Background and purpose:Drug-resistance is the main obstacle in terms of efficacy of chemotherapy for leukemia, RNA interference(RNAi) strategy possesses the characteristics of specilization, high-efficiency and low-toxicity, and can effectively and specifically inhibit the overexpression of given gene. This study was designed to investigate the effect of small interfering RNA (siRNA) on expression of mdr1 gene and drug-resistance in multidrug-resistant human leukemia K562/ADM cell.Methods:Human multidrug-resistant leukemia cell line K562/ADM over-expressing mdr1 gene was used as the target cells, Two siRNAs (si-mdr1-1 and si-mdr1-2) targeted mdr1 gene were chemically synthesized and transfected into K562/ADM cells. Expression of mdr1 mRNA was determined by RT-PCR, P-glycoprotein (P-gp) expression was measured using flow cytometry (FCM), and the sensitivity of K562/ADM cells to adriamycin was assessed with a MTT colorimetric assay.Results:Two siRNAs (si-mdr1-1 and si-mdr1-2) specially designed in this study could markedly down-regulate the expression of mdr1 mRNA and its product P-gp in K562/ADM cells. After cells transfected with si-mdr1-1 or si-mdr1-2 for 24h and 48h, the inhibition of mdr1 mRNA expression in the cells for si-mdr1-1 was 55.5% and 22.5%; and for si-mdr1-2, 16.0% and 57.6%, respectively. Treated with siRNA for 72h, the expression intensity of P-gp in the two transfected cell lines decreased 74% and 85%, respectively. Both si-mdr1-1 and si-mdr1-2 significantly enhanced the sensitivity of K562/ADM cells to adriamycin and reversed their drug-resistance, the reversal efficiency was 2.52-folds and 1.96-folds, respectively.Conclusions:The siRNA could effectively and specifically silence the expression of mdr1 gene and overcome the drug-resistance mediated by P-gp in K562/ADM cells.

An immunopotentiating compound has been isolated from the metabolites of Bacillus mycoides under the bioassay-guided isolation and identification for its immunopotentiating effect and chemical structure. The isolation and purification of the compound were consisted of macroporous adsorptive resins, silicagel chromatographic column and Sephadex G-200 chromatographic column. The immunopotentiating effect was assayed in every step isolation. At last, the only substance having the strongest immunopotentiating effect had been isolated and purified. Through the procedure consisiting of Ultra-Violet spectroscopy (UV), IR (Infrared Radiation), Time of Flight Mass Spectrum (TOF-MS), Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) and Element analysis, the possible structure of compound M had been identified as cyclic (Pro-Gly) dipeptide (C7H10O2N2) (Diketopiperazine). To be determined the immunopotentiating effect, the mice were treated by intraperitoneal injection of cyclic (Pro-Gly) dipeptide in the treatment group and physiologic saline in the control group. At the 14th day after the injection, the SOD activity and the phagocytosis activities reached the peak value and were significantly higher than those in control group. At the 21st day, the bactericidal activity reached peak value and was significantly higher than that in the control group. From the above results, we concluded that the main active component enhancing the immunity of mice was cyclic (Pro-Gly) dipeptide in the metabolism of Bacillus mycoides.

This research was aimed to find the skin irritation and burns treatment effect of wound dressing with mi- crospheres containing levofloxacin. We used reference GB/T16886. 10-2005 to evaluate the dressing skin irritation. We prepared rabbit models divided into three groups. The control group was rapped with Vaseline gauze bandage, while the positive control group was rapped with the wounds of nano-silver paste bandage. The experimental sample group was rapped with wound dressing with microspheres containing levofloxacin. We measured the wound without healing area and the hydroxyproline content at the ends of 3 d, 6 d, 9 d, 14 d, 21 d, 28 d. and meanwhile performed histopathological examination. The experimental results showed that the dressing primary irritation index was 0. The nonhealing wound area of theexperimental sample group and positive control group at the ends of 6 d, 9 d, 14 d, 21 d were less than that of the control group (P<0. 05). The nonhealing wound area of the experimental sample group at the ends of 9 d and 14 d was significantly lower than that of the positive control group (P < 0.05). The hydroxyproline content of the experimental sample group at the ends of 6 d, 9 d and 14 d was significantly higher than that of the positive control group and blank control group (P<0. 05). The pathology observed of the experimental sample group at 21 d were the earliest appendages. The wound dressing with microspheres containing levofloxacin has minimal skin irritation, effectively promote wound healing of burn.

Objective To observe whether appropriate intermittent exercise at the ischemic threshold can safely promote collateral circulation in an ischemic area of the myocardium through the increased expression of vascular endothelial growth factor(VEGF)and its receptor fetal liver kinase-1(Fik-1). Methods A balloon constrictor was surgically implanted in the first obtuse marginal coronary artery(OM1)of miniature pigs.The subjects were divided into 3 groups:a sham-operation group,a pure ischemia group,and an exercise training group.Subjects in the exercise training group performed individualized treadmill programs 30 min daily,5 d per week,for 8 weeks,including 2 two-minute episodes of exercise-induced ischemia.Two pre-exercise episodes of pure ischemia induced by brief OM1 occlusion were also conducted.Only pure ischemia was induced in the pure ischemia group,and the sham-operation group remained sedentary for the experimental period.Relative myocardial blood flow(RMBF)was measured using microspheres.VEGF and Flk-1 expression levels were measured by Western blotting and real time RT-PCR analyses.Cardiac troponin I(ctnI)levels were determined using an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay(ELISA). Light and electron microscopy were employed to examine myocardia damage in the ischemic area.Results RMBFs in the exercise training group were significantly higher than those in the pure ischemia and sham-operation groups. RMBFs in the pure ischemia group were significantly higher than those in the sham-operation group.The expression of VEGF and Flk-1 proteins and mRNAs in the exercise training group were significantly higher than those in the pure ischemia and sham-operation groups,and the levels in the pure ischemia group were also significantly higher than those in the sham-operation group.After training,no myocardial damage and no ctnI increase was observed in the pure ischemia group.Microscopy revealed no obvious structural changes. Conclusion Intermittent exercise at the isehemia threshold intension can safely promote coronary collateral formation through upregulation of VEGF and Flk-1 expression in the ischemic myocardial area of a porcine model.
