1. Expression of EphB2 in colonrectal carcinoma and its significance
Tumor 2008;28(10):877-881
Objective: To investigate the differentiated expressions of EphB2 protein in colorectal carcinoma at different clinicopathologic staging and in different colorectal carcinoma cell lines with varying metastasis potential and explore the effect of EphB2 on colorectal cancer and its action mechanism. Methods: Immunohistochemistry was used to detect the expression of EphB2 and microvascular density (MVD) in colorectal carcinoma tissues (n = 43) and normal colon tissues (n = 10) was detected. Four colorectal carcinoma cell lines with varying metastasis potential, SW480, HT29, HCT116, and LoVo cells, were cultured in vitro. The expression of EphB2 protein was measured by Western blotting and the transcription of EphB2 mRNA was determined by RT-PCR. Results: EphB2 was expressed in the cytoplasm of the most colon carcinomas. EphB2 receptor expression was negatively related with tumor infiltration depth and distant metastasis; EphB2 receptor expression was positively related with the differentiation degree of colon cancer. Expression of EphB2 protein had positive correlation with MVD in tumor tissues; the expression level of EphB2 was decreased in high-metastatic HCT116 and LoVo cells compared with low-metastatic SW480 and HT29 cells. Conclusion: Decreased expression of EphB2 may promote the carcinogenesis and progression of colorectal carcinoma. One of the explanations for the effect of EphB2 is its regulaion on tumor angiogenesis.

Objective To investigate the efficacy of interferon alpha (IFNα) plus adefovir dipivoxil (ADV) and tebivudine (LdT) monotherapy for patients with HBeAg positive chronic hepatitis B (CHB) who have poor response to IFNα treatment.Methods A total of 86 HBeAg positive CHB patients admitted to the Sixth People' s Hospital of Shaoxing during February 2010 and April 2013 were enrolled in the study.All the patients received IFNα monotherapy for 24 weeks and had poor responses.The patients were voluntarily divided into three groups:IFNα monotherapy group (n =21),IFNα plus ADV group (n =30) and LdT monotherapy group (n =35).Chi-square test was used to compare ALT normalization rates,rate of HBV DNA load < 500 copies/mL,HBeAg seroconversion and HBsAg seroconversion rates among three groups.Results After 48 weeks of treatment,the ALT normalization rate in IFNα monotherapy group was 52.6% (10/19),which was lower than those in IFNα plus ADV group (86.7%,26/30) and LdT monotherapy group (84.8%,28/33) (x2 =6.913 and 6.361,P < 0.05).The rate of HBV DNA load <500 copies/mL in IFNα monotherapy group was 26.3% (5/19),which was lower than those in IFNα plus ADV group (60.0%,18/30) and LdT monotherapy group (54.5%,18/33) (x2 =11.33 and 3.895,P <0.05).No HBeAg negative conversion or seroconversion was observed in IFNα monotherapy group,but it was observed in 6 (20.0%,6/30) patients in IFNαt plus ADV group and 7 (21.2%,7/33) patients in LdT monotherapy group (x2 =4.330 and 4.657,P < 0.05).No HBsAg seroconversion was observed in three groups.There were no statistical significant differences in ALT normalization rates,rate of HBV DNA load < 500 copies/mL,HBeAg seroconversion and HBsAg seroconversion rates between IFNαt plus ADV group and LdT monotherapy (x2 =0.042,0019 and 0.064,P > 0.05).Conclusion For patients with HBeAg positive CHB who had poor response to IFNα treatment,IFNα plus ADV therapy and LdT monotherapy have the same efficacy in improvement of both liver function and virological response.

ObjectiveTo observe the effect of eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) on the proliferation and apoptosis of human gastric cancer cells and to explore the potential mechanism involved.MethodsHuman gastric cancer cell lines SGC-7901 and MGC-803 were treated with EPA at 10,20,40 μg/ml for 24-72 hours.The inhibition of cell proliferation was evaluated by methyl thiazolyl tetrazolium assay.The apoptosis and the distribution of cell cycle were analyzed by flow cytometry.Mitochondria membrane potential was determined with a fluorescence probe rhodamine 123.Cellular distribution of cytochrome C was quantitatively detected with enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay.Caspase-3 activity was measured with spectrofluorometry.ResultsAfter incubation with 10-40 μg/ml EPAfor 24-72 hours,the proliferation of human gastric cancer cells was markedly inhibited in a time-dependent manner.The treatment of 40 g/ml EPA for 72 hours increased the proportion of G0/G1 phase cells in both SGC-7901 and MGC-803 (P=0.006,P=0.009).In SGC-7901 and MGC-803 cells incubated with 40 μg/ml EPA for 24 hours,mitochondria membrane potential decreased significantly (P =0.001,P =0.047 ); cytochrome C level significantly declined in mitochondria (P=0.001,P=0.000) but increased in cytosol (P =0.001,P=0.000).In SGC-7901 cells,the apoptotic effector caspase-3 activity increased time-dependently along with incubation with 40 g/ml EPA.ConclusionEPA could inhibit the proliferation and promote the apoptosis of human gastric cancer cells through inducing cell cycle arrest and activating intrinsic death pathway mediated by mitochondria.

Objective: Our aim was to investigate the alteration of p16 gene in human pancreatic carcinoma. Methods: A total of 66 human pancreatic tissue specimens, comprising 51 with pancreatic carcinomas and 15 normal pancreatic tissue specimens, were examined for homozygous deletion and mutation of p16 gene by using PCR-SSCP method. Results: No mutation and deletion was detected in 15 normal pancreatic tissue samples. Of 51 pancreatic carcinoma specimens, only one was found mutation for p16 gene in PCR-SSCP assay, and the deletion of the p16 gene in 23 samples were confirmed by using PCR, with a 45% p16 gene deletion rate. Conclusion: These data suggest that p16 gene alterations may play a role in the progression of human pancreatic carcinoma.

Objective:To compare the drug release of nifedipine sustained-release tablets from four manufacturers to evaluate the intrinsic quality. Methods:The drug release rate was determined by UV respectively with pH 1. 2 HCl solution, pH 4. 0 sodium ace-tate buffer, pH 6. 8 phosphate buffer and water as the dissolution medium. The dissolution curves were compared by f2 factor. Results:The drug release rate of nifedipine sustained-release tablets from the four manufacturers all met quality standard of our country, al-though the dissolution curves in the different dissolution medium was various. Conclusion:There are differences in intrinsic quality a-mong the nifedipine sustained-release tablets from the four manufacturers. The dissolution examination standard should be improved fur-ther.
