Objective: To study the effect of siRNA on multidrug resistance1(MDR1) gene expression in KBv200 cells. Methods: MDR1-siRNA was synthesized and transfected into KBv200 cells.The MDR1 mRNA and P-gp were assayed by RT-PCR and flow cytometry.Cytotoxicity was determined by a tetrazolium-based chemosensitivity assay(MTT).Cellular accumulation of Dox was measured by fluorescence spectrophotometry. Results: MDR1-siRNA decreased MDR1 mRNA and P-gp expression(P

According to the base complementation, the principle antisense technology is the sequence specific binding of complementary antisense nucleic acids or their chemical modification to the nucleic acids in cells, resulting in the suppression or prevention of gene translation. For the treatment of cancer, a lot of antisense drugs have been designed, which target the genes involved in the pathogenesis of cancer. And some of them have been in clinical trials. The author reviewed the progress of the clinical trials of these antisense drugs.

ObjectiveTo investigate the effects of hyperbaric oxygen therapy on T-lymphocytes 1 and cytokines including IL-6, IL-10 and TNF-α asindicators well representing immune function and inflammation in normal rats and rats with systemic inflammatory response syndrome. Methods Forty Sprague-Dawley male Rats were randomly ( random number) divided into five groups.Rats of group A were treated by saline solution (0.9 ％ NaCl,5 mL/kg),and served as control group; rats of group B were treated with saline solution and hyperbaric oxygen therapy three times; rats of group C were treated with zymosan (500 mg/kg) ; rats of group D were treated with zymosan and hyperbaric oxygen therapy once; and rats of group E were treated with zymosan and hyperbaric oxygen therapy three times.At 24 hours after saline or zymosan administration,rats were sacrificed and blood samples were collected from the portal vein.CD3 +,CD4+,CD8+ cells were counted by flow cytometer,and plasma levels of IL-6,IL-10 and TNF-αwere measured by ELISA.The results were analyzed by one - way ANOVA and LSD post-hoc test.Results CD4 T cell of normal rats was decreased by hyperbaric oxygen (P＜0.01 ),CD4/CD8 T cell ratio was also decreased ( P ＜ 0.05 ).Of rats with zymosan administration,CD4 T cells and CD8 T cells were both decreased on a parallel (P＜0.01 ).A single one HBO and HBO for three times both raised the percentage of CD4 T cells which was significantly decreased by zymosan administration ( P ＜ 0.01 and P ＜ 0.05 ).In rats without hyper- inflammation,hyperbaric oxygen therapy showed a pro-inflammatory effect by elevating TNF-α (P＜0.01),IL-6 (P＜0.05) and reducing 1L-10 (P＜0.05).ConclusionsHBO reduces CD4 T cells in normal rats.HBO reduces the production of TNF-α,IL-6 and IL-10 during hyper- inflammation.HBO is pro - inflammatory in normal rats and minor SIRS rats withourt appreciable hyper-inflammation in circulation.

Objective: To screen the extraction process of volatile oil in Supplemented Xanthium Powder.Methods: The main compositions of volatile oil contained by every herb in prescription were followed up by GC MS. Results: The extraction process of volatile oil in Supplemented Xanthium Powder was established, that is, Flos Magnoliae and Cortex Moutan Radicis were powdered, their volatile oils were extracted with Herba Menthae together by the steam distillation; then 13 fold first fraction of distillata and 3 fold redistillation liquid were collected respectively; the volatile oil of Rhizoma Liqustici Chuanxiong was extracted with alcohol. Inasmuch as Fructus Xanthii and Radix Angelicae Dahuricae contained less volatile oil, at the same time, to avoide that Fructus Xanthii produced toxicity by water extraction and coumarinic lactones of Radix Angelicae Dahuricae was destroyed their oils were considered unfit for extraction. Conclusion: GC MS is a useful way for follow up optimization of the extraction process of volatile oil in compound prescription of Chinese medicinal and worthy of popularization.

Objective To explore the effect of Zn 2+ on human leukemia promyelocyte (HL 60)cycle changes induced by multiglucoside tripterygii (MT).Methods ① HL 60 phenotype and membrane protein Fas expression was detected.② HL 60 was cultured with MT observing the cell forms and cell cycle changes,DNA electrophoresis results and the effect of Zn 2+ on the cell cycle change.Results ① The HL 60 were CD4 +CD8 -CD19 -IFN ? +IL 8 -,and the Fas protein expression was poorer.② Following culture of HL 60 with MT,the apoptosis relative cell cycle change appeared in HL 60.This change mainly affected G 2/M and S stage cells,and presented dose time correlation.③ Zn + nearly all blooked the effect of MT induced HL 60 cell cycle change.Conclusion ① HL 60 has Th1 lymphocyte like characteristics,and the Fas protein expression is poorer.② Zn + affects the MT induced HL 60 cell cycle change.It suggests that Zn + might affect the therapeutic and side effects during clinical treatment of many autoimmune diseases with MT.

Objective To investigate whether host derived immune-deficient dendritic cells (DC) were capable of inducing immunological tolerance to islet xenografts and to ascertain its mechanism. Methods Immune-deficient DC were obtained from marrow of BALB/C mice by inductive differentiation,and loaded with MHC antigen of Wistar rat. The loaded DC were injected into diabetic model mice through tail vein,and,7 days later, islet of Wistar or SD rats were implanted beneath the renal capsule. Survival time of grafts was monitored. Mixed lymphocyte culture and TH1/TH2 cytokine expression were observed. Results Compared to the untreated mice, the survival time of Wistar islets was significantly prolonged in the pretreated mice(P

Objective To investigate whether TGF-?_1 gene modified dendritic cells could induce immune tolerance in islet xenotransplantation. Methods Mature and immature DC were cultured from bone marrow of BALB/C mice, and then transfected the immature DC with TGF?_1 gene. Two kinds of DC were loaded with antigen of islet from Wistar rats, and injected into BALB/C mice with diabetes. After one week, the islets of Wistar or SD rats were transplanted under the capsular of left kidney. Survival time of grafts, proliferation and cytotoxicity of host T cell were evaluated. Results Grafts survival time in normal group was (10.2?1.1)d, (7.0?1.3)d in mature DC pretreated group (P0.05. The proliferation and cytotoxicity of T cell were enhanced in mature DC pretreated group (SI=6.92, KRmax=73%, P
