Journal of Chongqing Medical University 2007;0(09):-
Objective:To compare the effect of histone deacetylase inhititor trichostatin A(TSA) on the proliferation and apotosis of different hepatoma cell lines and to investigate the effect of TSA on hepatitis B virus(HBV) replication. Methods:Human hepatoma cell lines HepG2,HepG2.2.15,QGY7701 and normal liver cell line L02 were treated with TSA, the effects on proliferation and apoptosis were examined by MTT assay and agarose gel electrophoresis of DNA; The viral proteins of hepatitis B surface antigen(HBsAg)and e antigen(HBeAg) in culture medium were measured using the Abbott Microparticle Enzyme Immunoassay kits;The medium HBV DNA levels were quantified using HBV real-time PCR kit. Results:(a)TSA treatment repressed proliferation and induced apoptosis in hepatoma cell lines;(b)The normal repressed proliferation and induced apoptosis in hepatoma cell lines;(b) The normal liver cell line L02 was not sensitive to the treatment of TSA;(c)TSA stimulated HBV replication. Conclusions:TSA treatment could inhibit proliferation of different hepatoma lines,and the normal liver cell line L02 is not sensitive to TSA treatment. However,TSA stimulates HBV replication. Therefore,our results suggest that TSA might be a good chemotherapic candidate for hepatocellular carcinoma patients without HBV infection but may not be suited to treat hepatocellular cancer patients with HBV infection.
2.Correlative analysis between congenital heart diseases and Down's syndrome
Chinese Journal of Applied Clinical Pediatrics 2014;29(8):608-611
Objective To investigate the association between Down's syndrome(DS) and congenital heart diseases(CHD).Methods A total of 575 cases with DS from Jan.1997 to Mar.2013 in Children's Hospital of Chongqing Medical University were recruited.Retrospective study was conducted to analyze the prevalence and types of CHD in DS children,the relationship between the karyotype of DS and the types of CHD,and pulmonary hypertension (PH) and operation treatment.Results There were 370 cases(64.35%,370/575 cases) with CHD in 575 cases with DS.Among the 370 cases of CHD,322 cases (87.03 %) were septal defects.In which,57 cases (15.41%) were atrial septal defects,36 cases (9.72%) were ventricular septal defects,12 cases (3.24%) were atrioventricular septal defects,and 157 cases(47.30%) were complex septal defects.Forty-eight cases(12.97%,48/370 cases) were nonseptal defect types of CHD (including patent ductus arteriosus,tetralogy of Fallot,double outlet right ventricle,pulmonary atresia,and so on).There was no statistical significance between the karyotype of DS and the types of CHD.There were 246 cases(66.49%,246/370 cases) with PH.Seventy cases(18.92%,70/370 cases) had interventional or surgical operations.All of them had descending pulmonary artery pressure after operation.Forty cases had other malformations such as gastrointestinal tract malformation,polydactylism / polydactyly,visual impairment,and so on.Conclusions The most common type of CHD with DS was atrial septal defect,and the second one was ventricular septal defect.There was no relationship between the karyotype of DS and the types of CHD.The patients with CHD in DS were prone to develop PH.So the comprehensive treatment plan should be developed as early as possible.
3.Suppressing Function of Breast Cancer Metastasis Suppressor 1 in Breast Cancer Metastasis
Chinese Journal of Bases and Clinics in General Surgery 2003;0(03):-
Objective To review the recent studies on the suppressing function of breast cancer metastasis suppressor 1 (BRMS1) in breast cancer metastasis. Methods The recent literatures on the mechanisms of BRMS1 in the breast cancer that were published in and abroad were reviewed and summarized. Results BRMS1, similar to the other anti-metastasis genes, only suppresses the metastasis of breast cancer cells but has nothing to do with the growth of tumor. BRMS1 could suppress metastasis of tumor cells by reestablishing both the homospecific and the heterospecific gap junctional intercellular comminications (GJIC) and by altering the expressions of relevant metastasis genes in the breast cancer. Conclusion Further studies on BRMS1 may be helpful to understand the metastasis of breast cancer, which may provide a new way for the diagnosis and treatment of breast cancer.

Journal of Central South University(Medical Sciences) 2014;(7):649-657
Objective: To investigate the antitumor effect of SGI-1776 on human ovarian cancer HO-8910 cells and its molecular mechanism. Methods: HO-8910 cells were cultured in vitro, and the proliferation inhibitory effects of SGI-1776 were determined by MTT assay and colony formation assay. The effect of SGI-1776 on the distribution of cell cycle phase was observed by flow cytometry with propidium iodide (PI) staining. hTe inhibition rate of migration and invasion were valued by transwell cell assay. Multiple molecular techniques, such as ELISA, Western blot, siRNA and cDNA transfection were used to explore the molecular mechanism. Results: SGI-1776 presented dramatic anti-tumor activity against HO-8910 cells in vitro, inhibited the cells proliferation and colony formation, and attenuated the migration and invasion in a dose-dependent manner, accompanied by cell cycle arrest in G1 phase. SGI-1776 caused the proliferation inhibition with concomitant decrease in Pim-1 kinase activity, down-regulated the expression of Pim-1 protein and and its downstream genes, such as CDK6, pCDK6, CDK4, pCDK4, CDK2 and pCDK2, and increased the expression of P21 and P27. Down-regulation expression of Pim-1 by siRNA followed SGI-1776 treatment resulted in enhanced cell proliferation inhibition rate and attenuated migration/invasion. Up-regulation of Pim-1 by cDNA transfection attenuated SGI-1776-induced cell proliferation inhibition and its migration/invasion. Conclusion: Pim-1 mediates the biological effect of SGI-1776 in human ovarian cancer HO-8910 cells, suggesting Pim-1 might be a novel target for human ovarian cancer.

8.CD4 + T cell depletion in HIV infection and immune reconstitution following antiretroviral therapy
Journal of Chinese Physician 2017;19(1):14-16
The hallmarks of HIV infection include progressive CD4+T cell depletion and chronic immune activation.Effective antiretroviral therapy (ART) can restore CD4 +T cell counts and related immune responses to various opportunistic pathogens.On some occasions,improvement in the immune system leads to immune reconstitution inflammatory syndrome shortly after ART initiation.On the other hand,some patients fail to achieve a normal CD4 + T cell count despite long-term suppressive ART.Multiple studies have demonstrated that persistent immune activation and inflammation are closely associated with suboptimal immune recovery although the underlining mechanisms remain widely debated.

International Eye Science 2015;(1):34-37
Abstract? AlM: To investigate the inhibition effect of bevacizumab on human Tenon capsule fibroblasts ( HTFs ) and discuss the countermeasures of bleb scarringscarring in glaucoma surgery countermeasures.? METHODS: Adopted cell recovery method and followed the aseptic principles, we performed the culture of HTFs which came from the Central Laboratory of Shaanxi People's Hospital cell library. Wound Healing assay:We scraped a cell-free zone on the cell surface when the cells reached confluence at 80%. The control group was added to serum-free DMEM medium. The HTFs of bevacizumab group were stimulated with 1mg/mL concentrations without DEME for 0, 24, 48, and 72h. The scratch width was observed and measured.? RESULTS: HTFs were long fusiform shape under microscope, the nucleus is in the center of the cell with larger nucleus, abundant cytoplasm, were arranged in a whorled growth out of shape, strong ability to proliferate, conform to general forms of fibroblast. The morphological and biological characteristics of cells after cryopreservation and resuscitation remain unchanged. Wound healing assay: 0h, equal to the initial width of the two groups, 24h when the migration distance of the two groups of cells are basically the same, 48h when the control group cell migration distance is greater than that in the bevacizumab processing group, 72h when the control group scratches basichealing, bevacizumab treated cells migrate closer than 48h no significant change, and a lot of cells died.?CONCLUSlON:Cell recovery method can successfully cultured HTFs, which was stability on morphology and biological properties, laying the cellular basis for experimental research. Fibroblast itself has a strong ability to migrate, outside - derived bevacizumab can inhibit HTFs migration evidently and it will cause excessive cell death when. Bevacizumab has certain extent inhibitory effect on HTFs migration, and it is likely to become one of the important drugs for creating bleb scarring after glaucoma surgery in the future.
