Objective Based on the result that a gene coding for human HSS had been identified and prokaryotically expressed, this study is aiming to investigate the proliferative and protective effect of recombinant HSS on hepatoma cells. Methods hHSS protein was produced in BL\|21 strain of E.Coli containing pET\|42a vector and purified with His\5Tag affinity chromatography. A various dosages of 80\|400??g/L were administrated into cell culture. The cell proliferation was analyzed by MTT, cell\|count and flow cytometry methods. Furthermore, cellular growth signaling as indexed by phosphorylation of mitogen\|activated protein kinase (MAPK) was determined with Western blot. In addition to cell growth, protection of hHSS on the cells against H\-2O\-2 was also observed. Results It was showed that recombinaht HSS of 400??g/L was able to promote DNA synthesis by 21\^5% as compared to non\|treated cells. After 24?h of HSS action, the cell division measured by MTT method as well as cell\|count was significantly enhanced. Meantime, it was indicated that the phosphorylation of MAPK Thr202/Tyr204 was increased in 79\^0% as compared with that of the non\|treated cells. Pretreatment of the cells with hHSS for 12?h prior to H 2O 2 injury preserved the survival of them.Conclusion It is postulated that hHSS is an active protein to stimulate liver proliferation. [

G protein- coupled receptors (GPCRs), also known as seven- transmembrane domain receptors, constitute the largest superfamily of cell surface receptors. By coupling to heterotrimeric G proteins, arrestins and other signaling molecules, GPCRs modulate diverse signal transduction pathways under physiological and pathological conditions. Recent studies have revealed crucial roles of GPCRs in tumorigenesis and development of cancer metastasis. This review summarizes roles of GPCRs, particularly the roles of those coupled to chemokines, prostaglandin, lysophosphatidic acid, endothelin, catecholamine and angiotensin in proliferation, invasion, metastasis and angiogenesis of hepatoma cells and development of hepatocellular carcinoma. The potential of GPCRs- based therapeutics being used for hepatocellular carcinoma is also highlighted.

Metformin, a representative of biguanides, is currently the world's first line of treatment for type 2 diabetes. A considerable number of studies have showed that it can inhibit the occurrence and development of liver cancer, pancreatic cancer, breast cancer and other malignant tumors. In the field of gynecology, over the years, with the early detection rate of gynecological tumors and the improvement of surgical methods, the research on the prognosis and control of gynecological tumor has become a hot research topic in clinical and scientific research, and has been related to the research on the relationship between metformin and gynecological tumor. This shows that metformin in the field of gynecological cancer has a very optimistic prospects and research space. In this review, we will discuss the recent progress in the study of metformin in the field of gynecologic oncology.

Fluorescence enhancement reaction of flavoxate hydrochloride (FX) in strong alkali solution was studied, the mechanism of the reaction was investigated, and a novel fluorimetric method for analysis of FX in drug sample was established. FX has no intrinsic fluorescence, but it can slowly produce fluorescence in strong alkali solution. Heating can promote the fluorescence enhancement reaction. In 3D fluorescence spectra of the decomposition product of FX, two fluorescence peaks, located respectively at excitation wavelengths λex/ emission wavelength λem =223/410 nm, and 302/410 nm, were observed. Using quinine sulfate as a reference, fluorescence quantum yield of the decomposition product was measured to be 0.50. The structural characteriza- tion and spectral analysis of the decomposition product reveal that ester bond hydrolysis reaction of FX is firstly occurred during heating process, forming 3-methylflavone-8-carboxylic acid (MFA), then a cleavage reaction of the γ-pyrone ring of MFA occurred, producing α, β-unsaturated ketone. This product includes adjacent hydroxyl benzoic acid group in its molecule, which can form intramolecular hydrogen bond under alkaline condition, so that increase the conjugate degree and enhance the rigidity of the molecule, and thereby cause fluorescence enhancement. Based on this fluorescence enhancement reaction, a fluorimetric method was proposed for the determination of FX. A linear calibration curve covered the concentration range 0.020 3-0.487 µg · mL. The regression equation was I(F) = 23.9 + 5357.3 c, with correlation coefficient r = 0.999 7 (n = 8), detection limit D = 1.1 ng · mL(-1). The method was applied to the analysis of FX tablets, with a spiked recovery rate of 100.2%. The reliability of the method was verified by a UV-spectrophotometric method.

Objective To discover the vital role of Rab27B in tumor cells and its potential molecular mechanism by means of quantitative proteomics analysis of Rab27B knockdown in MHCC97H.Methods The expression of Rab27B in MHCC97H cells was knocked down by the combination of Tet-on advanced inducible expression system and RNA interference technology.Then, proteins extracted from the cells were identified by LC-MS/MS system after FASP digestion and iTRAQ 4-plex labeling. Finally, the properties of differentially expressed proteins, including the subcellular localizations, biological processes and molecular functions, were analyzed by the bioinformatics method.Results There were 448 differentially expressed proteins (|Ratio|>1.21, P<0.05) identified in MHCC97H cells after Rab27B knock-down.The expression levels of 229 or 219 proteins were positively or negatively correlated with Rab27B, respectively. These differentially expressed proteins were mainly involved in vesicle transport, macromolecule localization, cellular response to stimulus.Furthermore, there were 26 differentially expressed proteins participating in 8 tumor-related signal pathways, eleven of which were in the focal adhesion signal pathway.Conclusion The analysis of quantitative proteomics in Rab27B-knockdown MHCC97H cell line by iTRAQ suggests that Rab27B not only has an impact on the exosomal secretion of tumor cells, but also regulates master proteins in signal pathways involved in cell proliferation and migration.

Objective To explore the changes and clinical value of serum insulin like growth factor-1 (IGF-1) and adiponectin in newborns with hypoxic ischemic encephalopathy (HIE). Methods Fifty-two HIE newborns were recruited in this study, including 15 severe, 20 moderate and 17 mild HIE newborns. Twenty healthy newborns were selected as controls. Serum levels of IGF-1 and adiponectin were detected 3-to-5 days (acute period) and 10-to-14 days (recovery period) after birth. Results Serum levels of IGF-1 and adiponectin in the acute period differed signiifcantly among groups of different severity (P<0.05). Serum levels of IGF-1 and adiponectin were decreased with the increase of HIE severity. The level of adiponectin in moderate and severe HIE was lower than that in mild HIE (P<0.05). In recovery period, the level of IGF-1 in severe HIE was lower than that in control (P<0.05). Serum levels of IGF-1 and adiponectin in the acute period was positivity correlated with those in umbilical cord blood of HIE newborns (r=0.531, r=0.611, P<0.01). Conclusions Decreased levels of IGF-l and adiponectin in HIE newborns are correlated with the pathological process of HIE, and can be regarded as indices for severity of HIE. IGF-l and adiponectin is of signiifcance in the clinical diagnosis and prognosis of HIE.
