Proliferation of DU145 prostate cancer cells is inhibited by suppressing insulin-like growth factor binding protein-2

BACKGROUND: Insulin-like growth factor binding protein-2 (IGFBP-2) is expressed by all human prostate cancer cell lines and dramatically increases in the serum of prostate cancer patients. However, the role of IGFBP-2 in prostatic tumorigenesis is not known. The aim of the present study was to investigate the effects of IGFBP-2 on the proliferation of DU145 human prostate cancer cells in culture. METHODS: Using cell proliferation assays, we examined the effects of exogenously administered and endogenously modulated levels of IGFBP-2 on the proliferation of DU145 cells. RESULT: Cell growth was stimulated by exogenously administered IGFBP-2, but significantly retarded (P < 0.05) by its neutralizing antibody. Overexpression of IGFBP-2 by transfection also stimulated cell growth, which was significantly (P < 0.05) inhibited in transfectants expressing antisense mRNA to IGFBP-2. Furthermore, the proliferation of IGFBP-2 overexpressing cells was significantly dampened by exogenously administered IGFBP-2 antibody. CONCLUSIONS: IGFBP-2 is an autocrine growth factor for DU145 human prostate cancer cells and cell proliferation can be significantly retarded by neutralizing or inhibiting its synthesis. These findings provide a strong rationale for targeting IGFBP-2 in the testing of novel strategies to treat prostate cancer.

抑郁发作自杀未遂患者脑源性神经营养因子水平及其相关因素研究

Objective To investigate the possible role of brain-derived neurotrophic factor(BDNF)in the pathophysiology of attempted suicide in depressive episode patients.Methods The subjects were 23 depressive episode patients who had recently attempted suicide.24 depressive episode patients without suicide attempt.and 30 sex-age-and education matched healthy controls.The Hamihon Depression Rating Scale-24 items(HAMD24),Beck Helpless Rating Scale(BHS)and Self-rating Idea of Suicide Scale (SIOSS)was used to evaluate the severitv of symptoms.The seruln level of BDNF was detected with sandwich ELISA.Pearson correlation coefficients wag used to measure the correlations between serum BDNF and the related illness variables.Results There were significant difierences in the serum level of BDNF between patients with attempted suicide,pailents without suicide attempt and normal controls(F=21.927,P＜0.05).Post hoc analysis showed the serum BDNF levels in patients with attempted suicide [(57 ±16)ng/L]were lower than that in patients without[(75±28)ns/L;P＜0.05],and were lower in patients without suicide attempt[(75 ±28)ng/L]than that in normal controls[(111 ±39)ng/L;P＜0.01].In patients with attempted suicide,the serum BDNF was negatively correlated to the duration of depressive episode(r=-0.541,P=0.008),the mean BHS score(r=-0.494,P=0.017)and the mean SIOSSscore(r=-0.754.P=0.000).Conclusion The results suggest that the decreased serum brain-derived neurotrophic factor is related to the pathophysiology of attempted suicide in depressive episode patients.     

Comparing hand-held computers and paper diaries for haemophilia home therapy: a randomized trial

Treatment of severe haemophilia with factor concentrates is by self-infusion in the home. Adherence to record keeping on paper diaries is poor. A randomized-controlled trial compared adherence with record keeping of paper diaries with hand-held computers. Forty-one individuals with severe haemophilia, were randomized to hand-held computers (n = 22) or paper diaries (n = 19) and followed for 6 months. About 86.2% (679 of 788) of infusions by patients in the computer group were in compliance with the data submission schedule compared with only 48.3% (358 of 741) of infusions by patients using paper diaries (P < 0.0001). The time intervals between infusions and the receipt of data were shorter in the computer group (median 0.25 vs. 25 days respectively, P < 0.0001). Reminder phone calls by the clinic were made less frequently to users of hand-held computers than to users of paper diaries (median one vs. five times, P < 0.0001). Accuracy of data was similar for both methods. Compliance with hand-held computers was superior to paper diaries. The clinic received data from hand-held computers mostly on the same day, and nurses could thereby provide clinical advice more effectively. Although hand-held computers did not result in increased accuracy, errors could be detected and corrected more rapidly. Electronic data can more easily be verified, analysed and summarized than that from paper diaries.

神经生长因子基因转染联合强化铁营养防治豚鼠爆震性聋的实验研究

Objective To study the protective effects of adenovirus-mediated human beta-nerve growth factor gene (hNGFβ) transfer combined with iron fortified nutrition on blast hearing damage in guinea pigs. Methods Deafness was induced by blast (172dB SPL) in 35 healthy guinea pigs. Seven days after noise exposure, 10 guinea pigs were inoculated with adenovirus-mediated hNGFβ (Ad-hNGFβ) into the perilymphatic space (the gene group), another 10 guinea pigs were given hNGFβ combined with iron fortified nutritional diet (the combination group), still another 10 guinea pigs were inoculated with artificial perilymphatic fluid (APF), and 5 guinea pigs served as control, given neither medicine nor noise exposure. Auditory brainstem response (ABR) threshold shifts were monitored in the guinea pigs before blast exposure and after gene transfer. Changes in cochlear morphology were examined with immunohistochemical and HE staining. Results One week after successful inoculation of hNGFβ, it was noted that Ad-hNGFβ protein was expressed in each turn of the cochlea, and its intensity was almost equal. After gene transfer in the combination group and the gene group, ABR threshold shifts at week 1 and 4 were significantly smaller than those of the APF group. HE staining showed that the number of the spiral ganglion cells in the combination group and the Ad-hNGFβ group was significantly higher than that of the control group after 4 weeks (P<0.01). Conclusions Ad-hNGFβ combined with iron fortified nutritional diet was effective in the prevention and treatment of blast hearing damage of cochlear hair cells.
