Objective:To develop a biomimetic nanoparticle probe of hematoporphyrin monomethyl ether (HMME) coated with breast cancer cell membrane, to observe its ability to target homologous breast cancer cells in vitro, and to investigate its effect of enhanced photoacoustic imaging and sonodynamic therapy (SDT) for breast cancer in vitro.Methods:The cell membrane of breast cancer 4T1 was extracted by chemical cleavage and repeated freezing and thawing. Then the HMME-coated polylactic acid-glycolic acid copolymer biomimetic nanoparticle was prepared by double emulsification and extrusion. The basic characteristics of nanoparticles were detected. The target ability of nanoparticles to homologous breast cancer cells and the enhancement of photoacoustic imaging were observed in vitro. Singlet oxygen sensor green (SOSG) was used to verify the reactive oxygen species (ROS) production of nanoparticles, and its SDT effect on breast cancer cells was evaluated by CCK8 cytotoxicity assay.Results:The size of the prepared CHP-NPs was uniform, the morphology was spherical "core-shell structure" , the particle size was (275.23±8.25)nm, and the surface potential was (-18.43±0.45)mV. It was observed that CHP-NPs could target homologous 4T1 cells under laser confocal microscopy. In vitro photoacoustic imaging experiments show that the photoacoustic signal of nanoparticles increases with the increase of its concentration. According to SOSG probe detection, CHP-NPs could produce ROS under ultrasonic irradiation.When CHP-NPs was incubated with 4T1 cells alone and no ultrasonic irradiation was used, the cell survival rate was not significantly affected. When the concentration was 0.6 mg/ml, the cell survival rate was still 95%. After ultrasonic irradiation, CCK8 experiment showed that the CHP-NPs had a significant SDT effect on breast cancer cells.Conclusions:The biomimetic nanomolecular probe of breast cancer cell membrane is successfully prepared. The probe has good ability to target homologous tumor, and can significantly enhance tumor photoacoustic imaging and SDT effect.

Objective To investigate the effects of Pseudomonas aeruginosa vaccine (PA) on proliferation and invasiveness of the hepatocellular carcinoma cell line MHCC97L with metastatic potential. Methods Proliferation, growth curve, plate efficiency, flow cytometry, transwell invasion assay, cell motility assay, scarification test, vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and matrix metalloproteinase-2 (MMP2) protein activity were evaluated after cells were treated with PA at various concentrations. Results PA can inhibit the proliferation and plate efficiency of MHCC97L cell markedly in a dose-dependent manner. The IC50 of cells treated with PA for 48 h and 72 h was 3.1 ×108/ml and 1.9 × 108/ml, respectively. The doubling time increased and plate efficiency decreased gradually when cells treated with 0.5 × 108/ml, 1 × 108/ml and 2 × 108/ml PA (P＜0.01). PA could induce cell cycle arrest at the G1 phase in a dose-dependent manner by flow cytometric analysis. The average amount of invading cell per field in cell invasion assay and motility assay were 4. 8 ± 1.3 and 8. 8±2.2 when cells treated with 1× 108/ml PA, which was significantly lower than that of control group (8. 6±2. 1 and 15. 6±1.2 ) (P＜0.01) Scarification test showed that the metastatic ability of cells treated with 1 × 108/ml PA significantly lower than that in the control group. Comparison between cells treated with 1 × 108/ml PA and control group, no remarkable difference was found regarding expression of VEGF and MMP2 in supernatant of cell culture. Conclusion PA can inhibit proliferation and plate efficiency of HCC cell line MHCC97L, which is in part mediated by the cell cycle arrest at the G1 phase. PA could inhibit invasiveness of HCC cell line MHCC97L, which is unrelated to the VEGF and MMP2 protein activity.

Objective To investigate the clinical features and mechanism and feasibility of plasma exchange (PE) in treating systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) complicated with acute pancreatitis (AP). Methods A retrospective analysis of SLE associated with AP was done based on the HIS in Tongji Hospital. Totally 24 SLEAP patients were admitted to Tongji hospital from March 2006 to May 2014. Patientsˊ serum amylase, lipase and interleukin (IL)-6 concentration were measured before and after plasma exchange. According to different therapy strategy, patients were divided into two groups. Fifteen patients treated with plasma exchange combination with glucocorticosteroid (GC) were classified as Group A, the other 9 patients who were treated with GC only were classified as group B. At baseline and after treatment, the serum lipid concentration, average daily glucocorticosteroid dosage between group A and B were compared with ANOVA and serum IL-6 concentration between roup A and B were compared with Wilcoxon rank test. Results SLEDAI score in group A patients at baseline (16 ±5) was no statistically different from that in group B (18 ±4) (t=1.31, P=0.320). Average daily GC dosage in group A 31.0 (20.50, 30.08)mg/d was significantly less than that in group B 47.85 (45.58, 59.23) mg/d (Z=35.50, P= 0.002). Serum IL-6 levels in group A and B at baseline was not significantly different 13.14 (11.12,16.57) mg/L vs 14.63 (11.37, 16.37) mg/L (Z=12.20, P=0.300), after 2 weeks treatment, IL-6 level, which was 9.16 (7.93, 10.75) mg/L, decreased significantly in group A while it didnˊt show tendency of decrease in group B, which was 13.62(9.29, 17.63) mg/L (Z=28.50, P=0.039). Serum lipid concentration after 2 weeks therapy in Group A [TC=(5.02 ±0.53) mmol/L, TG=(1.46 ±0.44) mmol/L] decreased significantly compared to baseline [TC=(6.11±0.50) mmol/L, TG=(2.14±0.65) mmol/L] (F=4.46, P=0.010; F=6.09, P=0.002), while similar tendency wasnˊt observed in group B (F=1.57, P>0.05). Conclusion PE combined with GC could lower serum IL-6 levels, reduce the amount of GC and lower serum lipid to improve prognosis. Therefore it might be a safe and effective way and is worthy of continuing to explore its feasibility.

13 C isotopic abundance of intracellular free amino acid with a characteristic of fast- turnover can quickly reflect changes in intracellular metabolic state. But the concentration of intracellular free amino acid is low, the existed 13 C isotope detection method based on GC-MS can not satisfy the requirement with full scan mode. In this study, the selected ion monitoring method was used to detect accuracy higher likelihood of analysis of 13 C isotopic abundance of free intracellular amino acid. First, in the full scan mode we analyzed of the fracture law of different amino acids, found the feature corresponding to each amino acid fragments, and established 16 kinds of free intracellular amino acids characteristic fragment library. Then using this characteristic fragment library, only specific m/z signal was detected in sample analysis, which realized the selected ion monitoring and improved the quality of signal. The results of amino acid standards showed that the signal-to-noise ratio, measurement precision and accuracy were improved by 17, 2. 0 and 3. 8 times compared with the full scan mode. In the analysis of coenzyme Q10 producing strains of samples, this method was successfully used to detect isotopic abundance of 8 kinds of free intracellular amino acids. This method plays an important role in the detection of 13 C isotopic abundance of the intracellular free amino acid in cell metabolism research.
