OBJECTIVE To investigate the effect and underlying mechanism of Gypsophila elegans isoorientin on the proliferation and apoptosis of human HepG2 cells. METHODS HepG2 cells were treated with isoorientin 5,10,20,40,80 and 160μmol?L-1 for 24,48 and 72 h,respectively. Cell survival was analyzed by MTT assay. HepG2 cells were treated with isoorientin 5,10 and 20μmol?L-1 for 48 h before the lactate dehydrogenase(LDH)level was detected. After treatment with isoorientin for 24 h, the variation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) was monitored by a fluorescence probe H2DCF-DA. HepG2 apoptosis and mitochondria membrane potential(MMP)were evaluated by flow cytometry. The activi?ties of caspase 3,8 and 9 were determined by colorimetry. The mRNA expression of Bcl-2 and Bax was determined by RT-PCR,and the protein expression of Bcl-2, Bax and cytochrome c was detected by Western blotting. RESULTS Isoorientin(5-160μmol?L-1)inhibited HepG2 cell survial in a concen?tration-dependent manner,the 50%inhibitory concentration(IC50)was 62.7±9.1,47.2±11.4 and(18.2± 7.5)μmol?L-1 after treatment with isoorientin for 24,48 and 72 h,respectively. Compared with the cell control group,treatment with isoorientin 5,10 and 20μmol?L-1 significantly increased the LDH level and cell apoptosis rate(P<0.05). Moreover,isoorientin 10 and 20μmol?L-1 notably increased the production of ROS,decreased the MMP(P<0.05),and increased the activities of caspase 3 and 9. RT-PCR analysis and Western blotting showed that isoorientin significantly decreased the mRNA and protein expressions of Bcl-2,decreased the mRNA and protein expressions of Bax(P<0.05),and inhibited the protein expression of cytochrome c(P<0.05). CONCLUSION Isoorientin inhibits HepG2 cell prolif?eration,but promotes cell apoptosis,which is closely related to the regulation of the mitochondrial apoptosis pathway.

Objective To comprehend the influences of vitamin C ,KCL and dicynone on blood cross matching of saline and mi-crocolumn gel and to compare them with polybrene crossing matching .Methods Under the conditions with and without the specific antibody ,KCI injection ,dicynone injection ,vitamin C injection and normal saline were added for conducting the immunological reac-tion with corresponding RBC .The influences of 3 kinds of drug on different medium cross matching methods of different mediums . Results The low concentration of vitamin C and KCL does not affect polybrene cross matching ,dicynone makes the experiment to generate pseudoagglutination ;the high concentration of these 3 kinds of drug can cause the test to fail .The sensitivity of the saline medium method is slightly lower ,the influence of vitamin C and KCL on the test is inapparent ,while in the KCL method ,with the dilution of antibody ,the agglutination intensity is weakened and even disappeared .Conclusion 3 kinds of drug all have influences on the mierocolumn gel cross matching method ,especially KCL .
