Objective To make sure whether or not Bcrp1 is the marker of cervical cancer stem cells or not by studying the invasive ability and formation of tumors of Bcrp1 + phenotype HeLa cells.Methods The tumor cell migration and invasion assay were used by boyden chamber to identify the invasive ability of Bcrp1 + phenotype HeLa cells.The formation of tumors in vivo experiments were completed,in which the two groups of cells with different concentrations were inoculated in non obese diabetes-severe combined immunodeficiency disease ( NOD/SCID ) mice ( 1 × 104,1 × 105,1 × 106/ml ) and the differences of time,rate and volume in the formation of tumors between two groups were observed.Results ( 1 ) In the invasion assay,the amount of cells that invaded through the artificial basement membrane in Bcrp1 + group were 99 ± 14,which was significantly greater than those in Bcrp1- group ( 57 ± 13,P ＜ 0.05 ) ; the length of the Bcrp1 + group was ( 366 ± 52 ) μm,which was significantly greater than the Bcrp1 - group ( 301 ± 54) μm ( P ＜ 0.05 ).( 2 ) Following transplantation of 1 × 104 cells,only the Bcrp1 + cells formed tumors in NOD/SCID mice.When 1 × 105 or 1 × 106 cells were transplanted,the tumor incidence and the tumor mass were greater in the Bcrp1 + groups than those in the Bcrp1 - groups ( P ＜ 0.05 ).Conclusion Bcrp1 + HeLa cell have the greater capacity of invasive and the tumorigenicity,which may contain cancer stem cells.

Directed evolution was conducted to improve the thermostability of lipase from Rhizopus chinensis CCTCC M201021. Mutations were introduced by two rounds of error-prone PCR and mutant lipase was selected by fast-blue RR top agar screening. Two positive variants were selected in the first-round and four in the second-round screening process. Ep2-4 was proved as the most thermostable lipase and its DNA sequencing revealed three amino acid substitutions: A129S, P168L and V329A. Compared with the parent, its half-life at 60 degrees C was 5.4- times longer and T50 was 7.8 degrees higher. Purified lipase of Ep2-4 was characterized and the result shows that its thermostability improved without compromising enzyme activity. According to the mimicked protein structure, mutation A129S formed a hydrogen bond with Gln133 and improved the thermostability by increasing the hydrophilicity and polarity of protein; mutation P168L by forming a hydrophobic bond with the nearby Leu164.

Objective:To explore the effect of radiotherapy on the FHIT protein expression and cell apoptosis of cervical squamous carcinoma and discuss the relationship between FHIT protein expression and cell apoptosis. Methods:Expression of FHIT protein was measured by immunohistochemical method and cell apoptosis was detected by TdT-mediated dUTP terminal nick end labeling (TUNEL) staining in 50 cases of squamous cell cervical carcinoma at ⅡB-ⅢB stages before, during (Dt 10 Gy and Dt 30 Gy), and after radiotherapy. Results:Of the 50 patients, the positive rates of the expression of FHIT protein was 56% at Dt 10 Gy, 68% at Dt 30 Gy, and 84% after radiotherapy, which were significantly increased compared with that before radiotherapy (36%, P<0.05). The positive rates of cell apoptosis was 52% at Dt 10 Gy, 64% at Dt 30 Gy and 78% after radiotherapy, which were significantly elevated compared with that before radiotherapy (28%, P<0.05). In the process of radiotherapy, cell apoptosis was positively related to the expression of FHIT protein (P<0.05). Conclusion:Radiotherapy reinforces the expression of FHIT protein and induces apoptosis cocurrently. FHIT protein has regulatory effects in cell apoptosis induced by radiotherapy.
