Tianjin Medical Journal 2014;(11):1062-1065
Objective To discuss the influence and significance of stromal cell-derived factor 1 (SDF-1) and its specific receptor CXC chemokine receptor 4 (CXCR4) in proliferation, migration and invasion ability of SW480 colorectal cancer cells. Methods The colorectal cancer cell line SW480 in logarithmic phase was divided into four groups:control group (with no any processing), SDF-1 group (added 100μg/L SDF-1), SDF-1+1 mg/L AMD3100 mixed group (added 1 mg/L AMD3100 for 2 hours, then added 100μg/L SDF-1) and AMD3100 group (added 1 mg/L AMD3100). Immunohisto?chemistry method was used to detect the protein expression of CXCR4 in SW480 cells. The expression of CXCR4 mRNA in SW480 cells was detected by RT-PCR before and after SDF-1 and AMD3100 treatment. MTT assay and transwell chamber were used to test the changes of proliferation, migration and invasion ability of SW480 cells before and after SDF-1 and AMD3100 treatment. Results The result of immunohistochemistry showed that CXCR4 protein was expressed in SW480 cells (positive rate=80%). CXCR4 mRNA was expressed in SW480 cells. The expression of CXCR4 mRNA was up-regulat?ed by SDF-1(100μg/L), which could be inhibited by AMD3100 (1 mg/L). The proliferation activity was higher in SDF-1 group (0.847±0.039) compared to that in control group (0.624±0.011) and SDF-1+AMD3100 mixed group (0.607 ±0.016). The proliferation activity was lower in AMD3100 group (0.456 ± 0.031) than that in control group and SDF-1+AMD3100 mixed group (F=108.03, P<0.05). The number of transmembrane cells was more in SDF-1 group (98.7±5.8, 33.7±6.2) than that in control group (21.0±2.2, 6.1±2.3), SDF-1+1 mg/L AMD3100 mixed group (18.5±8.4, 8.5±2.8) and AMD3100 group (12.1±3.2, 2.1±1.0) detected by transwell chamber experiment. However, there were no statistical differences between three groups. Conclusion The biological axis SDF-1/CXCR4 can promote the proliferation, migration and invasion in colorectal cancer cell line SW480.

Research on novel pullulanase has major significance on the domestic industrialization of pullulanase and the breakdown of foreign monopoly. A thermophilic bacteria LM 18-11 producing thermostable pullulanase was isolated from Lunma hot springs of Yunnan province. It was identified as Anoxybacillus sp. by 16S rDNA phylogenetic analysis. Full-length pullulanase gene was cloned from Anoxybacillus sp. LM18-11. The optimum temperature of the pullulanase was between 55 and 60 degrees C with a half-life as long as 48 h at 60 degrees C; and its optimum pH was between 5.6 and 6.4. V(max) and K(m) of the pullulanase was measured as 750 U/mg and 1.47 mg/mL, which is the highest specific activity reported so far. The pullulanase crystals structure showed a typical alpha-amylase family structure. The N-terminal has a special substrate binding domain. Activity and substrate binding were decreased when the domain was deleted, the V(max) and K(m) were 324 U/mg and 1.95 mg/mL, respectively. The pullulanase was highly heterologous expressed in Bacillus subtilis by P43 promoter. The extracellular enzyme activity was 42 U/mL, which increased more than 40 times compared to the initial strain. This pullulanase has good application prospects.

Objective:To investigate the expression of C-X-C chemokine ligand-14 (CXCL14) and epidermal growth factor receptor (EG-FR) in human gastric cancer and to analyze the relationship of CXCL14 with clinicopathological features. Methods:The expression of CXCL14 and EGFR was detected by Immunohistochemical SP method in 121 cases of gastric cancer tissue, 62 cases of the adjacent non-tumor gastric mucosa, and 60 cases of allogeneic non-tumor gastric mucosa. Results:The positive rates of CXCL14 and EGFR expres-sion were 80.17%and 48.76%in gastric cancer, respectively, and both were significantly higher in the adjacent non-tumor gastric mu-cosa and allogeneic non-tumor gastric mucosa. The differences were significant (P<0.01). Overexpression of CXCL14 was closely corre-lated with the depth of cancer invasion, differentiation, and clinical stage, and the differences were significant (P<0.05). Overexpres-sion of EGFR was correlated with cancer differentiation, lymph node metastasis, and clinical stage. The differences were significant (P<0.05). Based on the Spearman correlation analysis, the expression of CXCL14 and EGFR in gastric cancer was positively correlated (rs=0.195, P<0.05). Conclusion:Abnormal CXCL14 expression in gastric cancer may be associated with the occurrence and development of gastric cancer. CXCL14 expression is positively correlated with EGFR expression, suggesting that the two have a synergistic effect in gas-tric cancer development.
