Objective:To study the effect and underlying mechanism of rosmarinic acid in the apoptosis of HepG2 cells. Meth-ods:An MTT method was used to determine the inhibitory effect on the growth of HepG2 cells treated with rosmarinic acid for 48 hours. Flow cytometry was used to detect the cell apoptosis after treated with rosmarinic acid at different concentrations for 24 h and 48 h. Western Blotting was used to detect the expression of P53 and c-Myc protein after treated with rosmarinic acid for 48 h. Results:When HepG2 cells were treated with rosmarinic acid at the concentrations of 12. 50, 25. 00, 50. 00 and 100. 00 μg·ml-1 for 48 h, the cell growth was inhibited and the half-inhibitory concentration (IC50) was 43. 48μg·ml-1. By comparing HepG2 cells treated with rosma-rinic acid at different concentrations for 24 h and 48 h, rosmarinic acid had the effect on the early apoptosis of HepG2 cells after the 48-hour treatment. When treated with rosmarinic acid at the different concentrations for 48 h, the expression of c-Myc decreased with the concentration increase of rosmarinic acid, and the expression of P53 increased with the concentration increase of rosmarinic acid. Con-clusion:The inhibitory effect of rosmarinic acid on the proliferation of HepG2 cells is in a dose-dependent manner, and it can promote the apoptosis of HepG2 cells through the activation of P53 and the cleavage of proto-oncogene c-Myc protein.

The etiological agent of severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) was identified as a new coronavirus, termed SARS-CoV. Establishment of an efficient and sensitive diagnostic system of SARS-CoV genetic materials is crucial for SARS control. In this study, we quantified SARS-CoV mRNAs in both infected cell culture lysate and in supernatant by using Real-time quantitative revere transcription-PCR based on EvaGreen鈩?dye and Taqman-MGB probes. For extensive evaluation of sensitivities and specificities, 13 pairs of primers and 4 probes were designed based on different genes of SARS-CoV. Glyceraldehydes-3-phosphate dehydrogenase (GAPDH) was selected as the internal control gene. Results showed that S-gene-specific PCR was the most sensitive for detection, but because of its sequence variability in the different viral strains, primers and a probe based on the N gene were suitable substitutions. Meanwhile, we found the mRNA concentrations in cell culture lysates were much higher than in cell supernatant and facilited more sensitive detection of the SARS-CoV.

AIM: To investigate the injuring effect of DMSO-soluble particles from cigarette smoke(DSP) on human umbilical vein endothelial cells. METHODS: Human umbilical vein endothelial cell line EA. hy 926 was used as target cells in the study. The growth and viability of the cells treated with various dosages (1, 2, 4 or 4 mL/L) of DSP and low dose (2 mL/L) of DSP at different time points were evaluated by MTT colorimetric assay and celllular protein assay in 96-well plates. Transmission electron microscopy study was carried out to observe the ultrastructure of human umbilical vein endothelial cells under DSP treatment.RESULTS: DSP inhibited the proliferation of human umbilical vein endothelial cell line EA. hy 926. Under DSP treatment, the reducing cellular protein and increasing cell death(mainly necrosis) were observed in time-dependent and dosage-dependent manners.CONCLUSIONS: These results indicated that the toxic effect of DSP caused functional disturbance and structural damage of human endothelial cells.
