Objective To investigate the effect and mechanism of silencing ATP1A1 gene on invasion ability of human U251 glioma cells.Methods The human U251 glioma cells were infected with lentivirus expressing shRNA-ATP1A1.The mRNA and protein expression of ATP1A1 in U251 glioma cells was detected by RT-qPCR and Western blot,respectively.The proliferation of U251 glioma cells was determined by MTT assay.The migration and invasion ability were detected by cell scratch test and Transwell chamber.The protein expression of matrix metallo proteinase 2 (MMP-2) and MMP-9 in U251 glioma cells were detected by Western blot.Results The mRNA and protein expression of ATP1A1 in the silence group were significantly inhibited,The ability of proliferation, migration and invasion were also significantly inhibited (P<0.05),The expression of MMP-2 and MMP-9 were also significantly reduced,there was a significant difference(P<0.05).Conclusions RNA interference targeting ATP1A1 gene can significantly inhibit the proliferation, migration and invasion of glioma U251 cells.The mechanism might be related to the down-reguLation of MMP-9 and MMP-2.ATP1A1 can be used as a potential target for the treatment of glioma.

Biological process is an important approach to treat the dye wastewater. The azo dyes decolouration by special azoreductase of different aerobic bacteria and fungi was summarized. Under anaerobic condition, reductive decolourization of azo dyes was carried in the presence of redox mediators which act as electron shuttle. It was also pointed out that azo dye reduction occurred mainly under anaerobic condition. Different electron donor resulted in different decolourization rate. Problems of current biotechnology were analyzed and corresponding measures were discussed.

Objective:To establish a method for determining the immunological activity of ribonucleic acid. Methods: Leucocyte adherence inhibition test ( LAI) was applied, and the important parameters of LAI including the mouse strain, drug concentration, treatment time, content of buffer solution and cell density were researched. The immunological activity of RNAⅠ, Ⅱand Ⅲ was re-spectively determined by the method. Results:Stable and reliable parameters were obtained: the sample concentration was 10 mg· ml-1 , the treatment time was 2 hours, Ca2+ and Mg2+ were necessary for the buffer solution, and the cell density was about 4 × 107 cell·ml-1 . The strain of mouse showed no effect on the results. As a result, the determination method for immunological activity was established. Using the method, the immunological activity of RNA Ⅰ,Ⅱand Ⅲ was determined 3 times, and the results met the re-quirements with RSD below 20%. Conclusion:The method is suitable for determining the immunological activity of RNA.

Objective To investigate the effects of different doses of propofol on cognitive function after chronic cerebral ischemia-induced injury in aged rats. Methods Eighty male SD rats, aged 18 months, weighing 400-500 g, were randomly divided into 4 groups ( n = 20 each): shame operation group (group S), chronic cerebral ischemia group (group I), two propofol groups (groups P1 and P2 ). The chronic cerebral ischemia was induced by permanent occlusion of bilateral common carotid arteries. On 1 day after operation, intraperitoneal normal saline 2.5 ml was injected twice a day for7 consecutive days in groups S and I, and intraperitoneal propofol 10 and 50 mg/kg in 2.5 ml of normal saline were injected twice a day for 7 consecutive days in groups P1 and P2 respectively. On 3rd and 33rd days after the last injection (T1.2), 10 rats in each group underwent Morris water maze test to assess the cognitive function. After the test was completed, the rats were sacrificed and the hippocampi were removed and sliced (450-500 μm thick). Schaffer lateral branch in CA1 region was stimulated to induce long-term potentiation (LTP). Results Compared with group S, the escape latency was significantly prolonged, the number of animals' swimming across the platform, the ratio of the swimming time spent in the forth quadrant to the total swimming time, and the success rate of LTP induction were significantly decreased at T1 and T2 in groups I, P1 and P2 (P ＜ 0.05). Compared with group I, the escape latency was significantly prolonged, the number of animals' swimming across the platform, the ratio of the swimming time spent in the forth quadrant to the total swimming time, and the success rate of LTP induction were significantly decreased at T1 in groups P1 and P2, and at T2 in group P2 ( P ＜ 0.05). Conclusion Propofol aggravates the damage to cognitive function while it attenuates the chronic cerebral ischemia-induced injury in aged rats, especially the high dose.
