Objective To screen and clone the target genes transactivated by nonstructural protein 5A (NS5A) of hepatitis C virus (HCV). Methods The mRNA was isolated from HepG2 cells transfected with pcDNA3.1(-)-NS5A and pcDNA3.1(-) empty vector, respectively. Suppression subtractive hybridization (SSH) method was employed to analyze the differentially expressed DNA sequence between the two groups. The obtained sequences were searched for homologous DNA sequence from GenBank. The new gene with no homology with known genes in this database was confirmed, and electric polymerase chain reaction was conducted for cloning the full-length DNA of the new gene and in conjunction with Kozak rule and the terminus of polyadenyl signal sequence. The reverse transcription PCR (RT-PCR) was used to amplify the new gene from mRNA of HepG2 cell as the template. The coding sequence of the new gene was deduced according to the nucleotide sequence. Results A new gene with unknown function was named as NS5ATP3. The nucleotide sequence of the NS5ATP3 gene and its corresponding amino acid have been determined, which contained 1 572nt and 524aa. The sequence of the NS5ATP3 gene was deposited into GenBank, with the accession number AF529364. Conclusions NS5ATP3 gene transactivated by HCV NS5A protein was cloned and identified successfully by combining molecular biological technology and bioinformatics technique. These results will pave the way for the study of the molecular mechanism of the transactivating effects of HCV NA5A protein and the development of new therapy for chronic hepatitis C.

Objective To study the changes of learning-memory ability and synapse of hippocampus after radiation injuries. Methods Sprague-Dawley rats were grouped according to radiation dose to 20Gy group,30Gy group radiated by linear accelerator and control group were used before radiation and 120 days after radiation. Morris maze test were taken to study the learning and memory ability of rats in each group. Average escape latency and search strategy were scaled and analyzed in each group. The parameters of synapse in CA3 area of hippocampus were studied by using electron microscope and image analyzer. Results AEL of 20Gy group was (41. 17 ±10.76 ) s and score of SS was 27.13 ± 2.34 after 120 days' radiation but AEL of 30 Gy group was (78.49 ± 9.32)s and the score of SS was (23.19 ± 7.65 ) nm. There were significant statistic differences Compared with control group and before radiation (P < 0.05 ). The thickness of PSD of 20 Gy group was ( 22.03 ± 6.84 ) nm after 120days' radiation and (23.19 ± 7.65 )nm in 30 Gy group. There were significant statistic differences compared with control group and before radiation. It was observed that both in 20 Gy and 30 Gy group' s the length of synaptic activity area was shorter,the curvature of synaptic interface was smaller,the width of synaptic cleft and the thickness of PSD was narrower than that of control group. Conclusion There was close relation between the changes of learning-memory ability and synapse of hippocampus after radiation injuries.

Objective To explore the changes of expression of tight junction protein occludin in the brain microvascular endothelial cells of rats with acute necrotizing pancreatitis (ANP), and to study the relationship between the occludin expression and degree of pancreatic pathologic changes. Methods 80 rats were randomly divided into sham-operation (SO) group and ANP 3 h, 6 h, 12 h, and 24 h groups. Retrograde pancreatic duct injection of 5% choleate sodium in rats was used to establish ANP models. Pancreatic pathologic changes was evaluated. Immunohistochemistry, Western blot and RT-PCR were used to determine the expressions of the tight junction protein occludin in the brain microvascular endothelial cells. Results Occludin protein was linearly expressed along brain vascular vessels. The expression of occludin protein at 3h was 0. 35±0.09 in brain tissues from rats with ANP and 0. 49±0.08 in SO group, the expression of occludin mRNA were decreased from 1.50±0.30 to 1.01±0.18 (P < 0.05), the lowest expression rate occurred at 6 h, and the values in the two groups were 0. 26±0.07 and 0. 93±0. 19, respectively, the expressions of occludin protein and mRNA of ANP group at 12 h, 24 h were notably increased when compared with those at 6 h (P < 0. 05), but they were still lower than those in SO group (P < 0.05). The occludin protein and mRNA expressions were negatively related with the degree of pancreatic pathologic changes (Pearson correlation coefficient: -0.48 and -0.536, P < 0.05). Conclusions The expression of tight junction protein occludin decreased at both protein and mRNA level in brain microvascular endothelial cells of ANP rats. Furthermore, the expression of occludin was negatively correlated with pathological change of pancreas.
