A large amount of nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NADPH) is required for fatty acid synthesis and maintenance of the redox state in cancer cells. Malic enzyme 1(ME1)-dependent NADPH production is one of the three pathways that contribute to the formation of the cytosolic NADPH pool. ME1 is generally considered to be overexpressed in cancer cells to meet the high demand for increased de novo fatty acid synthesis. In the present study, we found that glucose induced higher ME1 activity and that repressing ME1 had a profound impact on glucose metabolism of nasopharyngeal carcinoma(NPC) cells. High incorporation of glucose and an enhancement of the pentose phosphate pathway were observed in ME1-repressed cells. However, there were no obvious changes in the other two pathways for glucose metabolism: glycolysis and oxidative phosphorylation. Interestingly, NADPH was decreased under low-glucose condition in ME1-repressed cells relative to wild-type cells, whereas no significant difference was observed under high-glucose condition. ME1-repressed cells had significantly decreased tolerance to low-glucose condition. Moreover, NADPH produced by ME1 was not only important for fatty acid synthesis but also essential for maintenance of the intracellular redox state and the protection of cells from oxidative stress. Furthermore, diminished migration and invasion were observed in ME1-repressed cells due to a reduced level of Snail protein. Collectively, these results suggest an essential role for ME1 in the production of cytosolic NADPH and maintenance of migratory and invasive abilities of NPC cells.

OBJECTIVETo analyze the clinical factors affecting the recurrence of giant cell tumors (GCT) of bone.

METHODSThe complete data of 146 cases with GCT were reviewed. Thirteen clinical factors were analyzed by chi(2) analysis. And the related Campanacci's grade system and Jaffe's grade system was analyzed by Crosstabs analysis. Multipal factors were analyzed by Logistic regression analysis.

RESULTSNineteen of 146 cases recurred, and recurrence rate was 13.0%. Recurrence rates of curettage and enblock resection groups were 18.8% and 6.3% respectively. And recurrence rates of curettage with or without of extensive procedure were 12.9% and 38.9%. Five cases had lung metastasis, and two cases presented with malignant transformation. The metastasis rate and the rate of malignant transformation were 3.4% and 1.4% respectively. The two factors of surgery method and burst out of bone-envelope appearance were related with the recurrence. Moreover, Logistic regression revealed that the surgery method significantly affected the recurrence. And Campanacci's grade system and Jaffe's grade system were not related to each other.

CONCLUSIONSSurgery method is the main factor affected the recurrence of GCT, and Campanacci's grade system or Jaffe's grade system has no prognostic value.

In order to investigate the effect of shRNA targeted to beta-catenin on the growth of K562 cells, plasmid containing beta-catenin specific shRNA sequence was transfected into K562 cells by lipofectamine 2000, and G418 was added to screen the positive cells. Real-time PCR and Western blot were used to detect the expression of beta-catenin. Cell growth curve, MTT and colony forming cell assays were used to evaluate the proliferation potential of cells. The results showed that the mRNA level of beta-catenin was reduced significantly in K562 cells transfected into interfering plasmid as compared with control plasmid, while the protein level failed to demonstrate difference by the time of 72 hours after transfection. After long-term culture with G418, the count of positive cells enhanced in control group while no positive cells survived in the interfering group. Colony-forming cell assays revealed that the K562 cells in interfering group formed colonies with very small size and low forming rate, compared with the control group, though the growth curve and MTT failed to illustrate differences. It is concluded that the beta-catenin-specific shRNA mediated by plasmid can effectively knockdown the expression of beta-catenin gene and inhibit the colony-forming ability in K562 cells, it is a potential target for the therapy of CML, even in blast crisis.

Objective: To explore the correlation among carotid atherosclerosis, ankle-brachial index (ABI) and urinary microalbumin (UMA) level in patients with essential hypertension (EH). Methods: A total of 215 EH patients treated in our hospital from Apr 2014 to Aug 2015 were selected. According to 24h UMA level, patients were divided into normal UMA group (n=116) and microalbuminuria (MAU) group (n=99). General data, UMA level, carotid intima-media thickness (CIMT), carotid artery lumen diameter, incidence rate of plaque and ABI were measured and compared between two groups. Correlation among CIMT, ankle-brachial index (ABI) and urinary microalbumin (UMA) level was analyzed in EH + MAU patients. Results: There were no significant difference in age, gender, levels of blood pressure, fasting blood glucose, blood lipids and serum creatinine between two groups, P＞0. 05 all. Compared with normal UMA group, there were significant rise in UMA level [21. 25 (15. 75, 25. 75) mg/d vs. 86. 50 (56. 50, 104. 50) mg/d], CIMT [(1. 20± 1. 09) mm vs. (1. 76±0. 81) mm]and incidence rate of plaque (55. 17％ vs. 75. 76％), and significant reduction in ABI [(1. 12±0. 11) vs. (0. 97±0. 11)] in MAU group, P＜0. 01 all. Linear correlation analysis indicated that UMA level was significant positively correlated with CIMT (r=0. 551, P=0. 001), and significant inversely correlated with ABI (r=-0. 266, P=0. 008) in EH + MAU patients. Conclusion: In EH+ MAU patients, MAU is significant positively correlated with CIMT, and significant inversely correlated with ABI, suggesting MAU is not only related to hypertensive renal disease, but also an early sign of subclinical atherosclerosis.
