Objective Through constructing prokaryotic expression vector pET-30a-GPI-B7-1, to gain purified GPI-B7-1 fusion protein so as to confirm the tumor immune effect. Methods The DNA fragment encoding the signal for GPI-anchor attachment of hPLAP-1 and the cDNA encoding the human costimulatory molecule CD80 ( BT-1 ) were cloned from fresh placenta and human peripheral blood monocytes (PBMC) respectively. The two fragment were annealed to form a fusion gene (GPI-BT-1) by PCR. Then the fusion gene was inserted into the prokaryotic expression vector pET-30a, resulting in pET-30a-GPI-BT-1. Transfer to E. coli BL21, purified fusion protein were analysed by SDS-PAGE and Western blot. Results Agarose gel electrophoresis map of GPI and BT-1 PCR products show that GPI goal gene strap was seen at 133bp region and BT-1 goal gene strap at 792 region. Identification of recombinant pET-30a-GPI-B7-1 by restriction enzyme and PCR illustrate two goal fragment for 5000 bp and 900 bp, to realize the expression of fusion gene ( GPI-B7-1 ) at the E. coli BL21. The fusion protein was successfully produced in the pET expression system induced by IPTG and purified by Ni2 + -NTA agarose column. By SDS-PAGE and Western blot analysis, the observed molecular weight of the fusion protein was 38 kDa. Conclusion The purified GPI-B7-1 fusion protein can be obtained from E. coli BL21 transfered by prokaryotic expression vector pET-30a-GPI-B7-1, which will prove useful tool for the study of tumor immune therapy.

Leigh syndrome (French-Canadian type, LSFC) is a rare autosomal recessive hereditary severe neurological disorder that begins in infancy. Herein we report a case with LSFC in China. The patient was 8 months old, male, whose clinical manifestations included delayed development, low muscle tone, unstable vertical head, inability to sit alone, cognitive impairment, slightly smaller forehead, oblique eyes, epilepsy, etc. Gene sequencing results showed that the LRPPRC gene in the infant had complex heterozygous mutations of c.2989G>A (newly reported) and c.4078G>A. Combined with the clinical manifestations, gene mutations and literatures, the infant was diagnosed as LSFC, and symptomatic rehabilitation was performed. The results of genetic testing can contribute to the early diagnosis and genetic counseling of LSFC patients, and help reduce the burden on the patients and their families.

Objective Preliminarily discussing the effects of VEGF and SOX2 on metastasis and progno-sis of squamous cell lung carcinoma(SCLC).Methods Using immunohistochemical method to detect 47 cases of pulmonary squamous cell carcinoma and 30 cases of para-carcinoma tissue in the expression of VEGF and SOX2, using statistical methods to analyze the expression of VEGF and SOX2 and the relationship between clinical parame-ters and its relationship with prognosis. Results The positive expression rates of VEGF,SOX2 in SCLC tissues were higher than adjacent normal tissues.There was a significant correlation between VEGF and SOX2 expression. VEGF expression was associated with lymph node metastases and TNM stage.SOX2 expression was associated with tumor differentiation and lymph node status.Survival analysis indicated that VEGF(+)/SOX2(+)patients had the worst prognosis.Furthermore,multivariate analysis suggested that tumor diameter and lymph node metastases were independent prognostic factors for SCLC. Conclusion The expression of VEGF was positively correlated with lymph node metastasis and clinical stage,the expression of SOX2 was positively correlated with tumor differentia-tion degree and lymph node metastasis,and high expression of VEGF and SOX2 may indicate lung squamous can-cer patients with poor prognosis.
