BACKGROUND: Bone morphogenetic protein(BMP) is one of the most important cytokines that induce and promote seed cells to be transformed into osteocytes. Insoluble natural BMP can hardly affect the life of cultured seed cells. The expensive soluble recombinant BMP is also hard to work on the seed cells at the appropriate time and dose. Therefore, gene therapy technique provides us with a brand new idea of using gene-modified seed cells.OBJECTIVE: To transfect exogenous BMP-3 gene into the fibroblasts and screen the positive fibroblast clones that can express BMP-3 stably.DESIGN: Simple sample study.SETTING: Orthopaedic Research Institute, Xijing Hospital, Fourth Military Medical University of Chinese PLA.MATERIALS: The fibroblasts(NIH3T3) were kindly presented by Professor Situ Zhen-qiang of the Stomatological College of Fourth Military Medical University of Chinese PLA.METHODS: This experiment was conducted in the Key Laboratory of Chinese PLA, which belongs to the Orthopaedic Research Institute of Fourth Military Medical University. BMP-3 gene was transfected into the fibroblasts through lipofectamin. The transfected cells were screened by G418. The separated cloned cells were identified through immunohistochemistry. The positively stained cells were the clones of BMP-3 expressing fibroblasts.MAIT OUTCOME MEASURES: The screening concentration of NIH3T3 cells, screening of positive transfected cells, and expression of BMP-3 in screened cells.RESULTS: BMP-3 gene was successfully transfected into the fibroblasts. BMP-3 expressing fibroblast clones were creened and identified through immunohistochemistry. Fibroblast strains with stable BMP-3 expression were obtained.CONCLUSION: The transfection of BMP-3 gene eukaryonic expression vector into the fibroblasts and obtaining of fibroblast strains with BMP-3 expression have laid foundation for the usage of gene-modified seed cells in future research of bone tissue engineering.

OBJECTIVETo investigate the therapeutic effect of Corbrin shugan capsule for treatment of alcoholic hepatic fibrosis in rats.
METHODSThe rat model of alcoholic hepatic fibrosis was induced by intragastric administration of alcohol repeatedly. The serum procollagen III (PC III), laminin (LN) and tissue inhibitors of metalloproteinase-1 (TIMP-1) levels were measured with ELISA, and the content of hydroxyproline (Hyp) in liver tissue were determined with colorimetric method. Collagen deposition in liver tissue was observed with Masson's staining, and the fibrosis area was measured with digital medical image analysis system (Motic Med 6.0).
RESULTSCompared with the model control group, the serum TIMP-1 and LN levels and hepatic fibrosis area in liver tissue significantly decreased in Corbrin shugan capsule groups with doses of 0.09,0.27 and 0.45 g*kg(-1), and the serum PC III and the Hyp contents in liver tissue also decreased of Corbrin shugan capsule groups with doses of 0.27 and 0.45g*kg(-1).
CONCLUSIONCorbrin shugan capsule can decrease serum PC III, TIMP-1 and LN levels and Hyp levels in liver tissue and hepatic fibrosis area in rats, indicating it may have therapeutic effect on alcoholic hepatic fibrosis.

Full-length NS5A gene of the hepatitis C virus was amplified by PCR using plasmid pBAC25 containing HCV nonstructural gene as template. The amplified fragment (about 1.34 kb) was cloned into plasmid pQE32, and the recombinant plasmid pQENS5A was expressed in JM109 strain. The NS5A protein was purified by NiSO4 metal chelating resin, and characterized by Western-blot. Its antigenecity was determined by ELISA. The positive detection rate of anti-NS5A was 75% (69/92) in ninety-two clinic sera. The positive rate of anti-NS5A was 82.5% (33/40) in fourty positive standand sera, and the negative rate of anti-NS5A was 100% (40/40) in fourty negative standand sera. The results showed that the Full-length NS5A proteinn had the higher sensitivity and specificity in the detection of HCV antibody in sera, we suggested that NS5A protein was a useful antigen for blood screening.

OBJECTIVETo detect the expressions of human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (Her-2), epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR), presenilin 2 (PS-2) and estrogen receptor (ER) in breast cancer and discuss their clinical implications.
METHODSThe expressions of Her-2, EGFR, PS-2 and ER were measured immunohistochemically in 108 patients with breast cancer.
RESULTSThe positive expression rates of Her-2, EGFR, PS-2 and ER were 37.0%, 40.7%, 57.4% and 53.7% respectively in the breast cancer patients. The expression of Her-2 was not correlated with EGFR, but inversely correlated with PS-2 and ER. The expressions of Her-2 and EGFR, PS-2, ER were correlated with the histological grades (P<0.05), and Her-2, EGFR and ER expressions with lymph node metastasis (P<0.05). The expressions of Her-2, EGFR, PS-2 and ER did not correlate to the pathological types, patient's age and tumor size (P>0.05).
CONCLUSIONExpressions of Her-2 and EGFR often suggests an unfavorable prognosis while expressions of PS-2 and ER suggest a more favorable one. Expressions of Her-2, EGFR, PS-2 and ER are useful prognostic factors in breast cancer patients.

OBJECTIVE Lapachol is a natural naphthoquinone compound that possesses extensive biological activities. The aim of this study is to investigate the inhibitory effects of lapachol on rat C6 glioma both in vitro and in vivo, as well as the potential mechanisms. METHODS The antitumor effect of lapachol was firstly evaluated in the C6 glioma model in Wistar rats. The effects of lapachol on C6 cell proliferation, apoptosis and DNA damage were detected by 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-5-(3-carboxymethoxyphenyl)-2-(4-sulfophenyl)-2H-tetrazolium (MTS)/ phenazinemethosulfate (PMS) assay, hoechst 33358 staining, annexinⅤ-FITC/PI staining, and comet assay. Effects of lapachol on topoisomerase I (TOP I) and topoi?somerase Ⅱ (TOP Ⅱ) activities were detected by TOP Ⅰ and TOP Ⅱ mediated supercoiled pBR322 DNA relaxation assays and molecular docking. TOPⅠ and TOPⅡ expression levels in C6 cells were also determined. RESULTS High dose lapachol showed significant inhibitory effect on the C6 glioma in Wistar rats (P<0.05). It was showed that lapachol could inhibit proliferation, induce apoptosis and DNA damage of C6 cells in dose dependent manners. Lapachol could inhibit the activities of both TOPⅠ and Ⅱ. Lapachol-TOPⅠ showed relatively stronger interaction than that of lapachol-TOPⅡ in molecular docking study. Also, lapachol could inhibit TOPⅡ expression levels, but not TOPⅠ expression levels. CONCLUSION These results showed that lapachol could significantly inhibit C6 glioma both in vivo and in vitro, which might be related with inhibiting TOPⅠ and TOPⅡ activities, as well as TOPⅡ expression.

FMS-like tyrosine kinase 3 (FLT3) is a receptor of tyrosine kinase that is constitutively activated in most of acute myeloid leukemia patients and seems to give an adverse prognosis. In order to explore the silencing effect of FLT3 targeted short hairpin RNA (FLT3-shRNA) on acute leukaemia cell line THP-1, three FLT3-shRNAs (shRNA1, shRNA2, shRNA3) were designed and synthesized by transcription system in vitro and then transfected into THP-1 cells. FLT3 mRNA was analyzed by semi-quantitative RT-PCR, FLT3 protein was detected by Flow cytometry and immunofluorescence. The results indicated that FLT3 expression was downregulated by shRNA1 and shRNA3, and shRNA1 showed stronger inhibitory effect. At 48 hours following transfection, the inhibitory rate of 25 nmol/L shRNA1 was 72.95 +/- 2.07%, lasting 72 hours. The 5 nmol/L and more concentration of FLT3 shRNA1 could downregulate FLT3 mRNA level, which displayed a quantity-effect relation; the inhibitory rate of 15 nmol/L shRNA1 was 67.53 +/- 0.66%. FLT3 protein was located on THP-1 cell membrance, its expression was downregulated obviously by shRNA1, at 72 hours following transfection the inhibitory rate of shRNA1 was 79.67 +/- 0.66%. shRNA1 showed the best inhibitory effect on FLT3 protein, the optimal time of which was 72 hours with an inhibitory rate of 79.67%. It is concluded that FLT3-shRNA1 shows a desireable FLT3-targeted inhibitory effect, which can be used for further investigation of FLT3 mechanism or FLT3 targeting treatment.
