Objective To prepare monoclonal antibody(McAb) against human tissue kallikrein (HK) and develop an ELISA kit allows for the in vitro quantitative determination of human tissue kallikrein in urine. Methods To generate a monoclonal antibody specific for TK, the synthetic TK peptide consisting of 12 amine acids(12P), was fused to keyhole limpet hemocyanin(KLH) and used for immunization. Using hybridoma screening, monoclonal secreting cell lines were identified and used to generate ascites in BALB/c mouse. Antibody was purified by affinity column chromatography. 12% SDS-PAGE and Western blot were used to visualize the purified antibody. This kit employs indirect competitive ELISA technique and BiotinAvidin System. 12P was fused to bovine serum albumin(BSA) and has been pre-coated onto a microplate at first. Standards and samples were added to the appropriate microplate wells with a biotin-conjugated McAb croplate well. A TMB substrate solution is added to each well. The enzyme-substrate reaction is terminating by the addition of a sulphuric acid solution and the color change is measured spectrotometrically at a wavelength of 450 nm. The concentration of tissue kallikrein in the samples is then determined by comparing the O.D. of the samples to the standard curve. Results 8 hybridoma cell lines secreting mAbs special to HK,SDS-PAGE and Western blot demonstrated successful preparing and purification of McAb( 100% ). The linearity of this ELISA kit is demonstrated(r =0. 990). The range of detection of the assay is 0.008 μg/ml to 0. 5 μg/ml. The assay remained stable, with no change in the values measured, over five cycles of freezing and thawing. Conclusion 8 McAbs against HK have been prepared successfully and possess high titer and specificity. The development of an ELISA kit for detecting HK can meet the needs of detection of HK in urine samples.

Objective To establish a stable and efficient method of culturing imDCs in vitro,and to explore the effect of GW5074, which blocks ERK1/2 signal pathway in the process of imnature dentritic cells (imDCs) on inducing differentiation of the na(i)ve allogeneic CD4+ T cells into Treg cells in vitro. Methods The imDCs and mature DCs (mDCs) were isolated and cultured from the peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) derived from a healthy adult male volunteer, and they were identified by cell morphology, cell surface marker and cell functions respectively. Na(i)ve CD4+ T cells were isolated from newborn umbilical vein blood and were divided into 5 groups to be cultured: (1) Blank control group: Na(i)ve CD4+ T cells were cultured alone;(2) Positive control group: The irrDCs were Middle-concentration GW5074 group;(5) High-concentration GW5074 group. In the last three groups, imDCs and na(i)ve CD4+ T cells were co-cultured, the same as the positive control group, but these groups were added by GW5074 dilution at the concentrations of 8, 24, and 40μmol/Lrespectively. After co-culture for 5 days, the transformation ratio from naive CD4+T cells to Treg T cells was detected by flow cytometry. Results On the surface of imDCs, there was stronger pression of CD1a, but weaker expression of CD80 and CD83. On the contrary, on the surface of mDCs, there was weaker expression of CD1a, but stronger expression of CD80 and CD83. The stimulation index in imDCs group and mDCs group was 1.12±0.03 and 2.85±0. 07 respectively. The transformation ratio of Treg T cells in blank control group, positive control group, low-concentration GW5074 group, middle-concentration GW5074 group and high-concentration GW5074 group was (5. 81±1.36)%, (35.73±2.07)%, (22.53±2.11)%, (11.55±1.73)%, and (4.97±1.83)%respectively. One-way ANOVA analysis revealed that there was no significant difference between high-concentration GW5074 group and blank control group, P＞0. 05, but significant difference between the remaining groups, P＜0.01. Conclusion High purity of imDCs can be obtained from PBMC by induction with rhGM-CSF and rhIL-4. ERK1/2 signal pathway plays a role in inducing the immune tolerance. GW5074 can inhibit differentiation of na(i)ve CD4+ T cells into Treg T cells.

Objective To explore the expression of MMP2 and its correlation with the clinical features and prognosis of endometrial adenocarcinoma. Methods We collected paraffin- embedded samples from 81 patients with endometrial adenocarcinoma aged 32 to 80 years to examine the expression of MMP2 using immunohistochemistry. The correlation of MMP2 expression with the clinical characteristics and prognosis of the patients was analyzed. Results MMP2 protein was expressed in the cytoplasm of the tumor cells. MMP2 over-expression was negatively correlated with tumor differentiation (P=0.015) and prognosis (P=0.041) of endometrial adenocarcinoma. Conclusion MMP2 over-expression is a potential malignant biomarker in endometrial adenocarcinoma.

Background and objectiveLung cancer is the leading cause of cancer-related deaths worldwide, and metastasis is the major cause of death in lung cancer patients. MiR-373 is closely associated with invasion and metastasis in other tumor cells. hTis study explored the expression of miR-373-3p in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) and its effect on the invasive and metastatic capabilities of lung adenocarcinoma cells, as well as their mechanisms of action.MethodshTe expression of miR-373-3p in NSCLC tissues and lung adenocarcinoma cell lines was detected by quantitative reverse transcrip-tion polymerase chain reaction. hTe roles of miR-373-3p in regulating lung adenocarcinoma cell invasion and metastatic prop-erties were analyzed with miR-373-3p mimic/inhibitor-transfected cells via Transwell chamber assay. Matrix metalloproteinase MMP-9 and MMP-14 protein levels were detected by Western blot in lung cancer cells atfer transfection.Results MiR-373-3p was upregulated in 51 NSCLC tissues and 5 NSCLC cell lines. Gain-of-function and loss-of-function studies showed that overexpression of miR-373-3p promoted H1299 cell migration and invasion, which resulted in upregulation of MMP-9 and MMP-14. By contrast, miR-373-3p knockdown inhibited these processes in A549 cells and downregulated the expression of MMP-9 and MMP-14.ConclusionOur results demonstrated that miR-373-3p participated in the invasion and metastasis of lung adenocarcinoma cells, partly by upregulation of MMP-9 and MMP-14.

OBJECTIVE To analyze the current status and research hot spots of traditional Chinese medicine （TCM）in the prevention and treatment of myocardial ischemia -reperfusion injury （MIRI），and to provide reference for developing relevant studies. METHODS A bibliometric analysis was performed with the literature on TCM treatments for MIRI included in the Web of Science as the data source . RESULTS A total of 972 literatures were included in this study . The research on TCM for prevention and treatment of MIRI in recent 10 years showed an increasing trend year by year ，and the literature published in 2021 were cited most frequently ；most research scholars focused in China ；Peking Union Medical College ，Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences had the most papers in this field ，and a lot of collaboration with other institutions ，which had a large influence in the field ；Sun Guibo and Sun Xiaobo were high -yielding authors in the field ，but the global authorship was not very close and had not formed cooperative teams of some scale ；Molecular Medicine Reports was perhaps the most popular journal in the field . Co-citation analysis found that the research direction in this field was mostly focused on exploring the pathogenesis of MIRI and finding intervention targets . Key words analysis revealed that TCM regulated apoptosis ， pyroptosis， mitochondrial dysfunction ， miRNA and other pathways to improve MIRI research was a hot spot in the field ，and more studies had focused on the Nrf 2 pathway，NF-κB pathway ，NLRP3 inflammasomepathway， TNF pathway ， SIRT3 pathway， JNK pathway ，PI3K/Akt pathway and AMPK pathway . CONCLUSIONS Much attention has been paid to the prevention and treatment of MIRI by TCM in the past 10 years，and the current hot spots in this field are mostly focused on the studies about the intervention mechanism of TCM ’s active ingredients and Chinese patent medicines on MIRI . Moreover，the research about TCM in the treatment of MIRI is mostly focused on the field of basic experiments at present ，and it is recommended that many large -scale，high-quality， multicenter，randomized controlled clinical studies should be carried out in the future ，to provide high -grade evidence -based evidence for the application of TCM in clinic .
