    Objective To investigate the change of expression of relevant genes during osteogenic and adipogenic differentiations of rat bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells. Methods BMSCs from rats were isolated and cultured by adherent culture,observed for morphological change and determined for growth by MTT assay,based on which the growth curve was plotted. The osteogenic and adipogenic differentiations of BMSCs of passage 4 were induced with the corresponding inducers,and the alkaline phosphatase(ALP)activity,osteogenic and adipogenic differentiation abilities of the cells were determined by ALP kit,alizarin red staining and oil red staining respectively. The mRNA expressions of Runx2,osteocalcin(OCN),ALP,peroxidase proliferator activated receptor gamma(PPARγ) and fatty acid binding protein 4(FABP4) after induction for 0,7,14 and 21 d were determined by RT-QPCR. Results BMSCs were successfully isolated and cultured. Passaged cells were proliferated rapidly,most of which were in a long spindle form.The cell growth curve was in an S shape. After induction with osteogenic and adipogenic inducers,the results of ATP activity test,alizarin red staining and oil red staining of BMSCs of passage 4 were positive. The expression levels of mRNA of osteogenic genes(Runx2,OCN and ALP)and adipogenic genes(PPARγ and FABP4)after induction for 7,14 and 21 d were significantly higher than those before induction(0 d)(P < 0. 05). During osteogenic differentiation,the expression levels of Runx2 and ALP reached the maximums after induction for 7 d then showed decreasing trends,while that of OCN showed a steady increasing trend. However,during adipogenic differentiation,the expression level of PPARγreached the maximum after induction for 7 d,while that of FABP4 was higher throughout. Conclusion BMSCs are easy to be isolated,cultured and amplified in vitro,with potential of multi-differentiation after induction. The expression levels of genes related to osteogenic and adipogenic differentiations changed with the increasing time for induction,indicating the regulatory roles of the genes. It provides an experimental basis for study on the mechanism of BMSCs in bone,cell and gene engineering.

  • Progress in research on role of epidermal growth factor receptor in tumorigenesis and tumor development

    ZHANG Jin-jin;TANG Hui;Institute of Basic Medical Sciences,Affiliated Hospital of Kunming University of Science and Technology;

    Epidermal growth factor receptor(EGFR),a membrane protein with tyrosine kinase activity,is expressed in human epidermal cells and stromal cells,and is highly expressed in a variety of human tumors. It is also involved in the development of a series of malignant tumors,which plays an important role in promoting the growth,proliferation,angiogenesis,invasion,metastasis and apoptosis of tumor cells,and shows a certain regulatory effect. The expression level of EGFR may be used as a prognostic indicator of various tumors. This paper reviews the progress in research on the role of EGFR in tumorigenesis and tumor development.

  • Current status of research on application of nanobodies in tumor therapy

    WANG Zhi-ming;YANG Li-xia;NCPC New Drug Research and Development Co.,Ltd.State Key Laboratory of Antibody Drug Development;

    Given the unique molecular characteristics,nanobodies(Nbs)with low molecular mass are amenable to many applicability as diagnostic or therapeutic tools. When nanobodies were used in oncology,not much was expected from them initially because the lackof Fc-effector domain needed for cytotoxicity. However,the deepening research and clever rational design may overcome this limitation. The Nbs in research and development participate in tumor therapy in a variety of forms:direct antagonistic effects,linkage to effector moieties,incorporation into drug delivery systems,and application to radionuclide therapy and photodynamic therapy,etc. This paper reviews the drug characteristics and application if Nbs in tumor therapy as well as current status of research on Nbs drugs in clinical trial.

  • Progress in research on enteroviruses type 68

    GAO You;XU Xing-li;LI Qi-han;Kunming Medical University;

    As a member of Picornaviridae family,species Enterovirus D,enterovirus type 68(EV-D68) is a viral pathogen isolated from a child who hospitalized and manifested pneumonia and bronchiolitis in 1962. Though few of reports about the virus have been published since its discovery,a large epidemic was observed in 2005. In 2014,a large epidemic happened in North America. This viral infection usually leads to a series of clinical symptoms including cough,wheezing and hypoxemia in children,and is considered as being associated with some cases of acute flaccid paralysis reported recently. This paper reviews the progress in research on the biological characters,epidemiology,pathogenesis and clinic features of EV-D68.

  • Progress in research on pneumococcal surface protein A

    QIAN Jing;CAO Ling;Children's Hospital,Capital Institute of Paediatrics;

    Streptococcus pneumonia(Sp)is the main pathogen of community-acquired infection in children. At present,the long-term use of heptavalent pneumococcal conjugate vaccine and 23-valent pneumococcal polysaccharide vaccine may induce serotype substitution,which may weaken the benefits of vaccination. Looking for a new candidate vaccine is an effective way to prevent the diseases caused by Sp. This paper reviews the progress in research on pneumococcal surface protein A(PspA),the most important candidate antigen for the next generation of Sp vaccine.
