Background and purpose:PARP-1 is closely related to malignant tumors. This study aimed to ex-plore the clinical significance of serum level of PARP-1 protein in onset and progression of gastric cancer.Methods:The serum samples from 145 patients with gastric cancer and 112 healthy check-up cases were collected. The serumHP spec-ificity IgA and PARP-1 protein levels were detected using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay method. The correlation of serum PARP-1 protein levels with clinical characteristics of gastric cancer was analyzed.Results:Compared with healthy people, serum PARP-1 protein levels were significantly higher in gastric cancer patients [(407±139) pg/mLvs(258±120) pg/mL,P=0.014). Serum PARP-1 protein levels were significantly higher inHp(+) gastric cancer patients than those in patients withHp (-) (P<0.001). Serum PARP-1 protein levels were positively correlated with family gastric cancer history (P=0.033) and alcohol intake history (P=0.015) in gastric cancer patients. Compared with serum protein PARP-1 negative patients, PARP-1 protein positive patients had a significantly shorter cancer-free survival (P=0.011). However serum PARP-1 protein level was not found to be an independent risk factor for the overall survival of gastric cancer patients using multivariate COX regression.Conclusion:High expression of serum PARP-1 protein may be involved in the pathogenesis and progression of gastric cancer. Inhibition of PARP-1 may be potential new target for the treatment of gastric cancer.

Objective:To obtain the high-efficiency expression of the biological active rabies virus nucleoprotein in the prokaryotic expression system.Methods:This experiment uses codon optimization technology to re-encode the nucleoprotein gene of rabies virus CTN-1 strain, artificially synthesize the full-length gene and clone it into pET-43.1a prokaryotic expression vector, induced expression in BL21 (DE3) strain of Escherichia coli( E. coli), and used Western blot to detect its reactogenicity. Results:The results showed that after induction, SDS-PAGE electrophoresis analysis showed that an obvious expression band appeared at a molecular weight of 50×10 3, which was consistent with the expected protein band size. Among them, the E. coli concentration A600 is about 0.5, and the expression yield is the highest (about 32.3%) when induced at 37℃ for 5 h. Nucleoprotein expression product is mainly inclusion body when it is expressed in large quantities. After purification by Ni 2+ chelating chromatography, the purity of the target protein can reach over 95%. The purified product was identified by Western blot and positively reacted with the sera of mice immunized with rabies vaccine, indicating that the prokaryotic expression of the CTN-1 strain nucleoprotein has biological activity. Conclusions:This experiment successfully established a high-efficiency expression method for the nucleoprotein of the CTN-1 strain in the prokaryotic expression system, and obtained high-purity target protein, which provides a basis for further clinical diagnosis and preparation of new vaccines.
