This study aims to construct the plasmid of human Runx1 and observe its possible effects on Runx1 gene expression in human pulmonary adenocarcinoma cells (A549). The shRNA sequence targeting human Runx1 was designed and synthesized, then inserted into pSuper plasmid by DNA recombination technology. The recombinant plasmid was confirmed by bacterial colonies PCR, enzyme digestion analysis and DNA sequencing. A549 cells were transfected by Runx1 shRNA plasmid. The inhibition efficiency of pSuper-Runx1-shRNA plasmid on Runx1 at mRNA level and protein level were measured with real-time PCR and Western blot. The results of real-time PCR and Western blot indicated that the mRNA and protein levels of Runx1 in A549 cells were inhibited by the pSuper-Runx1- shRNA expression plasmid, and the inhibition rate were 33% and 50%, respectively.

AIM: To compare the difference in serum prolactin levels and the concentrations of anti-infective factors of human colostrums between normal labor and cesarean section. METHODS: The serum prolactin levels were measured at 48 h, 96 h after parturition in 100 cases of normal labor and cesarean using radioimmunoassay. Furthermore, the levels of SIgA, IgG, IgM, C3, C4 were tested in 100 cases at the same time using the technique of immuno-turbidimetry. RESULTS: The serum prolactin levels in normal labor tested at 48 h after parturition were significantly different with that of the cesarean section group. But there was no significant difference in serum prolatin levels 96 h after parturition between the two groups. The levels of SIgA,IgG,IgM,C3 and C4 of the colostrum in the cesarean group were higher significantly than those of the normal group at 48 h after parturition. (P＜0.05 or P＜0.01). At 96 h after parturition, there was no significant difference in SIgA, IgG, IgM and C3 between the two groups except C4. CONCLUSION: At 48 h after paturition, the serum prolactin levels of normal labor group are higher than that of the cesarean section group. The concentrations of anti-infective factors (SIgA, IgG, IgM, C3 and C4) of human colostrums at 48 h after paturition in cesarean section group are higher than those of normal labor group.

To investigate the effect and mechanism of NK-1 Tachykinin receptor (NK-IR) antagonist on hypoxia induced hepatic injury, we established the hypoxic rat model. 30 male SD rats (weighing 240-300g) were randomly divided into 3 groups, control group, and experimental groups including the hypoxia group and the NK-1R antagonist group. The rats of experimental groups underwent hypoxia, among them the NK-1R antagonist group were those with interference of NK-1R antagonist by intraperitoneal injection. Hepatic injury was evaluated by pathological staining, hepatic function detection and hepatocellular apoptosis determination. Results showed hypoxia-induced hepatic injury in rats was established successfully. Edema,ballooning degeneration and spotty necrosis were found in livers in the experimental groups, among which the pathological injury in the hypoxia group was worse than that in the NK-1R antagonist group. Moreover,GGT and the rate of hepatocellular apoptosis in the NK-1R antagonist group were obviously lower than that in the hypoxia group (P<0.05). But no significant difference were found in ALT,AST and ALP between groups (P>0.05). These data indicate that Substance P possibly participate in the process of hypoxia-induced hepatic injury, and NK-1R antagonist could reduce hypoxia-induced hepatic injury.

Hypoxia-inducible transcription factor-1alpha (HIF-1alpha) is a "master" gene in the cell hypoxia response network. HIF-1alpha plays the key role on VEGF-dependent angiogenesis during tumor development. In this study, the siRNA expressive vector targeting HIF-1alpha was constructed. HepG2 cells were tranfected with an HIF-1alpha siRNA vector and exposed to a normoxic or hypoxic environment. mRNA and protein levels of HIF-1alpha and VEGF were detected by RT-PCR and Western blot at different cell culture environment. The mRNA and protein expression of HIF-1alpha was inhibited by RNA interference. The obvious decreases of mRNA and protein of VEGF was induced by HIF-1alpha gene knock-down. Our study indicated that HIF-1alpha regulated the expression of VEGF and hence promoted angiogenesis in liver cancer under hypoxic environment. The expression of VEGF was downregulated via HIF-1alpha gene knock-down. These results suggest that HIF-1alpha may be used as a good target gene for anti-angiogenesis in liver tumors.

For investigating the effect of Jumonji domain-containing protein-3 (JMJD3) on the behavior of lung cancer cell line, A549 proliferation was measured with EDU staining and flow cytometer after JMJD3 expression plasmid and pcDNA3. 1 transfection at 48h. The migration ability of A549 was tested at the same time. The expression of p21 mRNA was measured with RT-PCR. The results showed that JMJD3 transfection increased the EDU positive cells ratio (JMJD3: 40.75% +/- 2.07%, control: 20.97% +/- 1.5%, P < 0.001). G1 phase cell ration also increased after JMJD3 transfection (JMJD3:47. 80% +/- 1.85%, control: 54.60% +/- 0.95%, P = 0.005). The mRNA expression of p21 decreased in JMJD3 group (JMJD3: 35. 89% +/- 3.71%, control: 91.78% +/- 3.74%, P < 0.001). The distances of migration were (0.47 +/- 0.27) cm and (0.96 +/- 0.40) cm after 24h and 48h with JMJD3 tranfection, compared to (0.57 +/- 0.22)cm and (1.08 +/- 0.33)cm in control, respectively (P > 0.05). JMJD3 promoted the proliferation of A549 and decreased the G1 cell numbers, decreased the p21 mRNA, but had no effect on A549 migration.

This study was aimed to construct transgenic mouse model with target for Runxl gene. Runxl cDNA of mice was amplified by PCR from pcDNA3. 1 Flag Runx1 FL vector and inserted into ptetO7-Asc-IRES-EGFP vector to form a recombinant vector, and then the recombinant vector was injected into fertilized egg by microinjection technology to get a transgenic mouse. The results of PCR and Southern blot indicated that the Runx1 transgenic mouse was constructed successfully, and this could provide an important tool for studying the function of Runxl gene in vivo.
