AIM:To determine the effect of microRNA-363(miR-363) on HepG2 cells.METHODS:Bioin-formatic analysis was conducted to identify if the Mcl-1 was regulated by miR-363.The expression of Mcl-1 and miR-363 was detected by real-time PCR in normal liver cell line LO2 and hepatocellular carcinoma cell line HepG2, Huh7 and PLC. miR-363 was transfected into the HepG2 cells, and then the level of Mcl-1 was measured.The relative viability was evalua-ted by MTT assay after the HepG2 cells were transfected with miR-363, and the apoptosis was analyzed by flow cytometry with Annexin V/PI staining.RESULTS:Bioinformatic analysis identified that there was a putative target site in the Mcl-1 mRNA for miR-363.Transfection of miR-363 mimics suppressed Mcl-1 expression in the HepG2 cells.Transfection of miR-363 mimics inhibited the cell viability as well as inducing cell apoptosis in HepG2 cells.CONCLUSION: Over-ex-pression of miR-363 significantly inhibits the cell viability and induces apoptosis in HepG2 cells, and the mechanism may be related to the downregulation of Mcl-1 caused by miR-363 transfection.

Objective To determine the value of MRI for diagnosing the posterior meniscus root tear. Methods MR examinations of 30 patients with tear of the posterior meniscus root confirmed by knee arthroscopies were retrospectively reviewed. Of the 30 patients, 17 with posterior medial meniscus root tear (MMRT) and 13 with posterior lateral meniscus root tear (LMRT). The diagnostic sensitivity of MRI for the posterior meniscus root tear was analyzed. Fisher's exact test was used to compare the detection rate of MRI for MMRT with that for LMRT. Results All 17 cases with MMRT and 9 cases out of 13 with LMRT were correctly diagnosed by MRI and the diagnostic sensitivity of MRI for the posterior meniscus root tear was 86. 7% (26/30). The main MR appearance of the posterior meniscus root tear was distortion of the meniscal root, with its low signal replaced by abnormal high signal. The detection rate of MRI for MMRT (17/17)was significantly greater than that for LMRT (9/13) ( P =0. 026). The prevalence of MMRT associated with meniscus extrusion ( 15/17 ) was significantly greater than that of LM RT ( 6/13 ) ( P = 0. 020), but the prevalence of MMRT associated with anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury (5/17) was significantly lower than that of LMRT (11/13) (P = 0. 004). Conclusion MRI is a relatively good method for detection of posterior meniscus root tears and associated injuries.
