OBJECTIVE:To evaluate the effects of 3 kinds of serum containing blood-activating and stasis-eliminating TCM compound formulas on aggressive behavior,Janus kinase (JAK)/signal transduction and transcriptional activator (STAT) pathway of glioma U251 cells. METHODS:Rats were randomly divided into normal saline group (5 mL/kg),Taohong Siwu decoction group(5.7 g/kg),Xuefu Zhuyu decoction(8.5 g/kg)and Didang decoction(2.8 g/kg),calculated by crude drug,intragastrically administrated once a day,for 10 d. 10% drug-containing serum culture medium was prepared after 2 h of last administration. After 10% drug-containing serum culture medium intervening U251 cells for 1 week,Transwell method was conducted to detect the cell invasion rate, Western blot was adopted to detect the metal matrix protease 2 (MMP-2), MMP-9, phosphorylated JAK2 (p-JAK2),phosphorylated STAT3(p-STAT3)protein expression;and real-time fluorescence quantitative polymerase chain reaction method was used to detect MMP-2,MMP-9 mRNA expression. RESULTS:Compared with blank serum,Xuefu Zhuyu decoction drug-containing serum can reduce cell invasion rate (P<0.05),decrease the MMP-2,MMP-9 mRNA and its protein expression, and p-JAK2,p-STAT3 protein expression in cells (P<0.05 or P<0.01),while there was no significant difference in above-men-tioned indexes in Taohong Siwu decoction drug-containing serum group and Didang drug-containing serum group(P>0.05). CON-CLUSIONS:In the 3 kinds of blood-activating and stasis-eliminating TCM compound formulas,Xuefu Zhuyu decoction shows sig-nificant invasive effect on inhibiting U251 cells;the mechanism may be related to inhibiting the activation of JAK2/STAT3 signal pathway and decreasing MMP-2,MMP-9 gene and protein expressions.

Objective To investigate the effects of GGNBP2 on proliferation,migration and invasion of human gli-oma U251 cells and the potential mechanism. Methods U251 glioma cells were transfected with lentiviral vector carrying GGNBP2 to establish a stable overexperssion of GGNBP2 in U251 cell line. After verification of the efficiency of transfec-tion by real-time PCR, Western Blot, PCR and CCK-8 were applied to detect the proliferation of U251 cells. The Tran-swell chamber assay was applied to measure the migration and invasion of human U251 glioma cells. Western blot was applied to measure protein levels of AKT, p-AKT, PCNA and MMP9. Result The stable U251 glioma cell line overex-pressing GGNBP2 was successfully established. Compared with the control group, overexpression of GGNBP2 significant-ly inhibited the proliferation(P<0.05),invasion(57±6 vs. 203±6,205±7,F=512.4,P < 0.05)and migration (74±7 vs. 254±14,248±13,F=242.5,P<0.05) of U251 cells. The protein expression levels of p-AKT (F=45.4, P<0.05), PCNA (F=348.5, P<0.05) and MMP-9 (F=88.7, P<0.05) in GGNBP2 group were markedly decreased compared with the control group. Conclusion GGNBP2 may suppress the proliferation, invasion and migration of glioma though down-regulation of p-AKT, which in turn inhibits PCNA and MMP-9 expression.

Objective To use clustering analysis to help physicians detect abnormal parameters in radiotherapy treatment plans and improve the efficiency of plan verification. Methods From 2010 to 2015, 835 breast cancer treatment plans for using 4?field hybrid intensity?modulated radiotherapy from MOSAIQ were collectted. Fractional dose, beam angle, and monitor unit were used as featured parameters of a treatment plan to generate a dataset. The K?means clustering algorithm based on principal component analysis was used to perform a clustering analysis of the dataset and divide the dataset into different clusters. The outliers of clusters were automatically detected based on the distance threshold. The outlier?contained treatment plans were manually verified by physicians to determine the accuracy of clustering analysis in detection of abnormal plans. Results In the clustering analysis, the sample space composed by parameters of treatment plans for breast cancer was divided into 4 clusters, 3 of which had outliers detected. In the targeted treatment plans, 3 plans became outliers because of special target volume and the other 4 plans needed improvement. Conclusions Clustering analysis is effective to help physicians to independently verify treatment plans.
