Aim To study the sensitivity of human gastric cancer BGC-823 cells to paclitaxel after trans-fection of SHIP2 ( The SH2 domain containing inositol 5-phosphatase 2 ) cDNA. Methods Apoptotic cells were determined by the propidium iodide method using flow cytometry. The levels of protein and mRNA ex-pression were measured by Western blot analysis and qRT-PCR, respectively. pCMV6-SHIP2 plasmid and empty vector were transiently transfected into BGC-823 cells, respectively. Stable cell lines were established after infecting BGC-823 cell with GV112-Puromycin and GV112-Puromycin-Bim( Bcl-2 interacting mediator of cell death) lentivirus particles. pCMV6-SHIP2 plas-mid was transiently transfected into the stable cell lines. Results BGC-823 cells were relatively insensi-tive to paclitaxel compared with SGC-7901 cells. The apoptotic rate was only (25. 6 ± 1. 6)% after the treat-ment with 0 . 3 μmol · L-1 paclitaxel for 48 h in BGC-823 cells. The expression levels of Bim protein and mRNA in BGC-823 cells treated with paclitaxel at dif-ferent time points were not significantly changed. The expression of Bim protein was increased after transfec-tion of pCMV6-SHIP2 plasmid, and the apoptotic rate was up to ( 50. 8 ± 0 . 9 )% in BGC-823 cells treated with paclitaxel for 48h. The expression of Bim protein was significantly inhibited after infecting with GV112-Puromycin-Bim lentivirus particles. The apoptotic rate of infected BGC-823 cells was only ( 27. 6 ± 1. 6 )%after treatment upon paclitaxel for 48h. Conclusion Overexpression of exogenous SHIP2 can increase the expression of Bim, induce apoptosis and enhance sen-sitivity of BGC-823 cells to paclitaxel.

Human height, a complex trait with over 80% heritability, is determined by genetic and environment factors. Currently, a certain amount of specific variants about human height have been found, especially with the widely used of genome-wide association studies (GWAS) in genetics research, making it a great progress for the discovering of height associated genes. However, single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) found by GWAS can only explain a minority of the heritable. This article reviews the progress of GWAS about height associated genes and missing heritability domestic and overseas.

Objective To investigate the relationship between androgen receptor CAG-gene polymorphism and androgen in male with salt sensitive hypertension.Methods Through the oral saline loading test and furosemide volume method male hypertension group were divided into salt-sensitive (SS group) and salt-insensitive (SR group).The samples from 161 males were selected in the study,including salt sensitive hypertension patients (SS group,61/161),salt-insensitive hypertension patients (SR group,40/161) and age-matched healthy samples (control group,60/161).All samples were sequenced with an analysis method (CAG) n repeated polymorphism,and determinated of total testosterone (TT) and free testosterone (FT) level in serum by electrochemiluminescence immunoassay.Results The number of CAG repeats was 14~34,average 22.4± 2.7.The CAG repeats of SS,SR and control group were 23.5±3.75,22.3±3.17 and 21.8±2.95,respectively.There were significant differences among the three groups (t=2.627~ 3.257,all P<0.05).The level of TT and FT in SS and SR group were decreased compared with that of control group.At the same time,the level of SS group was lower,and there were significant differences among the three groups (t=2.524~ 3.826,all P<0.05).Conclusion The androgen receptor gene repeat length and androgen levels are associated with male hypertension,especially salt-sensitive hypertension.Long (CAG) n repeat polymorphism maybe a genetic factor in the pathogenesis of hypertension.Plasma androgen levels may be used as a predictor of male salt sensitive hypertension.
