Objective To investigate the relation between demethylation effect and apoptosis of valproate (VPA) in primary acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) cells in vitro.Methods 10 cases of ALL patients was choosed to acquire leukemia cells.Cell growth curve were assessed by the MTT assay,the apoptosist of primary ALL was analyzed with DNA Ladder and Annexin-V-FITC/PI by flow cytometry.The expression methylation level of p15 was detected by hn-MSPCR,and p15mRNA were detected by RT-PCR.All dates was analyzed by SPSS16.0.Results The 50 % inhibition rate of VPA were 1.898 mmol/L to primary ALL cells assayed by MTT respectively.DNA ladder showed the apoptosis of primary ALL cells increased by adding VPA dose.Annexin-V-FITC/PI tests showed that the apoptosis percentage of primary ALL cells were (0.44±0.04) % in control group,(5.80±0.65) % in 1.0 mmol/L VPA group,(48.46±2.49) % in 2.0 mmol/L VPA group,(76.45±2.98) % in 4.0 mmol/L VPA group,the apoptosis percentage increased significantly (P < 0.05).The demethylation of p15 INK4B gene decreased by adding VPA dose,the expression of p15 mRNA expression increased significantly compared with control group by RT-PCR (P < 0.05).Conclusion It is found that VPA could induce demethylation of p15 INK4B gene,which could upregulate the p15 mRNA expression,due to the apoptosis of primary ALL cells.

OBJECTIVETo explore the effect of ERK1/2 MAPK pathway on the expression of Kv1.5 channel, a voltage-gated potassium ion channel, in rat pulmonary artery smooth muscle cells (PASMCs) and its mechanisms during the process of hypoxia.
METHODSThe PASMCs derived from SD rats were cultivated primarily. The third to sixth generation of PASMCs were divided into 5 groups randomly: (1) Normal group (N); (2) Hypoxic group (H); (3) Demethy sulfoxide(DMSO) group (HD); (4) U0126 group (HU): 10 micromol/L U0126; (5) Anisomycin group (HA): 10 micromol/L anisomycin. There were three dishes of cells in each group. The cells in normal group were cultured in normoxic incubator (5% CO2, 37 degrees C), the cells in other groups were added to 0.05% DMSO in the hypoxic incubator (5% CO2, 2% O2, 37 degrees C), all cells were cultured for 60 h. RT-PCR and Western blot were used to detected the espressions of Kv1.5 mRNA and protein in PASMCs.
RESULTSCompared with N group, the expressions of Kv1.5 mRNA and protein in H, HD and HA groups were reduced significantly (P < 0.05); Compared with H group and HD groups, Kv1.5 mRNA and protein expressions in HU group were increased sharply (P < 0.05). Compared with the HU group, Kv1.5 mRNA and protein expressions in HA groups were significantly lower (P < 0.05).
CONCLUSIONLow oxygen reduced Kv1.5 mRNA and protein expressions, U0126 could resistant the Kv1.5 channel lower expression caused by hypoxia. Anisomycin had no significant effect on Kv1.5 channel expression under hypoxia, but the expression of Kv1.5 was still significantly lower than the normal oxygen group. These data suggest that hypoxia may cause hypoxic pulmonary hypertension by interfering ERK1/2 signaling pathway to inhibit Kv1.5

Aim Modelorganismzebrafishwasusedto study metabolites and metabolite profile of the gallic acid and protocatechuic acid of effective fractions of Polygonum capitatum,and discuss the feasibility and rationality of the model organism zebrafish in the study ofdrugmetabolism.Methods Thetwocomponents were exposed to model organism zebrafish after 24 h of solution treatment by using ultra-high performance liq-uid chromatography-quadrupole-time-of-flight tandem mass spectrometry technology (UHPLC-Q-TOF MS ) method with mass defect filter (MDF ),and the data was treated with data mining software(Metabolite Tool-sTM).Results Afterzebrafishmetabolism,themain reactions of gallic acid and protocatechuic were methyl-ation sulfated. In addition to the two parent com-pounds,six phase II metabolites were identified,in-cluding four methyl sulfate products and two sulfation products.Conclusions Themetabolismofthegallic acid and protocatechuic acid of effective fractions of Polygonum capitatum by zebrafish presents phase Ⅱmetabolites,which is highly consistent with the meta-bolic mechanism of rats.Thus it indicates the rationali-ty of the methods.At the same time,it also provides the experimental basis for clarifying the substance basis of the drug.
