Poly( ADP-ribose) polymerase 1 (PARP-1) plays an essential role in DNA repair and maintenance of homeostasis and genome stability. Increased PARP-1 activity has been reported in various forms of cancer. Thus the absence of PARP-1 or the use of its inhibitors depresses DNA repair function, sensitizes cancer cells to DNA damage and enhances the therapeutic effect of radio-or chemotherapy. PARP-1 is potentially a therapeutic target of malignant tumors.

[Adstract] Micro-lecture, as the main teaching form of MOOC and SPOC network teaching platform, is deeply welcomed by the majority of students. Pathology is the bridge connecting basic medicine and clin-ical medicine in medical education, which has such characteristics as many knowledge points, dispersion and obscurity, etc. Therefore, the production of micro courses is based on the knowledge points, and according to the characteristics of the knowledge points, it should also be applied reasonably according to the charac-teristics of each chapter. Adopting the teaching of self-study after class and teachers and students' discussion in class for micro courses can not only greatly improve the quality of teaching, but also develop the students' ability of independent thinking and the ability to analyze and solve problems, which transforms the teaching of pathology from pure knowledge to ability.

Objective To investigate the expression of BRAF-activated long non-coding RNA (BANCR) in colorectal cancer,and the influence of BANCR on the biological function of HCT116 cells.Methods Fifty-six samples of colorectal cancer specimen (including the cancer tissues and precancerous tissues) were obtained at the First Affiliated Hospital of Nanjing Medical University from March 2012 to June 2013.The expressions of BANCR in all the specimens were detected by qRT-PCR (28 cases in the BANCR-high expression group and 28 cases in the BANCR-low expression group).The relationship between the expressions of BANCR and the clinicopathological factors of colorectal cancer was analyzed.The HCT116 cells were divided into 4 groups after interfering BANCR with lentiviral-mediated shRNA-1 and shRNA-2:interference group 1 (HCT116 cells transfected with LV-shRNA-1),interference group 2 (HCT116 cells transfected with LV-shRNA-2),negative control group (HCT116 cells transfected with lentivirus vector with nonsense sequence) and blank control group (HCT116 cells cultured in RPMI 1640 medium).The proliferation,apoptosis and migration of HCT116 cells in the 4 groups were detected by CCK-8 assay,flow cytometry and Transwell assay,respectively.The comparison between the 2 groups was analyzed by u test,and multiple groups were compared by one-way analysis of variance,repeated measurement analysis of variance and LSD-t test.Multivariate analysis was done by Logistic regression model.The difference between categorical data was compared by chi-square test.Results The relative expression of BANCR in the cancer tissues was 1.6 ± 0.4,which was significantly higher than 0.9 ± 0.7 of the precancerous tissues (u =1 020.000,P ＜ 0.05).The result of univariate analysis showed that the high expression of BANCR was correlated with the lymph node metastasis and tumor stage (x2 =4.595,7.487,P ＜ 0.05).The result of multivariate analysis showed that lymph node metastasis and tumor stage (stage Ⅲ-Ⅳ) were the independent risk factors influencing the high expression of BANCR(OR =4.000,5.914,95％ CI:1.230-12.900,1.685-20.760,P ＜ 0.05).The relative expressions of BANCR of the interference group 1,interference group 2,negative control group and the blank control group were 0.25 ±0.04,0.20±0.06,0.96 ±0.04,0.98 ±0.03,with significant difference among the 4 groups (F =271.610,P ＜ 0.05).The cell proliferation rates at day 6 of the interference group 1,interference group 2 and the negative control group were 80.6％ ± 7.6％,81.2％ ± 5.1％ and 87.9％ ± 13.6％,with no significant difference among the 3 groups (F =0.559,P ＞ 0.05).The apoptotic rates of the interference group 1,interference group 2,negative control group and the blank control group were 4.7％ ± 1.7％,5.1％ ± 1.1％,3.1％ ± 0.6％ and 2.8％ ± 0.9％,with no significant difference among the 4 groups (F =2.881,P ＞ 0.05).The numbers of transmembrane cells of the interference group 1,interference group 2,negative control group and the blank control group were 135 ± 29,107 ± 18,240 ± 24 and 245 ± 22,with significant difference among the 4 groups (F =45.194,P ＜ 0.05).Conclusions BANCR was overexpressed in the HCT116 cells,and the BANCR overexpression was correlated with lymph node metastasis and tumor stage.BANCR can promote the migration of HCT116 cells.BANCR could be an important biomarker for the diagnosis and prognosis of colorectal cancer.

Objective To establish a doxycycline-controlled immortalized pre-cartilaginons stem cells (IPCSCs) strains, clone parathroid hormone-related peptide[PTHrP(1-36)] gene and construct re- sponsive plasmid, pTRE-PTHrP (1-36). Methods Plasmid pTet-on was transfected into IPCSCs by using LipoinfectaminTM 2000 and then the stable clones were obtained by G418 screening. The doxycyc- line was added into the medium of monoclonal cells that were transiently transfected with plasmid pTRE- 2Hyg-Lue. The total RNA was extracted from PCSCs and the PTHrP(1-36) gene obtained by RT-PCR method. Then, the PTHrP (1-36) gene was subcloned to plasmids of Tet-responsive element with the se- lection marker of hygromycin pTRE-2Hyg to construct recombinant eukaryotic expression plasmid pTRE- PTHrP(1-36). After transferred into E. coli-DH5α, the clone was amplified, the recombinant plasm0ids were purified and identified by double-enzyme digestion. Results The doxycycline induced IPCSCs line was obtained, with 50 times higher than the non-induced cell line. Double enzyme digestion analysis and sequencing showed that the target gene was cloned into recombinant plasmid. Conclusions The induced IPCSCs line can be used to highly express alien genes. The responsive plasmid containing PTHrP (1-36) gene may be premising for rigorous control of PTHrp (1-36) gene expression.
