To establish a fluorescence-labeled Corynebacterium pseudotuberculosis(Cp),the super-folded green fluorescent protein gene(sfGFP)fused to the red fluorescent protein gene(mCher-ry)was cloned into pXMJ19 and expressed in Cp.The fluorescent signals of recombinant Cp cul-tured under different pH values,and the visualized detection of bacteria in the macrophages J774A.1 or mice infected with recombinant Cp were evaluated.The results showed that a double fluores-cence labeled XH02-pXMJ19-sfGFPmCherry(XH02-sfGFPmCherry)was successfully construc-ted by electrotransformation of Cp with pXMJ19-sfGFPmCherry,which containing sfGFP fused to mCherry.The colony morphology of XH02-sfGFPmCherry on fresh blood agar plates was pink.The XH02-sfGFP mCherry showed green and red fluorescence when observed under the fluo-rescence microscope.Compared with cultivation at pH7.0,XH02-sfGFPmCherry showed a signifi-cant decrease in green fluorescence intensity(fluorescence intensity/D600)at pH5.0,but signifi-cantly increased in red fluorescence intensity at pH5.0.Green and red fluorescences of Cp were ob-served in the XH02-sfGFPmCherry-infected J774A.1 in vitro or in the liver and kidney of XH02-sfGFPmCherry-infected mice in vivo,and with good overlap of two kinds of fluorescences.This study demonstrates that the constructed dual fluorescent labeled Cp can efficiently express both red and green fluorescent proteins,and express the dominant fluorescent signals under different pH value conditions,which can be used for Cp monitoring in vitro infection of macrophages and in vivo infection of mice by this pathogen,and providing potential tool for the localization and tracing research of Cp infection.

Tumor metastasis is one of the important biological characteristics of malignant tumor,which is closely related with the prognosis of the cancer patients.High expression of ADAM8 in varieties of tumors was revealed in many recent studies,and such aberrant expression played a crucial role in regulating of tumor metastasis.Studies showed that overexpression of ADAM8 attenuated the intercellular adhesion effect,promoted tumor angiogenesis,and enhanced the degradation of ECM as well as the releasing of cytokines.Therefore,suppression of ADAM8 may lead to inhibition of tumor metastasis,which makes ADAM8 a particular attractive target as it can be used as a prognostic indicator and a potential therapeutic target of malignant tumor.A review about the relations between ADAM8 protein′s abnormal expression and tumor occurrence was discussed in this paper,also include discussion about the mechanisms of ADAM8 protein′s disorder-induced tumor formation,as well as therapeutic strategies based on ADAM8-targeted,which may provide references for follow-up research and clinical treatment.

Objective To study effects ofDanlong Xingnao Formula (DLXNF) on proliferation of neural stem cells (NSCs) and the expressions of Hes1 and Hes5 in sub ventricular zone (SVZ) in cerebral ischemia-reperfusion injury model rats; To explore the mechanism of promoting the proliferation of NSCsMethods Eighty male SD rats were randomly divided into sham-operation group, model group, edaravone group andDLXNF group. The focal cerebral ischemia reperfusion injury models were prepared by suture method, and 7 d after reperfusion, the SVZ brain tissue of ischemia side was taken. The proliferation of cells was detected by Brdu labeling fluorescence immunocytochemistry; Hes1, Hes5 mRNA and protein expressions were detected by fluorescence real-time quantitative PCR and Western blot method in each group.Results Compared with the sham-operation group, Brdu positive cell rate in other groups increased more obviously, and the expressions of Hes1, Hes5 mRNA and protein also increased significantly (P<0.01). Compared with the model group, Brdu positive cell rate increased significantly in edaravone group and DLXNF group, and the expressions of Hes1, Hes5 mRNA and protein increased significantly (P<0.01). The expression of Hes1 mRNA in DLXNF group was superior to that in edaravone group (P<0.01), and other indexes had no significant difference.Conclusion DLXNF can promote the proliferation of NSCs in SVZ in cerebral ischemia-reperfusion injury model rats, and up-regulate the expressions of Hes1 and Hes5, whose mechanism may be related to the activation of Notch signaling pathway.

Objective To study the relationship of proliferation of neural stem cells (NSCs) in SVZ and the expressions of c-jun and c-myc in rats with middle cerebral artery occlusion/reperfusion (MCAO/R) injury model administrated byDanlong XingnaoFormula.Methods The focal cerebral ischemia reperfusion injury models were prepared by longa method. Totally 150 male SD rats were randomly divided into sham-operation group, cerebral model group,Danlong XingnaoFormula low-, medium-, and high-dose groups. The treatment groups were given corresponding dose ofDanlong XingnaoFormula, while the sham-operation group and model group were given the same amount of distilled water 24 h after modeling by gavage, once a day, 7 days in a row. 1 d, 3 d and 7 d after reperfusion, modified Neurological Severity Scores (m-NSS) was used to grade neurologic impairment. 7 d after reperfusion taken to the SVZ brain tissue of ischemia side, Brdu immunohistochemical method was used to record the BrdU positive cells number. The hippocampal c-jun, c-myc mRNA and protein expressions were determined respectively by RT-qPCR method and Western blot method.Results Grades of neurologic impairment in others groups were improved obviously than sham-operation group (P<0.01); 3 d, and 7 d after reperfusion, grades of neurologic impairment inDanlong XingnaoFormula groups were obviously lower compared with model group (P<0.05,P<0.01). Brdu positive cell rates in others groups increased obviously compared with sham-operation group; Compared with model group, Brdu positive cell rates inDanlong XingnaoFormula groups increased obviously (P<0.01). The expressions of c-jun and c-myc protein and mRNA inDanlong XingnaoFormula groups improved obviously than sham-operation group and model group (P<0.01).ConclusionDanlong Xingnao Formula can improve the neural function after cerebral ischemia and stimulate the proliferation of NSCs, and the mechanism may be related to activating the expression of c-jun and c-myc and extending the duration.

The study on tumor metabolism has been gradually be-come a hot spot in recent years .A lot of proteins involved in the regulation of tumor metabolism especially the glucose transporter protein 1(GLUT1).As a key regulatory factor mediating energy metabolism within tumor cells , GLUT1 can regulate the glucose intake and maintain the basic level of metabolism in tumor cells . More importantly, the abnormal expression of GLUT1 was asso-ciated with many kinds of tumors , of which GLUT1 was used to meet the energy requirement for the fast growth of tumor .Thus GLUT1 also played a crucial role in growth , differentiation and metastasis of tumor cells and prognosis of tumors .Meanwhile , as three-dimensional crystal structure of GLUT 1 was determined , it is possible to design the small molecular inhibitors of GLUT 1, which can realize “starve to death” tumor cells.GLUT1 can be a particularly attractive target for tumor treatment and interfer-ence.The relationship between abnormal expression of GLUT 1 protein and tumor metabolism was reviewed . Moreover , the mechanism of tumor metabolism regulated by GLUT 1 protein ex-pression and treatment of cancers were discussed , which may provide references for future research and clinical treatment .

Aim To discuss the impact of important ac-tive ingredient of garlic diallyl sulfide———DATS on platelet activating factor (PAF ) mediated melanoma metastasis and its mechanisms.Methods ①MTT was used to test the effect of different concentrations of DATS on B16F10 and A375 melanoma cell growth number;②Scratch test and transwell were employed to test the effect of different concentrations of DATS on B16F10 and A375 melanoma cell migration;③ West-ern blot was used to test the effect of DATS on expres-sion of MMP-2,ERK,p38 induced by PFA;④Intrave-nous injection of tumor metastasis model was used to check the inhibition of DATS in PAF-mediated melano-ma metastasis.Results B16F10 cells relative growth rate fell to 73.21% and 48.78%,respectively,when DATS concentration reached 50 and 100 μmol·L-1 . DATS inhibited the levels of PAF-induced migration of melanoma cells B16F10 and vertical migration signifi-cantly,and inhibited B16F10 cells migration induced by PAF through inhibiting the expression of MMP-2, paxillin protein,FAK and other proteins.Conclusion DATS can significantly inhibit PAF-induced tumor metastasis, which is related to the inactivation of MAPKs.

Aim To observe the effects of the total fla-vonoids of scutellaria barbataon ( TFSB ) on high-fat
feeding ApoE gene deficiency mice in early atheroscle-rosis ( AS ) and its underlying mechanisms. Methods
40 ApoE-/ -male mice were divided into five groups:model group, SIM group and L-TFSB, M-TFSB, H-TFSB group, 5 C57BL/6J mice were selected as nor-mal control group. All mice in experimental group were fed with high-lipid diet for 4 weeks and all mice were killed after 8 weeks. H&E staining was used to observe morphology of aorta. Blood rheometer was used to ex-amine plasm viscosity and whole blood viscosity. Fully automatic biochemical analyser was used to detect the serum levels of TG, TC, LDL-C and HDL-C. The ex-pression levels of PLTP and VE in serum were meas-ured by ELISA. The expression levels of PLTP and FXR in liver were examined by Western blot. Results The model was established successfully. TFSB groups could improve the aorta AS morphology of model mice and significantly reduce the serum levels of TG, TC and LDL-C, while increase the level of HDL-C ( P<0. 05 or P<0. 01 ) . TFSB groups could decrease the
hematocrit value, plasma viscosity and whole blood vis-cosity of AS model mice significantly and had statistical significance when compared with model group ( P <0. 01 ) . The expression levels of PLTP of serum were reduced significantly when compared with model group ( P <0. 01 ) . We also found that the expression of PLTP was in negative correlation with VE ( r = -0. 675,P<0. 01). M-TFSB and H-TFSB group could decrease the expressions of PLTP and FXR of liver when compared with model group ( P <0. 01 ) . Con-clusion TFSB may exert its anti-AS effect partly through inhibiting the levels of FXR and PLTP of ApoE-/ -mice, increasing the level of VE, regulating blood lipids, improving blood rheology and reducing the damage of AS in mice.

Tumor metastasis is one of the most important biologi-cal characteristics of malignant tumor, and it is also the main factor resulting in poor prognosis and leading to failure of treat-ment. In recent years, studies have shown that the extracellular matrix ( ECM) of tumor microenvironment plays a critical role in tumor metastasis. Tumor ECM fibrogenesis could form the cross-linked network structure, which not only provides nutrition and support to tumor, also it is necessary to tumor growth and inva-sion. These research results indicate that blocking ECM fibro-genesis may exert an inhibitory effect on tumor metastasis. Therefore, targeting ECM fibrogenesis has become a particularly attractive strategy as it can be used in the treatment of metasta-sis-related diseases. The ECM fibrogenesis in tumor is reviewed in this paper as well as the treatment strategies on tumor metas-tasis by targeting ECM fibrogenesis, which may provide refer-ences for follow-up research and clinical treatment.
