Expression of natural killer cell stimulatory receptor NKG2D and its ligand MICA in Tibetan patients with gastric cancer at Qinghai plateau

AIM: To investigate the expression of natural killer cell stimulation receptor D(NKG2D) in peripheral blood and the expression of major histocompatibility complex class I chain-related protein A(MICA) on the gastric carcinoma tissue and the neighboring non-cancerous tissue in Tibetan patients with gastric cancer at Qinghai plateau. METHODS: Samples of 33 patients and 20 healthy persons were collected to detect NKG2D in peripheral blood by Flow cytometry analysis. The expressions of MICA in part of the correspondent tissues were examined by RT-PCR and immunohistochemistry.RESULTS: The expression of NKG2D in the plateau of Tibetan patients with gastric cancer group (13.47 ±5.26)% was significantly lower than that in healthy groups (32.62±10.08)%. The mRNA level of MICA in gastric cancer was significantly higher than that in neighboring non-cancerous tissue (P<0.05). The expressions of MICA proteins showed a significant difference between the neighboring non-cancerous tissue (21.21%, 7/33) and the gastric carcinoma tissue (78.79%, 26/33), between the high differentiation (60.00%, 3/5) and the moderate (72.73%, 8/11), low differentiation (88.24%, 15/17). The expressions of MICA were not correlated with tumor size, sex, age, lymph node metastasis of the patients (P>0.05). Spearman rank correlation displayed that the expressions of MICA mRNA were positively correlated with the MICA protein level (r=0.903, P<0.01).CONCLUSION: The immune escape in Tibetan patients with gastric cancer at Qinghai plateau probably relates to the down-regulation of NKG2D and the up-regulation of its ligand MICA. The activity of NK cells and the anti-cancer cellular immunity level are descending in the plateau of Tibetan patients with gastric cancer. The decrease in the receptor NKG2D is a reason for the activity of NK cell descending.

Effect of external counterpulsation on asymmetry diethylarginine and endothelin levels in blood

AIM:To observe changes of serum asymmetry dimethylarginine (ADMA) and endothelin-1 (ET-1) levels,which reflect blood vessel endothelial function,after therapy of enhanced external counterpulsation(EECP) in patients who had taken percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty and stent.METHODS:Fifty one coronary heart disease patients (all of them had taken percutaneous tranluminal coronary angioplasty and stent) were distributed into two groups by matching them with ratio of 1∶2,17 patients in EECP group and 34 patients in control group.Both of two groups were given conventional medicine,in addition,EECP group was undertaken three courses of treatment of EECP.ADMA was detected by HPLC-fluorescence method,and ET-1 was detected by radio-immunity method.RESULTS:In EECP group ，compared with prior treatment,ADMA and ET-1 levels was obviously reduced (P<0.05).In control group,compared with prior treatment,ADMA had no significant difference (P>0.05) and ET-1 was higher (P<0.01).Compared between two groups,extent of decrease in ADMA and ET-1 levels in EECP group were more obvious than control group (P<0.01).Improvement of angina and decrease of frequency of angina was more obvious in EECP group than control group.Besides,decrease of ADMA level was positive correlation with them (r=0.85，0.70,respectively P<0.01).CONCLUSION:EECP reduces serum ADMA and ET-1 levels by increasing shear stress to vessel endothelium in coronary heart disease patients who had taken percutaneous tranluminal coronary angioplasty.It hints that EECP can improve endothelial function and provides experimental evidence for the combined treatment of coronary heart disease.     

龙眼体胚发生早期miR166初级体的克隆与表达分析

为了解龙眼miR166初级体基因Pri-miR166 S53结构特点及其前体和成熟体在龙眼体胚发生早期的表达模式,采用SMART~(TM) RACE试剂盒和PCR扩增技术克隆龙眼体胚早期miR166基因的初级体(Pri-miR166 S53),确认其转录起始位点,并预测其含有的潜在ORF;利用龙眼基因组数据库提取其启动子序列,预测其含有的顺式作用元件;用实时荧光定量PCR对龙眼体胚发生早期及不同激素处理下的胚性愈伤组织中miR166基因的前体(Pre-miR166 S53)和成熟体(miR166a.2)表达模式进行分析。结果表明:获得长317 bp的Pri-miR166 S53基因初级体序列,对其进行翻译,得到一条长13个氨基酸序列的miPEP(MLCFVDALFLIST)。利用生物信息学软件分析Pri-miR166 S53基因的启动子序列发现,除了具有TATA/CAAT-box外,还含有生长素、脱落酸、乙烯、水杨酸、茉莉酸甲酯及spl、HSE等特异作用元件。实时荧光定量PCR分析表明,在2,4-D调控的龙眼体胚发生早期过程中,从胚性松散型愈伤组织发育到球形胚的过程中,Pri-miR166 S53基因的前体pre-miR166 S53和成熟体miR166a.2都表现为下调趋势;而在无2,4-D调控的龙眼体胚发生早期中,pre-miR166 S53和miR166a.2表达模式不同。此外,pre-miR166S53随ABA和乙烯处理浓度升高呈下调表达,而对不同浓度2,4-D处理无应答;miR166a.2随2,4-D、ABA处理浓度升高呈下调表达,而在乙烯处理下呈上调表达。上述研究结果提示miR166前体和成熟体在对外源激素应答的模式上并不呈简单线性相关,可能存在多层次、多方位的调控。
