Objective To express human chemokine-like factor 1 (CKLF1) in Drosophila S2 cells and study its function. Methods The pMT/V5-His-CKLF1 expression plasmid was constructed and transfected into Drosophila S2 cells. The positive clones were selected through PCR and RT-PCR. The culture medium was analyzed by Western blot with anti-CKLF1 polyclonal antibody. Chemotaxis and MTT assays on human peripheral blood and C2C12 cells, respectively, were then carried out with the medium. Results CKLF1 was transcribed efficiently in S2 cells. The expressed CKLF1 protein could be detected in the culture supernatant by Western blot, which showed weak chemotactic activity on both human peripheral blood neutrophils and lymphocytes as well as enhancing effect on the proliferation of C2C12 cells. Conclusion CKLF1 was expressed successfully in Drosophila S2 cells and secreted into the culture medium. The recombinant CKLF1 expressed in Drosophila cells can chemoattract leucocytes and promote the proliferation of C2C12 cells.

Purpose To explore the expression and significance of histone methyltransferase EZH2,clinicopathological features in primary testicular diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL).Methods Immunohistochemical of Ventana Ultra View two-step staining was used to detect expression of EZH2 in 17 cases of primary testicular DLBCL.The relationship between EZH2 expression and its clinicopathological features were analyzed.Sanger squencing was used to detect EZH2 Y641 mutation in these cases.Results Morphologically,the tumor cells resembled centroblasts in 11 cases,immunoblasts in 3 cases,and anaplastic variants in 3 cases.Immunophenotypically,14 cases were non-germinal centre B cell like (non-GCB) type and 3 cases were germinal centre B cell like (GCB) subtype.EZH2 overexpressed in all 17 cases.EZH2 overexpressed in nearly tumor celts with uniformly strong intensity in 15 cases,and more than 70% tumor cells with moderate to strong intensity in 2 cases.The follow-up information was obtained in 9 patients,with a median survival time of 35 months.No association was found between the level of EZH2 expression and outcome of patients.No mutation of EZH2 Y641 was detected.Conclusion Primary testicular DLBCL is a rare aggressive B cell lymphoma with distinctive clinicopathological features.Detection of EZH2 expected to assist in the diagnosis and treatment of tumor.

Objective Revealing the developmental regulation of Cervus nippon's oocyte and organelles. Methods In the experiment,follicle systems during both estrum and non- estrum were divided into the primordial follicle,growing follicle and mature follicle according to the Cervus nippon's follicle diameter size,formation of zonapellucida,appearance time of follicular cavity.At the same time,observations on cytoplasmic organelles in development of oocytes were conducted with electron microscopic,eyepiece micrometer and photomicrographic technique(The number of every oocyte observed is 6-8). Results In the primordial follicle and early growing follicle phase,the quantity of mitochondria,golgi apparatus,smooth endoplasmic reticulum and cortical granules increased gradually and all organelles moved to the cortical area.However,in the late growing follicle and mature follicle phase,Golgi apparatus and rough endoplasmic reticulum disappeared,cortical granules began to arrange themselves in line beneath the plasma membrane of the oocyte,mitochondrias dispersed toward the central region of cytoplasm,and almost all the round mitochondria with rare cristae turned into hooded ones, and nucleus compaction occurred.In addition,the short and thick microvilli began to appear from the primary follicle ovocyte,become intensive and slender when secondary follicle's ovocyte;It's until tertiary follicle's ovocyte,microvilli started to shorten and become coarse,and even parts of them contract from the zona pellucida gradually.Conclusion In the development of oocytes, the changes of type,quantity and distribution on mitochondria has a close relation with cells at proliferation,differentiation and metabolism level.Cortical granule has no association with golgi apparatus basically,but smooth endoplasmic reticulum(SER).The nuclei are the sites of RNA synthesis and warehouses,and its densification is the premise of meiosis recovery.

Objective: in order to provide rapid and reliable method. Methods: Encoded Annexin Ⅴ cDNA was amplifyed from U937 cDNA libary by PCR and then subcloned into E coli expression vector. MS2-Annexin Ⅴ fusion protein could be overexpressed in E coli. The MS2 bacteria protein could be removed by thrombin digestion.The mature Annexin Ⅴ was obtained by ion exchange chromatography and the FITC labled Annexin Ⅴ could be used in the detection of apoptosis. Results:Up to 37% of the total bacterial proteins was rhAnnexin Ⅴ as showed by SDS-PAGE. The purification of Annexin Ⅴ is over 99%. The FITC labled Annexin Ⅴ could efficiently detect apoptosis. Conclusion: We successfully established the technique procedure of obtaining a large quantity of Annexin Ⅴ and provided the basic routine for popularizing the detection of apoptosis' with high effciency.

Objective: To study the expression and localization of apoptosis-related protein TFAR19 in TF-1 cells undergoing apoptosis. Methods: Using monoclonal antibody against TFAR19, the expression level and cell localization of TFAR19 were examined by fluorescence microscope, confocal laser scan microscope(CLSM) and flow cytometry. Simultaneously, we also analyzed the relationship of TFAR19 protein with phosphatidylserine (PS) externalization and cell nuclear DNA fragmentation. Results: The level of TFAR19 proteins expressed in TF-1 cells treated with GM-CSF withdrawal was significantly increased compared with normal TF-1 cells, then translocated rapidly from cytoplasm to the nucleus of cells. Appearance of TFAR19 in the nucleus of apoptotic cells preceded the detection of PS externalization and DNA fragmentation. Conclusion: Nuclear translocation of TFAR19 protein is one of the earliest events of cell apoptotic process. These data provided a new clue to further approach to the biological function of TFAR19 and study of cell apoptosis.

Objective To explore the clinicalpathological characteristics of Lynch syndrome associated ovarian cancer.Methods Totally 260 cases ovarian cancer patients were admitted to Tianjin Medical University General Hospital during Jan.2004 and Jan.2011,among which 10 patients( LS group) belonged to Lynch syndrome associated ovarian cancer according to Amsterdam Ⅱ criteria.One hundred ovarian cancer patients without any family cancer history were enrolled randomizely as control group (sporadic group).Results Lynch syndrome associated ovarian cancer accounted for 3.8% ( 10/260),the incidence rate of ovarian cancer for female family members of Lynch syndrome was 8.7% ( 10/115 ).Mean age at time of diagnosis in LS group was (46 ±7) years,significantly earlier than that in sporadic group [ (56 ±11 ) years,P < 0.05 ].There was no statistical difference between two groups in histological type or International Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics ( FIGO ) stage ( P > 0.05 ).Most of the tissue differentiation in LS group were well or moderate differentiated,there was statistical difference between the two groups(9/10 vs.55%,P <0.05).The 3-year and 5-year survival rate in LS group were 87.5% and 52.5%respectively,compared with 55.4%and 22.7% in sporadic group(all P<0.05).Conclusion Compared with sporadic ovarian cancer,Lynch syndrome associated ovarian cancer is more likely present as the clinicalpathological characteristics of early age of onset,serous adenocarcinoma,lower grade and better prognosis.
