International Journal of Traditional Chinese Medicine 2012;34(1):22-24
ObjectiveTo discuss the mechanism of the growth inhibitory effects of berberine on human osteosarcoma cell MG63.MethodsMG63 cells were divided into a control group and a processing group.The inhibition ratio of two groups was measured by CCK-8 assay,and the mechanism of the growth inhibitory effect was studied by Western Blot assay.ResultsThe inhibition ratio of MG63 cells,which were respectively treated with berberine at 0 (control group),1,5,10,20,50 μg/ml,were (99.37± 1.13) %,(91.37±4.25)%,(72.44 ± 2.89)%,(57.33 ± 1.37)%,(50.14 ± 4.05)% and(37.53 ± 4.14)% after 48h.The semiquantitative expression of Bcl-2 in MG63 treated with berberine at 0 (control group),20,50 μg/ml after 48h was (0.4167±0.0115),(0.3458±0.0146),(0.2987±0.0207),while the Bax and caspase-9 was (0.4327±0.0206),(0.5007±0.0089),(0.7115±0.0214) and (0.1459±0.0107),(0.2416±0.0098),(0.2584±0.0330).Compared with the control group there was statistically significance (P<0.05).ConclusionBerberine had inhibitory effects of on MG63.The mechanism lied in its regulating the expression of apoptosis gene Bcl-2 and Bax,activating caspases-9,and inducing cell apoptosis.

AIM: To explore the role and possible mechanism of polyamine in L - arginine inhibiting cardiac hypertrophy induced by isoproterenol (ISO). METHODS: Hypertrophic model of rats was established using ISO. Pretrea-ted with L - arginine, hypertrophy status of rats was determined by hypertrophy coefficient, collagen content and the expression of ANP mRNA. High performance liquid chromatography ( HPLC) was used to measure the concentrations of polyamines. Western blotting was performed to detect the expressions of ornithine decarboxylase ( ODC) and spermidine/ spermine Nl - acetyltransferase (SSAT). The activity and levels of NOS and NO in serum were also observed. RESULTS : Hypertrophy coefficient and expression of ANP mRNA increased significantly after injection of ISO for 7 d. Moreover, cardiac muscle fibres became thick and disorganized. Pretreated with L - arginine, the above index decreased. Meanwhile , the concentration of polyamine was decreased and plasma NO content and NOS activity were increased, the expression of ODC was downregulated and the expression of SSAT was upregulated. CONCLUSION: Exogenous L - arginine inhibits cardiac hypertrophy through downregulating L - arginine/polyamine pathway and upregulating L - arginine/NO pathway.

Background and purpose: The diagnosis of thyroid papillary carcinoma sometimes is difficult, metastasis of lymph node is the major reason of local relapse and influence prognosis.This study explores the immunohistochemical expression and their diagnostic value of CK19,HBME-1,galectin3,p27 and cyclinD1 in thyroid papillary carcinoma and the relations between p27,cyclinD1 and lymph node metastasis of papillary carcinoma.Methods: Immunohistochemical staining was used on 50 specimens of benign lesions (40 speciments of nodular goiters and 10 cases of follicular adenomas) and 50 specimens of papillary carcinomas (40 specimens of classic variants and 10 specimens of follicular variants) operated in our hospital from January of 2005 to December of 2008. Results: CK19,HBME-1 and galectin3 were expressed in cytoplasm or on the membrane, but p27 and cyclinD1 were expressed on the nucleus. The expressions of CK19,HBME-1 and galectin3 in thyroid papillary carcinoma were middle to strong positive, the positive ratios were 100%,96% and 100%, respectively;their expressions in benign lesions were negative or low positive, the positive ratios were 10%,10% and 6%, respectively;there were statistical differences between them (P<0.01). The expression of p27 in thyroid papillary carcinoma was low positive or negative, the positive ratio was 14%, but the expression of p27 in benign lesions was middle to strong positive, the ratio was 84%, there was also significant difference between them(P<0.01). The expression of CyclinD1 were similar in benign and malignant lesions of thyroid, the positive ratios were 68% and 78%, respectively, there was no statistical difference between them(P>0.05). There were significant differences(P<0.01) between the benign lesions and the papillary carcinomas in terms of the combination of CK19,HBME-1 and galectin3 expression and there were no significant differences(P>0.05) in the group of the former with underexpression of p27 between the two groups. The differences were not statistically significant (P>0.05) between the underexpression of p27 with the expression of cyclinD1 (the positive ratios in metastasis group and no metastasis group are 72.7% and 71.4%) in the lymph node metastasis. Conclusion: The combined immunohistochemical stainings of CK19,HBME-1 and galectin3 are useful on the diagnosis and differential diagnosis of thyroid papillary carcinoma, there is no predicted value of the underexpression of p27 with the expression of cyclinD1 for lymph node matastasis of thyroid papillary carcinoma.
