Objective To investigate the effect of the down regulation of matriptase expression on invasion of human pancreatic cancers cells SW1990.Methods Small interfering RNA targeting at matriptase (Ma-siRNA) was transfected into human pancreatic cancers SW1990 cells,and nonsense siRNA (NC-siRNA) group was used as control.Real time PCR assay and Western blot were used to detect the expression of matriptase mRNA and protein.Transwell assay was used to examine the invasion ability of cancer cells.The enzymatic activity of matriptase and MMP-9 was determined by gelatin zymography assay.Results The expression level of matriptase mRNA in NC-siRNA group,12.5,25,50 nmol/L Ma-siRNA group were 1.000,0.417 ± 0.006,0.233 ± 0.068,0.221 ± 0.092;and the protein expression of matriptase were 0.736 ± 0.066,0.498 ± 0.036,0.341 ± 0.118,0.239 ± 0.050,respectively.The matriptase mRNA and protein expression in Ma-siRNA groups was significantly lower than those in NC-siRNA group,and the difference between the two groups was statistically significant (P < 0.05).The enzymatic activity of matriptase were 1.501 ±0.165,1.211 ±0.265,0.645 ±0.165,0.620 ±0.003,and the enzymatic activity of MMP-9 were 0.929 ± 0.260,0.484 ± 0.364,0.352 ± 0.113,0.346 ± 0.121,and the enzymatic activity of matriptase and MMP-9 in 25,50 nmol/L Ma-siRNA groups was significantly lower than that in NC-siRNA group,and the difference was statistically significant (P < 0.05 or < 0.01).The number of transmembrane cell was (256 ± 1)/per 200 power field,and it was (109 ± 3)/per 200 power field in 25 nmol/L Ma-siRNA group,and the invasion ability of the cells in 25 nmol/L Ma-siRNA group was decreased by (57.4 ± 5.4) % when compared with that of control group.Conclusions Down-regulation of matriptase inhibits invasion ability of pancreatic cancer SW1990 cells,and this result may be due to the down regulated enzymatic activity of matriptase and MMP-9.

Background and purpose:Recently, it was reported that tanshinoneⅡA (TanⅡA) could inhibit proliferation, induce differentiation and apoptosis of human cancer cells. Previous studies also indicated that TanⅡA could inhibit the migration and invasion of osteosarcoma. However, the effects of TanⅡA on the migration and invasion of gastric cancer and the mechanism remains unclear. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of TanⅡA on gastric cancer cell SGC7901 migration and invasion of in vitro. Methods:After different concentrations (0.5, 1, 2, and 4μg/mL) of TanⅡA treatment for 24, 48, and 72 h respectively, MTT assay were developed to detect the cell proliferation of SGC7901. The wound healing assay and 3D-transwell assay were used to observe the migration and invasion of SGC7901 cells, respectively. Expression of intercellular adhesion molecule 1 (ICAM-1), matrix metalloproteinase-2 (MMP-2), matrix metalloproteinase-9 (MMP-9), and tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinase 2 (TIMP-2) mRNA and protein were measured with real-time PCR and Western blot. Results: 1, 2, and 4 μg/mL Tan ⅡA showed a dose-and time-dependent growth inhibition on SGC7901 cells. 2μg/mL TanⅡA showed a time-dependent migration inhibition of SGC7901 cells. 1, 2, and 4μg/mL TanⅡA could inhibit the invasion of SGC7901 cells. Real-time PCR and Western blot showed a reduction in expression of ICAM-1, MMP-2, and MMP-9, as well as an increase in expression of TIMP-2 (P<0.05).Conclusion:TanⅡA inhibits human gastric cancer SGC7901 cell migration and invasion in vitro. TIMP-2 upregulation and, ICAM-1, MMP-2, MMP-9 downregulation might be one of the mechanisms of anti-tumor of TanⅡA.

Objective To explore the related factors with plasma neuropeptide Y in 180 normal healthy people by stepwise regression analysis. Methods Right ventricular end-diastolic diameter(RVDD),inter-ventricular septum end-diastolic thickness(IVST),left ventricular end-diastolic diameter(LVDD),left ventricular posterior wall end-diastolic thickness(LVPWT),ejection fraction(EF),strole volume(SV),cardiac output(CO),cadiac output index(CI),stroke volume index(SI) and plasma neuropeptide Y were measured respectively by echocardiography and immunoradioassay in all subjects. In addition,we examined the height,weight,blood pressure,heart rate and subcutaneous fat thickness in every subjects. Results The plasma neuropeptide Y wasn't significant difference in different gender and age(P≥0.05). The plasma neuropeptide Y of healthy population was normal distribution and the 95% of confidence interval 70.27 to 190.61,and 99% of confidence interval was 51.23 to 209.65. Conclusion The EF,height,LVST,diastolic blood pressure,CO,SV and subcutaneous fat thickness were the major related-factors of neuropeptide Y in plasma. The EF and height were negatively correlated with plasma neuropeptide Y,and other five factors were postive correlated with it.

Objective To investigate the expression pattern of carbonic anhydrase 1 (CA1) in different clinical stages of color ectal cancers and the correlation between CA1 expression and pathologic characteristics of colorectal cancer.Methods The expression of CA1 in genetic level was detected by real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and the expression of CA1 in protein level was detected by Western blot and immunohistochemical staining.Results The expression pattern of CA1 in the protein level was very similar to the genetic level.It had a very low expression level in carcinoma tissue,especially at stages Ⅲ and Ⅳ (P <0.01),CA1 had significantly lower expression level in the colorectal patients with metastasis (P <0.01).CA1 was gradually decreased from well-differentiation tissue to poorly-differentiation tissue with a significant difference between well-differentiated adenocarcinoma and poorly-differentiated adenocarcinoma (P < 0.01).Kaplan-Meier survival analysis showed that the expression of CA1 was extremely related to colorectal carcinoma (CRC) prognosis.The 5-year survival rate was only 8% in the CA1 negative expression group,and the 5-year survival rate of the patients with CA1 positive expression was 92.86% (P < 0.01).Conclusions CA1 had the similar expression patterns at genetic and protein levels.In the colorectal cancer tissue,the expression of CA1 was downregulated and even missing.CA1 had significantly lower expression level in the advanced colorectal cancers with metastasis and poorly differentiated colorectal cancer tissues.The patients with lower CA1 expression level had the worse prognosis.

Objective To study the association of MYH9 gene single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) with clinical manifestation,pathology and prognosis of IgA nephropathy (IgAN) patients of Han nationality population in Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region.Method One hundred and forty-eight IgAN patients proven by biopsy were enrolled in the study.Fifty-six patients were followed up for 1-97 months.DNA was extracted from the peripheral blood of above patients.PCR restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) assay was used to detect the single nucleotide polymorphisms of MYH9 gene Rs3752462,Rs4821480 sites.Association of different genotypes with clinical features,pathology and prognosis im patients with IgA nephropathy was examined.Result (1) Rs3752462 site was consistent with Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium,while Rs4821480 site did not meet the Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium.(2) IgAN patients with MYH9 gene Rs3752462 site TF genotype had lower systolic blood pressure as compared to those with CC +CT genotype (P<0.05).There were significant differences in systolic blood pressure,diastolic blood pressure and age between patients with Rs4821480 site GG genotype and patients with TT or GT genotype (P<0.05).There were no significant differences in Scr,Ccr,plasma albumin,hemoglobin,microscopic hematuria,proteinuria,pathological HASS classification,pathological lesion among Rs4821480 site GG,TT,GT genotypes.(3) Kaplan-Meier survival analysis revealed the time from renal biopsy to renal function decline was shorted in patients with Rs3752462 site CC genotype and Rs4821480 site TT genotype.Conclusions C allele of MYH9 gene Rs3752462 site is an independent risk factor of high blood pressure damage in IgAN patients.Polymorphism of 3 genotypes of MYH9 gene Rs4821480 site is associated to the prognosis of patients.Carrying Rs3752462 site C allele and Rs4821480 site T allele may affect the prognosis of patients.

Integration and sharing of biological samples are the most effective approach for making use of their stock and improving their utilization efficiency. Although great success has been achieved in development of Biolog-ical Samples Library in China, efforts are not made in promoting sample resource sharing. The problems in develop-ment of Biological Samples Library were thus summarized in this paper by content analysis, such as no unified crite-ria, poor administrative management, and imperfect ethical supervision of sample sharing.
