The template-independent teminal transferase activity of Taq DNA polymerase results in an overhanging dA at the 3′end of its PCR products. The pGEMX vector constructed in this experiment forms a single overhanging dT at its 3′end as the result of cleavage with Xcm I restriction enzyme. This vector is very efficient for direct cloning of PCR product obtained by using Taq DNA polymerase.Recombinant colonies can be selected by Blue/white screening. Moreover,insertion fragment can be easily released from the vector simply with either BamH I or Hind III digestion.

Objective To evaluate the radioprotective effects of Quercetin (QN) on 6 Gy X-ray irradiation-induced immune dysfunction and toxicity in hepatic tissue in rats. Methods 40 adult rats were randomly divided into 4 groups. Group Ⅰ was injected intraperitoneally with saline solution for 7 consecutive day sand served as control group. Group Ⅱ was daily injected with QN (40 mg/kg) for 7 consecutive days. Group Ⅲ was irradiated with a single dose of 6 Gy X-ray. Group Ⅳ received a daily injection of QN (40 mg/kg) for 7 consecutive days, and 1 h after the last injection rats were irradiated with a single dose (6 Gy) X-ray irradiation.The animals were sacrificed after 24 h. Lymphocyte transforming rate was measured with MTT method, and CD+4 T, CD+4 T and CD+8/CD+8 T were measured with flow cytometry method. Oxidative conditions in liver were measured with malondialdehyde (MDA), reduced glutathione hormone (GSH), supernxide dismutase (SOD) andglutathione peroxidase (GSH-Px) activities kits. HE staining was used to observe the general condition of rat's liver. Results Lymphocyte transforming rate, CD+4 T, CD+8 T and CD+8/CD+8 T in rats of Group Ⅳ were all higher than those in rats of Group Ⅲ ( F = 8.455,22.644, 18.911, P < 0.01 ). MDA content in the Group Ⅳ rat's liver was lower than that in the Group Ⅲ ( F = 10.059, P < 0.01 ) and antioxidant enzymes SOD, GSH-Px activities were higher than those in Group Ⅲ (F = 23.688,186.046,19.788, P < 0.01 ). The capillary of the hepatic lobules dilated and congested obviously in portal area, involving infiltration of polymorphonuclear leukocytes in the Group Ⅲ, while QN improved this change apparendy. Conclusions Pretreatment with Quercetin improved the irradiated rat's immune functions and protected the irradiated rats from oxidative stress to some extent.

BACKGROUND:So far the positive or negative effects of mesenchymal stem cel s on tumor growth and metastasis are under discussion. OBJECTIVE:To explore the mechanism of bone marrow mesenchymal cel s in promoting lung cancer metastasis. METHODS:Primary rat bone marrow mesenchymal stem cel s were obtained by direct adherence method of the whole bone marrow, and differential adherence combined with digestion control method was performed to purify cel s. Lung cancer cel lines were cultured, and the effects of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cel s on the migration, invasion and metastasis of lung cancer cel s were observed by scratch test, cel invasion and migration assays. Orthotopic lung cancer models were established in rats and bone marrow mesenchymal stem cel s were seeded onto the left lung of rats. Then, pathological changes of lung tissues were observed at 14 days after transplannation. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:After the scratch test, the migration rate of lung cancer cel s became higher, and the scratches healed with time. And after cel transplantation, the number of migrated lung cancer cel s increased, as wel as the ability of lung cancer cel s penetrating the Matrigel was strengthened. Besides, fibrous connective tissues could be found around the lung cancer tissues, and necrosis with distinct boundary and large tumor nuclei;the metastatic tissues showed obvious infiltration and necrosis with large tumor nuclei. These results suggest that bone marrow mesenchymal stem cel s can promote the invasion, migration and metastasis of lung cancer cel lines.

BACKGROUND:Mesenchymalstem cels have pluripotent differentiation, and can promote cel engraftment and immune regulation. Therefore,we attempt to use human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cels as anew source for treatment of lung cancer by exploringcelisolation, identification and transplantation combined with chemotherapyforlung cancer in mice.
OBJECTIVE:To investigate the isolation and identification of human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cels and its transplantation combined with chemotherapy for lung cancer inmice.
METHODS:Human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cels were isolated from fresh umbilical cord of newborns and identified using tissue culture and enzyme digestion. Twenty Balb/C nude mouse models of lung cancer were randomly divided into two groups:mice in chemotherapy group were given chemotherapy, and those incombinedgroup given combination of chemotherapy with human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cel transplantation.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Compared with the chemotherapy group, the gastrointestinal tract was rosy and shiny, intestinal mucosa was smooth and complete, and tumor mass and blood indexes significantly decreased in thecombinedgroup (P< 0.05). To conclude, mature human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cels can be obtained by tissueculture and enzyme digestion, andthecel transplantation combinedwith chemotherapy can significantly reduce gastrointestinal tract damage and themake peripheral hemogram in a stable level.
