METHODS： Differences in mitochondrial TRAP-1 gene expression between primary CRC with LNM （LNM CRC） and without LNM （non-LNM CRC） were assessed in 96 Chinese colorectal carcinoma samples using quantita- tive RT-PCR analysis, Western blotting, and confirmed with immunohistochemical assay. The relationship between clinicopathological parameters and potential diaclnostic biomarkers was also examined.RESULTS： TRAP-1 was significantly upregulated in LNM CRC compared with non-LNM CRC, which was confirmed by RT-PCR, Western blotting and immuno- histochemical assay. The expression of TRAP-1 in two different metastatic potential human colorectal cancer cell lines, LoVo and HT29, was analyzed with Western blotting. The expression level of TRAP-1 was dramati- cally higher in LoVo than in HT29. Overexpression of TRAP-1 was significantly associated with LNM （90.2% in LNM group vs 22% in non-LNM group, P 〈 0.001）, the advanced tumor node metastasis stage （89.1% in LNM group vs 26.9% in non-LNM group, P 〈 0.001）, the increased 5-year recurrence rate （82.7% in LNM group vs 22.6% in non-LNM group, P 〈 0.001） and the decreased 5-year overall survival rate （48.4% in LNM vs 83.2% in non-LNM group, P 〈 0.001）. Univariate and multivariate analyses indicated that TRAP-1 expression was an independent prognostic factor for recurrence and survival of CRC patients （Hazard ratio of 2.445 in recurrence, P = 0.017; 2.867 in survival, P = 0.028）. CONCLUSION： Mitochondria TRAP-1 affects the lymph node metastasis in CRC, and may be a potential bio- marker for LNM and a prognostic factor in CRC.

为了调查表皮细胞分裂原epigen基因是否与牙鲆变态发育有关,分析了从变态期牙鲆仔鱼cDNA文库中测序得到的epigen基因。发现epigen基因编码162个氨基酸,具有信号肽序列,一个跨膜结构域和EGF-like结构域。EGF-like结构域包含有可形成3个...为了调查表皮细胞分裂原epigen基因是否与牙鲆变态发育有关,分析了从变态期牙鲆仔鱼cDNA文库中测序得到的epigen基因。发现epigen基因编码162个氨基酸,具有信号肽序列,一个跨膜结构域和EGF-like结构域。EGF-like结构域包含有可形成3个二硫键的6个半胱氨酸残基,是表皮生长因子家族的结构特征。此外,利用荧光实时定量RT-PCR,调查了epigen基因在牙鲆眼睛移动过程中的变化。相比眼睛移动之前(17DAH,day after hatching),epigen基因在眼睛移动初期(19DAH)表达明显增强,为17DAH时的2.363倍;而在眼睛移动过程的高峰期(23DAH),表达量明显回落,相对19DAH的表达量降低了80%;变态结束后(27DAH)epigen基因的表达没有重新增强或进一步的回落,提示epigen基因可能与眼睛移动初期的变态发育事件有关,而与变态高峰期和变态后期的发育事件关系不明显。展开更多

However, many applications of qRT-PCR used housekeeping genes as internal controls without validation. In this study, the expression stability of eight candidate reference genes in three tissues （intestine, respiratory tree, and muscle） of the sea cucumber Apostichopus japonicus was assessed during normal growth and aestivation using the geNorm, NormFinder, delta CT, and RefFinder algorithms. The results indicate that the reference genes exhibited significantly different expression patterns among the three tissues during aestivation. In general, the β-tubulin （TUBB） gene was relatively stable in the intestine and respiratory tree tissues. The optimal reference gene combination for intestine was 40S ribosomal protein S18 （RPSI 8）, TUBB, and NADH dehydrogenase （NADH）; for respiratory tree, it was β-actin （ACTB）, TUBB, and succinate dehydrogenase cytochrome B small subunit （SDHC）; and for muscle it was α-tubulin （TUBA） and NADH dehydrogenase [ubiquinone] 1α subcomplex subunit 13 （NDUFA13）. These combinations of internal control genes should be considered for use in further studies of gene expression in A.japonicus during aestivation.展开更多
