Objective To study the expression of small breast epithelial mucin(SBEM) in the peripheral blood of the patients with breast cancer,and explore the correlation between micrometastasis and SBEM.Methods Peripheral blood samples were obtained from 92 patients with breast carcinoma,20 patients with benign breast diseases,10 patients with malignant tumor not originating from breast,and 10 normal healthy volunteers.SBEM-mRNA expression was detected by nested reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction(Nested-RT PCR).Results Among 92 breast carcinoma patients,43(46.7%) were Nested-RT-PCR positive for SBEM-mRNA,but it was negative in all the other groups.The expression of SBEM-mRNA in peripheral blood did not correlate with ER or PR status,menstruation state or primary tumour size.but correlated with patient′s age,the state of Her-2,CEA,CA15-3 and axillary lymph node metastasis of breast cancer.Conclusions The expression of SBEM-mRNA in peripheral blood of breast cancer can be of potential use to monitor the micrometastasis of breast cancer.

Oxidative damage theory is currently one of the predominant theories on the mechanisms of aging. Previous research has shown that antioxidants can extend the lifespan in the model organism by scavenging free radicals,inducing the expression of stress related genes and hormesis. However, recent studies have suggested that these pharmaceuticals may cause serious side effects,such as promoting oxidation,increasing the risk of cancer,and destroying the metabolic balance. The low absorption and targeting property also limit the efficiency of most antioxidants. As a result ,the correlation between antioxidants and lifespan extension remains to be demonstrated. We reviewed the research progress in the field of lifespan extension by antioxidants in recent years and provided references for future research in related areas.

Objective To investigate the effects of antisense p21 oligodeoxynucleotide (p21 ASODN) on the expression of p21 protein and extracellular matrix in cultured human glomerular mesangial cells (HGMC) under high glucose medium. Methods HGMCs were transfected with 50 nmol/L or 100 nmol/L p21 ASODN or scrambled control oligodeoxynucleotide (SCODN) using lipofectamine 2000. After incubation under normal (5.5 mmol/L) or high (30 mmol/L) glucose media and different times, HGMCs lysates were collected and the expression of p21, fibronectin and laminin was examined by Western blot. The secretion of fibronectin and laminin by HGMCs in supernatants of culture media was also detected with EOSA. Results High glucose media significantly stimulated the expression of p21, increased the syntheses and secretion of fibronectin and laminin in cultured HGMCs in a time-dependent manner. Transfection of HGMCs with p21 ASODN not only decreased p21 protein level caused by high glucose media, but also attenuated the expression and secretion of fibronectin and laminin in supematants of HGMCs lysates and culture media. Meanwhile, SCODN had no significant effects on the expression of p21, fibronectin and laminin. Conclusions High glucose promotes the expression of p21 , fibronectin and laminin in cultured HGMCs. Transfection of HGMCs with p21 ASODN can decrease p21 protein level caused by high glucose media, and attenuate the expression of fibronectin and laminin in supematants of HGMCs lysates and culture media. Modulation of p21 expression in HGMCs may work as an effective way to mitigate the progression of diabetic nephropathy.

OBJECTIVE:To establish the method for simultaneous determination of 5 saponins in Lonicerae Flos. METHODS:Using macranthoidin B as a reference,HPLC method was adopted to calculate the relative correction factor(RCF)of it to macran-thoidin A,dipsacoside B,macranthoside A and macranthoside B. The contents of above 4 saponins were calculated through RCF. Using the contents of saponins determined by external standard method as measured value,the calculated value was compared with measured value. RESULTS:The linear ranges of macranthoidin A,macranthoidin B,dipsacoside B,macranthoside A and macran-thoside B were 0.316-6.32 μg(r=0.9973),0.453-9.06 μg(r=0.9982),0.231-4.62 μg(r=0.9996),0.342-6.84 μg(r=0.9984) and 0.147-2.94 μg(r=0.9961),respectively. RSDs of precision,stability and reproducibility tests were all lower than 2.0%. The recoveries were 97.74%-104.51%(RSD=2.37%,n=6)、96.70%-103.20%(RSD=2.37%,n=6)、96.12%-103.61%(RSD=2.45%, n=6)、98.80%-104.70%(RSD=2.32%,n=6)、99.21%-102.92%(RSD=1.39%,n=6),respectively. There was no statistical sig-nificance between calculated value and measured value(P>0.05). CONCLUSIONS:The method is simple,precise,stable and re-producible. It can be used for the determination of saponins in Lonicerae Flos.

Objective To investigate the effects and mechanisms of prostaglandin E2 receptor subtype 3 (EP3) on transforming growth factor β1 (TGF-β1)-induced mouse mesangial cells damage. Methods Primary mouse mesangial cells were separated and cultured. Three siRNAs were synthesized and transfected into mesangial cells for silencing EP3 by LipofectamineTM 2000 and the best one was chosen. MCs were grouped into: (1)control group; (2)TGF-β1 (10 μg/L) group; (3)NC-siRNA plus TGF-β1 (10 μg/L) group; (4) EP3-siRNA group; (5)EP3-siRNA plus TGF-β1 (10 μg/L). Then the proliferation of MCs was evaluated by CCK-8 assay. The expression of PGE2 and cAMP in cell supernatant were detected by ELISA. The mRNA and protein expression of fibronectin (FN), connective tissue growth factor (CTGF), cyclooxygenase-2 (COX2), membrane-bound prostaglandin E2 synthase 1 (mPGES1) were detected by real - time quantitative PCR and Western blotting. The phosphorylation of p38 MAPK and ERK1/2 was decected by Western blotting. Results Compared with control group, the cell proliferation induced by TGF-β1 was increased (P<0.05), the expression of PGE2 and cAMP were improved, mRNA and protein expression of FN, CTGF, COX2 and mPGES1 were up-regulated (all P<0.05). Compared with TGF-β1 group, the cell proliferation in EP3-siRNA plus TGF-β1 group was reduced, the expression of FN, CTGF, COX2 and mPGES1 mRNA and protein were downregulated (all P<0.05), the phosphorylation of ERK1/2, p38 MAPK were also declined (P<0.05). Conclusion EP3-siRNA may reduce TGF-β1-induced cell damage through upregulating the expression of cAMP, repressing the activity of ERK1/2 and p38 MAPK, inhibiting the expression of COX2 mPGES1 and PGE2 by feedback, then decreased the expression of FN and CTGF.
