Background and purpose:Hypoxia induced the decreased radiosensitivity of tumor cells, which was the cause of tumor radioresistance and relapse and metastasis. During the course, HIF-1a played the most important role in the regulation of hypoxia. However, it’s still unknown about the effect of HIF-1a on the radiosensitivity of hypoxia tumor cells and the relationship with autophagy. This study was to inhibit HIF-1αexpression in hypoxic lung adenocarcinoma cell line A549 with RNA interference (RNAi), and explore its effect on hypoxic cell radiosensitivity and autophagy. Methods: Plasmids pHIF-1α-shRNA and Neg-shRNA (negative control) were constructed and transfected into hypoxic A549 cells, this positive clone was named A549/HIF-1α-shRNA. Clone formation array was applied to calculate the value of D0, SF2, SER. The expression of HIF-1α, LC3, c-parp was detected by Western blot. Results:The SF2 of hypoxic A549 cell was 0.62, which was higher than that of normoxic A549 cell, SER was 1.45. The level of LC3Ⅱincreased significantly and the level of c-parp decreased after the radiation of hypoxic A549 cell. The level of HIF-1a increased in hypoxic A549 cells. The expression of HIF-1αin hypoxic A549 cells was suppressed markedly after transfection of HIF-1α-shRNA;this clone was named A549/HIF-1α-shRNA. The SF2 and SER were significantly lower in A549/HIF-1α-shRNA cells, 0.45 and 0.72 respectively. Under the hypoxic condition and after the inhibition of HIF-1α, the expression of LC3Ⅱ decreased significantly and the expression of c-parp increased. Conclusion:We successfully established a cell model that HIF-1αexpression was suppressed almost completely by RNAi. The inhibition of HIF-1αby shRNA may raise the radiosensitivity and decrease the autophagy of hypoxic A549 cells in vitro.

Objective To investigate the effects of pulsed magnetic fields of different intensity on carotid restenosis (CRS), post carotid endarterectomy (CEA) and the expression of matrix metalloproteinase-2 (MMP-2)in vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMC). Methods An animal model of carotid altherosclerosis was established in 50 New Zealand rabbits by using air-drying lesions combined with high fat feed. After two months, the rabbits were treated with bilateral CEA, and then divided randomly into 3 groups. Two of the groups were treated with ei-ther 0.6 or 1.0 T pulsed magnetic fields, while the third group served as an untreated blank control. Changes in the pathology of the tunica intima were observed 1, 2 and 3 months after the CEA using morphologic analysis, and the expression of MMP-2 in the VSMC was determined using immunohistochemistry. Results The histological a-nalysis showed that the total luminal area, plaque area, the maximum plaque thickness and the proportion of siena-sis in the treated groups were all significandy lower, on average, than in the control group. At all three time points the average improvements in the 1.0 T group were significantly greater than in the 0.6 T group. The average ex-pression of MMP-2 in the treated groups was significantly lower than in the control group, especially in the 1.0 T group. Conclusions Pulsed magnetic field therapy positively influences CRS and the expression of MMP-2 in VSMC. Reduced MMP-2 expression might be one of the mechanisms through which pulsed magnetic fields prevent or lessen carotid restenosis post CEA.

AIM: To explore the effect of luteolin on the metastasis of ovarian carcinoma HO-8910PM cells in vitro, and to elucidate its mechanisms. METHODS: The in vitro invasion and mobility of HO-8910PM were measured by Boyden chamber assay after exposure to luteolin for 6 h. Gelatinase activity was tested by gelatin zymography assay. The expression of tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinase-1 (TIMP-1), nm23 mRNA and that of ERK2 protein were tested by RT-PCR and Western blotting, respectively. RESULTS: Luteolin significantly inhibited in vitro invasiveness and mobility in HO-8910PM cells in a dose dependent manner as measured by Boyden chamber assay. Luteolin inhibited the MMP-9 secretion from HO-8910PM cells. Luteolin did not affect the mRNA expression of TIMP-1 and nm23. Luteolin also decreased ERK2 expression. CONCLUSION: Luteolin dose-dependently inhibited the metastasis of HO-8910PM cells in vitro. Inhibition of MMP-9 secretion and ERK2 expression may be involved in the anti-metastasic process of luteolin.

BACKGROUND:Establishment of in vitro culture system of human placental microvascular endothelial cel s with high purity is very important. In recent studies, some scholars have successful y obtained a large number of placental microvascular endothelial cel s by three-stepenzyme digestion and magnetic separation method, but the procedures were extremely complex and it had great damage to the cel s. Therefore, how to separate human placental microvascular endothelial cel s easily and obtain high-purified cel s has become a research hotspot.
OBJECTIVE:To investigate an efficient method to isolate and purify human placental microvascular endothelial cel s from early vil us microvessels, observe the cel growth and identify the cel s.
METHODS:The vil i from normal early pregnancies (6-8 weeks) after artificial abortion were col ected aseptical y. Using two-step digestion procedure and discontinuous Percol density gradient centrifugation method, human placental microvascular endothelial cel s were obtained. Then the cel s were identified by trypsin digestion method and repeated adherence method.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Human placental microvascular endothelial cel s were isolated successful y from early vil i. The primary cel s adhered to the wal s after inoculated for 24 hours and entered logarithmic phase at 10 days. 80%of the cel s achieved a confluence at 12-13 days after inoculating. The subculture cel s grew swiftly with the typical cobblestone appearance. Immunofluorescence staining showed that, cultured human placental microvascular endothelial cel s demonstrated a strong positive reaction to von Wil ebrand factor antigen and CD31, accounting for 100%. MTT assay results showed that, human placental microvascular endothelial cel s at passage 5 exhibited an S-shaped growth curve. High-purity human placental microvascular endothelial cel s can be obtained by proteolytic enzymes digestion and discontinuous Percol density gradient centrifugation method, and the purity is detected by trypsin digestion method and repeated adherence method.
