The Journal of Practical Medicine 2014;(12):1871-1874
Objective To observe the effects of silencing IGF-1 receptor on the expression of Caspase12 , a endoplasmic reticulum specificity apoptosis protein of the peroxidation damage in L02 cells. Methods Four the recombined plasmids expressing short hairpin RNA (shRNA) specific for sileincing IGF-1R gene were constructed and these shRNAs were potentially targeted on different mRNA sequences of the IGF-1 receptor gene (Sh-H-IG1R- 1108, Sh-H-IGF1R-2797, Sh-H-IGF1R-3215 and Sh-H-IGF1R-3787). These constructs were classed as the experimental group. Another two constructs containing an irrespective sequence and no sequence were defined as a positive control group a negative control group , respectively. All these constructs were transfected into the L02 cells by Lipefectamine 2000. The interference effect was detected by RT-PCR after 24 h and the plasmid stably silencing the expression of IGF-1 receptor was selected for further analysis which was divided into four groups: the blank control group(Group A), the peroxidation damage group(Group B), the negative plasmid transfection group (Group C) and the positive plasmid transfection group (Group D). The expression of Caspase12 was detected by Westen Blot after 12 h. Results The amplification folds of experimental groups were statistically significantly lower than those of the Sh-H-IGF1R-V1 group and Sh-H-IGF1R-V2 group (P < 0.05). The silence effect of the Sh-H-IGF1R-3215 group (0.02 ± 0.01) and the Sh-H-IGF1R-3787 group (0.05 ± 0.05) were most stable and the repeatability of the later was better. The expressions of Caspase12 in Group B (2.41 ± 0.03), Group C (2.45 ± 0.02) and Group D (3.60 ± 0.06) were higher than Group A (0.34 ± 0.02) (P < 0.01). The Group Cexpression was higher than that of the Group B (P > 0.05). The Caspase12 expression in Group D was higher than that in Group B and C (P < 0.01). Conclusion (1) Of all the four constructs in this study, Sh-H-IGF1R-3787 is the most suitable for silencing IGF-1 receptor. (2) Silencing IGF 1R expression using shRNA plasmids can aggravate the L02 cells apoptosis, suggesting that the IGF-1/IGF 1R signal pathway might be involved in regulating the activation of apoptosis in L02 cells with peroxidation damag via endoplasmic reticulum stress.

9.Molecular diagnosis of intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma
International Journal of Surgery 2016;43(10):716-720
Intrahepatic cholangiocarcinomas (ICCA) are primary intrahepatic malignancies originating from biliary epithelia.While both hepatocellular cancer and ICCA can present as mass lesions within the liver,these cancers are distinct in their morphology,etiology,pathology,natural history and response to therapy.There is a need for accurate and sensitive molecular markers for the diagnosis of ICCA.Recent advances in elucidating molecular and genetic characteristics of ICCA offer the potential of molecular-based diagnosis of ICCA.Specific genetic mutations of IDH1/2,BAP1,p53,and KRAS,FGFR gene fusions and alterations in microRNA have all been described in ICCA.Although there are no accurate serum or biliary biomarkers currently available for diagnosis of ICCA,several potential candidates have been identified.Knowledge of specific genetic or molecular abnormalities offers potential for individualized approaches for the treatment of patients with ICCA in the future.

Objective To study the excitability gastrointestinal hormone MTL and inhibitory gastrointestinal hormone SEC expression in the intestinal congestion and the effects of Salvia miltior-rhiza pretreatment at different time limits in 45min of rat hepatic ischemia-reperfusion to explore its possible mechanism and significance. Methods 80 rats were randomly divided into 4 groups: normal control group(CO group), sham-operated group(SO group), injury group(IR group), salvia miltior-rhiza pretreatment group(SM group). Non-invasive artery clamp was used to clip then slacken the he-patic pedicle to produce animal model of ischemia-reperfusion. The clamp time was 45 min. The rats in Salvia miltiorrhiza pretreatment group were injected 40 ml/kg saline with 6 g/kg Salvia Miltiorrhiza from caudal vein 30 min before clamping hepatic pedicle. While in the sham-operated group, the porta hepatis was dissected after laparotomy and hepatic pedicle not clamped. The upper jejunums at differ-ent reperfusion time phases (0 h, 3 h, 12 h, 24 h, 72 h) were made into specimens respectively, and then MTL and SEC immunohistochemical measurement were conducted. Results At 0 min of hepatic ischemia-reperfusion digestive tract congestion, the MTL expression of upper jejunum went down,SEC expression of upper jejunum went up. With the reperfusion time extending, the MTL expression also descended to minimum at 24 h, but SEC expression increased to reach the peak at 24 h. The ex-pression of these 2 hormones gradually returned to normal at 72h. The MTL expression of Salvia milt-iorrhiza pretreatment group was higher, SEC expression of SM group were lower than the IR group in each time phase of reperfusion. Conclusion The intestinal congestive injury caused by liver ischemia can down-regulate the excitability of gastrointestinal hormone MTL and up-regulate the gastrointesti-nal inhibitory gastrointestinal hormone SEC expression at reperfusion to inhibit gastrointestinal motili-ty. Salvia miltiorrhiza preconditioning can partly weaken the descending of jejunal MTL and increasing of the jejunal SEC expression, which may contribute to the early recovery of gastrointestinal motility.
