Chinese Journal of Analytical Chemistry 2001;29(2):138-141
We have made a cheap microsystem of capillary electrophoresis with a new method, integrating the electrodes, injection channel, separation channel, buffer reservoirs and detection cell on a polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA) chip. Using an integrated micro carbon fiber disk electrode as the working electrode in three electrodes system, 1 × 10-4 mol/L dopamine (DA) could be detected with end-column amperometric detection. The reproducibility was good. Peak current was 6.73 nA、theoretical plate numher was 71300/m and height equivalent of one theoretical plate height was 14.0 μm for 1 × 10-4 mol/L DA. The limit of detection was 3.6× 10-8mol/L and the linear range was extended from 5 × 10-7 mol/L to 1 × 10-4 mol/L for DA. 1 × 10-4 mol/L catechol (CA) and 5× 10- 5 mol/L DA were also separated completely with R. = 10.1.

Objective To study the relationship between the number of examined lymph nodes and the prognosis of colorectal cancer by TNM stage. Methods According to the number of examined lymph nodes, 567 patients of colorectal carcinoma who underwent resection were divided into three groups: ≤ 6,7-11 and ≥ 12, the 5-year overall survival rates of three groups were compared. For each TNM stage ( stage Ⅰ -Ⅳ ) , patients were substratified into two groups basing on the number of examined lymph nodes:<12 group and ≥12 group, the 5-year survival rates of two groups in each TNM stage were assessed, and prognostic factors of stage Ⅱ and Ⅲ stage were analyzed. 5-year survival curves were estimated with the Kaplan-Meier method and compared by the log-rank test. Cox proportional models were used to conduct multivariate analyses of prognostic factors. Results The average number of examined lymph nodes was 16. 75 ±9. 88. With the patients grouped by the number of lymph nodes ( ≤6,7 -11 and ≥12 nodes) , the 5-year survival rate was 32. 3% , 43. 8% , and 57. 7% , the univariable analysis indicated that the 5-year survival rate of ≥ 12 examined nodes were significantly higher than the other groups (P<0. 05). There was no difference between two groups in the 5-year survival rates of stage Ⅰ or Ⅳ colorectal cancer (89. 5% vs.89. 1% ,8. 0% vs. 18. 2% , P>0. 05 ) , however, the 5-year survival rates of stage Ⅱ and Ⅲ colorectal cancer in ≥12 group were significantly higher than<12 group(71. 1% vs. 32. 6% ,48. 8% vs. 30. 0% ,P<0. 05) , multivariable analysis revealed that the number of lymph nodes examined was an independent factor of prognosis of stage Ⅱ and Ⅲ colorectal cancer. Conclusions The number of examined lymph nodes significantly influenced the 5-year overall survival rate of TNM stage Ⅱ and Ⅲ colorectal cancer.

Objective:To investigate the correlation between the expression of Golgi phosphoprotein 3 (GOLPH3) and the occurrence of apoptosis in colorectal cancer cells (CRC). Methods:Immunohistochemical assays of GOLPH3 and caspase-3 were performed on the paraffin-embedded sections of 62 CRC samples using the standard streptavidin-peroxidase technique. The apoptotic index of the CRCs was examined using the in situ terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase nick-end labeling technique. The relationship of the GOLPH3 expression, the cell apoptosis, and the clinicopathologic parameters was analyzed. Results:The positive rates of GOLPH3 expression were significantly higher in the CRC tissues (53.2%) than in the normal colorectal mucosa (37.2%;P<0.05). Likewise, GOLPH3 expression was significantly higher in poorly differentiated cancer tissue, tissue outside the serous membrane, metastatic lymph node tissue, and the stage III CRCs, as compared with those of the moderately to well differentiated tissue, tissue inside the serous membrane, lymph node tissue without metastasis, and the stage I to II CRCs (P<0.05). However, GOLPH3 expression was not significantly correlated with the other clinicopathologic pa-rameters, namely, the age and sex of the patients as well as the site, depth, and length of the invasive tumor (P>0.05). The caspase-3 expression and apoptotic index were significantly lower in the GOLPH3-positive CRC tissue than in the GOLPH3-negative tissue (P<0.05). GOLPH3 expression was negatively correlated with the apoptotic index of CRCs based on the Spearman correlation (r=-0.320, P<0.05). Conclusion:GOLPH3 overexpression in CRC tissue is negatively correlated with apoptotic index.

Objective: To investigate the effect and mechanism of RNA binding protein Lin28 on the 5-fluorouracil (5-Fu) sensitivity of HepG2 cells. Methods: HepG2 cells were transfected with plasmid pcDNA3.1-Lin28 or si-Lin28 (small interfering RNA of Lin28). qPCR and Western blotting were used to detect the expression of Lin28 in HepG2 cells after transfection. Changes of cell proliferation in transfected cells after 5-Fu treatment was detected by CCK8 assay and the 50% inhibitory concentration (IC50) was calculated. Flow cytometry was used to detect apoptotic rate after 5-Fu treatment and the expression of apoptosis-related protein was assayed by Western blotting. The mRNA expressions of drug-resistant miRNAs (let-7a and let-7b), as well as cancer stem cell markers (Oct4, Nanog and Sox2) after transfection were detected by qPCR. Results: As compared to the HepG2/Vector cells, the mRNA and protein expressions of Lin28 were significantly up-regulated in HepG2/Lin28 cells (P<0.05 or P<0.01). Over-expression of Lin28 significantly suppressed the sensitivity of HepG2 cells to 5-Fu (IC50elevated obviously, P<0.05) and significantly increased cell proliferation while decreased apoptotic rate and expression of apoptotic-related protein caspase-3 (all P<0.01). As compared to si-control group, expression of Lin28 in HepG2/si-Lin28 cells was significantly down-regulated (P<0.01). Lin28 knockdown significantly reduced cell proliferation and IC50 of 5-Fu (all P<0.01) but increased apoptotic rate and expression of apoptosis-related protein (P<0.01). Compared with HepG2/Vector group, expressions of let-7a and let-7b, as well as cancer stem cell markers (Oct4, Nanog and Sox2) were significantly increased in HepG2/Lin28 cells (all P<0.01); while these molecules were significantly decreased in HepG2/si-Lin28 cells as comparing to si-control group (all P<0.01). Conclusion: Lin28 can modulate the chemosensitivity of HepG2 cells by regulating the expression of miRNAs and the formation of cancer stem cells. Targeting Lin28 might be a promising approach to improve the chemotherapy efficacy in HCC.
