Objective To investigate the effects of microRNA(miRNA)-375 on gastric cancer cell function and the possible mechanism.Methods miRNA-375 eukaryotic expression vector was stably transfected into human gastric cancer cell line HGC-27.A miRNA-375 highly expressed gastric cancer cell line PC3,1-375 was screened and established.Blank plasmid transfection group (PC3.1 group) and blank control group were also established.The cell proliferation ability and apoptosis rate in three groups were detected by cell counting kit-8 (CCK-8) method and flow cytometry.The protein expression of astrocyte elevated gene 1 (AEG-1) in three groups was determined by Western blotting.The nude mouse subcutaneous xenografts model was also established.After 30 days,the nude mice were executed and the xenografts were dissociated and measured.The expression ofAEG-1 in the tumors at protein level was tested by immunohistochemistry method.The statistical inference includes t-test and analysis of variance.Results After stable transfection and cell screening,compared with that of blank control group,the expression of miRNA-375 in PC3.1-375 group significantly increased (t=2.82,2.01,bothP＜0.05).The cell proliferation of PC3.1-375 group was significantly lower than that of PC3.1 group and blank control group and the difference reached a maximum in day 3 (t3d=3.56,2.79,both P＜0.05).But with the apoptosis rate of PC3.1-375 group,the opposite was true (t=2.05,2.96,both P＜0.05).The results of Western blot shows that the expression of AEG-1 at protein level of PC3.1-375 group decreased compared with that of blank control group and PC3.1 group.The xenografts growth rate,average weight and tumor volume of PC3.1-375 group were significantly lower than those of blank control group and PC3.1 group (t=3.78,2.26,both P＜0.05).By the end of experiment,the volume of nude mouse subcutaneous xenografts in blank control group ((3.12 ± 0.77) cm3) and PC3.1 group ((3.76 ± 0.65) cm3) was significant bigger than that inPC3.1-375 group (0.72±0.21) cm3,t=5.67,6.92,both P＜0.05).The average weight of xenografts in PC3.1-375 group ((0.85 ± 0.15)g) was obviously lower than that in PC3.1 group ((4.01±0.52) g) and blank control group ((3.86±0.56) g,t=4.56,5.01,both P＜0.05).The results of immunohistochemistry indicated that the expression of AEG-1 protein in xenografts in PC3.1-375 group was remarkably decreased compared with that in blank control group and PC3.1 group (F=35.000,P＜0.05).Conclusions miRNA-375 can effectively inhibit the cell proliferation of gastric cancer,promote cells apoptosis and it's a tumor suppression factor in gastric cancer.AEG-1 may be a target gene of miRNA-375.

BACKGROUND:Exercises play an important role in the recovery of neurological function after stroke. Few studies concerned the amount of exercise in rats after stroke. Hippocampus is strongly associated with cognitive function, but no reports addressed the expression of repulsive guidance molecule A in the rat hippocampus after ischemia and reperfusion. OBJECTIVE:To explore the effects of exercise on repulsive guidance molecule A expression in the hippocampus on the ischemic side in rats after cerebral ischemia-reperfusion injury. METHODS:120 Sprague-Dawley rats were equal y and randomly divided into normal group, sham-operation group, and 7-, 14-, 28-day model groups. The model of right cerebral ischemia-reperfusion injury was induced by ligation with nylon monofilament in rats of 7-, 14-, 28-day model groups. Low exercise group received treadmil training of 5 m/min, 5 minutes;7 m/min, 5 minutes;9 m/min, 20 minutes. Moderate exercise group received treadmil training of 8 m/min, 5 minutes;10 m/min, 5 minutes;13 m/min, 20 minutes. High exercise group received treadmil training of 8 m/min, 5 minutes;11 m/min, 5 minutes;20 m/min, 20 minutes. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Repulsive guidance molecule A mRNA and protein expression was highest in the ischemic side of the hippocampus in the 7-day model group without excercise. Moreover, repulsive guidance molecule A relative expression gradual y reduced over time. Compared with non-exercise, repulsive guidance molecule A mRNA and protein expression significantly decreased in the 14-and 28-day model groups during moderate exercise (P<0.05), but repulsive guidance molecule A mRNA and protein expression increased during high exercise. Above data confirmed that moderate exercises could decrease repulsive guidance molecule A expression in the affected side of the hippocampus of rats with cerebral ischemia-reperfusion injury.

BACKGROUND:Maxilofacial bone and periodontal tissue defect is one of the important diseases that affect human functionality and aesthetic appearance, and bone tissue engineering becomes the main means to repair maxilofacial and periodontal tissue defects. Currently, the basic mode is constructed by the combination of co-culture of seed cels and cels, scaffolds and micro-environment. Pre-vascularization and rapid osteogenesis of tissue-engineered bone can reduce implant necrosis and absorption, and improve repair success rate. OBJECTIVE:To summarize the new progress of bone tissue engineering used in the oral and maxilofacial and periodontal tissue in the past 5 years. METHODS:CNKI database and PubMed database from 2010 to 2015 were searched using the keywords of “oral and maxilofacial, bone tissue engineering, bone regeneration, vascularization, genetic modification, seed cels, support material, microenvironment” in Chinese and English, respectively. After elimination of independent and repetitive studies, 68 articles were included in result analysis. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: The tissue-engineered bone has achieved tremendous progress in the repair of oral and maxilofacial and periodontal tissue defects. The three-dimensional scaffold with gene-modified seed cels can effectively promote the vascularization, improve the osteogenic effect and increased the probability of success in mandibular defect repair. In addition, tissue-engineered bone implantation into the alveolar ridge defects or fresh extraction fossa can effectively restore and preserve alveolar ridge height and width, to ensure a good bone condition for subsequent restorative treatment. After the implantation of tissue-engineered bone, different external environmental stimuli could be loaded at defect sites, and the extracelular matrix components or signal pathway could be adjusted to change the process of vascularization. Vascularization is a premise condition for the establishment of an effective blood circulation to ensure the success of scaffold implantation.
