Objective:To evaluate the biological functions and underlying mechanisms of transcription factor PAX5 in promoting cell proliferation and anti-apoptosis in multiple myeloma cells.Methods:a PAX5 knockdown cell line was established by stable transfection of vector-based PAX5-siRNA into multiple myeloma IM9 cells.The expressing level of PAX5,p53,XBP-1 and c-Myc was examined by either or both Western blot and RT-PCR for the targets.Cell proliferation and apoptosis were assayed by MTT and flow cytometry,respectively.Results:PAX5 was expressed selectively in IM9 cells,but neither in another common used multiple myeloma KAS6 cells nor in the prostate cancer cells DU145 and PC3.Knockdown PAX5 led to a significant up-regulation of p53 and XBP1,but decreased c-Myc expressions in IM9 cells that were correlated with the increased sensitivity of drug-induced apoptosis and decreased proliferation rates when compared to the control cells.Conclusion:PAX5 is specifically expressed in IM9 cells,which promotes cell proliferation and anti drug-induced apoptosis.In addition to inhibiting the expression of p53 and XBP-1,PAX5 is found to induce expression of oncogene c-Myc in IM9 cells,and this finding indicates an undiscovered signal pathway that may contributes to the malignancy of Multiple Myeloma cells.

Objective To investigate the effect of the serums containing Xuefuzhuyu capsules and Xuesetong capsules on the proliferation of vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMC) induced by 1ysophosphatidie acid (LPA). Methods Rat VSMCs were obtainded by tissue-piece inoculation and divided into seven groups:blank serum group, Xuefuzhuyu (Xuesetong) capsules-containing serum group, LPA+ Xuefuzhuyu (Xuesetong, captopril) containing serum group and LPA+blank serum group. Effects of different groups on the proliferation of VSMCs was evaluated by MTT colorimetry. Analysis of cell cycle and DNA content were performed by flow cytometry. Results The optical density (OD) and the S phase fraction (SPF) of LPA+blank serum group and Xuefuzhuyu capsules-containing serum group were more increased than the blank serum group (P 0.05, P 0.05). Conclusion Xuefuzhuyu capsules and LPA promoted the proliferation of VSMCs in vitro. Xuefuzhuyu and Xuesetong capsules can inhibit the proliferation induced by LPA, and effect of Xuesetong capsules was greater. Part of the mechanism may be associated with the inhibition of DNA synthesis and preventing the transition from G0/G1 to S phase of VSMCs.

Professor YU Ren-cun believes that the responsibility of cough and asthma of lung cancer patients not only lies in the lungs, but also relates with spleen, kidney, heart and liver. Treatment should focus on the whole body and overall conditioning. Syndrome can be divided into 4 types: qi deficiency with phlegm resistance, yin deficiency with toxic heat, qi stagnation with blood stasis, and lung and kidney deficiency. Clinical treatment should pay attention to the combination of disease and syndrome, which can achieve satisfactory efficacy.
