Aim To identify the potential biomarkers associated with carbon tetrachloride(CCl 4 )-induced a-cute hepatic injury in rats and explore the therapeutic effect of Hugan Tablets(HGT). Methods The model was established by intraperitoneal injection of CCl4 in oil(1 : 1,V/ V)with a dosage of 1 mL·kg - 1 body weight to rats once. The levels of aspartate aminotrans-ferase(AST),alanine aminotransferase(ALT),alka-line phosphatase (ALP ) and lactate dehydrogenase (LDH)in serum of rats were determined. Moreover,a proton nuclear magnetic resonance (1 H-NMR)based metabonomic approach in combination with multivariate data analysis was applied to demonstrate CCl4-induced acute hepatic injury metabolic perturbations in rat urine and feces and identify the corresponding metabolic bio-markers. The intervention effect of HGT was evaluated based on the changes of metabolic phenotype and po-tential biomarkers related to acute hepatic injury. Re-sults The levels of AST,ALT,ALP and LDH in ser-um of rats with acute hepatic injury were significantly reduced by administration of HGT,respectively. The disturbed metabolic state associated with CCl4-induced acute hepatic injury in rat urine and feces could be re-stored by HGT. Meanwhile,five potential biomarkers (2-oxoglutarate,citrate,creatinine,trimethylamine N-oxide,hippurate)in rat urine and three potential bio-markers(butyrate,glucose,uracil)in rat feces related to acute hepatic injury were reversed by administration of HGT,respectively. Conclusion HGT exerts pro-tective effects against CCl4-induced acute hepatic inju-ry in rats,which is probably mediated by regulation of tricarboxylic acid cycle and gut microbiota metabolism.

To investigate the relationship between nm23-H1 gene and human chronic myeloblastic leukemia we designed siRNAs which target nm23-H1 gene. According to the principles of designing siRNA, we selected three siRNAs and transfected them into K562 cells by lipofectamine2000. The expression levels of nm23-H1 mRNA were detected by reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction after transfection for 24 hours. The expression levels of nm23-H1 protein were assayed by immunocytochemical method after transfection for 48 hours. And after transfection for 24, 48 and 72 hours, cell proliferation was determined by MTT method. Among the three siRNAs, siNM526 can effectively inhibit the expression of nm23-H1 on mRNA and protein levels. The growth of K562 cells was suppressed after transfection of siNM526. These results suggest that low expression level of nm23-H1 in K562 cells inhibited cell proliferation, namely reduced malignant degree of them. Therefore nm23-H1 gene might be a potential target of leukemia treatment.

To purify recombinant human nucleoside diphosphate kinase A (rhNDPK-A) efficiently in pilot scale, cells of rhNDPK-A producing E. coli were homogenized by high pressure under 4 degrees C, 950 Pa. The insoluble debris was removed by microfiltration and the soluble portion was concentrated by ultrafiltration. The resulted crude sample was loaded on DEAE-sepharose Fast Flow. The target fraction was collected and then load on Cibacron Blue 3GA Sepharose CL-4B. Eluted with buffer containing ATP from the AC column, rhNDPK-A was polished with ultrafiltration. The results showed that after homogenized 2 rounds, 1500g cells of E. coli brought crude sample containing 47.6g NDPK-A. Treated with microfiltration and ultrafiltration, 27.3g of NDPK-A were recovered from this bacteria homogenate. After 2-step purification with column chromatography and then polished with ultrafiltration, 17.2 g rhNDPK-A were collected with purity of 96.3%. The recovery of the whole purification process was 36.2%, and the productivity of rhNDPK-A was 1.15 g per 100 g wet cells. Comparing the recovery of each purification step, it was found that the recovery of polish is higher than that of affinity chromatography, which is higher than that of ion exchange chromatography. The limit step was the process of sample pretreatment among the 4 purification steps. Combine with the fermentation results reported before, it was deduced that the productivity of rhNDPK-A was 510 mg/L. In conclusion, an easily controlled purification condition with high yield provides material for the translation researches of NDPK; In addition, it was suggested the crucial step determine the recovery of non-secretive recombinant proteins might be the process of sample pretreatment, not be the process of column chromatography.
