目的探讨肺癌组织中MMP2、MMP9及其抑制剂的表达与肺癌的生长、转移等临床特征及预后的关系.方法采用免疫组织化学法SP法检测45例肺癌组织中MMP2、MMP9及其抑制剂的表达,观察它们与肺癌的生长、TMN分期的关系.结果MMP2、MMP9、TIMP1和TIMP2在45例肺癌组织中的阳性表达率分别为57.78%(26/45)、37.78%(17/45)、35.56%(16/45)及51.11%(23/45);它们的表达与肺癌的原发灶范围、淋巴结转移、远处转移、TNM分期及平均生存时间有统计学意义(P<0.05).结论MMP2、MMP9及其抑制剂的表达与肺癌的TNM分期及平均生存时间关系密切,它们在组织中的高表达是判断肺癌预后的独立因素.     

趋化因子受体CXCR4非肽类抑制剂药效团的设计

趋化因子受体CXCR4是HIV进入宿主细胞的辅助受体之一.为了研究其抗HIV抑制剂的构效关系,6个结构多样性和拥有高活性的抑制剂被作为训练集来构建药效团模型,然后对由活性抑制剂和非活性抑制剂构成的测试集进行筛选,通过应用受试者工作特征(receiver operator characteristic,ROC)曲线和计算富集因子(enrichment factor,EF)的方法评估每个模型的预测能力与合理性.最终得到一个具有较高的ROC曲线下面积(area under curve,AUC)与富集因子的药效团模型,可用于指导新颖CXCR4抑制剂的设计及相关抗艾滋病药物的研发.     

Salicylic acid and ethylene signaling pathways are involved in production of rice trypsin proteinase inhibitors induced by the leaf folder Cnaphalocrocis medinalis （Guenee）

The roles of signaling pathways in the production of trypsin proteinase inhibitors (TrypPIs) in rice infested by the leaf folder (LF) Cnaphalocrocis medinalis were studied. Infestation by LF increased TrypPI levels in the leaves of rice plants at the tillering, booting and flowering stages but decreased TrypPI levels at the ripening stage; TrypPI levels in rice stems did not increase at any developmental stage. Infestation by LF at the tillering stage systemically increased TrypPI levels in leaves but not in stems; it also enhanced salicylic acid (SA) levels in leaves and stems, and the ethylene level released from plants. However, LF infestation did not increase JA concentrations. Exogenous application of SA or ethylene enhanced TrypPI levels in the leaves and stems of plants at the tillering stage, whereas treatment with both SA and ethylene induced lower levels of TrypPIs than treatment with SA or ethylene alone, suggesting an antagonistic effect of SA and ethylene on TrypPIs induction. The results suggest that both SA and ethylene signaling pathways are involved in the production of TrypPIs in rice induced by LF; moreover, the antagonistic effect of SA and ethylene may explain the changes in TrypPI levels seen at different plant developmental stages and in different organs.     

Rho激酶抑制剂诱导PC12和PC12Adh细胞突起生长的差异比较

 PC12细胞是研究神经分化最常用的细胞之一.在rho激酶(ROCK)抑制剂的作用下,PC12细胞能够长出神经样突起.最近,美国菌种保存中心(ATCC)同时提供PC12细胞和PC12 Adh细胞.研究的主要目的是观察ROCK抑制剂诱导这2种细胞长突起是否存在差异.PC12细胞和PC12Adh细胞按照ATCC方法进行培养,用神经生长因子(NGF,1000ng/mL)或ROCK抑制剂(33μmol/L Y27632,33μmol/L法舒地尔)处理细胞1~4d.结果发现NGF能够诱导这2种细胞生长突起,而ROCK抑制剂只诱导PC12Adh细胞长突起,对PC12细胞不明显.因此,ROCK抑制剂诱导这2种细胞突起生长存在明显差异,PC12Adh细胞更适合用于ROCK抑制剂的神经诱导分化实验.

水稻胰蛋白酶抑制剂对褐飞虱产卵刺激的响应

 昆虫产卵过程对寄主植物的直接刺激包括产卵器的机械损伤和卵表面物质带来影响,这些刺激是启动植物诱导抗虫性的重要途径。通过对褐飞虱产卵处理后水稻植株内胰蛋白酶抑制剂（BBPI）合成酶基因的表达量及物质含量的测定,对比褐飞虱取食和机械损伤处理,发现褐飞虱产卵能够诱导水稻BBPI合成酶基因的表达和BBPI物质的生成。处理后6 h,12 h,水稻 BBPI 表达量显著高于取食和机械损伤处理;产卵诱导的BBPI物质含量显著高于正常水稻。褐飞虱产卵诱导水稻启动〖WTBX〗BBPI〖WTBZ〗表达和物质合成表明,与取食危害类似,水稻同样会对褐飞虱产卵刺激产生响应,启动相应的植物防御体系,进而达到阻滞褐飞虱危害的目的。

Targeted inhibition of Livin resensitizes renal cancer cells towards apoptosis

Cancer cells are typically characterized by apoptosis deficiency. In order to investigate a possible role for the anti-apoptotic livin gene in renal cell cancer (RCC), we analyzed its expression in tumor tissue samples and in RCC-derived cell lines. In addition, we studied the contribution of livin to the apoptotic resistance of RCC cells by RNA interference (RNAi). Livin gene expression was detected in a significant portion of RCC tumor tissue specimens (13/14, 92.9%) and tumor-derived cell lines (12/15, 80.0%). Moreover, targeted inhibition of livin by RNAi markedly sensitized RCC cells towards proapoptotic stimuli, such as UV irradiation or the chemotherapeutic drugs etoposide, 5-fluorouracil, and vinblastine. These effects were specific for livin expressing tumor cells. We conclude that livin can contribute significantly to the apoptosis resistance of RCC cells. Targeted inhibition of livin could represent a novel therapeutic strategy to increase the sensitivity of renal cancers towards pro-apoptotic agents.
