Objective Deleting the cysteine-rich region (22-37 amino acids)of HIV-1 HXB2 Tat protein(whole length is 101 amino acids) to improve its stability and expression level in E.coli and to analyze the immunogenicity of Tat protein without the cystein-rich region [Tat(△C)protein]. Methods Tat DNA deleted the cysteine-rich region (64-111 nucleotides), named as Tat(△C)DNA, was obtained in vitro by PCR and cloned into pET-32a vector. pET-32a-Tat(△C)plasmid and the pET-32a-Tat plasmid were established and transformed into E.coli BL21(DE3) strains respectively to express and purify the protein. Three rabbits were vaccinated with pET-32a-Tat(△C)protein, then testify the reactivity of sera from rabbits by ELISA and Western blot. Results The dense of the purified pET-32a-Tat(△C)protein was 7.12 mg/ml,which was greatly more than pET-32a-Tat protein(1.50 mg/ml). Dimer of pET-32a-Tat protein can be observed just after the protein purification and stored at 25℃ and 4℃ for 7 days, but dimer of pET-32a-Tat(△C)protein was not formed at the same condition. Experimental rabbits were immunized with pET-32a-Tat(△C)protein and produced high titre of anti-pET-32a-Tat(△C)serum(1∶320 000), the antibody can react specifically with Tat(△C)protein, Tat protein (1-101 AA)and synthetic Tat(1-86 AA) protein. Deletion mutation of the cysteine-rich region of Tat protein was first performed in the study. Conclusion The expression level in E.coli and the stability of Tat protein deleted the cysteine-rich region can be increased greatly, and the protein remains good immunogenicity. The results may provide a novel antigen for further development of HIV-1 Tat vaccine.

OBJECTIVE: To explore the relation between diabetes mellitus and clinicopathological factors and the incidence of radiation pneumonitis in patients with non-small cell lung cancer. METHODS: The data of 332 patients with non-small cell lung cancer, who were admitted to the Department of Oncology of Third Xiangya Hospital of Central South University between January 2007 and August 2009, were collected retrospectively. The patients were divided into a diabetes mellitus (DM) group (n=45) and a non-diabetes mellitus (NDM) group (n=287). The clinicopathological factors were compared between the two groups. The patients who received radiotherapy were further divided into a diabetes mellitus (DMR) group (n=33) and a non-diabetes mellitus group (NDMR) group(n=287), and the incidence of radiation pneumonitis was compared. RESULTS: A total of 45 patients (13.55%)developed diabetes mellitus. There was significant difference in the body-weight, age and hypertension (P<0.05), while no significant difference in the pathologic factors, such as tumor pathological type, degree of differentiation, and classification of malignant tumors (TNM) stage between the two groups(P>0.05). No significant difference in the irradiation area was found between the DM group and the NDM group(P>0.05). The incidence of radiation pneumonitis in the DMR group was 42.42%(14 out of 33), while 21.31%(39 out of 183) in the NDMR group, with significant difference in the incidence of radiation pneumonitis between the DMR group and the NDMR group(P<0.05). The risk value in the DMR group was 2.721 folds (95%CI, 1.253-5.910) that in the NDMR group in patients with non-small cell lung cancer companied with diabetes mellitus. CONCLUSION Diabetes mellitus is the risk factor of radiation pneumonitis for patients with nonsmall cell lung cancer who receive radiotherapy.
