Normal lung tissues are inevitably exposed to X-ray in thoracic radiotherapy,causing radiation-induced lung injury (RILI).The main pathological manifestations include the accumulation of inflammatory cells,release of cytokines,accumulation and proliferation of fibroblasts,and excessive deposition of alveolar interstitial collagen in the irradiated region.RILI severely affects the treatment compliance and quality of life and even threatens the life in the patients receiving radiotherapy.In recent years,numerous studies have found that Th1/Th2 imbalance is closely associated with the development and progression of RILI,and the cytokine network plays an executive role in the progression of RILI.Therefore,restoring the Th1/Th2 balance in vivo may provide a new way to prevent and treat RILI.

Myocardial fibrosis is a predominant pathological change of radiation-induced heart disease (RIHD) in late stage.It often occurs several or more than ten years after radiotherapy and can lead to myocardial remodeling, impaired cardiac function, and heart failure.At present there is no effective method to prevent or reverse the development of radiation-induced myocardial fibrosis.Many cells, cytokines, and other factors are involved in the development and progression of myocardial fibrosis in RIHD and some of them have been validated.But most investigators focused on the pathological changes and related mechanisms in early stage, and myocardial fibrosis was just regarded as an endpoint event.The definitive mechanisms of myocardial fibrosis in late stage remain unclear.This paper reveiws the studies about general mechanisms of myocardial fibrosis in RIHD and summarizes the roles of microcirculation dysfunction, mast cells, several cytokines, hypoxia, oxidative stress, and renin-angiotensin system, and points out the future research direction of the pathogenesis of myocardial fibrosis in RIHD.It provides new ideas for discovering the potential targets for clinical intervention of myocardial fibrosis in RIHD.

Messenger RNA was isolated directly from lung cancer cell line A549 using magnetic particles. First strand synthesis from mRNA was driven by M-MLV(Moloney Murine Leukemia Virus) reverse transcriptase and random hexam-eric primer, followed by second strand synthesis using RNase H and DNA polymerase I After treatment with T4 DNA polymerase to flush the ends, the double-stranded cDNA was cloned into the plasmid expression vector digested with EcoRI and followed by removing cohesive end. The number of independent clones of the resulting cDNA library was about 9.0 x 105. The estimated percentage of colonies with inserts was about 85 % . The insert size ranges from 0.5 kb ~ 4 kb. The CPP32 gene coding for death protease was obtained by PCR with the cDNA library from lung cancer cells as a template for the first time. Construction of the cDNA library laid a foundation for screening other genes regulating death of lung cancer cells.

BACKGROUND:cells under mechanical stimulation can achieve their biological functions by converting mechanical signals into chemical signals through certain signal transduction mechanism. As the fibrous framework throughout a cell, cytoskeleton is one of the critical components in this process.
OBJECTIVE:Through systemical y analyzing the role of the cytoskeleton in mechanical signal transduction, to provide a potential therapeutic target for the clinical treatment of cytoskeleton related diseases.
METHODS:In order to search relevant articles about the mechanics mechanism of signal transduction of cytoskeleton from PubMed and CNKI databases (from 1990 to 2012), a computer-based search was performed, using the key words of“cytoskeleton, microtubules, microfilaments, intermediate filaments, mechanical stimulation, signal transduction”in English and Chinese, respectively. After eliminating literatures which were irrelevant to research purpose or containing a similar content, 48 articles were chosen for further analysis.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Mechanical stimulation plays an important role in cellproliferation, development and apoptosis. With the gradual understanding of the biological function of cytoskeleton, people have found that cytoskeleton is one of the critical components in the process of the mechanical signal transduction. After getting mechanical stimulation, cytoskeleton can be reorganized through Rho, protein kinase C, integrin and mitogen-activated protein kinase signaling pathways, then converting the mechanical stimulation to chemical signals and finishing its biological functions final y.
