Objective　To investigate targeting delivery of a peptide with high affinity to human breast cancer in different types of human breast cancer cells. Methods　Gene of peptide was clone into pGEX-2T vector. The fusion proteins of glutathione-S-transferase (GST) and peptide sequence CASPSGALRSC (PⅠ), named GST-PⅠ, were expressed in BL21 (DE3) and purified by GST affinity column. The purified fusion protein was detected by SDS-PAGE and Western-blotting. Immunostaining analysis was used to determine the transduction of GST-PⅠ fusion protein into the MDA-MB-231 cells and other three human breast cancer cell lines were selected as control. Results　A series of pGEX-2T-PⅠ vectors were constructed. The result of Western-blotting showed that the fusion protein was well immunoreacted with the mouse anti Schistosom a japonica GST monoclonal antibody. Immunostaining analysis showed that, contrasted to controls, GST-PⅠ could targetingly permeate into the MDA-MB-231 cells. Conclusions GST-PⅠ, a fusion protein with expected molecular mass, was expressed. PⅠ can mediate the fusion proteins across the cell membrane. It can be used as a targeting vector to delivery bimolecular agent in gene therapy cases of breast cancer.

Objective To observe the effect of microinjection of oxytocin (OT) into paraventricular nucleus (PVN) on gastric ischemia-reperfusion (GI-R) injury and its local molecular mechanism. Methods GI-R injury was induced in rats by clamping the celiac artery for30 min and then reperfusing for 1 h. A cannula was inserted into the unilateral PVN for microinjection of OT. The gastric mucosal injury index was counted grossly. The expressions of Akt and caspase-3 in rat gastric mucosa were examined by Western blot and by immunohistochemistry. Results Microinjection of OT into PVN dose-dependently attenuated gastric mucosal injury subjected to GI-R. Microinjection OT into PVN significantly increased the expression of Akt protein and decreased the level of caspase-3 in gastric mucosal following GI-R. The effects of OT were prevented by pretreatment with OT receptor antagonist atosiban into the lateral cerebral ventricle. Conclusion Microinjection of OT into PVN significantly protected against GI-R injury. These central effects of OT are mediated by its receptors. The local mechanisms were mediated by increasing Akt expression, which in turn leads to inhibit caspase-3 expression.

Objective To explore the role of pulmonary neuroendocrine cells（PNECs）in damage and repair of airway by the changes of amount, distribution of PNECs after bronchoplasty. Methods 30 sprague dawley rats were randomly divided into three groups according to sample taking time after left principal bronchoplasty：1 week, 1 month, 3 months, and another 10 rats without bronchoplasty were used as normal control. The quantity and distribution of PNECs were studied by Grimelius silver stain. Both serotonin (5-HT) positive PNECs and calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) positive PNECs were studied by imnunohistochemistry. Results PNECs were mainly found in the epithelium of the bronchus and terminal bronchioles. Some PNECs formed into neuroepithlial bodies (NEB). 1 wk after bronchoplasty, the amount of PNECs was significantly increased, and gradually declined to the normal control after 3 months . Except their location in the larger bronchi, 5-HT positive PNECs and CGRP positive PNECs did the same in number and NEB formed. Conclusion The quantity of PNEC and 5-HT positive PNEC and CGRP positive PNEC were significantly increased after bronchoplasty. It deduced that PNEC might be taken part in damage and repair of airway.

Objective To explore differentiation in-vitro of rat adipose-derived stem cells into photoreceptor cells and RPE cells.Methods: The ADSCs were cultured by adhering to the flask surface and purified by continual passage. Surface antigens including CD45、CD90、CD49d、CD106 were indentified by flow cytometry. ADSCs were induced to differentiate by EGF, activin A, taurine, retinoic acid（RA） and extracted liquid of retina respectively. Meanwhile, ADSCs were induced by EGF＋taurine, EGF＋RA, taurine + RA, EGF＋taurine＋RA respectively. Immunofluorescence was used for detecting the expression of rhodopsin, CK and S-100, and flow cytometry was used for quantification. Results: For primary culture，the phenotypes of ADSCs were: CD45, CD90, CD49d and CD106, with a positive percentage of 1.6%, 71.3%, 7.8% and 3.5%, respectively. From passage 1 to 5, these phenotypes were: CD45（0.8%~9.3%）, CD90（84.7%~94.8%）, CD49d（16.8%~31.0%）and CD106（8.3%~22.2%）. There was a higher CD49d percentage than CD106 in all the passages. The induction efficacy of ADSCs was 17.5%～46.0% for rhodopsin, 19.7%～79.3% for CK and 27.3%～50.7% for S-100. Conclusion: It is suggested that ADSC has potential to differentiate into photoceptors and RPE cells as evidenced by the presence of the specific markers of photoceptors(rhodopsin) and RPE markers(CK and S-100).

Objective: To explore the effect of SP600125, a specific c-jun NH2 terminal protein kinase (JNK) inhibitor, on apoptosis and cell-cycle arrest of the human esophageal cancer cell line Eca-109 induced by 2-(3-carboxy-1-oxopropyl)amino-2-deoxy-D-Glucose （COPADG）and the possible molecular mechanism in COPADG-induced cell apoptosis was discussed. Methods: Eca-109 cells were cultured by using RPMI-1640 and calf serum. Eca-109 cells were pre-incubated with SP600125 for 30min prior to exposure to COPADG at different concentrations and for different time. Changes in expression of P-JNK protein were examined by Western blot；Cell growth inhibitory rate was detected by MTT colorimetric assay；Apoptosis rate and cell-cycle arrest was analyzed by flow cytometry. Results: COPADG could significantly inhibit the proliferation of Eca-109 cells and induce them to apoptosis and cell-cycle arrest in G0/G1 phase. Western blot showed that the protein expression of P-JNK was increased in a dose-dependent manner in Eca-109 cells after stimulated by COPADG. SP600125 remarkablely decreased the protein expression of P-JNK as well as the apoptosis rate and cell growth inhibitory rate in Eca-109 cells induced by COPADG as compared with those treated with only COPADG, meanwhile, cell-cycle arrest in G0/G1 phase progressed to cell-cycle arrest in G2/M phase. .Conclusion: JNK signaling pathway may play an important role in apoptosis of Eca-109 induced by the COPADG.

Objective To evaluate whether the expressing vector pGenesil-1 encoding enhanced green fluorescent protein (EGFP) could be transfected into A549 human lung cancer cells mediated by nano-hydroxyapatite (nHAP) and to determine the transfection efficiency. Methods The nHAP was synthesized by the homogeneous precipitation method. The structure of the nanoparticles was observed under transmission electron microscope. The nHAP was prepared using ultrasonication and Na2CO3 and was modified with poly-L-lysine (PLL) at pH 7.4. The transfection of pGenesil-1 into A549 was divided into three groups as follows: nHAP-PLL group (n=8) mediated by nano-hydroxyapatite modified with poly-L-lysine (nHAP-PLL), liposome group (n=8) mediated by Lipofectamine and control group (n=8). After 48 hours transfection, the expression of EGFP was observed with fluorescent microscope. Flow cytometry was used to detect the transfection rate of each group. Results Under transmission electron microscope, the synthesized product presented needle-like and well dispersed particles with evenly distributed sizes of (15~20nm)×(60~80nm). Under fluorescent microscope, the expression of EGFP was detected in A549 cells of nHAP-PLL group and liposome group while no expression of EGFP was seen in A549 cells of control group at 48 hours post transfection. Flow cytometry analyses showed that, the transfection rate of A549 cells was (31.8±1.9)% of nHAP-PLL group and (33.4±3.7)% of liposome group. Compared with the control group, there was significant difference respectively (P<0.01), but there was no significant difference of transfection rate between nHAP-PLL group and liposome group (P>0.01). Conclusion The nHAP modified with poly-L-lysine can mediate the transfection of plasmid into A549 human lung cancer cells.

Objective To study the expression of CD105 in laryngeal carcinoma and evaluate the clinical significance of microvessel density（MVD）. Methods Pathologic paraffin-embedded sections and clinic data from 40 patients with primary squmamous cell carcinoma of larynx were studied through immunohistochemistry. Microvessel density (MVD) highlighted by CD105 and CD34 were counted according to a standard protocol . Results CD105 expression in tumour tissue was significantly higher than normal health mucosa. The mean CD105-MVD value of T3 and T4 tumours showed a significantly higher staining than T1 and T2；The mean CD105-MVD value of tumours with metastasis was also markedly higher than tumours with no metastasis；The diffenerce of mean CD105-MVD value between in 16 patients with recurred laryngeal carcinoma and in 20 patients with unrecurred laryngeal carcinoma for two years of follow-up was markedly significant（P﹤0.05）. Conclusion CD105 is a marker of tumour angiogenesis and an independent indicator of predicting invasion，metastasis and recurrence , and evaluating prognosis of malignant tumours.

Delayed wound healing in diabetic cornea may be associated with the activation of MAPK signal pathway, impaired signal transduction of TGF-β signal pathway, abnormal expression of genes related to insulin signal pathway and reduced expression of insulin receptor. In addition, the activation of NF-κb and cytochrome C signal pathway also has harmful influence on delayed wound healing. This paper reviews research progress about signal pathway of delayed wound healing in diabetic cornea.

MELAS syndrome (mitochondrial myopathy encephalophathy with lactic acidosis and stroke-like episodes), as one of the most common diseases in mitochondrial encephalomyopathies, is characterized by highly variable manifestations. So, more and more people come to realize the importance of molecular basis of MELAS. This review took the commonest mtDNA point mutation (A3243G) for example to overview its molecular biological mechanism, test strategy and recent progress of study on MELAS syndrome.
