Basic & Clinical Medicine 2006;0(06):-
Objective To clone human neural RNA binding protein HuC cDNA,express and purify the recombinant human HuC(Hu antigen C)protein in E.coli.Method Human HuC cDNA was cloned by RT-PCR.HuC cDNA was inserted into the prokaryotic expression vector pGEX-4T-3.The recombinant protein HuC was expressed in E.coli BL-21,and purified by the GST Sepharose 4B affinity column.Results The(62 ku) recombinant GST-HuC fusion protein was obtained.Conclusion The recombinant human HuC protein was successfully prokaryotic expressed and purified.
4. The clinical role of increase of serum matrix metalloproteinase-8 concentration in patients with acute coronary syndrome
Academic Journal of Xi'an Jiaotong University 2008;20(4):242-245
Objective: To study the clinical role of the variation of serum matrix metalloproteinase-8 (MMP-8) concentration in patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS). Methods: ELISA method was adopted to detect serum MMP-8 concentration and to observe concentration's differences and features among 80 selected ACS cases (43 acute myocardial infarction and 37 unstable angina pectoris), 43 stable angina pectoris (SAP) cases and 37 control cases. And meanwhile the atherosclerosis risk factors of each case, such as age, sex, hypertension, body mass index, smoking, family history, diabetes, and hyperlipidemia were collected and analyzed as a whole. Results: First, serum MMP-8 concentration reached the highest point in ACS, and there was significant difference between SAP and control groups (P<0.01). Second, serum MMP-8 in AMI was much higher than that in UAP with significant difference (P<0.01). There was no difference between UAP and SAP groups (P>0.05). Third, Logistic regression analysis revealed that serum MMP-8 concentration might be the indicator of ACS (B=4.493, P=0.000), particularly, that of AMI (B=9.961, P=0.000). Fourth, linear correlation and linear regression analysis found that only neutrophil was likely to influence serum MMP-8 concentration (r=0.274, P=0.001). Fifth, in the diagnosis of ACS, the area under ROC curve of MMP-8 was 0.785, the sensitivity and specificity were 68.6% and 76.5%, respectively. Conclusion: 1 Serum MMP-8 concentration has close relationship with the occurrence of ACS, particularly with AMI; 2 Serum MMP-8 concentration may be one of the predicting indicators of ACS and particularly of AMI; 3 Neutrophil may be correlated with serum MMP-8 concentration; 4 MMP-8 is of somewhat valuable in diagnosing ACS.

Hepatitis C virus(HCV)is the major etiology of non-A,non-B hepatitis.At present,neither a vaccine nor any effective therapy is available.Multi-epitope DNA vaccine(minigenes/epigenes)is a novel nucleic acid vaccine which can induces high effective cellular and humoral immune responses and has good perspective in clearing Hepatitis C virus through screening and assembling optimal antigen epitope genes(T cell、B cell epitope included).It is advanced in covering more HCV subtypes,inducing comprehensive anti-HCV immune responses and reducing the negative influence caused by irrelevant,disturbing and suppressive sequence as far as possible through selecting the most potential protective epitopes in DNA vaccine design.The recent research progress on HCV compound multi-epitope DNA vaccine and future prospects were reviewed.
