The expression of sLea/x which correlates with conventional histopathologic parameters serves as a useful indicator for the prognosis of metastatic disease. The bindings between sLea/x and their common ligand E-selectin initiate hematogenous metastasis of cancer. Certain bioactive conformation is crucial for the interaction between sLea/x and their ligands. Thus, a new class of compounds that mimic the structures of sLea/x can potently inhibit not only their functional bindings to selectins, but also the metastasis of cancer. This review is mainly on the sLea/x molecular structure,biosynthesis,distribution, especially the relationship between sLea/x and hematogenous metastasis of cancer and the design of drugs that mimic the structures of sLea/x.

Objective To construct a tyrosine kinase B(TrkB) targeted RNA interference (RNAi) lentiviral vector.Methods Four oligonucleotides targeting rat TrkB gene were synthesized and cloned into lentiviral vector pXZRNAi 1.0 to construct recombinant lentiviral vectors pXZRNAi-shTrkB-1,2,3,4.Neural stem cells prepared from rat hippocampus were infected with these high-titer viruses.Real-time PCR was employed to detect the TrkB mRNA expression and western blot was used to assess the gene silencing efficacy of these recombinants.Results Enzyme digestion and DNA sequencing results demonstrated that these shRNAs were correctly inserted into lentiviral vectors and the four recombinants were constructed successfully with the titer of 8.6 × 105cfu/ml.The infection efficiency of the letivirus on neural stem cells reached 80%.Compared with the uninfection group,the expression levels of TrkB mRNA in neural stem cells decreased significantly after transfected with pXZRNAi-shTrkB-3 and 4((66.7 ± 5.5) % and(76.8 ± 4.9) % respectively,P < 0.05) ; and the protein expression levels were also significantly decreased ((68.5 ± 4.3)% and (78.2 ± 5.1)% respectively,P < 0.05).Conclusion The lentiviral vectors for TrkB have been successfully constructed with high yield of lentivirus,which provides versatile method for assessing gene function in neural stem cells.

AIMTo investigate the effects of sulfated polymannuroguluronate (SPMG), a novel candidate anti-AIDS drug in Phase II clinical trial, on Tat-induced release of proinflammatory cytokines (i.e., TNFalpha, IL-1beta and IL-6) and its related mechanism.
METHODSThe effects of SPMG on Tat induced TNFalpha (4 h), IL-1beta and IL-6 (6 h) secretion in THP-1 cells were measured by ELISA. Western blotting analysis was used to study the effects of SPMG on Tat induced PKCzeta, PKCtheta and PKCsigma phosphorylation.
RESULTSSPMG (50 to 100 microg x mL(-1)) markedly suppressed TNFalpha, IL-1beta and IL-6 secretion in Tat activated THP-1 cells. In THP-1 cells the phosphorylation levels of PKCzeta, PKCtheta and PKCsigma significantly increased following Tat stimulation, and only PKCsigma phosphorylation levels was inhibited by SPMG (50 to 100 microg x mL(-1)).
CONCLUSIONSPMG suppresses the secretion of proinflammatory cytokines in THP-1 cells may be by inhibiting PKCsigma activation.

Hypoxia-inducible factor-1 (HIF-1), as a transcription factor, plays an important role in the adaptation to hypoxic microenvironment within tumors. It can induce a series of genes transcription that participate in angiogenesis, glucose metabolism, cell proliferation, and cell migration/invasion. Thus HIF-1 not only allows cancer cells to survive in hypoxic microenvironment, but also makes the tumor more aggressive. Moreover, HIF-1 also induces tumors to acquire resistance to chemo-/radio-therapy, and is related to poor prognosis. HIF-1 emerges gradually as a potential target to develop new antitumor drugs. This paper reviews recent progress in this field.

OBJECTIVETo observe the effect of CKJ Recipe (consisting of Cordyceps sinensis polysaccharide, amygdaloside, and gypenosides) containing serum on the activation of rat primary hepatic stellate cells (rHSCs) and to explore its pharmacological mechanism.
METHODSrHSCs were isolated form liver and cultured for four days. Then they were divided into the normal control group, the model group, and the CKJ group. rHSCs in the model group and the CKJ group were treated with 2.5 ng/mL transforming growth factor beta1 (TGF-beta1) in serum-free DMEM for 24 h. Serum free DMEM (containing no TGF-beta1) was taken as the control for the normal control group. rHSCs in the CKJ group were treated with 5% CKJ-containing serum for 24 h. rHSCs in the other two groups were treated with 5% blank serum for 24 h.The protein expression level of a smooth muscle actin (alpha-SMA) was determined using high throughput screening (HCS) and Western blot. mRNA expression levels of alpha-SMA, collagen I (Col-I), platelet-derived growth factor receptor beta (PDGF-betaR), TGF-beta1, transforming growth factor beta receptor 1 (TGF-betaR1), and transforming growth factor beta receptor 2 (TGF-beta R2) were detected using quantitative RT-PCR.
RESULTSCompared with the normal control group, the protein expression level of alpha-SMA, mRNA expression levels of alpha-SMA, Col-I, PDGF-betaR, TGF-beta1, TGF-betaR1, and TGF-betaR2 significantly increased in the model group (P<0.05, P<0.01). Compared with the model group, the protein expression level of alpha-SMA, mRNA expression levels of alpha-SMA, Col-I, PDGF-betaR, TGF-beta1, TGF-beta1, and TGF-beta R2 significantly decreased in the CKJ group (P<0.05, P<0.01).
CONCLUSIONCKJ containing serum could inhibit the protein expression level of o-SMA, which was probably related with inhibiting TGF-beta1 and its related receptors.
