Objective To analyze the characteristics and hepatotropism of this negative element HBVnt453-250 sequence.Methods pHBv453-250,pHBV250-453.plucHBV453-250 and plucHBV250-453 were constructed,with luciferase and enhanced green fluorecence protein(EGFP)gene as the reporter gene,respectively.After transfection of HepG2 cells with these plasmids,luciferase assays,real-time PCR and western blot assays were used to detect the gene transcription and expression level.The SV40 promoter of pGL3 control and pHBV453-250 were replaced by the cytomegalovirus early promoter,resulting in plasmids pCMVcontrol(luc)and pCMV453-250(luc).Results Compared with pHBV453-250,the mutant plasmids.with the inhibitory element inserted in difierent site or inverted orientation.exerted similar downregulation of Juciferase gene transcription and expression.Western blot analysis demonstrated the similar repression when EGFP was used as the reporter gene.By transfeeted to HepG2 cell line,the plasmid pCMV453-250(1UC)could reduce lneiferase activity(36.56%)compared with pCMLcontrol(luc).When the plasmids plueHBV453-250 and plucHBV250-453 were transfected to non-liver cell lines(A549,HeLa),luciferase gene was expressed weakly,compared with that of pGL3control(P＜0.05).Conclusion The inhibitory effect of HBVnt453-250 sequence acted in both orientation-and position-independent manners,and had no promoter selectivity and funotioned in hepatocyte-independent manner.

ATP-binding cassette protein E (ABCE1) has been annotated as an Rnase L inhibitor in eukaryotes. Previous study showed that the overexpression of ABCE1 was related with the occurrence and clinical stage of lung adenocarcinoma. As an initial investigation into the novel functions of ABCE1, siRNA-expressing vectors targeting sites of the ABCE1 gene were constructed from RNAi-Ready pSIREN-DNR-DsRed-Express vector. Cultured 95-D and NCI-H446 lung carcinoma cells were transfected with the siRNA-expressing vectors using FuGENE 6 and transfection efficiency was determined by using fluorescence microscopy. The expression level of ABCE1 protein was determined by Western blot and immunofluorescence staining. Cell viability was determined by MTT, cell cycle was analysed by flow cytometry.The apoptotic rate was observed by ELISA. Fluorescence microscopy showed a satisfactory transfection efficiency which was about 42.70%. Cell viability and the growth fraction were markedly suppressed, whereas the apoptosis was significantly increased in SiRNA-95-D and SiRNA-NCI-H446 cells than controls(P< 0.05). It can be concluded that the siRNA targeting ABCE1 gene shows a dramatic inhibitory effect on RNA transcription and protein expression and a promoting effect on the apoptosis in 95-D/NCI-H446 cells, which offers a reliable base for the further in vivo experiment.

A lipopeptide compound was isolated from the culture of Bacillus subtilis HSO121 by methods of acidic precipitation, solvent extract, fractional precipitation, adsorption and prepared thin-layer chromatography; and its molecular structure was determined by by ninhydrin assay and IR methods following the Amino analysis, MS-MS and ESI-MS. It shows that the isolated lipopeptide consists of two homologues with molecular mass 1,022D and 1,036D and bearing a cyclic structure with the amino acid sequence Leu-Leu-Asp-Val-Leu-Leu-Glu in the peptide chain, which indicates that the isolated lipopeptide falls into the analogs of surfactin.

Kawasaki disease (KD) is an acute systemic vasculitis that primarily affects young children aged from 6 months to 4 years.KD may lead to coronary artery abnormalities in 25％-30％ of the children.The timely use of high dose intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIG) can significantly reduce the incidence of coronary artery aneurysms.Most clinicians use IVIG combined with aspirin as conventional therapy.But how to deal with those IVIG-resistant patients is a dilemma.With the deepening of research,many researchers have found that some second-line or third-line drugs such as corticosteroids,tumor necrosis factor-α inhibitors,and calcineurin inhibitors work better,and can effectively reduce the complication rate.The recent advances of the treatment of KD were summarized in this paper.

Objective To explore the effect of lysophosphatidic acid(LPA)on blood-brain barrier(BBB) permeability and its possible mechanism.Methods LPA or LPA+suramin(L+S)were stereotaxically injected into the right eaudate nucleus in SD rats in vivo.Evans blue(EB)was used to quantitatively measure the permeability of BBB at different time points.The expression of matrix metalloproteinase-9 was detected by immunohistochemistry technique.The pathological ultrastruetural changes of BBB were assessed by transmission electron microscopy.Results The BBB permeability began to increase after LPA administered into ipsilateral eaudate nucleus,and reached the peak at 24h.Then the permeability of BBB gradually lowered after 48h.In comparison with the same time points of control group,there were quite significant differences(P＜0.01).After L+S was injected,the change of BBB permeability had differences in comparison with those of LPA group in the same time points,(P＜0.05).MMP-9 positive cells were mainly vascular endothelial cells.The numbers of MMP-9 positive blood vessels grew at 6h in LPA group,and the expression of it reached maximum at 24h,then the number of it decreased at 48h,showing significant statistical differences in comparison with the L+S group(P＜0.01),It was observed microscopically that ultrastrueture of BBB of the LPA group was changed sharply,such as basement membrane roughed and fragmented,astroeyte end-feet swolled markedly and perivaseular space enlarged obviously.But there were no remarkable changes in BBB in L+S group.Conclusion LPA can induce increase of BBB permeability and its possible mechanism is the strong expression of MMP-9 protein produeted by endothelial cells through the mediation of LPA receptor,leading to degradation of basement membrane.
