Objective To evaluate the association between isotretinoin pharmacokinetic parameters and CYP2B6 (cytochrome p-450) gene polymorphisms. Methods Blood samples were collected at different time points from 21 healthy male volunteers who received a single 40-rng oral dose of isotretinoin. High performance liquid chromatography-electrospray ionization mass spectrometry (LC-MS) was used for the quantification of isotretinoin in plasma samples which were standardized by dosage and body weight. PCR and restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) analysis were performed to detect the G516T mutation in exon 4 as well as A785G mutation in exon 5 of CYP2B6 gene in these subjects. Results There was an obvious genetic linkage imbalance in exon 4 and 5 of CYP2B6 gene among these volunteers. In the case of CYP2B6*4 allele,3 (14.29%) people were CYP2B6*4/*4 homozygotes, 6 (28.57%) CYP2B6*1/*4 heterozygotes, and 12 (57.14%) CYP2B6*1/*1 wild-type homogygotes, while as far as CYP2B6*6 allele was concerned, 3 (14.29%)people were CYP2B6*6/*6 homozygotes, 5 (23.81%) CYP2B6*1/*6 heterozygotes, and 13 (61.90%)CYP2B6*1/*1 wild-type homozygotes. The reaction half-time (t1/2) and mean residence time (MRT) of isotretinoin were longer in volunteers carrying wild-type CYP2B6*4 allele than those of CYP2B6*4/*4 homozygotes (both P < 0.05 ), while no significant difference was observed in maximum concentration (Cmax), peak time (Tmax) or area under the plasma concentration time (AUC) between the two groups of volunteers. There was no statistical difference in any of the above parameters between subjects carrying wild type CYP2B6*6 allele and those of CYP2B6 *6/*6 homozygotes (all P > 0.05 ). Conclusions The mutation of CYP2B6*4 allele ia relevant to the metabolism of isotretinoin, which seems to be more rapid in CYP2B6*4/*4 homozygotes.

Objective To investigate the expression and significance of Matriptase and HAI-1 protein in prostate cancer (CaP). Methods Specimens of 46 prostate cancers,20 benign prostate hyperplasias (BPH),10 high-grade intraepithelial neoplasias (PIN),and 10 normal prostates (NP) were used. Expressions of Matriptase and HAI-1 proteins in specimens were detected by SP of immunohistochemistry. The results were analyzed in relation to the clinicopathological data. Results The protein levels of Matriptase in CaP tissues were significantly higher than PIN tissues(Z=-2.150,P=0.032),and the expression of matriptase in CaP and PIN was higher than that in BPH and NP (Z=-3.270,P=0.001;Z=-2.817,P=0.005). No statistically significant difference was observed between BPH and NP group (Z=-0.895,P=0.325). A progressive increase in the protein levels of Matriptase was observed with increasing tumor grade (rs=0.583,P<0.01) and clinical stages(rs=0.611,P<0.01)in CaP specimens. The protein levels of HAI-1 in BPH and NP tissues were significantly higher than CaP and PIN tissues(Z=-3.277,-3.315,P<0.01),the levels of HAI-1 in PIN were higher than CaP (Z=-2.310,P=0.020). No statistically significant difference was found between BPH and NP (Z=-0.872,P=0.330). A progressive decrease in the protein levels of HAI-1 was observed with increasing tumor grades(rs=-0.634,P<0.01) and clinical stages(rs=-0.521,P<0.01). The expressions of Matriptase and HAI-1 in CaP tissues showed negative correlations(rs=-0.712,-0.560,-0.465,respectively,P<0.01). Conclusions The abnormal expressions of Matriptase and HAI-1 proteins may be important events during the progression of CaP in humans. Matriptase and HAI-1 Protein may be used as parameters for assessing the malignancy and prognosis of CaP.

OBJECTIVE To investigate the effect of furanodiene(FDE),a diterpene derived from the medicinal plant Zedoary,on apoptosis of human gastric cancer MGC-803 cells induced in vitro. METHODS MGC-803 cells were treated with FDE 46.29~740.74μmol·L-1 for 24,48 and 72 h,and the cell viability was detected with MTT assay. Cell morphology was observed by light microscopy and Hoechst33342 staining. Flow cytometry was used to detect cell apoptotic rate and cell cycle. Rh123 staining and fluorescence probe DCFH-DA were employed to detect the changes in mitochondrial membrane potential (MMP) and reactive oxygen species(ROS). RESULTS MTT Results showed that FDE 46.29-740.74μmol · L-1 exhibited significantly higher cytotoxicity to gastric cancer MGC-803 cells. IC50 for MGC-803 of 24,48 and 72 h treatment was 347.91,257.41 and 101.01μmol·L-1,respectively. Treatment with FDE 92.58-370.32μmol·L-1 for 24 h also caused significant morphological changes in MGC-803 cells. AnnexinⅤ-FITC/PI double staining showed that the apoptotic rate increased after FDE 92.58-370.32μmol·L-1 treatment for 24 h(P<0.05). FDE enabled MGC-803 cell cycle arrest in S phase. DCFH-DA staining showed that FDE resulted in an increase in intracellular ROS levels(P<0.05) when PDE concentration was 370.37μmol·L-1(P<0.05). MMP decreased after FDE treatment when PDE concen?tration was 370.37μmol·L-1(P<0.05). CONCLUSION FDE Possesses potent tumor selected toxicity and can induce apoptosis of MGC-803 cells through cell cycle arresting,which is related to inhibition of DNA biosynthesis.
