Chinese Journal of Behavioral Medicine and Brain Science 2015;24(10):888-891
Objective To explore the effect of the different doses of oxytocin(OXT) on stress model aggressive behaviour in Wistar rats.Methods According to random number table,40 pregnant rats were divided into experimental stress groups (A, B, C) and control group(D) with 10 samples in each group.Before forced swimming test, rats in experimental groups (A, B, C)were given OXT via intraperitoneal injection with 0.3 mg/kg, 1.0 mg/kg,2.0 mg/kg;rats in group D were given equal volume of normal saline in the same way.At the 3rd day all rats were tested with maternal aggression,including mothers' following indices as total aggression times,biting times,pinning times,attack latency and duration of attack.Elevated plus maze (EPM) test was applied to analyze the behavioral changes.Results In terms of the duration of attack and attack latency,the indexes of group A and group D were significantly different from relevant data ((147.60±23.92) s and(79.70±9.88) s, P<0.05), while other indexes had no difference(P>0.05).The duration of attack and attack latency had a significant difference ((3.10±0.87) times, (13.60±5.14)times, (91.30±9.74)s and(167.20±30.02) s, P<0.01) between group B and group D except total aggression times(P>0.05).Group C and group D in given indexes had significant differences showing (6.40± 1.34) times, (15.10±4.35) times, (23.70±3.46) times, (49.80± 5.53) s and (215.60± 39.55) s (P<0.01).Group A and group B in given indexes had significant differences (P< 0.05);and group B and group C had a significant difference (P<0.01)except pinning times(P>0.05).In EPM ,the open arm entry ratio and the open arm time ratio of both group A and group D were significantly different from respective percentage (0.47±0.13) and (0.13±0.05) (P<0.01).The significant difference was found in group B and group D(P<0.01);group A and group B had a statistical difference(P<0.05);there was no difference in both groups in open arm time ratio(P>0.05).Conclusion Oxytocin potentially mediates maternal aggression by attenuating stress, and improves the intimate bonding between mother and pups,which means dose dependency of OXT in this process.
3.The Role of MicroRNAs in Lung Cancer
Chinese Journal of Clinical Oncology 2009;36(23):1377-1380
MicroRNAs (miRNAs or miRs) are a class of small non-protein-coding RNAs, approximately 18 to 25 nt long. MicroRNAs can act as endogenous RNA interference. MicroRNAs can posttranscriptionally regulate the expression of hundreds of their target genes, controlling a wide range of biological functions such as cellular proliferation, differentiation, and apoptosis. MicroRNAs can posttranscdptionally regulate the expression of genes by hybridizing to complementary sequences in 3' UTR (3' untranslated region) of target messenger RNA (mRNA), repressing the translation of mRNA or increasing the instability of mRNA. A number of miRNAs are mapped to cancer-associated fragile regions (FRAs) as well as in minimal regions of loss of heterozygosity, minimal regions of amplification, or common breakpoint regions in the genome, suggesting that miRNAs might be involved in tumorigenesis. Many miRNAs are up or down-regulated in cancers as potential oncogene or tumor suppressors. It has been considered that the mutation of a series of oncogene or anti-oncogene gradually causes tumorigenesis. The conventional points of view were changed with the finding of non-protein-coding RNAs. MiRNA as members of non-protein-coding RNAs may play an important role in regulating tumor formation. Recent studies have in-vestigated the relationship of miRNAs with neoplasia, development, treatment and prognosis. Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer-related deaths all over the world. Its etiology is primarily genetic and epigenetic damage caused by tobacco smoke. Systematic analysis of RNA and protein expression levels of thousands of genes has also contributed to defining the molecular net work of lung carcinogenesis. MiRNAs are closely related to lung cancer and play an important part in the diagnosis, therapy, surveillance and prognosis of lung cancer. We reviewed some miRNAs closely associated with lung cancer such as miRNA-126, miRNA-221, miRNA-222, has-mir-221, a polycistronic microRNA cluster miR-17-92, miRNA-128b, has-mir-137, has-mir-182, has-mir-372 and miRNA let-7. We summarized the roles of miRNAs in the genetic susceptibility, invasion or metastasis, diagnosis, therapy and prognosis of lung cancer.

Objective To study the influence of artesunate (Akt) on the proliferation and apoptosis of human head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC), and to explore its molecular mechanism thereof. Methods The HNSCC cell line,UM-SCC-10A cells, was cultured in vitro. The Inhibitory concentration 50 (IC50) was examined by MTT assay. The cell mor?phological changes were observed under inverted light micro-scope after being interfered by 0, 2.5, 5, 10, 20 and 40μmol/L Akt. Cell cycle changes and apoptosis were measured by flow cytometry. And the expression of cell cycle regulators and apop?totic associated protein were detected by Western blot assay. Results MTT assay demonstrated that Akt significantly inhib?ited the proliferation of UM-SCC-10A cells in dose-dependent manner. After UM-SCC-10A cells were treated with Akt for 48 h, IC50 was 15.01μmol/L. Morphological changes of cell apoptosis such as karyopyknosis and conglomeration were ob?served by Hoechst 33258 staining. Flow cytometry showed that the apoptosis was associated with cell cycle arrest during the G1 phase. Western blot analysis showed that p53 and p21 protein was up-regulated and Cyclin D protein was down-regulat?ed. Furthermore, results revealed that Bcl-2 associated X protein induced by a mitochondrial pathway, cytochrome C and caspase-3 were up-regulated, and Bcl-2 and procaspase-3 were down-regulated. The mitochondrial membrane potential was reduced. Conclusion Artesunate can induce apoptosis of UM-SCC-10A cells via a mitochondrial pathway, which was associated with cell cycle arrest in the G1 phase. As a result, artesunate has an obvious inhibitory effects on proliferation of UM-SCC-10A cells.

Objective To screen and identify proteins interacting with hematopoietic stem/progenitor cell differentiation-related gene HSPC016, and to explore the molecular mechanism involved in the regulation by HSPC016 on the aggregative behavior of dermal papilla cells. Methods By using yeast two-hybridization,HSPC016 gene was sub-cloned into pGBKT7 to construct the bait plasmid (named as pGBKT7-HSPC016) in yeast AH109. The cDNA yeast expression library of human dermal papillae cells in yeast Y187 was screened with the bait plasmid and the proteins interacting with HSPC016 were identified. Yeast two-hybridization retransformation experiment was conducted to exclude the false positive clones and verify the interactions, then,the positive clones were sequenced and analyzed by using bioinformatic methods. Results The bait plasmid pGBKT7-HSPC016 was constructed successfully and there was no self-activation in or toxicity against yeast AH 109. Four proteins,including forkhead family of transcription factors (FOXO 1 ), mitogen-activated protein kinase 11 (MAPK 11 ), phosphoinositide-3-kinase (PIK3R3) and liver X receptor were screened and identified. Bioinformatic analysis revealed that these proteins had close relationship with intracellular energy metabolism and translational regulation. Conclusions HSPC016 may regulate the aggregative behavior of DPCs by regulating the levels of intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS) and interacting with signaling molecules involved in intracellular energy metabolism and translational regulation.
