Journal of Peking University(Health Sciences) 2003;0(05):-
Objective: To detect the expression profile of NDRG1 gene in different tissues and cell lines and explore the relationship of NDRG 1 with liver tissue differentiation and hepatocarcinogenesis. Methods: The expression profiles of NDRG 1 in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) tissues, paired noncancerous liver (PNL) tissues, adult normal liver (NL) tissues, baby mouse liver tissues and fetal liver tissues in different developmental stages and cultured cell lines were performed using RT PCR and Northern Blot analysis. Results: Expression of NDRG 1 was significantly up regulated in HCC tissues compared to that of NL tissues and PNL tissues, however, the expressions of NDRG1 in NL and PNL tissues showed no evident difference. In ten cell lines, the highest expression was in the 293T human kidney cell line, the next one in liver cell L02, and the lowest one in the undifferentiated HLE cell line. Expression of NDRG1 in liver tissues enhanced with the development of the baby mouse and human fetus. Conclusion: NDRG 1 is probably related to the liver cell differentiation and is highly expressed in the specific stage of the differentiation. However, it could not be recognized as a marker of differentiation. The high expression of NDRG 1 in HCC indicates that HCC is not just distributed to a simple de differentiation. Much more study is necessary in understanding the comprehensive relationship of the disorder proliferation and differentiation of HCC and the related genes.

BACKGROUND: As a kind of filling material for wedge-shaped defects, GC Fuji Ⅸ glass-ionomer cement has arose more and more attention. However, the comparison of repair results between GC Fuji Ⅸ glass-ionomer cement and reinforced glass-ionomer cement are poorly understood. OBJECTIVE: To compare the clinical effect of GC Fuji Ⅸ glass-ionomer cement and reinforced gtass-ionomer cement for repairing wedge-shaped defects of old people. METHODS: Totally 80 teeth were randomly divided into 2 groups, and filled by GC Fuji Ⅸ glass-ionomer cement (experimental group) and reinforced glass-ionomer cement (control group), respectively. The clinical effect of 2 materials were evaluated on color match, edge density heterozygosity, restoration integrity, occurrence of secondary caries and pulp symptom at immediately, 3 months, 6 months and 1 year after placement. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: The color match of the experimental group was better than that of the control group at 3 months, 6 months and 1 year after placement (P < 0.05); and the edge density heterozygosity of the experimental group was superior to the control group at 6 months and 1 year after placement (P < 0.05); in addition, the restoration integrity of the experimental group was surpass the control group at 1 year after placement (P < 0.05). It demonstrated that GC Fuji IX glass-ionomer cement is an ideal choice for wedge-shaped defects of old people, which exhibits superior effects to reinforced glass-ionomer cement in 1-year follow-up.

Objective: To study the biological effects of the novel gene LAPTM4B high expressed in hepatocellular carcinoma on cell proliferation and tumorigenesis of NIH3T3 cells. Methods: Eukaryotic expression plasmid pcDNA3 TM4B was constructed and transfected into mouse NIH3T3 cell line using Lipofectamin 2000 mediating gene transfer technique. Monoclonal transfected cells with high expression of LAPTM4B gene were identified and selected by RT-PCR, Northern blot and Western blot method. Cell surface morphology was detected by scanning electronic microscopy (SEM). The cell attachment /spreading on various matrices was examined. The cell growth curves were measured by acid phosphatase method. Cell cycle was detected by flow cytometry (FCM). The expression level of Cyclin E protein was examined using Western blot. Results: The cell surface of the LAPTM4B transfected cells showed abundant tube/finger like microvilli, which were distinguished significantly from the MOCK cells. The cell attachment/spreading of transfected cells increased on fibronectin, matrigel and laminin. The growth rate of transfected cells was faster than that of the MOCK cells. FCM analysis indicated that the amount of the transfected cells in S phase was increased significantly. Cyclin E protein expression of transfected cells was much higher than that of the MOCK cell. The serum dependence of transfected cells was decreased. The fibrosarcoma was formed at a tumorigenic rate of 50% in NIH mice inoculated with LAPTM4B transfected cells.Conclusion: LAPTM4B gene promotes the cell proliferation by involving in the regulation of cell cycle control and causes tumorigenesis of NIH3T3 cells, indicating that it plays important roles in tumorigenesis.

Objective To study the fecel-oral and blood transfusion of TT virus. Methods Paired feces and serum samples from 6 patients with type B and/or C hepatitis were tested for TTV DNA and its titers by PCR with seminested primers.Genotypes were determined after their sequences were compared with the original N22 and TA278 clone.Results TTV DNA was detected in sera from all patients,while it was detected in feces from 3 patients,including 2 with high viral titers in serum.The detection of fecal TTV DNA was dependent on the viral titers in serum.TTV isolates in 3 pairs of feces and serum had identical sequence of 222 base pairs.Their genotypes were 1a,1b and 2,respectively.Conclusion The excretion of TTV into feces indicates that TTV would be transmitted not only parenterally but also nonparenterally by a fecal-oral route.

Objective To investigate the efficacy of intracoronary tirofiban during percutaneous coronary intervention(PCI)for patients with acute myocardial infarction(AMI).Methods Seventy-six consecutive AMI patients,treated with primary coronary angioplasty in 12 hours were enrolled.They were randomly divided into two groups:tirofiban group(39 cases)and control group(37 cases).Tirofiban group was treated with intracoronary timfiban during PCI and after the operation for 48 hours.Both of them were given heparin in PCI and aspirin,clopidogrel before PCI.At the end of PCI procedure,angiographic features such as TIMI flow grade and TIMI myocardial perfusion grade(TMPG)were analyzed.The difference of two groups in complication and major adverse cardiac events(MACE) was investigated.Results The myocardial reperfusion of tirofiban group was better than that of control group[TIMI grade 3 flow 94.9%(37/39) vs 78.4%(29/37),P<0.05;TMPG 3 grade 89.7%(35/39)vs 67.6%(25/37),P<0.05].There was no significant difference between two groups in bleeding complication.The occurrence of MACE in tirofiban group was less than that in control group[7.7%(3/39)vs 18.9%(7/37),P<0.05].Conclusion Intracoronary tirofiban dunng primary PCI in patients with AMI can improve coronary flow and myocardial perfusion,and has no more bleeding and less MACE occurrence.

Objective To determine levels of nuclear factor (NF)-κB, interleukin (IL)-10, and visfatin in adipocytes treated by different degrees of intermittent hypoxia (IH), and to investigate the mechanism of IH leading to insulin resistance (IR). Methods The cell model of intermittent hypoxia/re-oxygenation (IH/ROX) in obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) was established. Differentiation mature 3T3-L1 adipocytes, were randomly divided into 10 groups including four different-frequency intermittent hypoxia groups(IH1-4, fixed intermittent hypoxia scheme for 1.5%O2 45 s and then re-oxygen 21%O2 for 2 min 15 s, 4 min 15 s, 5 min 45 s and 8 min 45 s, 60 times circulation), and their normal oxygen control groups (SC1-4, instead each IH group 1.5%O2 to 21%O2, the rest groups were treated as same as IH group), continuous hypoxia group (CH, 10%O2 for 6 h) and normal oxygen control group (CC, 21%O2 for 6 h). ELISA method was used to determine the levels of IL-10 and visfatin in the supematant of adipocytes. Western blot method was used to determine the protein levels of NF-κB p65 and visfatin. Real-time PCR method was used to determine the mRNA levels of IL-10 and visfatin. Results The protein and mRNA expressions of IL-10 were significantly lower in IH group and CH group than those of control groups (P<0.01). The levels of NF-κB p65 protein were significantly increased in IH group and CH group than those of control group. The protein and mRNA expressions of visfatin were significantly higher in IH1, IH2 and CH groups than those of control group (P<0.01). Conclusion As a prominent feature of OSA pathophysiology, IH may take part in insulin resistance of OSA patients by abnormally secreting NF-κB, IL-10 and visfatin in adipocytes.
