AIM:To construct eukaryotic expression vector expressing double shRNA sections targeting Survivin gene.METHODS: Eukaryotic expression vector expressing double shRNA sections targeting Survivin gene were designed and chemically synthesized.They were directionally inserted into plasmid pGenesil-1 with respectively U6 promoter and termination code,the common green fluorescence protein(EGFP) gene and Neo gene. In this way,the vector of pGenesil-1 shRNA containing 2 sections of Survivin shRNA were constructed and they were transfected into the pancreatic cancer cell Bx-PC3.Transfection was detected by fluorescence microscope.The inhibition expression of Survivin mRNA was measured by RT-PCR.RESULTS: HE1 and HE2 plasmids were identified by the biocatalyst cut which confirmed the exactitude and were analyzed by the sequence analysis which verified the perfect clone plasmid inserted by them.CONCLUSION: A eukaryotic expression vector of double short hairpin RNA for Survivin gene is successfully constructed.The pancreatic cancer cells Bx-PC3 succeed to be transfected and expression of Survivin mRNA is inhibited obviously.

Objective To investigate the anti-inflammatory and analgesic activities of different extracts from X. mongolicum compared with that of X. sibiricum. Methods Seventy male Kunming mices were randomly divided into seven groups:control group,aspirin group,the ethanol extracts of X. sibiricum group and X. mongolicum group,the extracts from X. mongolicum with ether,ethyl acetate,and n-butyl alcohol group(n=10 each). The mice were administrated with 500 mg·kg-1 ( p. o. ) of different extracts. The hot-plate tests and the xylene-induced ear edema in mice were performed to observe the analgesic and anti-inflammatory activities,respectively. Results In the hot-plate tests,the pain threshold from the extracts of X. sibiricum and the different extracts from X. mongolicum at 60,120,180 min were prolonged,and there was no statistically significant differences(P>0. 05) between the ethanol extracts from X. sibiricum and X. mongolicum. The best analgesic activity was the ether and butyl alcohol extracts from X. mongolicum. Meanwile,the ear edema from the extracts of X. sibiricum and the different extracts of X. mongolicum were inhibited significantly(P<0. 05). There was also no significant differences between the ethanol extracts of X. sibiricum and X. mongolicum(P>0. 05). The ether and butyl alcohol extracts from of X. mongolicum showed the best anti-inflammatory effect. Conclusion X. mongolicum exhibites significant anti-inflammatory and analgesic activities comparable to that of X. sibiricum. The best anti-inflammation and analgesic activities were from ether and butyl alcohol extracts from X. mongolicum.

The antioxidative capability and Na+-K+-ATPase α1-subunit mRNA expression in myocardium of hypothyroid rats induced by low-iodine diet were observed. The results showed that the antioxidative capability of myocardium decreased, resulting in lipid peroxidative damage, atrophy of myocardial cells and chondrification of tunica intima, along with decreased expression of sodium pump α1 subunit mRNA in hypothyroid rats.

Objective To observe the association between homocysteine (Hcy)level and low limb vascular disease(LLVD) in newly-diagnosed type 2 diabetic patients. Methods The study subjects were divided into three groups : control group (NC), newly-diagnosed type 2 diabetes group without peripheral artery disease (T2DM) and peripheral artery disease with newly-diagnosed type 2 diabetes group (T2DM+LLVD).Both Hcy and the ankle-brachial index(ABI) were measured in three groups. Results Compared with NC group, clinical parameters of body mass index,waist-to-hip ratio,systolic blood pressure, total cholesterol(TC),triglycerides(TG),low density lipoprotein-cholesterol(LDL-C),and glycated hemoglobin A1C (HbA1c) increased markedly,and the content of high density lipoprotein-cholesterol (HDL-C) was markedly lower in both T2DM and T2DM+LLVD groups.In T2DM+LLVD group the contents of Hcy,LDL-C and HbA1c were markedly higher than in T2DM group,but the content of HDL-C decreased significantly.Hcy was independently associated with the development of peripheral artery disease in newly-diagnosed type 2 diabetic patients by logisitic regression analysis. Conclusions Increased Hcy is an independent risk factor for peripheral artery disease in newly-diagnosed type 2 diabetes.

Objective Salidroside is a major active component of integripetal rhodiola herbal medicine, which has a significant activity against hypoxia and ischemia.This study was to investigate the effects of side chain carbon losssalidroside analogues (N04) on the expressions of HIF-1α-related factors in the hypoxia-injured EAhy926 human vascular endothelial cells.Methods EAhy926 human umbilical vein endothelial cells in the logarithmic growth phase were randomly divided into a normal control, a hypoxia model control, a salidroside, a high-dose N04, a medium-dose N04, and a low-dose N04 group.The hypoxia model was established by depriving the culture medium of sugar and serum and culturing the EAhy926 cells in an environment of 95%N2+5%CO2 for 2 hours, followed by intervention with salidroside at 1×10-6 mol/L and N04 at 1×10-6, 1×10-7, and 1×10-8 mol/L, respectively.Then, the activity of the cells was detected by MTT assay, their LDH activity examined by spectrophotometry, the mRNA expressions of HIF-1α and VEGF measured by RT-PCR, the protein expressions of HIF-1α, VEGF and pVHL determined by Western blot, and the activity of eNOS measured by ELISA.Results Compared with the normal control group, the hypoxia model cells showed significantly reduced activity (0.51±0.05 vs 0.27±0.02, P<0.01), an elevated LDH level ([6.65±1.43] vs [78.82±2.33] U/L, P<0.01), and decreased eNOS activity ([1.56±0.23] vs [1.16±0.20] U/100 mL, P<0.01).In comparison with the hypoxia model group, the cells treated with high-, medium-, and low-dose N04 exhibited remarkably increased activity (0.27±0.02 vs 0.0.42±0.05, 0.40±0.03 and 0.37±0.04, P<0.01), a reduced LDH level ([78.82±2.33] vs [53.05±3.90], [58.42±4.45] and [62.73±3.63] U/L, P<0.01), and increased eNOS activity ([1.16±0.20] vs [3.01±0.47], [2.60±0.26] and [2.32±0.29] U/100 mL, P<0.01).The activity of eNOS was also increased in the salidroside group ([2.32±0.29] U/100 mL, P<0.01).The cell activity in the high-and medium-dose N04 groups was markedly higher than that in the salidroside group (P<0.05), and so was the eNOS activity in the high-dose N04 group and the LDH level in the medium-and low-dose N04 groups (P<0.05).In comparison with the normal control group, the expressions of HIF-1α mRNA, HIF-1α protein and VEGF protein were significantly up-regulated in the hypoxia model group (P<0.01) while that of the pVHL protein markedly down-regulated (P<0.01).Compared with the hypoxia model group, the expressions of HIF-1α mRNA, HIF-1α protein and VEGF protein were remarkably reduced (P<0.05), while that of the pVHL protein markedly elevated (P<0.05).Both the expressions of VEGF mRNA and HIF-1α protein were significantly lower in the medium-and low-dose N04 groups than in the salidroside group (P<0.05).Conclusion N04 can protect vascular endothelial cells against hypoxia-induced injury by regulating the expression of HIF-1α-related factors and eNOS.

Objective To study the mutations of Env sequence of SIVmac239 after infection of Chinese rhesus monkeys, and compare the differences and characteristics of Gp120 sequences of enterotropic and neurotropic SIV strains. Methods Six strains of simian immunodeficiency virus were analyzed in this study: four separated from peripheral blood mononuclear cells of SIVmac239-infected monkeys and two neurotropic SIVmac251 strains.Isolated and cultured monoclonal virus was obtained by limiting dilution assay.Gp120 sequences were amplified after the RNA extraction and phylogenetic analysis was processed thereafter.So did the Gp120 amino acid sequence and N-glycosylation sites analysis of the enterotropic and neurotropic strains.Results SIVmac239 had different mutations in four rhesus monkeys.The diversity in amino acid sequences of the enterotropic and neurotropic strains concentrated in the V1 and V4 regions of Gp120.The enterotropic strains had an addition of glycosylation site in V4 but the glycosylation site changes of neurotropic strains were located in the conservative regions of C1, C2 and C3.Conclusions The addition of one glycosylation site in V4 region of GP120 and loss of one glycosylation site in C1 region are associated with enhanced enterotropism and neurotropism.The differences between the enterotropic and neurotropic strains are not dipicted in Gp120 V3 region which is closely related with the tropism of strains.
