Objective: To investigate the relationship between P27，P53 and PCNA expression in human gastric carcinoma tissues and clinicopathological parameters. Methods: The expression of P27，P53 and PCNA in 62 human gastric carcinoma tissues was examined with immunohistochemistry SP method. Results: Positive rates of P27，P53 and PCNA expression were 37.1％, 40.4%，83.9％. P27 expression was related with Bormann type, infiltrative depth, lymph node and distant metastasis and clinical stage. P53 expression was related with sex of patients, distant metastasis and clinical stage. PCNA expression was related with age of patients and infiltrative depth of tumor. P27 positive expression group was higher than negative group as to 5-year survival. P27 expression was in reverse relation with PCNA expression. Conclusion: The expression of P27, P53 and PCNA may be regarded as an important marker in judging malignant degree of gastric carcinoma,distant metastasis and prognosis.

Objective To investigate the mechanism that mediates the inhibitory effect of Xinfeng Capsule(XFC)on interleukin(IL)-1β-induced impairment of chondrocytes.Methods XFC-medicated serum was collected from SD rats with XFC gavage,and its optimal concentration for chondrocyte treatment was determined using Cell Counting Kit-8 assay and flow cytometry.Dual luciferase reporter analysis was performed to analyze the targeting relationship between miR-502-5p and TRAF2.In cultured human chondrocytes induced with IL-1β,the effects of transfection with miR-502-5p inhibitor and XFC-medicated serum,alone or in combination,on expression levels of IL-1β,tumor necrosis factor-α(TNF-α),IL-4,and IL-10 were examined with ELISA,and the changes in the expressions of collagen type Ⅱ alpha 1(COL2A1),matrix metalloproteinase 13(MMP13),adisintegrin and metalloproteinase with thrombospondin motifs 5(ADAMTS5),and miR-502-5p/TRAF2/NF-κB axis gene expression were detected using RT-qPCR,Western blotting,and immunofluorescence assay.Results In cultured human chondrocytes,treatment with IL-1β significantly decreased the cell viability,increased cell apoptosis rate,lowered miR-502-5p,IL-4,IL-10,and COL2A1 expressions,and enhanced IL-1β,TNF-α,ADAMTS5,MMP13,TRAF2,and NF-κB p65 expressions(P<0.05),and these changes were significantly improved by treatment with XFC-medicated serum at the optimal concentration of 20％(P<0.05).Transfection of the chondrocytes with miR-502-5p inhibitor resulted in elevated expressions of IL-1β,TNF-α,ADAMTS5,MMP13,TRAF2,and NF-κB p65 and lowered expressions of miR-502-5p,IL-4,IL-10,and COL2A1,and XFC-medicated serum obviously reversed the effects of miR-502-5p inhibitor.Conclusion XFC can inhibit IL-1β-induced inflammatory response and ECM degradation in cultured human chondrocytes possibly by regulating the miR-502-5p/TRAF2/NF-κB axis.
