Journal of Modern Laboratory Medicine 2017;32(2):33-35,40
Objective To investigate the changes of plasma miR-29a level in patients with hepatocellular carcinoma(HCC) and its clinical significance.Methods Case-control study,30 patients with HCC,30 patients with cirrhosis of liver (LC) and 30 healthy controls (HC) were recruited from Shiyan Taihe Hospital,2016 January to June.The level of microRNA-29a (miR-29a) in plasma was detected by real time quantitative PCR,and the sensitivity and specificity of plasma miR-29a expression in the diagnosis of HCC were analyzed by receiver operating characteristic curve (ROC),and to analyze the correlation between the miR-29a and the alpha-fetoprotein (AFP) in patients with hepatocellular carcinoma,the combination of miR-29a and AFP could improve the diagnostic efficiency of HCC.Results The relative expression of miR-29a was significantly different between HCC group (3.38±8.37),LC group (8.79±3.80) and HC group (11.98±6.64),the expression level of miR-29a in HCC group was significantly lower than that in LC group (P=0.046) and HC group (P=0.001),and that in LC group was significantly lower than that in HC group (P=0.026).The area under the ROC curve of miR-29a was 0.816 (95% CI 0.695 to 0.938) less than AFP 0.918 (95% CI 0.853 to 0.982),and the diagnostic efficiency of miR-29a was not as good as that of AFP.The levels of miR-29a and AFP in plasma of patients with hepatocellular carcinoma were significantly correlated (P=0.002).Conclusion The level of miR 29a in plasma of patients with HCC decreased,which may become the reference index of HCC diagnosis.
2.Research progress of microRNA-29 in tumors
Chinese Journal of Clinical Oncology 2016;43(17):775-779
MicroRNA (miRNA) is an important gene regulatory molecule involved in the occurrence of a variety of diseases and is relat-ed to tumors. MicroRNA has become a new direction of oncology research in recent years. Studies showed that miR-29 plays dual roles, as tumor suppressor and tumor promoter. The expression of miR-29 significantly differs between cancer and normal tissues. miR-29 is predicted to be a biomarker for early diagnosis and prognosis prediction of certain cancer. This paper reviews the role of miR-29 in the pathogenesis of cancer.

Objective To investigate the expression and significance of CCR9/CCL25 pathway in acute rejection of mouse skin transplantation.Method BALB/c mice and C57BL/6 mice were selected as allogeneic and syngeneic skin graft donors and C57BL/6 as recipients,then established a murine skin transplantation model of acute rejection.Allogeneic transplant recipient mice were injected with an AntiCCL25(2 g,as experimental group) mAb or IgG(2 g,as control group) every other day via tail vein,a total of 10 injections.The transplanted graft was scored visually daily,and then we collected skin graft and spleen from recipient mice of each group at 3,5,7 days after transplantation.HE staining was done to analyze necrosis of skin tissue Confocal and immunohistochemistry were also used to measure CCR9 and CCL25 expression in recipient skin grafts.Result HE staining indicated that there was a widespread inflammatory cell infiltration in the skin from allo-transplantation mice,and CCR9 expression measured by immunohistochemistry and confocal was significantly elevated in the surface of the infiltrated CD3 + T cells from skin grafts tissue and spleen.Neutralization of CCL25 with Anti-CCL25 mAb significantly prolonged allogra,ft survival and markedly reduced inflammation.Conclusion CCR9 was highly expressed in the spleen and skin grafts tissue of allogeneic transplanted mice Neutralization of CCL25 by intravenous injection of Anti-CCL25 monoclonal antibody significantly prolonged skin allograft survival.Our study indicates that CCR9/CCL25 pathway is involved in acute rejection process of skin transplantation model in mice were used as syngeneic and skin grit skin graft donor mice.

Objective To detect the expression of p16 and discuss the significance in genesis and development of cervical cancer. Methods FQ-PCR method was used to detect the expression levels of p16 mRNA in cervical cancer(CC),cervical intraepithelial neoplasia(CIN),and normal tissues.And in situ hybridization was used to detect HR-HPV in these tissues.Results The expres-sion levels of p16 were 0.79±0.34,0.70±0.36,0.26±0.21 in CC,CIN and normal cervical tissues,respectively.The difference was significant (P <0.05).The expression level of p16 was significantly associated with FIGO stage (P <0.05),but it showed no significant relationship with age,tumor size,cell differential degree and lymphoid node metastasis (P >0.05).The expression level of p16 in HR-HPV positive cases was significantly higher than that in HR-HPV negative cases (P <0.05).Conclusion p16 shows high expression level in cervical cancer,which is closely related to the infection of HR-HPV infection.It suggests that the high ex-pression of p16 play an important role in genesis and development of cervical cancer.

Objective To observe the effect of interventional therapy of urokinase on sudden hearing loss.Methods65 patients with sudden hearing loss were divided into the treatment group (n=35) and control group (n=30). The patients of the treatment group were treated with urokinase pouring into vertebral artery accordingly into labyrinthine artery in order to improve internal ear microcirculation. Those of the control group were treated with routine drug dropping in vein. All patients of two groups were examined by pure tone test before and after treatment and the therapeutic effect of two groups was compared.ResultsIn the treatment group, the audition of 21 cases recovered, 12 cases got 15~30 dB increasing, 2 cases increased <15 dB. In the control group, the audition of 10 cases recovered, 4 cases got 15~30 dB increasing, 9 cases increased <15 dB and 7 cases had no obvious improvement. There was a significant difference between effects of two groups ( P<0.05).ConclusionThe effect of urokinase on sudden hearing loss is superior to routine drug dropping in vein.

Objective To investigate the effects of 5-Aza-2′-deoxycytidine (5-Aza-Cde)on DNA methylation and expression of hMLH1 and MGMT gene in the human lung cancer cell line A549/DDP.Methods A549/DDP cells were cultured with RPMI 1 640 medium and were treated with 5 μmol/L DNA methyhransferase inhibitor 5-Aza-Cde.Methylation-specific pol-ymerase chain reaetioll (MSP)was used to detect the promoter methylation state of the hMLH1 and MGMT gene.RT-PCR was used to detect the mRNA expression of hMLH1 and MGMT before and after treatment with 5-Aza-Cde,respectively. Results Before treatment with 5-Aza-Cde,hMLH1 and MGMT expressions were absent,and promoter hypermethylation of the hMLH1 and MGMT gene were detected in A549 cells.After treatment with 5-Aza-Cde,the promoter region of the hM-LH1 and MGMT gene exhibited a demethylation state,and their mRNA expressions were increased.Conclusion Promoter hypermethyhtion is amajor mechanism of hMLH1 and MGMT gene silencing in human lung cancer cells,and can be reversed by the demethylating agent 5-Aza-Cde,which can regulate the expressions of the hMLH1 and MGMT gene.
