Objective To explore the pathway of KAI1 induced autophagy regulating apoptosis in human pancreatic cancer cell line MiaPaCa-2.Methods There were three groups in the experiment,which were extracellular regulated protein kinases (ERK) phosphorylation inhibitor PD98059 pretreated group,Caspase-3 activation inhibitor VAD-FMK pretreated group and no PD98059 or VAD-FMK pretreated groups.And each group was divided into three sub groups with different treatment,which were adenovirus AD5-null vector infected control group,the human KAI1 gene recombinant adenovirus vector AD5 KAI1 infected group and autophagy inhibitor 3-MA pretreated and AD5-KAI1 infected group.The cell apoptosis was observed by AnnexinV-FITC/PI double staining.Caspase-3 activation level was evaluated by flow cytometry.ERK phosphorylation and poly(ADPribose) polymerase (PARP) cleavage were determined by Western blot.Results After the cancer cells infected with AD5 KAI1,KAI1 protein was expressed and GFP-LC3 green particles increased.Caspase-3 activation,PARP cleavage,ERK phosphorylation and apoptosis increased obviously.After autophagy inhibitor 3-MA pretreated,the percentage of apoptosis increased from (63.0 ± 7.9)％ to (88.0±4.5) ％ and Caspase-3 activation increased from (34.0±2.8) ％ to (44.2±4.0) ％ and PARP cleavage more.The apoptosis induced by 3-MA could be totally inhibited by Caspase-3 activation inhibitor VAD-FMK pretreated but could not be inhibited by ERK phosphorylation inhibitor PD98059.Conclusion KAI1- induced autophagy inhibits apoptosis through the downregulation of Caspase-3activation and PARP cleavage instead of ERK phosphorylation.

ObjectiveTo study the change of autophagy of human pancreatic cancer cell MiaPaCa-2 before and after Ad5-KAI1 tranfection,and to investigate the possible mechanism.MethodsThe MiaPaCa-2 cells without KAI1 expression were infected with Ad5-KAI1 with KAI1 target gene,and Ad5-null was used as negative control,and parental cell was used as blank control.The formation of autophagosomes was observed by electromicroscopy.The green fluorescent protein-labeled light chain 3 (LC3) associations with autophagosome membranes was detected by confocal microscopy.PD98059,LY294002 were applied to pre-treat the cells.The expression levels of beclin 1,AKT,ERK,the phosphorylation of AKT and ERK protein and the ratio of LC3-Ⅱ to LC3- Ⅰ were detected by Western blotting.ResultsAfter 100 MOI Ad5-KAI1 infections for 24 h,the rate of cell expressing KAI1 protein reached (84.97 ±8.56)％,number of LC3 increased from 4 to 20; and swelling,degeneration of mitochondria was observed,and bilayer-like structure in cytoplasm was found.The expression of beclinl increased (1.4 ±0.3 ) folds,and the expression of LC3-Ⅱ/LC3- Ⅰ increased (8.00 ±2.78) folds.PI3K blockade LY294002 pretreatment significantly suppressed the phosphorylation of AKT of MiaPaCa-2 (2.756 vs 1.516),but it did not inhibit the increase of ratio of LC3-Ⅱ to LC3- Ⅰ(0.770 vs 1.403).ERK blockade PD98059 pretreatment not only significantly suppressed the phosphorylation of ERK of MiaPaCa-2 ( 1.637 vs 0.403 ),but also inhibit the up-regulation of beclin 1 protein expression ( 2.377 vs 1.150) and increase of ratio of LC3- Ⅱ to LC3- Ⅰ (2.225 vs 0.680).ConclusionsKAI1 can significantly induce autophagy of human pancreatic cell line MiaPaCa-2 through phosphorylation of ERK rather than AKT.

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the clinical outcomes of artificial bone (hydroxyapatite) and bone cement implantation in treating young patients with avascular necrosis of the femoral head caused by different reasons. METHODS: A total of 18 patients (23 hips) with Ficat stage Ⅲ and Ⅱ avascular necrosis of the femoral head were treated with dead bone debridement, artificial bone and cement implantation in Department of Orthopedics, Third Affiliated Hospital of Guangxi Traditional Chinese Medical College from October 2003 to July 2008. The patients were followed up for 24.6 months (ranging 3 months to 5 years). The affected hip function was evaluated by modified Merled'Aubigne Scores and X-ray. RESULTS: Mean hip scores improved significantly from 11.65 to 15.09 after surgery. Postoperative radiographs demonstrated the improved collapse and restoration of femoral head sphericity. The femoral heads of most patients remained the appearance after surgery, and the necrosis range did not enlarge. The patients were satisfactory to the treatment results. CONCLUSION: Artificial bone and cement implantation could restore head sphericity and prevent further collapse. The method can be used as an alternative for treatment of avascular necrosis of femoral head at Ficat stage Ⅱ and Ⅲ, especially for young patients.

Objective To investigate the currents impact on delayed rectifier potassium (HERG)regulated by cyclooxygenase (COX)-2 in gastric cancer cells and its mechnism. Methods ① The HERG mRNA, protein and current in gastric cancer cells transfected with or without COX-2 antisense vector were measured by RT-PCR, Western blot and patch-clamp, respectively. ② cAMP concentration in gastric cancer cells transfected with or without COX-2 antisense vector was measured by ELISA. ③ The mutant HERG, which was absence of cAMP-binding domain, was constructed by PCR and transfected into gastric cancer cells. ④ The impact of COX-2 inhibitor and proglandin (PG) E2 on HERG current in gastric cancer cells transfected with or without mutant HERG was investigated by patch clamp. ⑤ The effects of agonist and antagonist of cAMP and inhibitor of protein kinase (PK) A on HERG current in gastric cancer cells transfected with or without HERG mutant were observed by patch clamp. Results ① The expression of HERG mRNA and protein in gastric cancer cells transfected with COX-2 antisense vector were not altered, but the amplitude of HERG current was diminished (P<0.05). ② The cAMP concentration in gastric cancer cells transfected with COX-2 antisense vector was lower than that in parental gastric cancer cells (P<0.05). ③ COX-2 inhibitor and PGE2 had influence on the HERG currents in gastric cancer cells. COX-2 inhibitor reduced and PGE2 enhanced the amplitude of HERG current in gastric cancer cells. However, neither COX-2 inhibitor nor PGE2 showed any negative or positive effects on currents of mutant HERG. ④ cAMP agonist enhanced the amplitude of HERG current and cAMP antagonist reduced the amplitude in gastric cancer cells. Neither agonist nor antagonist had effect on currents of mutant HERG. ⑤ PKA inhibitor did not influence the HERG current of parental gastric cancer cells and gastric cancer cells transfected with mutant. Conclusions COX-2 regulates HERG current through its catalytic product of PGE2, which binds with its receptor on the gastric cancer cells and alters cAMP level in gastric cancer cells, cAMP interacts with HERG protein by binding with cAMP-binding domain of HERG protein and exerts impact on HERG current. PKA does not participate in this process.
