This study was designed to explore the expression and role which FOXG1 plays in human glioma. Methods: We detected the expression of FOXG1 by immunohistochemistry in glioma tissue samples. Following the down-regulation of FOXG1 in glioma cell lines by a specific short hairpin RNA, the function of FOXG1 in proliferation and apoptosis was assessed. Results: Glioma tissues exhibited notably higher expression of FOXG1 compared with control brain tissues and was positively corre- lated with histological malignancy. The down-regulation of FOXG1 in glioma cells led to a cell apoptosis in vitro. Cenclusion: The overexpression of FOXG1 is a novel glioma malignancy marker, and FOXG1 may be used as a new target in therapeutic strategies for human glioma.展开更多

Methods: A plasmid of a short hairpin RNA targeting acid phosphatase 1 (ACP1) was constructed and transfected into MG-63 cell line. ACP1 expression of MG-63 cells before and after transfection was detected by RT-PCR and Western blot. The capacity of adhesion, migration and inva- sion was examined by adhesion assay, migration assay and transwell assay. Results: The recombinant plasmid pGenesil-l/ ACPI-shRNA was successfully constructed, shRNA efficiently inhibited the expression of ACPI by gene and protein level and suppressed cell migration. The adhesion decreased from 96.41±8.83 to 43.38 ± 6.03 (P 〈 0.01), invasion ability from 56.5 ± 4.8 to 36.3 ± 6.1 (P 〈 0.05). Conclusion: Down-regulating ACP1 by shRNA reduced the capacity of metastasis of MG-63 cell,which providing a novo-approach to biotherapy of cancer.展开更多

METHODS: Twenty-four patients suspected of intracranial aneurysms underwent routine catheter four-vessel angiography, three dimensional CT angiography (3D-CTA), magnetic resonance angiography (MRA) or conventional digital subtraction angiography (DSA). RESULTS: A total of 28 aneurysms were detected by CT angiography in this study. Twenty-one patients each had a single aneurysm, two patients each had two aneurysms, and one had three aneurysms. The shapes of aneurysms revealed by 3D-CTA were round in 20 lesions, elliptical in 5, and 1 obulated in 3. Of the 24 lesions which were completely disclosed during surgery, the shapes correlated well with the 3D-CT angiograms. The mean diameter of the aneurysmal neck was 5.9 mm in 3D-CTA images, with the smallest being 1.6 mm and the largest 13.7 mm. The size was very close to the actual size measured at surgery (P展开更多
