  • Expressions and Significance of Hedgehog Ssignaling Pathway Protein of Ptch1 and Gli1 in Cholangiocarcinoma

    ObjectiveTo investigate the expressions of Patched-1 (Ptch1) and glioma-associated oncogene homologl (Gli1) protein of sonic hedgehog signaling pathway in cholangiocarcinoma tissues, and explore their correlations to the occurrence and development of cholangiocarcinoma. MethodsThe expressions of Ptch1 and Gli1 protein in 62 specimens of cholangiocarcinoma and its bile duct tissues adjacent to cancer were detected by immunohistochemistry, and their positive rate correlated with patients, age, tumor size, differentiation grade, tumor location, lymph node metastasis, TNM stage, operation mode, and postoperative survival time were investigated by statistical analysis. ResultsThe positive rates of Ptch1 and Gli1 protein were significantly higher in cholangiocarcinoma than in tissues adjacent to cancer (74.2% vs. 14.5%, 88.7% vs. 9.7%, P < 0.05). The expressions of Ptch1 and Gli1 protein in cholangiocarcinoma had no correlation to patients age, tumor size, and tumor location (P > 0.05), but were correlated to the operation mode, differentiation grade, lymph node metastasis, TNM stage, and postoperative survival time of patients (P < 0.05). ConclusionsThe elevated expressions of Ptch1 and Gli1 protein of Hh signaling pathway participated in the occurrence and development of cholangiocarcinoma.

    Objective To construct AWP1 (associated with protein kinase C related kinase 1) recombinant adenovirus as the tool of transferring the gene and investigate its expression and localization in human vascular endothelial cell ECV304. Methods Cloned AWP1 cDNA was inserted into the multiply clone sites (MCS) of plasmid pcDNA3 for adding flag tag, and the flag-AWP1 gene was subcloned into shuttle vector pAdTrack-CMV. After identified with restrictional enzymes, plasmid pAdTrack-flag-AWP1 was linearized by digestion with restriction endonuclease PmeⅠ, and subsequently cotransformed into E.coli BJ5183 cells with adenoviral backbone plasmid pAdEasy-1 to make homologous recombination. After linearized by PacⅠ, the homologous recombinant adenovirus plasmid transfected into 293 cells with Lipofectamine to pack recombinant adenovirus. After PCR assay of recombinant adenovirus granules, recombinant adenoviruses infected 293 cells repeatedly for obtaining the high-level adenoviruses solution. And then, the recombinant adenoviruses infected human ECV304 cells for observing the expression and localization of AWP1 under laser scanning confocal microscope (LSCM). Results PCR assay showed that recombinant adenovirus Ad-flag-AWP1 was obtained successfully; and ECV304 cells were infected high-efficiently by the homologous recombinant virus. Then, it was observed that flag-AWP1 protein expressed in ECV304 cells and distributed in the leading edges of the cell membrane. Conclusion The vectors of flag-AWP1 recombinant adenovirus are constructed, and the localization of AWP1 protein in ECV304 cells might show that AWP1 may be a potential role on the cell signal transduction.

  • Associations of genetic polymorphisms in STAT6 with tuberculosis susceptibility in western Chinese Han population

    ObjectiveTo investigate the associations of signal transducers and activators of transcription 6 (STAT6) gene polymorphisms with susceptibility to tuberculosis in western Chinese Han population.MethodsA total of 900 tuberculosis patients and 1 534 healthy controls of West China Hospital of Sichuan University were enrolled from January 2014 to February 2016. Improved multiplex ligation detection reaction method was used to detect four polymorphisms (rs1059513, rs73118432, rs841718, and rs10783813) of STAT6 gene. The allelic frequencies, genetic types, and different genetic models were analyzed using the chi-square test and unconditional logistic regression models to evaluate the associations of STAT6 gene with tuberculosis risk.ResultsEventually, a total of 856 cases and 1 511 health controls were recruited in our study. No significant differences were observed in allele frequencies, genotype distributions, or genetic models (additive model, dominant model and recessive model) at rs1059513, rs73118432, rs841718, and rs10783813 in STAT6 gene (P>0.05). We found a strong linkage disequilibrium among rs73118432, rs841718, and rs10783813, but there was no statistical difference in haplotype frequencies between the two groups (P>0.05).ConclusionsSTAT6 gene rs73118432, rs841718, rs10783813, and rs1059513 polymorphisms might have no associations with tuberculosis susceptibility in western Chinese Han population. Further studies with larger sample sizes are needed to comfirm these results.

  • Intranasal Administration of Interleukin-27 Alleviates Airway Allergic Inflammation of Ovalbumin-induced Mouse Asthma Model via STAT1 Signal Pathway

    ObjectiveTo observe whether interleukin-27 (IL-27) intervention could diminish allergic airway inflammation of mouse asthma induced by ovalbumin (OVA) and to investigate the related molecular mechanisms. MethodsSixty female C57/6J mice were randomly divided into six groups, a control group, an asthma group, two IL-27 prevention groups and two IL-27 treatment groups. Based on being sensitized and challenged with OVA in the asthma model, two kinds of IL-27 intervention asthma models were set up, one of which was low-dose multiple prevention model, the other was high-dose few times treatment model. HE stain and inflammation score were done for the lungs. CD4+ T cells were purified from mice spleen and cultured under Th2 medium with/without IL-27. Interleukin-4 (IL-4) was measured by ELISA. CD4+ T cells were cultured under different stringent Th2 medium and stimulated by IL-27. The level of total signal transducer and activator of transcription-1 (STAT1) protein and phos-STAT1 were tested by Western blot. ResultsIn low-dose multiple prevention group, IL-27 inhibited inflammation around bronchial and vascular obviously, the inflammation score was lower than the asthma group (P < 0.05), while the treatment group had no obvious statistical significance (P > 0.05). IL-27 repressed Th2 differentiation of naïve CD4+ T cells which was independent of interferon-γand IL-10. This effect was via STAT1 signaling pathway. CD4+ T cells from asthma mice or cultured under high-IL-4 inducing medium were found impairment of STAT1 phosphorylation. ConclusionsIL-27 could inhibit Th2 differentiation of naïve CD4+ T cells, but not in already committed Th2-CD4+ T cells. The inhibition effect of IL-27 for airway inflammation is obvious in prevention group, while the treatment group shows obviously resistance to inhibitory effect of IL-27. Already committed Th2-CD4+ T cells existed in asthma airway might be the reason for IL-27 resistance.
