Objective To explore the functionalternation of human cholangiocarcinoma cell line HUCCA-1 by silenc?ing Gab1 expression;to detect its effect on PI3KCA and Akt1 expression at protein and mRNA levels and to explore the role of Gab1,PI3KCA and Akt1 expressions in the malignant behavior of cholangiocarcinoma. Methods Gab1 siRNA was trans? fected into cholangiocarcinoma cell line HUCCA-1. Proliferation, apoptosis, migration/invasion of cells were examined by MTT, flow cytometry and Transwell assay respectively after transfection. PI3KCA and Akt1 expressions were detected by Western blotting and qPCR. Results Transfection efficiency was satisfactory and reaches 65%~70%;PI3KCA and Akt1 expressions were down-regulated at both protein and mRNA levels upon silencing of Gab1. Meanwhile, proliferations of HUCCA-1 cells were inhibited (P<0.01);apoptosis rate increases(P<0.05);and migration and invasion were both inhibit?ed upon Gab1 silencing(P<0.05). Conclusion The proliferation, migration and invasion are all inhibited while apoptosis is attenuated after Gab1 was down-regulated by Gab1 siRNA transfection. PI3KCA and Akt1 expressions are up-regulated with down-regulation of Gab1. Therefore, Gab1 may enhance the maglinant behavior of cholangiocarcinoma cells through up-regulating PI3KCA and Akt1 expression and it can be used as a candidate for cholangiocarcinoma therapy.

With the development of natural products, the research activities on the solubilization methods of water-insoluble natural products have been carried out worldwide. Big molecular weight and poor solubility of most natural active ingredients lead to a very poor oral absorption and low bioavailability, which has extremely limited their development in pharmaceutical fields and clinical application. As a result, it is necessary to find out a suitable technique to improve the solubility and enhance the oral bioavailability of insoluble natural drugs. Based on the related references published in these years, this review introduced some new techniques to improve the solubility and bioavailability of natural drugs, including prodrugs, inclusion complex, solid dispersion, cocrystals, osmotic pump, liquisolid compacts, micronization, self-microemulsifying, nanosuspensions, lipsomes, polymeric micelles and so on, and summarized the theory, characteristics, application range, application examples, problems and development direction of each technique.

Lynch syndrome is the most common type of genetically determined colon-cancer predisposition syndrome, accounting for 5%of all colorectal cancer (CRC) cases. This hereditary syndrome is characterized by the germline mutation of human mismatch repair genes and microsatellite instability. Recent studies have shown that Lynch syndrome and sporadic CRC differ in diagnosis and treat-ment;these results are especially relevant for the clinical management of Lynch syndrome. In this review, we reverted to the original characterization of Lynch syndrome, and the developments in its screening and diagnosis were summarized. Furthermore, the manage-ment of families with this disorder was discussed.

Aim To study the effect of high salt diet during pregnancy on the development of renal vessels in offspring rats and its mechanism.Methods Natural pregnant Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly divided into high-salt group and control group.The pregnant rats in the high-salt group were given high-salt diet of 8% NaCl content , while the control group normal diet with 1% NaCl content.In both groups, pregnant rats were given normal drinking water.After delivery, all mothers returned to normal diet and all neonatal rats were breast-fed until one month old.The adult male off springs were used as experimental animals.The vessel tone of renal interlobar arteries and electrophysiological behavior of single vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) were detected respectively.Results The contractile response of renal arteries to phenylephrine(Phe) in high-salt group was stronger than that in the control group(P<0.05).The effect of protein kinase C(PKC) non selective blocker GF109203X on Phe-induced contraction in two groups also showed significant difference(P<0.05).In electrophysiology experiments, Phe inhibited high-conductance Ca2+-activated K+ channel(BK channel) currents in renal arteriolar smooth muscle cells in two groups, and the inhibitory effect was more pronounced in high-salt offsprings (P<0.05).GF109203X could eliminate the response of Phe on BK currents in both groups(P>0.05).Conclusions High-salt diet during pregnancy could increase the sensitivity of renal interlobar arterial contractile response to Phe in adult male offsprings, which is associated with PKC-mediated BK channels pathway.Maternal high-salt diet during pregnancy may increase the risk of renal vascular diseases in adult offsprings.
