Objective To investigate the expression of miR-195 and its association with clinicopathologic features in gastric cancer. Methods The expression level of miR-195 in 30 cases of gastric cancer and matched non-tumor adjacent tissue specimens were examined by using reverse transcription real-time PCR.The relationship between the expression of miR-195 and its clinicopathologic features of gastric cancer was analyzed.At the same time, the expression of miR-195 in four gastric cancer cell lines and normal human gastric epithelial cells were detected. Results The expression level of miR-195 was significantly lower in the tumor tissues than that in the adjacent tissues (P<0.05). Down-regulated miR-195 expression was associated with lymph node metastasis (P<0.05) in gastric cancer patients. Clinical and pathological analysis showed that miR-195 in gastric carcinoma tissues had no relationship with sex, age, the degree of tumor differentiation and tumor metastasis stage. Conclusion It is possible that miR-195 plays an important role in the generation and progression of gastric cancer, and it was associated with lymph node metastasis in gastric cancer patients.

Objective To observe the effects of the intervention of Didang Decoction at different times on changes of AMPK signaling pathway related factors in macrovascular endotheliocytes of diabetic rats; To discuss the mechanism of mitochondria energy metabolism regulating the AMPK signaling pathway for macrovascular endothelial defense function. Methods Injection of STZ into the caudal vein and administration of high fat diet wer used to generate diabetic rat model. All rats were randomly divided into the following 7 groups: control, model, metformin, simvastatin, early-, middle-, and late-stage Didang Decoction group. Western blot was used to detect the expressions of APMKα1 and PGC-1α in rat aortic endothelial cells. Changes in the intracellular AMP and ATP levels were detected by ELISA. Real time fluorescence quantitative PCR was used to detected mRNA expressions of Caspase-3, eNOS, and Bcl-2 in tissue of thoracic aorta. Results Compared with the model group, the expressions of AMPKα1 and PGC-1α in the early-stage and middle-stage Didang Decoction group and simvastatin group increased (P<0.05); the gene expressions of Bcl-2, and eNOS significantly increased in the early-stage Didang Decoction group and simvastatin group (P<0.05), while the expressions of Caspase-3 decreased significantly (P<0.05). The expression of ATP increased significantly and the expression of AMP decreased significantly in the early-stage Didang Decoction group and simvastatin group (P<0.05), and the best effects were shown in the early-stage Didang Decoction group. Conclusion Early intervention of Didang Decoction can enhance energy metabolism in the mitochondria of macrovascular endothelial cells by regulating the AMPK signaling pathway, and then plays a role in strengthening the defense function of macrovascular endothelial cells.

A novel HBV integration site involved in hepatocarcinogenesis was investigated. The HBV DNA integration sites were detected by Alu-PCR in hepatocellular carcinoma tissues, matched surrounding liver tissues in 30 patients with hepatitis B-related hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) and 3 cases of normal liver tissues. The integration sites and flanking sequences in human genome were sequenced and blasted, and the expression of integrated HBV genes was determined by reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR). The influence of the up-regulated expression of integrated genes on hepatocarcinogenesis was analyzed. Nineteen integration sites of HBV DNA into HCC tissues were obtained by RT-PCR and sequencing. These genes encoding proteins were: LOC51030, LOC157777, minichromosome maintenance complex component 3 associated protein (MCM3AP), MCTP1, SH3 and multiple ankyrin repeat domains 2 isoform 2, CCDC40, similar to HCG2033532, mitochondrial ribosomal S5 pseudogene 4. One of them was integrated into the intron of MCM3AP. RT-PCR demonstrated that the expression levels of MCM3AP mRNA in HCC tissues, matched surrounding liver tissues and normal liver tissues were in a descendent order. The ratio of MCM3AP mRNA to the GAPDH mRNA in these three tissues was 1.07375, 0.21573, 0.06747 respectively, with the difference being statistically significant among them (P<0.05). Meanwhile, the expression levels of MCM3AP mRNA from HCC tissues in which HBV DNA integrated into MCM3AP were still significantly higher than those without HBV DNA integrated into MCM3AP. It was concluded that the HBV DNA integration sites into human genome were random, and MCM3AP was a new site. The up-regulated MCM3AP mRNA may affect flanking sequences which promote the hepatocarcinogenesis.
