Objective To elucidate the effects and mechanisms of Biejiajian pill(BJJP)-containing serum on the malignant biological behaviors of hepatocellular carcinoma Huh7 cells.Methods This research knocked down CKLF-like MARVEL transmembrane domain containing 6(CMTM6)expression using a CMTM6-specific small interfering RNA(siRNA).Healthy Sprague-Dawley rats were used to prepare normal rat serum and low-(0.55 g/kg),medium-(1.1 g/kg),and high-(2.2 g/kg)BJJP-containing.Huh7 cells were cultured with normal fetal bovine serum(BC),normal rat serum(NC),and low-,medium-,and high-dose BJJP serum(LBJJP,MBJJP,and HBJJP,respectively).BJJP-containing serum and si-CMTM6 were applied to Huh7 cancer cells,and the proliferation,migration,and invasion abilities were evaluated by CCK-8 and Transwell assays,respectively.Protein expression levels of proliferating cell nuclear antigen(PCNA),epithelial-mesenchymal transition(EMT)markers,and CMTM6 were detected by Western blot.Results CMTM6 knockdown significantly reduced the mRNA and protein expression level of CMTM6 in Huh7 cells(P＜0.05).There were no significant differences between the BC and NC groups in terms of cell proliferation,migration,invasion,expression levels of PCNA,EMT markers,and CMTM6(all P＞0.05).BJJP-containing serum markedly inhibited Huh7 cell proliferation,migration,and invasion(P＜0.05),downregulated PCNA,CMTM6,N-cadherin,and Vimentin expression,and upregulated E-cadherin compared with the NC group(all P＜0.05).CMTM6 knockdown suppressed malignant behaviors,with reduced PCNA,Vimentin,and N-cadherin and elevated E-cadherin expression(all P＜0.05).Conclusions BJJP-containing serum can significantly inhibit Huh7 cell growth,invasion,migration,and EMT progression,potentially mediated via CMTM6 suppression.

Objective To investigate the effect of Biejiajian Pill(BJJP)on malignant biological behavior of hepatocellular carcinoma Hep3B cells and its regulatory mechanism.Methods A total of 72 healthy SD rats were randomly divided into blank control(BC)group,low(0.55 g/kg),medium(1.10 g/kg)and high(2.20 g/kg)BJJP experimental group,and drug-containing serum was prepared.Hep3B cells were divided into BC group,normal rat serum treatment(NC)group,low dose BJJP(LBJJP)group,medium dose BJJP(MBJJP)group and high dose BJJP(HBJJP)group,empty plasmid(pcDNA3.1)group,and CKLF-like MARVEL transmembrane domain containing 6(CMTM6)overexpression(pcDNA3.1-CMTM6)group,and the NC+pcDNA3.1 group,MBJJP+pcDNA3.1 group,NC+pcDNA3.1-CMTM6 group and MBJJP+pcDNA3.1-CMTM6 group.The proliferation of hepatoma Hep3B cells was detected by CCK-8.The migration and invasion of hepatoma Hep3B cells were detected by Transwell assay.The expression levels of proliferation-related proteins proliferating cell nuclear antigen(PCNA),epithelial-mesenchymal transition(EMT)related proteins(E-cadherin,N-cadherin and Vimentin),and CMTM6 proteins in hepatoma Hep3B cells were detected by Western blotting experiments.Results Compared with those in BC group,there were no significant differences in the proliferation,migration and invasion abilities of Hep3B cells,or the expression levels of PCNA,EMT related proteins(E-cadherin,N-cadherin and Vimentin)and CMTM6 protein in NC group(P＞0.05).Compared with NC group,LBJJP,MBJJP and HBJJP drug-containing serum inhibited the proliferation,migration and invasion of Hep3B cells,downregulated the protein expression of PCNA;MBJJP and HBJJP upregulated the protein expression of E-cadherin.The protein expressions of N-cadherin,Vimentin and CMTM6 were downregulated,with significant differences(P＜0.05).Compared with pcDNA3.1 group,the protein expression of CMTM6,cell proliferation,migration,invasion,PCNA protein expression,N-cadherin protein expression,and Vimentin protein expression in Hep3B cells in pcDNA3.1-CMTM6 group were significantly upregulated,while the protein expression of E-cadherin was significantly downregulated(P＜0.05).Compared with NC+pcDNA3.1 group,the proliferation,migration and invasion abilities of Hep3B cells in MBJJP+pcDNA3.1 group were decreased,the expression levels of PCNA,Vimentin and N-cadherin protein were decreased,while the expression level of E-cadherin protein was increased.Compared with NC+pcDNA3.1-CMTM6 group,MBJJP+pcDNA3.1-CMTM6 group had the same results in the proliferation,migration and invasion abilities of Hep3B cells and the protein expression levels of PCNA,Vimentin,N-cadherin and E-cadherin.The differences were statistically significant(all P＜0.05).Conclusion BJJP may inhibit the proliferation,migration,invasion and EMT of hepatoma Hep3B cells by regulating the expression of CMTM6.

Objective To investigate the effects of rhein lysinate (RHL)on the expressions of TNF-α,IL-6 and NF-κB in the kidney tissue of senescence accelerated mouse prone 10 (SAMP 10)mice.Methods We selected 1 8 male mice (SAMP 1 0 )aged 7 months for the study and randomly divided them into blank control group and groups of different concentrations of RHL;six senescence accelerated mouse resistance 1 (SAMR 1 )served as the young control group.After 6 weeks’ treatment,HE staining was used to detect the pathological changes of the kidney.The expressions of TNF-α,IL-6 and NF-κB at the protein level were detected by immunohistochemistry and Western blotting.Results RHL treatment did not affect the body weight of SAMP 10 mice (P>0.05 ). Compared with SAMR 1 mice, contracted and destroyed renal glomeruli and infiltration of mononuclear macrophages were observed in control SAMP10 mice.However,this pathological process was blocked by RHL (25 mg/kg and 50 mg/kg ) treatments. In addition, the overexpressions of TNF-α, IL-6 and NF-κB and the phosphorylation of NF-κB in the kidney tissue of SAMP 10 mice could be inhibited by RHL treatments (P<0.05). Conclusion RHL inhibits the inflammatory reaction of the kidney tissue,which may be one of the mechanisms by which RHL exerts its kidney-protecting and anti-aging effects.

Objective To explore the effect of empathy nursing on negative emotions and symptoms distress in patients with venous thrombosis .Methods Eighty-two patients with venous thrombosis after the operation were chosen and were divided into the control group and the observation group according to the random number table, each with 41cases.The control group received the conventional nursing , and the observation group received the empathy nursing on the basis of routine nursing .The negative emotions and symptoms distress were evaluated and compared by the self-rating depression scale (SDS), self-rating anxiety scale (SAS) and dialysis symptom index (DSI) between two groups.Results The scores of SAS, SDS, DSI were (36.47 ± 9.76),(33.17 ±11.66),(34.47 ±5.68) in the observation group after the intervention , and were lower than (39.70 ±13.56), (42.99 ±12.50), (38.96 ±5.39) in the control group, and the differences were statistically significant (t=-1.797, -3.678, -0.367, respectively;P<0.05).The incidence of symptoms and the degree of symptoms distress were positive correlated with anxiety , depression ( P <0.05 ) .Conclusions The implementation of empathy nursing can in part improve the negative emotion and reduce the symptoms distress in patients with venous thrombosis .

OBJECTIVETo investigate the effect of functional blocking of endogenous miR-23a with a specific antisense oligonucleotide (ASO) on the proliferation and invasiveness of gastric adenocarcinoma cell line MGC803 in vitro.

METHODSA specific ASO targeting miR-23a, namely ASO-23a, was transfected into MGC803 cells to block endogenous miR-23a. The mRNA level of miR-23a in the transfected cells was detected with quantitative real-time PCR. The changes of cell proliferation following the transfection were detected with MTT assay and colony formation assay, and TUNEL assay and Transwell assay were employed to evaluate the changes in cell apoptosis and invasiveness, respectively.

RESULTSQuantitative real-time PCR demonstrated efficient functional blocking of endogenous miR-23a in MGC803 cells by ASO-23a. Suppression of miR-23a with ASO-23a obviously inhibited cell growth, colony formation and invasiveness of MGC803 cells and significantly enhanced the cell apoptosis.

CONCLUSIONASO-23a can efficiently block the function of endogenous miR-23a in MGC803 cells to inhibit cell proliferation and invasion and promote cell apoptosis.
