Objective To study the expression and clinical significance of Survivin and PTEN in cervical carcinoma. Methods The expression of Survivin and PTEN in 60 cases of cervical carcinoma, 15 cases of CIN Ⅰ , 15 cases of CIN Ⅱ, 15 cases of CIN Ⅲ and 15 cases of normal cervical tissues were detected by immunohistochemical staining. Results The expression positive rates of Survivin were 86.67 %, 80.00 %,33.33 %, 20.00 % and 0, respectively, and those of PTEN were 21.67 %, 40.00 %, 80.00 %, 86.67 % and 100.00 % in cervical carcinoma, CIN Ⅲ, CIN Ⅱ, CIN Ⅰ and normal cervical tissues, respectively. The expression positive rates of Survivin were increased along with normal cervical epithelium, CIN Ⅰ, CIN Ⅱ,CIN Ⅲ and invasive carcinoma of cervix;while those of PTEN were inverse order.Compared with the expression positive rates of Survivin and PTEN protein in the CIN Ⅱ group, those in the CIN Ⅲ group had significant differences (P <0.01 and P <0.05, respectively). Expressions of Survivin and PTEN were correlated to the size of focus(P <0.05), the depth of tumor and pelvic lymphnode metastasis (P <0.05), but not to clinical staging, pathological types, pathological grading and age(P >0.05). There was a negative correlation between the expression of PTEN and Survivin in cervical carcinoma. Conclusion The expressions of Survivin and PTEN are correlated with invasion and metastasis of cervical carcinoma, and be related to clinical pathotology.Survivin and PTEN may play a important role in the formation, proliferation, differentuation and metastasis of cervical carcinoma. They may be used as markers of early diagnose, efficacy and prognosis evaluation.

Objective To investigate the protective effects of lentivirus mediated Bcl-2-associated athanogene 1L (BAG-1L) over-expression on human neuroblastoma cells (SH-SYSY) induced by hypoxia/re-oxygenation,and to study its effect on the phosphoinositide 3 kinase serine/threonine protein kinase (PI3K/AKT) pathway.Methods SH-SYSY cells were cultured in vitro,and the cells at logarithmic phase were collected,and they were divided into recombined lentiviral infection group [infected by lentivirus containing BAG-1L and green fluorescent protein (GFP) gene],vector control group (infected by lentivirus containing GFP without BAG-1L gene) and cell control group (non-infection).Western Blot was used to detect the expression of BAG-1L in target cells after infection for 48 hours.SH-SY5Y cells were subjected to hypoxia for 8 hours and re-oxygenation for 24 hours,then the cell counting kit-8(CCK-8) was used to detect the cell activity,and the apoptosis was detected by flow cytometry after allophycocyanin labeled annexin V/7-amino actinomycin D (Annexin V-APC/7-AAD) staining.Western Blot was used to detect the protein expressions of BAG-1L,heat shock protein 70 (HSP70),AKT and phosphorylated AKT (p-AKT).Results After infection for 48 hours,exogenous BAG-1L protein bands were observed in recombined lentiviral infection group,but not observed in cell control group and vector control group.After hypoxia/re-oxygenation treatment,the cell viability in recombined lentiviral infection group was significantly higher than that in cell control group and vector control group (A value:0.689 ± 0.036 vs.0.425 ± 0.013,0.400 ± 0.012),apoptosis was significantly decreased [apoptosis rate:(26.97 ± 1.82)％ vs.(36.60± 1.45)％,(35.77 ± 3.74)％],the protein levels of BAG-1L,HSP70 and p-AKT were significantly increased [BAG-1L protein (gray value):2.405 ± 0.167 vs.0.529 ± 0.141,0.601 ± 0.099;HSP70protein (gray value):0.997±0.123 vs.0.634±0.091,0.584±0.106;p-AKT protein (gray value):1.234±0.118 vs.0.661 ± 0.210,0.712 ± 0.199,all P ＜ 0.01],but the protein level of AKT was slightly increased (gray value:1.103 ± 0.269vs.0.646 ± 0.188,0.791 ± 0.326) without statistically significant differences (both P ＞ 0.05).There was no significant difference in all parameters between cell control group and vector control group (all P ＞ 0.05).Conclusion Lentivirus mediated BAG-1L gene over-expression can protect nerve cells against hypoxic injury and apoptosis,and the protective effect may be related to the activation increase of pathway on PI3K/AKT.

Objective To investigate the protective effect of carnosine on Glutamate induced apoptosis in SH-SY5Y cells and its mechanism. Methods The injury model was established by treating SH-SY5Y cells with glutamate in vitro.Inverted microscope was used to observe cell morphology. The cell viability was detected by MTT assay, and changes in nucleus were detected by Hoechst33258 staining under fluorescence microscopy.The cell apoptosis rates were measured by flow cytometry.The reactive oxygen species ( ROS ) level in cells was detected by fluorescent probe CDFH-DA. Results Compared with normal control group, the cell viability in glutamate group decreased (P<0.01), the morphology changes of cell apoptosis such as karyopyknosis and split were observed by Hoechst33258 staining, while the apoptosis rate and the level of ROS were increased (P<0.01). Compared with glutamate group, the cell viability of carnosine 0.6,3,15 mmol/L groups obviously increased(P<0.01), while the morphology changes of cell apoptosis significantly improved, the apoptosis rate and the level of ROS were obviously reduced ( P<0.01 ) .Compared with normal control group, the cell viability, the morphology changes and the apoptosis rate did not significantly change in carnosine group.The level of ROS was reduced, but there was no statistically significant difference between two groups.Conclusion Carnosine has apparent protective effect on apoptosis of SH-SY5Y cells injury induced by glutamate.The mechanism may be related to carnosine prevent the occurrence of oxidative stress.

Objective To investigate the effects of lentivirus-mediated heat shock protein 70 (HSP70) gene on voltage-gated calcium channels on the cell membrane of pheochromocytoma cell 12 (PC 12 cells) induced by ischemic/hypoxia and its mechanisms.Methods PC12 cells at logarithmic phase were collected,which were challenged with hypoxia for 6 hours and reoxygenation for 12 hours to stimulate the nerve cells suffered ischemia/reperfusion pathological process in vitro.PC12 cells were divided into non-infection group,infected by lentivirus containing green fluorescent protein (GFP) without HSP70 gene lentivirus control group (GFP lentivirus control group),and infected by lentivirus containing HSP70 and GFP gene recombined lentiviral infection group (HSP70 recombined lentiviral infection group).Real-time fluorescence quantitative reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) and Western Blot were used to determine mRNA and protein expressions of L-type voltage-gated Ca2+ channel subunits cav1.2 and cav1.3,receptor gated channel subunits NR1 and NR2,and Na+/Ca2+ exchange (NCX) in PC12 cells.Results After being challenged with hypoxia/reoxygenation,the mRNA and protein expressions of cav1.2,NR1 and NR2 in the PC12 cells were significantly lower in HSP70 recombined lentiviral infection group than those of GFP lentivirus control group and non-infection group [cav1.2 mRNA (2-△△Ct):3.13 ± 0.46 vs.5.12 ± 0.52,5.13 ± 0.66;NR1 mRNA (2-△△△Ct):1.61 ± 0.44 vs.3.23 ±0.82,3.31 ±0.78;NR2 mRNA (2-△△Ct):2.09±0.41 vs.3.91 ±0.64,3.88±0.62;cav1.2 protein (gray value):2.82±0.39 vs.3.98±0.23,3.96±0.24;NR1 protein (gray value):1.84±0.35 vs.2.79±0.21,2.86±0.23;NR2 protein (gray value):0.87±0.24 vs.1.57±0.31,1.33±0.44;all P ＜ 0.01].But there were no statistical differences in the mRNA and protein expressions of cav1.2,NR1 and NR2 between GFP lentivirus control group and non-infection group (all P ＞ 0.01).There were no statistical differences in the mRNA and protein expressions of cav1.3 and NCX among non-infection group,GFP lentivirus control group and HSP70 recombined lentiviral infection group [cav1.3 mRNA (2-△△Ct):4.82 ± 0.32,4.72 ± 0.36,4.82 ± 0.29;NCX mRNA (2-△△Ct):3.49 ± 0.78,3.47 ± 0.71,3.56 ± 0.65;cav 1.3 protein (gray value):2.63±0.40,2.64±0.39,2.68±0.39;NCX protein (gray value):3.27±0.48,3.34±0.48,3.31 ±0.42;all P ＞ 0.01].Conclusion Exogenous HSP70 affects the expression of L-type voltage-gated Ca2+ channel subunit cav1.2 and receptor gated channel subunits NR1 and NR2,which may protect PC12 cells from the injury caused by ischemic/hypoxia.

Objective To analyze the clinical features of rectal and perianal inflammatory myofibroblastic tumor and evaluate its diagnosis and treatment.Method Clinicopathological data of 3 cases diagnosed as inflammatory myofibroblastic tumor from January,2005 to June,2011 were retrospectively reviewed.Results Inflammatory myofibroblastic tumor presents as infiltrative growth mass with rich vascularization on CT or MRI,and is difficult to distinguish from hemangioma and other rectal tumors.Preoperative biopsy usually fails to ascertain the entity of mass,and pathological examination of the whole resected specimen with immunohistochemical staining is needed to make final diagnosis.All 3 cases underwent sphincter preserving surgery.One case received a second radical operation 16 months after primary resection because of local recurrence.All patients are followed up to now,with a survival time of 67 months,55 months,and 35 months respectively.Conclusions Rectal and perianal inflammatory myofibroblastic tumor is difficult to diagnose on preoperative imaging examinations or biopsy.Immunohistochemical staining is needed to make final diagnosis.Sphincter preserving surgery with complete tumor removal could achieve long term survival.
