Objective The aim of the study was to investigate the effect of piplartine on the proliferation and apoptosis in human breast cancer MDA‐MB‐231 cells line and the mechanism involved .Methods Human breast cancer MDA‐MB‐231 cells line was cultured in vitro .The inhibitory effect of piplartine on the proliferation of MDA‐MB‐231 cells was measured by CCK‐8 assay after treatment with piplartine at different concentrations .The apoptosis rates were measured by flow cytometry .Western blot was used to explore the effect of piplartine on MDA‐MB‐231 cells Bcl‐2 and Bax protein expression .Results The CCK‐8 assay showed that piplartine had an inhibiting effect on the proliferation of MDA‐MB‐231 cells in a concentration and time dependent manner .Piplar‐tine induced apoptosis of MDA‐MB‐231 cells obviously .The antioxidant N‐acetyl‐L‐cystein inhibited the apoptosis of cells .By Western blot analysis ,we found the expression of Bax was up‐regulated whereas that of Bcl‐2 was down‐regulated in a concentration dependent manner .Conclusion Piplartine possesses a significant function for inhibiting proliferation and inducing apoptosis of MDA‐MB‐231 cells ,and its mechanism would be associated with the down regulation of Bcl‐2 and up regulation of Bax .

Piplartine is an alkaloids/amide component of Piper species,having diverse pharmacological and biological activities.Recent studies have indicated that piplartine has inhibitory effects on several kinds of tumors and is a kind of potential antitumor drugs.It can inhibit the proliferation of tumor cells,cause cell cycle arrest and induce apoptosis.More investigations suggest that targeting the reactive oxygen species(ROS) stressresponse pathway is closely related to its antitumor activity.

Objective To explore the changes of placental growth factor (PLGF) in patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS).Methods One hundred and twelve patients were divided into four groups according to clinical data and coronary angiography:non-coronary artery disease (non-CAD) group (27 cases),stable angina (SA) group (28 cases ),unstable angina (UA) group (29 cases) and acute myocardial infarction (AMI) group (28 cases).Fifty-seven patients with ACS were divided into single lesion group (19 cases),twice lesion group ( 16 cases) and triple lesion group (22 cases) by coronary angiography,and 0-7 scores group (23 cases),8-15 scores group (27 cases) and 16-32 scores group (7 cases) by Jenkins scores.The serum PLGF levels of all the cases were determined on admission.The serum PLGF levels of 40 cases receiving percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) were determined at 30 min before operation,the first and second day after operation.Results The serum PLGF levels of AMI group and UA group were (38.33 ±10.14) ng/L and (37.44 ± 13.32) ng/L respectively,which were significant higher than that of SA group [(20.90 ± 3.88) ng/L] and non-CAD group [(20.34 ±4.53) ng/L](P＜ 0.01),and there was no significant difference between AMI group and UA group,SA group and non-CAD group (P ＞0.05).There was no significant difference in the serum PLGF level among triple lesion group,twice lesion group and single lesion group (P ＞ 0.05 ).There was no significant difference in the serum PLGF level among 0-7 scores group,8-15scores group and 16-32 scores group (P ＞ 0.05).The serum PLGF level of patients receiving PCI on the first day after operation [ (32.03 ± 7.41 ) ng/L] was significantly higher than that before operation [ (23.86 ± 6.91 ) ng/L](P＜ 0.05 ),and on the second day after operation the serum PLGF level [ (29.37 ± 6.99) ng/L] was less than that on the first day after operation,showing a fall tendency(P＞ 0.05).Pearson correlation analysis showed that the serum PLGF levels in patients with ACS were not related with cardiac troponin T and creatine kinase isozyme-MB (r =-0.158,P=0.421;r =0.302,P=0.118).Conclusion The serum PLGF level of ACS patients is an inflammatory marker reflecting coronary atherosclerotic plaque destabilizing or plaque ruptured,and may also play an important role in early diagnosis of the borderline case of ACS.

Objective To investigate the influence of lentivirus mediated short hairpin RNA(shRNA)target to human papilloma virus(HPV)16 E6 on invasive ability of cervical cancer Caski cells.Methods Lentivirus was produced after shRNA target to human papilloma virus(HPV)16 E6 and to nonsense was cloned to lentivirus work vector.Infection ratio was assessed by assay of EGFP positive cells of Caski.Total mRNA of E6 was determined by RT-PCR after Caski cells were infected by lentivirus.The change of E6 protein expression was analyzed by Western blot.The invasive ability of Caski cells was assayed employing Transwell.Results The optimal MOI (Multiplicity of infection)of lentivirus to Caski was 2.5.Total mRNA and protein of E6 were decreased (by 70%and 63%)in interfering group compared with control group.The invasive ability of Caski cells also reduced after infected by lentivirus.Conclusion shRNA mediated by lentivirus can inhibit expression of HPV16 E6 and invasive ability of cervical cancer cells.

Objective To investigate the macrophages (Mφ) phenotype mechanism in acute kidney injury caused by severe acute pancreatitis (SAP).Methods Sixty-four male Wistar rats were randomly divided into control group (SO) and SAP group (n =32 in each group).SAP rat model was made by retrograde cholangiopancreatic injection of 5％ sodium taurocholate.At 2,6,12 and 24 h after modeling,the samples of blood and kidney tissue were collected.The levels of blood urea nitrogen (BUN) and creatinine (Cr) were detected by using automatic biochemical analyzer.The expressions of IL-12,TNF-α,IL-10 and TGF-β mRNA of kidney tissue were detected by fluorescence quantitative polymerase chain reaction (QRT-PCR).The levels of CD68,iNOS and Arg-1 were measured by Western blot.Results In the SAP group at each interval,BUN and Cr concentrations were significantly higher than those of the control group (P ＜ 0.01,P ＜ 0.05) ; Compared with the control group,the expressions of IL-12,TNF-α,IL-10 and TGF-β mRNA in renal tissue of SAP group were significantly higher (P ＜ 0.01,P ＜ 0.05).In the SAP group,the levels of CD68,iNOS and Arg-1 were higher than those in the control group.Conclusions Inflammation and inflammatory imbalances may be pathological factors of acute kidney injury following SAP.

Acute leukemia marks the main type of non-solid cancer in children.Studies have proved that long non-coding RNA plays important roles in the pathogenesis of hematological malignancies and can be applied as a biomarker for diagnosis, prognosis and efficacy monitoring of leukemia patients.This article briefly reviews the roles of long non-coding RNA in the tumorigenesis and progression of childhood acute leukemia.

Objective To investigate the effects of leukotriene in children with respiratory syncytial (RSV)viral bronchiolitis.Methods The blood and sputum levels of Ieukotriene were detected in 33 cases diagnosed RSV bronchiolitis and 12 cases which were diagnosed pneumonia without RSV infection.Thirty-three cases of bronchiolitis were devided into mild-moderate group(n =22)and severe group(n =11)according to the lowell score.Results The blood and sputum levels of leukotriene in mild-moderate group,severe group,and pneumonia group were(76.96 ± 28.19)pg/ml,(103.53 ± 16.85)pg/ml,(18.14.± 7.49)pg/ml;(31.83 ± 19.14)pg/ml,(67.11 ± 15.11)pg/ml,(6.81 ± 2.90)pg/ml in acute period,and(36.04 ±16.38)pg/ml,(52.27 ± 17.03)pg/m l,(18.14 ± 7.49)pg/ml of serum in recovery period.There were significant differences among three groups(F =48.09,P ＜ 0.001 ; F =15.50,P ＜ 0.001 ; F =44.43,P ＜0.001).After treatment,the blood levels of leukotriene were significantly decreased,but were still higher than that of pneumonia group(P ＜ 0.05).Conclusion The blood and sputum levels of leukotriene increase in children with RSV bronchiolitis,which is related with the severity of bronchiolitis.
