Abstract:Objective
To investigate the repair effect of  transplantation  of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs)  on liver injury in severe burned rats,and to clarify  its mechanism.Methods The BMSCs of rats were isolated,cultured,amplified,identified,and labeled in vitro.30 Wistar rats were randomly divided into normal control group(n=10),model group(n=10) and cell therapy group(n=10).The burned rat model was established.The BMSCs labeled by chlormethyl-benzamidodialkylcarbocyanine(CM-Dil) were transplanted into the rats in cell therapy group by retro-orbital intravenous injection and the saline was injected into the rats in model group.The general status of all rats were observed.The liver tissues of rats were obtained  2 weeks after transplantation,and the pathohistological  changes were observed and the pathohistological  scores were detected;the apoptotic rate of liver  cells was detected by TUNEL method;the engraftment of BMSCs in  liver tissues of the rats was observed under laser scanning confocal microscope.Results 2 weeks after transplantation,the rats in model group were obviously malaise dispirited and the rats in cell therapy group showed obviously better,and  the body weight of the rats in cell therapy group was higher than that in  model group(P<0.05).The pathohistological results showed the normal liver lobules of the rats in model group disappeared,and the liver cords disordered,and some liver sinusoids dilated and congested,lymphocytes infiltrated with  occasional focal aggregating,and cell edema was found,cytoplasm loose and steatosis were seen in liver tissue.However,the pathohistological changes of liver tissue of the rats in cell therapy group were significantly better than those in model group.The pathohistological score of the rats in cell therapy  group was significantly lower than that in model group(P<0.05).The TUNEL staining results showed that  there were lots of apoptotic liver cells in liver tissue of  the rats in  model group,and the apoptotic rate of liver cells in cell therapy  group was significantly lower  than that in model group(P<0.05).CM-Dil labeled BMSCs were found in liver tissue of the rats in cell therapy group under confocal microscope.Conclusion BMSCs can implant into the damaged liver tissue after transplantation,and BMSCs have an obvious repair effect on liver injury caused by burning,and the possible mechanism may be associated with the inhibiting of apoptosis.

Abstract:Objective To investigate the association between myosin ⅨB (MYO9B) gene polymorphisms and schizophrenia and its clinical phenotypes in the North Chinese Han population,and to clarify the genetics mechanism of occurrence of schizophrenia. Methods Genomic DNA was isolated from the whole blood samples in  427 patients with schizophrenia and 439 ethnicity-matched healthy controls.The PCR-based restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP) method was used to examine the genotypes and alleles of the rs2279007,rs8113494, and rs1545620 sites at MYO9B gene.The Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium for the  genotypic distribution of rs2279007,rs8113494, and rs1545620 in the schizophrenia patients and the controls was estimated by the goodness-of-fit χ2 test,and the association between the allelic and genotypic frequencies of single nucleotide polymorphisms(SNPs) sites at MYO9B gene and schizophrenia and its clinical phenotypes was analyzed by χ2 test.Results There were no significant differences of the allelic  and genotipic frequencies of MYO9B gene between the  schizophrenia patients and the controls(P>0.05).Phenotypic analysis suggested that the genotipic frequency of   rs2279007  site was associated with Hallucination-delusion syndrome (χ2=4.160,P=0.041) and the genotipic frequency of rs1545620 site was associated with aboulia (χ2=10.768,P=0.013) in schizophrenic patients.Conclusion MYO9B gene may  be not involved in the occurrence  of schizophrenia,but may be associated with Hallucination-delusion syndrome and aboulia of schizophrenia in the North Chinese Han population.

Journal of Jilin University Medicine Edition. 2014, 40 (02):  358-362.  DOI: 10.13481/j.1671-587x.20140227
Abstract ( 1039 )   PDF (618KB) ( 213 )  

Objective
To observe the relationship between the expression of E-cadherin (E-cad) protein in breast cancer tissue and the clinical characteristics, pathological features and the methylation of E-cad gene promoter of invasive breast cancer,and to investigate the feasibility and clinical significance of E-cad protein as an indictor for early diagnosis and prognosis evaluation of breast cancer. Methods The samples from 62 cases of breast cancer tissue and 20 cases of breast hyperplasia tissue were collected.The expressions of E-cad protein in samples were detected with immunohistochemical assay and the  methylation of E-cad gene promoter was detected with methylation-specific polymerase chain reaction (MSP).Results The expression of E-cad protein  was mainly in membrane.The positive expression  rate of E-cad protein in cancer tissue was lower than that in hyperplasia tissue (51.6%   vs  80.0%,P<0.05).The incidence of methylation of E-cad gene promoter in cancer tissue was higher than that in the  breast hyperplasia tissue (62.9%   vs 35.0%,P<0.05).The expression level of E-cad protein was correlated with TNM stage,histological differentiation degree  and lymph node metastasis (P<0.05).There was no correlation between the patient’s age,tumor size,lesion location and the expressions of estrogen receptor(ER),progesterone receptor(PR),and epidermal growth factor receptor(Her-2) (P>0.05).The methylation rate of E-cad gene promoter in E-cad protein negative expression tissue was higher than that in E-cad protein positive expression tissue(P<0.05).Conclusion The decrease of E-cad protein expression caused by  E-cad gene promoter methylation is involved in the occurrence and development of breast cancer.E-cad may be one of the predictors for early diagnosis and prognosis evaluation of breast cancer.

Abstract ( 330 )   PDF (316KB) ( 214 )  

Objective
To investigate  the mRNA  expression levels of epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) and  leucine-rich repeats and immunoglobulin like domains 1 (LRIG1) in  peripheral blood  from the patients with non-small cell lung cancer(NSCLC),and to analyze their possible associations with the clinicopathological  parameters of the patients  and provide basis for treatment of NSCLC.Methods The expression levels of EGFR and LRIG1 mRNA were detecteded in peripheral blood of 69 NSCLC patients  by quantitative real-time PCR method.The associations between the gene expression levels and the clinical   stage of tumor, age,gender,and survival time of the patients were analyzed.Results  Compared with normal people,the expression level of LRIGI mRNA in peripheral blood of NSCLC patients was decreased and that of EGFR was increased(P<0.001).The expression levels of LRIG1 and EGFR mRNA were not associated with gender,age,and histology of the patients(P>0.01 ),but they  were correlated with the  survival time and clinical stage of tumor of the  patients(P<0.001).The Cox regression analysis results indicated that the  clinical   stage of tumor,the expression levels of LRIG1 and EGFR mRNA  were independent prognostic factors for the NSCLC patients.The later the clinical  stage was,the worse the  prognosis was (P= 0.028);the relative risk degree (RR) = 1.548,95% CI:1.074-2.283;the higher the LRIG1 expression was, the better the prognosis of patients was (P= 0.026),RR = 0.242,95%CI:0.069-0.843;the higher the expression of EGFR mRNA was,the worse the prognosis was(P= 0.027),RR = 3.732,95%CI:1.165-11.956.The survival time of the patients with high expression of LRIG1 mRNA  was longer than the patients with lower expression of LRIG1 mRNA (χ2 =56.560,P<0.001);the survival time of the patients with high expression of EGFR mRNA  was shorter than the patients with low expression of EGFR mRNA (χ2 =51.962,P<0.001).The expression levels of LRIG1 and EGFR mRNA in the blood sample of the same patient were negatively related (r=-0.307,P=0.016).Conclusion LRIG1 can affect the clinical stage and survival time of NSCLC patients by negatively regulating the expression of EGFR.LRIG1 may affect the curative effectiveness and prognosis of NSCLC patients by regulating the expression of EGFR.

Objective
To explore the associations between ITGA3,TP53INP2,and AXIN2 gene polymorphisms and papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC),and to provide basis for the prevention and treatment of PTC. Methods 56 cases of  blood samples from PTC patients (case group) and 50 cases of normal blood samples from  normal thyroid persons(control group) were collected.The genotypes of 14 SNPs  of ITGA3,TP53INP2,and AXIN2 genes were detected by matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization time of flight mass spectrometry.The differences of   genotypic and allelic frequencies of different sites between case and control groups were detected;the relationship between haplotype  consisted of two or more sites and PTC was analyzed by UNPHASED3.1.4 software.Results The  Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium results showed that the genotypic frequency distribution of 14 sites in two groups were in accordance with Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium (P>0.05).The distribution of allelic frequencies of rs11655966,rs3923086, and rs7591 sites in AXIN2 gene were statistically different between two groups (χ2=6.029,df=1,P=0.014;χ2=4.518,df=1,P=0.034;χ2=4.674,df=1,P=0.031). The distribution of allelic frequency of rs910870 site in TP53INP2 gene was statistically different between two groups (χ2=4.583,df=1,P=0.032). The distribution of allelic and genotypic frequency of five tag SNPs in ITGA3 gene were not statistically different between two groups(P>0.05).The combined analysis of multiple sites  results showed that there were statistically differences in the distribution of rs7210356-rs7591-rs4074947-rs11655966-rs3923086-rs4791169-rs2240308 haplo-system between two groups (P<0.05). Conclusion The rs11655966,rs3923086,and rs7591 sites in AXIN2 gene and rs910870 site in TP53INP2 gene might be associated with  PTC.The haplotype consisted of multiple sites in AXIN2 gene might be associated with  PTC.ITGA3 might not be associated with  PTC.
