    YAO Huixin;GAO Dan;LI Huamin;YANG Bing;WANG Yuening;LI Huiying;SUN Zhe;LIU Feifei;Hongqi Hospital Affiliated to Mudanjiang Medical College;

    Objective To analyze the ability of miR-628-3p to inhibit the proliferation,migration and invasion of ovarian cancer(OV)by targeting serine/threonine kinase 17B(STK17B).Methods The expression level of miR-628-3p in OV tissues and prognosis were analyzed by bioinformatics. OV cells(SKOV3,HO8910)were transfected with miR-NC(miRNC group),miR-628-3p(miR-628-3p group)and miR-628-3p + STK17B(miR-628-3p + STK17B group). The expression level of miR-628-3p in OV cells after transfection was determined by RT-qPCR. Cells proliferation ability in each group was measured by CCK-8 and clone assays,the migration ability was detected by scratch assay,and the invasion ability was detected by Transwell invasion assay. The mass and volume of tumors were detected by tumor formation assay in nude mice. The target gene of miR-628-3p was predicted by Starbase databases,which was verified by dual luciferase reporter assay. The expression level of STK17B protein in each group was detected by Western blot.Results The expression level of miR-628-3p was low in OV tissues,and the disease-free survival(DFS)was short in patients. Compared with miR-NC group,the miR-628-3p expression was up-regulated in both SKOV3 and HO8910 cells of miR-628-3p group(t = 7. 789 and7. 862,respectively,each P < 0. 05),the activity(t = 8. 124 and 8. 209,respectively,each P < 0. 05),numbers(t =9. 012 and 9. 110,respectively,each P < 0. 05),migration(t = 10. 002 and 9. 983,respectively,each P < 0. 05)and invasion(t = 11. 245 and 11. 320,respectively,each P < 0. 05)abilities of OV cells were significantly decreased. Compared with miR-NC group,the volume and mass of transplanted tumors were significantly reduced in miR-628-3p group(t =8. 429 and 10. 367,respectively,each P < 0. 05). It was predicted by databases that STK17B was the target gene of miR-628-3p,which was verified by dual luciferase reporter assay. The levels of STK17B mRNA(t = 13. 852 and 13. 914,respectively,each P < 0. 05)and protein(t = 11. 524 and 11. 603,respectively,each P < 0. 05)in miR-628-3p group were lower than those in miR-NC group. GEPIA data analysis showed that STK17B was highly expressed in OV tissues.Compared with miR-628-3p group,the activity(t = 8. 692 and 8. 721,respectively,each P < 0. 05),numbers(t = 14. 112and 14. 093,respectively,each P < 0. 05),migration(t = 13. 805 and 13. 911,respectively,each P < 0. 05)and invasion(t = 14. 117 and 14. 207,respectively,each P < 0. 05)abilities of SKOV3 and HO8910 cells significantly increased in miR-628-3p + STK17B group.Conclusion The miR-628-3p inhibits the proliferation,migration and invasion of OV cells by down-regulating STK17B expression,thereby inhibiting the development of OV.

    Objective To establish a chronic asthma mouse model induced by allergen ovalbumin(OVA),and analyze the immune response dynamic characteristics. Methods Twenty-two female BALB/c mice were sensitized intraperitoneally with OVA,and the airway response was stimulated by repeated infusion through nasal cavity. Samples were taken at different time points for analysis. The bronchoalveolar lavage fluid(BALF)of mice was collected and inflammatory cells were counted;the supernatant of lavage fluid was taken and detected for the levels of various related cytokines by ELISA. The lung tissue was taken to prepare sections,which was detected for the inflammatory cell infiltration by hematoxylin-eosin(HE)staining,for the goblet cell hyperplasia in airway epithelium by periodic acid-Schiff(PAS)staining,and for the collagen deposition by Masson′s Trichrome and Sircol staining. The venous blood of mice was collected,the serum was separated,and the levels of OVA-specific IgE,IgG1 and IgG2a in serum were detected by ELISA. The airway reactivity was measured using a FlexiVent small animal ventilator with low-frequency forced oscillation. Results Repeated challenges of OVA successfully induced typical asthma features such as inflammatory cell response in airway and lung tissues,inflammatory cytokine accumulation,airway goblet cell hyperplasia,lung fibrosis,allergen-specific IgE antibody response and airway hyperresponsiveness in mice,and different dynamic responsive characteristics appeared. With the repeated challenges of OVA,inflammatory cell response and goblet cell hyperplasia reduced,but collagen deposition developed,while airway hyperresponsiveness remained 4 weeks after the last stimulation. The expression of TGF-β1 was high during the inflammatory response,while the expression of TGF-β2 and IL-33 did not increase until 4 weeks after the last challenge. Conclusion This study successfully developed a chronic asthma model in mice,showing the immune response characteristics,laying a foundation for investigating immunopathological mechanisms of chronic asthma and developing therapeutic targets and strategies.

    Objective To study the influence of various gene segments of influenza virus on its growth characteristics by using the reverse genetics system.Methods The growth curves of inter-lineage reassortment viruses B/FujianTongan/1565/2013 and B/BeijingHuairou/11764/2013 were determined. The nucleic acids of the two strains were extracted and all gene segments were amplified,then pHW2000 vector was used to construct recombinant plasmids of all segments.The reassortment B/FujianTongan/1565/2013 virus was constructed,then single or different combinations of segments were replaced by segments from B/BeijingHuairou/11764/2013 virus to construct new reassortment viruses. The growth characteristics of all reassortment viruses were analyzed to identify the influence of the gene segments.Results There was significant difference in growth characteristics between the two strains,and the peak value of the growth curve of B/FujianTongan/1565/2013 was about 2 times log higher than that of B/BeijingHuairou/11764/2013. However,there was no significant difference in growth characteristics between B/FujianTongan/1565/2013 and the 8 strains of reassortment viruses with single segment replaced by segment from B/BeijingHuairou/11764/2013,but when the gene combination of HA and NA(surface protein)or PB2,PB1 and PA(polymerase)or PB2,PB1,PA and NP(ribonucleoprotein,RNP)were replaced,the growth characteristics of the reassortment virus decreased significantly.Conclusion The growth characteristics of influenza B virus may be less affected by a single segment,and the synergistic effect of multiple segments is more significant. Therefore,the monitoring of reassortment variant viruses should be strengthened in the surveillance process.

    Objective To establish an improved model of oxygen glucose deprivation/reoxygenation(OGD/R)in primary hippocampal neurons. Methods Hippocampal neurons were isolated from brain tissue of SD neonatal rat,and neuron suspension was prepared. By inhibiting the number of glial cells,the neuron suspension was divided into three groups,and no inhibition,partial inhibition and complete inhibition,the cell morphology was observed under microscope to determine the optimal culture conditions for primary hippocampal neurons. Based on this condition,the hippocampal neurons were deprived of glucose and oxygen for 0. 5,1 and 1. 5 h,and then reoxygenated for 0,24,36 and 48 h,separately. The content of lactic dehydrogenase(LDH)in culture medium was detected by ELISA,and the survival rate of neurons was measured by CCK-8 assay. The condition with higher LDH content and less influence on survival rate was the optimal condition for OGD/R model of primary hippocampal neurons. Results When the glial cells were partially inhibited,the purity of neurons was high with uniform growth status. The ratio of glial cells to hippocampal neurons was about 1∶1,which preserved the structural and functional connection between glial cells and neurons. Compared with OGD 1 h group,the LDH content increased significantly at OGD 1 h/R 36 h(t = 4. 31,P < 0. 05),while there was no significant difference in neuronal survival rate(t = 1. 99,P > 0. 05). Conclusion Primary hippocampal neurons with about 1∶1 number of glial cells and neurons were obtained with good growth status. The OGD/R model established under the condition of OGD 1 h/R 36 h has relatively high survival rate with shortened dendrites and impaired vitality,which lays a foundation for the further study of the pathogenesis of related diseases.
