Objective To analyze the protein expression profile of HeLa cells transfected with pORF5 gene of Chlamydia trachomatis. Methods A lentiviral expression vector containing pORF5 gene was constructed. The lentiviral expression vector and helper plasmids were co-transfected into 293T cells to construct the recombinant lentivirus, which was used to infect HeLa cells. HeLa cells transfected with pORF5 gene and control HeLa cells were sorted out by flow cytometry. The isobaric tags for relative and absolute quantitation ( iTRAQ) approach combined with nano-liquid chromatography-tandem mass spec-trometry ( NanoLC-MS/MS) analysis was performed to understand protein expression profiles and to iden-tify and quantify the differentially expressed proteins in the pORF5-transfected HeLa cells ( pORF5-Hela) and the control HeLa cells. Quantitative real-time PCR ( qRT-PCR ) and Western blot analysis were performed to detect the expression of some proteins at mRNA and protein levels, respectively. Results HeLa cell line stably transfected with pORF5 gene and control HeLa cell line were constructed successful-ly. Totally 314 proteins were differentially expressed between the pORF5-HeLa and control HeLa cells, 159 of which showed increased expression and the other 155 showed decreased expression in pORF5-HeLa cells. The differentially expressed proteins were involved in many processes, such as metabolic process, immune response, biological adhesion and so on. Results of qRT-PCR showed that the expression of HIST1H1C(histone H1. 2C), HBA1(hemoglobin subunit alpha), PARK7(parkinson disease protein 7), HMGB1(high mobility group protein B1) and HMGB2 at mRNA level in pORF5-HeLa cells were up-regulated, while the expression of CLIC1 ( chloride intracellular channel protein 1 ) , KRT7 ( typeⅡ cy-toskeletal 7), SFN(14-3-3 protein sigma) and CDKN2A(cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitor 2A) were down-regulated. Western blot analysis confirmed the enhanced expression of HMGB1 and PRAK7 at pro-tein level. The results of qRT-PCR and Western blot analysis were consistent with proteomic data. Con-clusion Expression profiles for differentially expressed proteins between pORF5-HeLa and control HeLa cells were established successfully. The differentially expressed proteins regulated by pORF5 gene were found to be related to cell metabolism, proliferation, adhesion and so on, suggesting that pORF5 might promote the growth and proliferation of Ct by regulating protein expression and biological behavior of host cells.

Aim To study the activity and mechanism of inhibition of myocardial hypertrophy of total fla-vonoids of Cydonia oblonga Mill. in spontaneously hy-pertensive rats ( SHR) . Methods Total flavonoids of COM ( COMF) were separated and purified by the op-timal process. SHR were divided into 6 groups: SHR control group ( SHR) , captopril group ( SHR+CAP, 25 μg·g-1 ) , Eucommia ulmoides Oliver group ( SHR+EUO, 30 μg·g-1 ) , low ( SHR+COMF-L, 40 μg ·g-1 ) , middle ( SHR+COMF-M, 80 μg·g-1 ) and high dose ( SHR+COMF-H, 160 μg·g-1 ) of COMF groups. Wistar-Kyoto (WKY) rats (n=8) were given distilled water as control. The drugs were given by in-tragastric administration for 16 weeks. The histological and pathological examinations of the heart were per-formed and organic damage was valued. The levels of AngⅡand ALD in blood and heart were evaluated. The mRNA and protein expression of ACE, ACE2 and AT1 was determined by RT-PCR and Western blot to e-valuate the effect of COMF on RAAS. Results Com-pared with SHR control group, HW, HW/BW, LVM and LVM/BW decreased in SHR+COMF-M and SHR+COMF-H groups. Cadiomyocyte hypertrophy was in-hibited in COMF groups. The concentration of AngⅡand ALD in heart and blood decreased. ACE and AT1 mRNA and protein expression in heart tissue de-creased, while ACE2 mRNA expression increased ( P<0. 01 or P <0. 05 ) , Conclusion Total flavonoids of Cydonia oblonga Mill. show the effect of inhibition of myocardial hypertrophy in spontaneously hyperten-sive rats and the mechanism is related to inhibiting ac-tivity of renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system.

Objective:To determine the clinicopathological significance of the DNA methyltransferase 3B (DNMT3B)overexpression in endometrial carcinomas and to evaluate its correlation with hormone re-ceptor status.Methods:Immunohistochemistry was performed to assess the expression of DNMT3B and hormone receptors in 104 endometrial carcinomas.Results:DNMT3B overexpression occurred frequently in endometrioid carcinoma (EC,54.8%)more than in nonendometrioid carcinoma (NEC,30.0%) with statistical significance (P =0.028).Furthermore,there was a trend that EC with worse clinico-pathological variables and shorter survival had a higher DNMT3B expression,and the correlation between DNMT3B and tumor grade reached statistical significance (P =0.019).A negative correlation between DNMT3B and estrogen receptor (ER)or progesterone receptor (PR)expression was found in EC. NMT3B overexpression occurred frequently in the ER or PR negative subgroups (78.9%,86.7%)more than in the positive subgroups (47.7%,47.8%)with statistical significance (P =0.016,P =0.006). In addition,the DNMT3B overexpression increased in tumors with both ER and PR negative expression (92.9%,P =0.002).However,no such correlation was found in NEC (P >0.05).Sequence analyses demonstrated multiple ER and PR binding sites in the promoter regions of DNMT3B gene.Conclusion:This study showed that the expression of DNMT3B in EC and NEC was different.DNMT3B overexpres-sion in EC was associated with the worse clinicopathological variables and might have predictive value. The methylation status of EC and NEC maybe different.In addition,in EC,DNMT3B overexpression negatively correlated with ER or PR expression.In NEC,the correlation between DNMT3B and ER or PR status was not present.
