1. Progress in the research of Myc and its related microRNAs in tumors
Tumor 2011;31(2):169-172
Myc is an important oncogene family, whose members can interact with microRNAs (miRNAs) as oncogene or tumor suppressor. The complicated regulatory network between Myc and miRNAs is crucial for tumorigenesis. This interaction was also reported in many studies involving stem cells, and it opened a new chapter for current cancer research. This review is about the progress in the research of Myc and its related miRNAs as oncogene or tumor suppressor, as well as their roles in cancer stem cells.

Objective To evaluate an ideal way to prepare the extracellular matrix of urethra. Methods An orthogonal design [L9(34)] was used in the experiment.Urethras were obtained from 37 rabbits,among which 27 segments were randomly selected and were decellularized following the orthogonal design in 9 groups.The whole experiments were repeated for 3 times.After the decellularization process,the acellularity of the ECM was examined by haematoxylin-eosin staining.The optimum way was found out through comparing the numbers of the remained cellular elements by computer image analysis.An ideal way was found by statistic analysis.Then the ECM was obtained from 10 pieces of urethras by the optimum methods.The scanning electronic microscopy was used to confirm the decellulary matrix.Subsequently,the ECM was used as a graft for replacement. In 10 rabbits,the urethral defect were replaced with the urethral ECMs. At sacrifice,10 days,3 weeks,6 weeks and 24 weeks,the grafts was taken out,and the regeneration was confirmed by the haematoxylin-eosin staining. Results ECM resulting from different dedellularization process in the urethras are different in the numbers of remaining cellular elements.There are no cellular elements in the 7th and the 9th group of the tissues.The cellular elements was not found by the scanning electronic microscopy in the ECM getting from the optimum methods.In the animals with replacement,histologic examination showed complete regeneration 24 weeks post operation. Conclusions The best way to prepare the ECM of urethra is A 3B 2C 3.

Objective The forensic application of Lefort aqua regia digestion method detecting diatom in rabbits’s organs. Methods Using the Lefort aqua regia digestion-membrane ifltrition-SEM observation method and the traditional acid digestion-centrifugation-light microscopy observation method to detect diatom of drowning or postmortem immersion rabbits’s organs(lung,liver,kidney), and make statistical analysis of diatom number, consuming time, digestive capability and ifne structure of diatoms. Results The diatom number of Lefort aqua regia digestion method was superior to conventional acid digestion method, with the difference being statistically signiifcant (P<0.05), as well as consuming time, but have undifferentiated of drowning grounp(P>0.05), and have a better observation effect. Conclusion The Lefort aqua regia digestion method for diatom extraction was helpful for diatom identiifcation., and useful in drowning test by conventional and economicly.

Objective To study the effects of shRNA-CtBP2 on the growth of prostate cancer PC3 cells. Methods There were three experimental groups in this study,which include blank control group, empty plasmid transfected group and transfected shRNA group. CtBP2 mRNA sequence is targeted by 3 pairs of designed interfering shRNA to built shRNA-Ct-BP2 recombinant plasmid then it is transfected into PC3 cells. Reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) and Western blot assays were used to detect the transcription and expression levels of CtBP2 mRNA and protein, respective-ly. PC3l proliferation was measured by MTT assay. Results Builting shRNA-CtBP2 recombinant plasmid and transfect-ing PC3 cells were successful. Transcription and expression levels of CtBP2 mRNA and protein were significantly decreased in shRNA-CtBP2 transfected PC3 cells. After CtBP2 silencing, cell proliferation was blocked in the shRNA-CtBP2 cells compared to that of blank control group (P<0.01). Conclusion shRNA-CtBP2 could significantly inhibit CtBP2 expres-sion, suppress the growth of PC3 cells, which suggests that CtBP2 may be a new target for PCa gene therapy.

Aim To evaluate the reversal effect of 2-deoxy-D-glucose ( 2-DG ) on multidrug resistance ( MDR) by observing the uptake change of 99m Tc-MIBI in HNE-1/DDP cells, and to explore its mechanism. Methods The uptake of 99m Tc-MIBI in HNE-1/DDP cells under different concentrations of 2-DG was detec-ted by γ-counter, and the clearance rates of 99m Tc-MI-BI in HNE-1 cells and HNE-1/DDP cells after treated with 2-DG (10 mmol·L-1 ) were compared. The con-tent of ATP in HNE-1/DDP cells was detected after treated with 2-DG. P-glycoprotein ( P-gp ) and multi-drug resistance-associated proteins ( MRP ) expression were measured by Western blot. Apoptotic HNE-1/DDP cells treated with DDP alone or combined with 2-DG (10 mmol·L-1 ) were detected by propidium io-dide ( PI ) staining. Results The clearance rate of 99m Tc-MIBI in HNE-1/DDP cells was 54. 8%, which was significantly higher than that ( - 41. 3%) in HNE-1 cells (P<0. 01). The clearance rate of 99mTc-MIBI in HNE-1/DDP cells was -203. 7% after treat-ment with 2-DG ( 10 mmol · L-1 ) , which could be significantly reduced compared with the control group ( P<0. 01 ) . The level of ATP was 55 . 69% compared with the negative control group and the expression of P-gp and MRP protein decreased dramatically in HNE-1/DDP. With the combination of 2-DG and DDP, the ap-optotic rate of HNE-1/DDP cells reached 49 . 4%which was significantly higher than DDP treated group (22. 5%) . Conclusion Multidrug resistance and the reversal effect of 2-DG on multidrug resistance could be evaluated effectively by detecting the uptake change of 99m Tc-MIBI in HNE-1/DDP cells. The mechanism may be related with the inhibition of ATP level and the re-duced expression of P-gp and MRP protein in cancer cells.
