Objective To observe the difference of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and myeloperoxidase (MPO) between diabetic and non-diabetic patients with maintenance hemodialysis (MHD),and to explore whether it was associated with duration of hemodialysis.Methods A total of 120 patients with MHD were divided into diabetic group (40 cases) and non-diabetic group (80 cases) according to the primary disease.The blood samples from the patients before dialysis were selected to test the serum VEGF and plasma MPO and other indicators.The blood samples from April 2012 to March 2013 were labeled diabetic group 1(40 cases) and non-diabetic group 1 (80 cases).The blood samples from April 2013 to March 2014 were labeled diabetic group 2 (40 cases) and non-diabetic group 2 (80 cases).Results The serum VEGF and plasma MPO levels were (74.63 ± 47.43) ng/L,(300.63 ± 235.37) μ g/L in diabetic group 1,and (63.69 ± 43.23) ng/L,(275.35 ± 216.32) μ g/L in non-diabetic group 1,and there were significant differences between two groups (P ＜ 0.05).The serum VEGF and plasma MPO levels were (83.32 ± 40.38) ng/L,(414.12 ±265.52) μg/L in diabetic group 2,and (70.89 ±39.74) rig/L,(289.45 ±202.85) μg/L in non-diabetic group 2,and there were significant differences between two groups (P ＜ 0.05).The correlation analysis showed that VEGF was positively correlated with MPO in diabetic group 1 and diabetic group 2 (r =0.632 and 0.763,P ＜ 0.05),and VEGF was positively correlated with MPO in non-diabetic group 1 and non-diabetic group 2 (r =0.610 and 0.713,P ＜ 0.05).Conclusions Compared with those in non-diabetic MHD patients,VEGF and MPO levels are significandy higher in diabetic MHD patients.In non-diabetic MHD patients and diabetic MHD patients,VEGF and MPO levels will rise gradually with duration of hemodialysis.The expressions of VEGF and MPO are associated with each other.

Four small GTPase genes which may be relative to sclerotial development were firstly cloned from medicinal fungus Polyporus umbellatus using rapid amplification of cDNA end PCR (RACE) method. The results showed that full-length cDNA of PuRhoA was 698 bp contained 585 bp ORF, which was predicted to encode a 194 amino acid protein with a molecular weight of 21.75 kD with an isoelectric point (pI) of 6.44; the full length cDNA of PuRhoA2 was 837 bp in length and encoded a 194 amino acid protein with a molecular weight of 21.75 kD and an isoelectric point (pI) of 6.33; the full length cDNA of Puypt1 was 896 bp in length and encoded a 204-aa protein with a molecular weight of 22.556 kD and an isoelectric point (pI) of 5.75; the full length cDNA of PuRas was 803 bp in length and encoded a 212-aa protein with a molecular weight of 23.821 kD and an isoelectric point (pI) of 5.2. There are fani acyl transferase enzyme catalytic site and myrcene-transferase enzyme catalytic site in PuRhoA1 while the PuRhoA2 only possess myrcene-transferase enzyme catalytic site. Puypt1 contains the Rab1-Ypt1 conserved domain of small GTPase family and PuRas contains the fani acyl transferase enzyme catalytic site. According to the phylogenetic analysis all these four small GTPase clustered with basidiomycete group. Quantitative real-time PCR analysis revealed that Puypt1, PuRas and PuRhoA1 transcripts were significantly higher in the beginning of sclerotial formation than that in the mycelia, whereas the transcripts levels of PuRhoA2 gene were particularly lower in sclerotia than that in mycelia, suggesting that these four genes might be involved in P umbellatus selerotial development.

ObjectiveTo determine the levels of 8-iso-prostaglandin F2α (PGF2α) in sera and lesions as well as antioxidant capacity in sera of psoriatic patients,and to assess their correlations with disease severity.MethodsSerum and skin tissue samples were collected from 15 healthy controlsand 50 patients with psoriasis vulgaris.Spectrophotometry was performed to determine the levels of total antioxidant capacity (T-AOC) and the activities of antioxidant enzymes such as superoxide dismutase (SOD),catalase (CAT) and glutathione peroxidase (GSH-Px) in serum samples.Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) and immunohistochemical SP method were carried out to detect the expression level of 8-iso-PGF2α in the serum and tissue specimens respectively.ResultsThe psoriatic patients showed a significant decrease in the serum level of TAOC((12.78 ± 7.75) U/ml vs. (23.17 ± 8.81) U/ml,P＜ 0.01) as well as the activities of SOD((28.91 ±9.35) U/ml vs.(51.36 ± 7.92) U/ml,P＜ 0.01) and GSH-Px ((180.64 ± 47.70) U vs.(244.20 ± 66.68) U,P ＜ 0.01 ) compared with the healthy controls.The serum T-AOC level and SOD activity were lower in patients with severe psoriasis than those with mild or moderate psoriasis ((9.06 ± 5.30) U/ml vs. (15.27 ± 8.18) U/ml,(21.63 ± 5.28) U/ml vs. (33.76 ± 8.28) U/ml,both P＜ 0.01 ),while there was no significant difference in the activity of GSH-Px between patients with severe and mild or moderate psoriasis.The serum CAT activity was significantly higher in patients with mild or moderate psoriasis than in the healthy controls and patients with severe psoriasis ( (36.92 ± 11.31 ) U/ml vs.( 28.55 ± 8.51 ) U/ml and (24.15 ± 9.36 ) U/ml,P ＜ 0.05 and 0.01 ).Increased serum and lesional 8-iso-PGF2α levels were observed in psoriatic patients compared with the healthy controls ( (88.77 ± 25.27) ng/L vs.(38.34 ± 8.94) ng/L,0.0186 ± 0.0082 vs.0.0027 ± 0.0014,both P ＜ 0.01),as well as in patients with severe psoriasis compared with those with mild or moderate psoriasis(( 114.24 ±13.93) ng/L vs.(71.78 ± 14.35) ng/L,0.0279 ± 0.0027 vs.0.0125 ± 0.0030,both P＜ 0.01 ).The psoriasis area and severity index(PASI) score was negatively correlated with T-AOC level,SOD and CAT activities(r =-0.384,-0.573 and -0.444,all P ＜ 0.01 ),positively correlated with serum and lesional 8-iso-PGF2α levels (r =0.710,0.783,both P ＜ 0.01 ),and uncorrelated with GSH-Px activity.None of the parameters was correlated with the course of disease.ConclusionThe serum and lesional levels of 8-iso-PGF2α may be a more sensitive marker for oxidative damage and disease severity.

Objective:To investigate the radiosensitizing effect of three flavonoids on ovarian cancer SKOV3 cells under hypoxia. Methods:The SKOV3 cells were divided into normoxic group and hypoxic group. The hypoxic SKOV3 cellular model in vitro was es-tablished and tested by measuring the expression profile of HIF-1αprotein in SKOV3 cells. Colony-forming assay was used to detect the radiosensitivity of normoxic and hypoxic SKOV3 cells. The cytotoxicity and radiosensitizing effects of flavonoids were evaluated on the basis of cell death and MTT assay. Results:The Western blot results showed that the gray intensity ratio of HIF-1α/β-Actin in hypoxia group was significantly higher than that in normoxia group (1. 068>0. 117). Radiosensitivity of hypoxic SKOV3 cells in hypoxia group was significantly lower than that in normoxia group. The survival rate of SKOV3 cells was decreased with the increase of concentration. When the concentration was increased, D0 and Dqin chrysin group and quercetin group were significantly decreased (P<0. 01), and SER was increased (P<0. 05). SER showed no significant difference in breviscapine group (P>0. 05). The overall radiobiological parameters of hypoxia group were higher than those of normoxia group. Conclusion: Hypoxia can induce the expression of HIF-1α in SKOV3 cells, which results in the decrease of radiosensitivity. Chrysin and quercetin can enhance the radiosensitivity of SKOV3 cells, and the enhancement is significant under hypoxia, while breviscapine is without such effect. The radiosensitizing effect may be achieved by the level decrease of HIF-1α in SKOV3 cells and inhibition of DNA damage repair.

Background and purpose:Δ133p53 can promote tumor cell growth, but the exact mechanism is not clear. This study was aimed to observe the expression and signiifcant of the p53 isoformsΔ133p53 and p53 gene downstream molecules MDM2 and cyclin G1 genes by 5-FU-MKN45 gastric cancer cell line model. Methods:Af-ter using different concentrations of 5-FU (50μg/mL, 100μg/mL) to human gastric cancer cell line MKN45, inhibition rate should be detected by MTT assay, the changes ofΔ133p53 mRNA, MDM2 mRNA and cyclin G1 mRNA express-ing were detected by reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR). Differences between these groups were analyzed by ANOVA, comparisons within groups were analyzed by t-test, bivariate correlation was analyzed by Pearson linear correlation. Results:MTT results showed that with the increased concentration of 5-FU and the extension of time, the cell inhibition rates increased gradually. The inhibition rates of 50μg/mL 5-FU were 41.10%, 54.79%and 68.48%, for culturing 24, 48 and 72 hours. There were statistically signiifcant differences between the groups(F=45.52, P=0.00). The inhibition rates of 100μg/mL 5-FU were 69.53%, 78.21%and 86.92%, for culturing 24, 48 and 72 hours. There were statistically signiifcant differences between the groups(F=85.58,P=0.00). The inhibition rates of 50 and 100μg/mL were 41.10%and 69.53%, for culturing 24 hours. There were statistically signiifcant differences between the groups(F=51.29, P=0.00). The inhibition rates of 50 and 100μg/mL were 54.79%and 78.21%, for culturing 48 hours. There were statistically signiifcant differences between the groups(F=51.29, P=0.00). The inhibition rates of 50 and 100μg/mL were 68.48%and 86.82%, for culturing 72 hours. There were statistically signiifcant differences between the groups(104.91, P=0.00). RT-PCR results showed that with the increase of the concentration of 5-FU, theΔ133p53 mRNA, MDM2 mRNA and cyclin G1 mRNA expression gradually declined in gastric cancer cell line MKN45 cells, and there were statistically signiifcant differences between the groups(F=738.532, 1 396.607, 2 785.56,P=0.00). Cor-relation analysis showed that the expressions ofΔ133p53 mRNA and MDM2 mRNA in gastric cancer were positively correlated (r=0.871, P=0.01), while the expression of cyclin G1 mRNA and p53 mRNA had no obvious relevance (P=0.13). Conclusion:In the 5-FU-MKN45 gastric cancer cell line model, anti-tumor pathway ofΔ133p53 isomers is related with MDM2 but was not related with cyclin G1.
