Objective To investigate the effect of MDR1 and MDR3 gene silence by shRNA of human breast carcinoma cell line MCF-7/Adr,and explore the role of MDR1 and MDR3 in adriamycin-resistance of breast carcinoma cells. Methods shRNA plasmid vector specifically targeting MDR1 and MDR3 gene was transfected into cells. The control group was transfected with empty vector. The concentration of adriamycin was detected by the flow cytometry (FCM). Cell apoptosis was analysed by FITC-Annexin-V/PI double staining. Cell viability and the IC50 of adriamycin on MCF-7/Adr cells were determined by MTT method. MDR1 and MDR3 mRNA were assessed by RT-PCR. P-gp expression was detectedby immunochemistry. Results After treatment with ABCB1 and ABCB4 shRNA plasmid vector, the apoptosis of MCF-7/Adr cells was (30.21±1.65)%and (22.07±2.17)% respectively. Compared with untransfecedgroup and empty vector transfection group the difference was significant(P＜0.01). MDR1 and MDR3 shRNAcould increase cellular adriamycin accumulation of MCF-7/Adr cells. MCF-7/Adr cells viability and the IC50were significantly decreased after transfection. Compared with untransfeced group and empty vector transfectiongroup, the mRNA level of MDR1 and MDR3 in MCF-7/Adr cells were decreased by (89.5±0.8)%and(85.1±1.2)%, the reduction of MDR1 and MDR3 mRNA was in a time-dependent manner. Immunochemistry proved that the expression of p-gp was significantly inhibited. Compared with untransfeced group and empty vector transfection group the difference was significant (P＜0.05). Conclusion The shRNA can effectively and specifically silence the expression of MDR1 and MDR3 gene, reverse the adriamycin-resistance mediated by P-gp in MCF-7/Adr cells. The reversal effect of adriamycin-resistance by shRNA of MDR1 is more effective than that of MDR3.

Objective To explore the association between the genetic polymorphism of CYP3A4,CYP2D6 and response to methadone maintenance treatment(MMT)among heroin-dependent patients.Methods Patients undergoing MMT in 6 MMT clinics were randomly selected,information about general socia-demographic characteristics,drug abuse history,and MMT data of patients were collected,genotypes of peripheral blood CYP3A4 and CYP2D6 polymorphic loci were detected.Results A total of 820 patients were enrolled in the study,210 cases were with good response and 610 cases with poor response to MMT.Difference in age between different response groups was statistically significant(P<0.05).Distribution of genotype frequency and allele frequency of CYP3A4 rs2242480 and CYP2D6 rs16947 between good response and poor response groups was not significantly different(both P>0.05).Conclusion The association between CYP3A4 rs2242480,CYP2D6 rs16947 and response to MMT has not yet found in heroin-dependent patients.

To investigate the relationship between the expression of early growth response gene 1 (EGR-1) and p38MAPK pathway in the paclitaxel resistance of ovarian carcinoma cells, the effect of p38MAPK inhibitor SB203580 on cell apoptosis was examined by using Hoechst 33258 staining. The intracellular Rh123 (Rhodamine 123) accumulation was detected by the flow cytometry (FCM). The 50% inhibition concentration (IC50) of paclitaxel for A2780/Taxol cells was determined by MTT method. Electrophoretic motility shift assay (EMSA) was employed to examine the EGR-1DNA binding activity. MDR1 and EGR-1 mRNA were assessed by RT-PCR. The expressed of p-gp, phosphorylated p53 and p38 were detected by Western blotting. SB203580 could remarkably promote the apoptosis of A2780/Taxol cells, and the cell apoptosis was in a time-dependent manner. Cellular Rh123 accumulation was increased, and the IC50 of paclitaxel for A2780/Taxol cells was decreased significantly. A2780/Taxol cell line after SB203580 treatment was shown to have a significantly higher level of EGR-1 DNA binding activity. SB203580 down-regulated the activity of p38MAPK pathway, but up-regulated EGR-1 expression. SB203580 significantly increased the level of cellular phosphorylated p53 protein, but decreased the p-gp protein level and MDR1 mRNA level in A2780/Taxol cells. There existed a close relationship between p38MAPK pathway and the paclitaxel resistance of ovarian carcinoma cells. The expression of EGR-1 mediated by p38MAPK pathway plays a critical role in paclitaxel resistance of ovarian carcinoma cells.

BACKGROUND: Immunoloregulation of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) is commonly approved. Previous studies have confirmed the ability of Flk-1~+ bone marrow MSCs (BMSCs) to inhibit T/B lymphocyte proliferation in vitro. OBJECTIVE: To investigate the therapeutic effect of Flk-1~+ BMSCs in collagen-induced arthritis mice.METHODS: A total of 18 healthy male DBA-1(H-2K~q) mice aged 10 weeks were randomly divided into 3 groups. All the mice were injected at the base of the tail with bovine type II collagen (CII), and received a booster injection of CII on day 21 to establish the CIA mice model. DBA-1(H-2K~q)mouse Flk-1~+ BMSCs were isolated in vitro by the density gradient centrifugation and adherence screening. Following initial immunity, mice in the cell transplantation group were infused with Flk-1~+ BMSCs (1-2)×106 cells/mouse via the caudal vein. Mice in the cell transplantation group were injected with the same volume of Flk-1~+ BMSCs during booster. Mice in the model control group were injected with an equal volume of saline 0 or 21 days following initial immunity. Following initial immunity and booster immunization, claw pad thickening and clinical score were observed, changes of joint pathology and dynamic changes in serum factor mass concentration were determined in mice. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: Compared with the model control group, no significant difference in claw pad thickening and mean clinical score was detected in the cell transplantation group following initial immunity (P > 0.05), with the presence of obvious damage to synovial membrane and inflammatory cell infiltration. Mass concentration of each serum cell factor was similar. The claw pad was significantly thickened (P < 0.01), mean clinical score reached 3.35 points, with severe damage to synovial membrane, proliferation of blood capillary in the cell transplantation group following booster immunization. Interleukin-6 levels were greatly increased at day 28 following initial immunity (P < 0.1), but decreased at day 35 following initial immunity (P < 0.1). Results indicated that in the collagen-induced arthritis mouse models, Flk-1~+ BMSC transplantation did not obtain prospective therapeutic efficacy, but aggravation of arthritis was observed in the cell transplantation group following booster immunization. Upregulation of interleukin-6 concentration could aggravate the behavior symptom of rheumatoid arthritis mice.

Objective To explore the value of transthoracic echocardiography (TTE) and transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) in diagnosing adult multiple atrial septal defect (MASD). Methods Thirty adult patients with MASD were examined with TTE, 25 patients were examined also with TEE, 26 patients were examined with cardiac catheterization as well. Transcatheter closure of MASD was performed in 20 patients and succeeded in 18, while open-chest operation was performed in 4 patients. Results Foramen secundum atrial septal defect was diagnosed with both TTE and TEE with an accuracy rate of 60.00% (18/30) and 96.00% (24/25), respectively. The main color Doppler flow imaging (CDFI) feature of adult MASD was multiple colorful left-to-right shunt signals through the atrial septal designated, i.e. colander sign of CDFI. Conclusion TTE has some difficulties and TEE has specific value in diagnosing adult MASD. TTE can be used before open-chest operation. TEE is necessary before transcatheter occlusion to make sure of the amount and location of atrial septal defect.
