Objective: To investigate the effect of RNA interference (RNAi) targeting AKT1 and PI3K P85 on the proliferation and invasion of breast carcinoma MCF-7 cells. Methods: The recombinant adenovirus expression vector, which contained short hairpin RNA (shRNA) targeting open reading frames of AKT1 and PI3K P85 (rAd5-siAKT1-siPI3K), was transfected into human breast carcinoma MCF-7 cells. AKT1 and PI3K P85 mRNA and protein expressions were detected by real-time PCR and Western blotting analysis. The expressions of PCNA, cyclinD1, and P53 were also detected by Western blotting analysis. The proliferation and apoptosis of MCF-7 cells were measured by MTT, flow cytometry and 2-dementinal and 3-dementional matrigel assay. Results: Recombinant adenovirus vector rAd5-siAKT1-siPI3K dramatically down-regulated AKT1 and PI3K P85 mRNA and protein expressions in MCF-7 cells; the downstream factors PCNA and cyclin D1 were also down-regulated, while P53 was up-regulated. Growth of MCF-7 cells was inhibited by over 50% in rAd5-siAKT1-siPI3K group as measured by MTT assay, and cell cycle was arrested in G_1/G_0 phase compared with untransfected and rAd5-siCtrl transfected groups. Cell growth on matrigel matrix showed normal cell shapes, while the cells in rAd5-siAKT1-siPI3K transfected group were detached from the matrix or grew in scattered clustering patterns, forming only small aggregates. Conclusion: shRNA targeting AKT1 and PI3K P85 can significantly down-regulate the expression of AKT1 and PI3K P85 in breast carcinoma MCF-7 cells, and inhibit the growth of MCF-7 cells in vitro.

Objective: To study the effect of and possible mechanism of knockinng down PI3Kp85α using siRNA in MCF-7 human breast cancer cell line. Methods: Oligofectamine was used to transfect PI3Kp85α siRNA to knock down the PI3Kp85α expression level in MCF-7 human breast cancer cell line in vitro. Real-time PCR was conducted to detect the expression of PI3Kp85α. The effect of PI3Kp85αsiRNA on the growth of MCF-7 cells was measured by MTT. The cell cycle distribution and cell apoptosis were detected by cell flow cytometry. Protein expression was evaluated by immunofluorescence staining and Western blot. Results: The expression of PI3Kp85 α was knocked down with PI3Kp85α siRNA in MCF-7 cells. Cell growth was delayed in PI3Kp85αsiRNA-treated group. Conclusion: The suppressive effect of PI3Kp85αsiRNA on the growth of MCF-7 human breast cancer cell line is significant and PI3Kp85α could be a candidate for gene therapy for breast cancer.

Objective To study the effect of intensive trunk muscle training on balance and walking in pa- tients with hemiplegia caused by stroke.Methods A total of 90 stroke patients were recruited and randomly divid- ed into a treatment group(45 cases)and a control group(45 cases).All the patients were given conventional reha- bilitation training.Meanwhile,intensive trunk muscle training was also administered for those in the treatment group as well.The trunk control function,balance ability and walking ability were assessed by using the trunk control test, Berg Balance Scale and the balance subscale of the Fugl-Meyer physical performance test,and Holden's functional ambulation classification,respectively,before and after 6 weeks of training.Results It was found that all the pa- tients scored better with the trunk control test,Berg's balance scale,the balance subscale of the Fugl-Meyer physical performance test and Holden's ambulation classification after treatment,and there were significant differences between the two groups after treatment(P

Objective To observe the dynamic changes of neuron-specific enolase(NSE)mRNA and protein in offspring rats brain tissue with bilirubin encephalopathy and explore the pathological mechanism and its diagnostic value on bilirubin encephalopathy.Methods Seven-day postnatal Wistar rats were used for study.One hundred and twenty rats were divided into 2 groups randomly(control group and experimental group),which were respectively subdivided into 6 groups(6,12,24,48,72,96 h).The rats in control group were intraperitoneally administered physiological saline 0.5 mL,the rats in experimental groups were intraperitoneally administered bilirubin(200 mg/kg).Reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction was used to analyze the dynamic changes of NSE mRNA expression at 6,12,24,48,72 and 96 h in brain tissue of rats with bilirubin encephalopathy.Immunohistochemistry was used to evaluate NSE protein expression in hippo-campi,cerebral cortex,thalamic and pallidus at different times.Results The expression of NSE mRNA significantly decreased in brain tissue of rats with bilirubin encephalopathy from 6 h to 96 h compared with the control groups.The expression of NSE protein in hippocampi decreased in offspring rats with bilirubin encephalopathy from 6 h to 96 h,but there were no differences compared with the control groups.The expression of NSE protein in cerebral cortex was significantly decreased in rats with bilirubin encephalopathy from 6 h to 96 h,there were significant differences compared with the control group.The expression of NSE protein in thalamic significantly decreased in rats with bilirubin encephalopathy from 6 h to 96 h,but there were significant differences between experimental groups and the control groups at 24 h and 72 h.The expression of NSE protein in pallidus significantly decreased in offspring rats with bilirubin encephalopathy from 6 h to 96 h,and there were significant differences compared with control groups.Conclusions The changing trends of expression of NSE mRNA were identical to those of NSE protein.NSE may reflect the degree of injury of neurogliocyte.It can serve as reliable index to determine bilirubin encephalopathy.
