Objective To clone the human gene of Hepatitis B virus e antigen binding protein 1 (HBEBP1), which was screened with yeast two-hybrid system and bioinformatics techniques, to construct prokaryotic expression vector of pET-32a(+)-HBEBP1, and to induce the expression of recombinant protein in E. coli BL21. Methods The DNA fragment of HBEBP1 of about 372bp was amplified by reverse transcription PCR (RT-PCR), in which the mRNA was taken from HepG2 cells as the template, and cloned into pGEM-T vector. After restriction enzyme digestion identification and sequencing, the correct target DNA fragment was inserted into inducible prokaryotic expression vector pET-32a(+) and then transformed into competent E. coli BL21. By restriction enzyme digestion and PCR, the positive transformed clones were identified and induced with IPTG to obtain fusion protein. The HBEBP1 fusion protein was analyzed by Western blotting hybridization. Results The 372bp DNA fragment of HBEBP1 was amplified by RT-PCR. The recombinant expression vector pET-32a(+)-HBEBP1 was constructed successfully. After transformation with pET-32a(+)-HBEBP1 and induction with IPTG, the recombinant target protein of about 33kD was obtained, which was consistent with our anticipation. Western blotting assay showed that the protein had good specificity. Conclusions The recombinant prokaryotic expression vector pET-32a(+)-HBEBP1 is constructed, and the HBEBP1 gene is cloned successfully. The HBEBP1 fusion protein could be expressed in prokaryotic expression system of E. coli. These results lays a foundative for studying the immunogenicity and the biological characteristics of the HBEBP1 protein.

Objective:To observe the interventative effect of Ziyin-Huatan Decoction by regulating exosomes on subcutaneous tumor of mice with gastric cancer. Methods:MGC-803 cells were randomly divided into exosome control group, low-dose group and high-dose group. The low-dose group and high-dose group were intervened with Ziyin-Huatan Decoction of 25 μg/ml and 100 μg/ml respectively. After 48 hours, the exosomes secreted by MGC-803 cells in each group were extracted. Twenty BALB/c male mice were randomly divided into exosome control group, low-dose Ziyin-Huatan Decoction group, high-dose Ziyin-Huatan Decoction group and blank control group, with 5 mice in each group. Except for the blank control group, the mice in the other groups were injected with exosomes extracted from the cells of the corresponding group through the orbit, 10 μg/time for each mouse, once every other day, a total of 15 times; the blank control group was injected with the same amount of PBS. Then SGC-7901 cells were inoculated into mice to establish a tumor model. The tumorigenic rate and body weight of mice were observed. The levels of CD31, VEGF and bFGF in tumor tissues were detected by immunohistochemistry. Results:Compared with the blank control group, the tumor weight [(170.00 ± 10.00) mg vs. (343.33 ± 20.82) mg] and the expression of CD31 (37.43 ± 0.55 vs. 63.30 ± 0.85), VEGF (11.37 ± 1.19 vs. 70.30 ± 0.72) and bFGF (43.77 ± 1.53 vs. 84.97 ± 1.86) in the high-dose Ziyin-Huatan Decoction group significantly decreased ( P<0.05). Compared with exosome control group, the expressions of CD31, VEGF and bFGF in low and high dose Ziyin-Huatan Decoction groups were decreased ( P<0.05). Conclusion:Ziyin-Huatan Decoction can significantly inhibit the growth of subcutaneous tumor of gastric cancer in mice by regulating exudation, which may be related to the inhibition of tumor angiogenesis.

Objective To study relationships between myocardial injury and the levels of serum complement C3, C4 and C5b-9 in patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS). Methods A retrospectively analysis was conducted. 170 ACS patients [including 110 cases of ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) and 60 cases of non-ST-segment elevation acute coronary syndrome (NSTE-ACS)] with ischemic chest pain or chest discomfort onset within the prior 12 hours admitted to the cardiology department of Tianjin Union Medicine Center from January 2014 to July 2016 were enrolled. Thirty-six healthy cases were enrolled as control during the same time. The levels of serum complement C3, C4 and C5b-9 on 1, 3 and 7 days after admission and myocardial function indicators were analyzed. Major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) and readmission rate were analyzed after 1 year follow-up. The correlation between serum complement levels and myocardial function indicators was analyzed by Pearson correlation analysis. Results ① The levels of serum C3, C4 and C5b-9 on the first day in NSTE-ACS group and STEMI group were significantly higher than control group [C3 (g/L): 1.04±0.33, 1.26±0.35 vs. 0.39±0.21, C4 (g/L): 0.31±0.14, 0.33±0.10 vs. 0.19±0.07, C5b-9 (g/L): 575.46±197.26, 659.26±160.77 vs. 501.40±141.51, all P < 0.05]. There were no changes of serum C3, C4 in NSTE-ACS group, but C5b-9 decreased after a peak (g/L: 700.63±218.42) at 3 days. Serum complements in STEMI group reached peak on the third day [C3 (g/L): 1.37±0.33, C4 (g/L): 0.42±0.12, C5b-9 (g/L): 754.72±136.22]. The levels of serum C4 and C5b-9 in STEMI group were higher than NSTE-ACS group on the third and seventh day. ② The levels of troponin T (TnT), creatine kinase-MB (CK-MB), solution intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (sICAM-1), global registry of acute coronary events (GRACE) scores and percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) numbers in STEMI group were significantly higher than those in the NSTE-ACS group, which were as opposite as left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF). However, there were no significant differences in levels of serum N-terminal pro-brain nitric peptide (NT-proBNP), Fibrinogen (Fib), readmission rate and incidence of MACE between STEMI and NSTE-ACS groups. ③ According to GRACE, patients with ACS were divided into low risk group (≤ 108 scores, 26 cases), intermediate risk group (109-140 scores, 61 cases) and highest group (> 140 scores, 83 cases). TnT and sICAM-1 in intermediate risk group were significantly increased as compared with low risk group. Levels of TnT, sICAM-1, C3, C4 and C5b-9 in the highest group were significantly higher than the low and intermediate risk groups, however the lowest LVEF was found in the highest group. ④ It was shown by Pearson correlation analyses that levels of serum C3, C4, C5b-9 were positively correlated with TnT (r value was 0.481, 0.367, 0.292, respectively, all P <0.01), sICAM-1 (r value was 0.298, 0.249, 0.365, respectively, all P < 0.01), but negatively correlated with LVEF (r value was -0.384, -0.260, -0.200, respectively, all P < 0.01). In addition sICAM-1 positively correlated with TnT (r = 0.536, P = 0.000), but negatively correlated with LVEF (r = -0.341, P = 0.001). Conclusions Serum complements activation was found in the acute phase of ACS patients. Serum complement C3, C4 and C5b-9 are involved in the process of myocardial injury, and may reflect severity of myocardial injury and cardiac dysfunction.
