Objective To discuss the role of DNA-dependent protein kinase catalytic subunit (DNA-DPKCS) in human lung adenocarcinoma cell line (A549) by using small interfering RNA (siRNA) to specifically knockdown DNA-DPKCS expression and its effects on cell proliferation, cell cycle and radio-sensitivity. Methods The DNA-DPKCS-siRNA expression vector was constructed and transfected into A549 cell line. The transformed clones were randomly selected and isolated. The cell cycle distribution and apop-tesis were analyzed by flowcytometry analysis. Cell survival was detected by using clonogenic formation as-say. Results With specific inhibition of DNA-DPKCS expression, stable transfected cell line 549pRNA-DNA-DPKCS was constructed by RNA interference technique. The 549pRNA-C and 549pSUPER cell lines were the control cell lines tansfected with control and blank plasmids, respectively. Compared with A549 cells, the expression levels of DNA-DPKCS mRNA (0.110: 1. 000), protein (0. 870: 2.967) and activity of DNA-DPKCS (0.004: 0.266) in 549pRNA-DNA-DPKCS cells were significantly lower (F = 80.55 ,P < 0.01;F=63.96, P<0.01;F=51.62,P<0.01, respectively). The analysis of SF_2(0.25:0.76), D_0 (1.42:1.62) and D_q (0.06: 1. 00) showed significant difference between 549pRNA-DNA-DPKCS and A549 cells (F = 996.86, P < 0.01 ; F = 17.41, P < 0.05 ; F = 68.92, P < 0.01). The number of 549pRNA-DNA-DPKCS cells in S (24.5%: 35.5%) and G_2 (10.7%: 11.0%) phases was significantly decreased (F = 4.83, P<0.05 and F=32.04, P <0.01, respectively). Conclusions In A549 cells, inhibit of DNA-DPKCS gene expression can enhance the radiosensitivity and affect cell cycle distribution.

Objective:Scope review of exercise-related research in patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), while pointing out the limitations of existing research, and providing references for future studies in this area.Methods:We searched PubMed, EMBASE, Web of science, Cochrane databases, China Biology Medicine, Chinese National Knowledge Infrastructure, Wan Fang Data, and Chinese Science Journal Database for studies related to exercise intervention in patients with IBD from January 1974 to July 2020. We extracted data from the included studies. Then we summarized and presented the results.Results:16 articles were finally included, of which 14 were randomized controlled trials and 2 were quasi-experimental studies. Results show that exercise methods can be divided into four categories: aerobic exercise, resistance exercise, flexibility exercise and mixed exercise. The intensity of exercise was mostly low to moderate. The frequency of exercise was mostly 3 times/week, lasting for 30-60 minutes per session. The results showed that exercise had positive effects on physical fitness, bone density, anxiety and depression, quality of life among patients with IBD. However, the effect of exercise on disease activity are diverse.Conclusion:exercise is beneficial to the mental and physical health among this group, but the existing studies have small sample sizes, short exercise intervention period, neglect of individualization in exercise prescription design, low exercise compliance, non-uniformity of exercise effect evaluation indicators.
