Objective To determine whether altered expression of apoptosis pathway genes is related to different apoptosis susceptibility of prostate cancer cells. Methods Androgen sensitive and insensitive prostate cancer cell lines LNCaP and PC 3 were cultured and treated by etoposide,and apoptosis were determined using Hoechst 33258 staining.The cells were harvested and the total RNA was extracted.cDNA probes were prepared and labeled with biotin 16 dUTP,then hybridized to commercially available cDNA arrays including apoptosis pathway specific genes. Results Apoptosis were induced in both PC 3 and LNCaP cells by etoposide,however,PC 3 was more resistant than LNCaP.Compared with LNCaP cells,the 4 fold down regulated genes in PC 3 cells were Bcl10,CIDE A,GADD45a,RIP2,caspase 4,5 and 6,while the 4 fold up regulated gene in PC 3 cells was TRAF4.Caspase 14 and TNFR2 were most strongly expressed genes in the 2 cell lines. Conclusions The altered expressions of apoptosis pathway specific genes are related to the different apoptosis susceptibility,and this may make an important contribution to androgen insensitive state of prostate cancer cells.

Background and purpose: The metastasis-associated in colon cancer-1 (MACC1) is highly expressed in different cancers and has an effect on the proliferation and apoptosis of tumor cells through the regulation of extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK)1/2 pathway. However, the role of MACC1 in ovarian cancer has been rarely studied. The study was aimed to suppress MACC1 gene expression by siRNA and explore the relationship between MACC1 expression and chemosensitivity to cisplatin in ovarian cancer cell line SKOV3/DDP. Methods:Empty plasmid p-super-EGFP-1 (negative control group) and p-super-EGFP-MACC1 shRNA (experimental group) were transfected into ovarian cancer cell SKOV3/DDP respectively. SKOV3/DDP cells without transfection were used as blank group. Then, MACC1 mRNA and protein levels were measured by RT-PCR and Western blot, respectively. Cell proliferation and IC50 of cisplatin was determined by methyl thiazolyl tetrazolium test (MTT). Apoptosis rate was determined by lfow cytometer (FCM). ERK1/2 and p-ERK1/2 protein levels were determined by Western blot. Results:Compared with those in blank and negative control groups, MACC1 mRNA and protein levels deceased in experimental group. The IC50 of cisplatin in experimental group was lower than that in the other groups (26.094 vs 47.501/47.089μmol/L, P<0.05). There was a lower expression of p-ERK1/2 in experimental group (0.3979 vs 00.6712/0.6681, P<0.05). Apoptosis rate was significantly higher in the experimental group before and after treatment of cisplatin (1.32%vs 0.66%/0.48%, P<0.05;36.70%vs 18.53%/16.60%, P=0.000). Conclusion:MACC1 gene may be involved in cisplatin resistance phenomenon in SKOV3/DDP cells through ERK1/2 pathway.

Objective:
To investigate the association between gene polymorphism of vesicular monoamine transporter type 2(VMAT2) and schizophrenia in Han Chinese population.
Methods:
430 patients with schizophrenia and 470 age-sex matched controls were recruited from four mental health centers. All patients were diagnosed by two psychiatrists based on the Structured Clinical Interview for DSM Disorders (SCID). The ligase detection reactions (LDR) method was used to assess the polymorphism of the two SNPs (rs363371 and rs363324) of VMAT2.
Results:
No associations of two SNPs with schizophrenia was found. When we stratified males and females for the analysis, we found that that in the recessive model of rs363371, there was an obvious significant association between rs363371 and schizophrenia in males (OR=0.564, 95% CI=0.357–0.892, p=0.014) but not females. For the association between rs363324 and schizophrenia, no association was found in either males or females. No association was found when stratifying early-onset schizophrenia and late-onset schizophrenia.
Conclusion
Our findings indicate that both rs363371 and rs363324 were not associated with schizophrenia, while it seemed that the AA genotype of rs363371 plays a protective effect in male Chinese in developing schizophrenia.

Thimerosal has been widely used as a preservative in drug and vaccine products for decades.Due to the strong propensity to modify thiols in proteins,conformational changes could occur due to covalent bond formation between ethylmercury(a degradant of thimerosal)and thiols.Such a conformational change could lead to partial or even complete loss of desirable protein function.This study aims to investigate the effects of thimerosal on the capsid stability and antigenicity of recombinant human papillomavirus(HPV)18 virus-like particles(VLPs).Dramatic destabilization of the recombinant viral capsid upon thimerosal treatment was observed.Such a negative effect on the thermal stability of VLPs preserved with thimerosal was shown to be dependent on the thimerosal concentration.Two highly neutralizing antibodies,13H12 and 3C3,were found to be the most sensitive to thimerosal treatment.The kinetics of antigenicity loss,when monitored with 13H12 or 3C3 as probes,yielded two distinctly different sets of kinetic parameters,while the data from both monoclonal antibodies(mAbs)followed a biphasic expo-nential decay model.The potential effect of thimerosal on protein function,particularly for thiol-containing proteinaceous active components,needs to be comprehensively characterized during formulation development when a preservative is necessary.
