Chinese Journal of Biochemical Pharmaceutics 2015;(6):31-34
Objective To observe inhibitory effect of recombinant human endostatin on the proliferation of vascular tumor endothelial cells and to investigate its possible mechanism.Methods Hemangioma endothelial cells were cultured in vitro and different concentrations of endostatin on hemangioma endothelial cell proliferation inhibition were detected by MTT method.Effect of recombinant human endostatin on endothelial cell cycle was detected by flow cytometry.The expression of VEGF, KDR mRNA in hemangioma endothelial cell were detected by Real-time RT PCR. Results Recombinant human endostatin concentrations in 24 h, 48 h and 72 h after three period during which the hemangioma endothelial cells inhibited significantly( P <0.01 ) , and there was a clear dose dependence, IC50 was 355 μg/mL.Recombinant human vascular endostatin ( 250 μg/mL ) intervented for 24 hours, the proportion of cells in G0/G1 phase(94.23 ±1.66)%, compared with control group (90.63 ±1.14)%, had significantly difference (P<0.05).Compared with the control group, the difference of the expression of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) was statistically significant (P<0.05) as well as Flk-1 (P <0.05).Conclusion Recombinant human endostatin does not only have inhibitory effect of hemangioma endothelial cell cycle, but also can inhibit the expression of VEGF and FLK-1.

Objective To investigate the integrated backscatter(IBS) changes of retina in hypertensive disease patients to offer the reference to clinician for ocular fundus changes of hypertensive disease.Methods One hundred chronic hypertension patients (100 eyes) were divided into 4 groups by clinical stages:① gradeⅠ,28 persons (28 eyes);② grade Ⅱ,27 persons (27 eyes);③ grade Ⅲ,24 persons (24 eyes);④ grade Ⅳ,21 persons (21 eyes).Thirty normal persons of 30 eyes were the control group.Their IBS values were measured on nose side of retina,and the correction IBS values(IBS%) were calculated.Results With the deterioration of hypertensive disease,the IBS(29.48±0.09,32.50±0.04,34.62±0.39,36.48±0.46,37.52±0.43) and IBS%[(68.50±2.11)%,(72.03±0.57)%,(74.29±0.77)%,(76.06±1.43)%,(77.45±0.75)%] of retina were gradually increased.The statistical difference were found among various groups(P=0.000).Conclusions With the deterioration of hypertensive retinopathy,the IBS and IBS% increased gradually.The IBS technique is a useful method to assess the retinopathy of hypertension.

BACKGROUND:With the development of genetic engineering and tumor molecular biology, gene therapy for tumors has become a new treatment modality.
OBJECTIVE:To explore the effect of the KDR gene silencing on the proliferation and invasion capacity of breast cancer MCF-7 cel s.
METHODS:Interfering RNA (siRNA) sequences for smal molecule KDR gene was designed and transferred into human breast cancer MCF-7 cel s. Then, RT-PCR and western blot assay were used to detect the KDR mRNA and protein expression. Flow cytometry, cel counting kit-8 test and Transwel test were employed to detect the cel cycle, proliferative capacity and invasion capacity of breast cancer MCF-7 cel s after the KDR gene silencing.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:After 48 hours of KDR silencing, the mRNA and protein expressions of KDR in MCF-7 cel s were decreased obviously;MCF-7 cel s arrested at G0/G1 stage and the number of cel s at S stage was reduced. Cel proliferation was inhibited significantly. The amount of cel s passing through the filtering membrane became less. After KDR gene silencing, the proliferation and invasion of breast cancer MCF-7 cancer stem cel s were inhibited remarkably, indicating that KDR gene silencing may be a new target for the effective treatment of breast cancer.

Objective To investigate the effect of sleeve gastrectomy on the intestinal barrier of obesity rats fed with high-fat diet.Methods Thirty obesity rats fed with high-fat diet were randomly divided into three groups including common diet group (CD,n=10),sham operation group (SO,n=10) and sleeve gastrectomy group (SG,n=10).The lactulose/mannitol ratios (L/M) in 24-hour urine and endotoxin in portal vein were evaluated four weeks after surgery.The levels of tight junction proteins including claudin-1 and occludin in intestinal mucosa were analyzed by western blot.Results The body weight of SG group was significantly decreased than those of CD group (P<0.001) and SO group (P<0.001) four weeks after surgery.The L/M ratio in 24-hour urine of SG group was significantly lower than those of CD group (P<0.001) and SO group (P<0.01).The endotoxin level in portal vein of SG group was significantly lower than those of CD group (P<0.01) and SO group (P<0.05).The claudin-1 level in intestinal mucosa of SG group was significantly higher than those of CD group (P<0.001) and SO group (P<0.01) four weeks after surgery.The occludin level in intestinal mucosa of SG group was significantly higherthan those of CD group (P<0.001) and SO group (P<0.001).Conclusions Sleeve gastrectomy can reduce body weight,L/M ratio in 24-hour urine and endotoxin level in portal vein of obesity rat fed with high-fat diet and increase the levels of claudin-1 and occludin in intestinal mucosa.
