Journal of Clinical Neurology 2001;14(3):136-137
Objective To explore the relationship between the protein expression of PCNA and biological behavior science in benignant pituita ry adenoma.Methods The protein expression of PCNA in 58 patien ts with pituitary adenoma were determined by ABC immunohistochemical method.Results The PCNA index was significantly higher in the patients with recurrent pituitary adenomas than in nonrecurrent ones(P<0.05).There was no significantly difference between bleeding and unbleeding group,cystic and noncystic group,large type and unlarge type group(P>0.05 respectively) .Conclusion The protein expressions of PCNA reflected the proli ferative activties of pituitary adenomas, and could be taken as one of the indic ators to evaluate recurrence and prognosis of the tumor.

AIM:To explore the effect of glucose-regulated protein 78 (GRP78) on the gastric carcinogenesis. METHODS:GPR78 expression patterns were examined in 34 specimens from gastric carcinoma patients using the immu-nohistochemistry (IHC) assay, and in 10 specimens using Western blotting analysis .In addition, the expression of GPR78 and cyclin D1 was detected in human gastric cancer cell lines SGC 7901 and SGC7901-H78 (overexpressing GRP78) by Western blotting.RESULTS:By IHC assay, GRP78 was found to be highly expressed in the cytoplasm of gastric carcino-mas as compared with the adjacent non-malignant tissues and corresponding normal tissues .GRP78 expression was positive-ly correlated with gender and histological differentiation (P<0.05), but not with age, tumor stage and lymph node metas-tasis (P>0.05).Furthermore, we found that with the increased expression of GRP 78 in SGC7901-H78 cells, the expres-sion of cyclin D1 was also elevated .CONCLUSION:GRP78 might be a key player to be involved in the growth of gastric cancer.
8.Construction of granulocyte-macrophage colony stimulating factor gene eukaryotic expressing plasmid and identification of its biological activity
Journal of Applied Clinical Pediatrics 2004;0(07):-
Objective To construct mouse granulocyte-macrophage colony stimulating factor (mGM-CSF) gene eukaryotic expressing plasmid pcDNA3-GM-CSF, to transfect the recombinant into erythroleukemia cell line FBL-3, and identify their biological activity.Methods GM-CSF gene eukaryotic expressing plasmid was constructed by subclone and recombinant was transfected into FBL-3 cells by electroporation. After screening by G418 and cloning by limiting dilution,we obtained positive cell clones(FBL-3-GM-CSF). PCR and RT-PCR were used to identify the integration and stable expression of GM-SF gene in FBL-3-GM-CSF cells. The biological activity was confirmed by the hematopoietic progenitor cell proliferative assay and hematopoietic progenitor cell colony formation assay. Results Mouse GM-CSF cDNA was amplified from the prokaryotic expressing plasmid PET-30a(+)-GM-CSF by PCR firstly and BamH Ⅰ and EcoRⅠrestriction sites were introduced. The inserted fragment was cut by BamH Ⅰ and EcoR Ⅰ digestion and ligated into pcDNA3 vector. The pcDNA3-GM-CSF eukaryotic expressing plasmid was constructed. The recombinant was cleared with appropriate endoneucleases and sequenced. The findings showed that the orientation of the insert was correct, while no rearrangement or mutation was found. PCR and RT-PCR assay showed that GM-CSF gene had integrated into FBL-3-GM-CSF cells and stably expressed. The hematopoietic progenitor cell proliferative assay and hematopoietic progenitor cell colony formation assay demonstrated that the cultured supernatant of FBL-3-GM-CSF cells of expressing GM-CSF should obviously stimulate proliferation of murine marrow mononuclear cells, and could stimulate hematopoietic progenitor cell colony formation. The number of colony formation was 54.67?4.83. The rate of colony formation was 0.547 %.Conclusions GM-CSF gene eukaryotic expressing plasmid is constructed successfully. A cell clone, which can express stably GM-CSF gene and possess biological activity,is obtained. Our studies have founded the base for the preparation of GM-CSF gene-modified vaccine of tumor cell and the study of feasibility of immune therapy of leukemia.

Objective To investigate the early effect of extracorporeal shockwave(ESW) treatment on distraction osteogenesis of rabbit tibias and its mechanism. Methods 30 adult New Zealand white rabbits were used. After osteotomy of left tibias, improved Orthofix M- 100 bone fixator was applied. After 5 days, bone lengthening of 1 cm was obtained over 10 days. Randomly the animals were divided into ESW and control groups. No ESW treatment was given to the control group. The shock wave was set at 0.54 mJ/mm2 and 1000 shots each time were applied to the central areas in the ESW group. Then the animals were divided into 3 sub- groups, and were killed respectively at 45, 60 and 75 days after osteotomy. During the process, X- ray, bone mineral density (BMD) and histological examinations were conducted for every animal. Results By X- ray and BMD measurements, we found significantly more bone mass increased in the ESW group than in the control group at 45, 60 days after operation (P

Endothelial progenitor cells(EPC),which have the capacity to differentiate into mature endothelial cells,have been found to home to and incorporate into the angiogenic vasculature of growing tumors with high specificity once mobilized into the circulation.Yet the mechanism still remains unclear.EPC have potential as spatial-specific delivery vehicles.Thus,further studies on the mechanisms of tumor neovascularization and tumor therapy in glioma using genetically engineered EPC as angiogenesis-selective vectors will be of help to explore the potential in the basic and clinical application of EPC in(glioma.)
