, the curative effects are exact, the adverse reactions are easy to tolerate, and it is convenient for long-term use. Low-dose apatinib is one of the treatment options for advanced malignant tumors.

Objective:To investigate the effects of cabazitaxel on lung cancer cell metastasis and proliferation and the related mechanisms.Methods:Lung cancer cells A549 were divided into two groups. The experimental group were cultured with a low concentration of 50 μg/ml cabazitaxel, and the control group were cultured with an equal volume of a solution of cabazitaxel. The proliferation ability of the two groups of cells was examined using CCK8 and plate cloning experiments. The migration ability of A459 cells was verified by transwell and cell scratch experiments. The expression levels of MMP2/9, CDK4/6, and P16 protein were detected by Western blotting.Results:Compared with the control group, the cell proliferation ability of the A549 cell was weakened in the experimental group. The plate clone formation rate of the experimental group was 17.5%±2.3%, and A549 cell clone formation rate of the control group was 74.8%±4.5%. The cloning ability was reduced in the experimental group. Western blot results showed that the expression of CDK4/6 in the experimental group was down-regulated and the expression of P16 was up-regulated. The scratch healing percentage of the cells in the experimental group was 56.2%±3.8%, and the scratch healing percentage of the cells in the control group was 86.8%±5.2%. The scratch healing ability of the cells in the experimental group decreased. The transwell results showed that the experimental group had 35±4 cells per field of view, while it was 78±9 in the control group. The cell migration ability of the experimental group was decreased. Western blot results showed that the expression of MMP2/9 in the experimental group was down-regulated.Conclusion:Cabazitaxel leads to a decrease in the metastasis ability of lung cancer cells A549 through the extracellular matrix pathway, and inhibits cell proliferation by up-regulating P16.

Objective:To investigate the induction of specific T lymphocyte by bispecific monoclonal antibody in pancreatic cancer and its killing effects on KIF20A positive pancreatic cancer PANC1 cell line.Methods:CD 3/KIF20A bispecific monoclonal antibody was prepared and concentrated by chemical cross-linking method and purified by Sephrose-25 gel chromatography. Peripheral blood samples of healthy volunteers were collected, and monocytes were isolated using lymphocyte separation solution, and then cultured as dendritic cells (DC) and T cells respectively, and then co-cultured as DC-T cells. Meanwhile vitamin C was used to treat DC-T cells (vcDC-T cells). The levels of IFN-γ, IL-2, IL-4 and IL-12 in the supernatants and T cell subsets were detected by flow cytometry. About 1×10 5 T cells, DC-T cells, and vcDC-T cells with 10, 50, 100 and 300 ng CD 3/KIF20A antibody loaded were cocultured with PANC1 cells (20∶1) for 2, 6 and 10 hours to determine the highest killing rate dosage of CD 3/KIF20A antibody loaded cells. DC-T cells and DC-T cells, vcDC-T cells loaded with the highest killing rate dosage of CD 3/KIF20A antibody were cocultured with PANC1 cells (20∶1) for 2, 6, 8, 10 and 12 hours. The aggregation effect of effector cells on target cells was observed under inverted microscope, the killing rate of tumor cells was detected by LDH method. Results:The molecular weight of CD 3/KIF20A antibody was 130 000 measured and validated by SDS gel electrophoresis. The ratio of CD 8+ CD 28+ and CD40L subsets of vcDC-T cells was increased [(47.6±15.8)% vs (38.2±7.6)%, (52.1±4.9)% vs (44.7±3.2)% ] compared with that of DC-T cells, the ratio of negative regulatory cells (Treg) was decreased [(4.3±0.8)% vs (8.3±1.1)%]; the release of IL-2, IFN-γ and IL-12 was increased [(201.2±17.3) ng/L, (163.4±13.1)ng/L, (303.3±22.6)ng/L vs 221.8±17.6)ng/L, (190.4±11.7)ng/L vs (80.3±8.6)ng/L]. All the differences were statistically significant ( P<0.01). 100 ng CD 3/KIF20A loaded T cells were observed under microscope, which obviously targeted KIF20A + pancreatic cancer PANC1 cells and had a strongest killing power. At the killing cells to targeting cells ratio of 20∶1 with 4-hour coculture, the killing rate of CD 3/KIF20A-vcDC-T cells on PANC1 cells was (88.6±2.6)%, which was significantly higher than (68.4±3.4)% and (39.2±2.1)% in the CD3/KIF20A-DC-T group and (39.2±2.1)% in the DC-T group, increasing by 20% and at lease 45%, respectively. Conclusions:DC-T cells loaded with CD 3/KIF20A antibody can significantly increase the killing rate of KIF20A positive pancreatic cancer PANC1 cells, and vitamin C intervention can further enhance the killing ability of antibody loaded T cells.
