Suspension array technology,a bead-based multiplex assay,allows a fast and automatic detection of multi-analytes and batch samples in limited sample volume,and it is great potential clinical application in the determination of autoimmune antibodies,muhitumor markers,the phenotype of Human Leukocyte Antigen and the genes of infectious pathogens.However,currently,there are various limitations which hinder the clinical application of this technology broadly.The globally accepted panel of multi analytes,performance criteria,and quality control programs should be established before we get benefit from this high throughput,sensitivity and repeatability platform,which will help to provide scientific and accurate laboratory data for the clinical diagnosis,treatment and prevention.

With the advance of research, non-coding RNA has been found to surpass the traditional definition to directly code functional proteins by coding sequence elements and binding with ribosomes. Among the non-coding RNAs, the function of circRNA encoded proteins has been most extensively studied. This study has used "circRNA", "encoded", and "translation" as the key words to search the PubMed and Web of Science databases. The retrieved literature was screened and traced, with the translation mechanism, related research methods, and correlation with diseases of circRNA reviewed. CircRNA can translate proteins through a non-cap-dependent pathway. Multiple molecular techniques, in particular mass spectrometry analysis, have important value in identifying unique peptide segments of circRNA encoded proteins for confirming their existence. The proteins encoded by the circRNA are involved in the pathogenesis of diseases of the digestive, neurological, urinary systems and the breast, and have the potential to serve as novel targets for disease diagnosis and treatment. This article has provided a comprehensive review for the basic theory, experimental methods, and disease-related research in the field of circRNA translation, which may provide clues for the identification of new diagnostic and therapeutic targets.

ObjectiveTo investigate the profile of Th17/Treg balance in the peripheral blood of patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE).MethodsThirty-two SLE patients in active disease were selected and 30 SLE patients in remission were included in this study.The control group was consisted of 25healthy individuals.The expressions of IL-17 and FoxP3 on CD4+ T cells in the peripheral blood were assessed by flow cytometry and the mRNA levels of these two cytokines were examined by quantitative PCR respectively.ANOVA was used for statistical analysis.ResultsThe percentage of CD4+IL-17+ T cells and IL-17mRNA expression of the active group were significantly higher than those of the remission group and control group[(l.0l±0.22)％,(2.04±0.63)vs (0.48±0.16)％,(1.12±0.34) vs (0.41±0.12)％,1; P＜0.01].There was no difference between the remission group and control group(P＞0.05).However,the percentage of CI4+FoxP3 + T cells and FoxP3 mRNA expression of the active group were significantly lower than those of the remission group and control group [(2.36±t0.54)％,(0.42±0.16) vs (4.34±0.95)％,(0.87±t0.28) vs (5.09±11.17)％,1; P＜0.01 ],and there was also significant differencesbetween the remission group and control group(P＜0.05).ConclusionThl7/Treg balance shift may exist in the peripheral blood of patients with SLE and the degree of imbalance may be related to disease activity of SLE.

Objective To study the effect of sanguinarine on growth and radiosensitivity of human glioma A172 cells.Methods MTT assay was used to evaluate cell growth.Cell cycle analysis and reactive oxygen species(ROS) burst were performed by flow cytometry assay.Annexin V/PI assay was used to detect cell apoptosis.Colony formation assay was used to detect the influence of sanguinarine on cell radiosensitivity.Results Exposure of A172 cells to sanguinarine led to dose-and time-dependent cytotoxicity with IC50 values of 4.8,3.9 and 3.2 μmol/L for 12,24 and 48 h,respectively.Furthermore,sanguinarine caused an arrest of S phase.After being treated with 5 μmol/L sanguinarine for 24 h,the ratios of early apoptosis,late apoptosis and necrosis were (60.01 ± 3.73)％,(2.70 ± 0.18)％ and (3.93 ± 0.76)％ respectively in A172 cells compared with the untreated control(t =55.28,8.32,9.51,P ＜0.05).An increased generation of ROS was found after treatment with sanguinarine,however,NAC inhibited the effect of sanguinarine.As analyzed with multi-target click model fitting curves,the SERD0 of sanguinarine-treated cells was 1.48.Conclusions Sanguinarine inhibits the A172 cells growth via apoptosis induction and ROS burst.Moreover,sanguinarine at a non-cytotoxicity dose increases cell sensitivity to X-rays.

Objective To investigate the change and significance of T follicular helper cells(Tfh) in the peripheral blood of patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE).Methods The percentage of CD4+ CXCR5+ICOS+ Tfh cells and the expression of activation marker CD69 on the Tfh cells of peripheral blood from 60 SLE patients (30 in active and 30 in inactive) and 30 healthy subjects (control group) were determined by flow cytometry.The correlations between the percentage of Tfh cells of SLE patients and SLE disease activity index (SLEDAI),anti-nuclear antibody (ANA) titers and the levels of complement 3 (C3),complement 4 (C4) were analyzed.ANOVA and Pearson's correlation analysis were used for statistical analysis.Results The percentage of the Tfh cells in the peripheral blood of active SLE patients was higher than inactive patients and healthy controls [(0.80±0.17)％ vs (0.63±0.13)％ vs (0.57±0.08)％; P＜0.01],there was also statistical significance between inactive patients and healthy controls (P＜0.05).The expression of CD69 on the Tfh cells in the peripheral blood of active SLE patients was higher than that in inactive and healthy controls [(7.3±1.6)％ vs (5.9±1.3)％ vs (5.2±0.9)％; P＜0.01].There was no statistical significant difference between inactive patients and healthy controls (P＞0.05).The percentage of Tfh cells of SLE patients was significantly related with SLEDAI (r=0.680,P＜0.01) and C3 levels (r=-0.416,P＜0.05),butthere was no correlation between that and the ANA titer,C4 levels (r=-0.042,-0.204,P＞0.05).Conclusion Increased percentage and activity of the Tfh cells in the peripheral blood of patients might contribute to the pathogenesis and development of SLE.

Objective To study the expression and significance of Th17 cells from peripheral blood of patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Methods Intracelluar flow cytomete detection of IL-17/IFN-γ and IL-17/IL-6 was established using anti-CD3/Anti-CD28/IL-23 as stimulators after isolation of untouched human CD4~+T cells from PBMC. There were three groups in the present study: ①healthy controls group; ② RA stable group; ③RA active group. Results The isolation of untouched human CD4~+T cells from PBMC was effective and its purity was over 90%. The percentage of intracelluar IL-17 in CD4~+ T cells from RA patients was increased significantly. Such percentage in active group (1.54±0.41) was higher than that of stable group (0.70±0.21, P<0.01) and both of them were higher than those of healthy controls (0.42±0.12, P<0.01). Under anti-CD3/Anti-CD28/IL-23 stimulation, the percentage of intracelluar IL-17 was also increased significantly(P<0.01). The porcentage of intracellular IFN-γ was similar to that of IL-17, while that of IL-6 was not significantly different. There is an correlation between IL-17 and IFN-γ or IL-6. Conclusion There is an abnormal expression of IL-17 and IFN-γ in human CD4~+T cells in RA patients, which is related to disease activity . Th17 cells may be used as a new marker for the assessment of RA activity.
