Background and purpose:Low intensity ultrasound (LIUS) can kill cancer cells and promote their apoptosis. However, it is still unknown how it affects the migration and invasion of tumor cells. This study aimed to explore the effect of LIUS on human hepatocellular line MHCC97H in migration and metastasis and the possible mechanismin vitro.Methods:According to the intensity of ultrasonic irradiation, 4 experimental groups were established: control group (0 W/cm2), 0.5 W/cm2, 1.0 W/cm2 and 1.5 W/cm2group. The migration and invasion ability of hepatocellular cells was detected by scratch assay and Transwell migration and invasion assay after the irradiation of LIUS. The changes of cytoskeleton after irradiation were observed by microscope and F-actin green lfuorescence staining. The expressions of MMP-2 and MMP-9 were examined by real-time lfuorescent quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RTFQ-PCR) and Western blot.Results:Low intensity ultrasound (≤1.5 W/cm2) promoted the migration and invasion of hepatocellular line MHCC97H. Scratch assay and Transwell assay showed much more cells under irradiation migrated through membrane than untreated. It was found that morphology of liver cancer cells changed after LIUS irradiation using optical microscope and lfuorescence microscope. The results of RTFQ-PCR and Western blot showed upregulation of MMP-2 expression by LIUS in MHCC97H and high expression of MMP-9 mRNA. Conclusion:Low intensity ultrasound may promote the migration and invasion of MHCC97H through changing cytoskeleton and upregulating protein expression of MMP-2.

Objective To explore whether the low-intensity pulsed ultrasound (LIPU) could induce apoptosis on SMMC-7721 cells and to explore the underlying mechanism.Methods The SMMC-7721 cells were randomly divided into 4 groups:a blank control group,which was subject to sham exposure to ultrasound,and 3 ultrasound intervention groups exposed to ultrasound at intensities of 0.5,1.3 and 2.0 W/cm2,respectively.Then they were incubated for 6 h.The cell apoptosis,necrosis and changes of cell cycles were measured using the flow cytometry.The transmission electron microscope (TEM) was used to observe microstructural changes in the cells.The agarose gel electrophoresis (AGE) was used to examine the DNA fragmentation,and Western-blotting was employed to assess the protein expression of caspase-3.Results The average cell apoptosis rate of the 3 intervention groups were 4.66％,8.99％ and 32.41％,respectively.The percentage of cells in G2 phase increased significantly and those in G1 phase decreased significantly in the 3 intervention groups compared to the blank control group at the same time points.In the intervention groups,significant cell apoptosis was observed under TEM,and DNA ladders was seen in AGE,with DNA fragments appearing obviously when cells were incubated for 6 h and 9 h after ultrasound exposure.In intervention groups subject to 1.3 and 2.0 W/cm2 ultrasound exposure,the protein expression of caspase-3 was significantly higher than that of the control group.Conclusion LIPU can inhibit the proliferation and induce apoptosis of SMMC-7721 cells with a dose-dependent feature.The possible mechanism underlying the LIPU-induced cell apoptosis might be related to the activation of the mitochondria pathway,and especially the caspase-3 protein.

Duck circovirus(DuCV),a potential immunosuppressive virus,was investigated in Southern China from March 2006 to December 2009 by using a polymerase chain reaction(PCR)based method. In this study,a total of 138 sick or dead duck samples from 18 different farms were examined with an average DuCV infection rate of～35%. It was found that ducks between the ages of 40～60 days were more susceptible to DuCV. There was no evidence showing that the DuCV virus was capable of vertical transmission. Farms with positive PCR results exhibited no regularly apparent clinical abnormalities such as feathering disorders,growth retardation or lower-than-average weight. The complete genomes of 9. strains from Fujian Province and 1 from Zhejiang Province were sequenced and analyzed. The 10 DuCV genomes,compared with others genomes downloaded from GenBank,ranged in size from 1988 to 1996 base pairs,with sequence identities ranging from 83.2% to 99.8%. Phylogenetic analysis based on genome sequences demonstrated that DuCVs can be divided into two distinct genetic genotypes,Group I(the Euro-USA lineage)and Group II(the Taiwan lineage),with approximately 10.0% genetic difference between the two types. Molecular epidemiological data suggest there is no obvious difference among DuCV strains isolated from different geographic locations or different species,including Duck,Muscovy duck,Mule duck,Cheery duck,Mulard duck and Pekin duck.

Objective To detect the expression level of human zinc finger 23 (ZNF23) in hepatocellular carcinoma tissue samples and HepG2 cell lines and investigate the relationship between hZNF23 expression and clinicopathological characteristics of HCC and cell apoptosis. Methods The expression levels of hZNF23 and GAPDH mRNA in 37 cases of HCC were measured by real-time RT-PCR. The association between the expression of hZNF23 and the clinicopathological characteristics of HCC was analyzed. Cultured HepG2 cells were divided into 4 groups ( control group, 1.25 μg/ml , 2.5 μg/ml and 5 μg/ml cisplatin)or 6 groups( control group, 1.25 μg/ml, 2.5 μg/ml, 5 μg/ml, 10 μg/ml and 20 μg/ml cisplatin). MTT method was employed to evaluate cell proliferation. Annexin V-FITC assay was used to assess percentage of apoptotic HepG2 cells. The expression levels of hZNF23 and GAPDH mRNA of HepG2 cells after apoptosis induced by cisplatin with a series of concentrations were measured by real-time RT-PCR.Results The median ( quartile1, quartile 3) expression levels of hZNF23 mRNA in 37 HCC tissue samples and adjacent tissue samples were 8.84 (3.59-15.05), 22.20 ( 13.85-42.90 ), respectively. There was significant difference ( U = 259.5, P ＜ 0.01 ). The median ( quartile1, quartile 3 ) expression levels of hZNF23 mRNA in cancer tissue samples with Edmondson stage Ⅰ + Ⅱ [12.80(4.80-19.50)] was much higher than those in stage Ⅲ + Ⅳ [5.01 ( 2.88-11.68 ), U = 99.00, P ＜ 0.05] The median ( quartile1,quartile 3 ) expression levels of hZNF23 mRNA in patients with and without hepatic cirrhosis were 9.92(3.80-15.25) , 3.21 (2.78-3.60), respectively. The median ( quartile1, quartile 3 ) expression levels of hZNF23 mRNA in HBV infection and non-infection patients was 9.09(3.72-15.25 ), 2.48 (1.79-12.10),respectively. There was no significant difference between groups with and without hepatic cirrhosis and between HBV infection and non-infection groups( U = 16. 00 and 24.00, P ＞0.05 ). MTT assay indicated that cisplatin significantly inhibited HepG2 cells proliferation in a dose-dependent manner. Annexin V-FITC/PI assay showed that HepG2 cells apoptosis rates were (0.9 ± 0.2 ) %, ( 4. 2 ± 0.3 ) %, ( 9.8 ± 4. 3 ) %,(23.0 ± 6.0)%, respectively. Cisplatin significantly induced HepG2 cells apoptosis in a dose-dependent manner( F = 27.89, P ＜ 0.01 ). The expression levels of hZNF23 mRNA in cisplatin groups [( 10.39 ±3.08) × 10-5, (24.10 ± 2.09) × 10-5, (6.90 ± 2.24) × 10-4] were significantly lower than that of the controlgroup[(94.80±1.80) ×10-5, F=6.027, P＜0.01]. Conclusions The expression level hZNF23 mRNA is related to Edmondson stage of HCC. The apoptosis effect of cisplatin on HepG2 cells may be associated with the upregulation of hZNF23.
