Clinicopathologic significance of HER-2/neu protein expression and gene amplification in gastric carcinoma

AIM:To study the HER-2/neu protein expression and gene amplification in gastric carcinoma and their relation.METHODS:One hundred and forty-five formalin-fixed and paraffin-embedded tumor tissue samples from Chinese gastric carcinoma patients were studied with immunohistochemistry(IHC)and fluorescence in situ hybridization(FISH)methods.Clinicopathologic data about all patients were collected.RESULTS:The levels of HER-2 3+,HER-2 2+and HER21+were measurable in 6.9%,8.3%and 17.2%of the samples,respectively.No HER-2 was stained in 67.6% of the samples.FISH showed that HER-2 gene was amplified in 18 samples,10 HER-2 3+samples,5 HER-2 2+samples,and 3 HER-2 1+samples with IHC staining.HER-2 status was not correlated with the sex and age of patients,and tumor size,location or differentiation,but with the depth of invasion,TNM stage,lymph node and distant metastasis as well as histopathological classification of gastric cancer(P<0.05).CONCLUSION:All samples with IHC as HER-2 expression should be analyzed with FISH.Detection of HER-2 gene amplification can assess the malignant biological behaviors and prognosis of gastric cancer.

Quantum Chemical Studies on Proteins in the Reaction Center of Rhodobacter sphaeroides

The electronic structure of protein chains L and M in photosynthetic reaction center (PRC) of Rhodobacter sphaeroides (Van Niel) Imhoff, Truper et Pfennig) was studied by using the Overlapping Dimer Approximation method and the Extended Negative Factor Counter method at ab initio level. The result indicated that: (1) Amino acid residues, the molecular orbitals of which composed the main components of frontier orbitals of protein chain L (M), are located at the random coil areas of chain L (alpha helix areas of chain M). Since the random coil is flexible and more easy to change its conformation in the electron transfer process and to reduce the energy of the system, and the structure of the alpha helix is reletively stable, this difference might be one of the causes for the electron transfer in photosynthetic reaction center (PRC) only takes place along the L branch. (2) The His residues which axially coordinated to the 'special pair' P and accessory chlorophyll molecules (ABChls) are essentially important for the E-LUMO levels of P and ABChl. But, the corresponding molecular orbitals of these His residues do not appear in the composition of frontier orbitals of protein chains. It means that the interaction between pigment molecules and protein chains do not influence the contribution to the frontier orbitals of protein chains explicitly, but influences the corresponding E-LUMO levels significantly.

HER2 gene status and the relationship with p21 protein expression in gastric cancer

Objective： We aimed to analysis the HER2 gene status and its relationship with p21 protein expression in gastric carcinoma. Methods： Fluorescence in situ hybridisation （FISH） and immunohistochemistry （IHC） techniques were used to detect HER2 gene status and p53 protein in 59 cases of gastric cancer. Results： FISH detection of HER2 gene amplification rate was 16.9% （10/59）, HER2 gene amplification in 49 cases without copy number gain and gene amplification were a total of 49.2% （29/59）. HER2 protein expression was 42.4% （25/59）, HER2 gene amplification rates in patients with ＋＋＋, ＋＋ HER2 protein expression were 3/3 and 5/8, while in patients with ＋ HER2 protein expression, it was 2/14, there was significant difference （P 0.05）. p21 protein expression rate was 49.2% （29/59）, HER2 gene amplification rates and p21 protein expression had significant difference in tumor invasion depth, lymph node metastasis （P 0.05）; had no statistical significance in histological type, age, gender differences （P 0.05）. Conclusion： HER2 gene amplification rate and gene copy number had positively correlation with p21 protein expression, HER2 gene status and expression of p21 protein combined detection can provide a reference value in gastric cancer metastasis, patient’s condition development and prognosis, it also can guide clinical development of individual treatment.

The RACE amplifying and sequence analyzing of secreted aspartic proteinase gene SA76 of Trichoderma harzianum

Total RNA was isolated from mycelium of T. harzianum by Total RNA extraction kit, and two clear bands of rRNA （28S and 18S） were observed in agarose electrophoresis. By joining the 3＇end sequence with the known SA76 EST from cDNA library of T. harzianum, a full-length cDNA sequence of 2019bp was obtained, whose open reading frame contained 1593bp, a stop codon TAA, a 5＇untranslated region （5＇UTR） of 266bp, a 3＇untranslated region （3＇UTR） of 201bp, and poly （A） 29 encoded a protein of 530 amino acids, had a signal peptide. T. harzianum shared 53% identity of secreted aspartic proteinase gene with G. zeae, 37% with N. crassa and 36% with C. globosum. The full-length cDNA sequence of secreted aspartic proteinase gene from T. harzianum was cloned for the first time by using BD SMART RACE technique, which provides a foundation to obtain and validate functional genes of T. harzianum.

The Nucleocytoplasmic Transport of Viral Proteins

Molecules can enter the nucleus by passive diffusion or active transport mechanisms, depending on their size. Small molecules up to size of 50-60 kDa or less than 10 nm in diameter can diffuse passively through the nuclear pore complex （NPC）, while most proteins are transported by energy driven transport mechanisms Active transport of viral proteins is mediated by nuclear localization signals （NLS）, which were first identified in Simian Virus 40 large T antigen and had subsequently been identified in a large number of viral they contain short stretches of lysine or arginine residues. These signals are recognized proteins. Usually by the importin super-family （importin α and β） proteins that mediate the transport across the nuclear envelope through Ran-GTP In contrast, only one class of the leucine-rich nuclear export signal （NES） on viral proteins is known at present. Chromosome region maintenance 1 （CRM1） protein mediates nuclear export of hundreds of viral proteins through the recognition of the leucine-rich NES.

Genetic evidence for male-biased dispersal in Elliot's Pheasant (Syrmaticus ellioti) in China

Sex-biased dispersal,in which individuals of one sex tend to disperse and breed at a greater distance from their natal site than individuals of the opposite sex,appears to be common in vertebrate organisms and is very important to population structures and dynamics.Many studies have documented the dispersal patterns of monogamous birds; however,observations and data are few for polygynous birds.In our study,we report on the indication of sex-biased dispersal in Elliot's Pheasant (Syrmaticus ellioti),a vulnerable species endemic to China,using polymorphic DNA microsatellite loci (105 individual birds and seven loci) and mitochondrial DNA control-region sequences (63 birds).Contrary to the traditional concept that males are the more philopatric sex and females the more dispersing sex in birds,all the genetic information extracted from the two markers suggests that male-biased dispersal is predominant in Elliot's Pheasant.We argue that polygynous species in Galliformes without lekking behavior are more likely to exhibit male-biased dispersal patterns,consistent with the expected results based on the polygynous mating system of Elliot's Pheasant.

Host Cell Protein C9orf9 Promotes Viral Proliferation via Interaction with HSV-1 UL25 Protein

In light of the scarcity of reports on the interaction between HSV-1 nucleocapsid protein UL25 and its host cell proteins,the purpose of this study is to use yeast two-hybrid screening to search for cellular proteins that can interact with the UL25 protein.C9orf69,a protein of unknown function was identified.The interaction between the two proteins under physiological conditions was also confirmed by biological experiments including co-localization by fluorescence and immunoprecipitation.A preliminary study of the function of C9orf69 showed that it promotes viral proliferation.Further studies showed that C9orf69 did not influence viral multiplication efficiency by transcriptional regulation of viral genes,but indirectly promoted proliferation via interaction with UL25.

Strong expression of CD133 is associated with increased cholangiocarcinoma progression

AIM:To determine the role of CD133 in cholangiocarcinoma progression. METHODS:CD133 protein expression was evaluated by immunohistochemistry in 34 cholangiocarcinoma specimens.In addition,proliferation,chemoresistance and invasive properties of CD133-enriched(CD133 + ) and CD133-depleted(CD133 )RMCCA1 cholangiocarcinoma cells were studied and compared. RESULTS:Strong CD133 expression was observed in 67.6%(23/34)of the cholangiocarcinoma specimens. Strong expression of CD133 was significantly associated with nodal metastasis(P=0.009)and positive surgical margin status(P=0.011).In the in vitro study, both the CD133 + and CD133 cells had similar proliferation abilities and resistance to chemotherapeutic drugs.However,the CD133 + cells had a higher invasive ability compared with CD133 cells. CONCLUSION:CD133+cells play an important role in the invasiveness of cholangiocarcinoma.Targeting of the CD133+cells may be a useful approach to improve treatment against cholangiocarcinoma.

Phosphorylated vasodilator-stimulated phosphoprotein is localized on mitotic spindles of the gastric cancer cell line SGC-7901

AIM： To elucidate the localization of vasodilator stimulated phosphoprotein （VASP）, a cytoskeletal organizing protein and a substrate of protein kinases A and G in mitotic gastric cancer cells. METHODS： Immunofluorescence microscopy was used to observe the localization of α-tubulin, VASP and Ser157 phosphorylated VASP （p-VASP） in interphase of mitotic gastric cancer of the cell line SGC-7901. RESULTS： Immunofluorescence staining showed that p-VASP but not VASP was co-localized with α-tubulin on spindle poles and fibers in prophase, metaphase and anaphase of the mitotic process of the gastric cancer cell line SGC-7901. H89, an inhibitor of protein kinases A and G, had no effect on the localization of p-VASP on the spindles. CONCLUSION： VASP may play a role in assembling and stabilizing the mitotic spindle of cells, and phosphorylation of the protein is the precondition for it to exert this function.

Human Cytomegalovirus UL138 Open Reading Frame Is Highly Conserved in Clinical Strains

Objective To investigate the variability of human cytomegalovirus （HCMV） UL138 open reading frame （ORF） in clinical strains. Methods HCMV UL138 ORF was amplified by polymerase chain reaction （PCR） and PCR amplification products were sequenced directly, and the data were analyzed in 19 clinical strains. Results LIL138 ORF in all 30 clinical strains was amplified successfully. Compared with that of Toledo strain, the nucleotide and amino acid sequence identifies of LIL138 ORF in all strains were 97.41% to 99.41% and 98.24% to 99.42%, respectively. All of the nucleofide mutations were substitutions. The spatial structure and post-translational modification sites of HL138 encoded proteins were conserved. The result of phylogenetic tree showed that HCMV HL138 sequence variations were not definitely related with different clinical symptoms. Conclusion HCMV UL138 ORF in clinical strains is high conservation, which might be helpful for UL138 encoded protein to play a role in latent infection of HCMV.

A genetic linkage map of marine shrimp Penaeus (Fenneropenaeus) chinensis based on AFLP, SSR, and RAPD markers

The Chinese shrimp Penaeus (Fenneropaeneus) chinensis is an important species in marine fishery and aquaculture in China. A female Chinese shrimp Penaeus (Fenneropaeneus) chinensis was captured from west coast of the Korean peninsula and mated with a "Yellow Sea No. 1" male to produce the first filial generation (F1) 100 F2 full-sib progeny from brother-sister crosses between F1 families was used for the mapping study. A genetic linkage map of the Chinese shrimp was constructed, based on 354 markers, including 300 amplified fragment length polymorphism (AFLP) markers, 42 microsatellite (SSR) markers, and 12 randomly amplified polymorphism (RAPD) markers. Forty-seven linkage groups (LGs) were identified. The total map length was 4 580.5 cM, with an average spacing of 11.3 cM, covering 75.8% of the estimated genome size. The construction of this genetic linkage map was part of a genetic breeding program. This linkage map will contribute to the discovery of genes and quantitative trait loci (QTLs) in Chinese shrimp.

Biased Diffusive Search Triggered by ATP Binding During Kinesin's Stepping

In this paper, we present an asymmetry conformational potential with a reflecting boundary and an absorbing boundary, in which the diffusive search of the free head of kinesin motor can be biased toward its forward binding site. Under a wide range of condition, using first-passage time analysis we perform numerical simulation to the Langevin equation, and obtain the dependence of the dwell time for forward steps on the load force. And we calculate the expression for the dwell time by the Laplace transform method. Both numerical and analytical results show that the dwell times exponentially depend on the load force, which provide a simple physical explanation for experimental data. Our results suggest that ATP binding-conformation change in the neck linker plays an important role in unidirectional steps during kinesin＇s mechanochemical cycle.

Random Amplified Polymorphic DNA （RAPD） Analysis on Blumeria graminis f.sp. tritici Isolates Collected in Central Gansu Province, China

Twenty isolated strains of Blumeria graminis f.sp. tritici collected from central Gansu province were studied with random amplified polymorphic DNA （RAPD） analysis. PCR amplifications using nine random primers generated a total of 81 bands, of which, 54 were polymorphic. The total percentage of polymorphic bands varied from 50.0% to 88.9%. The average percentage based on RAPD patterns was approximately 66.7%, which indicated high heredity differentiation among isolates. Clustering analysis showed that the polymorphism of the twenty isolates was related to geographical origins but had little relationship with the physiological race.

Study on the protein expression and amplification of HER2 gene in gastric cancer

Objective: The aim of the study was to investigate the human epidermal growth factor receptor 2(HER2) gene amplification and protein expression and interpretation points in the stomach mixed carcinomas. Methods: Immunohistochemistry(IHC) and fluorescence in situ hybridization(FISH) technique were used to detect HER2 gene amplification and expression of HER2 protein in 442 cases of gastric mixed carcinoma. Results: The expression rate of HER2 protein was 41.2%(182/442): the HER2 protein expression IHC 3+ extensive type in 18 cases, partial type in 21 cases, focal type in 8 cases, accounting for 10.6%(47/442); the HER2 protein expression IHC 2+ extensive type in 23 cases, partial type in 28 cases, focal type in 11 cases, accounting for 14.0%(62/442); the HER2 protein expression IHC 1+ extensive type in 27 cases, partial type in 31 cases, focal type in 15 cases, accounting for 16.5%(73/442). HER2 gene amplification rate of 442 cases was 16.1%(71/442). In 182 cases of HER2 protein positive expression, the HER2 gene cluster amplification rate was 14.8%(27/182), large granular amplification rate 11.0%(20/182), punctate amplification rate 6.0%(11/182) and high polysomy 7.1%(13/182). In 71 cases of HER2 gene amplification, there was 42 cases of HER2 protein expression IHC 3+, 22 cases of HER2 protein expression IHC 2+, and 7 cases of IHC 1+. Conclusion: HER2 detection of gastric mixed carcinoma has great heterogeneity, HER2 protein positive expression is divided into extensive type, partial type and focal type, and HER2 gene positive amplification is divided into cluster amplification, large granular amplification, punctate amplification and high polysomy. These typing of HER2 protein expression and HER2 gene amplification provide reference index to quantify for targeted therapeutic effect of anticancer drugs.

The role of the HGF/c-Met signaling pathway in crizotinib-induced apoptosis in lung cancer with c-Met amplification

Objective This study aimed to study the role of the HGF/c-Met signaling pathway in crizotinib-induced apoptosis of various lung adenocarcinoma cell lines and xenograft tumor models.Methods In vitro, H2228, H1993, and A549 cells were treated with crizotinib. The inhibition of proliferation was quantitated by a 3-(4, 5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2, 5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide(MTT) assay. Apoptosis was quantified by flow cytometry. Expression of key proteins of the HGF/c-Met signaling pathway was examined by western blotting. In vivo, H1993 and A549 tumor cell xenograft models were established. Immunohistochemical analysis was used to determine protein expression of HGF and c-MET and the amount of phospho-c-MET(p-c-Met). Real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction(PCR) was applied to examine the messenger RNA(m RNA) expression of c-MET and serine/threonine protein kinase(AKT). The expression and activation of the key proteins were evaluated by western blotting.Results In vitro, the growth of H1993, H2228, and A549 cells was inhibited after crizotinib treatment for 72 h. Apoptotic rates of H1993 and H2228 cells increased with the crizotinib concentration and exposure time. In vivo, the growth-inhibitory rate of crizotinib for H1993 xenografts was 72.3%. Positive expression rates of HGF and c-MET in H1993 xenografts were higher than those in A549 xenografts; the p-c-MET amount was the largest in H1993 xenograft control but the lowest in the H1993 xenograft with crizotinib treatment. The m RNA expression levels of c-MET and AKT in H1993 xenografts were higher than those of A549 xenografts. The protein levels of c-MET, AKT, and extracellular regulated protein kinases(ERK) in H1993 xenografts were higher than those in A549 xenografts; the p-AKT amount was higher in H1993 xenograft control than in A549 xenografts; the largest amount of p-c-MET was detected in H1993 xenograft control; the amount of p-ERK was the lowest in the H1993 xenograft with crizotinib treatment.Conclusion The HGF/c-Met signaling pathway may mediate crizotinib-induced apoptosis and inhibition of proliferation of lung adenocarcinoma cells.
