Ras-associated domain family 1A (RASSF1A) genes are members of the RASSF family, which bind to Ras in a guanosine triphosphate(GTP)-dependent manner and then induce Ras-mediated apoptosis. The protein encoded by the RASSF1A gene is similar to the Ras effector protein, which can interact with DNA repair protein XPA, and can also inhibit the accumulation of cyclin D1, thereby inducing cell cycle arrest. The deletion or abnormal expression of RASSF1A gene is related to the pathogenesis of various malignant tumors, indicating that it has tumor suppressor function. RASSF1A gene methylation has been found in at least 37 tumors, and RASSF1A gene may be the most frequently described methylated gene in human cancers. In this paper, the abnormal methylation of RASSF1A gene in different malignant tumors was introduced, and the research progress of its related effects and mechanisms in malignant tumors of the respiratory system, digestive system, genitourinary system, and nervous system in recent years was reviewed, with a view to malignant tumors early diagnosis, individual molecular targeted therapy and prognostic evaluation provide important guidance.

Objective To investigate the effect of erythropoietin(EDO)on the expression and function of aqua_porin_1( AQD _1)in the kidney of young male SD rats after release of bilateral ureter obstruction( BUO _ R). Methods Porty_eight young SD rats were randomly divided into bilateral ureteral complete obstruction(BUO)group (n﹦6),BUO_R group(n﹦12),BUO_R﹢EDO group( n﹦12)and Sham group( n﹦18). The BUO model was built through bilateral ureteral ligation. BUO group were killed after 24 h,and BUO_R group and BUO_R﹢EDO group were relieved after obstruction of 24 h. EDO(500 U∕kg)was given to BUO_R﹢EDO rats at 1 h after release of BUO,and then repeated 1 d,3 d and 5 d thereafter and the same volume of 9 g∕L saline was simultaneously given to BUO_R rats. The Sham group was prepared in parallel by laparotomy and free dissection of bilateral ureters but not ligated,both side kidneys and blood samples were collected on 3 d and 7 d(24 h,3 d,7 d for Sham group)after release of BUO. The u_rine samples were collected by using metabolic cage before death. The plasma osmotic pressure,creatinine(Cr)and u_rea nitrogen(BUN)in the plasma of young rats were detected. The expression of AQD_1 protein in all groups of kidney tissues was detected by adopting immunohistochemistry and Western blot. Results On day 3 after release of BUO,24 h water intake and urine volume of BUO_R﹢EDO group were higher than those of Sham group,but lower than those of BUO group(P〈0. 05),the urine osmotic pressure of BUO_R﹢EDO group was higher than that of BUO group,but lower than that of Sham group(P〈0. 05),while plasma osmotic pressure,Cr and BUN of BUO_R﹢EDO group were higher than those of Sham group,but lower than those of BUO group(P〈0. 05),and they were all of lower than BUO group( P 〈0. 05). On day 7 after release of BUO,there was no obvious change in Sham group,and the indexes of BUO_R group and BUO_R﹢EDO group gradually recovered,but they still did not reach the normal level(P〈0. 05). The difference between BUO_R group and BUO_R﹢EDO group was statistically significant(P〈0. 05). The immuno_histochemical results showed that the expression of AQD_1 in collecting duct in BUO group was significantly down_regulated compared with that in Sham group,whereas it was slightly weaker in BUO_R group and BUO_R﹢EDO group than that of Sham group(P〈0. 05). Compared with 3 days after release of BUO,the staining intensity of BUO_R﹢EDO group and BUO_R group was enhanced,but still lower than that of the Sham group. These results were further confirmed by adopting Western blot,and BUO group was also the lowest of the four groups,and BUO_R﹢EDO group was higher than that of BUO group,but lower than that of Sham group( P〈0. 05). Conclusion EDO can promote not only the recovery of AQD_1 protein expression but also the recovery of renal function in young BUO_R rats.

Objective:To investigate the expression of IKBKE and NF-κB in pancreatic cancer, and to explore the effect of IKBKE on pancreatic cancer proliferation and migration.Methods:Immunohistochemistry staining was used to study the expression of IKBKE and NF-κB in tissues of 61 pancreatic cancer patients admitted to the Second Hospital of Tianjin Medical University from January 2012 to January 2017 and 13 normal pancreatic tissues. The correlations between those expression to clinicopathological features were analyzed. Lentivirus mediated RNAi was transfected into pancreatic cancer cells to block IKBKE. Western blot was performed to test the silencing effeciency; CCK-8 and plate clone and scratch assays were used to investigate the proliferation and migration of pancreatic cancer.Results:Immunohistochemical staining showed that 60 (98.4%) of IKBKE staining were weakly positive, positive, and strongly positive in pancreatic cancer tissues, which were significantly higher than normal pancreatic tissues(76.9% cases were weakly positive and the rest were negative), and the differences were statistically significant ( P<0.05). All cases of NF-κB exhibited weakly positive expression and above in pancreatic cancer tissues, which was markedly higher than normal tissues (30.8% cases were weak positive and the rest were negative staining), statistically significant ( P<0.05). Survival analysis showed that patients with high level of IKBKE showed a shorter overall survival ( P<0.05). CCK-8, plate cloning and scratch assays showed that the proliferation and migration of were significantly decreased in IKBKE knocking down group ( P<0.05). Conclusions:IKBKE and NF-κB are highly expressed in pancreatic cancer, and IKBKE is correlated with NF-κB in pancreatic cancer. Blocking of IKBKE could distinctly inhibit the proliferation and migration of pancreatic cancer.
