1. Metastatic suppressor Kangai 1 in primary gallbladder carcicoma: Expression and clinical significance
Academic Journal of Second Military Medical University 2006;27(10):1101-1104
Objective: To investigate the expression of metastatic suppressor Kangai 1 (KAI1) expression in the primary gallbladder carcinoma and its clinical significance. Methods: The clinical stages of 35 primary gallbladder carcinoma patients were determined according to the TNM criteria of International Union Against Cancer (UICC). Histopathologic changes and the expressions of KAI1 were detected by H-E and immunohistochemical methods, respectively. All the patients were followed up for 3 years. Results: It was found that 1 patient had carcinoma in situ (0 stage), 13 had early carcinoma (I-II stage), and 21 had intermediate or advanced carcinoma (III-IV stage). Histopathologic grading showed that 14 patients had well-differentiated carcinomas, 10 had moderately differentiated ones, and 11 had poorly differentiated ones. Immunohistochemical results revealed that 60.00% (21/35) of the patients were positive of KAI1, with the positive rate being 92.31% (12/13) in early carcinoma (I-II stage) and 42.86% (9/21) in intermediate and advanced carcinoma (III-IV stage), and the former was significantly higher than the latter (Pexact=0.00 476). The positive rate of KAI1 protein was negatively correlated with the clinical staging of patients (Ptrend=0.004) and positively correlated with histopathologic grading (Ptrend=0.001). The positive rate of KAI1 protein in well differentiated carcinoma was 92.86% (13/14), in moderately differentiated carcinoma was 60.00% (6/10), and in poorly differentiated carcinoma was 18.18% (2/11)(Pexact=0.000 475 between the 3 groups). The positive rate of KAI1 protein was 89.47% (17/ 19) in 19 survival patients and 25.00% (4/16) in 16 death cases. Obvious significance of the expression of KAI1 protein was found between the 2 groups (P=0.001). Conclusion: The positive rate of KAI1 is negatively correlated with the clinical staging but positively correlated with the histopathologic grading in patients with primary gallbladder carcinoma. The high expression of KAI1 genes may indicate a better prognosis of gallbladder carcinoma.

Objective To explore the method for differentiation induction of leukemia cells into dendritic cells(DC) by A23187 in vitro. Methods Chronic myeloid leukemia K562 cells were cultured with A23187 or cytokine to induce differentiation and form DC. The morphologic features of cells were observed under inverted microscope, the changes of DC surface marks were determined by flow cytometry and RT-PCR, the ability to stimulate lymphocyte proliferation was tested by MTT colorimetry. Results Under the condition of the does (385 ng/ml) of A23187 for four days, some of K562 cells were found in typical dendritic appearance.The expression of DC markers CD1a,CD83 ,HLA-DR,CD86 and CD80 was 6.65 ±2.70,7.37 ±2.40,6.24 ±4.29, 21.60 ± 3.84, 18.52 ± 4.48 repectively, and increased obviously compared with the negative control group(2.80 ±0.52,1.85 ±0.56,2.25 ±0.47,6.69 ±0.83,9.96 ±3.53). The differences had statistical significance (P < 0.05). K562 cells derived from DC acquired the ability to stimulate lymphocyte proliferation.Conclusion A23187 can induce the leukemia cells differenntiation into activated DC-like cells rapidly.

OBJECTIVE To establish an in vitro cell model based on patient-specific human neural stem cells to study the pathomechanism of sporadic AD as well as screen candidate drugs.METHODS The peripheral blood cells from sporadic AD patients and cognitive normal controls were repro-grammed into inducedpluripotent stem cells(iPSCs),which were further induced into neural stem cells and neurons. The cell growth curve during the differentiation process was recorded by the IncuCyte ZOOM, and neural stem cells and neurons were identified by immunofluorescence. The apoptosis of neural stem cells and neurons was detected by Click-iT?Plus TUNEL Assay. RESULTS Neural stem cells derived from AD patients and cognitive normal controls can express neural stem cell markers Nes-tin,Sox1,Sox2 and Ki67.TUNEL assay results showed that the number of TUNEL-positive cells in neu-ral stem cells derived from AD patients was significantly higher than that of cognitive normal controls (P<0.01). When neural stem cells were differentiated into neurons, the percentage of MAP2 positive cells in the neural stem cell-derived culture dish of AD patients was significantly higher than the cogni-tive normal controls at day 16 of neuronal differentiation (P<0.01); the TUNEL assay showed that the number of TUNEL-positive cells in AD-derived neurons was significantly greater than that in cognitive normal controls (P<0.01) at day 16 of neuronal differentiation. CONCLUSION Our study revealed that AD-iPSC-derived neural stem cells exhibit premature neuronal differentiation and increased neural apoptosis,which might be relevant to the neuronal loss of AD,thus may provide valuable new tools to screen candidate drugs for the disease and to discover the mechanisms underlying AD pathogenesis.

OBJECTIVE To explore the effect and mechanisms of LW-AFC,a new formula derived from Liuwei Dihuang decoction,on chronic unpredictable mild stress(CUMS)-induced mood and cogni-tion impairment in mice. METHODS C57BL/6J mice were randomly placed into seven groups (n=10):normal control group,CUMS group,Fluoxetine(10 mg·kg-1,once per day)group,Liuwei Dihuang de-coction group(LW,10 g·kg-1,once per day),and LW-AFC(0.8 g·kg-1,1.6 g·kg-1,3.2 g·kg-1,once per day) group. The stressed group was given CUMS for 4 weeks to set up a chronic multiple-stressed model.LW and LW-AFC was oral administered a week prior to CUMS and until the end of the study(a total of 35 d),while fluoxetine was administrated orally for 4 weeks.The anxiety behavior was analyzed using the open field test(OFT)and elevated plus maze test(EPM).The depression behavior was ana-lyzed using the sucrose preference test (SPT) and forced swimming test (FST). Spatial cognition was evaluated using Morris water maze (MWM) test and working memory was evaluated using new object recognition test(NORT). RESULTS CUMS for 28 d increased depressive-and anxiety-like behaviors. LW-AFC (1.6 g·kg-1) significantly increased the numbers of entries into the open arm and time in the open arm of CUMS mice (P<0.05). LW-AFC (3.2 g·kg-1) increased sucrose consumption and de-creased the immobility time of FST (P<0.01) of CUMS mice. The MWM test showed that spatial learning andmemory in CUMS mice were remarkably affected relative to controls,whereas LW-AFC(3.2 g·kg-1)im-proves cognitive functions(P<0.05).CONCLUSION The mood and theability of learning and memory of thestressed group can be affected after exposure to CUS.Oral administration of LW-AFC significant-ly improved CUMS-induced impairments of mood and cognition in mice.

Bacillus subtilis B6-1 was used as an original strain for mutagenic treatment and a defined medium was used as the selective medium. A mutant named B. subtilis W003 was isolated after three serial ultraviolet (UV) irradiations and one diethyl sulfate (DES) treatment. The ?-PGA yield on a rotary shaker was enhanced from 10.9 g/L in parental strain to 20.5 g/L in the mutant. It was illustrated by single factor experiments that the optimal carbon and nitrogen sources were glucose and (NH4)2SO4 respectively. The optimal fermentation medium was achieved by orthogonal test. In the optimal medium, a ?-PGA yield of 45.3 g/L was obtained after 36 h cultivation.

Objective To detect the synergetic effect and mechanism of arsenic trioxide(As2O3)and Trichostatin A(TSA)during inducing apoptosis of HL-60 cells.Methods MTT method was used to test the proliferation of HL-60 cells.Cell cycle and apoptosis were detected by FCM.Semi-quantitative RT-PCR was used to detect the mRNA expression of Bax and Bcl-2 in the cells treated by As2O3 and(or)TSA.Results As2O3 combined with TSA could inhibit proliferation and induce cell cycle arrest at G0 and G1.The percent of apoptosis induced by combination of As2O3 and TSA was obviously higher than that of either As2O3 or TSA.Bax gene expression was increased,while Bcl-2 gene expression was decreased,Bax/Bel-2 ratio was up-regulated.Conclusion Synergetic effect by As2O3 and TSA is remarkable in inducing apoptosis of HL-60 cells.Cell cycte arrest and Bax/Bcl-2 ratio play an important role in apoptosis of HL-60 cells induced by As2O3,TSA or their combination.
