Objective To study the radiosensitization of histone deaeetylases inhibitor(HDACI) panobinistat in prostate cancer cells in vitro,as well as the possible mechanisms.Methods IC20 of two prostate cancer cell lines(LNCaP and PC-3)was determined using MTI assay.Cells received a single dose irradiation of 0,2,4,6,or 8 Gy using 6 MV X-ray for radiosensitivity experiment,but only 2 Gy for western blot and flow cytometry.Radiosensitization of panobinostat was investigated with clonogenic assay,and sensitizing enhancement ratio(SER)was calculated with single-hit multi-target model.Western blot was used to compare γH2AX expression.Flowcytomctry was used to detect the cell cycle distribution.Results IC20 of LNCaP and PC-3 was 2.5 and 10.0 μmol/L,respectively.SER of panobinostat at IC20 was 1.37(D0 ratio)and 1.11(Dq ratio)for LNCaP cells,and 1.78(D0 ratio)and 1.17(Dq ratio)for PC-3 cells.Expression of γH2AX gradually decreased in the 2 Gy irradiation-alone cells standing for the DSB repair,while γH2AX expression was persistent in the combination group.Irradiation triggered a G2/M arrest 6-12 hours after irradiation in LNCaP and PC-3 cells.G2/M arrest was observed when cells were treated with panobinostat for 24 hours,however,no significant change concerning cell cycle distribution was showed when cells received further irradiation.Conclusions Panobinostat Call radiosensitize prostate cancer cells,which may be related with increased DNA DSB,inhibition of DSB repair and attenuation of cell cycle modulation after irradiation.

Objec0tive To investigate the molecular mechanism of the mal-production of IgA and IgA1 by tonsillar mononuclear cells (TMCs) in IgA nephropathy (IgAN) patients by measuring the mRNA expression of Iα-Cα germline transcript and the mRNA and protein expression of activated induced cytidine deaminase (AID) in cultured TMCs stimulated with lipopolysaccharide (LPS) or hemolytic streptococcus (HS) in IgAN patients as well as the chronic tonsilitis patients. Methods Twent-seven IgAN patients admitted into our hospital from Jan.2009 to Feb.2010 were enrolled.Twent-seven patients with chronic tonsillitis without renal disease were selected as control.Tonsillar mononuclear cells were isolated by density gradient centrifugation in lymphocyte separation medium.The amount of IgA or IgA1 secreted in the culture supernatants was determined by specific enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA).Expressions of Iα-Cα germline transcript and AID mRNA were examined by real-time PCR.The AID protein was determined by Western blot. Results The production of IgA and IgA1 protein,especially the ratio of IgA1/IgA and the expression of AID protein in TMCs were significantly increased in IgAN group compared with chronic tonsillitis group (all P＜0.05).The IgA and IgA1 level of stimulated TMCs were obviously increased in patients with IgAN compared with control group (P＜0.05).And the expressions of Iα-Cα mRNA,AID mRNA and AID protein were up-regulated significantly in stimulated TMCs (all P＜0.05). Conclusions Both LPS and HS can induce the production of IgA and IgA1 and up-regulate the expressions of AID and Iα-Cα in TMCs of IgAN patients.Our results indicate that the TMCs are capable of producing high level of IgA and IgA1 stimulated by LPS or HS,whuch may be due to the　 incression of AID and Iα-Cα.

Objective To investigate the effect of abnormal lipid metabolism in the pathogenesis of preeclampsia.Methods Thirty women with severe preeclampsia who delivered by cesarean section in the International Peace Maternity & Child Health Hospital from November 1,2011 to June 30,2012,were included as the study group.Thirty normal pregnant women delivered during the same period by cesarean section were included as the control group.The mRNA levels of lipoprotein lipase (LPL) and endothelial lipase (EL) in the placentas were quantified by real-time polymerase chain reaction.The expression of LPL/EL protein was detected by Western-blot assay and the distribution on the placenta was determined by immunohistochemical staining.The maternal serum level of lipid markers was detected by automatic biochemical analyzer.Difference between the two groups was compared with t-test or rank-sum test.Results (1) The triglyceride (TG) concentration [(3.35±0.80) mmol/L vs (2.75± 0.92) mmol/L,t =3.082,P=0.003] and atherosclerosis index (AI) (2.76±0.46 vs 2.47±0.34,t=3.066,P=0.003) increased in the study group compared with the control group,while the concentration of high-density lipoprotein-cholestrol (HDL-c) decreased[(1.64 ± 0.34) mmol/L vs (1.85 ± 0.22) mmol/L,t=-3.157,P =0.003].(2) The median level of LPL mRNA expression in placenta of the study group was higher than that of the control [1.26 (0.46-1.58) vs 0.52 (0.34-0.84),Z=-2.587,P=0.010],whereas the expression of EL mRNA was lower [0.65 (0.48-0.76) vs 1.32 (0.94-1.62),Z=-4.154,P=0.000].(3) Immunohistochemical analysis showed that the placenta EL and LPL located in cytoplasm of syncytiotrophoblast cells at the materno-placental interface and of endothelial cells at the feto-placental interface.(4) Compared with the control group,the median level of LPL protein expression in placenta inthe study group increased [0.68(0.46-0.83) vs 0.31(0.15-0.55),Z=3.335,P=0.001],and the expression of EL protein decreased [0.13 (0.11 0.16) vs 0.70(0.56 0.81),Z=-5.711,P=0.000].The expression of LPL protein was negatively correlated with that of EL protein (r=-0.501,P=0.000).Conclusions Abnormal lipid metabolism contributes to the pathogenesis of severe preeclampsia.

ObjectiveTo investigate the selective mechanism of dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA)for osteoblast via ERβ. Methods High expression of ERβ in hMG63-ERβ group ( infected with pWPTERβ), gene silencing of ERβ in hMG63-shERβ group (infected with pLVTHM-GFP/ERβ-shRNA) and hMG,63 group (control) were cultured and treated with 1 × 10-7 mol/L DHEA, with or without U0126 and etoposide. The proliferation and apoptosis of hMG63 were evaluated by flow cytometry. The mRNA level of estrogen receptor subtype was detected by reverse transcription-PCR. ResultsThe expression of ERβ in hMG63-ERβ group and hMG63-shERβ group were increased 7. 39 times and decreased 17％ compared with that in hMG63 group (control). DHEA could increase ERβ expression in hMG63 in each group, however, it did not influence the expression of ERα mRNA. When the level of ERβ was high, DHEA could accelerate the proliferation [proliferation index were ( 81.6 ± 7.6) ％ in hMG,63-ERβ, ( 75.0 ± 5.3 ) ％ in hMG63, P ＜ 0. 05]and inhibit the apoptosis [apoptosis rate were ( 12.2 ± 1.6) ％ in hMG63-ERβ, ( 14. 6 ± 1.5 ) ％in hMG63, P ＜0. 0 1], which was blocked by U0126 [proliferation index were (33. 2 ± 2. 0)％ in hMG63-ERβ, (41.2 ± 2. 4) ％ in hMG63, apoptosis rate were (40. 5 ± 4. 3 ) ％ in hMG63-ERβ, (43.3 ± 4. 1 ) ％in hMG63, all P ＜0. 05]. When the expression of ERβ was silenced, DHEA could not inhibit the apoptosis of hMG63 anymore. ConclusionDHEA selectively act on osteoblasts via the dominant expression of ERβ.

Objective To re-evaluate the prognostic value of the 6th edition of UICC/AJCC staging system in patients with nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) treated with intensity-medulated radiation therapy (IMRT). Methods From February 2001 to March 2007, Clinical data of 570 NPC patients initially treated with IMRT in Cancer Center of Sun yat-sen University were reviewed and the long-term survival was analyzed according to T, N and overall stages. Results The median follow-up was 42 months. 184 patients were followed up to 5 years. The 5-year local recurrence-free survival (LRFS), distant metastasis-free survival (DMFS) and overall survival (OS) of the whole group were 93. 0%, 85.4% and 83. 3% ,respectively. No statistically significant difference of LRFS was detected between the either two of stage T_1, T_(2a) and T_(2b)(100%, 100% and 94. 5% ;T_1 vs. T_(2b), χ~2 = 1.92, P =0. 166 ;T_(2a) vs. T_(2b), χ~2= 0. 35, P =0. 555), stage T_(2b) and T_3 (94. 5% and 91.3% ;χ~2 = 2. 62, P = 0. 106), or stage T_3 and T_4 (91.3% and 89. 5% ; χ~2 = 1.55, P =0. 214). The 5-year DMFS of stage N_2 was similar with stage N_1 or stage N_3(80. 2%, 86. 2% and 61. 4% ; N_2 vs. N_1, χ~2=2.22, P=0.136;N_2 vs. N_3, χ~2= 1.92, P=0.165). No statistically significant difference of 5-year OS was observed among stage Ⅰ , Ⅱ_a and Ⅱ_b(91.7%, 100% and 95. 3% ; Ⅰ vs. Ⅱ_b χ~2 =0.32, P=0.574;Ⅱ_a vs. Ⅱ_b,χ~2-0.25, P=0.617), or between Ⅳ. And Ⅳ_b(67.9% and 75. 0% ;χ~2 = 0.25, P = 0. 616). Conclusions The 6th edition of UICC/AJCC staging system shows poor predictive value for the long-term survival of NPC patients treated with IMRT.
