Methods: Eahy926 human endothelium cell (EC) line was used; thiazolyl blue tetrazolium bromide (MTT) test was assayed to observe the viability of EC; Luciferase reporter gene assay was applied to measure nuclear factor- κB (NF- κ B) p65 subunit nuclear binding activity in EC; Western blot technology was used to monitor mitogen activated protein kinase (MAPKs) and NF- κ B activation. Reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) method was applied to observe intercellular cell adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1) and E-selectin mRNA level; EC surface ICAM-1 expression was measured with flow cytometry and leukocyte adhesion to EC was assayed with Rose Bengal spectrophotometry technology. Results: HSYA protected EC viability against LPS-induced injury (P〈0.05). LPS-induced NF- κ B p65 subunit DNA binding (P〈0.01) and nuclear factor of kappa light polypeptide gene enhancer in B-cells inhibitor α (I κ B α) phosphorylation was inhibited by HSYA. HSYA attenuated LPS triggered ICAM-1 and E-selectin mRNA levels elevation and phosphorylation of p38 MAPK or c-Jun N-terminal kinase MAPK. HSYA also inhibited LPS-induced cell surface ICAM-1 protein expression (P〈0.01) and leukocyte adhesion to EC (P〈0.05). Conclusion: HSYA is effective to protect LPS-induced high expression of endothelium adhesive molecule and inflammatory signal transduction.展开更多

Methods RT-PCR was used to detect mRNA of CD 44V and CD 44S in 10 gastric normal mucosa,8 gastric precancerous mucosa,10 tissue adjacent to cancer,40 gastric carcinoma (including metastatic focus) with different pathological features.Results All gastric carcinomas and non-cancerous tissues expressed CD 44S ,but CD 44V expression rate were 0%, 12.5%,20% and 72.5% ,respectively, in normal gastric mucosa, precancerous tissue,tissue adjacent to cancer,carcinoma. Cancer invasion limited to submucosal layer showed lower CD 44V expression rate than invasion extended beyond the muscle layer (P<0.05). Samples with lymph node metastasis showed higher CD 44V expression rate than samples without lymph node metastasis,meanwhile, there was significant correlation between metastasis limited to N1 and beyond N1 (P<0.05). There was no relationship between CD 44V expression and Lauren's type, TNM stage as well (P>0.05). Conclusion There is a close relation between CD 44V and genesis and development of gastric cancer. CD 44 gene variant splicing is an early genetic affair in gastric cancer.It could be a diagnostic tool to screen high-risk people for gastric carcinoma. CD 44V can be regard as a parameter in evaluating the potential of cancer cell invasion and metastasis ,as well as prognosis.展开更多
