Molecular genetic map is a fundamental organizational tool for genomic research. However, a genetic linkage map for Bupleurum chinense DC. has not been developed. In this study, with the theory of pseudo-testcross, 96 F1 plants from an intraspecific cross of B. chinense were used as mapping populations. Twenty eight ISSR (inter-simple sequence repeat) primers and 44 SSR (simple sequence repeat) primers were used to detect the polymorphisms between the parental plants, and of them, 28 ISSRs and 14 SSRs were selected to analyze the F1 populations. The map consisted of 13 linkage groups which included 80 (72 ISSRs and 8 SSRs) loci, and covered 2 633.9 cM with an average density of 33.4 cM. All 13 linkage groups consisted of 2-31 loci ranging in length from 15.4-1295.7 cM. This map will provide a basis for studies on gene mapping, map-based cloning and maker-assisted selection of important traits in B. chinense.

The aim of this study was to analyse the clinical characteristics and laboratory data, treatment and prognosis of polycythemia vera (PV). A retrospective study was performed for 71 PV patients treated in our hospital during January 2001 to July 2011 including analysis of clinical characteristics, laboratory data, myelogram chromosome karyotypes, BCR/ABL and JAK2V617F genes, as well as lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) and neuron-specific enolase (NSE) levels in serum and so on. The results showed that 71 patients (37 males and 34 females with a average age of 57.8 years) were diagnosed. Thrombosis and embolism occurred in 34 patients (47.89%), hemorrhage in 10 patients (14.08%), splenomegaly occurred in 44 patients. The onset of the disease was insidious, 13 patients (18.31%) were found to have PV during the treatments for other diseases. The average hemoglobin at diagnosis was 206.31 (171 - 242) g/L. JAK2V617F mutation was detected in 31 (81.58%) of 38 patients studied. The average levels of serum LDH and NSE were higher than normal and both positively correlated with hemoglobin (P = 0.007, P = 0.005). The disease outcomes were myelofibrosis for 3 patients, death from cerebral hemorrhage for 1 patient, and death from ineffective chemotherapy in 1 patient with ANLL-M2. It is concluded that PV is a chronic myeloproliferative disorder characterized predominantly by thrombosis and hemorrhage. The serum LDH and NSE levels are higher than the normal values. It is inferred that the serum LDH and NSE levels can reflect the degree of malignant proliferation of bone marrow hematopoietic cells and also can be used as an indicator to judge the therapeutic effect of PV.

OBJECTIVETo determine the autocrine effect of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) on epidermal keratinocytes HaCaT cells.

METHODSCultured HaCaT cells were treated with various concentrations of VEGF(165) (0,1,5,10,25,50,100 ng/ml) or Avastin (0,0.063,0.125,0.25,0.50,1.0,2.0 mg/ml) in vitro. HaCaT cell proliferation was determined by MTT assay and the cell migration was measured by migration assay. The effect of VEGF(165) (10 ng/ml) on phosphorylation of ERK1/2 was detected in HaCaT cells pretreated or not pretreated with Avastin (0.5 mg/ml).

RESULTSVEGF enhanced the proliferation and migration of HaCaT cells in a dose-dependent manner, while Avastin inhibited the effects of VEGF also in a dose-dependent manner. VEGF(165) (10 ng/ml) induced the phosphorylation of ERK1/2 in HaCaT cells,but which was blocked by Avastin (0.5 mg/ml).

CONCLUSIONVEGF enhanced the proliferation and migration of HaCaT cells in a dose-dependent manner, while Avastin inhibited the effects of VEGF also in a dose-dependent manner. VEGF(165) (10 ng/ml) induced the phosphorylation of ERK1/2 in HaCaT cells,but which was blocked by Avastin (0.5 mg/ml).

Aim To study the effect of Guben Yanling pills on liver aging in aging mice and the related mech-anism.Methods The mice were randomly divided in-to blank control group,model group,vitamin E group(0.1 g·kg-1)and low,medium and high dose groups(0.59,1.17,2.34 g·kg-1)of Guben Yan-ling pills.The aging mouse model was established by subcutaneous injection of D-galactose(150 mg·kg-1)into the back of neck.At the same time of mod-eling,the corresponding drugs were given by gavage once a day for six weeks.The main organ indexes were calculated.HE staining was used to observe the mor-phology of liver tissue.Colorimetry was used to detect the activity of β-galactosidase in liver.ELISA was used to detect the content of TNF-α,IL-1 β,IL-6,IL-4,IL-10.Western blot was used to detect the protein relative expression level of IKKβ,Iκ Bα,NF-κB p65.Immunofluorescence was used to detect the expression level of NF-κB p65.Results Compared with the blank control group,the organ index of the brain,liv-er,kidney,spleen,and thymus in the model group decreased(P＜0.05,P＜0.01),the activity of β-galactosidase increased(P＜0.01),liver tissue mor-phology and structure were significantly damaged,the content of TNF-α,IL-1 β and IL-6 increased(P＜0.01),the content of IL-4 and IL-10 decreased(P＜0.01),the levels of IKKβ,NF-κB p65 in-creased(P＜0.01),the levels of IKBα decreased(P＜0.01),and the levels of NF-κB p65 in nucleus increased(P＜0.01).Compared with the model group,the organ indexes of brain,liver,kidney,spleen,and thymus in each dose group of Guben Yan-ling pills increased(P＜0.05,P＜0.01),the activity of β-galactosidase decreased(P＜0.01),the morpho-logical and structural damage of liver tissue was signifi-cantly improved,the content of TNF-α,IL-1 β and IL-6 decreased(P＜0.01),the content of IL-4 and IL-10 increased(P＜0.01),the levels of IKKβ,NF-κB p65 decreased(P＜0.01),the levels of IκBα in-creased(P＜0.01),and the levels of NF-κB p65 in nucleus decreased(P＜0.01).Conclusions Guben Yanling pills can antagonize liver aging in mice,and its mechanism may be related to inhibiting the activa-tion of NF-κB signaling pathway in liver,downregulat-ing downstream pro-inflammatory factor levels,upregu-lating anti-inflammatory factor levels,and alleviating inflammation in liver.

OBJECTIVETo investigate the anti-tumor effect and the mechanism of down-regulation of HER - 2 by cabamazepine in SKBR - 3 cells , a breast cancer cell line with HER - 2 over - expression.

METHODSWestern blotting was performed to evaluate the Her-2 expression level. The mRNA level of HER-2 was detected by RT-PCR. Immunoprecipitation was applied to detect the chaperon function and acetylation level of HSP90. The viability of cells was tested by MTT assay.

RESULTSCabamazepine treatment down-regulated HER-2 expression. Only HER-2 protein level decrease was observed with 10 micromol/L cabamazepine treatment, but both protein and mRNA expressions were inhibited by 100 micromol/L cabamazepine. Cabamazepine treatment could induce a higher acetylation level of HSP90 and destroy its chaperon function. Cabamazepine exerted synergism with Herceptin in promoting HER-2 protein degradation and synergism or potentiation with Herceptin or 17-AAG in inhibition of proliferation.

CONCLUSIONCabamazepine can reduce the expression of HER-2 and show a synergistic effect with Herceptin or 17-AAG. There may be potential benefits of carbamazepine for cancer therapy in future. HER-2;

OBJECTIVETo analyze the expression of MAP2K4 and vimentin in human endometrial carcinoma (EC) and their association with the clinicopathological features and prognosis of the patients.

METHODSMAP2K4 and vimentin expressions were detected immunohistochemically in paraffin-embedded tissue sections from 128 patients with EC, and the correlation of MAP2K4 and vimentin expressions with the clinicopathological factors of the patients was analyzed.

RESULTSMAP2K4 and vimentin proteins were positively expressed in 49 (38.3%) and 83 (64.8%) of the patients, respectively. A positive expression of MAP2K4 was negatively correlated with FIGO stage of the tumor (P=0.010) and lymph node status (P=0.016); a positive expression of vimentin was positively correlated with FIGO stage of the tumor (P=0.025), histological grades (P=0.017), depth of myometrial invasion (P=0.044) and lymph node status (P=0.032). MAP2K4 was inversely associated with vimentin expression in EC(r=-0.598, P<0.001). Patients positive for MAP2K4 tended to have a higher overall survival rate (P=0.002), and those positive for vimentin tended to have a lower overall survival rate (P=0.007); patients positive for MAP2K4 but negative for vimentin had the longest survival time, while those negative for MAP2K4 and positive for vimentin had lowest survival rate (P=0.004).

CONCLUSIONDetection of MAP2K4 and vimentin might help in early diagnosis and prognostic evaluation of patients with EC.
