Objective To reveal the important role of aberrant splicing in cancer and to identify differential expressing isoforms and differential alternative splicing events between acute myeloid leukemia ( AML) and chronic myeloid leukemia (CML).Methods Based on whole transcriptome sequencing of CML (K562) and AML(THP1 and HL-60) cells,TopHat, MATS and Cufflinks were used to identify alternative splicing events and alternative splicing isoforms and analyze differenti -al expression of isoforms and genes .Results A total of 130 genes were identified to be highly expressed in CML and 80 genes in AML cells .Also, 337 differential expressed isoforms and 35 specific alternative splicing events between AML and CML cells were identified.Conclusion There are significant differences in alternative splicing isoforms and events between AML and CML cells.Leukemia-associated alternative splicing events can be used as potential tumor markers or drug targets.

Objective:To investigate the expression of C-X-C chemokine ligand-14 (CXCL14) and epidermal growth factor receptor (EG-FR) in human gastric cancer and to analyze the relationship of CXCL14 with clinicopathological features. Methods:The expression of CXCL14 and EGFR was detected by Immunohistochemical SP method in 121 cases of gastric cancer tissue, 62 cases of the adjacent non-tumor gastric mucosa, and 60 cases of allogeneic non-tumor gastric mucosa. Results:The positive rates of CXCL14 and EGFR expres-sion were 80.17%and 48.76%in gastric cancer, respectively, and both were significantly higher in the adjacent non-tumor gastric mu-cosa and allogeneic non-tumor gastric mucosa. The differences were significant (P<0.01). Overexpression of CXCL14 was closely corre-lated with the depth of cancer invasion, differentiation, and clinical stage, and the differences were significant (P<0.05). Overexpres-sion of EGFR was correlated with cancer differentiation, lymph node metastasis, and clinical stage. The differences were significant (P<0.05). Based on the Spearman correlation analysis, the expression of CXCL14 and EGFR in gastric cancer was positively correlated (rs=0.195, P<0.05). Conclusion:Abnormal CXCL14 expression in gastric cancer may be associated with the occurrence and development of gastric cancer. CXCL14 expression is positively correlated with EGFR expression, suggesting that the two have a synergistic effect in gas-tric cancer development.

Objective: Fetal monitoring is extremely important in perinatal care. Analysis of cardiotocogragh(CTG) can suppose if the fetus is lack of oxygen, distressed, acidosis, etc. in order to take measures timely. Methods: We have designed Meticare analysis software package to analyze 867 pieces of CTG data, and researched the relationship between short term variation (STV) and basal heart rate(BHR) by statistics, and short time monitoring analysis based on STV. Results: The amplitude of fetal heart rate curve variation(long term variation) tended to decrease when BHR increasing, with the negative correlation and regression equation STV = 9.866-0.02×BHR. Positive correlation exists between 5 and 10 mimute-STV, with the regression equation STV_(10min)=2.861-0.596×STV_(5min).Conclusion: STV calculated by 5 minutes CTG data can forecast the one by 10 minutes data as a reference demanded by Dawes & Redman criterion. If fetal doppler contains STV analysis function, out-patient fetal heart auscultation will be more significant. After 30 weeks pregnancy, with the STV decreasing, fetal distress, asphyxia, low birth weight, and even mortality increasing. BHR increasing should cause attention that STV might decrease, when monitoring with no analysis functional devices or fetal dopplars.

Objective To analyze the impact and its mechanism of down-regulation of AnnexinA2 expression on prostate cancer(PCa) invasion and metastasis.Methods The expression of AnnexinA2 in three prostate cancer cell lines with different metastasis ability,including LNCaP (lower metastasis ability),PC3 (lower metastasis ability),C4-2B (higher metastasis ability) were detected by Western blot.The correlations between the expression of AnnexinA2 and the metastasis ability of prostate cancer cells were also evaluated.The siRNA was used in PC3 cells to down-regulate the expression of AnnexinA2,the cell proliferation assay was performed by MTT method,the cell apoptosis level was detected by flow cytometry,the expression of MMP-2 and MMP-9 were detected by Westrn blot,the in vitro invasiveness of PC3 was detected by transwell cabinet test,and the migration ability of PC3 cells was detected by scratch test,respectively.Results The grayscale value of AnnexinA2 expression in C4-2B cells is 0.22,in contrast with the internal reference,which was obviously lower than those of LNCaP and PC3 cells with lower metastasis potency(relative grey value is 0.93 and 0.95,respectively.P<0.01).After RNAi was used in PC3 cells to down-regulate the expression of AnnexinA2,the growth became faster for PC3-ANXA2-siRNA cells than PC3,PC3-Lip and PC3-empty vector cells (P<0.05).After RNAi was used in PC3 cells to down-regulate the expression of AnnexinA2,the ratio of apoptosis was detected by flowcytometry in PC3,PC3-Lip,PC3-empty vector and PC3-ANXA2-siRNA cells,and the apoptosis ratio in PC3-ANXA2-siRNA cells was the highest.However,the difference was not significant compare to others (P>0.05).After RNAi was used in PC3 cells to downregulate the expression of AnnexinA2,the expression of AnnexinA2 in PC3-ANXA2-siRNA cells was decreased while the expression of MMP-2 and MMP-9 were increased.After RNAi was used in PC3 cells to down-regulate the expression of AnnexinA2,invasiveness of PC3-ANXA2-siRNA cells detected by transwell cabinet test was increased in vitro,and migration of PC3-ANXA2-siRNA cells detected by scratch test was increased in vitro.Conclusions The down-regulation of expression of AnnexinA2 could increase the invasive and metastatic ability of prostate cancer,and this may attribute to the up-regulation of MMP-2 and MMP-9 expression in prostate cancer.
