Objective: To investigate the effect of Trichostatin A (TSA) on histone acetylation and expression of ING1b mRNA in Colo205 human colon cancer cell line. Methods: Human colon cancer Colo205 cells were cultured and divided into 4 groups. Cells in the control group (group A) was treated without TSA. In the other three groups, cells were treated with 3 different concentrations of TSA: 50μg/L (group B), 100μg/L (group C), and 200μg/L (group D). At 24 hours after treatment, the level of histone H3 acetylation was analyzed by chromatin immunoprecipitation (CHIP) and the expression of ING1b mRNA was detected by RT-PCR with qPCR. The growth of Colo205 human colon cancer cells in group C and D was obviously inhibited compared with that in group A and B. Results: The Ct value of histone H3 acetylation and mRNA expression of ING1b in group A were 23.25± 0.08 and 23.32±0.05, respectively. After treatment with TSA, the 2~(-△△Ct) value of histone H3 acetylation in group B, C, and D were 1.12, 4.21 and 4.38, respectively. The level of histone H3 acetylation in group C and D was increased more compared with that in group A (P<0.05) and there was no difference between group B and group A (P>0.05). The 2~(-△△Ct) value of the expression of ING1b mRNA in group B, C and D were 1.33, 4.52 and 4.62, respectively. The expression of ING1b mRNA in group C and D were more than that in group A (P<0.05). Group B and group A had a similar level of ING1b mRNA expression (P>0.05). Conclusion: The histone acetylation is probably responsible for ING1b expression silencing in Colo205 human colon cell line. TSA at 100μg/L can increase the level of acetylation and activate the gene transcription which is silenced by low level of acetylation and induce the expression of gene, inhibiting the growth of tumor cells.

Objective To compare the risk factors of mild hemorrhage and diiferences of TOAST type in patients with acute cerebral infarction (ACI) and transient ischemia attack (TIA).Methods Forty patients with mild hemorrhage were divided into ACI group(24 cases) and TIA group(16 cases) according to disease classification.Risk factors such as age,blood pressure,blood lipid and so on between 2 groups were compared,TOAST subtype differences of 2 groups were compared.Results The age [(73.3 ± 4.1) years],the ratio of hypertension [95.8％(23/24)],leukoaraiosis [70.8％(17/24)] in ACI group was significantly higher than that in TIA group [(65.5 ± 5.6) years,13/16,9/16],there was significant difference (P ＜ 0.05).The ratio of large-artery atherosclerosis and cardioembolism in ACI group [75.0％ (18/24) and 16.7％ (4/24)] was significantly higher than that in TIA group (8/16 and 1/16),there was significant difference (P ＜ 0.05).But the ratio of small artery occlusion in ACI group [8.3％ (2/24)] was significantly lower than that in TIA group (7/16),there was significant difference (P ＜ 0.05).Conclusion Correlative risk factors of milde hemorrhage in ACI and TIA patients have significant differences.

Warig,ten diterpenoid alkaloids were isolated and identified as 14-benzoyl-8-O-methylaconine (Ⅰ ),aconitine(Ⅱ),deoxyaconitine(Ⅲ),penduline (Ⅳ),yunaconitine (Ⅴ), neolinine (Ⅵ), 15?-hydroxyneoline (Ⅶ), neoline (Ⅷ), talatisamine (Ⅸ)and aconosine (Ⅹ). I has not been previously found in nature.

The anti proliferation effects of four different concentrations of tea polyphenols on PG cell lines were determined with MTT assay. Laser scanning confocal mircroscopy and flow cytometry techniques were used to determine the changes in intracellular calcium concentration, GJIC, Cx43 expression, and cell cycle distribution after treatment with tea polyphenols. The results showed that four different concentrations dose dependently inhibited the proliferation of PG cell lines. It caused a decline in the proportion of cells in S and G2/M phase, blocked the cell cycle progression in G0/G1 phase, and reduced the proliferation index of PG cell lines. Compared with control group, intracellular calcium concentration, GJIC and Cx43 expression were gradually increased ascended with an increase in tea polyphenols concentration. The results suggested that tea polyphenol could inhibit growth of PG cell lines. The mechanism of anti tumor is associated with an up regulation of GJIC of PG cell line.

Objective: To study the effect of total flavonoids of astragalus (TFA) on adjuvant arthritic (AA) rats and its mechanism. Methods: The volume of non-injected hind paw of AA rats, serum malondialdehyde (MDA) content, interleukin-1(IL-1) and nitrite (NO - 2) produced from articular synoviocytes were measured. Results: It was obseved that serum levels of MDA and the levels of IL-1 and NO - 2 from synoviocytes increased in AA rats, and the degree of the secondary inflammatory reaction of AA rats appeared to be directly correlated with serum levels of MDA and IL-1. Treatment of whole (d0～27) or partial (d12-18 or d18-24) course of AA rats with TFA (20 mg/kg/d,ig) could not only markedly inhibit the inflammatory reaction in AA rats, but also reduce their enhanced serum lipid peroxides (LPO), IL-1 and NO production from synoviocytes. Conclusion: TFA has significant therapeutic effects on AA rats, which might be related to both of anti-oxidative effect and the reduced production of IL-1 and NO from synoviocytes.

Objective To investigate the effect of Buyanghuanwu decoction(BYHWD) on angiogenesis and Ang-1/Tie-2 expression after focal cerebral ischemia in mice. Methods Focal cerebral ischemia was induced by 30 min of middle cerebral artery occlusion followed by reperfusion. BYHWD (20 g/kg) was administered orally 24 h after ischemia and once a day. The neurological score and the corner test were used to evaluate sensorimotor function during 28 days after ischemia. The microvessels density and the expression of Ang-1/Tie-2 in the ischemic boundary zone were determined by immunohistochemistry on 28 days after ischemia. Results Compared with the model group, BYHWD significantly ameliorated neurological dysfunction and reduced the number of right turn during 3 to 28 days after ischemia(P＜0.05 ). In addition,the numbers of CD31 ,Ang-1 and Tie-2 immunopositive cells were (437 ±59) ,(389 ±61 ) and (251 ±42) at the boundary zone in model group 28 days after ischemia,respectively. However, BYHWD treatment significantly increased the numbers of CD31(609 ± 68 ), Ang-1 (551 ±66) and Tie-2 (342 ±46) immunopositive cells(P＜0. 01 ). Conclusion BYHWD promotes angiogenesis,which may contribute to recovery of neurological function after focal cerebral ischemia,and Ang-1/Tie-2 pathway appears to mediate BYHWD-induced angiogenesis.
