Chinese Journal of Information on Traditional Chinese Medicine 2006;0(10):-
Objective To investigate the effects of annonaceous acetogenin on proliferation and apoptosis in Raji cells and its mechanism.Methods Raji cells cultured in vitro were divided into control group,annonaceous acetogenin group and adriamycin group.Raji cells were effected by 6.25,12.5,25,50 ?g/mL annonaceous acetogenin.Proliferation of Raji cells were evaluated by MTT assays,apoptosis percentage was assessed by flow cytometry.Caspase-9 protein was detected by immunohistochemistry.Results The Raji cell proliferation rate of annonaceous acetogenin decreased compared with the control,that of 25,50 ?g/mL group were lower than adriamycin group,and it was related to the concentration,relying on the incubating time.The apoptosis rate was higher than control,that of 25,50 ?g/mL group were higher than adriamycin group,and it was related to the concentration and the incubating time.The expression of caspase-9 protein of annonaceous acetogenin group was higher than control,and it had a positively relationship with the concentration and incubating time.Conclusions Annonaceous acetogenin could inhibit cell proliferation in a dose-dependent and time-dependent manner in Raji cells,and it may induce Raji cells apoptosis by up-regulating caspase-9 expression.

To find a new method to identify Mori Cortex and its adulterants by analysis their ITS2 sequence of barcode,total genomic DNA was isolated from Mori Cortex and its adulterants. Nuclear DNA ITS2 sequences were amplified,and purified PCR products were sequenced. Sequence assembly and consensus sequence generation were performed using the CodonCode Aligner V3.0. The Kimura 2-Parameter (K2P) distances were calculated us-ing software MEGA 4.0. Identification analyses were performed using BLAST1, Nearest Distance and neighbor-joining (NJ) methods. The results showed the intra-specific genetic distance of Mori Cortex was 0, which were lower than inter-specific genetic distances between Mori Cortex and its closely related species (0.003-0.343). The ITS2 region is an efficient barcode for identification of Mori Cortex and its closely related species, which provides a scientific basis for fast and accurate identification and new method of Mori Cortex.

Tumor radioresistance is the leading cause of clinical radiotherapy failure and disease progression.Researches show that the occurrence of radioresistance is related to the cell cycle arrest,relevant gene change,tumor microenvironment change,autophagy,tumor stem cells and other factors.Studying the mechanism of radioresistance and looking for an effective method to avoid it is the key to improve the effect of radiotherapy,which can provide the probability of the prognosis of radiosensitivity.

To improve 3-ketosteroid-△1-dehydrogenase (KSDH) activity and the transformation level for androst-4-ene-3,17-dione,3-ketosteroid-△1 -dehydrogenase gene (ksdD) from Arthrobacter simplex was cloned into plasmid pWB980 and expressed in B. subtilis WB600 under the control of promoter P43. The molecular weight of expressed enzyme was about 55kDa by SDS-PAGE analysis. The activitities assayed by spectrophotometrical method of intracellular and extracellular soluble enzyme were 110 ± 0.5mU and 15 ± 0.6mU per milligram of protein respectively. The transformation rate of androst-4-ene-3,17-dione by the B. subtilis recombinant cells was 45.3%. Compared with Arthrobacter simplex, the enzyme activity of KSDH expressed in B. subtilis was improved about 30 fold, and the transformation level of androst-4-ene-3,17-dione by the B.subtilis recombinant cells was improved about 10 fold. The recombinant B. subtilis cells used in biotransformation of steroids provided a new way for steroid medicines production.
