Objective To investigate the roles of integrin ανβ6 in the invasion of colon cancer cells and its molecular mechanisms for regulation of the extracellular matrix (ECM) degradation.Methods The RNA interfering technique was used to downregulate the expression of ανβ6 in colon cancer cells. The expression of ανβ6 in transfected cells was determined by RT-PCR and Western blot.The cell invasive capacity was evaluated by reconstituted basement membrane invasion assay. Western blot and gelatin zymography were used to determine whether the reduced αvβ6 expression affects extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK), P-ERK, urokinase-type plasminogen activator (uPA) and matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) expressions. [3H]-labelled type Ⅳ collagen degradation assay was performed to asess if supression of integrin ανβ6 inhibits extracellular matrix degradation.Results Specific siRNA inhibited the expression of ανβ6 in both the protein and mRNA levels in HT29 cells. Down regulation of integrin ανβ6 inhibited ERK, P-ERK1/2 expressions, and the secretion of uPA. pro-MMP-9 and pro-MMP-2 in tumor conditioned medium. Supression of integrin ανβ6 inhibited MAPK dependent [3H]-labelled type Ⅳ collagen degradation. Conclusions These data in our study demonstrats that integrin ανβ6 plays important roles in the invasion of colon cancer cells. The ανβ6 regulates the secretion levels of uPA, pro-MMP-9, pro-MMP-2 and the ECM degradation through the MAPK pathway.

Objective To investigate the effect of geraniin on expression of Wnt3a protein and mRNA in bone marrow stromal cell (BMSC) from osteoporotic rats. Methods The model of osteoporosis (OP) was duplicated by ovariectomy in rats. BMSCs were isolated and cultured. BMSCs from shamed rats were routinly cultured and taken as normal control, and BMSCs from OP rats were divided into model group, 1μmol/L simvastatin positive group, and geraniin group (0.01, 0.1, 1, 10, 100 μmol/L), respectively. The methods of realtime-PCR and western blot were used to assay the protein and mRNA expression of wnt3a, respectively.Results As compared with normal control group, the protein and mRNA expression of wnt3a in model group were significantly suppressed;Compared with model group, 1 μmol/L simvastatin, and 0.1, 1, 10 and 100 μmol/L geraniin significantly increased the expression of wnt3a protein and mRNA. Conclusion It is suggested that geraniin activates wnt/β-catenin pathway though increasing the expression of signaling protein wnt 3a in BMSCs from OP rats. It would be beneficial to osteogenic differentiation of BMSCs and osteogenesis.

ObjectiveTo investigate the clinical manifestations of portal vein thrombosis (PVT) and related risk factors in patients with liver cirrhosis. MethodsA total of 541 patients with liver cirrhosis who were admitted to the General Hospital of Ningxia Medical University from April 2008 to April 2015 were included in the study; 76 patients with PVT were enrolled in the study group, and another 76 patients without PVT matched for sex, age, and Child-Pugh class were enrolled in the control group. The clinical data and related indicators were analyzed and compared between the two groups. The t-test was applied for comparison of continuous data between groups, the chi-square test was applied for comparison of categorical data between groups, and the unconditional logistic regression model was used to determine the independent risk factors for PVT in liver cirrhosis. ResultsIn the patients with liver cirrhosis and PVT, 421% (32/76) had an insidious onset and 579% (44/76) had obvious clinical manifestations. Most patients had Child-Pugh class B and C cirrhosis. There were significant differences between the two groups in platelet count, blood glucose, percentage of neutrophils, severe esophageal and gastric varices, plasma D-dimer, portal vein width, and thickness of the spleen (all P<0.05). The unconditional logistic regression model analysis showed that percentage of neutrophils (OR=1.044, P=0.040), plasma D-dimer (OR=0.091, P=0.000), portal vein width (OR=0.030, P=0.008), and thickness of the spleen (OR=0.427, P=0.003) were the influencing factors for PVT. ConclusionPVT may have an insidious onset in patients with liver cirrhosis, or have different clinical manifestations. Cirrhotic PVT usually occurs in patients with advanced liver cirrhosis, and plasma D-dimer, portal vein width, thickness of the spleen, and percentage of neutrophils are the independent influencing factors for PVT in patients with liver cirrhosis.
