• Progress in research on hand,foot and mouth disease-related enteroviruses and vaccines

    JIN Wei-ping;QIAN Sha-Sha;SHEN Shuo;Viral Vaccine Research Laboratory,Wuhan Institute of Biological Products Co.,Ltd.;

    Since the outbreak of hand,foot and mouth disease(HFMD)caused by enterovirus 71(EV-A71)in Fuyang City,Anhui Province in 2008,China and Southeast Asia have become epidemic areas of HFMD,which has also promoted the basic research and vaccine development of HFMD-related enteroviruses. In 2016,the monovalent inactivated whole virus EV-A71 vaccine was commercially launched,resulting in the decrease of the incidence,severe cases and mortality of HFMD caused by EV-A71 infection. However,the pathogen spectrum of HFMD-related enteroviruses has changed since 2012,with non-EV-A71 and non-CV-A16,including CV-A6 and CV-A10 and other serotypes,gradually become the main pathogens instead of EV-A71 or CV-A16. The monovalent inactivated EV-A71 vaccine is unable to protect HFMD caused by other serotypes. The development of a multivalent vaccine containing EV-A71 and several other major serotypes has become a consensus to prevent HFMD,control the spread of enteroviruses and delay the emergence of mutant and recombinant strains. The progress and challenge in research on the epidemiology,molecular biology of enteroviruses as well as the development of vaccines,especially multivalent vaccines,are reviewed in this paper.

  • Progress in research on role of small molecular compounds in field of induced pluripotent stem cells

    LIU Xin-yang;QIN Jie-chen;ZHAO Qing;School of Pharmaceutical Science & Yunnan Key Laboratory of Pharmacology for Natural Products,Kunming Medical University;

    The use of transcription factors can reprogram differentiated cells into induced pluripotent stem cells(i PSCs).However,transcription factors are prone to gene mutations which will bring safety problems. The ultimate goal of regenerative medicine is to directly obtain somatic cells from patients and induce them to differentiate into pluripotent stem cells through small molecule compounds. The small molecule compound induced pluripotent stem cells is an important tool to effectively produce high-quality i PSCs. There are many types of small molecule compounds with stable structures and relatively controllable effects. This article reviews the classification and effects of small molecule com-pounds that have been reported so far,as well as the methods to induce i PSCs from all compounds.

  • Effect of CD44 expression on breast cancer stem cells

    ZHANG Rui-juan;YANG Ying;College of Life Science,Tianjin University;

    The stemness of breast cells is mainly maintained by CD44 standard isoform(CD44 s),while the cell proliferation by CD44 variant isoform(CD44 v). As an important signal molecule,CD44 receives signal transmission of cytokines which come from microenvironment,integrates the signal and releases CD44 ICD through the action of lyase,and transmits the signal to the nucleus. CD44 v subtype cells also play a leading role in the metastasis process of breast cancer stem cells(BCSCs)which express CD44. During epithelial-mesenchymal transition(EMT),the transformation and structural changes of CD44 subtype have a significant effect on cell invasion,migration and distal positioning. This paper reviews the maintenance of stemness of breast cancer cells by CD44 and the preference of different subtypes of breast cancer cells during metastasis to lung,bone,liver and brain during metastasis.

  • Progress in research on correlation of human leukocyte antigen typing to leukemia

    PEI Yong-feng;YU Mei;Institute of Transfusion Medicine,Nanning Blood Center;

    Human leukocyte antigen(HLA) is the major histocompatibility complex(MHC) in humans,of which the typing methods are mainly based on low-resolution polymerase chain reaction-sequence specific primers(PCR-SSP) and high-resolution polymerase chain reaction-direct sequencing typing(PCR-SBT). At present,the pathogenesis of leukemia is not completely known. It is found that HLA is an important genetic factor for leukemia. Many HLA genes are genetically susceptible or antagonistic to the occurrence of leukemia,and some HLA molecules are closely related to the diagnosis,treatment and prognosis of leukemia. This article reviews the progress in research on the correlation of HLA typing to leukemia in recent years,which will provide a reference for the research on the pathogenesis,diagnosis and prevention of leukemia.
