Objective To investigate the therapeutic effect of astragalus injection onβcells apoptosis of type 1 diabetes mice. Methods 32 mice were randomly divided into a control group, a diabetes group, a small dose group and a large dose group of astraglus. Except the control group, mice in the other 3 groups received intraperitoneal injection of STZ in order to induce diabetic mellitus. Then one week after injection of STZ, mice in the small dose group and the large dose group of astraglus were given 30, 60 g/(kg?d) doses of astragalus injection, while the other 2 groups were injected into an equal volume saline for 4 weeks. Serum NO, inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) and insulin levels were detected by enzyme linked immunosorbent assay method, and apoptosis was measured by using a TUNEL assay. Results Compared with the diabetes group, the serum NO (25.81 ± 2.09μmol/L, 18.84 ± 3.95μmol/L vs. 30.34 ± 2.53μmol/L) and iNOS (21.38 ± 4.48μmol/L, 17.00 ± 3.05μmol/L vs. 26.62 ± 2.48μmol/L) levels were significantly reduced in the small dose group and the large dose group of astragalus (P<0.05);But the insulin levels (312.19 ± 66.91 pmol/L, 330.14 ± 56.06 pmol/L vs. 273.56 ± 43.54 pmol/L) and apoptosis ofβcells (23.00%± 16.58%, 27.38%± 18.79%vs. 31.25%± 18.19%) were not significant different among the experimental groups (P>0.05). Conclusion Astragalus injection can reduce the iNOS activity and NO production, but can not effectively decreasingβcells apoptosis.

Objective To explore the effect of microRNAs 224 and 21 on human glioma stem cells survival and the possible molecular mechanisms.Methods qPCR was used to detect the dysregulated expression of microRNAs in malignant glioma samples, human GBM stem cells, artificially established GBM stem cell lines and human tissues.Caspase 3/7 assay, Annexin V apoptosis/fluorescence assay were performed to determine the effect of miR-21 or miR-224 mimics and inhibitor on cell apoptosis.Living cells count was used to assess miR-21 or miR-224 mimics and inhibitor on cell growth.TargetScan was used to explore potential targets of miR-21 and miR-224, and dual luciferase reporter assay was used to identify whether the 3’UTR of Caspase 3, Caspase 9 and Bim mRNA was a binding target of miR-21 or miR-224.Western blot was used to detect the expression of Caspase 3, Caspase 9 and Bim protein after transfection of miR-21 or miR-224 mimics or inhibitors.Results miR-21 and miR-224 are strongly upregulated in GSC samples, multiple GBM human tumor specimens, and GBM neurosphere stem cell lines ( P<0.05 ) .Caspase 3/7 assay and Annexin V apoptosis/fluorescence assay results showed that miR-224 and miR-21 regulated GSC apoptosis.Living cells count results demonstrated that miR-224 and miR-21 regulated GSC growth.miR-224 and miR-21 regulate pro-apoptotic gene expression by directly targeting Caspase 3, Caspase 9, and Bim 3’-UTRs. Conclusion These results indicate that miR-224 and miR-21 are important physiologic drivers of GSC resistance to apoptosis, providing new points of therapeutic leverage against these treatment-resistant cells.

Objective To explore the differential diagnostic significance of clone analysis for multicentric occurrence (MO) and intrahepatic metastasis (IM) in hepatocellular carcinomas (HCCs).Methods Loss of heterozygosity (LOH) and microsatellite instability (MSI) were analyzed by microsatellite polymorphism test and the integration sites of HBV were assessed by Southern blot in each nodule of the HCCs. The clonalities were then compared between each nodule of the same patient and the diagnosis of MO or IM was concluded. Finally, the results based on clonality analysis were compared with those according to clinicopathological and imaging data. Results According to the results of LOH and MSI in 79 nodules and nontumorous tissue from 35 cases of mutiple HCCs, 5 (14.3%)and 29 cases (82.9 %) were divided into MO and IM, respectively. Both MO and IM presented simultaneously in 1 patient (2.9%). The integration sites of HBV could be analyzed in 77 nodules from 34 multiple HCCs. Among them, 6 (17. 6%) and 27 cases (79.4%) were divided into MO and IM, respectively. Both MO and IM presented simultaneously in 1 patient (2.9%). The classification results of microsatellite polymorphism test and HBV integration sites analysis demonstrated a significant positive correlation (rs = 0.909, P<0.001). Nevertheless, neither the classification of microsatellite polymorphism test nor that of HBV integrate sites analysis was correlated with the discrimination according to clinicopathologic and imaging data (rs=0. 133, P=0. 468, rs =0. 262, P=0. 155, respectively). Recurrence in patients in the MO group occurred significantly later than that in IM cases who were diagnosed by clonality analyses (P=0. 001). Conclusion The clonality analysis based on the results of LOH and MSI or assessments of HBV integrate sites is useful for the differential diagnosis of MO and IM and their treatment and prognosis.
