OBJECTIVE: To synthesize desmosdumotin C derivatives on B-ring with antitumor activity. METHODS: The target compounds were synthesized from 2, 4, 6-trihydroxyacetophenone via methylation, O-methylation and aldol reaction. Their antiproliferative activities were tested against six human tumor cell lines. RESULTS: Fourteen target compounds were synthesized, nine of which were new compounds. All of them were characterized using 1H-NMR, 13C-NMR and MS. CONCLUSION: Preliminary pharmacological test showed that all the title compounds except 1i exhibited potent antitumor activities. 1h and 1n were better than desmosdumotin C in vitro. Introducing two fluoro atom on B-ring would benefit its activity against some tumor cells.

Objective: To investigate the effect of all trans retinoid acid (ATRA) on bone cell proliferation and differentiation. Methods: Newborn rat calvarial osteoblastic cells were isolated and the metabolism of the osteoblastic cells were determined by MTT, Goldens method and immunocytohistologic method. Results: 10 -5 , 10 -6 , 10 -7 , 10 -8 , 10 -9 mol/L ATRA could increase osteoblastic cells proliferation after 72 h culture; 10 -5 , 10 -6 , 10 -7 mol/L ATRA could increase ALP activity. The expression of cyclin D 1 was decreased. Conclusion: ATRA stimulates the proliferation and differentiation of rat calvarial osteoblastic cells in vitro. Cell cycle relative proteins may play an important role in control of cell proliferation and differentiation induced by retinoic acid and derivatives.

Objective To study the correlations between the levels of inhibition C (Cys-C), glycosylated hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) and the coronary lesion. Methods 184 patients were divided into the coronary heart disease (CHD) group (n = 113) and the control group (n = 71) according to coronary angiography. The correlations between the level of Cys-C, HbA1c and Gensini score and coronary vessel lesions were investigated. Results The levels of Cys-C and HbA1c of CHD group were significantly higher than the control group (P<0.05). The levels of Cys-C and HbA1c were positively correlated with Gensini score (r = 0.452, 0.570; P < 0.05). The levels of Cys-C and HbA1c were positively correlated with coronary vessel lesions (P<0.001). Multivariate analysis showed Cys-C and HbA1c were significantly associated with Gensini score (β = 0.221, t = 2.516, P < 0.013;β=0.525, t = 6.342, P < 0.001). There was no significant correlation between the level of Cys-C and Gensini score in the subgroup A (r = 0.102, P = 0.418), and the level of Cys-C was positively correlated with Gensini score in the subgroup B (r=0.440, P<0.002). Conclusions The levels of Cys-C and HbA1c are independently associated with the severity and the vessels of the coronary stenosis. Clinically, the joint detections of the levels of Cys-C and HbA1c are a higher predictive value for coronary artery lesions.

Objective To evaluate the role and mechanism of miR-150 in cardiac fibrosis after MI.Methods A rat model of MI was established by up-regulating miR-150 through overexpressing miR-150 lentivirus.Real-time PCR and Western blot were applied in detecting the expression of collagen 1 α 1 and α-SMA protein in infarction area border.Masson coloration was applied in measuring fibrosis.Cardiac fibroblasts were isolated and cultured.UTR was used to report the carrier and lentivirus.And c-Myb siRNA was used to verify the relationship between c-Myb and microRNA-150.Results In vivo,MiR-150 was down-regulated in myocardium border zone in 14 day and 28 day after infarction (P ＜ 0.001,P ＜ 0.05),and overexpressing miR-150 promoted myocardial fibrosis (P ＜ 0.001),and inhibited the expression of collagen1α 1 and α-SMA (P ＜ 0.01,P ＜ 0.05).In vitro,c-Myb was the direct target gene of miR-150,and inhibited the expression of c-Myb resulting in the down regulation of collagen1α 1 and α-SMA,suggesting that the role of miR-150 was achieved by regulating c-Myb.Conclusions MiR-150 was down-regulated in myocardium border zone,and myocardial fibrosis can be improved by targeting c-Myb.
