METHODS： The LS-174T colon cancer cell line was used to study the role of the prostaglandin precursor AA and the omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acid DHA on cell growth. Cell viability was assessed in XTT assays. For analysis of cell cycle and cell death, flow cytometry and DAPI staining were applied. Expression of cyclooxygenase-2 （COX-2）, p21 and bcl-2 in ceils incubated with AA or DHA was examined by real-time RT-PCR. Prostaglandin E2 （PGE2） generation in the presence of AA and DHA was measured using a PGE2- ELISA. RESULTS： AA increased cell growth, whereas DHA reduced viability of LS 174T cells in a time- and dosedependent manner. Furthermore, DHA down- regulated mRNA of bcl-2 and up-regulated p21. Interestingly, DHA was able to suppress AA-induced cell proliferation and significantly lowered AA-derived PGE2 formation. DHA also down-regulated COX-2 expression. In addition to the effect on PGE2 formation, DHA directly reduced PGE2-induced cell proliferation in a dosedependent manner. CONCLUSION： These results suggest that DHA can inhibit the pro-proliferative effect of abundant AA or PGE2.展开更多

In addition, IR spectrum, thermogravimetric analysis, electron paramagnetic resonance （EPR） spectra and magnetic susceptibility of this complex are discussed. X-ray determination indicates that six- and seven-coordinate modes between Mn（Yl） and H4EDTA exist alternately in 1. Furthermore, detailed discussion of magnetic ordering in tile temperature range of 2-300 K reveals the antiferromagnetic interactions in the complex.展开更多

The crystal is of orthorhombic, space group Pbca with a = 16.287(2), b = 11.347(4), c = 20.975(4) ? V = 3876.4(16) ?, Z = 8, Dc = 1.297 g/cm3, F(000) = 1600, m = 0.088 mm-1, MoKa radiation (l = 0.71073 ?. The structure was refined to R = 0.0337 and wR = 0.1038 for 1952 observed reflections with I > 2s(I). X-ray diffraction analysis reveals that two amide groups are located at the 1 and 4 positions, and the tetrazine ring itself shows a boat conformation.展开更多
