Objective To screen radiosensitizing-related genes mediated by elemene in lung adenocarcinoma A549 cells by using gene chip. Methods MTT test was used to calculate the IC50 of elemene. ①The effect of radiosensitivity was detected by colony forming assay. A549 cells were divided into 2 groups: radiation group and radiation + elemene group. Oligonucleotide chip was used to screen the gene expression changes of A549 cells from these 2 groups. The up-regulated gene Egr-1 and the down-regulated gene CyclinDl were selected to undergo RT-PCR so as to confirm the reliability of the result. Results MTT test showed the elemene inhibited the proliferation of the A549 cells dose-dependently. The IC50 value of elemene on the A549 cells was 120 mg/L. ②10 mg/L elemene had radiosensiting effect on A549 cells.The values of SERDO and SERDq obtained from the survival curve were (1.54±0. 20) and (1.43±0. 15 )respectively. Gene chip screened 122 differentially-expressed genes, including 89 up-regulated genes and33 down-regulated genes. ③These altered genes could be related to cell structure, substance metabolism,cell proliferation, cell differentiation, signal transduction, material transport, DNA repair, apoptosis,immune response and so forth. The RT-PCR results of Egr-1 and Cyclin D1 were consistent with the genenchip analysis.Conclusions The mechanism of elemene enhancing the radiosensitivity of lung adenoearcinoma A549 cells is the result of participation and collaboration of multiple genes. Further study of the newly-discovered differentially-expressed gene helps find out new radiosensitizational targets of elemene.

Objective: To study the effect of β-elemene combined with radiotherapy on the expression of KU70 mRNA and apoptosis of lung adenocarcinoma cell line A549. Methods: A549 cells were divided into the control group (c), irridation group (IR), β-elemene group (0.1×IC50 and 0.2×IC50 I.e. 10 μg/mL and 20pg/mL β-elemene) and β-elemene combined with irridation group (0.1×IC50 + IR and 0.2×IC50 + IR). IC50 was obtained through MTT method and cell survival rate was analyzed by colony formation test. Cell cycle and apoptosis were detected with flow cytometry. The expression level of KU70 mRNA was detected by RT-PCR. Results: MTT assay showed that IC50 value of A549 cells was 120 μg/mL. The number of cell clones and survival rate of β-elemene groups were declined significantly. The radiosensitivity of A549 cells can be enhanced by β-elemene. The flow cytometry confirmed that the ratio of G_2/M and apoptosis were significantly in-creased under the effect of β-elemene, statistically different from those in the control group (P <0.05). The expression level of KU70 mRNA in β-elemene with radiotherapy group was declined significantly, statistically different from those in the con-trol group (P<0.05). Cendusion: The rediosensitization effect of β-elemene on A549 cells is associated with induction of cell apoptosis and down-regulation of KU70 mRNA expression.

OBJECTIVE:To provide references for perfecting the drug safety supervision mechanisms in China. METHODS:Based on the theory of“market failure”“contract failure”and“government failure”,representative drug safety supervision mecha-nisms were selected from USA for analysis and evaluation. RESULTS & CONCLUSIONS:USA has made some achievements in the implementation and application of drug safety supervision mechanisms. The representative drug safety supervision mechanisms included prescription drug applicant payment mechanism,drug safety information communication mechanism,punishment and in-centive mechanism, public-private partnership mechanism, passive monitoring and active monitoring combination mechanism. These mechanisms relieved“government failure”of FDA,and solved the problems of“market failure”and“contract failure”to cer-tain extent. In China,drug safety supervision mechanisms should be perfected from refining the legal guarantee,mobilizing exter-nal forces completely,absorbing and applying modern information technology,focusing on both prevention and disposal,paying at-tention to the coordination of different mechanism,striving for open procedure and transparent result.

OBJECTIVE:To provide references and suggestions for building and improving the R&D incentive policies for or-phan drugs in China. METHODS:The R&D incentive policies for orphan drugs in USA and the EU were compared in aspects of its legislative history,incentive measures and effects. And suggestions for improving related policies in China were put forward. RE-SULTS & CONCLUSIONS:The R&D incentive policies for orphan drugs in USA and the EU respectively started from Orphan Drug Act in USA(1983)and Orphan Drug Management Specification in the EU(1999),then formed relatively complete system by continuous improvement. The USA and the EU showed differences in its certification standard,procedure and specific incentives [R&D funding,tax deduction,fee reduction,additional incentives for micro and small and medium enterprises (SMEs),market exclusivity and special approval procedure],etc. In terms of fee reduction,for example,prescription application fee,production cost and drug confirmation fee were exempted in USA,while arrangement assist fee,initial and follow-up fee,checking fee before approval,initial listing type were reduced to a certain percentage in the EU. After developing incentive policies for orphan drugs, there is great increase in numbers of recognized qualifications and listing,SMEs have become new force in orphan drug R&D, R&D investment covers all types of diseases,orphan drug R&D are becoming the main direction of drug innovation and biotechnol-ogy development. China should determine the relevant legislation of R&D incentives for orphan drugs as soon as possible,set certi-fication and improve specific measures of R&D incentives for orphan drugs from multiple aspects,while strengthen the cooperation with other countries in qualification and R&D incentives.
