The plasmid pXJ-41-p15, which contains the full length DNA coding for p15 was introduced into human melanoma cell line A375 in which p 15 was deleted by DNA recombination and transfection. Using G418, the positive clones were selected. And the cell model overexpressing p15 was constructed suc cessfully through the analysis of PCR and Western blot. It is showed tha t the expression of p15 was further enhanced after the cells overexpressing p15 were treated with PMA for 72 hours. In contrast of the control cells, the PKC a ctivity was further declined in the cells overexpressing p15 after treated with PMA. At the same time, the growth rate of cell was decreased more significantly and approximate 30% apoptotic cells were found. The expression of Caspase-3(P2 0) was increased in the apoptotic cells. It is indicated that CKI p15 was relat ed to PKC signal transduction in the regulation of cell proliferation and apopto sis. They may be involved in the apoptotic pathway including Caspase3, thus indu cing the apoptosis of cells.

AIM: Recent studies showed that stem cells could replace injured cardiomyocyte and increase the number of functional cardiomyocytes. Researching the pertinent literature in China Journal Full-text Database (CJFD) published between 2005 and 2008 indicated that the researches on stem cell transplantation in the treatment of primary dilated cardiomyopathy were few. This study investigated the therapeutic efficacy and security of peripheral blood stem cell transplantation in coronary artery in treatment of dilated cardiomyopathy and its effects on left ventricular function. METHODS: Forty-two patients with dilated cardiomyopathy between December 2006 and September 2007 were enrolled at the Department of Cardiology of First People's Hospital of Yunnan, including twenty-eight males and fourteen females, averagely aged (56?3) years. Inclusive criteria: patients with less than 65 years, left ventricular enlargement, and left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) ≤ 45%, and without coronary artery disease after coronary arteriongraphy. Informed consents were obtained from patients. Patients were divided into stem cell transplantation group (n=15) and control group (n=27) on the basis of whether being treated by stem cell transplantation. Patients in the stem cell transplantation group were consecutively administered granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF) by hypodermic injection to stimulate bone marrow stem cells themselves based on conventional treatment for five days. Peripheral blood stem cell suspension was disassociated on the 6th day, and the collected suspension was injected into left anterior descending branch over the wire saccule tube for autologous peripheral blood stem cell transplantation. Patients in the control group were administered by conventional treatment of dilated cardiomyopathy. Security and adverse reaction were observed during the mobilization, collection and returning injection of peripheral blood stem cell by coronary artery. Morphous, cardiac function and motion index of left ventricle wall were evaluated using ultrasoundcardiogram before and 3 months after transplantation. Survival rate and incidence rate of heart incidents were compared. RESULTS: Three months after stem cell transplantation in coronary artery, there were a significant decrease in cardiac end-systolic volume (ESV), cardiac end-diastolic volume (EDV) and motion index of left ventricle wall, but a significant increase in LVEF(P
