Tianjin Medical Journal 2014;(2):101-104
Objective To construct the luciferase reporter gene vector of cell division cycle 2 (Cdc2) gene promoter and determine its transcriptional activity. Methods Primers were designed based on human Cdc2 promoter sequence from UCSC software. Then Cdc2 promoter from human genome DNA was replicated. After pGL3-Basic vector and Cdc2 promoter were digested with restriction enzymes SacⅠand XhoⅠseparately, Cdc2 promoter was inserted into pGL3-Basic vector. The recombinant plasmid named pGL3-Cdc2-promoter was transiently co-transfected into U2OS cells with control vector pRL-SV40, and then the activity of dual luciferase was detected. Results pGL3-Cdc2-promoter was constructed successfully. The restriction analysis and sequencing proved the entirely correct sequencing results. The luciferase activity was higher in pGL3-Cdc2-promoter/pRL-SV40 group than that of pGL3-Basic/pRL-SV40 group (1.591 5±0.199 8 vs 0.049 9±0.010 4). Conclusion pGL3-Cdc2-promoter can be transcribed and activated in U2OS cells. This study provided an important basis for screening and evaluation of anticancer drugs.

AIM: To investigate the changes of cardiac function, oxidative stress and apoptosis in myocardium of rat model of heart failure induced by adriamycin (ADR). METHODS: At the end of the study, we observed content of malondialdehyde (MDA), activity of superoxide dismutase (SOD) and apoptosis. Expression of P53 protein and p53 mRNA were measured with immunohistochemical method and RT-PCR, respectively. RESULTS: Our data showed that content of MDA increased, activity of SOD decreased and apoptosis in myocardium happened while cardiac function decreased after ADR treatment. p53 gene expression and P53 protein obviously increased in heart failure group. CONCLUSION: There were oxidative stress and apoptosis occurred significantly in a model of heart failure induced by ADR. p53 gene might play an important role in the apoptosis. Correlation analyses suggested that apoptosis in myocardium is related to oxidative stress in ADR-induced heart failure.

Two patients with neonatal diabetes tested as V59A and V59M mutations were chosen for the study. Clinical data were analyzed retrospectively. The results showed that the patient with V59A mutation was characteristic of spasm and hyperglycemia at the age of three month, and treated with insulin for a long time as unresponsive to the glibenclamide at the beginning. Myasthenia and delay of development were observed during the follow-up. At the age of two years, glibenclamide was tried for the second time with a high dose and fairly-controlled glucose level. The patient with V59M mutation was diagnosed with diarrhea, hyperglycemia, and ketosis at the age of two month, and was responsive to glibenclamide at a relatively low dose with well-controlled glucose level. These results suggest that KCNJ11 V59M mutation would show some milder clinical manifestations and better glibenclamide efficacy as compared with V59A mutation.
