Objective To express lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) gene of Plasmodium falciparum FCC1/HN in the E. coli TG1 and analyse its immunocompetence. Methods The LDH gene of the P. falciparum was specifically amplified by polymerase chain reaction, and the recovered gene fragment was cloned into pGEX 4T 1 vector for expression of fusion protein with glutathione S transferase(GST). The recombinant plasmid was transformed into the E. coli TG1. Four mice (Kunming strain) were immunized with purified expressed protein(antigen) and the polyclonal antibodies were collected. The immunocompetence of recombinant protein was analysed by ELISA and Western blot. Results The LDH gene of P. falciparum was successfully expressed in the E. coli TG1. The expressed protein exhibited a specific reaction with immune sera obtained from rabbits immunized with P. falciparum . The specific humoral responses were induced in mice and the titer of the specific antibody was 1∶16 by two dimensional diffusion assay. Conclusion The LDH gene of P. falciparum has been successfully expressed in the E. coli TG1 and the expressed protein has high antigencity.

Efficient gene delivery and sustained gene expression are required for successful human gene therapy.Although viral vectors are considered the most efficient vehicles for gene transfer,currently available viral vectors have not fully achieved these two requirements.Lentiviral vectors(LVs)can integrate into host chromosomes,allowing long-term gene expression,in addition,these vectors are non-toxic and minimally immunogenic since no viral genes are encoded in the vector genome,but are still limited to in vitro or ex vivo gene delivery because of their relatively low titers using transient transfection experiments.In order to develop an efficient transient transfection method for large-scale production of high titer lentiviral vector stocks,a minimal lentiviral vector producing system based on vaccinia virus that synthesizes T7 RNA polymerase was developed.BHK21 was co-transfected by three main plasmids containing the transducing plasmid pVECRNA,the packaging plasmid pGAGPOL and the envelope plasmid pVSVG,and thereafter infected with the vaccinia vTF-3 containing bacteriophage T7 RNA polymerase gene using Lipofectamin2000TM.After 4 days,the culture supernatant of lentiviral vectors was collected,the RNA from the supernatant was examined by the RT-PCR,the protein from the supernatant was examined by Western blot,and the supernatant was used to transfect normal 293T,HepG2 and Vero,which were observed by the immunofluorescence microscopy.The type of cell lines,plasmids dosage and the MOI(the proportion between cell numbers and virus copies)were considered so critical to the output of this system that 3?3?3 factorial design was used to explore the yield optimization of this system.As judged by the results of RT-PCR and the Western blot,lentiviral vectors were found in the culture supernatant;as judged by immunofluorescence with microscopy,293T,HepG2 and Vero which were transfected by the supnantant expressed the report protein-green fluorescent protein(GFP),the results confirmed the valid infectivity of the lentiviral vector produced by the system.Eventually,the best titers of lentiviral vector stocks was up to 1.3?108 tu/ml,which is one order of magnitude higher than the output of classical manufacture system.The new poxviral/lentiviral hybrid system for efficient lentiviral vector production was initially established.It provides the basis for the future development of industrial application.

Objective To explore the inhibitory effects of Corilagin on the production of proinflammatory cytokines in microglia induced by radiation. Methods The cytotoxicity of Corilagin was measured by MTT assay. Microglia BV-2 cells were irradiated 0 or 32 Gy after pretreated with Corilagin for 12 hours. Realtime-PCR was used to detect the mRNA levels of inflammatory cytokines, such as IL-1β,TNF-α on several time-points. The content of nitric oxide (NO) was determined with nitrate reductase method. The translocation of NF-κB was measured by Western blot and immunocytochemical stain.Confocal microscopy was used to observe the expression of Iba-1 and Nemo. Results No cytotoxicity was detected on BV-2 cells with 1-10 μg/ml Corilagin. Iba-1 expression in microglia cells was activated by irradiation, the expression levels of inflammatory cytokines, such as IL-1β, TNF-α and NO were also elevated. Whereas, the production of IL-1 β, TNF-α in activated microglia cells was significantly inhibited with 5 μg/mL corilagin ( tIL-1β = 6. 341, tTNF-α = 3.41 1, tNO = 3. 134, P ＜ 0. 05 ). Corilagin significantly inhibited the expression of Nemo and the translocation of NF-κB p65. Conclusion Corilagin could inhibit the activation of irradiated microglia cells and down-regulate the expression of inflammatory cytokines, via inhibition of the NF-κB signaling pathway.

OBJECTIVETo construct a lentiviral-vector-mediated CyPA small interference RNA (siRNA) and study its function in non-small cell lung cancer.

METHODSFirst, four target sequences were selected according to CyPA mRNA sequence, the complementary DNA contained both sense and antisense oligonucleotides were designed, synthesized and cloned into the pGCL-GFP vector, which contained U6 promoter and green fluorescent protein (GFP). The resulting lentiviral vector containing CyPA shRNA was named Lv-shCyPA, and it was confirmed by PCR and sequencing. Next, it was cotransfected by Lipofectamine 2000 along with pHelper1.0 and pHelper 2.0 into 293T cells to package lentivirus particles. At the same time, the packed virus infected non-small cell lung cancer cell (A549), the level of CyPA protein at 5 d after infection was detected by Western Blot to screen the target of CyPA. A549 were infected with Lv-shCyPA and grown as xenografts in severe combined immunodeficient mice. Cell cycle and apoptosis were measured by FCM.

RESULTSIt was confirmed by PCR and DNA sequencing that lentiviral-vector-mediated CyPA siRNA (Lv-shCyPA) producing CyPA shRNA was constructed successfully. The titer of concentrated virus were 1 x 10(7) TU/ml. Flow cytometric analysis demonstrated G2-M phase (11.40% +/- 0.68%) was decreased relatively in A549/LvshCyPA compared with control groups (14.52% +/- 1.19%) (P<0.05). The apoptosis rate of A549/Lv-shCyPA (5.01% +/- 0.5%) was higher than control groups (0.35% +/- 0.17%) (P<0.05). Visible tumors were only detectable at 6th day after inoculated by A549/Lv-shCyPA. The xenograft tumors of A549/Lv-shCyPA remarkably delayed tumor growth and remained at a similarly small average size at 38th days after inoculation compared with the control group (P < 0.05).

CONCLUSIONLentiviral-vector-mediated siRNA technique effectively inhibits the expression of CyPA, induces the NSCLC cell apoptosis, inhibits the tumor growth. Elucidation of the precise role of CypA in these pathways may lead to new targeted therapies for non-small cell lung cancer.
