This study is to report the preparation of complexes of Ad5 and anionic liposomes (AL-Ad5), the amplification of adenoviruses with enhanced green fluorescent protein (eGFP) reporter gene performed by HEK 293 cells, the adenoviral vectors purified by cesium chloride gradient centrifugation, and the titer of adenovirus determined by cytopathic effect (CPE) method, hexon capsid immunoassay and quantitative-PCR (Q-PCR), separately. The prescription and experiment conditions were optimized by central composite design (CCD). The complexes of Ad5 and AL-Ad5 were formulated by the calcium-induced phase change method. The morpholopy, particle size and zeta potential were detected by dynamic light scattering (DLS) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM), respectively. Additionally, the bicolourable fluoresce-labeled complexes (F(labeled)-AL-Ad5) were prepared and their intracellular location in MDCK cells was detected by confocal laser scanning microscopy (CLSM). The results indicate that the complexes of AL-Ad5 exhibited a uniform distribution with a particle size of 211 +/- 10 nm and a zeta potential of -41.2 +/- 2.2 mV. The result of CLSM demonstrates that the intracellular location of red fluoresce-labeled adenovirus was consistent with that of green fluoresce-labeled liposomes suggesting that the naked adenovirus was well encapsulated by the anionic liposomes in complexes of AL-Ad5.

Objective:To analyze the molecular characteristics of dengue virus (DENV) strains circulating in Shantou city in 2018 and 2019 for elucidating the reasons causing strikingly different dengue fever epidemics during the two years and understanding the transmission characteristics and routes of DENV, and to provide reference for the prevention and control of dengue fever.Methods:Detection of viral nucleic acid contents and amplification and sequencing of E gene were carried out on 872 samples positive for DENV acid in 2018 and 2019. Phylogenetic trees were constructed based on the E gene sequences to analyze the homology of DENV strains. The sources and transmission routes of the strains were also analyzed. Results:A total of 99 sequences of DENV E gene were acquired, including 68 DENV-1 sequences and 31 DENV-2 sequences. The cases of dengue fever were sporadic in 2018. Phylogenetic tree showed the strains isolated in 2018 were from multi-sources and closely related to those found in Guangzhou city and Southeast Asia area. Dengue fever outbreaks occurred in 2019 and most of the prevalent strains were from a single source, which was speculated to be Cambodia. Conclusions:Dengue fever in Shantou city was mainly caused by imported strains of the same year rather than by local strains in previous years. DENV strains in Shantou might be traced back to Southeast Asia area and transmitted to Shantou through many routes.

OBJECTIVETo explore the relationship between angiotensinogen (AGT) gene M235T and TCM syndrome type in essential hypertension (ET) patients.
METHODSThe gene mutation frequency of AGT M235T in 168 ET patients and 42 nomotensive (NT) subjects were determined using polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP) technique.
RESULTSThere was a significant difference in AGT M235T gene mutation between patients of Gan-fire exuberant type and those of yin-yang deficiency type (P < 0.01), homozygote type TT appeared with higher frequency. Multivariate regression linear analysis demonstrated that the genotypes of AGT M235T was correlated with the prognosis of ET to a certain degree.
CONCLUSIONGene mutation of AGT M235T may be associated with the genesis and development of ET, and the TCM syndrome type of ET has its own intrinsic molecular biological background.

AIM: To determine whether the eukaryotic initiation factor-4E (eIF-4E) inhibition facilitates the degradation of heparanase mRNA and alters heparanase protein expression in human colon adenocarcinoma cell line, LS-174T. METHODS: A 20-mer antisense s-oligodeoxynucleotide (asODN) targeted against the translation start site of eIF-4E mRNA were introduced into LS-174T cells by lipid-mediated DNA-transfection. eIF-4E protein and mRNA levels were detected by Western blot and RT-PCR, respectively. The mRNA levels of heparanase were determined by Northern blot. The alterations of heparanase expression were confirmed by Western blot analysis. RESULTS: The 20-mer asODN against eIF-4E specifically and significantly inhibited eIF-4E protein expression. Following eIF-4E inhibition, a significant reduction of heparanase mRNA was observed on Northern blot, and at the same time, heparanase protein expression significantly decreased as well. CONCLUSIONS: The results indicate that the inhibition of eIF-4E strongly reduces the stability of heparanase mRNA in colon adenocarcinoma cell line, LS-174T and resultes in an apparent reduction in the expression of heparanase protein.
