Objective To screen microRNA (miRNA) that inhibit expression of the metastasisrelated gene ezrin in ovarian cancer cells and explore their correlation to the invasion and metastasis of ovarian cancer. Methods The differential expression of ezrin in two paired high-metastatic and lowmetastatic cell lines were examined by real time reverse transcription (RT)-PCR and western blot. A functional screen with microarray was employed to identify miRNA that were differentially expressed between SKOV3 and SKOV3ip cell lines. Three programs, TARGETSCAN ( http://www. targetscan. org ),MICROCOSM ( http ://www. ebi. ac. uk/enright-srv/microcosm/htdocs/targets/v5/) and PICTAR (http://www. pictar. mdc-berlin. de), were employed to identify all miRNA, which may inhibit the expression of ezrin and were differentially expressed between SKOV3 and SKOV3ip cells. To test the repressive potential of these miRNA, synthetic mimetics were transfected individually into SKOV3ip cells and endogenous ezrin expression levels monitored by western blot and real-time RT-PCR. Results ( 1 ) The mRNA average level of ezrin were (81.74 ± 5.34) -fold higher expression level in SKOV3ip versus SKOV3 cells ( P < 0. 01 ), while (2. 61 ±0. 14)-fold in HO-8910PM versus HO-8910 cells (P <0. 01 ). Elevated protein level of ezrin were observed in SKOV3ip cells compared with that in SKOV3 cells, and the same that in HO-8910PM cells compared with HO-8910 cells. Paired SKOV3 and SKOV3ip cells were employed to study the more significant difference in ezrin expression between them. (2) By a functional screen using miRNA microarray combined with bioinformatics analysis,the miR-183 and miR-22 were indentified as two candidate miRNA,which may have the potential regulatory role in ezrin expression. Real time RT-PCR assays revealed that miR-183 and miR-22 were, respectively, an average of (5.84 ± 0.66)-fold and(6.67 ± 0.67)-fold higher expression level in SKOV3ip versus SKOV3 cells (P <0. 01 ), which were in agreement with the microarray data. A subsequent validation by western blot and real time RT-PCR revealed that over-expression of miR-183 and miR-22 could both lead to an obvious decrease in ezrin protein level,while there were not signicant difference in the level of ezrin mRNA( P >0. 05 ). Conclusion Increased expression of miR-183 and miR-22 may both repress the protein level of ezrin,indicating that miR-183 and miR-22 may bear a potential role in inhibiting ovarian cancer metastasis in a ezrin-mediated way.

OBJECTIVE:To explore the clinical features and regularity of drug-induced liver injury (DILI),and to provide reference for clinical rational drug use. METHODS:104 DILI cases in our hospital from 2005 to 2014 were selected and analyzed retrospectively in respects of patient’s gender,age,allergic history,medication history,drug type and clinical manifestations. RE-SULTS:DILI hospitalized cases increased year by year. There were 47 males and 57 females,and average age was(8.71±13.90). The clinical symptoms appeared within 12 weeks after using the drug. The symptoms were no specific,including weak,anorexia, jaundice,yellow urine,etc. and 10.57% of patients were asymptomatic. Most of the DILI cases were hepatocyte type(80.77%), followed by cholestasis type(12.50%)and hybrid type(6.73%). The most common cause of drug-induced liver injury were TCM, antimicrobial drugs and the nervous system drugs. CONCLUSIONS:The incidence of DILI in females is slightly higher than males. DILI often occurs after 40 years old. The clinical symptoms have no specificity and are similar to viral hepatitis. The hepatic lesions can be caused by most of drugs. DILI by TCM should concerned. Clinical physicians should pay more attention to DILI.

Objective To study the mechanism of chemotherapy resistance caused by interleukin-6 (IL-6) in ovarian cancer cells and its related signal pathways. Methods Ovarian cancer cell lines A2780(IL-6 receptor positive, while non-IL-6-expressing and cisplatin/paclitaxel-responsive) and SKOV3 cell lines( overexpressing of IL-6 receptor and IL-6 and cisplatin/paclitaxel-resistant) were suitable models for this study. The effect of exogenous (a short period of treatment with recombination IL-6) and endogenous IL-6(by transfecting with plasmid encoding for sense IL-6 ) in A2780 cells or deleting of endogenous IL-6expression in SKOV3 cells (by transfecting with plasmid encoding for antisense IL-6) on the sensitivity to cisplatin and paclitaxel was investigated. Meanwhile, the mechanism of chemotherapy resistance caused by IL-6 in ovarian cancer cells and its related signal pathways were also analyzed. Results We found that both exogenous and endogenous IL-6 induce cisplatin and paclitaxel resistance in non-IL-6-expressing A2780 cells (the resistance multiple to cisplatin and paclitaxel was: exogenous, 6. 25 and 7.31; endogenous, 7. 13 -8. 34 and 7. 61 - 10. 70), while deleting of endogenous IL-6 expression in IL-6-overexpressing SKOV3 cells promotes its sensitivity to anticancer drugs ( the resistance multiple to cisplatin and paclitaxel was 0. 15 and 0. 10, 0. 10 and 0. 08). IL-6 significantly up-regulated the expression levels of mRNA and protein of drug resistance-associated genes, MDR1 and GST-π, and apoptosis-inhibiting genes, bcl-2, bcl-xL and XIAP in a dose-dependent manner in A2780 cells. In accordance with this finding, the mRNA and protein levels of MDR1 and GST-π enhanced in sense IL-6-transfected A2780 cells, and reduced in antisense IL-6-transfected SKOV3 cells compared with the corresponding parental and control vector-transfected cells, which had no difference. It was found that PD98059 [ mitogen-activated protein kinase-extracellular signalregulated kinase (MEK) inhibitor ] and wortmannin [ phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K) inhibitor ]significantly antagonized IL-6-induced phosphorylation of extracellular signal-regulated kinase ( ERK ) and protein kinase B (Akt), respectively, and both of them blocked IL-6-induced cisplatin and paclitaxel resistance and the inhibitory effects of PD98059 and wortmannin were dependent on its concentration.Conclusions These data suggest that IL-6-induced chemoresistance may be associated with increase of both drug resistance-associated genes ( MDR1 and GST-π) and apoptosis-inhibiting genes ( bcl-2, bcl-xL and XIAP), and activation of MEK/ERK and PL3K/Akt. Therefore, modulation of IL-6 expression or its related signaling pathway may be a promising strategy of treatment for drug-resistant ovarian cancer.
