BACKGROUND: The mRNA expression of α1 chain of type I collagen (COL- Iα1)in rat osteosarcoma (ROS17/2.8) induced by bone morphogenetic protein-2(BMP-2)was reduced under simulated weightlessness. The protein kinase MEK1 in the signal pathway of mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) plays an important role in the expression of COL- I αl mRNA regulated by BMP-2. But there was no report on the kinase activity of MEK1 under simulated weightlessness.OBJECTIVE: To investigate the effects of simulated weightlessness on the activity of MEK1 induced by BMP-2 in ROS17/2.8 cells.DESIGN: A non-randomly control study was conducted.SETTING: Department of Aerospace Biodynamics, Fourth Military Medical University of Chinese PLAMATERIALS: Rat osteosarcoma osteoblast-like cell METHODS: This experiment was conducted at the Laboratory of Aerospace cells and Molecular Biology Laboratory , Institute of Space Medico-Engineering between August 2002 and January 2003. ROS17/2.8 cells were cultured in 1 G control and rotating clinostat simulated weightlessness for 24 hours, 48 hours and 72 hours. The cells were divided into 7 groups as follows: Group 1 was blank control group in which ROS17/2.8 cells were cultured in 1 G condition without BMP2; Group 2, cells were cultured in 1 G for 24 hours;Group 3,in weightlessness for 24 hours; Group 4, in 1 G for 48 hours; Group 5, in weightlessness for 48 hours;Group 6,in 1 G for 72 hours;Group 7,in weightlessness for 72 hours. Cells in Group 2 to Group 7 were all cultured with BMP-2. BMP-2 (500 mg/L) was added into the medium 1 hou before the culture ended. Then the total protein of cells was extracted and the kinase activity of MEK1 was detected by means of Western Blotting.MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: The content of total ERK1/2 and phosphated-ERK1/2 (p-ERK1/2) protein in the cells RESULTS: ①Total ERK1/2 expression induced by BMP-2 in ROS17/2.8 cells under simulated weightlessness: The total ERK1/2 expression induced by BMP-2 in cells in all the groups showed no significant differences ② Phosphated-ERK1/2 expression induced by BMP-2 in ROS17/2.8 .cells under simulated weightlessness: There was little protein of p-ERK1/2 in ROS17/2.8 cells in Group 1 cultured without BMP-2 in 1 G for 24 hours. The content of p-ERK1/2 in ROS17/2.8 cells in Group 2 cultured with BMP-2 in 1 G for 24 hours was much more than that in Group 1 (P < 0.01). The level of p-ERK1/2 was much lower in simulated weightlessness groups than that in 1 G control groups at the same time point. In other words, the content of p-ERK1/2 in Groups 3, 5 and 7 was respectively lower than that in Groups 2, 4 and 6 (P < 0.01).The expression of p-ERK1/2 showed-a tendency of gradually decreasing in Groups 3, 5 and 7 with the prolongation of time of simulated weightlessness(P < 0.01 ).CONCLUSION: The kinase activity of MEK1 in MAPK signal pathway induced by BMP-2 is reduced under simulated weightlessness.

Objective: To investigate in vitro the biological characteristics of AdCD80-infected human lung cancer cells on the basis of generation of replication-deficient hB7-1(CD80) recombinant adenovirus. Methods: Human CD80 gene was transduced into lung cancer cells mediated by recombinant adenovirus and then the expression of the gene was detected by PCR and agarose gel electrophoresis. The biological characteristics of the above cells were analysed with electron microscope, FACS and etc. Results: The titers of rAd reached to 10 10 PFU/ml and more than 90% Anip973 lung cancer cells could be infected by 30 MOI rAd. The growth curve and cloning efficiency of rAdCD80-infected Anip973 cells showed no significant difference compared with that of the control cells. The cell proliferation cycle of rAdCD80-infected 973 cells showed no change through FACS test. Having been infected by rAdCD80, the surface structure and ultrastructure of 973 cells had a little change. Conclusion: These results will lay foundation for tumor vaccines.
