Aim To investigate the role of transcrip-tional cofactors receptor interacting protein 140 ( RIP140 ) and peroxisome proliferator-activated recep-tor γ coactivator-1α ( PGC-1α) in the angiotensin Ⅱ( AngⅡ) mediated energy metabolism regulation in cardiomyocytes. Methods RIP140 or PGC-1α was overexpressed via adenovirus vector system. ATP con-tents were detected by luminescence detection assay system. Real-time PCR and Western blot analysis were used to measure the expressions of RIP140 and PGC-1α genes. Results After treated with 100 nmol·L-1 AngⅡfor 36h in neonatal cardiomyocytes, the content of mitochondrial ATP was reduced notably ( P <0. 01). Accordingly, the mRNA and protein levels for RIP140 were increased. However, the mRNA and pro-tein levels of PGC-1α were downregulated markedly. What’ s more,the reduction of ATP induced by AngⅡwas further aggravated by RIP 1 4 0 overexpression , but ameliorated by overexpressing PGC-1α. Conclusion The reduction of ATP mediated by AngⅡis associated with the upregulation of RIP140 , as well as the down-regulation of PGC-1α.

The siRNA of c-myc may become a new tool of gene therapy on leukemia.

Aim The limited transfection efficiency for plasmid in primary neonatal rat cardiomyocytes,which are terminal differentiated cells,and long foreign DNA (the RIP140 gene sequence are as long as 3.5 kb) cause us to choose a better system to study RIP140 gene expression in primary non-replicative cells. Methods Full-length of RIP140 was cloned into pAdTracker-CMV shuttle vector,and then recombined with virus backbone pAdEasy-1 vector in BJ5183 bac-teria.Positive recombinant plasmid was confirmed by sequence analysis and restriction enzyme determina-tion,and then transfected into AD293 cells for amplifi-cation.Titers of virus particles were determined by Tis-sue Culture Infectious Dose 50 (TCID50 )method and cell vitality was analyzed by CCK-8 kit in cardiomyo-cytes.RIP140 gene was identified by Western blot. Results Sequence analysis suggested that full-length RIP140 gene was cloned correctly into AdEasyTM sys-tem.Virus titers of Ad-RIP140 and Ad-GFP were 1011.3 and 1011.7 PFU·mL-1 ,respectively.Cell vitali-ty was not affected when the Multiplicity of Infection (MOI)was lower than 200.Green fluorescent protein (GFP)and Western blot analysis showed RIP140 gene was remarkably increased in cardiomyocytes for 12h in-fection by Ad-RIP140 (P<0.05 ).Conclusion Re-combinant adenovirus containing RIP140 gene was suc-cessfully constructed and effectively expressed in car-diomyocytes.These will be helpful for further research on the function of RIP140 in cardiomyocytes.

To study the cause of postoperative complications of coronary artery bypass grafting(CABG) and their preventive measures. 210 cases were reviewed and analyzed from 1993 to 2000, including 194 males and 16 females with a mean age of 58 7 years (range 32～78 years). 150 patients had three coronary vessels disease 101 patients had the history of myocardial infarction 33 patients were in heart function Ⅲ～Ⅳ(NYHA) CABG under cardiopulmonary bypass(CPB) were performed in 200 cases, and off-pump CABG in 10 cases The average number of grafts were 3 1. Cardiac valve replacement and plastic operation were done in 25 patients at the same time, and left ventricular aneurysms were resected in 8 cases The hospital mortality was 1 9%(4/210), and 13 patients had perioperative myocardial infarction. The recurrence rate of angina was 5 2%(11/210). The incidence of postoperative arrhythmia was 16 2%(34/210). A rise of creatine kinase level was observed in 145 cases after CABG. Incidence of painless myocardial infarction was very high(11/13) in perioperative myocardial infarction, therefore the level of myocardial enzymes should be assessed after the operation and the changes in electrocardiogram should be monitored in order to avoid misdiagnosis. The great majority of postoperative arrhythmias were atrial flutter,atrial fibrillation, and supraventricular tachycardia. Normal sinus rhythm was readily restored by conventional treatment.

AIM: Three different antisense oligonucleotides complementary to basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF) mRNA were compared in inhibitory effect on gene targeted expression. METHODS: After transfecting bFGF antisense oligonucleotides (asODN) into SWO-38 cells by lipofectin,the proliferation of cells was identified by MTT method, apoptosis was examined by flow cytometric cell cycle analysis and the expression levers of bFGF were detected by Western-blotting. RESULTS: There were 49%,33%,51% inhibition of cell growth and 35%, 27%, 18% cell apoptosis after asODN1, asODN2 and asODN3 treatment.In addition,the decrease in bFGF protein was 63%, 42%, 11%, respectively. CONCLUSION: The data suggeste that asODN1 is a potent target to bFGF mRNA, which inhibits cell growth and induces apoptosis in SWO-38 cells.

Tyrosinase is a key enzyme related to skin pigmentation disorders of elderly people, while self-aggregation of the amyloid-beta peptide, Abeta42, has been considered as a key event in the pathogenesis of Alzheimer's disease (AD). The present study was undertaken to investigate the inhibitory effects of 20 samples from Rhodiola species on tyrosinase and Abeta42 aggregation, and to isolate their corresponding bioactive components. The results demonstrated that the oligomeric proanthocyanidins (OPCs) commonly found in Rhodiola species were the major bioactive components corresponding to their anti-tyrosinase and anti-Abeta42 aggregation bioactivities. Salidroside, a representative compound of Rhodiola plants, proved not to be active in the present studies.

Nuclear receptors(NRs)superfamily signaling plays an important role in regulating the expression of gene involved inenergy homeostasis.The nuclear receptors regulate target gene expression through the recruitment of coregulatory proteins,which act as scaffolds or plateforms for linking NRs with enzyme complexes that modify DNA and histones.As a transcriptional co-repressor for NRs,RIP140 negatively regulates the transcription of target gene in metabolic tissue,such as adipose tissue,muscle and liver.In the absence of RIP140,genes expressions involved in metabolic pathways were upregulated including glycolysis,triglyceride synthesis,TCA cycle,fatty acid ? oxidation,mitochondrial electron transport and oxidative phosphorylation.RIP140 may be a candidate therapeutic target for metabolism syndromes.
