Academic Journal of Second Military Medical University 2010;28(12):1292-1295
Objective: To study the regulatory effects of antifibrotic cytokines, interleukin 10 (IL-10), hepatocyte growth factor (HGF), and interferon-gamma (IFN-γ) on activity of TGF-β1 gene promoter, so as to assess the antifibrotic mechanism of cytokines. Methods: Sequence - 1328-+812 of TGF-β1 gene, which contains the - 509 C>T polymorphism, was selected as putative promoter. The recombinant constructions containing - 1328-+ 812 of TGF-β1 gene and CAT reporter gene (phTGF2. 14T, phTGF2. 14C) were constructed and transfected into HepG2 cells with liposomal transfection method, then the transfected HepG2 cells were treated with IL-10(4 ng/ml), HGF(10 ng/ml) or IFN-γ(20 ng/ml). Reporter gene activity was analyzed by ELISA. Results: Reporter gene activity in cells transfected with phTGF2. 14C was significantly higher than those transfected with phTGF2. 14T (P<0.01). IFN-γ significantly inhibited the reporter gene activity in HepG2 cells transfected with phTGF2. 14C or phTGF2. 14T(P<0.05); HGF significantly increased the reporter gene activity in cells transfected with phTGF2. 14C (P<0.05). IL-10 had no effects on the activities of cells transfected with phTGF2. 14C or phTGF2.14T. Conclusion: C allele at - 509 can increase the promoter activity of TGF-β1 gene in HepG2 cells. The antifibrotic effect of IFN-γ might be related to its inhibitory effect on the putative promoter activity of TGF-β 1 gene; the antifibrotic effects of HGF and IL-10 may not be through regulation of TGF-beta1 gene transcription.

AIM: To investigate the variation and significance of mRNA and protein concentration of myeloid cell leukemin-1 (Mcl-1) in apoptotic HepG2 cells induced by apoptin. METHODS: The apoptin expression vector pCDNA3.0-VP3 was transfected into HepG2 cells via liposome. Mcl-1 mRNA was analyzed by real-time quantitative reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction. The protein of apoptin, Mcl-1 and cytochrome C were detected by Western blotting. RESULTS: The VP3 gene was transfected into HepG2 cells successfully and expressed steadily. Compared to blank control, Mcl-1 mRNA and protein levels of VP3 positive cells were decreased (mRNA: 0.09%±0.00% vs 0.41%±0.14%, P<0.05; protein: 0.43%±0.01% vs 0.90%±0.04%, P<0.01). Released cytochrome C from mitochondrion was increased (0.98%±0.02% vs 0.62%±0.03%, P<0.01). CONCLUSION: In the course of the apoptosis of HepG2 cells induced by apoptin, the amount of Mcl-1 mRNA and protein is decreased, and released cytochrome C from mitochondrion is increased. The apoptosis induced by apoptin may be correlated with the down-regulation of Mcl-1 mRNA and protein.

Objective To discuss the diet balance by the enteral nutritional support for patients after hematopoietic stem cell transplantation. Methods We divided 47 patients after hematopoietic stem cell transplantation into the balanced-diet group and the ordinary-diet group. The balanced-diet group received diet according to "diet exchange share" method and took food by the proportional share of 5 kinds of food. The ordinary-diet group took food according to the habits of patients.The effect of nutritional support was compared between the two groups. Results The body weight,white blood cell,hemoglobulin,platelet,total protein and proprotein in the balanced-diet group at the 90th day were different from those at the 30th day after transplantation(t value were -8.5,-4.7,-4.2,-10.2,-3.9,-14.1 and -80.9),P < 0.01.In the ordinary-diet group only body weight,platelet and proprotein at the 90th were statistically different from those at the 30th day after transplantation (t value were -4.5,-4.6 and -14.9), P < 0.01. Conclusion Balanced diet contributed to the rehabilitation and nutritional support after hematopoietic stem cell transplantation.

Objective To explore the correlation of S100 protein with the prognosis of patients with primary retroperitoneal liposarcoma. Methods Analyzed the clinical data about 108 patients with primary retroperitoneal liposarcoma managed with surgery from January 2009 to June 2014. All patients were followed up. Patients were divided into S100-positive group(58 patients) and S100-negative group (50 patients) according to the immunohistochemical staining results. The overall survival time and all clinical data between two group were compared. Results All patients with primary retroperitoneal liposarcoma received radical surgical resection for the first time. The overall 5-year recurrence rate were 88.9%(96/108), and the median recurrence time was 32.7 months. The 1-year, 2-year, and 5-year recurrence rates of the S100- positive group were 25.9% (15/58), 53.4% (31/58), 96.6% (56/58), respectively, and the median recurrence time were 26.2 mouths. The 1-year, 2-year, and 5-year recurrence rates of the S100-negative group were 10.0%(5/50), 36%(18/50), 80.0%(40/50) and the median recurrence time were 40.0 mouths. Log-rank test showed that S100 protein expression was significantly associated with postoperative recurrence rates (c2=9.931, P=0.002) and survival time (c2=4.571, P = 0.033). The difference between gender, age, removal of the joint organs and tumor size showed no statistical significance on disease special survival (P>0.05). Cox regression analysis showed that S100 protein expression (OR=1.582, 95%CI:1.005-2.491) and histologic subtype (OR=1.531, 95%CI: 1.254-1.870) were independent risk factors of the prognosis of primary retroperitoneal liposarcoma patients. Conclusions S100 protein played a critical role in retroperitoneal liposarcoma carcinogenesis and its expression may be used as a potential survival predictor in patients with primary retroperitoneal liposarcoma.
