Objective:To investigate the differentially expressed genes of gastric mucosa of precancerous lesion of chronic atrophic gastritis (CAG) in rats intervented by promoting blood flow therapy of TCM,and to analyze its mechanism at genetic level. Methods:The model of precancerous lesion of CAG rats was induced by spring insertion and intragastric administration of NaCl solution and hot paste. To detect the differentially expressed genes of precancerous lesion of CAG rats by gene chip technology,and the main differentially expressed genes were indentified by real-time PCR. Results:Compared with blank group,HSP70 and ptk2 significantly reduced in natural recovery group,the HSP70 expression increased signifi cantly after being treated with supplementing qi for promoting blood flow,and ptk2 expression increased obviously after being treated with regulating qi and promoting blood flow. The results of real-time PCR in expression level of HSP70mRNA and ptk2mRNA were the same as that of the gene chip technology. Conclusion:Supplementing qi for promoting blood flow can upregulate HSP70,thus inhibit precancerous lesion of CAG in rat gastric mucosal cell apoptosis and promote mucosal repair; Regulating qi and promoting blood flow can up-regulate ptk2,sequentially regular remodeling of actin cytoskeleton and promote repairing and healing of injury gastric mucosal. These may be one of mechanism that supplementing qi for promoting blood flow and regulating qi and promoting blood flow treat precancerous lesion of CAG.

Objective To investigate the radiosensitization effect of antihelminthic niclosamide on human triple-negative breast cancer MDA-MB-231 cells and the potential mechanism related to Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway.Methods Four methyl thiazolyl tetrazolium(MTT) assay was used to measure the effect of niclosamide on cell viability at different concentrations and 50% inhibitory concentration(IC50)value was calculated.MDA-MB-231 cells were divided into 4 groups:untreated control,niclosamide treatment alone group,radiation alone group and niclosamide plus radiation treatment group.The cells with or without 1.0 and 1.5 μmol/L niclosamide pre-treatment were irradiated with 137Cs γ-rays at doses of 0,2,4 and 6 Gy.Cell survival was assayed with the colony formation method,radiation-induced γH2AX foci was analyzed with immunofluorescence,cell cycle progression was assayed with flow cytometry,and the changes of phospho-and non-phospho-β-catenin and Cyclin D1 protein expressions were measured with Western blot.Results Niclosamde obviously inhibited the viability of MDA-MB-231 cells in a dosedependent manner with a IC50 value of 13.63 μmol/L.Pretreatment of cells with 1.0 and 1.5 μmol/L niclosamide evidently enhanced the radiosensitivity of MDA-MB-231 cells to γ-rays,and the values of SER were 1.37 and 1.62,respectively.Niclosamide pretreatment significantly increased radiation-induced γH2AX foci formation(t =3.91,P <0.05),diminished the radiation-induced G2/M arrest(t =8.05,P <0.01),and inhibited radiation-induced expressions of phospho-β-catenin (S675),non-phospho-β-catenin and Cyclin D1 proteins in MDA-MB-231 cells.Conclusions Niclosamide significantly can enhance the sensitivity of MDA-MB-231 cells to γ-ray irradiation through inhibiting Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway,which results in the inhibition of DNA DSBs repair and the reduction of radiation-induced G2/M arrest.Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway may serve as an ideal molecular target for radiosensitization of triplenegative breast cancer.

Objective To evaluate the potential feasibility of γ-H2AX foci as a biodosimetry after exposure to ionizing radiation by comparing DNA double-strand break repair kinetics in rat blood lymphocytes with that in human lymphocytes.Methods Peripheral blood lymphocytes separated from Sprague-Dawley(SD) male rats and healthy adults were exposed to γ-rays,and some rats were also subjected to total body irradiation.The inductions of DNA repair-related foci of γ-H2AX,pATM (S1981) and pDNA-PKcs (T2609) were detected with immunofluorescence staining technique at different time points post-irradiation,and the status of their co-localization was analyzed.Results The induction kinetics of γ-H2AX foci in rat lymphocytes was similar to that observed in human lymphocytes.The frequencies of γ-H2AX foci peaked at 30 min after γ-ray irradiation (trst =62.64,th =28.52,P < 0.05),then decreased rapidly after 6 h post-irradiation (trat =45.96,th =14.80,P <0.05),and the residual foci number remained only about 3%-8% of its maximal value at 24 h post-irradiation.At 30 min after γ-ray irradiation,the frequencies of pATM (S1981) and pDNA-PKcs (T2609) foci in rat and human lymphocytes significantly higher than those of nonirradiated control (trat =21.05,25.80,th =11.07,29.52,P < 0.05),and the frequencies of co-localization of pATM (S1981) or pDNA-PKcs (T2609) foci with γ-H2AX foci also markedly increased by 26%-32% in irradiated lymphocytes of rat and human (trat =5.34,9.14,thuman =18.32,51.28,P <0.05).Moreover,γ-H2AX foci incidence in rat lymphocytes in vitro was consistent with that induced by total body irradiation of rat.The number of γ-H2AX foci in irradiated rat lymphocytes increased with irradiation dose in a linear dose-dependent manner,its slope was similar to that of irradiated human lymphocytes reported by other laboratory.Conclusions Rat is a useful animal model to evaluate radiation biodosimetry with γ-H2AX foci in lymphocytes.The co-activation of ATM and DNA-PK plays an important role in DSB repair in the irradiated lymphocytes of rat and human.
