Objective To construct short hairpin RNA (shRNA) expression plasmids against the inhibitor of differentiation 2 (Id2) gene and establish a suitable cell model for the role of Id2 in proliferation and differentiation of human Ewing sarcoma cell.Methods Three shRNA sequences targeting Id2 gene were designed and inserted into the pGPU6/GFP/Neo (-shRNA-Id2) expression vectors.The recombinant pGPU6/GFP/Neo-shRNA-Id2 plasmids were introduced into Ewing sarcoma RD-ES cells by liposome-mediated transfection.The knock-down efficiency of Id2 in infected RD-ES cells was verified by Western blot assay.The cell growth and cell cycle changes were evaluated by cell counting and flow cytometry between transfected cells and control cells.Results The Id2 expression decreased 54 % and 57 %,respectively,in RD-ES cell line which were transfected with the shRNA-Id2-543 and shRNA-Id2-593 plasmids compared with the control group cells by Western blot analysis.The cell growth assay demonstrated that the cell number in transfected cells was significantly decreased during 6-7 d compared with the control group (P < 0.05).The cells at the S-phase of cell cycle were increased [(36.60±1.53) % and (44.89E2.46) % vs (29.73±2.03) %,P < 0.05],and no significant changes at the G2 phase or even reduction in the transfected cells.Conclusions Id2 stable knock-down cell lines are successfully established.The reduced expression of Id2 is related with decreased cell growth and cell cycle arrest in the S-phase.Id2 maybe plays an important role in proliferation of Ewing sarcoma cell.

Background and purpose:Connective tissue growth factor(CTGF) is a member of CCN family,it has been reported that CTGF involve in many biological processes and various pathological conditions.In our study,the correlation of CTGF expression and biological effects on breast cancer cell lines were investigated.Methods:The eukaryotic expression vectors containing CTGF open reading frame(ORF) pcDNA3.0/CTGF were constructed and transfected into breast cancer cell lines.The relationship between CTGF expression and breast cancer cell growth ability and proliferation,cell cycle distribution,apoptosis,cell motility and invasive capacity in vitro were observed.Results:Upregulation of CTGF expression in MCF-7 cell line could inhibit its growth ability and proliferation,increased the proportion of G0G1 phase cells,enhanced apoptosis and inhibited its invasive ability in vitro.Downregulation of CTGF expression in MDA-MB-231 cell line increased its growth ability and proliferation,decreased apoptosis and promoted its invasive ability in vitro.There were no differences of cell motility among different groups in MCF-7 and MDA-MB-231 cell lines.Conclusions:CTGF can inhibit breast cancer cell growth by increasing cell apoptosis and/or the proportion of cells in G0G1 phase.CTGF can also inhibit breast cancer cell invasive ability.

Objective:To compare the clinical value of early enteral nutrition(EEN) with total parenteral nutrition(TPN) in postoperative elder patients with esophageal and cardiac cancer. Methods: 102 cases of postoperative elder patients with esophageal and cardiac cancer were randomly divided into EEN group(n=51)and TPN group(n=51).The weight loss,serum albumin, prealbumin,liver function were measured before operation and on the eighth day after operation. The anal exsufflation time, infectious complication, duration of hospital stay and treatment cost were observed. Results: The weight loss in EEN group were less than those of TPN group(P<0.05). The levels of ALT, AST, BIL and GGT in EEN group on the eighth day after operation was lower than those in TPN group(P<0.05). The anal exsufflation time and duration of hospital stay in EEN group were shorter than those of TPN group(P<0.05). The treatment cost of EEN group was significantly less than that of TPN group(P<0.05). The infectious complication rate of EEN group was lower than that of TPN group(P<0.05). Conclusion: EEN in postoperative elder patients with esophageal and cardiac cancer can decrease the postoperative infectious complication and the treatment cost, shorten the duration of hospital stay, improve nutritional status and recovery of gastrointestinal function with less side effects of liver function.

Objective: To study the axonal effect and the expression of integrin α6β4 during Schwann cell(SC) differentiation and myelination. Methods: Schwann cells were dissociated from the sciatic nerve of neonatal Waster rats and neurons dissociated from spinal cord. Singal cultures and purified populations of SC were cocultured with NC. Four methods (contrast microscope, scanning electron microscopy(SEM), immunocytochemistry method and in situ hybridization ) were used. Results: The separately cultured Schwann cells showed MBP negetive by immunocytochemistry method. But cocultured SC were shown positive. SEM showed that Schwann cells' membrane loop progressively circumnavigated around the axon during myelination, which suggested that the non-myelinating SC(nMSC) transformed to myelinating SC (MSC). In situ hybridization showed integrin α6β4 positive signals only on the outer surface of the Schwann cell-axon unit in SC coculture with NC. Conclusion: The differentiation and maturation of SC depend on axon, and the activity of integrins is expressed by axon. Axonal contact induces the expression of α6β4 during SC myelination, which suggests that integrin α6β4 is an important mediator of interactions of myelinating SC with the basal limina.

AIM: To investigate the effect of huayu xiaoliu fang, a Chinese medicine, on the cell cycle of human lung carcinoma cell line by serologic pharmacological method. METHODS: PGLH7 cells were incubated with rabbit serum containing huayu xiaoliu fang at different doses obtained by serologic pharmacological method. MTT assay was used to calculate the proliferation inhibition rate. The target cells were harvested to analyze the cell cycles by flow cytometry. RESULTS: The Chinese medicine-containing serum inhibited the growth of PGLH7 cells significantly. There was remarkable difference in the proliferation inhibition rate between 10% (high dose) Chinese medicine-containing serum and the control serum (P

OBJECTIVETo explore the effects of LASS2/TMSG1 silencing on the growth, invasion and metastasis of prostate carcinoma cells and to investigate the related molecular mechanisms.
METHODSLASS2/TMSG1 expression of human prostate carcinoma cell line with low metastatic potentiality (PC-3M-2B4 cells) was knocked down using DNA vector-based small interfering RNA (shRNA), followed by evaluations of tumor cell invasion and metastasis.
RESULTSA stable PC-3M-2B4 cell line with expression of LASS2/TMSG1-shRNA was successfully established. MTT assay showed PC-3M-2B4 cells exhibited a strong proliferation after transfection of LASS2/TMSG1-shRNA.LASS2/TMSG1-shRNA transfected clones demonstrated an increased clonogenicity by soft agar colony formation assay and a significant increase of tumor cell invasion by matrigel invasion study.Flow cytometry showed that after LASS2/TMSG1 gene silencing, the apoptotic rate of PC-3M-2B4 cell significantly decreased (P<0.01) without significant cell cycle change (P>0.05).Eight weeks after implantation into subcutaneous tissues in BAL B/c (nu+) mice, the size and weight of sh-LASS2/TMSG1 xenografts were significantly larger than those of the control group (P<0.05).Nuclear proliferation index of the subcutaneous tumor was also higher in the LASS2/TMSG1 shRNA group than those in the control group. Lymph node metastasis was observed in 5 of 6 mice of LASS2/TMSG1 shRNA group and only 1 of 6 of the control group. V-ATPase activity, activities of secreted MMP-2 and MMP-9 and extracellular hydrogen ion concentration were significantly increased in LASS2/TMSG1-shRNA group compared with the control group (P<0.05).
CONCLUSIONSilencing of LASS2/TMSG1 promotes the growth, invasion and metastasis of prostate cancer cells through up-regulation of V-ATPase activity, indicating that LASS2/TMSG1 is a tumor metastasis suppressor gene.

Objective:
To study the relationship between morphological characteristics, grading, diagnosis and prognosis in phyllodes tumors (PT) of the breast.
Methods:
A retrospective study was carried out on 83 PTs diagnosed between 1999 and 2003 that were classified semi-quantitatively according to the WHO recommendation. Follow-up data was available for some cases, and Cox regression analysis was used to evaluate factors affecting metastasis and recurrence.
Results:
All cases were classified into the benign (57.8%), borderline (28.9%) and malignant (13.3%). The overall recurrence rate for the 72 cases with follow-up data was 20.8% (15/72), and was 17.5% (7/40) in benign, 22.7% (5/22) in borderline and 3/10 in malignant PT, respectively, with no significant difference (
