Objective: To analyze the correlation of miR-625 expression with clinicopathological characteristics in esophageal squa-mous cell carcinoma (ESCC) and to explore the effect of miR-625 on the migration and proliferation of ESCC cells. Methods:The expres-sion level of miR-625 was determined through real-time PCR in 86 paired human ESCC tissue specimens and tumor-adjacent normal esophageal tissue specimens, ESCC cell lines, and esophageal epithelial cell line. The associations of miR-625 expression with clinico-pathological characteristics and survival in ESCC patients were analyzed. Transwell and CCK-8 assays were performed to examine the effect of miR-625 expression on migration and proliferation of ESCC cells. Results:Compared with tumor-adjacent normal specimens, miR-625 was significantly downregulated in ESCC tissue specimens (P<0.05). MiR-625 expression was decreased in ESCC cell lines com-pared with human esophageal epithelial cell lines (P<0.05). Lower miR-625 expression was associated with poorer prognosis and sur-vival. The migration and proliferation abilities of ESCC cells were inhibited by miR-625 overexpression (P<0.05). Conclusion:MiR-625 acts as a tumor suppressor gene in the development and progression of ESCC, suggesting that miR-625 may serve as an efficient prog-nosis biomarker and a potential therapeutic target for ESCC.

Objective To investigate the expression of MCM2 and its prognostic significance in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Methods The expression of MCM2 was measured by immunohistochemistry in 73 cases of NSCLC and 10 cases of normal lung tissue. The correlations between the expression of MCM2 and clinic-opathological parameters and prognosis were investigated. Results There was no MCM2 expression in normal lung tissue and positive rate of MCM2 expression was 87.7% in NSCLC. The difference between the two groups was significant (P<0.001). The expression of MCM2 in poorly differentiated NSCLC patients was significantly higher than that in moderately- and well-differentiated NSCLC patients (P=0.008). The expression of MCM2 in patients with squamous carcinoma was higher than that in patients with adenocarcinoma (P=0.005). The hazard ratio was significantly higher(RR=3.389, 95 % CI=1.803-7.146,P<0.001), and the accumulated survival rate was significantly lower (P=0.001) in NSCLC patients with higher MCM2 expression than that of lower expression. MCM2 was independent prognostic factor of NSCLC patients (P=0.041). Conclusion MCM2 could reflect the reproductive activity of NSCLC and has some clinical significance for assessing the development and prognosis of NSCLC. MCM2 was a potential target for future treatment.

Objective To explore expression of the minichromosome maintenance 2 (MCM2)protein and the mucin-like cell surface adhesion molecule CD24 in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) and their relationship with its prognosis. Methods Seventy-three patients of NSCLC diagnosed for the first time and received surgical treatment in Xuanwu Hospital, Beijing were selected for the study. Expression of the MCM2 and CD24 in pathological specimens of the patients was measured by immunohistochemistry and their relationship with its prognosis was analyzed retrospectively. Results High-level expression of the MCM2 and CD24 was seen in 42 and 54 of 73 NSCLC patients, accounting for 57. 5 percent and 74. 0 percent,respectively. Risk of death for the patients with high-level expression of the MCM2 or the CD4 was significantly higher as compared to those with low-level expression ( P < 0. 05 ). Risk of death for patients with both high-level expression of the MCM2 and CD24 was significantly higher than that in those with only high-level expression of the MCM2 or the CD24 (HR =2. 59, 95%CI 1.40 -4. 80, P=0. 002) and in those with both low-level expression of them ( HR = 15.32, 95 % CI = 2.07 - 113.41, P = 0. 008 ). But there was no significant difference in risk of death between patients with high-level expression of the MCM2 or CD24 and those with low-level expression of both of them ( HR = 5. 60, 95% CI 0. 79 - 44. 82, P = 0. 083 ), and cumulative survival rate of patients with both high-level expression of the MCM2 and CD24 was significantly lower than those with only high-level expression of the MCM2 or the CD24 ( P = 0. 001 ). Conclusions Both expression of the MCM2 and the CD24 are independent prognostic factors for NSCLC and combined detection of the two markers have higher prognostic value for it.

AlM: To explore the expression and significance of cysteine- rich 61 ( CCN1/Cyr61 ) in oxygen - induced retinal neovascularization ( RNV) of mice and study the inhibition effect of CCN1 specific siRNA on RNV.
METHODS:Two hundred healthy C57BL/6J mice were chosen and randomly divided into control group, hyperxia group, hyperxia control group and CCN1 treated group, with 50 mice in each group. The hyperxia control group was treated with vector plasmids by intravitreal injection. The CCN1 treated group received CCN1 siRNA recombinant plasmids by intravitreal injection. Adenosine diphosphate-ase ( ADPase) stained retina flat-mounts was performed to assess the retinal vascular profiles, HE staining was applied to count the number of vascular endothelial cell nuclei breaking through the internal limiting membrane, protein and mRNA level expression of CCN1 were measured by immunohistochemistry, Western blot and RT-PCR.
RESULTS: There were large nonperfusion area and a large number of vascular endothelial cell nuclei breaking through the internal limiting membrane ( 25. 25 ± 1. 26;23. 12 ± 1. 16 ) in the hyperxia group and the hyperxia control group. Regions of nonperfusion and vascular endothelial cell nuclei (8. 47±1. 15) were decreased in the CCN1 treated group compared to the hyperxia group and the hyperxia control group. Compared with the control group, there were high protein and mRNA expression of CCN1 in the hyperxia group and the hyperxia control group. The expression of CCN1 protein and mRNA were decreased in the CCN1 treated group compared with the hyperxia group and hyperxia control group (all P<0. 05).
CONCLUSlON: The abnormal expression of CCN1 has close relation with RNV. The development of RNV can be markedly inhibited by RNA interference targeting CCN1, which, we believe, will provide new molecular targets and a rationale for clinical developing new strategy for ROP therapy.

Objective To investigate the relationship between polymorphisms of interleukin-4 receptor (IL-4R) gene (E375A, C406R, Q576R) and childhood asthma in Harbin. Methods Ninety-one (91) children with asthma were included, and 42 healthy children were enrolled as control. The genotype polymorphisms of IL-4R were determined by polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism analysis. Results There was no significant difference in the distributions of the genotypes at both 1 124 A/C polymorphic sites (i.e. E375A polymorphism) and 1 902 A/G polymorphic site (i.e. Q576R polymorphism) in IL-4R between asthmatic group and control group (P > 0.05). There was significant difference in the distributions of the genotypes (CC, CR, RR) on 1 216 T/C polymorphic site (i.e. C406R polymorphism) in IL-4R between the two groups (P < 0.05). The R allele frequency was 22.94% in asthmatic group and 6.58% in control group, with significant difference between the two groups (P < 0.05), but the allele frequencies at this site did not satisfy Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium (P < 0.05). Conclusions Our data suggest that the E375A and Q576R polymorphisms in IL-4R is not associated with the development of asthma in children in Harbin. Further study is needed on the relationship between C406R polymorphism and asthma.
