HPV16 E6/E7 Negatively Affect Radiosensitivity of Lung Cancer Cells

Objective Lung cancer cells associated with radioresistance are likely to give rise to local recurrence and distant metastatic relapse,but little is known about its underlying mechanisms.In the present paper,the effects of the HPV16 E6 and HPV16 E7 oncoprotein on the radiosensitivity of lung cancer cell lines were investigated.Methods The HPV16 E6 or HPV16 E7 oncoprotein was expressed by a transient transfection with pcDNA3-HPV16 E6 or pcDNA3-HPV16 E7 expression vector.Human lung cancer H2179 cells and mouse lung cancer Lewis cells were exposed to a γ-ray radiation source,cellular survival was evaluated by using a colony formation assay.The expression of HPV16 oncoproteins E6/E7,extracellular signal-regulated kinases 1/2(ERK1/2) and AKT signaling was determined by Western blot assay.VEGF secretion was determined by ELISA.Results Both HPV16 oncoproteins E6 and E7 significantly decreased radiosensitivity of H2179 cells,associated with a promotion of the ERK1/2 and AKT phosphorylation.A decrease of reactive oxygen species(ROS) and an increase of VEGF levels were observed in the cells expressing the HPV16 oncoproteins E6 and E7.Furthermore,a similar reduction of radiosensitivity mediated by the HPV16 oncoproteins E6 and E7 was also observed in a mouse lung cancer Lewis cells.Conclusion The findings indicate that the HPV16 oncoproteins E6 and E7 negatively affects susceptibility of lung cancer cells to radiotherapy via regulation of the ERK1/2 and Akt signaling pathway and VEGF expression.     

Learning From Biomarkers in Victims Accidentally Exposed to Ionizing Radiation

Biomarkers,such as chromosome aberration and micronuclei assays,prove to be reliable for facilitating clinical diagnosis in radiation accidents.In a radiation accident in India,chromosomal aberration,γ-H2AX,as well as other blood markers,were detected in accidentally exposed victims.This multi-parametric approach aided in confirming that individuals had been exposed by ionizing radiation.However,doses were impossible to estimate because of a 30-day delay in accident awareness.Exposure dose for victims was estimated using a dose-response curve previously established.Dose estimation,blood cell depletion kinetics,and no appearance of prodromal symptoms suggested that doses of exposure were low.Hematologic investigation,sampling time,and chromosome aberration scoring were all proposed according to data from the victims exposed to 60Co.Finally,knowledge regarding chromosome aberration analysis and the importance of international co-operation and assistance should be shared from this accident.

补充维生素B2对急性低氧暴露小鼠血浆代谢组的影响

目的 观察补充维生素B2对急性低氧暴露小鼠外周血代谢组的影响.方法 采用随机数字表法将35只雄性昆明小鼠随机分为:正常对照组,低氧对照组,2倍、4倍及8倍维生素B2补充组,每组7只.以相应饲料(维生素B2含量分别为6 mg/kg、12 mg/kg、24 mg/kg和48 mg/kg)喂养2周后,除正常对照组外,其它各组均在模拟6000 m高度停留8 h,采集血浆,以核磁共振的方法分析其代谢组变化.结果 急性低氧暴露后,各组动物血浆代谢组在得分图中呈聚类型分布,且有先分离后同归的代谢模式变化轨迹,显示出补充不同剂量维生素B2后小鼠血浆代谢组逐渐恢复的趋势.代谢模式产生差别的原因是脂类、乳酸、丙氨酸、N-乙酰糖蛋白、谷氨酸、胆碱、牛磺酸、糖、肉碱、甘氨酸和肌酐等物质的水平发生了变化,表明相关的代谢途径发生了变化.结论 补充维生素B2使急性低氧暴露机体碳水化合物、脂肪、蛋白质代谢发生改变,而维生素B2可以改善碳水化合物代谢,并可能通过肉碱间接调节了脂肪代谢;同时还发现一些氨基酸代谢发生显著变化. Abstract： Objective To observe the effects of vitamin B2 supplementation on plasma metabonome of the mice which exposed to acute hypoxia. Methods Thirty-five male Kunming mice were randomly and averagely divided into 5 groups, among which the control and hypoxia control groups were fed the fodder containing 6, 12, 24, 48 mg/kg vitamin B2 respectively. All groups were exposed to simulated hypoxia environment (equivalent to 6000 meters above sea level) for 8 hours except control group. Nuclear magnetic resonance spectrometer was used to test the change of metabonome from collected plasma. Results After acute hypoxia exposure, the metabonome pattern in all groups showed clustering distribution in scores plot and the metabonome changes were along the trail from segregation to regression. These indicated a gradual recover tendency on plasma metabonome when different doses of vitamin B2 supplemented. The changes of lipids, lactic acid,alanine, N-acetyl-glycoprotein (NAC), glutamate, choline, taurine, glucose, carnitine, glycine and creatinine were among the factors contributing significantly to the difference of metabonome pattern and indicated the changes of related metabolic pathway. Conclusions The metabonomes of carbohydrate, lipid and protein of acute hypoxia mice are improved by vitamin B2 supplementation.Vitamin B2 is helpful to improve carbohydrate metabolism and indirectly accommodate lipid metabolism through carnitine. Vitamin B2 supplementation also results in the significant change of amino acid metabonome.

Optimization of the system of medical service of students of Cadet Schools of the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation

One of the factors of the successful military career guidance Cadet schools students is preserving and promoting their health. Medical support of children and adolescents aged 10-17 years should include the full range of medical and preventive measures defined for this group. The state of providing outpatient care for pupils at the Cadet School in St. Petersburg was studied. These results show that full medical care in accordance with the standards can be based only on children's health clinics. It is important that the organization of medical support pupils cadet schools should be cooperate with civilian health care.     

Estimation of accumulated dose of radiation by method of ESR-spectrometry of dental enamel of mammals

ESR-spectrometry was used to investigate radiation-induced paramagnetic centers in enamel of mammals: carnivores (polar bear and fox), ungulates (reindeer, European bison, moose), and man. Values at half the microwave power saturation of the radiation signal, P_1/2, evaluated at room temperature, was found to range from 16 to 26 mW for animals and man. A new approach to discrimination of the radiation induced signal from the total ESR spectrum of reindeer enamel is proposed. ‘Dose-response’ dependencies of enamel of different species mammals were measured within the dose range from 0.48 up to 10.08 Gy. Estimations of ‘radiosensitivity’ enamel of carnivores and ungulates showed good agreement with radiosensitivity enamel of man by ESR method.
