Objective The present study was designed to elucidate the effect of baicalin on the proliferation of vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) and the neointimal hyperplasia after balloon injury and the related mechanism. METHODS Cell culture, MTT assay, Western blotting and immunohistochemical staining were adopted to evaluate the inhibitory effects of baicalin on VSMC proliferation. RESULTS Baicalin inhibited cell proliferation induced by PDGF in a dose-dependent (5、10、20、40 μmol/L) manner, reduced proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA) expression and blocked PDGFR-MEK-ERK1/2 signaling pathway activated by PDGF in VSMCs. In vivo, baicalin significantly inhibited neointimal hyperplasia induced by balloon injury. The ratio of intima-to-media area (I/M) in baicalin group was significantly less than that in balloon injury group (P<0.01). The expression of PCNA, ICAM-1 and VCAM-1 were significantly reduced in baicalin group, compared with the balloon injury group. CONCLUSIONS Baicalin inhibits neointimal hyperplasia via inhibiting VSMC proliferation and adhesion molecule expression induced by balloon injury.

Objective To investigate the role of nuclear factor Nrf2 in the expression of UGT1A and its isoforms induced by EGCG in colon cancer. Methods We used the technology of RNA interference to block the expression of Nrf2 in HT-29 cell line in vitro, and cultivated the cell line to the phase of logarithmic growth. Using HT-29-siNrf2 cell line we constructed subcutaneous cancer model in the BALB/cA nude mice. Using subcutaneous tumor we constructed orthotopic colon cancer model in nude mice. After having been administrated with low-, medium- and high-dose EGCG for 4 weeks，the orthotopic colon cancer was peeled. The protein expression of Nrf2 of colon cancer was detected by IHC and the mRNA levels of Nrf2, UGT1A, UGT1A8 and UGT1A10 were detected by RT-PCR. Results The body weights of the mice，the inhibition rate of orthotopic colon cancer and the protein expression of Nrf2 detected by IHC had no significant difference compared with those of mice in model group. The mRNA levels of Nrf2, UGT1A, UGT1A8 and UGT1A10 detected by RT-PCR had no significant difference. Conclusion Nrf2 could play a critical role in the expression of UGT1A and its isforms induced by EGCG.

Objective To investigate the role of P73α in relation to cellular chemosensitivity in cultured human bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells. Methods To construct the retrovirus vector expressing P73α and transfect human bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells.Chemosensitivity and apoptosis were examined in the exogenous over-expressed cells. Results Our results showed that retrovirus can successfully induce human P73α expression in bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells, over-expression of ectopic P73α resulted in a significant increase of cellular sensitivity to cisplatin. Enhanced chemosentivity in P73α transfected cells was attributed by the increase of cellular apoptosis. Moreover, co-activation of pro-apoptotic factors Bax and P21 was observed in the transfected cells after cisplatin treatment. Conclusion Our findings suggested that P73α is an important determinant of cellular chemosensitivity to cisplatin in the human bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells.

Objective This paper aims to generate a cell line overexpressing SOCS1 protein and investigate the protective effect of SOCS-1 on apoptosis of pancreatic β cell. Methods The rat SOCS-1 coding sequence was amplified and subcloned into pEGFP-C1 vector. The recombinant plasmid pEGFP-C1-SOCS1 was transfected into RINm5F cell line (insulin-secreting tumor cell line). We generated a rat RINm5F cell line overexpressing recombinant plasmid pEGFP-C1-SOCS1. Cells were treated by several cytokines, including TNF-α, IL-1β, IFN-r, IL-1β+IFN-r, IL-1β+TNF-α+IFN-r. The cellular apoptosis were measured by RT-PCR and Western blot. Results We have generated a rat RINm5F cell line overexpressing SOCS1 protein successfully. The expression level of the iNOS mRNA was significantly increased in RINm5F cells after treated by IFN-r, IL-1β+IFN-r, IL-1β+TNF-α+IFN-r, but not SOCS1-RINm5F cells. Western blot analysis demonstrated that the expression and activity of caspase-3 was significantly increased in RINm5F cells after treated by all cytokines. However, the caspase-3 expression and activity was not significantly different in SOCS1-RINm5F cells after treated by cytokines. Conlusion Overexpression of SOCS-1 can reduced cytokine-induced pro-apoptotic gene expression in pancreatic β cells.

Objective To study the attachment and subsequent entry of H5N1 virus to A549 cells and Hep-2 cells. Methods Expression of SAa2,3Gal and SAa2,6Gal on A549 cells and Hep-2 cells was examined by using lectin fluorescence and flow cytometry. H5N1 virus entry into A549 and Hep-2 cells was measured by indirect immuno?uorescence assay. The entry efficiency was determined by Western blot analysis. Results SAa2,3Gal was prevalent in A549 cells and Hep-2 cells, while SAa2,6 Gal was little found. Furthermore, SAa2,3Gal expression was more regularly observed in Hep-2 cells, rather than A549 cells. The H5N1 virus tested could enter A549 cells and Hep-2 cells. However, viral entry efficiency differed between the two cell lines tested. A549 cells were found to be more susceptible to avian influenza than Hep-2 cells. H5N1-induced cell death was inefficient in A549 cells than Hep-2 cells. Conclusion The expression of SAa2,3Gal on the cells tested corresponded with the attachment of the H5N1 virus. However, sialic acid only may not sufficient for entry into cells.

Objective We analyzed the prostate biopsy data obtained with a transperineal ultrasound and thereafter navigated the 11-region prostate biopsy template in a sample population to evaluate prostate cancer spatial distribution characteristics. Methods From May 2004 to December 2007, 215 patients with a median prostate-specific antigen (PSA) level of 21.0 ng/ml (range 1.2 to 100) were diagnosed with prostate cancer through the transperineal ultrasound guided 11-region template prostate biopsy at Peking Union Medical College Hospital. The characteristics of our sample cancer spatial distribution were assessed in relation with different PSA levels. Results The mean positives for the cancer of regions 1-10 and region 11 (the apical region) were 61.2% vs. 66.4% in patients whose PSA > 20ng/ml , and 35.7% vs. 47.6% in patients with PSA ≤ 20ng/ml (P<0.001). The positives for cancer contained within the anterior and posterior areas were 96.5% vs. 90.9% in patients with PSA > 20ng/ml and 75.2% vs. 75.2% in patients with PSA ≤ 20ng/ml. Conclusions Our findings suggest that there is no difference in cancer distribution between anterior and posterior parts of prostate. Prostate cancers in PSA level less than 20ng/ml patients are more frequently found in the apical region, but no different rate is found in these regions in higher PSA level patients.

Recently, a new group of molecules, microRNAs, has been discovered to be aberrantly expressed in HCC and some of them are functionally involved in HCC carcinogenesis and progression. Certain microRNAs are associated with HCC subtypes, implying that microRNAs have a potential role in the diagnosis and prognosis of HCC; some of these HCC-associated microRNAs have been validated in independent cohorts, providing a molecular marker for early screening for clinical and risk assessment, but also providing a molecular basis for individual treatment of HCC.
