Objective To identify the differentially-expressed proteins of human gastric adenocarcinoma cell in primary or metastatic lymph node tissues by comparative proteomics technology, and to screen the specific metastatic-associated proteins so as to investigate the metastatic molecular mechanism of lymph node metastasis in gastric cancer. Methods 11differential proteins were acquired previously from primary and metastatic lymphnode tissues in gastric adenocarcinoma patients by 2D-DIGE. Some selected differential protein spots were identified by PMF based on MALDI-TOF-MS and database search. Immunohistochemical staining of HSP70 was used to evaluate the reliability of the proteomic analysis results. Results After analyzed on 11 differential proteins by in-gel trypsin digestion and MALDI-TOF-MS-based PMF analysis, a total of 5 differential proteins were identified by searching Mascot-database, HSP70ˊs 8 isoform 2 variant, chaperonin, chaperonin, leucine aminopeptidase, predicted: hypothetical protein XP_515584. Among the differential proteins identified, the levels of HSP70, chaperonin, leucine aminopeptidase expression had a significant up-regulation in gastric primary cancer compared with metastatic lymph node. HSP70 expression rate increased with the metastasis of lymph node and the progress of gastric cancer, agreed with the proteomics results. Conclusions They are similar in differentially-expressed proteins in primary or metastatic lymph node tissues because of the uniformity in source and differention. There are few protein changes in cancer cells between them, taking part in the metastatic of gastric cancer. HSP70 takes part in the progress of gastric cancer and relates to the metastasis of lymph node and malignant degree.

Objective:To investigate the impact of andrographolide (AND) on intestinal inflammation in rats with diarrhea type irritable bowel syndrome (IBS-D) and its regulatory mechanism on the NLRP3/caspase-1 signaling pathway.Methods:After the IBS-D rat model was established by low concentration acetic acid combined with restraint stress, the rats were grouped into control group, model group, positive drug group, AND low-dose (AND-L) group, AND medium dose (AND-M) group, and AND high-dose (AND-H) group, with 10 rats in each group. The score of fecal traits and fecal water content of rats in each group were detected; the abdominal withdrawal reflex (AWR) of rats in each group was scored; HE staining was applied to observe the changes of colonic histopathology of rats in each group; enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) was applied to detect the levels of tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF- α), interleukin-6 (IL-6), interleukin-1 β (IL-1 β), and interleukin-18 (IL-18) in the colon tissue of rats in each group; Western blot was applied to detect the expression levels of NLRP3, ASC, and caspase-1 proteins in the colon tissue of rats in each group. Results:The scores of fecal traits of rats in the control group was 2.43±0.19, fecal water content was 31.76±2.81, AWR score was 0.43±0.02, TNF-α was 123.49±12.35, IL-6 was 76.45±6.23, IL-1 β was 195.76±15.14 and IL-18 was 167.31±13.92, the protein expression levels of NLRP3 was 0.96±0.06, ASC was 1.01±0.08, and caspase-1 was 0.94±0.06. The scores of fecal traits in model group was 6.12±0.58, fecal water content was 65.24±4.13, AWR score was 2.42±0.18, which were higher than those in control group ( P<0.05), the TNF- α in model group was 315.73±19.47, IL-6 was 231.97±14.65, IL-1 β was 435.83±28.67, IL-18 was 382.56±26.84, the protein expression levels of NLRP3 was 2.41±0.18, ASC was 2.23±0.15, and caspase-1 was 2.15±0.16, which were higher than those in control group ( P<0.05). The scores of fecal traits in the low, medium, and high dose AND groups were 5.38±0.46, 4.57±0.38, 3.31±0.27, fecal water content were 54.68±3.67, 46.87±3.75, 38.11±3.10, AWR scores were 1.79±0.16, 1.35±0.10, 0.69±0.04, which were higher than those in model group ( P<0.05), the TNF- α in the low, medium, and high dose AND groups were 268.65±17.23, 224.91±16.36, 178.16±14.65, IL-6 were 187.74±14.57, 159.64±11.39, 124.18±8.62, IL-1 β were 369.51±21.96, 314.72±23.64, 263.93±16.82, IL-18 were 334.72±25.17, 280.16±21.43, 235.67±19.32, the protein expression levels of NLRP3 were 1.94±0.15, 1.56±0.12, 1.25±0.09, ASC were 1.89±0.14, 1.61±0.13, 1.28±0.10, and caspase-1 were 1.76±0.14, 1.49±0.11, 1.20±0.09, which were higher than those in model group ( P<0.05) .
