Objective To discuss the role of miRNA-374a in invasion and metastasis of breast cancer.Methods Breast tissues from 48 patients(32 patients with breast cancer)were classified into high invasive and metastatic group(HIMG,group A),low invasive and metastatic group(LIMG,group B),and normal group (group C).Each group contained 16 specimens.6 samples were selected randomly from each group and were detected by microRNA array.Key microRNA (miRNA-374a)was selected and its target protein(BMP-2) was predicted by bioinformatics software.The rest 10 specimens of each group were detected by real-time qRT-PCR and Western blot to test the content of miRNA-374a,mRNA and protein of BMP-2.Correlation analysis was performed between miRNA and the target protein.SPSS 18.0 was used to make statistical analysis.Results The relative content of miRNA-374a was higher in group C than in group B,higher in group B than in group A(P ＜ 0.05).BMP-2 mRNA level was higher in group A and group B than in group C (P ＜ 0.05).The expression level of BMP-2 protein was lower in group C than in group B,lower in group B than in group A(P ＜0.05).Correlation analysis showed that miRNA-374a was negatively correlated with BMP-2 protein(P =-0.412 8).Conclusion miRNA-374a inhibits the invasion and metastasis by regulating BMP-2 in human breast cancer.

Objective To investigate the pile protein (paxillin) and carbonic anhydrases Ⅸ (CA Ⅸ)expression and its significance in duodenal papilla carcinoma patients.Methods Eighty-seven cases of duodenal papilla carcinoma were enrolled as our subject.Immunohistochemical staining was used to detect the expressions of paxillin and CAⅨ in site of tumor,adjacent tissue and duodenal papillitis tissue.Results Sixtyfive cases (74.7％ (65/87)) were showed a higher expression of paxillin in cancer site than that of adjacent tissue (41％ (16/39),P ＜ 0.05) and duodenal papillitis tissue (41.3％ (19/46),P ＜ 0.05),and the difference was statisically significant (x2 =19.869,P ＜0.05).While a higher expression of CA Ⅸ in 62 cases (71.3％) in cancer site was seen,higher than that of adjacent tissue (33.3％ (13/39),P ＜ 0.05) and duodenal papillitis tissue (30.4％ (14/46),P ＜ 0.05),and the difference was statisically significant (x2 =26.936,P ＜ 0.05).As the increase of the cancer tissue malignant degree and the surrounding tissue invasion or distant metastasis degree,paxillin and CA Ⅸ expression increased.Conclusion The paxillin and CAⅨ might served as the early indicators for diagnosis and judgment of prognosis of duodenal papilla cancer.

This research uses six Agrobacterium rhizogenes R1601, R15384, R1000, A4, R1025 and R1 to infect silymarin explants to induce hairy roots and silibin. All of the six A. rhizogenes can induce Silybum marianum to generate hairy roots and the A. rhizogene A4 shows comparatively high infection on the plant. This research determines the condition to induce silymarin hairy roots by the factors of infection time, pre-culturing, co-culturing and pH value. The fact that MS liquid medium fits the proliferation of silymarin hairy roots is determined. Through PCR molecular identification, it can be seen that the DNA plasmids in the A. rhizogenes are successfully integrated into the genome of transformed roots. Using liquid chromatography, it is determined that the silibin content in silymarin hairy roots is 2.5 times that in the plant In this research, the silymarin hairy roots culturing system is established, which lays a foundation for the study of culturing silymarin hairy roots and producing silibin.

ObjectiveTo investigate the characteristics,treatment and prognosis of solid pseudopapillary tumor of the pancreas(SPTP)in the minor. MethodsCombining minor SPTP cases in literatures and 4 cases, analyzed the clinical and pathological features, and the relationship with sex hormone receptors, the growth and development,treatment and prognosis.ResultsThe clinical manifestations of SPTP in minor were same as adults, but the minors showed significant growth retardation which can be reversed after the tumor surgical removal, like 4 patients all showed secondary sex characteristics of retardation in the group. The protocol of surgical treatment was to ensure complete removal of the tumor and keep the healthy organs as much as possible which reduced the impact to the postoperative growth and development.The premise of operation therapy in the 4 cases was minimization of operation trauma. Minor SPTP prognosis had not been determined. ConclusionThe diagnosis and treatment of minor SPTP should be fully taken into account the characteristics of the minor to ensure that patients can continue long-term growth and development and the quality of life.

AIM:To investigate the changes of histone modifications during the activation of primarily cultured rat hepatic stellate cells ( HSCs) and the relationship between histone modification patterns andα-smooth muscle actin (α-SMA) expression, and to explore the roles of histone modifications in the activation of HSCs.METHODS:The rat HSCs were isolated by in situ perfusion of collagenase combined with density gradient centrifugation, cultured in vitro and identi-fied by immunofluorescence staining.The morphological features of the cells were observed under inverted microscope.The changes of desmin and α-SMA during the activation of HSCs were detected by immunofluorescence staining and Western blotting.The levels of histone 3 lysine 4 dimethylation (H3K4me2), histone 3 lysine 9 dimethylation (H3K9me2), his-tone 3 lysine 9 acetylation (acH3K9) and histone 4 lysine 12 acetylation (acH4K12) in quiescent HSCs and activated HSCs were determined by Western blotting.RESULTS: The morphology of HSCs shifted from a quiescent phenotype to highly activated myofibroblast during the culture.Immunofluorescence staining and Western blotting showed that the expres-sion levels of α-SMA and desmin were increased over time and reached maximum at 15 d.According to the results of cell morphology and immunofluorescence staining, the cells cultured for 24 h and 15 d were quiescent and activated HSCs, re-spectively.Compared with quiescent HSCs, there were higher H3K4me2 and lower H3K9me2, acH3K9 and acH4K12 modification levels in activated HSCs ( P<0.01 ) .CONCLUSION: Histone modifications show anomalous expression during the activation of primarily cultured rat HSCs.Histone modifications may contribute to the transdifferentiation of HSCs and the development of hepatic fibrosis.
