DING Yin-Hui-1, Sun-Jing-1, Qian-Yuan-Xia-1, Li-Yun-Zi-1, Gao-Jing-1, Chen-Bin-2
Objective: To investigate whether advanced glycation end products (AGEs) can induce cell injury and mitochondrial dysfunction in human aortic endothelial cells (HAECs). Methods: HAECs were treated with increasing concentrations (50,100 μg/mL) of AGE-bovine serum albumin (AGE-BSA) for 48 h. The proliferative inhibition of HAECs was measured by CCK-8 method. Contents of ATP and activity of superoxide dismutase (SOD) were determined by the luciferase assay and SOD kits. Reactive oxygen species (ROS) were determined by DCFH-DA staining. Mitochondrial membrane potential (MMP) was observed with JC-1 staining. Oxygen utilization was measured polarographically with a Clark oxygen electrode. Results: Compared with control group,AGE-BSA (50, 100 μg/mL) significantly reduced HAECs proliferation. AGE-BSA significantly increased the levels of ROS, while decreased the activity of SOD compared to the control group. Importantly,AGE-BSAmediated oxidative stress was followed by a collapse of mitochondrial membrane potential (MMP),the inhibition of ATP generation,and the downregulation of oxygen utilization. Conclusion: AGEBSA induced oxidative stress in HAECs. Moreover,AGE-BSAinduced HAECs injury was related to mitochondrial dysfunction.

LI Xing-Tian, Li-Xiao-Zhan, Ma-Hong, Xu-Hui, Li-Shu, Li-Yu-Mei
Objective: To provide the experimental support for establishing a lowtemperature stem cell bank for future use, freezethawed human adiposederived mesenchymal stem cells(hADSCs) were compared with fresh hADSCs in vitro. Methods: The hADSCs were isolated from abdomen epiploica adipose tissue by collagenase digestion and subcultured in vitro. The third passage of hADSCs was cryopreserved in liquid nitrogen for 1,3,and 6 months. Cell viability, proliferation potential, expression of cellular markers and multipotential differentiation were studied after thawing using trypan blue staining, MTT method, flow cytometry analysis,Oil Red O staining, von Kossa,and RT-PCR. Results: After thawing, cell survival rate was found to descend as the time of cryopreservation prolonged. MTT revealed high capability for the proliferation. Phenotypic studies revealed that hADSCs were positive for CD29, CD44, CD73, CD90, CD105, CD166 and negative for CD45,and HLA-DR.Functional analysis demonstrated these cells could be differentiated into adipocytes and osteoblasts in lineagespecific medium.RT-PCR results proved that adipogenic and osteogenic related genes could be expressed. No significant difference(P>0.05) was noted before and after the cryopreservation in cell viability, proliferation potential, expression of cellular markers and multipotential differentiation. Conclusions: The hADSCs could maintain acceptable viability, biological characteristics, and multipotential differentiation after cryopreservation.

CHEN Yu-Jiao-1, Li-Jian-1, Jiang-He-Guo-1, Chen-Yong-Chang-2
Objective: To examine whether silencing of FANCF gene by siRNA interference technique could sensitize lung adenocarcinoma CALU-1 cell line to cisplatin(DDP). Methods: Three siRNAs targeted to FANCF (FANCF-siRNAs) were designed and synthesized. After separately transfected into CALU-1 cells, the RT-PCR was used to determine the expression of FANCF mRNA, the siRNA with the highest transfection efficiency was selected. Western Blotting was carried out to detect the expression of FANCF protein, and the levels of FANCD2 protein monoubiquitination, which was defined by the radio of monoubiquitinationFANCD2 (L) and nonmonoubiquitinationFANCD2 (S), in CALU-1 cells treated with cisplatin before and after FANCF-siRNA transfection. Immunofluorescence assay was performed to determine the formation of FANCD2 nuclear foci. CCK-8 technique was used to measure the cell proliferation rate of CALU-1 cells treated with DDP pre- and post-transfection of FANCFsiRNA. Results: After transfection of FANCF-siRNA, we found that silencing of FANCF gene decreased the levels of FANCD2 monoubiquitination (L/S ratio), and nuclear foci formation of FANCD2 in CALU-1 cells. Meanwhile, silencing of FANCF gene significantly decreased the cell proliferation rate in CALU-1 cells treated with DDP ( both P< 0.05). Conclusion: Silencing of FANCF gene by FANCF-siRNA transfection could potentiate the sensitivity to cisplatin in CALU-1 cells, suggesting that FANCF gene may be a potential target in therapeutic strategies for the treatment of lung cancer.  [Key words]FANCF; FA/BRCA pathway; siRNA; cisplatin; sensitivity

Objective: To investigate the effect of FANCD2 gene silence on the resistance to cisplatin (DDP) in lung adenocarcinoma A549/DDP cell line. Methods: FANCD2 genes of A549/DDP cells were silenced by transfection of the designed and synthesized siRNA targeted FANCD2(FANCD2-siRNA) through Lipofectamine. CCK-8 technique was used to measure the cell proliferation rate of A549 and A549/DDP cells treated with DDP before and after siRNA transfection. Western blotting was carried out to detect the expression of monoubiquitination (L) and non-monoubiquitination (S) FANCD2 protein and L/S ratio before and after siRNA transfection. Immunofluorescence assay was performed to determine the formation of FANCD2 nuclear foci. Results: The cell proliferation rate and the levels of FANCD2 monoubiquitination (L/S ratio) were markedly higher in A549/DDP cells than in A549 cells treated with DDP (P<0.05). After transfection of FANCD2-siRNA, the levels of FANCD2 monoubiquitination, nuclear foci formation of FANCD2, and the cell proliferation rate were significantly decreased in A549 and A549/DDP cells following DDP treatment (P<0.05). Conclusion: Silence of FANCD2 gene inhibited the function of FA/BRCA pathway by decreasing the monoubiquitination level and nuclear focus formation of FANCD2, resulting in the decrease of cell proliferation, and partial reversion of chemoresistance to cisplatin in lung cancer cell of DDP-resistance.

Objective: To discuss the role of diosgenin in the proliferation, invasion,migration and apoptosis of human gastric cancer BGC-823 and SGC-7901 cells via MAPK signaling pathways. Methods: Human gastric cancer cell lines BGC-823 and SGC-7901 were cultured in vitro and treated with diosgenin. Proliferation rate, cell migration and invasion were measured by MTT method via Transwell assay. And protein expression of apoptosis-associated protein (AAP) BAX, apoptosis inhibitor protein Bcl-2 and Erk1/2,JNK and p38 proteins of MAPK pathways were measured by Western Blot. Results: When BGC-823 and SGC-7901 cells were treated with diosgenin,the proliferation, migration and invasion of BGC-823 and SGC-7901 cells were significantly decreased. The apoptosis of both cells was enhanced to a certain extent. As to the correlation of gastric cancer cells and MAPK pathways,we found that p-p38 protein expression level after diosgenin treated was dramatically down-regulated; however,the expression levels of Erk1/2,JNK,p38,p-Erk1/2 and p-JNK were negligible. Conclusion: Diosgenin might affect the proliferation,invasion,migration and apoptosis of human gastric cancer BGC-823 and SGC-7901 cells through p-p38 of MAPK pathways.

ZHANG Zhao-Yue-1, Yin-Yue-1, Mou-Xiao-1, Wu-Shi-1, Mao-Chao-Ming-2, Chen-De-Yu-3
Objective: To explore the expression and clinical significance of long non-coding RNA HOTAIR (lncRNA HOTAIR) in esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) and analyze its correlation with transforming growth factor β1(TGF-β1). Methods: Quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction was used to detect the expressions of HOTAIR mRNA and TGF-β1 mRNA in 57 ESCC tissues and matched tumor-free tissues. The relationship between HOTAIR mRNA and clinico-pathological features of ESCC was also analyzed. Results: In comparison to matched tumor-free tissues, the expressions of HOTAIR mRNA (Z=-2.507,P=0.012) and TGF-β1 mRNA (Z=-2.038,P=0.042) were found to be elevated and lowered, respectively, in ESCC tissues. Up-regulation of HOTAIR expression was correlated with tumor differentiation degree and clinical stage. The expression of HOTAIR was negative correlated with TGF-β1 (r=-0.406,P=0.002). Conclusion: lncRNA HOTAIR in ESCC tissues may play a significant role in the occurrence and development of ESCC through TGF-β1 signaling pathways.
