OBJECTIVETo discuss the mechanism of gambogenic acid (GNA) in inducing the apoptosis of melanoma B16 cells.
METHODThe inhibitory effect of GNA on the proliferation of B16 cells was measured by the methyl thiazolyl tetrazolium (MTT) assay. The effect of GNA on B16 cells was detected by the Hoechst 33258 staining. The transmission electron microscopy was used to observe the ultra-structure changes of B16 cells. The changes in PI3K, p-PI3K, Akt, p-Akt, p-mTOR, PTEN proteins were detected by the Western blotting to discuss the molecular mechanism of GNA in inducing the apoptosis of B16 cells.
RESULTGNA showed a significant inhibitory effect in the growth and proliferation of melanoma B16 cells. The cell viability remarkably decreased with the increase of GNA concentration and the extension of the action time. The results of the Hoechst 33258 staining showed that cells processed with GNA demonstrated apparent apoptotic characteristics. Under the transmission electron microscope, B16 cells, after being treated with GNA, showed obvious morphological changes of apoptosis. The Western blot showed a time-dependent reduction in the p-PI3K and p-Akt protein expressions, with no change in p-PI3K and p-Akt protein expression quantities. The p-mTOR protein expression decreased with the extension of time, where as the PTEN protein expression showed a time-dependent increase.
CONCLUSIONGNA could inhibit the proliferation of melanoma B16 cells and induce their apoptosis within certain time and concentration ranges. Its mechanism in inducing the cell apoptosis may be related to PI3K/Akt/mTOR signaling pathways.

Duck circovirus(DuCV),a potential immunosuppressive virus,was investigated in Southern China from March 2006 to December 2009 by using a polymerase chain reaction(PCR)based method. In this study,a total of 138 sick or dead duck samples from 18 different farms were examined with an average DuCV infection rate of~35%. It was found that ducks between the ages of 40~60 days were more susceptible to DuCV. There was no evidence showing that the DuCV virus was capable of vertical transmission. Farms with positive PCR results exhibited no regularly apparent clinical abnormalities such as feathering disorders,growth retardation or lower-than-average weight. The complete genomes of 9. strains from Fujian Province and 1 from Zhejiang Province were sequenced and analyzed. The 10 DuCV genomes,compared with others genomes downloaded from GenBank,ranged in size from 1988 to 1996 base pairs,with sequence identities ranging from 83.2% to 99.8%. Phylogenetic analysis based on genome sequences demonstrated that DuCVs can be divided into two distinct genetic genotypes,Group I(the Euro-USA lineage)and Group II(the Taiwan lineage),with approximately 10.0% genetic difference between the two types. Molecular epidemiological data suggest there is no obvious difference among DuCV strains isolated from different geographic locations or different species,including Duck,Muscovy duck,Mule duck,Cheery duck,Mulard duck and Pekin duck.

Objective To discuss the effects of Radix Hedysari flavonoids on microvessel density (MVD) of pulmonary interstitial fibrosis model rats, and provide evidence for its development. Methods SPF Wistar rats were divided into blank group, model group, prednisone group, and Radix Hedysari flavonoids high-, medium- and low-dosage group. Pulmonary interstitial fibrosis model was established by intratracheal instillation of bleomycin. From the second day after model established, each drug treatment group was administered with corresponding drugs intragastrically at different points in time for 14 and 28 days. MVD was detected by immunohistochemistry. Results Neomicrovessel was increased significantly in pulmonary tissue of model rats of 14 days treatment, but slightly decreased in 28 days. MVD in 14, 28 days model group was significantly more than blank group (P<0.01). MVD in 14, 28 days Radix Hedysari flavonoids high dosage group was significantly less than model group (P<0.01). MVD in Radix Hedysari flavonoids medium-dosage group was between high-and low-dosage group, and MVD in medium-dosage group was similar with that in model group. Conclusion Radix Hedysari flavonoids could inhibit the formation of neomicrovessel in a dose dependent manner.

Objective:Increased reactive oxygen species (ROS) formation and by which in turn promotes cardiomyocytes apoptosis is associated with the pathogenesis and progression of various cardiac diseases. Small heat shock protein 27(Hsp27) could protect different cells from oxidative damage. By using tissue nonspecific overexpression Hsp 27 transgenic model, other investigators demonstrated that Hsp27 suppressed successfully kainate-induced seizures and hippocampal cell death in intact transgenic mice, and attenuated mimic ischemia/reperfusion injury in Langendorff-perfused isolated mice heart. As there are complicated and long distance neuro-humoral regulation associated with the development of cardiac diseases, it is better to choose a cardiac-specific overexpression transgenic model to study the effects of Hsp27 in hearts in vivo.Methods:A cDNA encoding human Hsp27 was subcloned into pBSII-SK+ containing the ?-myosin heavy chain (?-MHC) promoter (generously provided by Dr. J. Robbins, Children’s Hospital of Cincinnati, Ohio). BamHI-digested linear transgene consistent with the ?-MHC promoter, Hsp27 cDNA, and poly (A) of human growth hormone (hGH) was microinjected into the fertilized eggs from CBA/BL6 mice. Mice containing the transgene were identified by polymerase chain reaction. Founders revealed by this screening were used to establish independent transgenic lines. Following successful transmission, a range of tissues including heart, lung, liver, brain, skeleton muscle, spleen and kidney was screened by Western blot to confirm the cardiac specific expression of the transgene. Results and Discussion:Transgenic mice expressed Hsp27 under the control of a-MHC promoter. Cardiac tissues from independent TG line expressed abundant Hsp27, and as expected, Hsp27 expressed in cardiac tissues only, whereas none in liver, spleen, lung, kidney, brain and skeleton muscle. Surprisingly, Hsp25, the endogenous isoform of Hsp27 in murine, was downregulated by Hsp27 overexpression (data not shown), which is in contrast to the result of Hollander’s [1]. It needs to determine in future whether Hsp27 expression profile in heart could exert any effect on the regulation of Hsp25.Conclusion: The TG mice overexpression human Hsp27 specifically in the heart by using ?MHC- promotor were created. All TG mice expressed Hsp27 abundantly and cardiac-specifically. To our knowledge, it is the first report of creation of transgenic mice which overexpressing Hsp27 cardiac specifically. This current model suggests that the Hsp27 cardiac-specific over-expression of transgenic mouse remains a robust genetic tool for dissecting molecular and genetic events involving Hsp27, which could be a therapeutic target in heart failure.

APOBEC(apolipoprotein B mRNA-editing enzyme catalytic-polypeptide) family members were reported as innate immune molecules with anti-viral activity for many viruses, such as HIV and HBV.In order to understand the function of APOBEC, the APOBEC-3F and-3G were cloned, expressed, and the sub-cellular localization of them was detected.The genes of APBEC-3F and-3G were cloned from PHA-stimulated PMBC and expressed in the MDCK cell by transfection.The sub-cellular localization of APOBEC-3F and-3G were detected by immunofluorescence.APOBEC-3F and-3G were cloned by RT-PCR and confirmed by DNA sequencing.The immunofluorescence indicated APOBEC-3F and-3G were located in the cytosal.APOBEC-3F and-3G could inhibit HBV replication effectively in HepG2.2.15 cell.APOBEC-3F and-3G could not be trans-located into nuclear by nuclear location signal(NLS) or bi-NLS(B-NLS).These results will help the future research on the function of APOBEC.
