Purpose To screen and identify T cell lymphoma invasion and metastasis 1 (Tiam1) related genes and expression profile during distant metastasis of colorectal cancer. Methods Colorectal cancer( CRC) in a mice model was established by intraperitoneal injection of dimethylhydrazine ( DMH) . Five panels of fresh primary tumor tissues from Tiam1 transgenic mice were collected and com-pared with that from wild type mice. Differentially expressed genes were detected by Affymetrix human genome-wide expression profile chip and verified by real-time quantitative PCR ( qRT-PCR) analysis. Results The genechip result showed that 794 genes were differ-entially expressed by at least 3 folds in Tiam1 transgenic mice with distant metastasis of colorectal cancer tissue, including 400 up-regu-lated and 394 down-regulated ones. Bioinformatics analysis and gene co-expression network building identified 3 genes (PIK3R5, FIGF and RPS6KA6) with specific expression in colorectal cancer tissue with distant metastasis, and this result was confirmed by qRT-PCR. Conclusion A specific Tiam1 gene expression profile related to colorectal cancer distant metastasis has been established through screening and identifying the genes related to Tiam1 by gene chip technique. These findings provide a basis for exploring the molecular markers of colorectal cancer with distant metastasis.

Objective To explore the effect of Tiam1 overexpression on the biological behaviors of human colorectal cancer cells ( CRC ) . Methods The human CRC lines under the established stable overexpression of Tiam1 were studied. Cell morphology was detected before and after transfection by commassie blue staining and scanning electron microscope. The proliferation in vitro of CRC was tested by cell cycle, MTT and plate colony formation assay, the migration and invasion ability of CRC was tested by Transwell assay. The proliferation ability in vivo was studied by induced subcutaneous tumors of nude mice. Results Compared with HT29/mock cells, HT29/Tiam1 cells formed as spindle, the pseudopodia increased and elongated. The proportion in S phase of HT29/Tiam1 was higher (t=19.546, P=0.000), the proliferation ability enhanced (F=177.125, P=0.000), colonies formation ratio increased ( t = 3 . 222 , P = 0 . 032 ) . The number of HT29/Tiam1 cells acrossing the microporous membrane (t = 4.832, P=0.001)and Matrigel(t=3.779, P = 0.005)all raised. On the fifteenth day, the growth deference between the HT29/Tiam1cells and HT29/mock cells in nude mice in vivo occurred. Till the thirtieth day, the size of the tumors in HT29/Tiam1 cell group were 2.3 times as large as that in HT29/mock cell group (F=53.040, P=0.002). Conclusions Tiam1 stable overexpression can promote the proliferation, migration and invasion ability of CRC which indicates its important role in carcinogenesis and evolution of colorectal cancer. Tiam1 may represent a new therapeutic target for colorectal cancer.

OBJECTIVETo compare the difference of Euphorbia Pekinensis Radix before and after being processed with vinegar in the toxicity on rat small intestinal crypt epithelial cells IEC-6, and make a preliminary study on the mechanism of detoxication of Euphorbia Pekinensis Radix processed with vinegar.
METHODWith rat small intestinal crypt epithelial cells IEC-6 as the study object, the MTT method was adopted to detect the effect of Euphorbia Pekinensis Radix before and after being processed with vinegar on IEC-6 cell activity. The morphology of cells were observed by the inverted microscope. The down-regulated mitochondrial apoptosis pathway of enterocytes caused by the vinegar processing was analyzed by using the high content screening.
RESULTCompared with the negative control group, the proliferation inhibition experiment showed that Euphorbia Pekinensis Radix showed a relatively high intestinal cell toxicity (P < 0.01). The results of HCS analysis showed that Euphorbia Pekinensis Radix could significantly reduce the cell nucleus Hoechst fluorescence intensity and mitochondria membrane (P < 0.05, P < 0.01), and increase Annexin V-FITC and PI fluorescence intensity and membrane permeability (P < 0.01, P < 0.01, P < 0.01). After being processed with vinegar, compared with Euphorbia Pekinensis Radix groups with different doses, Euphorbia Pekinensis Radix processed with vinegar could significantly decrease the cell proliferation inhibition effect on enterocytes, increase the cell nuclear Hoechst fluorescence intensity and mitochondria membrane (P < 0.05, P < 0.05), and decrease Annexin V-FITC and PI fluorescence intensity and membrane permeability (P < 0.01, P < 0.01, P < 0.05), and showed a certain dose-effect relationship.
CONCLUSIONThe vinegar processing can further reduce the toxicity of Euphorbia Pekinensis Radix on enterocytes. Its possible mechanism can decrease the effect of Euphorbia Pekinensis Radix on the permeability of IEC-6 cell membrane, so as to provide a basis for further explanation of the detoxication mechanism of Euphorbia Pekinensis Radix processed with vinegar.

Objective To evaluate the effect of YunKe on bone metabolism of patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Methods A total of 108 RA patients were divided into YunKe group (n = 72), non-YunKe group (n = 36), and 54 controls. The bone mineral densities (BMDs) of the wrists, hips and lumbar spines were measured by dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry. Moreover , the expression of cross-linked N-telopeptides of type I collagen (NTX) in the serum was detected for statistically analyzing the difference between YunKe group and non-YunKe group. Results In RA group, the BMDs of wrist, hip and lumbar spine declined compared with that of control group (P < 0.001, respectively). In YunKe group, the BMDs of wrist, hip and lumbar spine after 6 months all were improved with statistically significance (P < 0.01, respectively); The differences also were statistically significant when compared with those in non-YunKe group (P < 0.01, respectively). In YunKe group, NTX level in the serum declined after 3 months of the treatment. The difference was statistically significant when compared with that in non-YunKe group (P < 0.001), but the difference disappeared 6 months later. Conclusions The BMD of wrist joints is low and declines in RA patients significantly. The treatment withYunKe improves the BMDs of the wrist , hip and lumbar spine and decreases the serum NTX. This study proposed that YunKe could inhibit the chronic loss of bone mass induced by RA.

Objective To investigate the effects of Qinma Formula on endogenous anti-inflammatory system in rats with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD); To discuss its mechanism of action. Methods Rat models of COPD were made by modified smoked lipopolysaccharide method. 70 healthy SPF male Wistar rats were randomly divided into normal group, model group, Western medicine control group (aminophylline group), TCM medicine control group (Liujunzi Decoction group) and Qinma Formula high-, medium-, and low-dose groups, with 10 rats in each group. Each medication group was given relevant medicine for gavage. The pathological changes of lung tissue were observed under light microscope; the alveolar lavage fluid (BALF) and venous blood were collected and the related indexes were tested; the levels of serum IL-1β, IL-6 and IL-10 were detected by ELISA. Results Compared with normal group, BALF white blood cells, neutrophils, macrophages, lymphocyte, hemoglobin and platelet count in rats of model group increased significantly (P<0.05). Compared with the model group, BALF white blood cells, neutrophils, and macrophages in rats of Qinma medium- and high-dose groups and Liujunzi Decoction group decreased significantly (P<0.05); white blood cells, hemoglobin, and platelet count in rats of Qinma medium-, high-dose groups and aminophylline group decreased significantly (P<0.05); levels of IL-1β and IL-6 in serum decreased significantly (P<0.05); level of IL-10 in serum increased significantly (P<0.05). Conclusion Qinma Formula can effectively inhibit the inflammatory response through the regulation of inflammatory response-related cytokines.

A PCR method was used to amplify the sequence encoding the mature peptide of?-mannanase of Bacillus subtilis. The gene was inserted into the Pichia pastoris vector pPIC9K, downstream of?-factor signal peptide sequence. The resultant recombinant plasmid pPIC9K-MAN was lineared by BglII digestion and introduced into the host Pichia pastoris GS115 by PEG method. After screen, the recombinant P. pastoris strain MAN22 was obtained and fermented in large scale 5L fermenter. The recombinant mannanase activity could reach to 1102IU/ml. The properties of the recombinant mannanase were characterized.
