CYP2D6 is an important drug-metabolizing enzyme. The polymorphism of CYP2D6 leads to metabolism difference and the different reactions of drugs in the individuals and different races are normal phenomenon in clinical medication. CYP2D6*10 is an important subtype in Asian people and 51.3% Chinese are classified with this subtype. To obtain recombinant active CYP2D6*1/CYP2D6*10 in baculovirus system by optimizing coexpression with CYPOR, and detect their activity to catalyze dextromethorphan, three recombinants pFastBac-CYP2D6*1, pFastBac-CYP2D6*10 and pFastBac-CYPOR were constructed and transformed into DH10Bac cell to obtain the recombinant Bacmid-CYPOR, Bacmid-CYP2D6*1 and Bacmid-CYP2D6*10. And then the recombinant CYP2D6*1 and CYP2D6*10 virus were obtained by transfecting Sf9. Then homogenate protein activity was determined with dextromethorphan as substrate. The multiple of infection (MOI) and its ratio of recombinant CYP2D6 virus to CYPOR virus were adjusted by detecting the activity of the homogenate protein. The Km and Vmax are 26.67 +/- 2.71 micromol x L(-1) (n=3) and 666.7 +/- 56.78 pmol x nmol(-1) (CYP2D6) x min(-1) (n=3) for CYP2D6*1 to catalyze dextromethaphan. The Km and Vmax are 111.36 +/- 10.89 micromol x L(-1) (n=3) and 222.2 +/- 20.12 pmol x nmol(-1) (CYP2D6) x min(-1) (n=3) for CYP2D6*10 to catalyze dextromethorphan. There is significant difference between CYP2D6*1 and CYP2D6*10 for Vmax and Km (P < 0.01). The clearance ratio of CYP2D6*1 is 25.0 and the clearance ratio of CYP2D6*10 is 2.0. The expressed CYP2D6*1 and CYP2D6*10 are useful tools to screen the metabolism profile of many xenobiotics and endobiotics in vitro, which are benefit to understand individual metabolism difference.

Objective To explore the expression and significance of CXCL13 in gastric mucosa of children with nodular gastritis. Methods A total of 216 pediatric patients with clinically diagnosed gastritis under gastroscopy were randomly divided into nodular group and non-nodular group according to whether there were nodular changes under endoscopy. The pathological characteristics of gastric mucosa and the expression of CXCL13/CXCR5 in gastric mucosa of all patients were evaluated. Results The infection rates of Helicobacter pylori(HP)in gastric mucosa in nodule group(n=102)and non-nodular group(n=114)were 70.59% and 42.11%, respectively; the rate of severe mononuclear cell infiltration were 74.51% and 22.81%, respectively; the proportion of neutrophil infiltration were 62.75% and 33.33%, respectively; lymph follicles occurred in 64.71% and 20.18%, respectively; and there were statistical differences between the two groups (P<0.001). Positive staining of CXCL13 and CXCR5 were found in the gastric mucosa of all HP infected patients. The percentages of positive cells of CXCL13 and CXCR5 in the gastric mucosa of the nodules group were (71.33±7.14)% and (73.54 ± 7.92)%, which were higher than those in the non-nodule group (45.88 ± 5.92)% and (50.42 ± 5.98)%, respectively, and there were statistical differences (P<0.001). Conclusions Nodular gastritis in children is mainly associated with Hp infection. The expression of CXCL13/CXCR5 is increased in gastric mucosa in children with Hp infection, especially in nodular gastritis, it may be involved in the formation of lymphoid tissue in gastric mucosa.
