18-bromo-7-methoxychrysin-induced apoptosis of hepatocellular carcinoma cells involves ROS and JNK显示文摘AIM:To investigate whether the apoptotic activities of 8-bromo-7-methoxychrysin(BrMC) involve reactive oxygen species(ROS) generation and c-Jun N-terminal kinase(JNK) activation in human hepatocellular carcinoma cells(HCC).METHODS:HepG2,Bel-7402 and L-02 cell lines were cultured in vitro and the apoptotic effects of BrMC were evaluated by flow cytometry(FCM) after propidium iodide(PI) staining,caspase-3 activity using enzymelinked immunosorbent assay(ELISA),and DNA agarose gel electrophoresis.ROS production was evaluated by FCM after dichlorodihydrofluorescein diacetate(DCHFDA) probe labeling.The phosphorylation level of JNK and c-Jun protein was analyzed by Western blotting.RESULTS:FCM after PI staining showed a dose-dependent increase in the percentage of the sub-G1 cell pop-ulation(P < 0.05),reaching 39.0% ± 2.8% of HepG2 cells after 48 h of treatment with BrMC at 10 μmol/L.The potency of BrMC to HepG2 and Bel-7402(32.1% ± 2.6%) cells was found to be more effective than the lead compound,chrysin(16.2% ± 1.6% for HepG2 cells and 11.0% ± 1.3% for Bel-7402 cell) at 40 μmol/L and similar to 5-flurouracil(33.0% ± 2.1% for HepG2 cells and 29.3% ± 2.3% for Bel-7402 cells) at 10 μmol/L.BrMC had little effect on human embryo liver L-02 cells,with the percentage of sub-G1 cell population 5.4% ± 1.8%.Treatment of HepG2 cells with BrMC for 48 h also increased the levels of active caspase-3,in a concentration-dependent manner.z-DEVD-fmk,a caspase-3specific inhibitor,prevented the activation of caspase-3.Treatment with BrMC at 10 μmol/L for 48 h resulted in the formation of a DNA ladder.Treatment of cells with BrMC(10 μmol/L) increased mean fluorescence intensity of DCHF-DA in HepG2 cells from 7.2 ± 1.12 at 0 h to 79.8 ± 3.9 at 3 h and 89.7 ± 4.7 at 6 h.BrMC did not affect ROS generation in L-02 cells.BrMC treatment failed to induce cell death and caspase-3 activation in HepG2 cells pretreated with N-acetylcysteine(10 mmol/L).In addition,in HepG2 cells treated with BrMC(2.5,5.0,10.0 μmol/L) for 12 h,JNK activation was observed.Peak JNK activation occurred at 12 h post-treatment and this activation persisted for up to 24 h.The expression of phosphorylated JNK and c-Jun protein after 12 h with BrMC-treated cells was inhibited by N-acetylcysteine and SP600125 pre-treatment,but GW9662 had no effect.SP600125 substantially reduced BrMC-induced cell death and caspase-3 activation of HepG2 cells.N-acetylcysteine and GW9662 also attenuated induction of cell death and caspase-3 activation in HepG2 cells treated with BrMC.CONCLUSION:BrMC induces apoptosis of HCC cells by ROS generation and sustained JNK activation.Xiao-Hong Yang Jian-Guo Cao Hong-Lin Xiang Fei Liu Yuan Lv Hunan Province China Xing Zheng 2010World Journal of Gastroenterology2010,16,27:38
2Achieving over 16% efficiency for single-junction organic solar cells显示文摘To achieve high photovoltaic performance of bulk hetero-junction organic solar cells(OSCs), a range of critical factors including absorption profiles, energy level alignment, charge carrier mobility and miscibility of donor and acceptor materials should be carefully considered. For electron-donating materials, the deep highest occupied molecular orbital(HOMO) energy level that is beneficial for high open-circuit voltage is much appreciated. However, a new issue in charge transfer emerges when matching such a donor with an acceptor that has a shallower HOMO energy level. More to this point, the chemical strategies used to enhance the absorption coefficient of acceptors may lead to increased molecular crystallinity, and thus result in less controllable phase-separation of photoactive layer. Therefore, to realize balanced photovoltaic parameters, the donor-acceptor combinations should simultaneously address the absorption spectra, energy levels, and film morphologies. Here, we selected two non-fullerene acceptors, namely BTPT-4F and BTPTT-4F, to match with a wide-bandgap polymer donor P2F-EHp consisting of an imidefunctionalized benzotriazole moiety, as these materials presented complementary absorption and well-matched energy levels. By delicately optimizing the blend film morphology, we demonstrated an unprecedented power conversion efficiency of over 16% for the device based on P2F-EHp:BTPTT-4F, suggesting the great promise of materials matching toward high-performance OSCs.Baobing Fan Difei Zhang Meijing Li Wenkai Zhong Zhaomiyi Zeng Lei Ying Fei Huang Yong Cao 2019Science China Chemistry2019,62,6:38
3Serum pepsinogen Ⅱ is a better diagnostic marker in gastric cancer显示文摘AIM:To investigate screening makers for gastric cancer,we assessed the association between gastric cancer and serum pepsinogens(PGs).METHODS:The subjects comprised 450 patients with gastric cancer,111 individuals with gastric atrophy,and 961 healthy controls.Serum anti-Helicobacter pylori(H.pylori) immunoglobulin G(IgG),PGⅠand PG Ⅱ were detected by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay.Gastric atrophy and gastric cancer were diagnosed by endoscopy and histopathological examinations.Odds ratios and 95%CIs were calculated using multivariate logistic regression.RESULTS:Rates of H.pylori infection remained high in Northeastern China.Rates of H.pylori IgG positivity were greater in the gastric cancer and gastric atrophy groups compared to the control group(69.1% and 75.7% vs 49.7%,P < 0.001).Higher levels of PG Ⅱ(15.9 μg/L and 13.9 μg/L vs 11.5 μg/L,P < 0.001) and lower PGⅠ/PG Ⅱ ratio(5.4 and 4.6 vs 8.4,P < 0.001) were found in patients with gastric cancer or gastric atrophy compared to healthy controls,whereas no correlation was found between the plasma PGⅠconcentration and risk of gastric cancer(P = 0.537).In addition,multivariate logistic analysis indicated that H.pylori infection and atrophic gastritis were independent risk factors for gastric cancer.Lower plasma PGⅠ/PG Ⅱ ratio was associated with higher risks of atrophy and gastric cancer.Furthermore,plasma PG Ⅱ?level?significantly?correlated?with?H.pyloriinfected gastric cancer.CONCLUSION:Serum PG Ⅱ concentration and PG Ⅰ/PG Ⅱ ratio are potential biomarkers for H.pyloriinfected gastric disease.PG Ⅱ is independently associated with risk of gastric cancer.Xue-Yuan Cao Zhi-Fang Jia Mei-Shan Jin Dong-Hui Cao Fei Kong Jian Suo Jing Jiang 2012World Journal of Gastroenterology2012,18,48:27

5Methionine-dependence and combination chemotherapy on human gastric cancer cells in vitro显示文摘AIM: To elucidate whether human primary gastric cancer and gastric mucosa epithelial calls in vitro can grow normally in a rnethionine (Met) depleted environment, i.e.Met-dependence, and whether Met-depleting status can enhance the killing effect of chemotherapy on gastric cancer cells.lMETHODS: Fresh human gastric cancer and mucosal tissueswere managed to form monocellular suspensions, whichwere then cultured in the Met-free but homocysteine-containing ( MetHcy+ ) medium, with differentchemotherapeutic drugs. The proliferation of the cells wasexamined by cell counter, flow cytometry (FCM) andmicrocytotoxicity assay (MTT).RESULTS: The growth of human primary gastric cancer cellsin Met Hcy+ was suppressed, manifested by the decrease oftotal cell counts [1.46±0.42 ( x 109@L-1) in Met-Hcy+ vs .64±0.44 ( x l09@L-1) in Met+ Hcy, P<0.01], the decline inthe percentage of G0G1 phase cells (0.69±0.24 in Met-Hey+vs 0.80±0.18 in Met+ Hcy, P<0.01) and the increase of Scells(0.24±0.20inMet-Hcy+ vs 0.17 ± 0.16 in Met+ Hcy-, P< 0.01); however, gastric mucusal cells grew normally. IfMet-Hcy+ medium was used in combination withchemotherapeutic drugs, the number of surviving gastriccancer cells dropped significantly.CONCLUSION: Human primary gastric cancer cells in vitroare Met-dependent; however, gastric mucosal cells have notshown the same characteristica. Met- Hcy+ environment maystrengthen the killing effect of chemotherapy on humanprimary gastric cancer cells.Wei-Xin Cao Jing-Min Ou Xu-Feng Fei,Department of Clinical Nutrition,Shanghai Institute of Digestive Surgery,Ruijin Hospital,Shanghai Second Medical University,Shanghai 200025,China Zheng-Gang Zhu Hao-Ran Yin Min Yan Yan-Zhen Lin,Department of Surgery,Shanghai Institute of Digestive Surgery,Ruijin Hospital,Shanghai Second Medical University,Shangha 200025,China 2002World Journal of Gastroenterology2002,8,2:24
68-bromo-7-methoxychrysin inhibits properties of liver cancer stem cells via downregulation of β-catenin显示文摘AIM:To evaluate whether 8-bromo-7-methoxychrysin(BrMC),a synthetic analogue of chrysin,inhibits the properties of cancer stem cells derived from the human liver cancer MHCC97 cell line and to determine the potential mechanisms.METHODS:CD133+cells were sorted from the MHCC97 cell line by magnetic activated cell sorting,and amplified in stem cell-conditioned medium to obtain the enriched CD133+sphere forming cells(SFCs).The stem cell properties of CD133+SFCs were validated by the tumorsphere formation assay in vitro and the xenograft nude mouse model in vivo,and termed liver cancer stem cells(LCSCs).The effects of BrMC on LCSCs in vitro were evaluated by MTT assay,tumorsphere formation assay and transwell chamber assay.The effects of BrMC on LCSCs in vivo were determined using a primary and secondary xenograft model in Balb/c-nu mice.Expressions of the stem cell markers,epithelialmesenchymal transition(EMT)markers andβ-catenin protein were analyzed by western blotting or immunohistochemical analysis.RESULTS:CD133+SFCs exhibited stem-like cell properties of tumorsphere formation and tumorigenesis capacity in contrast to the parental MHCC97 cells.We found that BrMC preferentially inhibited proliferation and self-renewal of LCSCs(P<0.05).Furthermore,BrMC significantly suppressed EMT and invasion of LCSCs.Moreover,BrMC could efficaciously eliminate LCSCs in vivo.Interestingly,we showed that BrMC decreased the expression ofβ-catenin in LCSCs.Silencing ofβ-catenin by small interfering RNA could synergize the inhibition of self-renewal of LCSCs induced by BrMC,while Wnt3a treatment antagonized the inhibitory effects of BrMC.CONCLUSION:BrMC can inhibit the functions and characteristics of LCSCs derived from the liver cancer MHCC97 cell line through downregulation ofβ-catenin expression.Mei-Fang Quan Li-Hong Xiao Zhi-Hong Liu Hui Guo Kai-Qun Ren Fei Liu Jian-Guo Cao Xi-Yun Deng 2013World Journal of Gastroenterology2013,19,43:22
7Simultaneous oxidation of NO,SO_2 and Hg^0 from flue gas by pulsed corona discharge显示文摘A process capable of simultaneously oxidizing NO,SO2,and Hg0 was proposed,using a high-voltage and short-duration positive pulsed corona discharge.By focusing on NO,SO2,and Hg0 oxidation effciencies,the influences of pulse peak voltage,pulse frequency,initial concentration,electrode number,residence time and water vapor addition were investigated.The results indicate that NO,SO2 and Hg0 oxidation effciencies depend primarily on the radicals(OH,HO2,O) and the active species(O3,H2O2,etc.) produced by the pulsed corona discharge.The NO,SO2 and Hg0 oxidation effciencies could be improved as pulse peak voltage,pulse frequency,electrode number and residence time increased,but they were reduced with increasing initial concentrations.By adding water vapor,the SO2 oxidation effciency was improved remarkably,while the NO oxidation effciency decreased slightly.In our experiments,the simultaneous NO,SO2,and Hg0 oxidation effciencies reached to 40%,98%,and 55% with the initial concentrations 479 mg/m3,1040 mg/m3,and 15.0 μg/m3,respectively.XU Fei,LUO Zhongyang,CAO Wei,WANG Peng,WEI Bo,GAO Xiang,FANG Mengxiang,CEN Kefa State key Laboratory of Clean Energy Utilization,Zhejiang University,Hangzhou 310027,China. 2009Journal of Environmental Sciences2009,21,3:22
8A study of preoperative methionine-depleting parenteral nutrition plus chemotherapy in gastric cancer patients显示文摘AIM To investigate the interference ofmethionine.free parenteral nutrition plus 5-Fu(-MetTPN+5-Fu)in gastric cancer cell kineticsand the side effects of the regimen.METHODS Fifteen patients with advancedgastric cancer were randomly divided into twogroups,7 patients were given preoperatively aseven-day course of standard parenteralnutrition in combination with a five-day courseof chemotherapy(sTPN+5-Fu),while the other8 patients were given methionine-deprivedparenteral nutrition and 5-Fu(-MetTPN+5-Fu).Cell cycles of gastric cancer and normal mucosawere studied by flow cytometry(FCM).Bloodsamples were taken to measure the serumprotein,methionine(Met)and cysteine(Cys)levels,and liver and kidney functions.RESULTS As compared with the resultsobtained before the treatment,the percentage ofG0/G1 tumor cells increased and that of S phasedecreased in the-MetTPN+5-Fu group,while thecontrary was observed in the sTPN+5-Fu group.Except that the ALT,AST and AKP levels wereslightly increased in a few cases receiving-MetTPN+5-Fu,all the other biochemicalparameters were within normal limits.Serum Cys level decreased slightly after the treatmentin both groups.Serum Met level of patientsreceiving sTPN+5-Fu was somewhat higher aftertreatment than that before treatment;however,no significant change occurred in the -MetTPN+5-Fu group,nor operative complications in bothgroups.CONCLUSION -MetTPN+5-Fu exerted asuppressive effect on cancer cell proliferation,probably through a double mechanism ofcreating a state of'Met starvation'adverse tothe tumor cell cycle,and by allowing 5-Fu to killspecifically cells in S phase.Preoperative short-term administration of -MetTPN+5-Fu had littleundesirable effect on host metabolism.Cao WX Cheng QM Fei XF Li SF Yin HR Lin YZ 2000World Journal of Gastroenterology2000,6,2:22
9Casticin-induced apoptosis involves death receptor 5 upregulation in hepatocellular carcinoma cells显示文摘AIM:To investigate the apoptotic activities of casticin in hepatocellular carcinoma(HCC) cells and its molecular mechanisms.METHODS:PLC/PRF/5 and Hep G2 cell lines were cultured in vitro and the inhibitory effect of casticin on the growth of cells was detected by 3-[4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl]-2,5 diphenyl tetrazolim bromide(MTT) assay.The apoptotic cell death was examined using the cell apoptosis enzyme linked immunosorbent assay(ELISA) detection kit,flow cytometry(FCM) after propidium iodide(PI) staining and DNA agarose gel electrophoresis.The caspase activities were measured using ELISA.Reactive oxygen species(ROS) production was evaluated by FCM after dichlorodihydrofluorescein diacetate(DCFH-DA) probe labeling.Intracellular glutathione(GSH) content was measured using a glutathione assay kit.The expression of death receptor(DR)4 and DR5 proteins was analyzed by Western blotting and FCM.RESULTS:Casticin significantly inhibited the growth of human HCC(PLC/PRF/5 and Hep G2) cells in a dosedependent manner(P < 0.05).Casticin increased the percentage of the sub-G1 population in HCC cells in a concentration-dependent manner.The potency of casticin to PLC/PRF/5 cells was higher than that of 5-flurouracil(26.8% ± 4.8% vs 17.4% ± 5.1%) at 10 μmol/L for 24 h.Casticin increased the levels of Histone/DNA fragmentation and the levels of active caspase-3,-8 and-9 in a concentration-dependent manner(P < 0.05).Treatment with 30 μmol/L casticin for 24 h resulted in the formation of a DNA ladder.Casticin reduced the GSH content(P < 0.05),but did not affect the level of intracellular ROS in PLC/PRF/5 and Hep G2 cells.The thiol antioxidants,acetylcysteine(NAC) and GSH restored GSH content and attenuated casticin-induced apoptosis.In contrast,the nonthiol antioxidants,butylated hydroxyanisole and mannitol failed to do so.In the HCC cells treated with casticin for 24 h,DR5 protein level was increased.The expression of DR5 protein induced by casticin was inhibited by NAC.Pretreatment with DR5/Fc chimera protein,a blocking antibody,effectively attenuated the induction of apoptosis by casticin.CONCLUSION:Casticin-induced apoptosis of HCC cells is involved in GSH depletion and DR5 upregulation.Jun Yang Yun Yang Li Tian Xi-Feng Sheng Fei Liu Jian-Guo Cao 2011World Journal of Gastroenterology2011,17,38:21

11TGF-β1 gene-modified,immature dendritic cells delay the development of inflammatory bowel disease by inducing CD4^(+)Foxp3^(+)regulatory T cells显示文摘Inflammatory bowel disease(IBD)is caused by an uncontrolled immune response in the intestinal lumen,leading to inflammation in genetically predisposed individuals.Immunotherapy may be a promising approach to the treatment of IBD.Here,we show that transforming growth factor-β1(TGF-β1)gene-modified immature dendritic cells(imDCs)could enhance the inhibitory function of imDCs and delay the progress of IBD induced by dextran sodium sulfate in mice.The results of fluorescence-activated cell sorter(FACS)demonstrated that this protective effect is mediated partially by inducing CD4^(+)Foxp3^(+)regulatory T cells(Tregs)in mesentery lymph nodes to control inflammation.In vitro experiments also supported this hypothesis.In conclusion,we provide evidence that TGF-b1-modified bone marrow-derived imDCs may have a therapeutic effect to IBD.Zhijian Cai Wei Zhang Min Li Yinpu Yue Fei Yang Lei Yu Xuetao Cao Jianli Wang 2010Cellular & Molecular Immunology2010,7,1:18

14Timing, distribution, and microbiology of infectious complications after necrotizing pancreatitis显示文摘BACKGROUND Acute pancreatitis(AP)is a common acute abdominal disease worldwide,and its incidence rate has increased annually.Approximately 20%of AP patients develop into necrotizing pancreatitis(NP),and 40%to 70%of NP patients have infectious complications,which usually indicate a worse prognosis.Infection is an important sign of complications in NP patients.AIM To investigate the difference in infection time,infection site,and infectious strain in NP patients with infectious complications.METHODS The clinical data of AP patients visiting the Department of General Surgery of Xuanwu Hospital of Capital Medical University from January 1,2014 to December 31,2018 were collected retrospectively.Enhanced computerized tomography or magnetic resonance imaging findings in patients with NP were included in the study.Statistical analysis of infectious bacteria,infection site,and infection time in NP patients with infectious complications was performed,because knowledge about pathogens and their antibiotic susceptibility patterns is essential for selecting an appropriate antibiotic.In addition,the factors that might influence the prognosis of patients were analyzed.RESULTS In this study,539 strains of pathogenic bacteria were isolated from 162 patients with NP infection,including 212 strains from pancreatic infections and 327 strains from extrapancreatic infections.Gram-negative bacteria were the main infectious species,the most common of which were Escherichia coli and Pseudomonas aeruginosa.The extrapancreatic infection time(9.1±8.8 d)was earlier than the pancreatic infection time(13.9±12.3 d).Among NP patients with early extrapancreatic infection(<14 d),bacteremia(25.12%)and respiratory tract infection(21.26%)were predominant.Among NP patients with late extrapancreatic infection(>14 d),bacteremia(15.94%),respiratory tract infection(7.74%),and urinary tract infection(7.71%)were predominant.Drug sensitivity analysis showed that P.aeruginosa was sensitive to enzymatic penicillins,thirdand fourth-generation cephalosporins,and carbapenems.Acinetobacter baumannii and Klebsiella pneumoniae were sensitive only to tigecycline;Staphylococcus epidermidis and Enterococcus faecium were highly sensitive to linezolid,tigecycline,and vancomycin.CONCLUSION In this study,we identified the timing,the common species,and site of infection in patients with NP.Jiong-Di Lu Feng Cao Yi-Xuan Ding Yu-Duo Wu Yu-Lin Guo Fei Li 2019World Journal of Gastroenterology2019,25,34:17
15Hydrothermal synthesis of xonotlite from carbide slag显示文摘Carbide slag was used as the calcareous materials for the first time to prepare xonotlite via dynamic hydrothermal synthesis.The efiects of infiuential factors including difierent calcination temperatures, pretreatment methods of the carbide slag and process param-eters of hydrothermal synthesis on the microstructure and morphology of xonotlite were explored using XRD and SEM techniques.The results indicate that the carbide slag after proper calcination could be used to prepare pure xonotlite;and difierent calcination tem-peratures have little efiect on the crystallinity of synthesized xonotlite, but have great impact on the morphology of secondary particles.The difierent pretreatment methods of the carbide slag pose great impact on the crystallinity and morphology of secondary particles of xonotlite.Xonotlite was also synthesized from pure CaO under the same experimental conditions as that prepared from calcined carbide slag for comparison.Little amount of impurities in carbide slag has no efiect on the mechanism of hydrothermal synthesizing xonotlite from carbide slag.Jianxin Cao Fei Liu Qian Lin Yu Zhang 2008Progress in Natural Science:Materials International2008,18,9:15
16Inhibitory Effect of Progesterone on Inflammatory Factors After Experimental Traumatic Brain Injury显示文摘Objective Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is one of the leading causes of morbidity and mortality in young people. Inflammatory cytokines play an important part in the pathophysiology of TBI. Recent studies demonstrate that progesterone significantly reduces cerebral edema and enhances functional recovery from TBI and stroke in several animal models. This study was designed to investigate the inhibitory effect of progesterone on inflammatory response after traumatic brain injury. Methods Progesterone was injected intraperitoneally using rats as a model of traumatic brain injury, and Western blot technique was applied to detect the expression of three inflammation-related factors: nuclear factor kappa B p65 (NFκB p65), glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP), and tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α). The water content of injured brain was also examined. A neurological severity score was recorded to evaluate the effect of progesterone on neurodeficit recovery. Results NFκB p65, GFAP, and TNF-α were increased in all injured animals. In rats treated with progesterone, the expression level of NFκB p65 and TNF-α were reduced significantly in comparison with vehicle-treated rats. However, progesterone did not alter the expression of GFAP in the injured rats. Progesterone also reduced the water content of injured brain and the lesion volume. In addition, progesterone-treated injured rats showed significant improvements in the Neurological Severity Score test, compared with vehicle-treated ones. Conclusions Progesterone inhibits the inflammatory response after experimental traumatic brain injury and mitigates the severity of brain damage.DE-SHENG PAN WEI-GUO LIU XIAO-FENG YANG AND FEI CAO 2007Biomedical and Environmental Sciences2007,20,5:14
17Metallic nanostructures for light trapping in energy-harvesting devices显示文摘Solar energy is abundant and environmentally friendly.Light trapping in solar-energy-harvesting devices or structures is of critical importance.This article reviews light trapping with metallic nanostructures for thin film solar cells and selective solar absorbers.The metallic nanostructures can either be used in reducing material thickness and device cost or in improving light absorbance and thereby improving conversion efficiency.The metallic nanostructures can contribute to light trapping by scattering and increasing the path length of light,by generating strong electromagnetic field in the active layer,or by multiple reflections/absorptions.We have also discussed the adverse effect of metallic nanostructures and how to solve these problems and take full advantage of the light-trapping effect.Chuan Fei Guo Tianyi Sun Feng Cao Qian Liu Zhifeng Ren 2014Light(Science & Applications)2014,3,1:14
18Reproductive traits associated with invasiveness in Conyza sumatrensis显示文摘Conyza sumatrensis (Retz.) E. Walker, a member of Asteraceae, is a highly invasive species. However, its reproduction biology remains poorly known. To understand the role of reproductive traits in successful invasion of the species, we studied several traits of its reproductive system: the miniature capitulum and gynomonoecious sexual system, the biology and phenology of capitula and florets, pollen/ovule ratio, the mating system (self-compatibility), flower visitors, physical traits and dispersal potential of achenes, germination potential of achenes from manually pollinated capitula, and the association of these traits with invasiveness. Our study showed that the reproductive traits of autonomous seed production, versatile mating system of self- and cross-pollination, and generalized pollination system might contribute to the species' successful invasive capability. The invasiveness was further enhanced by the high and rapid production of achenes, as well as the high percentage, rapid germination rate and high dispersal capability of achenes. It was concluded that in annual or winter-annual weeds, autonomous seed production contributed significantly to the invasiveness of the species.jian-Hua HAO Sheng QIANG Qian-Qian LIU Fei CAO 2009Journal of Systematics and Evolution2009,47,3:13
19Autophagy inhibition enhances apigenin-induced apoptosis in human breast cancer cells显示文摘Apigenin (4',5,7-trihydroxyflavone) is a member of the flavone subclass of flavonoids present in fruits and vegetables. The involvement of autophagy in the apigenin-induced apoptotic death of human breast cancer cells was investigated. Cell proliferation and viability were assessed by 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol- 2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide (MTT) and clonogenic assays. Flow cytometry, fluorescent staining and Western blot analysis were employed to detect apoptosis and autophagy, and the role of autophagy was assessed using autophagy inhibitors. Apigenin dose- and time-dependently repressed the proliferation and clonogenic survival of the human breast cancer T47D and MDA-MB-231 cell lines. The death of T47D and MDA-MB-231 cells was due to apoptosis associated with increased levels of Caspase3, PARP cleavage and Bax/Bcl-2 ratios. The results from flow cytometry and fluorescent staining also verified the occurrence of apoptosis. In addition, the apigenin-treated cells exhibited autophagy, as characterized by the appearance of autophagosomes under fluorescence microscopy and the accumulation of acidic vesicular organelles (AVOs) by flow cytometry. Furthermore, the results of the Western blot analysis revealed that the level of LC3-II, the processed form of LC3-I, was increased. Treatment with the autophagy inhibitor, 3-methyladenine (3-MA), significantly enhanced the apoptosis induced by apigenin, which was accompanied by an increase in the level of PARP cleavage. Similar results were also confirmed by flow cytometry and fluorescence microscopy. These results indicate that apigenin has apoptosis-and autophagy-inducing effects in breast cancer cells. Autophagy plays a cyto-protective role in apigenin-induced apoptosis, and the combination of apigenin and an autophagy inhibitor may be a promising strategy for breast cancer control.Xuchen Cao Bowen Liu Wenfeng Cao Weiran Zhang Fei Zhang Hongmeng Zhao Ran Meng Lin Zhang Ruifang Niu Xishan Hao Bin Zhang 2013Chinese Journal of Cancer Research2013,25,2:12
20Evaluation of a New Real-time PCR Assay for Detection of Mycoplasma Pneumoniae in Clinical Specimens显示文摘Objective To establish and evaluate a real-time PCR assay to detect Mycoplasma pneumoniae (M.pneumoniae) in clinical specimens.Methods By analysing the whole p1 gene sequence of 60 M.pneumoniae clinical isolates in Beijing of China,an optimized real-time PCR assay (MpP1) using p1 gene conserved region was designed.The specificity and sensitivity of this assay were evaluated and compared with other two reported assays (RepMp1 and Mp181) using 40 positive and 100 negative clinical specimens.Results The detection limit of the new assay was 8.1 fg (about 1~3CFU) M.pneumoniae DNA.The sensitivity of MpP1,RepMp1,and Mp181 assays appeared to be 100%,100%,and 85%,respectively.Conclusion MpP1 assay is suitable for the detection of M.pneumoniae in Chinese clinical specimens.ZHAO Fei CAO Bin HE Li Hua YIN Yu Dong TAO Xiao Xia SONG Shu Fan MENG Fan Liang ZHANG Jian Zhong 2012Biomedical and Environmental Sciences2012,25,1:11
