Objective To construct the eukaryotic expression plasmids of short hairpin RNA (shRNA) specific for mouse Bcl-2-assoeiated athanogene 1 (BAG-1) and to observe their inhibitory effects on the expression of BAG-1 gene in mouse melanoma B16FI0 ceils. Methods Plasmids named pRNAT-U6.1/Neo-BAG-1, were designed and constructed to target the mouse BAG-1 mRNA coding region. LipofectaminTM 2000 was used to transfect plasmids into BI6F10 cells. Negative plasmid-transfected and tmtransfected B16F10 cells served as negative and blank controls respectively. Forty-eight hours following transfection, G418 was used to select the resistant cells. The mRNA and protein expression of BAG-1 gene was measured by reverse transcription-PCR and Western blot respectively about 1 month after the transfection. Results The eukaryotic expression plasmids, pRNAT-U6.1/Neo-BAG-1, were constructed, and verified by restriction enzyme digestion and DNA sequencing. The transfection rate in B16F10 cells was 20% -30%. Compared with the blank control, the mRNA and protein expression of BAG-1 in BI6FI0 cells was significantly inhibited by BAG-1 shRNA (both P<0.05), and the inhibition rates were (77±4)% and (62 ±2)%, respectively. Conclusions These results indicate that the eukaryotic expression vectors containing shRNA against BAG-1 gene, pRNAT-U6.1/Neo-BAG-1, are successfully constructed, and can significantly inhibit the expression of BAG-1 gene in mouse melanoma B16F10 cells.

To investigate the plasma thioredoxin-interacting protein ( TXNIP ) levels in different glucose tolerance groups and discuss the relationship between TXNIP and insulin resistance/β-cell dysfunction in diabetes and prediabetes, and to investigate the potential relationship between TXNIP and interleukin-1β( IL-1β) . According to oral glucose tolerance test, 93 participants were divided into 3 groups:diabetes mellitus group, prediabetes group, and normal glucose tolerance group. Plasma TXNIP, IL-1β, and other biochemical indices were measured. The relationship between TXNIP and glucose, IL-1β, homeostasis model assessment for insulin resistance ( HOMA-IR) , and homeostasis model assessment forβcell function ( HOMA-β) were analyzed by using multiple linear regression techniques and Pearson’s linear correlation analysis. Plasma TXNIP level was higher in prediabetes group compared with normal glucose tolerance group, but lower in prediabetes group compared with diabetes mellitus group[(355. 35±31. 88 vs 274. 36±33. 86, 426. 16±63. 15)pg/ml, P<0. 01 or P<0. 05]. TXNIP was positively correlated with IL-1βand HOMA-IR, but negatively correlated with HOMA-β. Multiple linear regression analysis indicated that IL-1βexerted significant influence on TXNIP ( P<0. 05 ). Plasma TXNIP level is affected by blood glucose concentration. There is a close relationship between TXNIP and IL-1β. In prediabetes patient, the TXNIP levels have already been raised.
