Objective:This study aims to analyze the differences in the alternative splicing pattern of ADAR2 among glioma cell lines U87, U251, A172, and normal human astrocyte HA1800. Methods:A-to-I editing level at the Q/R-Site of GluR-2 was analyzed by RT-PCR and sequencing. Real-time PCR was performed to detect the expression level of each alternatively splicing variant using a specific primer that was confirmed to amplify only the targeted template and not other alternatively spliced variant fragments. Results:We verified that the Q/R-Site of GluR-2 is under-edited in glioma cell lines. Real-time PCR revealed that the ADAR2 pre-mRNA splic-ing pattern has no significant difference at exons 1a and 2 between glioma cell lines and normal human astrocyte. We also detected that the amount of alternative splicing variants, including exon 5a, was higher than that of alternative splicing variants not including exon 5a in human glioma cell lines. However, the expression of alternative splicing variants, including exon 5a, was lower than that of alterna-tive splicing variants not including exon 5a in human astrocyte. Conclusion:Evident differences in splicing were observed at the site of exon 5a between glioma cell lines and normal human astrocytes. The difference in the alternatively splicing pattern at exon 5a may be attributed to the decreased activity of ADAR2.

Background and purpose: Sorafenib hepatocellular carcinoma assessment randomized protocol (SHARP) and sorafenib in patients in Asia-Pacific region with hepatocellular carcinoma (ORIENTAL) had indicated that multi-kinase inhibitor sorafenib could prolong overall survival (OS) and time to progression (TTP) as well as improve progress free survival (PFS) in patients with advanced stage hepatocellular carcinoma. Drug-related adverse events in the course of treatment restricted its clinical application to a certain degree. This study was aimed to summerize the adverse events as well as the management of sorafenib in our clinic. Methods: Twenty-five cases clinically diagnosed as advanced hepatocellular carcinoma were enrolled from January 2008 to October 2009. All the patients who received sorafenib treatment met inclusion criteria as followed: (1) Progression of disease after trans-hepatic arterial chemoembolization therapy; (2) Extensive portal vein cancerous thrombus formation; (3) Portal zone or retroperitoneal lymph node metastasis or multiple remote metastasis, such as lung or bone; (4) Diffused poor blood supply to tumor; (5) Inform consent was obtained. All adverse events with different grade were observed during the beginning 12 weeks, and clinical treatment were carried out relatively. Results: Total of 25 cases were enrolled. Nine patients died of the disease, 3 of them died during the first 12 weeks, 3 patients abandoned sorafenib treatment, among them 2 died before the finish of 12 weeks treatment and 1 patient discontinued 5 months after the sorafenib treatment. Twenty cases finally assigned. Number of patients encountered drug-related adverse events were: HFSR (hand-foot-skin-reaction) 4(4/20), diarrhea 4(4/20), alopecia 5(5/20), rasb 4(4/20), fatigue 8(8/20), leukopenia and Thrombocytopenia 4(4/20), elevated blood pressure 1(1/20) and abdominal pain 1(1/20). After clinical management, 20 patients' sorafenib treatment were eventually not affected by adverse events. Conclusion: Sorafenib was well-tolerated and is a safe option of treatment for patients with advanced hepatocellular carcinoma.
