The vectors play an important role in gene therapy by transporting the therapy genes into target tumor cells. At present there are mainly two kinds of gene vectors, including biological and non-biological vectors. Biological vectors, including virus, bacteria and stem cells, have good target activity and can efficiently delivery the genes into target tumor cells, but have potential genetic hazards.However, non-biological vectors, including liposomes and nanoparticles, can be simplely prepared with high genetic safety, but they can not transport the genes efficiently. Therefore, establishing safe and effective malignant glioma gene treatment system and finding gene vectors with good target activity become the research focus.

Objective To observe the toxic effects of mercuric chloride (HgCl2) on the productive function of male mice with lower dosage exposune. Methods 4 week-aged male ICR mice were randomly divided into 3 exposure groups, and control group. The 3 exposure groups were treated with doses of 0.25, 0.50, 1.00 mg/kg HgCl2 by peritoneal injection respectively, one time per 3 days, 10 times in total. After exposure to HgCl2 for 50 days, the male mice were mated with female mice non-exposed to HgCl2 in a ratio 1∶2. The pregnant rate, number of pups whelped per group, body weight of offspring, testis index, sperm count, sperm motility rate, abnormal sperm rate were observed. Results The pregnant rates were 100%, 100%, 83.33% and 66.67% for control group, 0.25 mg/kg group, 0.50 mg/kg group and 1.00 mg/kg group respectively during 1-week conception, 100%, 100%, 83.33% and 75% for above corresponding groups respectively during 3-weeks conception respectively. The pregnant rate of 1.00 mg/kg group was significantly lower than that of control during 1-week conception (P

Objective To explore the probable mechanism of tinnitus and the accompanied symptoms us-ing RS-FMRI. Methods We recruited 10 adults with chronic tinnitus and 10 health adults for fMRI in the resting state. Then we compared the differences of regional homogeneity(REHO)maps and functional connectivity to the whole-brain maps with the auditory cortex as a region of interest between the two groups. Results The REHO maps of tinnitus group showed significant differences in the automated anatomical labeling brain map including the middle frontal_gyrus (right),superior frontal_gyrus (left),entorhinal cortex_(right),middle occipital_gyrus (right),middle occipital gyrus(bilateral),lingual gyrus(left)and cuneate lobe(left). The functional connectivity maps of tinnitus group showed significant differences in lingal_gyrus(left)of AAL brain regions. The p threshold value was<0.001 in all results. Conclusion Tinnitus may cause abnormal neural activity in several non-auditory brain regions,which may be the neurophysiological mechanism of tinnitus accompanied symptoms.

Objective · To study the regulation of hsa-miRNA124-3p on the proliferation and migration of human lung cancer NCI-H460 cells and its mechanism. Methods · Four pairs of lung cancer and para-carcinoma tissues were harvested in clinical and measured for hsa-miRNA124-3p and Krüppellike factor 4 (KLF4) levels. The theoretical binding site of hsa-miRNA124-3p in 3'-UTR of KLF4 was predicted by bioinformatics, and validated by luciferase report assay. NCI-H460 cells were transfected with pshRNA-Sponge-miRNA124 or pshRNA-KLF4, and 48 hours later, the proliferation of NCI-H460 cells after genetic intervention was assayed by the MTT method, and cell migration ability was observed by streak method. Results · For all four pairs of samples tested, hsa-miRNA124-3p was higher in the cancer tissues than in the adjacent tissue (P<0.01), and KLF4 protein was lower in the cancer tissues than in the adjacent tissue (P<0.01). The bioinformatic analysis showed there is a theoretical binding site (5'-UGCCUUAA-3') of hsa-miRNA124-3p in 3'-UTR of KLF4. Luciferase activity assay showed that hsa-miRNA124-3p could bind to the 3'-UTR region of KLF4 gene and negatively regulate the expression of protein. The proliferation of NC-H460 cells was suppressed by transfection with pshRNA-Sponge-miRNA12472 h after transfection (P<0.05 ). Compared with the control group, the proliferation activity of pshRNA-KLF4 transfection group was further enhanced (P<0.05) There was no significant difference in the proliferation of pshRNA-Sponge-miRNA124 and pshRNA-KLF4 cotransfection group and the control group (P>0.05). The data of cell migration assay showed that the changes of cell migration ability were the same as proliferation activity of the cells in groups 72 h after transfection. Conclusion · Hsa-miRNA124-3p increases the proliferation and migration in NCI-H460 cells via suppressing the expression of KLF4, and reducing the content of miRNA124-3p in NC-H460 cells can inhibit cell proliferation and migration via upregulating KLF4 expression.

Objective:To study the effect of interleukin-11(IL-11),ciliary neurotropic factor (CNTF) and transforming growth factor-β (TGF-β) on the hGH gene promoter activity in rat pituitary MtT/S cells and the interaction with pituitary-specific transcription factor Pit-1.Methods:Stable transformed MtT/S cell line which contains hGH gene promoter -484-30 bp and luciferase reporter gene firstly established,then the concentration of GH in the medium and lysate of MtT/S cells and luciferase activities in MtT/S cells were measured after treatment these cells with the above cytokines,the effects of cytokines on secretion and synthesis of GH,and the promoter activity of the hGH gene were observed.Results:The results showed that IL-11(20 nmol/L),CNTF(10 nmol/L) and TGF-β(5 nmol/L) regulated secretion and synthesis of GH,and the luciferase expression in stable transformed MtT/S cells.IL-11 and CNTF had the stimulatory effect,whereas TGF-β had the inhibitory effect.Neither overexpression of Pit-1 nor inhibiting Pit-1 expression affected the regulatory role of these cytokines.Conclusion:IL-11,CNTF and TGF-β regulate the GH production in pituitary MtT/S cell line by regulating the hGH gene promoter activity.Pit-1 may not be involved in these actions.
