1.Anti-tumor activity and its mechanism of lycopene
Journal of International Oncology 2013;(4):264-267
Lycopene is an important natural carotenoid,and is widely found in human tissues and blood,with the prevention of many types of cancer,anti-aging effect.It can inhibit the proliferation of cancer cells of oral malignancy,and increasing of gap-junction communication between cells to prevent oral cancer,and also can inhibit the development of colorectal cancer by reducing the activity of matrix metalloproteinase.It plays the role of anti-metastasis through enhancing the expression of anti-metastatic gene nm23-H1.
2.Progression of microRNA in gastric cancer
Journal of International Oncology 2013;(5):359-362
Recently,many studies find that microRNA plays a key role in the development,diagnosis,treatment and prevention of gastric cancer.It is confirmed that miR-451 can be used as a useful biomarker for the screening of gastric cancer.Studies also show that miR-203 and miR-21 may become diagnostic markers of gastric cancer.MicroRNA can play the role of oncogenes,and also can play the role of tumor suppressor gene,such as miR-141 plays the role of tumor suppressor gene through inhibition of the positive fibroblast growth factor receptor 2 gene expression.

Objective To analyze the relationship between the distribution of visceral adipose and cardiovascular damage in the patients with metabolic syndrome. Methods 108 in-patients were categorized according to the diseases, they were suffering from into metabolic syndrome group (MS, 70 cases), essential hypertension group (EH, 22 cases), and type 2 diabetes mellitus group (T2DM, 16 cases). The areas of both visceral adipose (VA) and subcutaneous adipose (SA) were measured for all the three groups, and then VA/SA was calculated. The relationship of the above variables with left ventricular mass (LVM), LVM-index (LVMI) intima-medial thickness (IMT) of carotid artery, and myocardial ischemia was analysed. Results Compared with T2DM and EH groups, the area with VA was significantly larger in MS group (P

Objective To design and prepare recombinant mutant human high mobility group box 1 protein (HMGB1s) that can combine with HMGB1 receptors but cannot produce inflammatory effect, and accordingly lead to the creation of a new potential agent for anti-inflammatory therapy. Methods This experiment was based on successful clone and expression of human HMGB1.Six mutant HMGB1 cDNA were designed and constructed by one step inverse PCR. They were cloned into prokaryotic expressive vector pQE80L and followed with production of mutant HMGB1s and identification by Western blotting. Results Six mutant proteins were designed and constructed into prokaryotic expressive vector pQE80L. The recombinant HMGB1 proteins were obtained and identified by Western blotting. Conclusion Human HMGB1 mutants have been successfully constructed and the expression and characterization of intent proteins are identified. It will lay a foundation for further study on biological functions of HMGB1.

Objective To investigate the effect of p15~(INK4B)(p15)gene transfection on the proliferation of pancreatic cancer cell line BxPC3.Methods In p15 transfection group.pCDNA3.1(+)p15 was transfected into BxPC3 cell by the vector of Lipofectamine2000.In empty plasmid transfection group, pCDNA3.1(+)neo was transfected into BxPC3 cell with the sa/ne method as a blank control group.In non-transfection group.the BxPC3 cell was not transfected as a negative control group.The p15 mRNA expressions were assayed by RT-PCR,and p15 protein expressions were assayed by Western blot.The proliferation was determined by MTY assay,ultra-structure changes were measured by transmission electron microscope.Cell cycle and apoptosis were measured by flow cytometry.Results In the pCDNA3.1(+)p15 transfeetion group,the expression of p15 mRNA and protein were resumed.Since the 2nd day of culture,the growth of pCDNA3.1(+)p15 transfeetion group was inhibited,till the 7th day,the inhibitory rate was 47.9%,G_0/G_1 Dhase cell accounted for(61.56±3.96)% of all the cells,which was significantly higher than(47.44±6.35)%ofthe black control groups and(49.22±7.23)%0f tlle negative control group(P<0.05).G_1apoptosis peak occurred and the apoptosis rate was(5.27±1.04)%in pCDNA3.1(+)p15 transfection group,which was significantly higher than(0.11±0.06)% of the black control groups and(0.09±0.07)% of the negative control group(P<0.05).Apoptosis was also observed by transmission electron microscope in the pCDNA3.1(+)-p15 transfection group cells.Conclusions After p15 gene transfection,BLPC3 cell proliferation could be significantly inhibited and apoptosis could be induced.

Objective We investigated female patients with idiopathic inflammatory myopathy (ⅡM),including polymyositis (PM) and dermatomyositis (DM) to understand if the activity and treatment of ⅡM affected the fetus outcomes as well as the correlation between pregnancy and the pathogenesis of ⅡM.Methods Questionnaires were designed,including patients' fertility,the activity and treatment of ⅡM during pregnancy and after childbirth,and the fetal outcomes.The questionnaires were conducted on 75 female patients (22-53 years old),who once hospitalized at Peking Union Medical College Hospital from 2007 to 2013.The mutual effect between the ⅡM disease activity,pregnancy and the fetus were compared by Chi square.Results Seventy-five patients (19 PM,56 DM) had 144 pregnancies,but only 18 of them became pregnant after the onset of the disease.There were two patients had onset of DM during pregnancy,and two patients suffered from DM after delivery or abortion within one month.The rates of abnormal pregnancy in patients with pregnancy before the onset of ⅡM was significantly lower than those with pregnancy after the onset of ⅡM (x2=10.21,P=0.001).Of the 18 pregnancies after the onset of ⅡM,7 had active ⅡM during pregnancy,3 of them flareddue to pregnancy.The 5 abnormal pregnancies (5/7) were seen in seven pregnancies totally,including two spontaneous abortion,one embryo diapause and two premature births.While of the other 11 pregnanciesin stable condition had only 2 abnormal pregnancies (2/11),including one fetus ended prematurely and one embryo diapause.The fetal outcomes were significantly related to the status of illness (x2=5.103,P=0.024).Two patients became pregant after the onset of the disease,both of them had stable disease before pregnancy.However,the disease became active during the pregnancies.One of them flared with rash during two pregnancies.The fetal end in embryo diapause and premature birth (33+4 weeks),respectively.Another flared with muscle weakness at five months of gestation.The fetal ended in premature birth (36+3 weeks).Two patients had onset of DM within one month following the delivery and voluntary abortion.Patients with active disease had taken medium to large doses of prednisone (30-60 mg) orally,in combination with hydroxychloroquine (0.2 bid) or without.In addition,two patients administrated with intravenous gamma globulin (IVIG) at low dose,whose illness condition had been well controlled.Conclusion Pregnancies after the onset of ⅡM tend to end with spontaneous abortion,embryo diapause,premature birth.The fetal outcomes are significantly related to disease activity.When ⅡM flared during pregnancy,IVIG might be the most effective and safe treatment,combined with corticosteroids.

The zinc finger antiviral protein (ZAP) specifically inhibits the replication of Moloney murine leukemia virus (MLV) and Sindbis virus (SIN), but has very modest inhibitory effect on HIV. Previous studies suggest that ZAP directly binds to the viral RNA and recruit the RNA degradation machinery to degrade the target RNA. The HIV-1 Tat and Rev are regulatory proteins which bind to HIV RNA. Tat and Rev were fused with ZAP in various manners. Two fusion proteins, ZAP-Tat and ZAP-Rev were found to be able to inhibit the expression HIV-1 vector.
