Down-regulated BARF1 expression induces EBV-positive gastric carcinoma cell apoptosis via activating caspase-dependent mitochondrial pathway

AIM: To investigate the effects of BARF1 down-regulation on EBV-positive gastric carcinoma cell apoptosis, and the molecular mechanisms by BARF1 silencing-mediated apoptosis. METHODS: After NUGC3 and SNU719 cells were transfected with NCsiRNA and siRNA, respectively, the protein levels of BARF1, Bcl-2, Bax, cytochrome C, caspase 3 and capase 9 were detected by Western blot, and the mRNA expression of BARF1, Bcl-2 and Bax was determined by RT-PCR. The cell viability was measured by the method of Trypan blue exclusion and the cell apoptosis was analyzed by flow cytometry analysis with Annexin V-FITC/PI staining. The expression of the apoptosis-related proteins in the cells transfected with siRNA and NCsiRNA was examined by human apoptosis antibody arrays. Mitochondrial membrane potential was determined by flow cytometry. The interaction between Apaf-1 and caspase 9 was confirmed by immunoprecipitation. RESULTS: Compared with untreated and NCsiRNA groups, BARF1 gene silencing significantly inhibited the cell viability, induced apoptosis, and reduced the mitochondrial membrane potential in the NUGC3 and SNU719 cells transfected with siRNA. BARF1 gene silencing up-regulated the expression of pro-apoptotic proteins and down-regulated the expression of anti-apoptotic proteins, and the Bcl-2/Bax ratio was significantly decreased. In BARF1 gene silencing cells, the caspase inhibitor z-VAD-fmk inhibited BARF1 silencing-mediated apoptosis, and significantly increased the levels of cleaved caspase 3 and caspase 9. The concentration of cytochrome C significantly increased as compared with NCsiRNA group, and Apaf-1 interacted with caspase 9 in the cytoplasm. CONCLUSION: BARF1 silencing induces apoptosis via the mitochondrial pathway through regulating the expression of Bcl-2 and Bax proteins in a caspase-dependent manner in the NUGC3 and SNU719 cells.

中国原油污染区重金属空间分布模式及其潜在来源研究

Twenty-two soil samples were collected at the subregional scale （50 km2） around Gudao Town, a typical oil-producing region of the Shengli Oilfield in the Yellow River Delta, China to determine the spatial distribution patterns and potential sources of heavy metals in soils of crude oil-polluted regions. The concentrations of total petroleum hydrocaxbons （TPHs） and heavy metals as well as other soil properties were determined and the enrichment factor values were calculated for the heavy metals measured. Principal component analysis （PCA） and cluster analysis （CA） were used to estimate potential sources contributing to the concentrations of heavy metals in the soils. The results revealed that the soils were slightly alkaline （pH = 7.33-8.05） and high in salinity （1.43-41.30 g kg-1）, TPHs （0.51 28.40 g kg-1） and organic matter （1.74-31.50 g kg-1）. The mean concentrations of the measured heavy metals Cu, Zn, Pb, Cd, Cr, Ni and V were 18.4, 78.2, 20.8, 0.19, 56.6, 26.3 and 62.1 mg kg-1, respectively. Although the concentrations of all the metals measured in this study were not high enough to exceed the national control standards, there was a significant enrichment of Cd in the study area and Zn and Ni were in the category of deficiency to minimal enrichment. The spatial distribution patterns of Cu, Cr, Ni and V were similar and partially affected by oil exploitation and petroleum hydrocarbon spills. Potential sources of Cr, Ni, V and Cu in the soils were both natural sources and petroleum hydrocarbon spills, while Zn, Pb and Cd were probably from anthropogenic sources such as farming activities and traffic.

基于逻辑回归的植物新品种权质量评估研究——以杂交水稻品种权为例

随着植物新品种权的申请授权量急剧增长,品种权的"数量多、质量差"的问题引起了全社会的普遍关注。如何评价品种权质量成为重要的理论和现实问题。为了科学合理地判断我国品种权的综合质量水平,首先从竞争力的角度界定植物新品种权质量的定义,然后从品种权的法律、技术和经济三大属性建立品种权质量评价指标体系,并利用均值差异法验证品种权质量指标的有效性,最后采用逻辑回归模型构建品种权质量综合指数,以便全面、快捷地综合评价品种权质量。植物新品种权质量评估研究不仅有利于解决品种权质量判断标准问题,对提高品种权质量水平提供了理论依据,而且为我国品种权的价值评估、许可转让、融资、抵押等交易活动提供重要参考。
