Objective To investigate the radiosensitizing effect of knock-down the expression of miR-21 on human SHG-44 glioma cells and explore the possible mechanism. Methods Antisense oligonuleotidas of miR-21, mediated by LipofectamineTM 2000, were transfected to SHG-44 cells. Three groups were: blank control group ( mock group), negative control and antisense transfected group ( AS-miR-21 gorup). Cells of each group were irradiated with 6 MeV X-rays at the doses of 0,1,2,4,6 and 8 Gy.Dose-suvivial curve was established by colony-forming assay. The influence of AS-miR-21 on cell cycle and cell apoptosis was analyzed by flow cytometry assay after 6 Gy irradiation. Results The value of D0 and Dq of AS-miR-21 group declined obviously compared with the mock group and negative control group. Flow cytometric analysis showed that cell cycle distribution changed( G0/G1 phase arrest, S phase decreased)after transfected with AS-miR-21 (t = 8.18, -4.52,P < 0.05 ). The sensitization enhancement ratios of D0 and Dq were 1.32 and 2.10 respectively. Apoptosis assay showed the early apoptosis rate was signiflcantely increased in AS-miR-21 、irradition alone and combined group than mock control group( t = 20.14,11.11,50.07, P < 0.05). Conclusions AS-miR-21 can enhance the radiosensitivity of human glioma cells SHG-44 by promoting cell apoptosis and faciliating cell cycle redistribution.

OBJECTIVETo study the association between the single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in the high-temperature requirement A-1 (HTRA1) gene and rheumatoid arthritis (RA) in Chinese Han population.
METHODSFive SNPs in the HTRA1 gene (rs2014307, rs2248799, rs2300433, rs714816 and rs2268356) were genotyped by ABI Snapshot method in Han Chinese cohort composed of 344 patients with RA and 288 healthy controls. The serum rheumatoid factor (RF) and C-reactive protein (CRP) of the patients were determined by endpoint nephelometry method.
RESULTSGenotypes of all the five SNPs in the HTRA1 gene were not significantly different between the RA patients and controls (P> 0.05). Haplotypes generated by these five SNPs did not show significantly difference between the two groups either (P> 0.05). Serum RF levels in the RA patients had no significant difference among the genotypes for four SNPs (rs2014307, rs2248799, rs714816, and rs2268356) in the HTRA1 gene, while RF levels in the RA patients with genotypes AA+AG of the rs2300433 locus were significantly higher than that in genotype GG carriers (P< 0.05). Serum CRP levels in the RA patients had no significant difference among the genotypes for all the five SNPs.
CONCLUSIONAuthor's results suggested that although the five SNPs in the HTRA1 gene were not associated with RA in Chinese Han population, RF levels in the RA patients with genotypes AA and AG in the rs2300433 locus were significantly higher than the GG carriers. The HTRA1 role in RF regulation needs to be further investigated.

OBJECTIVETo study the effect of podophyllotoxin nanostructured lipid carriers (POD-NLC) on immortalized human cervical epithelial cells (H8) infected with HPV in vitro.
METHODSPOD-NLC was prepared by emulsion evaporation method and characterized using transmission electron microscopy, Zetasizer analyzer and high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). H8 cells were treated with different concentrations (0.0001-1 µg/ml) of POD-NLC, free POD, or blank nanostructured lipid carriers (NLC), and the cell proliferation was assessed using MTT assay to evaluate the cytotoxic effects. The changes of cell morphology were observed using fluorescence microscopy, and the cell cycle changes and cell apoptosis were analyzed using flow cytometry.
RESULTSPOD-NLC showed a spherical or elliptical shape with good stability in vitro. The average particle size of POD-NLC was 85.6∓10.25 nm, with a Zeta potential of 26.2∓4.1 mV and entrapment efficiency of POD of (88.56∓3.1)%. POD-NLC caused a significant inhibition of H8 cell proliferation in a concentration- and time-dependent manner. At an equivalent concentration, POD-NLC produced a stronger inhibitory effect on cell proliferation than POD. The inhibition rate of H8 cells after a 48-h exposure to POD-NLC and POD reached 95.8% and 65.6%, respectively, and at the highest concentration of 1 µg/ml, the IC(50) of POD-NLC and POD was 0.015 µg/ml and 0.13 µg/ml, respectively. Blank NLC did not obviously affect the proliferation of H8 cells. POD-NLC and POD both caused obvious increases in G(2)/M phase cell percentages and induced typical apoptotic changes of the cells, and their effects were comparable (P>0.05).
CONCLUSIONCompared with POD, POD-NLC has more potent effect in inhibiting H8 cell proliferation and inducing cell apoptosis, suggesting its potential in the treatment of cervical HPV infection.
