Objective To investigate the effects of inhibition of STAT5 gene expression by RNA interference technology on apoptosis of human hepatocellular carcinoma cell line SMMC-7721. Methods Three siRNA eukaryotic expression vectors against STAT5 were constructed and transfected with lipofectamineTM 2000 into SMMC-7721 cells. The changes in STAT5 expression were detected by semi-quantitative RT-PCR and Western blot. Cell apoptosis was assayed by flow cytometry (FCM). Results The sequence-specific siRNA could effectively and specifically inhibit STAT5 gene expression at both mRNA and protein levels. The inhibition rates of STAT5 mRNA expression were 70.43%, 43.02%, and 45.07%, respectively. The inhibition rates of STAT5 protein expression were 67.45%, 37.36%, and 41.86%, respectively. At 48 h after transfection, apoptosis rate was 25.61%. Conclusion siRNA against STAT5 can inhibit STAT5 gene expression in SMMC-7721 cells effectively and specifically and induce apoptosis of SMMC-7721 cells. siRNA targeting STAT5 has a great potential value in gene therapy of hepatocellular carcinoma.

Objective To study the relationship between microalbuminuria and inflammation media of C-reactive protein(CRP) and interleukin-6(IL-6) in type 2 diabetes mellitus,and to explore the clinical significance.(Methods)Ninety-six patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus were divided into 3 groups according to the urine albumin excretion rate(UAER): normal albuminuria group(NA),microalbuminuria group(MA) and clinical proteinuria group(CP).The serum levels of CRP,IL-6,fasting plasma glucose,creatinine and fasting insulin were measured in all the cases. Results The levels of CRP and IL-6 in MA group were significantly higher than those in NA group(P

AIM To investigate the anti-atherosclerosis mechanisms of arecoline. METHODS Fifty-eight male rats were assigned to control, model, arecoline 1 mg?kg -1 and arecoline 5 mg? [FQ(12。46,X-WZ]-kg -1 groups randomly. The rats in model and arecoline-supplied groups were fed with hypercholesterol diet. The following variables were measured: HE staining of rat aorta; serum level of TC, LDL-CHO, HDL-CHO, IL-8, ET-1 and NO; expression of eNOS protein on rat aorta; expression of MCP-1, ICAM-1, CXCR-2 and eNOS mRNA on rat aorta. RESULTS Arecoline increased plasma level of NO and the expression of eNOS protein and mRNA, decreased plasma level of IL-8 and the expression of ICAM-1, MCP-1 and CXCR-2 mRNA on rat aorta. CONCLUSION The anti-atherogenic effects of arecoline seems to be closely involved in increasing plasma level of NO and eNOS protein and mRNA expression, decrease in plasma IL-8 level and down-regulation of the expression of ICAM-1, MCP-1 and CXCR-2 genes.-

AIMTo investigate the anti-atherosclerosis mechanisms of the novel compound PPVP. METHODSThirty-six male rats were a ssigned to control, model and PPVP 5 mg?kg -1 groups randomly. The rats in model and PPVP 5 mg?kg -1 groups were fed with hypercholesterol diet for inducing atherolcerosis model. The following variables were measured: HE stainin g of rat aorta; serum level of TC, LDL-CHO, HDL-CHO, IL-8, ET-1, PGI 2, TXA 2 and NO. RESULTSPPVP increased serum level of NO, decreased plasma level of TXA 2 and inhibited the over expression of IL-8. CONC LUSIONThe anti-atherogenic effect of PPVP seems to be closely involved in increasing serum NO level, decreasing plasma level of TXA 2, and inhibiting over expression of IL-8. The result also suggests that the anti-atherogenic ef fect of PPVP in high cholesterol-fed rat may not due to the regulation of plasm a lipid profile, plasma level of ET-1 and PGI 2.

Objective To observe high glucose induced expression of hepatocyte growth factor (HGF) and c met in human kidney fibroblast. Methods The effects of glucose concentrations on expression of HGF, c met and plasminogen activator inhibitor (PAI) 1 in cultured human kidney fibroblasts were observed by RT PCR. In the same system, the effect of exogenous HGF on the expression of PAI 1 was investigated. Results Human kidney fibroblasts cultured in high glucose concentration (25 mmol/L) showed higher HGF and c met expressions in the early stage and then manifested a gradient decrease of HGF and c met expressions, but PAI 1 expression was gradiently increased. Exogenous HGF resulted in inhibiting PAI 1 expression. Conclusion HGF is a potential anti fibrogenic factor and activates matrix degradation pathways in diabetic kidney by reducing PAI 1 expression.

Objective To investigate the clinical manifestations,laboratory findings and genetic characteristics of two cases with simple virilizing (SV)21-hydroxylase(21OHD). Methods Clinical manifestations and laboratory data were obtained. The promoter and coding areas of CYP21A2 gene were directly sequenced. In silico analysis were used to predict the function of mutations. Results Two patients presented severe virilism. The laboratory examinations showed that plasma ACTH,aldosterone,androstendione and testosterone were significantly increased compared with normal individuals. VCT scan showed hyperplasia of bilateral adrenal. Direct sequencing of CYP21A2 gene showed two complex mutations-H62L/V69L and I2g/10InsL,which were not reported previously. In silico analysis(Polyphen)showed the novel mutation V69L could probably damage the function of CYP21A2 protein. Conclusion The combined mutations,H62L/V69Land I2g/10InsL,could be associated with SV type 21-OHD phenotype.
