Objective To evaluate the expression of metastasis-associated lung adenocarcinoma transcript 1 (MALAT-1) in ovarian cancer cell lines, and to investigate the biological effects of down-regulated MALAT-1 on OVCAR3 cells.Methods qRT-PCR analysis was used to examine the expression level of MALAT-1 gene in ovarian cancer cells, including ES-2, A2780, SKOV3 and OVCAR3 cell lines.For functional research, four shRNA oligos specially targeting MALAT-1 and a empty vector were designed and constructed into pGPU6/GFP/Neo, then transfected into OVCAR3 cells.qRT-PCR was used to confirm the effective suppression of MALAT-1.Changes of proliferation and adhesion of cells were analyzed by CCK-8 and adhesion assays.Wound-healing, transwell migration and invasion assays were used to examine migration and invasion of MALAT-l-silencing cells in vitro.Results The expression of MALAT-1 gene in OVCAR3 cells was high, and qRT-PCR results confirmed successfully the knockdown of MALAT-1 after transient transfection.After successful suppression of MALAT-1, the proliferation, wound-healing and adhesion ability in vitro were inhibited to some degree.In transwell migration assay, the number of migration cells in MALAT-1-silencing group was 52.17±4.48, which is much less than that in the negative and control groups (286.50± 12.23 and 295.67±6.96, respectively).In invasion assay, the number of invasion cells passing the transwell membrane in MALAT-1-silencing group (37.33±2.40) was also decreased significantly, compared to that in the negative and control groups (239.00±15.72 and 222.67±20.85, P < 0.05).Conclusions shRNA-mediated silence of MALAT-1 can effectively inhibit the proliferation, adhesion, migration and invasion abilities of ovarian cancer cell line OVCAR3 in vitro, indicating MALAT-1 is expected to be a target gene for the treatment of ovarian cancer.

Objective To investigate the relationship among the spinous process open degree,the relative displacement of the lumbar facet joints(LFJ),and the morphologic change of the intervertebral foramina.Methods From Nov 2010 to Jun 2012,a total of 6 human fresh cadaveric spines was used in this study.All the ligaments were kept.The relative displacement of the corresponding segments LFJ,and the change of height and width of intervertebral foramen were measured through the corresponding open L3-4 and L4-5 spinous process,respectively.Results Lumbar degeneration was described with the following indices including the proliferation and displacement of LFJ,deformation of the intervertebral foramen morphogenesis,nerve root oppression,and lumbar intervertebral stenosis.When the interspinous process spacer was opened up to 2 mm,lumbar intervertebral foramen heights at the L3-4 and L4-5 [(15.62 ± 0.73) mm,(14.67 ± 0.75) mm] were significantly increased (t =26.00,16.02,P < 0.01) compared to the original state [(13.89 ± 0.77) mm,(12.48 ± 0.80)mm].When the interspinous process spacer was opened up to 4mm,lumbar intervertebral foramen heights at the L3-4 and L4-5 [(17.13 ± 0.78) mm,(16.74 ± 0.76) mm] were significantly increased (t =36.15,30.69,P < 0.01) compared to the original state.The foraminal height with a 4 mm distraction was significantly greater than the 2 mm distraction (t =20.82,21.72,P <0.01).When the interspinous distraction was 2 mm,L FJ displacement at the L3-4and L4-5 [(0.31 ±0.04) mm,(0.34 ± 0.07) mm] was significantly better than the original state [(0.63 ± 0.03) mm,(0.56±0.05)mm] (t =61.97,58.91,P <0.01).When the interspinous distraction was 4 mm,LFJ displacement at the L3-4 and L4-5 [(0.10 ±0.04) mm,(0.12 ±0.06) mm] was significantly better than the original state (t =18.69,18.88,P <0.01).No significant difference was found in the change of the intervertebral foramen width [(8.65 ± 0.38) mm,(7.78 ± 0.37) mm] at the 2 mm interspinous distraction compared to the original state(P > 0.05),but a statistically significant difference was found at the 4 mm interspinous distraction compared to the original state [(9.03 ± 0.41) mm,(8.05 ± 0.32) mm] (t =7.78,7.97,P < 0.01).Conclusions Spinous process shove off can effectively improve LFJ displacement,and increase the intervertebral foramen height,but the increase of its width needs to shove off enough distance.

Paclitaxel(PTX), an effective anti-tumor drugs, is water-insoluble. And Cremophor as a solubilizer in its commercial formulation, Taxol® , often causes side-effects which limit its antitumor effect. We designed and synthesized PEGylated carboxymethyl chitosan-rhein(CRmP)conjugate, and further prepared PTX-loaded CRmP polymeric micelles(PTX/CRmP). CRmP conjugate was characterized by fourier transform infrared spectrum(FT-IR)and nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy(1H NMR). The particle size and surface morphology of PTX/CRmP were characterized by dynamic laser particle size analyzer(DLS)and atomic force microscope(AFM), respectively. The cytotoxicity of CRmP conjugate and PTX/CRmP against MCF-7 cells were evaluated by MTT assay. The results showed that CRmP conjugates displayed very low cytotoxicity and that PTX/CRmP exhibited better in vitro anti-tumor activity than Taxol® at the same drug concentration after a long-term administration.

In this study, in vitro cytotoxicity of carboxymethyl chitosan-rhein conjugate(CR conjugate)and paclitaxel-loaded carboxymethyl chitosan-rhein polymeric micelles(PTX/CR PMs)was evaluated by MTT method in MCF-7 cells. The results showed that CR conjugate displayed good security; PTX/CR PMs in 24 h showed better antitumor activity than Taxol® . Environment-responsive fluorescent probe P4 was used to determine the cellular uptake of PTX/CR PMs in MCF-7 cells. The results also showed that P4 and PTX co-loaded carboxymethyl chitosan-rhein polymeric micelles [(P4+PTX)/CR PMs] could be taken up by MCF-7 cells. There was no difference between(P4+PTX)/CR PMs group and(P4+PTX)/CR PMs with verapamil group, suggesting that CR PMs could protect fluorescent probe and/or drugs in their cores avoiding efflux by P-glycoprotein. These results will contribute to in vivo study of CR conjugate and PTX/CR PMs in the future.
