Tianjin Medical Journal 2014;(11):1062-1065
Objective To discuss the influence and significance of stromal cell-derived factor 1 (SDF-1) and its specific receptor CXC chemokine receptor 4 (CXCR4) in proliferation, migration and invasion ability of SW480 colorectal cancer cells. Methods The colorectal cancer cell line SW480 in logarithmic phase was divided into four groups:control group (with no any processing), SDF-1 group (added 100μg/L SDF-1), SDF-1+1 mg/L AMD3100 mixed group (added 1 mg/L AMD3100 for 2 hours, then added 100μg/L SDF-1) and AMD3100 group (added 1 mg/L AMD3100). Immunohisto?chemistry method was used to detect the protein expression of CXCR4 in SW480 cells. The expression of CXCR4 mRNA in SW480 cells was detected by RT-PCR before and after SDF-1 and AMD3100 treatment. MTT assay and transwell chamber were used to test the changes of proliferation, migration and invasion ability of SW480 cells before and after SDF-1 and AMD3100 treatment. Results The result of immunohistochemistry showed that CXCR4 protein was expressed in SW480 cells (positive rate=80%). CXCR4 mRNA was expressed in SW480 cells. The expression of CXCR4 mRNA was up-regulat?ed by SDF-1(100μg/L), which could be inhibited by AMD3100 (1 mg/L). The proliferation activity was higher in SDF-1 group (0.847±0.039) compared to that in control group (0.624±0.011) and SDF-1+AMD3100 mixed group (0.607 ±0.016). The proliferation activity was lower in AMD3100 group (0.456 ± 0.031) than that in control group and SDF-1+AMD3100 mixed group (F=108.03, P<0.05). The number of transmembrane cells was more in SDF-1 group (98.7±5.8, 33.7±6.2) than that in control group (21.0±2.2, 6.1±2.3), SDF-1+1 mg/L AMD3100 mixed group (18.5±8.4, 8.5±2.8) and AMD3100 group (12.1±3.2, 2.1±1.0) detected by transwell chamber experiment. However, there were no statistical differences between three groups. Conclusion The biological axis SDF-1/CXCR4 can promote the proliferation, migration and invasion in colorectal cancer cell line SW480.

Objective To explore the delayed discount and personality characteristics of impulsive and premeditated male prisoners and their correlation.Methods A total of 120 male prisoners with aggressive behaviors were tested by Self-made General Situation Questionnaire,Impulsive / Premeditated Aggression Scale (IPAS),NEO Five-Factor Inventory (NEO-FFI),Delay Discount Task (DDT).The effective participants were ninety,including 51 in impulsive group and 39 in premeditated group.Analyzed the difference of delayed discount and personality characteristics between the two group.Results (1) In the delayed discount task,the delay discount rat (K) of the impulsive violence group (0.0278 ± 0.0555) was significantly higher than that of the premeditated violence group (0.0042±0.0078).The difference was statistically significant (t=3.004,P =0.004).(2) The scores of agreeableness (35.84 ± 4.08) and conscientiousness (37.04±4.83) in impulsive violence group were lower than that in premeditated violence group(38.46±5.53,42.31±5.96),and the difference was statistically significant (t=-2.587,P=0.011;t =-4.634,P<0.01).(3) Correlation analysis showed that K value was not significantly correlated with all dimensions of the big five personality(P>0.05).Conclusion Male impulsive prisoners have faster tendency to delay discounting compared with male premeditated prisoners.Lower agreeableness and conscientiousness are the personality characteristics of male impulsive prisoners.
