Chinese Pharmacological Bulletin 2017;33(3):317-321
Aim Toinvestigatethespecificbinding sites that HDAC1 can be recruited to regulate the tran-scriptional activity of p21 WAF1/CIP1 promoter in the breast cancer MCF-7 cells.Methods ThebreastcancerMCF-7 cells in logarithmic growth phase were starved with FBS free medium for 24 hours,and treated with 20 μmol·L-1 SAHA(S group)or 0. 625 nmol·L-1 Leptin(L group)for 24 hours,and the cells that were cultured in the complete RPMI 1640 medium without any treatment were assigned as control group (B group).The DNA-ChIP was followed the manufactur-er′s protocol for the assay.The cell lysis was prepared and incubated with anti-HDAC1 antibody overnight at 4℃.DNA fragments binding anti-HDAC1 antibody were gathered and purified.The relative expression level of DNA fragments from TSS to the upstream of the p21 WAF1/CIP1 promoter region(+2 ~-4000 bp)bind-ing with antibody was detected by Real-time PCR and analyzedby2-ΔΔCTmethod.Results InBgroup, HDAC1 had high affinity with the f1 and f 8 fragmentsof p21 WAF1/CIP1 promoter compared to the other fragemts,and showed the highest affinity with the f8 fragment.In S group,the binding ability of HDAC1 to the f1 ~f10 fragment of p21 WAF1/CIP1 promoter was sig-nificantly lower than that of the control.The binding activity of HDAC1 to f8 fragment was the lowest,while reversing to reach the peak after leptin treatment.Con-clusions HDAC1canberecruitedtop21WAF1/CIP1pro-moter by the cell proliferation signal during the prolifer-ation of breast cancer MCF-7 cells.The DNA fragment from -2800 to -3200 bp in the upstream of p21 WAF1/CIP1 promoter is the target functional region for the binding with HDAC1 .

BACKGROUND: Abnormal neuronal discharge arose from the activation of cell membrane ion channels and transmembrane ion transport. The electric activity of the cells is associated with cell metabolism fundamentally through adenosine triphosphate (ATP)-sensitive potassium(KATP) channels.Currently the involvement of KATP channels in the pathogenesis of epilepsy and the regulation of KATP channels by coriaria lacton (EL) remain unknown.OBJETCIVE: To investigate the changes of cell membrane KATP channels in rat hippocampal neurons in response to CL as an epilepsy-inducing agent, and explore the role of KATP channels in the pathogenesis of epilepsy.DESIGN: Randomized controlled experiment.SETTING: Department of Neurology, West China Hospital Affiliated to Sichuan University, and Teaching and Research Section of Physiology,West China College of Preclinical Medicine and Forensic Medicine of Sichuan University.MATERIALS: This experiment was carried out at Luzhou Medical College between May and December 2000. Hippocampus pyramidal neurons were obtained from neonatal Wistar rats and randomized into normal control group, tetraethylammonium chloride (TEA) group, DNP group, CL group, and electric conductance and dynamics group.METHODS: The hippocampus of newborn Wistar rats was separated under aseptic condition and cultured for 24 hours prior to treatment with 10 μmol/L cytarabine for selective cell culture for 7-10 days. The cells in good growth exhibiting typical morphology of pyramidal neurons were then selected for patch-clamp experiment. The cells in the normal control group were treated with normal saline, which was replaced by 5 mmol/L TEA in TEA group, by 30 μmol/L DNP then 0.5 mol/L ATP in DNP group, and by 1.0 mL/L CL then 1 μmol/L glibenclamide in CL group. In electric conductance and dynamics group, the clamp voltage was firstly adjusted to investigate the channel opening before CL was added to the cells.MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: ① Activity and curve of neuronal KATP channels; ② Effects of various clamp voltages on the channels activity and the effects of interventions with DNP, ATP and TEA; ③ Activation of neuronal membrane KATP channels induced by CL and the influence of glibenclamide.RESULTS: The reversal potential of the channels approximated 0 mV in homologous high-potassium solution. The opening of KATP channels increased along with the absolute value of the clamp voltage in a voltage-dependent manner, which was blocked by TEA. The electric current-voltage (Ⅰ-Ⅴ)curve could be fitted to a straight line with the electric conductance of (78.23±12.04) pS. Administration of 30 μmol/L DNP enhances the opening of the channels, which could be suppressed by 0.5 mol/L ATP.Addition of 1.0 mL/L CL to the cells caused obviously increased channel opening, which was suppressed by 1 μmol/L glibenclamide. The channel opening time was (1.754±0.060) ms for epileptic neuron τ01and (1.733±0.046) ms for normal neurons, showing no significant difference between them (n=25, t=0.147, P > 0.05), but compared with the channel opening time of (2.441±0.265) ms for τ02 normal neurons, and duration was significantly prolonged in the epileptic neurons to reach (10.446±0.579)ms (n=25, t=0.000, P < 0.01).CONCLUSION: The opening of KATP channels is responsible for reducing the action potential frequency for neuronal protection, which might be a negative feedback mechanism.

Objective To investigate the use of antimicrobial drugs in our hospital and provide guide for clinical use of antimicrobial drugs.Methods Tabulate and analyze the usage of antimicrobial drugs according to the discharged patients' medical records from Jan 2004 to Dec 2006.Then use statistical methods for retrospective survey.Results Among 4003 medical records,2756 of them used antibiotics,with the percentage being 68.85%.1103 recodes used combined medication,which accounted for 40.02% of the total records.Type I incision occupied 90.86% in surgical departments.The percentage of the inpatients who used antimicrobial drugs after operation for about five to seven days was 78.85%.For selecting drugs,the majority were empirical antibiotics treatment,which achieved 93.72%.The ratio of irrational use of drugs was 25.90%.Conclusion The clinical use of antimicrobial drugs in our hospital is dramatically lower than the average level of the whole nation.However,non-standardized administrations of medication,super-standardization,super-range use of drugs are still the problems needed to solve.

Objective To investigate the elinicopathoiogical features of Castleman disease with kidney injury. Methods Clinicopathological data of 10 Castleman disease patients with kidney injury from Peking University First Hospital and China-Japan Friendship Hospital were analyzed retrospectively. All the cases received biopsies of lymph node and kidney. Their renal tissues were examined by light microscopy, immunofluorescence and electron microscopy. Results Ten patients were all male with mean age (493:14) years. They presented edema and proteinuria, with mean urinary protein at (2.79±3.56) g/24 h, including one nephrotie syndrome (NS). Hematuria occurred in 8 cases, acute renal insufficiency in 6 cases, hypertension in 4 cases. Most of the patients had fever, fatigue, anorexia, weight loss, increased ESR and CRP, hypergammaglobulinaemia and decreased complements. Other abnormalities included anemia, thrombocytopenia, pleural effusion, hepatomegaly, splenomegaly, hypothyroidism, etc. Two cases demonstrated POEMS syndrome, one presented Sjogren syndrome. The enlargement of multiple cervical, axillary and inguinal lymph nodes were identified in all the patients. The pathological patterns of lymph node were plasma cell type in 4 cases, hyaline-vascular type in 3 cases, and mixed type in 3 cases. Pathological examination of renal biopsy showed thrombotic microangiopathy in 5 cases, crescentic glomerulonephritis in 2 cases, renal amyloidosis, minimal change disease and chronic tubular interstitial nephropathy in 1 case respectively. After immunosupressive reagents or COP therapy, lymph nodes became smaller, systemic symptoms were alleviated, proteinuira was decreased or disappeared, and renal function was recovered in most of patients. Conclusions Castleman disease with kidney injury manifests various symptoms with high prevalence of renal insufficiency and multiple systemic damage. Renal lesions present many patterns of pathological change with a higher frequency of thrombotic microangiopathy. It is necessary to examine the lymph nodes by ultrasound, radiology or biopsy for the patients of renal diseases with multiple systemic symptoms.
