    Objective: We observed actions and effects of anthocyanins on antiproliferation and proapoptosis in human colon cancer cells LS174T, making further investigation of anti-cancer mechanism of blueberry anthocyanin, accordingly, those provide the experimental basis for the prevention and therapy of colon cancer in clinic. Methods: Colon cancer cells ls174t were cultured in vitro,treating LS174T cells with blueberry anthocyanins (25、50、100 and 200μg/mL).We tested the effects of blueberry anthocyanins on proliferation and apoptosis by CCK and Hoechst 33258 chromatin staining dye; We analyzed mRNA expression of apoptosis-related genes(including p53、ccnd3、p73、sfn、caspase8 and fam200a) by real-time PCR. In addition, protein levels of caspase8 and p73 were also analyzed using western blot. Results: The blueberry anthocyanins suppressed the proliferation and induced the apoptosis of LS174T cells respectively in a dose-dependent and time-dependent manners; the expression of ccnd3、p73 and sfn mRNA were up-regulated while the expression of caspase8、fam200a and p53 mRNA were down-regulated; the expression of protein levels of caspase8 and p73 were down-regulated and up-regulated respectively. Conclusion: Blueberry anthocyanins induce cell cycle arrest and apoptosis of colon cancer LS174T cells, which were associated with an up-regulation of the expression of tumor suppressor p73 and a down-regulation of the expression of caspase8.

    Objective To investigate the effects of iron overload induced oxidative stress on the expression of c-MYC protein in human breast cancer cells. Methods The human breast cancer MCF-7 cells were treated by 0, 50 and 500 μmol/L ferrous sulfate respectively. After 24 hours, immunocytochemistry stain and western blot methods were used to investigate the changes of reactive oxygen species and the expression of IRP1、IRP2、c-MYC、P-ERK、GSK、PP2A protein. The changes of ROS activity and c-MYC protein were further examed by blocking NADPH oxidase pathway using Diphenyliodonium iodide (DPI). Result With the increase of ferrous sulfate, both ROS activity of and IRP2 protein expression of MCF-7 cell were increased significantly (P<0.05), but IRP1 was not. Iron overload also increased c-MYC protein expression, and enhanced the levels of phosphorylation of ERK1/2 and reduced the expressions of GSK and PP2A proteins (P<0.05). NADPH oxidase inhibitor (DPI) could significantly inhibit the enhancement of ROS activity and the expression of c-MYC protein (P<0.05). Conclusion Iron overload may enhance the expression of c-MYC protein by upregulated ROS activity.

Methods Three groups were devided as blank, siRNA-control and siRNA-14-3-3ζ groups. The 14-3-3ζ-siRNA was transfected into SGC-7901 cells by LipofectamineTM 2000. The gene silencing effect of siRNA targeting 14-3-3ζ was determined by quantity real-time PCR (RT-qPCR) and western blot at mRNA and protein levels respectively. Cell proliferation was detected by CCK8 assay. The cell cycle and apoptosis were detected by flow cytometry (FCM). The protein levels of p53, cylinD1, PUMA, Bax and Bcl-2 were analyzed by western blot. Results After transfection of 14-3-3ζsiRNA into SGC-7901 cells, the mRNA and protein levels of 14-3-3ζ were both significantly reduced. Compared with the control groups, the down-regulation of 14-3-3ζ in SGC-7901 cells resulted in significant decrease of cell proliferation (P<0.05). FCM showed significant increase G0/G1 phase of cell cycle and apoptotic rate in siRNA-14-3-3ζ cells (P<0.05). Besides, down-regulation of 14-3-3ζ cells also increased the expression of p53, PUMA and Bax protein, reduced the expression of cyclinD1 and Bcl-2 protein (P<0.05). Conclusion Down-regulation of 14-3-3ζ in SGC-7901 cells can inhibit proliferation and induce apoptosis via p53 pathway by down-regulating CcyclinD1 and Bcl-2 proteins and up-regulating PUMA and Bax proteins.

    Objective To investigate the relationship between apoptosis and cell proliferation and the expression of stat3 as well as their prognostic significance in colorectal carcinoma(CRC). Methods Samples from 129 patients with CRC and adjacent normal mucosa were analyzad for stat3 and CyclinD1 expression with immunohistochemistry, and the apoptotic index with TUNEL method. The association of stat3 expression with clinicopathological parameters, prognosis, apoptotic and proliferative activities was subsequently analyzed. Results The expression of stat3 and CyclinD1 showed significant difference (P<0.05) between CRC tissues and adjacent non-cancerous tissues. The level of AI in CRC tissues was statistically lower than that in adjacent non-cancerous tissues (P<0.05).The expression of stat3 was correlated with Dukes staging, lymph node metastasis and tumor location of CRC (P<0.05).Stat3 expression was positively correlated with CyclinD1 (P<0.05).Kaplan-Meier univariate analysis revealed stat3 positive expression, Dukes staging, lymph node metastasis and AI had significance for survival time(P<0.05). Cox model analysis revealed Dukes staging was a dangerous factor for independent prognosis of CRC. Conclusions Stat3 might participate in the development and progression of colorectal cancer. Stat3 protein can be acted as index to judge lymph node metastases and prognosis assessment of colorectal carcinoma.

    Melanoma differentiation-associated gene-7 (MDA-7)/interleukin 24(IL24) is a member of the IL-10 family of cytokines, mainly expressed in human spleen, thymus, peripheral blood leukocytes and normal melanocytes. Recently, several studies have shown that IL24 is a unique inhibitor of tumor cells, significantly inhibiting tumor cell growth and proliferation, invasion, metastasis and angiogenesis, and inducing apoptosis in tumor cells. Moreover, increasing evidence implies thatIL24 mayalso enhance chemotherapy sensitivity and kill a variety of tumor cells without harming the normal cells. However, the molecular mechanism behind these effects is still not fully understood yet.

    High airway mucus secretion is mainly characterized by the changes of airway mucus in the physicochemical property, including the changes of mucus components which are mainly changed with MUC5AC and mucous secretory cells which are mainly changed from mucus cells to goblet cells. The harmful inhalation substance mainly in cigarette smoke and bacterial infection are the main irritants to induce the high airway mucus secretion. Besides, heat shock protein, signal transduction pathway and the increase of MUC5AC expression are the major mechanisms of high airway mucus secretion .

    microRNAs are endogenous non-coding RNA molecules of about 22 nucleotides that play a key role in posttranslational gene silencing.Circulation miRNA, such as miR-146a, miR-223, miR-150, miR-15 and miR-16, play important roles in the evaluation of septic patients' status. In this article, we summarize the recent progress on the circulating miRNAas biomarkers for the diagnosis of sepsis and how miRNAs regulate the inflammatory responses in sepsis.

    Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is a common endocrine disease, with reproductive functional disturbance and metabolic disorders. However, its etiology and pathogenesis are not clear yet. Inside the cell, phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase/Protein Kinase B (PI3K-Akt) is one of the important signal pathway, and the change of PI3K-Akt signal pathway is related to processes of PCOS, such as insulin resistance, adipocyte differentiation, cell proliferation, treatment and prognosis.

    It is a significant change from classic teaching to online learning. Self-regulated online learningis a further step based on online learning, which includes personalized learning, active learning and scientific learning . In the framework of onlineself-regulated learning system, PDCA cycle as a learning strategy is the key process. Management, technical and interface factorsplay three differentroles,which have various influence to this PDCA cycle. Peking Union Medical College Hospital merges traditional teaching model into a self-regulated on linelearning in clinical training and thus developed a new type clinical education theory as well as practicing technology.
