miR-599和BRD4在卵巢癌中的表达及其与临床病理参数和预后的关系

目的检测miR-599、含溴结构域蛋白4 (BRD4)在上皮性卵巢癌组织中的表达情况并探讨其与患者临床病理参数和预后的关系。方法收集2012年1月-2014年3月在该院行切除术的上皮性卵巢癌组织标本47例(卵巢癌组),收集同期良性卵巢上皮组织41例(良性对照组)和正常卵巢上皮组织34例(正常对照组)作为对照。采用实时荧光定量PCR (qRTPCR)检测miR-599和BRD4 mRNA表达情况;采用免疫组化法检测BRD4蛋白表达情况;分析miR-599和BRD4与卵巢癌患者临床病理参数及预后之间的关系。结果 miR-599 mRNA在卵巢癌组、良性对照组、正常对照组中的相对表达量逐渐降低,两两比较,差异均有统计学意义(均P0. 05); BRD4 mRNA和蛋白相对表达量逐渐升高,两两比较,差异均有统计学意义(均P0. 05)。miR-599、BRD4表达与卵巢癌患者年龄、是否绝经、组织类型、淋巴结转移情况无关(P0. 05),与FIGO分期、组织分化有关(P0. 05)。Spearman检验结果显示,卵巢癌组织中miR-599与BRD4表达负相关(r=-0. 631,P0. 05)。miR-599低表达者3年存活率明显低于miR-599高表达者(41. 94%vs. 81. 25%,P0. 05); BRD4阳性表达者3年存活率明显低于BRD4阴性表达者(34. 48%vs. 88. 89%,P0. 05)。结论 miR-599在卵巢癌组织中明显低表达,BRD4显著高表达,二者与卵巢癌患者病理分化及术后生存率密切相关。     

Effect of stromal cell-derived factor-1/CXCR4 axis in neural stem cell transplantation for Parkinson’s disease

Previous studies have shown that neural stem cell transplantation has the potential to treat Parkinson’s disease,but its specific mechanism of action is still unclear.Stromal cell-derived factor-1 and its receptor,chemokine receptor 4(CXCR4),are important regulators of cell migration.We speculated that the CXCR4/stromal cell-derived factor 1 axis may be involved in the therapeutic effect of neural stem cell transplantation in the treatment of Parkinson’s disease.A Parkinson’s disease rat model was injected with 6-hydroxydopamine via the right ascending nigrostriatal dopaminergic pathway,and then treated with 5μL of neural stem cell suspension(1.5×104/L)in the right substantia nigra.Rats were intraperitoneally injected once daily for 3 days with 1.25 mL/kg of the CXCR4 antagonist AMD3100 to observe changes after neural stem cell transplantation.Parkinson-like behavior in rats was detected using apomorphine-induced rotation.Immunofluorescence staining was used to determine the immunoreactivity of tyrosine hydroxylase,CXCR4,and stromal cell-derived factor-1 in the brain.Using quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction,the mRNA expression of stromal cell-derived factor-1 and CXCR4 in the right substantia nigra were measured.In addition,western blot assays were performed to analyze the protein expression of stromal cell-derived factor-1 and CXCR4.Our results demonstrated that neural stem cell transplantation noticeably reduced apomorphine-induced rotation,increased the mRNA and protein expression of stromal cell-derived factor-1 and CXCR4 in the right substantia nigra,and enhanced the immunoreactivity of tyrosine hydroxylase,CXCR4,and stromal cell-derived factor-1 in the brain.Injection of AMD3100 inhibited the aforementioned effects.These findings suggest that the stromal cell-derived factor-1/CXCR4 axis may play a significant role in the therapeutic effect of neural stem cell transplantation in a rat model of Parkinson’s disease.This study was approved by the Animal Care and Use Committee of Kunming Medical University,China(approval No.SYXKK2015-0002)on April 1,2014.     

温阳解毒化瘀颗粒对肝衰竭IETM大鼠TLR4 mRNA,TNF-α及肝细胞凋亡的影响

目的:研究Toll样受体4(TLR4) mRNA及其下游炎性因子肿瘤坏死因子-α(TNF-α)与肝衰竭肠源性内毒素血症(IETM)大鼠肝细胞凋亡的关系,并探索温阳解毒化瘀颗粒对内毒素介导的肝细胞凋亡的调控机制。方法:SPF级雄性SD大鼠85只,随机分为正常组,模型组,TLR4单克隆抗体组和温阳解毒化瘀颗粒组(8.925 g·kg^-1)。采用D-半乳糖胺(D-Gal)腹腔注射建立肝衰竭IETM模型,TLR4单克隆抗体组和温阳解毒化瘀颗粒组在造模前5 d给予温阳解毒化瘀颗粒溶液灌胃,正常组、模型组以等容积蒸馏水代替,直至处死。各组分别在24,48,72 h随机处死大鼠并采集标本。检测24,48,72 h各组时间点血清丙氨酸氨基转移酶(ALT),天门冬氨酸氨基转移酶(AST)水平,苏木素-伊红(HE)染色观察肝组织病理变化,实时荧光定量聚合酶链式反应(Real-time PCR)检测肝组织TLR4 mRNA表达,酶联免疫吸附测定法(ELISA)检测肝组织TNF-α表达,流式细胞仪检测肝细胞凋亡率。结果:与正常组比较,模型组ALT,AST升高,肝组织病理损伤程度明显加重,TLR4mRNA,TNF-α表达均增高(P<0.05,P<0.01),肝细胞凋亡率明显上升(P<0.05,P<0.01);与模型组比较,温阳解毒化瘀颗粒组ALT,AST显著降低(P<0.01),肝组织病理损伤程度明显减轻(P<0.05),TLR4 mRNA,TNF-α表达显著下降(P<0.01),肝细胞凋亡率亦显著降低(P<0.01)。结论:TLR4 mRNA,TNF-α在肝衰竭时与肝细胞凋亡呈正相关,温阳解毒化瘀颗粒能够改善肝衰竭IETM大鼠肝功能,减轻肝细胞损伤,减少肝细胞凋亡,其机制可能与其下调肝脏TLR4 mRNA表达,抑制TNF-α释放,降低肝细胞凋亡率有关。

成纤维细胞生长因子受体4(FGFR4)是成纤维细胞生长因子受体家族成员之一,在细胞周期、细胞凋亡、DNA损伤与修复中发挥着重要的调控作用。FGFR4在不同个体中存在遗传多态性,这种遗传多态性影响其结构与功能,与乳腺癌等人类疾病的发生发展密切相关。综述FGFR4基因结构、功能以及FGFR4在人类疾病发生发展中的作用及可能机制,对指导临床治疗有积极作用。     

人附睾蛋白4与卵巢癌的研究新进展

卵巢癌为妇科最常见的恶性肿瘤之一,在女性恶性肿瘤中致死率占首位,卵巢癌早期多无症状诊断困难,因此早期诊断卵巢癌并积极采取治疗措施将会大大降低其致死率。人附睾蛋白4(human epididymis protein 4,HE4)是一种高特异度的卵巢癌肿瘤标记物,与卵巢癌的组织类型、临床分期等密切相关,可用于卵巢癌的早期诊断和预后监测。随着国内外研究的不断深入,HE4在卵巢癌方面的价值也受到越来越普遍的关注。
