An analytical method for simultaneous determination of five quinolones in spicy soup was developed. Spicy soup samples were firstly extracted by EDTA-Mcllvaine buffer at pH 4, then purified and concentrated by a novel Packed fiber solid phase extraction ( PFSPE ) coulumn. The extracted liquid supernatant was loaded onto the column, rinsed with water, and then eluted with 2% ammoniated methanol. The mobile phase was methanol-water-phosphoric acid (25:75:0. 1, V/V, adjusting the pH to 2. 8 with triethylamine) . These analytes were quantified by high performance liquid chromatography-fluorimetric detector( HPLC-FLD) at excitation and emission wavelength of 280 nm and 450 nm respectively. Recoveries of spiked quinolone antibiotics in spicy soup were from 72 . 1% to 110 . 3% with intraday relative standard deviation (RSD) between 1. 6% and 4. 3% and inter-day RSD from 2. 0% to 4. 3%. Limit of detection (LOD) and limit of quantitation(LOQ) were from 1. 2 to 5. 4 μg/L and from 3. 9 to 18 μg/L, respectively. The method could be applied to determine the quinolones in spicy soup.

Objective:To explore the effect of calcium release-activated calcium channel modulator 1 (ORAI1) on the migration and invasion of colon cancer cell line SW480 and its mechanism. Methods:The SW480 cells were infected with ORAI interference lentivirus. The expression of ORAI1 mRNA and protein was confirmed by quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction and Western blot. Transwell chamber, adhesion, angiogenesis, and vasculogenic mimicry experiments were conducted to detect the ability of cell invasion, migration, and angiogenesis and the intercellular adhesion of homogeneous and heterogeneous cells among each group. Confocal microscopy was employed to detect the difference of store-operated Ca2+entry (SOCE) in each group. Western blott was used to detect the expression of ERK1/2, p-ERK1/2, MMP-2, VEGF, and E-cadherin protein. Results:After the infection of SW480 with the ORAI1 interference lentivirus for 72 h, significant fluorescence expression was observed. Compared with the empty vector group and control group, the expression of ORAI1 was lower in the interference group (P<0.01). Invasion and migration ability decreased (P<0.01); the intercellular adhesion ability of homogeneous cells increased (P<0.05); the intercellular adhesion ability of heterogeneous cells decreased (P<0.05);the angiogenesi and vasculogenic mimicry were enhanced (P<0.01);the internal flow peak of SOCE was low (P<0.05); the expression of p-ERK1/2, MMP-2, and VEGF proteins decreased (P<0.01); and the expression of E-cadherin protein increased (P<0.01). Conclusion:ORAI1 may promote the migration and invasion of SW480. This mechanism may be associated with the increase of SOCE.

BACKGROUND:Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) is a crucial factor for regulating bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells in microenvironment, which can promote endothelial differentiation of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells. But there is no report about VEGF effect on regulating the proliferation and osteogenic differentiation of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells. OBJECTIVE:To investigate the regulatory role of VEGF in the proliferation and osteogenic differentiation of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells. METHODS:The bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells were isolated and cultured from mouse long bones. cellCounting Kit-8 was used to test the proliferation of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells cultured with different concentrations of recombinant VEGF proteins. The appropriate concentration of VEGF recombinant protein was selected to test their effects on the osteogenic differentiation of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells. The mRNA and protein levels of Osterix, Runx2, alkaline phosphatase, osteocalcin and heme oxygenase-1 in bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells under induction of VEGF were detected by molecular biology methods. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:(1) VEGF promoted the proliferation of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells dose-dependently, and 100μg/L was the optimum concentration. (2) VEGF promoted the expression of Osterix, Runx2, alkaline phosphatase and osteocalcin in bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells under osteogenic induction. Similar results were obtained by alizarin red staining and quantification of numbers of calcium nodules. (3) VEGF induced the expression of heme oxygenase-1 in bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells at mRNA and protein levels. These findings indicate that VEGF can induce the expression of heme oxygenase-1 i in bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells, and promote the proliferation and osteogenic differentiation of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells.
