AIM: To observe the effect of exogenous androgen responsive element decoy on the promoter of prostate specific antigen (PSA) and the growth of LNCaP cells for searching the possibility of gene therapy for prostate cancer. METHODS: Firstly, pGL3 - PSA luciferase expression vector containing 640bp - promoter fragment of PSA gene was constructed. Then, a 23 -mer phosphorothioated ARE decoy based on the deduced ARE sequence at the promoter region of PSA gene was synthesized. pGL3 - PSA and ARE decoy DNA were cotransfected into PC3 - M cell by lipofectamineTM 2000. Through detecting the activity of luciferase, the effect of ARE decoy on the promoter of PSA was studied. Then the ARE decoy DNA was transfected into LNCaP cells. The effect of decoy DNA on the proliferation of LNCaP cells was examined by using MTT assay. The effects of apoptosis were detected by phase contrast microscopy, DNA agrose gel electrophoresis and flow cytometry. Meanwhile, the nuclear extract was prepared from LNCaP cells and DNA - protein interactions were examined by electrophoretic mobility shift assay (EMSA). RESULTS: The reporter assay showed that the aetivity of luciferase was significantly reduced in the ARE decoy - transfected cells, bnt not in the cells transfected with the control decoy. EMSA demonstrated specific binding of the ARE decoy to androgen receptor. The growth of LNCaP was remarkably inhibited and apoptotic morphological changes as well as DNA fragmentation were observed in the ARE decoy- transfected cells. The rate of apoptosis was 22.4% detected by FCM. CONCLUSION: The ARE decoy is capable of inhibiting the promoter of PSA gene and inducing the apoptosis in prostate cancer cells. It may become a potential therapeutic tool for prostate cancers.

Objective:To evaluate the ability of light dispersive colorimetry to detect hemoglobin (Hb) in lipid blood samples and its feasibility as an alternative to plasmapheresis commonly used in the laboratory.Methods:Routine blood samples of 276 inpatients in Fujian Provincial Hospital from July 2020 to July 2021 were collected. Routine blood samples of 276 inpatients were collected. There were 169 males and 107 females, aged from 16 to 97 years. 183 non-lipid blood samples and 93 lipid blood samples were collected.(1) One case each of low, medium and high Hb value in non-lipid blood and lipid blood samples were collected, and the precision and the linearity of light scattering method was detected.(2)Non-lipid blood samples divided into Hb low-value group, median-value group and high-value group, which were measured by light scattering method and colorimetric method to compare Hb values. (3)Non-lipid blood samples were divided into Hb low-value group, median-value group and high-value group. Plasma exchange was carried out with different concentrations of fat emulsion. The bias and linearity of Hbc2 and Hbc1, Hbo2 and Hbc1 were analyzed by MedCalc19.1 software. The Hbc2 and Hbc1 bias ( CV%) and Hbo2 and Hbc1 bias ( CV%) were calculated. T test was used to analyze the influence of different concentrations of triglyceride on Hb bias.(4)Blood samples were divided into Hb low-value group, median-group and high-value group. The Hb of light scattering method was compared with the colorimetric method after plasma exchange. Results:(1)The intrabatch precision of light scattering method for non-lipid blood and lipid blood specimens was within the allowable range ( CV<1.5%), and the good linearity ( R2=1.000).(2)The bias of Hb measured by light scattering method and colorimetric method in the three groups was below 3.5%(-0.58±2.34,0.16±1.52,1.15±1.56), within the allowable total error range. The two methods have the equivalence and good linear relationship ( r=0.999).(3)The concentrations of Hbo2 in the low (except 4.1 mmol/L), medium and high Hbo2 groups were equivalent to those in the non-lipid blood colorimetry (Hbc1), and the two methods were well correlated. The results of light scattering method have nothing to do with the concentration of lipid blood.(4)There was no significant difference of the Hb between the light scattering method and plasma exchange method in three groups ( P>0.05), Both of them have equivalence and good correlation ( R2=0.968,0.948,0.870). Conclusion:Light scattering method can effectively reduce the effect of lipid blood on hemoglobin determination, and can replace the traditional plasma exchange method, which has high clinical application value.
