Effect of rhIL-10 on IL-6 and TNF-α levels in serum and liver of lipopolysaccharide-challenged mice

AIM: To investigate the effect of recombinant human interleukin-10 (rhIL-10) on IL-6 and TNF-α levels in serum and liver of mice exposed to lipopolysaccharide (LPS). METHODS: rhIL-10 was prepared by using genetic engineering technology. Mice were intraperitoneally with 500 μg of LPS, and then were treated intravenously with various dosages of rhIL-10. The levels of IL-6 and TNF-α in hepatic tissue and serum were determined by ELISA at 12 h, 24 h, 48 h and 72 h post rhIL-10 treatment. RESULTS: rhIL-10 markedly inhibited the increase in IL-6 and TNF-α levels in hepatic tissue and serum at 12 h after rhIL-10 treatment in LPS-challenged mice, and the inhibition effect was significant at 24-48 h after rhIL-10 treatment （P＜0.05）. CONCLUSION: rhIL-10 can inhibit the increase in IL-6 and TNF-α levels induced by LPS in mice.     

Antisense c-myc sensitizes osteosarcoma cells to cisplatin-induced apoptosis

AIM: To down-regulate expression of c-myc through antisense therapy and to investigate its effect on the sensitivity of osteosarcoma MG-63 cells to cisplatin-induced apoptosis. METHODS: The recombinant adenovirus (Ad-Asc-myc) encoding antisense c-myc fragment was constructed and transfected into osteosarcoma MG-63 cells in vitro in order to down-regulate the expression of c-myc, and the change in the sensitivity to cisplatin-induced apoptosis was observed. MTT, Western blot, RT-PCR, flow cytometry (FCM) and electron microscope were used to evaluate tumor cell proliferation in vitro, genes expression related to apoptosis regulation and effects on the sensitivity of osteosarcoma MG-63 cells to cisplatin-induced apoptosis. RESULTS: Ad-Asc-myc down-regulated the expression of c-myc protein after transfected MG-63 cells for 48 h, combined with the treatment of 2.0 mg/L cisplatin for 2 h inhibited tumor cell proliferation in vitro by 38.0%. RT-PCR revealed that Ad-Asc-myc down-regulated the expression of Bcl-2 and up-regulated the expression of Bax. No appreciable change was observed in the expression of E2F-1. FCM showed that Ad-Asc-myc induced apoptosis in intransfected cells, and rendered it more sensitive to cisplatin. CONCLUSION: Antisense c-myc is able per se to induce apoptosis and sensitize osteosarcoma cells to cisplatin-induced apoptosis.     

Association and function study of tumor necrosis factor receptorⅡ position 196 polymorphism with systemic lupus erythematosus

AIM: To investigate the association of gene polymorphism at position 196 of tumor necrosis factor receptor Ⅱ (TNFRⅡ) with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) in Chinese, and establish recombinant retroviral vector to analyze the function of the TNFRⅡ 196M/R. METHODS: The genotype at position 196 of TNFRⅡ was determined by PCR-RFLP in 106 SLE patients and 119 healthy controls in china. Human TNFRⅡ196M cDNA were amplified by PCR and cloned into PMD18-T vector. Then, PMD18-TNFRⅡ196R was induced by site-directed mutagenesis. The recombinant T vector, PMD18-TNFRⅡ196M and PMD18-TNFRⅡ196R, were subcloned into retroviral vector PLXSN. Both normal and variant were transfected into rat mesangial cell. The effects of TNFα on production of sTNFRⅡ and IL-6 were study by ELISA. RESULTS: (1) The frequency of TNFRⅡ196R allele was significantly higher than those in controls (35.2% vs 14.3%, P<0.05); (2) The recombinant retroviral vector (PLXSN-TNFR 196M and PLXSN-TNFR 196R) was constructed successfully; (3) rhTNFα caused a significant increase in IL-6 production by rat mesangial cells transfected with PLXSN-TNFRⅡ196R than that with TNFRⅡ196M. CONCLUSION: These data indicate that TNFRⅡ196R allele is associated with SLE in the Chinese. TNFRⅡ196R transduces the signals of TNFα more effectively than TNFRⅡ196M, which may be involved in the pathogenesis of SLE.     

Manumycin inhibits activity of pancreatic duct cancer cell line Panc-1 via inducing apoptosis

AIM: In this study, we investigated the anticancer effect and mechanisms of manumycin on pancreatic cancer cell line-Panc-1 and the role of p38MAPK pathway in apoptosis. METHODS: The test of anticancer effect was performed by MTT assay. Apoptosis was induced in the cells by manumycin and then treated with SB203580, a specific p38MAPK inhibitor. A quantitative caspase-3 activity assay kit was used in this experiment. RESULTS: Manumycin (6 μmol/L, 18 μmol/L, 54 μmol/L) significantly inhibited cell growth of pancreatic cancer cell line Panc-1. The inhibition rates 24 h after treatment with 6 μmol/L, 18 μmol/L and 54 μmol/L manumycin were 8.9%, 21.9% and 67.0%, respectively. Compared with the control group, the survival levels of the last two groups were of significant statistical difference (P<0.01). The anticancer effects also showed dosage-effect relationship, the value of IC50 24 h after treatment was 34.7 μmol/L. In addition, this reagent simultaneously activated caspase-3 protein, which was partly blocked by p38MAPK specific inhibitor, SB203580. CONCLUSION: Manumycin exerted anticancer effect on Panc-1 cell line via inducing cell apoptosis, which was partly regulated by p38MAPK.     

包膜控释尿素对大棚番茄的增产与品质提高效应

对施用包膜控释尿素和普通尿素的大棚番茄进行了田间生产条件下产量与品质对比分析试验。结果表明:与普通尿素相比施用控释尿素有显著的增产效果。D 60控释处理(控释期60 d)产量最高,为68.85 t/hm2,比对照增产19.39 t/hm2,增产率为39.2%;比尿素增产10.10 t/hm2,增产率为17.2%;D 90(控释期90 d)比对照增产15.37 t/hm2,增产率为31.0%;比尿素增产6.08 t/hm2。增产率为10.3%;D 90与D 60两种控释尿素之间产量差异不显著。控释尿素具有增加单株果数、单果重的效果。D 90与D 60氮素当季利用率比普通尿素分别高65.5%和108.8%。硝酸盐含量,以D 90为最低,仅比对照高4.4%,比普通尿素低56%;D 60比对照高15%,比尿素处理低51.6%;尿素处理比对照高137.3%。V c和氨基酸含量,D 90为最高,分别比对照高1.00倍和2.46倍;比普通尿素处理高22%和100%;D 60与尿素两处理V c含量差异不显著,但氨基酸总量前者却比后者高48%。可溶性糖含量以D 60较高,普通尿素为最低。综合品质指标为:D 90>D 60>U。说明控释尿素具有显著地增产效应和提高蔬菜品质的突出效应,特别在提高蔬菜的安全品质方面贡献最大。综合各项,在番茄生产中以选用控释期为60 d的包膜控释尿素为最好。

水稻内生阴沟肠杆菌MR12的鉴定及其固氮和防病作用研究

 水稻是世界主要粮食作物之一，氮肥缺少和病虫害是限制水稻产量的主要因子。水稻白叶枯病、稻瘟病和水稻纹枯病是致使水稻产量遭受重大损失的水稻三大病害。目前防治水稻病害主要采用抗病育种、栽培管理和化学防治等手段。生物防治作为综合防治的一项重要措施，具有对人畜安全、不污染环境等优点，因而越来越受到人们的重视，特别是对于缺乏优良抗病品种的植物病害更有必要探索进行生物防治的新途径。
