Objective To explore the biological behavior and mechanism of isovitexin(Isov)on pancreatic cancer cells.Methods Isov was used to treat the human normal pancreatic ductal epithelial cells HPDE and PC cell lines,and CCK-8 was used to detect the cell proliferation and calculate the half inhibitory concentration(IC50).The PC cell line PANC-1 cells were grouped into the control group,the Isov group,the Isov+in-miR-NC group,the Isov+in-miR-339-5p group,the Isov+in-miR-339-5p+si-NC group and the Isov+in-miR-339-5p+si-HSPA8 group.The survival,migration and invasion of PANC-1 cells were detected by CCK-8,scratch healing assay and Transwell assay.Real time fluorescence quantitative PCR was used to detect the mRNA expression of miR-339-5p and heat shock protein family A member 8(HSPA8)in PANC-1 cells.Western blot assay was used to detect protein HSPA8 expression in various groups of cells.Dual luciferase reporter gene was used to detect the targeting effect of miR-339-5p and HSPA8.A xenograft nude mouse model was used to determine the in vivo anticancer effects of Isov.Results Isov inhibited PC cell proliferation but had little cytotoxicity to HPDE cells.Isov could obviously reduce the survival rate and scratch healing rate of PANC-1 cells,reduce the number of invasive cells,up-regulate miR-339-5p expression and down-regulate HSPA8 mRNA and protein levels(P<0.05),while these effects were blocked by down-regulated miR-339-5p(P<0.05).In addition,HSPA8 was the target gene of miR-339-5p,and knockdown of HSPA8 reversed the regulatory effect of Isov on the malignant biological behavior of PANC-1 cells.In vivo studies confirmed that after Isov treatment,the tumor volume and weight of nude mice decreased,the expression of miR-339-5p was increased and the expression of HSPA8 mRNA was decreased(P<0.05).Conclusion Isov may inhibit the proliferation,migration and invasion of PC cells through the miR-339-5p/HSPA8 axis.

Objective:To construct bacterial cytoplasmic membrane nanovesicles(BMV)with overexpressing programmed death 1(PD-1),denoted as BMV-PD-1 and evaluate the targeting efficacy of BMV-PD-1 towards transplanted lung tumor tissues in mice.Methods:The fusion plasmid ClyA-PD-1-EGFP fused by PD-1 and Cytolysin A(ClyA)was transferred into Escherichia coli BL21-Codonplus through plasmid transformation.Laser confocal microscopy,SDS-PAGE,and WB were used to detect the expression of the fusion protein ClyA-PD-1-EGFP.Bacterial membranes were extracted and processed with an extruder to generate BMV-PD-1.TEM and NTA were utilized to assess the morphology,size distribution,and zeta potential of BMV-PD-1,while WB was used to verify the presence of PD-1 protein.Laser confocal imaging was conducted to monitor the uptake of BMV-PD-1 by Lewis lung cancer cells.A C57BL/6J mouse subcutaneous transplant tumor model of LLC lung cancer cells was constructed,and the tumor targeting of BMV-PD-1 was evaluated by small animal imaging system.Results:Laser confocal microscopy images demonstrated that the plasmid ClyA-PD-1-EGFP was transferred into BL21-Codonplus and successfully expressed into protein.SDS-PAGE results suggested that ClyA-PD-1-EGFP was overexpressed in BL21-Codonplus.WB analysis indicated that PD-1 was expressed in bacteria and highly expressed in BMV-PD-1(P<0.001).NTA and TEM analyses revealed that BMV-PD-1 were spherical vesicles with a diameter of(145±14)nm and a negative surface charge.Laser confocal imaging showed that the high expression of PD-1 significantly increased the uptake of BMV-PD-1 by lung cancer cells(P<0.01).In vivo imaging of small animals further confirmed that the high expression of PD-1 can effectively improve cancer targeting of BMV-PD-1(P<0.01).Conclusion:In this study,bacterial plasma membrane nanovesicles BMV-PD-1 with high PD-1 expression are successfully constructed,and it is found that PD-1 overexpression markedly improve the mouse lung cancer xenograft tissue targeting specificity of BMV-PD-1,laying the groundwork for further development of BMV-PD-1 as a carrier for targeted drug delivery systems in tumors.

Proteins and peptides are important active components of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) widely found in plants, animals, and fungi. Modern research indicates that the protein constituents of TCM possess various pharmacological activities, including antitumor effect, immunomodulation, antioxidation, antihypertension, anti-inflammation, cardiovascular and nervous system protection, blood sugar regulation, and bacteriostasis effects. Despite significant progress in recent years regarding the pharmacological activities and mechanisms of TCM components, research on protein components of TCM has lagged. Many TCM protein components have yet to be effectively developed, and their pharmacological activities and mechanisms remain insufficiently elucidated. This article provides a comprehensive review of the pharmacological activities and mechanisms of TCM proteins and peptides. Additionally, the current shortcomings in research are discussed to offer some insights, aiming to promote further investigation of TCM proteins and peptides and facilitate their application in new drug development and clinical treatment.

Objective To compare the intubating conditions between dexmedetomidine and remifentanil when combined with sevoflurane-nitrous oxide (N2O) for anesthesia induction in the pediatric patients.Methods A total of 122 pediatric patients,aged 4-10 yr,of American Society of Anesthesiologists physical status Ⅰ,undergoing elective plastic surgery,were randomly divided into dexmedetomidine group (group D,n =61) and remifentanil group (group R,n=61).Eight percent sevoflurane and 60% N2O were inhaled for induction of anesthesia,and the fresh gas flow was set at 6 L/min.After disappearance of eyelash reflex,dexmedetomidine 1 μg/kg and remifentanil 1 μg/kg were intravenously injected over 50-60 s in D and R groups,respectively,and 1 min later tracheal intubation was performed.The intubating conditions were graded,and the satisfactory intubating conditions and successful intubation were recorded.The development of adverse cardiovascular reactions and complications such as hyoxemia and laryngospasm before and after intubation and postoperative pharyngodynia was recorded.Results Compared with group D,no significant change was found in the success rate of intubation,rate of satisfactory intubation,intubating condition grade or incidence of postoperative pharyngodynia (P> 0.05),and the incidence of hypertension and sinus tachycardia after intubation was significantly increased in group R (P<0.05).No pediatric patients developed hyoxemia,laryngospasn or sinus tachycardia in two groups.Conclusion When 8% sevoflurane and 60% N2O are inhaled for anesthesia induction,combing with dexmedetomidine 1 μg/kg produces better clinical efficacy than combing with remifentanil 1 μg/kg in improving the intubating conditions for pediatric patients.
