As a kind of pesticide, fungicide and preservative, PCP had been used extensively in industry, agriculture and domesticity throughout the world. PCP contamination is generally associated with sediments or soil, it can also concentrate in organism. Regarding the character of high toxicity, long persistence and difficult to degrade, PCP has become a kind of conspicuous environmental pollutant because of widely use and inappropriate disposal. In the contaminated area, PCP can be detected in the water, soil and the body of organisms. PCP can affect human health through directly exposure or through food chain. The absorbed PCP can be stored in liver, kidney and fat,it can also increase the incidence rate of tumork, disturb the endocrine system, affect immune function,inhibit reproduction and development. PCP not only has a direct impairment on human body but also shows a potential impact in genetics.

4. Inhibition of Autophagy Gene Beclin1 Enhances the Drug Sensitivity of Human Myeloid Leukemia Resistant Cell K562/IMA to Imatinib
Chinese Pharmaceutical Journal 2019;54(4):284-290
OBJECTIVE: To investigate the effect of autophagy gene Beclin1 silencing on enhancing the drug sensitivity of imatinib-resistant human myeloid leukemia cell line K562/IMA. METHODS: Imatinib-resistant human myeloid leukemia cell line K562/IMA was constructed by the combination of the first dose of high-dose shock therapy and gradual increase of dose. Imatinib interfered with K562 and K562/IMA cell lines. Cell viability was detected by CCK-8. Apoptosis rate was detected by flow cytometry. Western-blot assay was used to determine the drug resistance level. The expression of Beclin1 in drug resistant strains was detected. Small interfering RNA (siRNA) transfected Beclin1 siRNA-Beclin1 was used to silence the Beclin1 gene of K562/IMA. Control group (control), siRNA negative control group (siRNA-NC) and Beclin1 siRNA group (siRNA-Beclin1) were set up. RT-QPCR and Western-blot were used to identify the expression level of Beclin1 protein and mRNA in each group after silencing. CCK-8 method was used to detect the sensitivity of each group of cells to imatinib, and the half inhibitory concentration IC50 was calculated. The apoptosis rate of each group was detected by flow cytometry. The expression levels of Beclin 1, Bcl-2, Bax, cleaved-caspase 3, caspase-3 and cytochrome C(cyto-C) were detected by Western-blot assay, and the metastatic and invasive ability of cells was detected by Transwell chamber. RESULTS: K562 / IMA cell lines were resistant to imatinib at 10 μmol•L-1, and the expression of Beclin1 was higher than that of K562 cell lines. The cell viability of K562/IMA was significantly higher than that of K562 cell lines in the gradient concentration range, while the apoptosis rate was lower than that of K562 cell lines. After siRNA silencing Beclin-1, the cell viability and apoptosis rate of siRNA-Beclin 1 group were significantly lower than those of control group, and the IC50 value of half inhibitory concentration was significantly lower than that of control group. The levels of Bax, cleaved-caspase 3, caspase-3 and cyto-C in the cells were significantly higher than those in the control group, while the levels of Bcl-2 were significantly lower than those in the control group. CONCLUSION: Beclin1 plays an important role in imatinib resistance in human myeloid leukemia, and autophagy may be involved in the drug resistance process. After silencing Beclin1, cell resistance level can be reduced and drug sensitivity improved.

CB2-selective agonists have drawn attention in drug discovery, since CB2 becomes a promising target for the treatment of neuropathic pain without psychoactive or other CNS-related side effects. However, the lack of experimental data of the 3D structures of human cannabinoid receptors hampers the understanding of the binding modes between ligands and CB2 by traditional methods. In the present work, combinational molecular modeling studies including flexible docking, MD simulations and free energy calculations were performed to investigate the interaction modes and mechanism of CB2-unselective agonist CP55940 and CB2-selective agonist GW842166X, separately binding with the homology model of CB2 in a DPPC/TIP3P simulated membrane environment. The binding free energies calculated by MM-PBSA method give an explanation for the activity differences of the studied ligands. Binding free energies decomposition by MM-GBSA method shows that the van der Waals interaction is the dominant driving force during the binding process. Our MD simulations demonstrate that Phe197 could be a critical residue for the binding of CB2-selective agonists. Furthermore, by using the MD simulated binding conformer as a template, the 3D-QSAR studies were performed with the comparative molecular field analysis (CoMFA) approach on a set of GW842166X analogues. A combinational exploration of both CoMFA steric and potential contour maps for CB2 affinities and the MD studied interaction modes sheds light on the structural requirements for CB2 agonists and serves as a basis for the design of novel CB2 agonists.
