1.Roles of TRIB3 in unfolded protein response
Journal of International Oncology 2014;41(4):244-247
Endoplasmic reticulum stress in tumor cells is common,the accumulation of unfolded or misfolded proteins in the endoplasmic reticulum can lead to unfolded protein response (UPR).Research shows that UPR can protect cells,reestablish endoplasmic reticulum function and homeostasis at initial stage,and can promote apoptotic at later stage.TRIB3 is one of the mammal pseudoprotein kinase family Tribbles,and plays an important pivotal role in UPR,which can not only promote apoptosis but also play a protective role.

Objective To investigate the effect of miR-210 on angiogenesis of human renal clear cell carcinoma . Methods Detect the expression of miR-210 in 40 cases of renal clear cell carcinoma tissues , and analyze the rela-tionship between the expression of miR-210 and microvessel density ( MVD) .miR-210-ASO was lipotransfected in-to renal clear cell carcinoma cell line 786-O.RT-qPCR was used to verify the transfection effect .The effect of the supernatant of control group , negative control group and miR-210-ASO group tumor cells on the lumen formation of human umbilical vein endothelial cells ( HUVEC) was observed in a 3-D culturesystems .The transplantation tumor model of nude mice was established , and the effect of miR-210 on the formation of the transplanted tumor micro vessel was observed by endomucin and VEGF immunofluorescence staining under laser scanning confocal micro -scope.Results The expression of miR-210 was positively correlated with microvessel density in renal clear cell carcinoma ( P<0.05 ) .The expression of miR-210 was significantly decreased in 786-O cells transfected with miR-210-ASO( P<0.05 ) .The lumen formation of HUVEC cells co cultured with miR-210-ASO group cell supernatant was significantly less than that of control group and negative control group ( P<0.05 ) .The tumor volume of miR-210-ASO group was less than that of the control group , and the number of the micro vessel and the VEGF expres-sion were significantly less than that of the control group ( P<0.05 ) .Conclusions Inhibition of miR-210 can suppress blood vessel formation in renal clear cell carcinoma .

ObjectiveTo evaluate the effect of lengthening the short-side albuginea of the bending penis by the allogeneic acellular dermal matrix ( Allo-ADM ) for the treatment of penile curvature.MethodsFrom Jun 2007 to Jun 2010,18 patients with penile curvature due to malformation of the albuginea cavernous body were treated.The age of the patients ranged from 15 to 26 years (mean,20 years).Twelve patients were married.The curvature degree ranged from 30° to 80° (mean,55°).There were 17cases of single curvature and 1 case of complex curvature.The grafts ( Allo-ADM ) of different sizes were sutured to the albuginea at the curvatus side of the penis according to the extent of penile curvature through a circumcision incision.The extent of penile curvature and complications were evaluated postoperatively.ResultsPenile curvature was corrected in all 18 patients after the operation.No infection,hematoma and abnormal erection occurred postoperatively. No erectile dysfunction and penile re-curvature was observed during the follow-up period of 3 to 24 months.ConclusionLengthening the short-side albuginea of the bending penis by Allo-ADM could be a safe and effective way to correct penile curvature.

[Objective]To evaluate the value of distraction osteogenesis for treatment of deformity of spine during development.Distraction osteogenesis could be used for patients with campylorrhachia,dwarfism eccyliosis of spine or those combined with thoracocyllosis and obliquity pelvis.[Method]According to the principle of Halo-pelvic distraction apparatus which was divided into two parts of halo and pelvic,the halo was 4-nail fixation and the pelvic was 2-nail fixation.The halo and pelvic were connected by 4 standing pillar.Through the daily extending of 4 standing pillar the curved spine was extended and stretched gradually.As a result,action of 3D correction of deformity of spine was achieved.[Result]Ten patients of this group were treated by this methods.The action of 3D correction and automatic correction of deformity were showed in 70~120 days distraction that the wedge-shaped vertebra changed into squareness,curved spine was stretched and rotatory vertebra was reduced.[Conclusion]Distraction osteogenesis is a minimally invasive surgery instead of internal fixation of spine for the treatment of deformity of spine during development.

Objective:To investigate the effects on the new bone formation by different distraction rate during mandibular distraction osteogenesis in goats.Methods: The right side mandibles of twelve goats were distracted after corticortomy,and all the animals were divided into 3 groups randomly, the first group were distracted with 0.8 mm/day, the second group were distracted with 1.6 mm/day, the third group were distracted with 2.0 mm/day, and the left side mandible of 4 goats from above groups were selected randomly as the control group.Then the new generation bone after distraction with different rate were studied by bone density examination and three point bending test.Results: The bone density value of the 0.8 mm/day group were higher than the other two experimental groups; the results of three point bending test showed that the biomechanical strength of the new generation bone in 0.8 mm/day group was higher than the other two experimental groups.Conclusion:0.8 mm/day may be the best distraction rate in mandibular distraction osteogenesis.

Objectives To investigate the effects of nerve nutrient factors and inhibitory factors on neuronal regen? eration and axonal reconstruction at ischemic neocortical penumbra after focal cerebral ischemia in rats. Methods The rat model of middle cerebral artery ischemia was established using suture-occluded method. The pathological morpholo? gy of brain tissue was examined by using HE staining. The expression levels of GAP-43 SYN, nutrient factor (BDNF VEGF Ang1) and inhibitory factor (NogoA NogoR RhoA) were determined by using Western blotting technique. Results The number of neurons in ischemic penumbra was significantly decreased in model group (P<0.01) than in sham-operat? ed group. The expression levels of GAP-43 were significantly decreased (P<0.05) while the expression levels of NogoA NgR and RhoA in the thalamus were significantly increased (P<0.05) in model group than in sham-operated group. The expression levels of SYN and nutrient factors (BDNF VEGF Ang1) were not different between the model group and sham-operated group. Conclusion The increase in nerve inhibitory factors may contribute to the down-regulation of neu?rogenesis at ischemic neocortical penumbra after focal cerebral ischemia in rats.

Leukotriene B4 (LTB4) is a proinflammatory lipid mediator that is synthesized by a number of inflammatory cells. Binding of LTB4 to its receptor leukotriene B4 receptor 1 (BLT1) can migrate neutrophils and macrophages to inflammatory sites through chemotaxis and up-regulation of adhesion molecules. Many researches have shown that LTB4-BLT1 axis is related to the occurrence of autoimmune disorders and other inflammatory diseases. Receptor antagonists of LTB4 are thus expected to be useful therapeutics for these diseases. In this review, we briefly describe the biological function of LTB4 and summarize the preclinical and clinical developments of LTB4 receptor antagonists.
