China Pharmacy 2016;27(25):3471-3474
OBJECTIVE:To investigate the function change of intestinal CYP3A4 and P-glycoprotein (P-gp) under diabetic conditions and its mechanism. METHODS:Caco-2 cells were respectively added with 25, 50 and 100 μmol/L midazolam (CYP3A4 probe substrate) for incubation for 15,30,60,120,180 min;with 0.1,0.2,0.4 μg/ml rhodamine 123 (P-gp sub-strate)for incubation for 15,30,60,90,120 min to determine the substrate concentrations and incubation time. Caco-2 cells were added with insulin,glucose and fatty acid (palmitic acid and oleic acid) at different concentrations,and then the production of 1′-OH-midazolam,the metabolite of midazolam,and the intake of rhodamine 123 were determined,in order to investigated the ef-fect on the function of CYP3A4 and P-gp. RESULTS:The optimal substrate concentrations and incubation time were as follows as 50 μmol/L midazolam,0.1 μg/ml rhodamine 123 and incubation for 2 h. With the increase in the concentration of insulin,glucose and palmitic acid,the production of 1′-OH-midazolam and the activity of CYP3A4 reduced;the intake of rhodamine 123 in-creased,and the efflux transport function of P-gp decreased. Oleic acid had no significant effect on the production of 1′-OH-mid-azolam or the intake of rhodamine 123. CONCLUSIONS:Under diabetes condition,the increase of insulin,glucose and palmitic acid may reduce the function of CYP3A4 and P-gp,while oleic acid has no effect on the function.

To study a method for determination of sulfamethoxazole, sulfadiazine and trimethoprim tablets, a compound tablet of sulfamethoxazole, sulfadiazine and trimethoprim. METHOD: A capillary zone electrophoresis (CZE) method was used to assay three components of this compound preparation. RESULTS: The complete separation of components was achieved with 0.05 molL-1 pH 6.0 running phosphate buffer and a constant voltage of 20 kV (current of 95 μA~105 μA). The retention times of individual components were between three and eight minutes and a good linearity was shown between concentration and peak area in the concentration range over 70 μgml-1~750 μgml-1. When acetanilide was used as internal standard, the relative standard deviation (RSD) of each component determined in a batch was less than 1% (n=9). The recovery of each component was not less than 96.45% with RSD less than 3%. The analytical results obtained from 6 samples of clinical use were inconsistent with those by standard method, however the quantity of each sulfa drug was obtained by CZE method. CONCLUSION: The results showed this method is accurate, simple, and rapid. When this method is used, the quantity of each three components is determined, but by the standard method, only the total quantity of the two sulfa drugs is obtained.

Background and purpose:P38 mitogen-activated protein kinase (P38MAPK) signal transduction pathway is involved in occurrence, development and transfer process in a wide variety of tumors. Urokinase-type plasminogen activator (uPA) plays an important role in tumor invasion and metastasis. This study aimed to explore the clinical signiifcance of the P38MAPK signaling pathway and the expression of uPA in ovarian cancer.Methods:The expressions of uPA, P38MAPK, ERK and AKT were detected in 49 cases of cervical adenocarcinoma by immunohistochemistry. The expressions of uPA and P38MAPK were detected by Western blot in ovarian cancer cell lines HO8910, HO-8910PM, SKOV3 and CAOV3. The changes of uPA and P38MAPK were detected by SB203580, a speciifc inhibitor of P38MAPK signal transduction pathway.Results:The result of immunohistochemical method showed that positive expression rates for uPA, P38MAPK, ERK and AKT were 61.22%, 57.14%, 53.06% and 55.10%, respectively. The expression of the uPA was positively correlated with the P38MAPK (r=0.865,P=0.001), and related with clinicopathologic stage, differentiated degree, lymph node metastasis, but not related with age and histologic type (P>0.05). The expressions of AKT and ERK were related with the lymph node metastasis and greater omentum metastasis(P<0.05), but not related with age and histologic type (P>0.05). The expression of uPA in HO-8910PM was higher than that in ovarian cancer cell lines HO8910, SKOV3 and CAOV3, and the expression of uPA reduced when the P38MAPK signal transduction pathway was cut off by the SB203580. The expressions of P38MAPK and uPA were negatively correlated with the prognosis of ovarian cancer (Log-rank=3.897 and 11.044,P=0.048 and 0.001). Conclusion:The P38MAPK signal transduction pathway was activated in ovarian cancer. The activated P38MAPK signal transduction pathway can raise the expression of uPA, which may contribute to the development of ovarian cancer. The result indicates that the P38MAPK signal transduction pathway and uPA might play an important role in the invasion and metastasis of ovarian cancer. P38MAPK and uPA might be useful markers for evaluating prognosis of ovarian cancer.

Objective To identify and investigate B(A)02 allele in a patient. Methods Serological tests were performed with standard serological methods in a patient with B(A)02 allele. DNA sequences of all seven exons and exon-intron boundaries of ABO gene were analyzed by polymerase chain reaction (PCR), direct DNA sequencing and sequencing after gene cloning. In order to analyze the allele, PyMOL software was used to establish 3D model of Glycosyltransferases B (GTB). Results The serological results showed the characteristics of B(A) phenotype. DNA analysis revealed that ABO gene of the individual was heterozygous of B(A)02/O01 allele. 700C>G mutation was identified in B101 allele, which resulted in the amino acid substitution P234A in GTB. Through the analysis of the 3D structure of GTB, it was speculated that the P234A replacement affected the intermolecular forces of the 234 amino acid and Met-266, thus changed the conformation of the donor-binding pocket of GTB,that made GTB capable of recognizing and tranferring the GalNac to the H antigen, which can lead to the formation of the weak A antigen on membrane of red blood cells. Conclusion The P234A replacement can affect the spatial conformation of the specific recognition region conformed by Met-266 and Ala-268 residues, which leads to the antigenicity change of the ABO blood group.
