Purpose To observe the effect of MK on proliferation, migration and angiogenesis of human umbilical vein endothelial HU-VECs cells and to explore the role of MK in tumor angiogenesis. Methods siRNA targeting MK was used to downregulate MK expres-sion in human breast cancer cell line MDA-MB-231. Then, the experiment was divided into three groups: the untreated group, the empty vector transfection group and MK gene interference group. CCK-8 assay was used to detect the endothelial cells proliferation, tr-answell method was for detection of endothelial cell migration numbers, and matrigel in vitro small tube formation assay was used to sur-vey the state of tube formation. Expression of MK in siRNA transfection was identified by RT-PCR and Western blot. Results The MK gene interference group showed lower cell proliferation activity, less number of migration of cells and tube formation than the other two groups (P<0. 05). Conclusion Low-expressed MK in human breast cancer cell line MDA-MB-231 can inhibit proliferation, mi-gration and angiogenesis of endothelial cells, which shows that MK may play an important role in tumor angiogenesis.

Abstract: A new selaginellin derivative named as selaginellin S (1) was isolated from the whole plants of Selaginella pulvinata (Hook. et Grev.) Maxim. (Selaginellaceae), together with a known one (selaginellin M, 2). Compounds 1 and 2 were separated and purified by silica gel and Sephadex LH-20 column chromatography. Their structures were determined on the basis of extensive spectroscopic analysis including IR, MS, 1D and 2D NMR experiments, as well as ECD calculations. Compound 1 is a key intermidiant in the biosynthesis pathway of selaginellins. Compound 2 is first reported in this plant.

Objective To investigate the difference of gene expression in two human gastric adenocarcinoma cell lines, 5-fluorouracil resistant cell line SGC7901/R and its parental cell line SGC7901, and to screen related genes of JAK/STAT signaling pathway by gene chip. Methods The mRNAs of two cell lines were extracted and purified. The two cDNA probes were made from these two mRNAs which were labelled by (biotin-)16-dUTP, hybridized with human JAK/STAT signaling pathway gene array and scanned for intensity, respectively. The acquired images were analyzed by software. Different expression genes were then screened out. The mRNA expressions of Stat3, NF-?B1 and bcl-x were analyzed by semi-quantitative RT-PCR, (respectively.) Results A parallel comparison between the gene profiles of JAK/STAT signalling pathway in two cell lines showed that a total of 70 genes were screened out whose expressive level was more than 2 folds in 5-flurouracil resistant cell line SGC7901/R and its parental cell line SGC7901. Among these genes, 40 were upregulated and the other 30 were down-regulated. The results of RT-PCR were consistent with those of microarray scanning. Conclusions The knowledge of gene expression profile of JAK/STAT signaling pathway, which was changed in 5-fluorouracil resistant cell line of human gastric adenocarcinoma, has proven to be useful for illustrating the multi-drug resistance mechanisms of gastric cancer.

Objective To explore the effects and relationship of tert-butyl hydroperoxide (t-BHP) and hypoxia in transient ischemia-like attack (TIA-like) in Kunming mice.Methods Fifty-six mice were randomly divided into normal saline group (group A), t-BHP group (group B), t-BHP plus hypoxia group (group C) and model group (group D). Fourteen mice in group D were injected t-BHP (0.11 mol/L, 10 ml/kg) through tail vein with an interval of 24 hrs to induce TIA-like attack. The average time of TIA-like was ( 3.7? 1.1) days, and this time was used as experimental evidence to collect blood sample in other groups. Hemorheological indexes before TIA-like attack were observed in different experimental conditions.Results Compared with group A, the whole blood viscosity at shear rate 100S-1, 1S-1 and Fibrinogen were significantly increased in group B and group C (all P

Objective To explore the factors affecting results of alanine aminotransferase(ALT)preliminary screening by using dry chemical method in blood donors,so as to establish standards of ALT preliminary screening and reduce waste of blood. Methods A total of 21 065 blood specimen of blood donors in Blood Center of Maoming City were collected from January to June 2013.The influences of specimen hemolysis,lipidemia,different sample amount and waiting time after adding sample on the detec-tion results of ALT by using dry chemical method were comparatively analysed,and standardized procedures and established appro-priate limits of ALT preliminary screening according to the results.Results The specimen hemolysis affected test results of ALT, which was not obvious when the hemolysis rate was less than or equal to 0.5%.There was no obvious interference of lipidemia on ALT test.When the sample amount was (32±3)μL or the waiting time after adding sample was 10 to 40 seconds,the detection re-sults of ALT were acceptable.The standard limit of ALT was less than or equal to 40 U/L of female and less than or equal to 45 U/L of male.Conclusion Hemolysis,sample amount and waiting time after adding sample can influence the results of ALT detec-ted by using dry chemical method,while lipidemia had no interference on ALT test.Standardizing operation and reasonably setting normal limits standard may ensure the accuracy and stability of determination,save blood resources,further ensure blood safety, which should be worthy of wide application.

Purpose To observe the effects of midkine ( MK) on human breast cancer cell line MDA-MB-231 angiogenesis in vitro, and to explore its mechanism. Method shRNA interference was performed to silence the expression of MK in MDA-MB-231 cells, and Western blot was used to identify the expression of MK and EPCR. After MK and EPCR knockdown, or treated with anti protease-activated receptor 1 (PAR1) antibody, the culture medium of MDA-MB-231 cells were collected and the conditioned medium were pre-pared. Human umbilical vein endothelial cells ( HUVECs) were cultured with conditioned medium, and the endothelial cells prolifera-tion was detected by CCK-8 assay, cell migration was detected by transwell method, vasculogenic activity was assessed by Matrigel-based tube formation assay. Results After knockdown of MK, the protein level of EPCR was decreased in MDA-MB-231 cells. Com-pared with control, knockdown of MK and EPCR decreased the proliferation, migration and angiogenesis ability of HUVECs significant-ly (P<0. 05), and the effect of EPCR knockdown group was stronger than MK knockdown group (P<0. 05). After treated with anti-PAR1 antibody, the proliferation, migration and angiogenesis ability of HUVECs were decreased compared with control and EPCR knockdown group (P<0. 05). Conclusion MK promotes human breast cancer cell line MDA-MB-231 angiogenesis through EPCR /PAR1 signaling pathway in vitro.
