The relationships between LRP16 expression and patients' age, tumor size, histological grade, clinical stage, metastatic status and prognosis were analysed.RESULTS: The expression of LRP16 was 58.6% (197/336) in gastric carcinoma and 31.7% (19/60) in distal normal gastric mucosa. The expression of LRP16 in carcinoma was significantly higher than that in normal mucosa tissues (χ2=14.929, P=0.001). LRP16 protein expression was found in 44.1% (63/143) carcinomas at stage and,and 69.4%(134/193) carcinomas at stage and (χ2=21.804,P=0.001),and in 56.9%(182/320)of cancers without metastasis but 93.8%(15/16)of those with metastasis(χ2=8.543,P=0.003).The expression of LRP16 was correlated with tumor size,infiltrative depth,clinical stage,lymphatic invasion and distant metastasis(all P<0.05). Follow-up data showed that there was a significant difference in median survival time between cancer patients with expression of LRP16 (27.0 mo) and those without (48.0 mo, Log rank=31.644, P=0.001).CONCLUSION: The expression of LRP16 may be associated with invasion, metastasis and prognosis of gastric cancer.展开更多

Cells with down-regulated expression of LRP16 were obtained by a shRNA interference strategy. Insulin content and glucose-stimulated insulin secretion (GSIS) were examined by radioimmunoassay. Western blotting was applied to detect protein expression. Glucose-stimulated sub-cellular localization of PDX-1 was immunocytochemically determined. Cell proliferation and apoptosis were detected by flow cytometry. Our results showed that LRP16 regulated insulin content in MIN6 cells by controlling expression of insulin and insulin transcription factors. LRP16 gene silence in MIN6 cells led to reduced cell proliferation and increased apoptosis. The observation of phosphorylation of serine-473 Akt and the localization of PDX-1 to the nucleus under glucose-stimulation exhibited that LRP16 was a component mediating Akt signaling in MIN6 cells. These results suggest that LRP16 plays a key role in maintaining pancreatic β-cell functions and may help us to understand the protective effects of estrogen on the functions of pancreatic β-cells.展开更多

Aeromonas hydrophila strain L602 was isolated from A. davidianus. The 16S rDNA gene of this isolate was amplified using PCR,and the phylogenetic tree was constructed by the neighbor-joining method. Four virulence genes(aerA,aha1,hly and alt) of A. hydrophila were amplified by PCR and drug resistances were tested using Kirby-Bauer disk diffusion method. The results showed that the length of this 16S rDNA sequence was 1453 bp,which showed 99% homology with A. hydrophila. The GenBank accession number was JX155398. Phylogenetic analysis indicated it grouped together with A. hydrophila. Four virulence genes were all detected,indicating that strain L602 was highly virulent. This stain was resistant to four antibiotics(vibramycin,furazolidone,ampicillin and erythromycin),while it was insensitive to streptomycin. Furthermore,this strain was susceptible to six antibiotics(sulfafurazole,ciprofloxacin,penbritin,norfloxacin,florfenicol and enrofloxacin). This study will help to validate the classification and virulence of pathogenic bacteria in amphibians.展开更多

Although there is evidence demonstrating that inhibition of LRP16 gene expression in MCF-7 human breast cancer cells partially attenuates its estrogen-responsiveness, the underlying molecular mechanism is still unclear. Here, the effect of LRP16 expression on the ERα signaling transduction was investigated. Methods: Cotransfection assays were used to measure the effect of LRP16 on ERα-mediated transcriptional activity. GST-pulldown and immunoprecipitation (ColP) assays were employed to investigate the physical interaction of LRP16 and ERα. The mammalian two-hybrid method was used to map the functional interaction region. Results: the results of cotransfection assays demonstrated that the transcriptional activities of ERα were enhanced in α LRP16 dose-dependent manner in MCF-7 in the presence of estrogen, however, it was abolished in the absence of E2 in MCF-7 cells. The physical interaction of LRP16 and ERα proteins was confirmed by GST-pulldown in vitro and ColP in vivo assays, which was enhanced by E2 but not dependent on its presence. Furthermore, the results of the mammalian two-hybrid assays indicated that the binding region of ERα to LRP16 located at the A/B AF-1 functional domain and E2 stimulated the binding of LRP16 to the full-length ERα molecule but not to the A/B region alone. Conclusion: These results support a role for estrogenically regulated LRP16 as an ERα coactivator, providing a positive feedback regulatory loop for ERα signal transduction. Based on this function of LRP16, we propose that ERα-positive breast cancer patients with high expression of LRP16 might benefit from targeting LRP16 therapy.展开更多

The disease,pathogens of which are supposed to be bacteria by most researchers,is highly infectious and can often cause all individuals in the same culture pool to die in a very short time. The 16S rRNA gene phylogenesis of the culturable bacteria from the lesions of diseased individuals was conducted to study the biodiversity of the bacterial communities in the lesions and to identify probable pathogen(s) associated with this kind of disease. S. japonica samples were selected from a hatchery located in the eastern part of Qingdao,China. Bacterial universal primers GM5F and DS907R were used to amplify the 16S rRNA gene of bacteria colonies,and touchdown PCR was performed to amplify the target sequences. The results suggest that γ-proteobacteria(Alteromonadales and Vibrionales) of CFB group,many strains of which have been also determined as pathogens in other marine species,are the predominant bacterial genera of the diseased Apostichopus japonicus individuals.展开更多

Here, the effects of the LRP16 gene expression on growth of MCF-7 human breast cancer cells and the mechanism were further studied by establishing two stably LRP16-inhibitory MCR-7 cell lines. Methods: Hairpin small interference RNA (siRNA) strategy, by which hairpin siRNA was released by U6 promoter and was mediated by pLPC-based retroviral vector, was adopted to knockdown endogenous LRP16 level in MCF-7 cells. And the hairpin siRNA against green fluorescence protein (GFP) was used as the negative control. The suppressant efficiency of the LRP16 gene expression was confirmed by Nothern blot. Cell proliferation assay and soft agar colony formation assay were used to determine the status of the cells proliferation. Cell cycle checkpoints including cyclin E and cyclin D1 were examined by Western blot. Results: The results from cell proliferation assays suggested that down-regulation of LRP16 gene expression is capable of inhibiting MCF-7 breast cancer cell growth and down-regulation of the LRP16 gene expression is able to inhibit anchorage-independent growth of breast cancer cells in soft agar. We also demonstrated that cyclin E and cyclin D1 proteins were much lower in the LRP16-inhibitory cells than in the control cells. Conclusion: These data suggest that LRP16 gene play an important role in MCF-7 cells proliferation by regulating the pathway of the G1/S transition and may function as an important modulator in regulating the process of tumorigenesis in human breast.展开更多

Methods: Specific antibodies of ERα and Spl were used to precipitate the target DNA/protein complexes of MCF-7 cells at different time points after estrogen treatment (Chromatin immunoprecipitation assay), the promoter region of LRP16 gene was amplified by semi-nested polymerase chain reaction (snPCR). Small interfering RNA (siRNA) against Spl was transiently cotransfected with LRP16-Luc (containing the region from -213bp to -126bp of LRP16 gene promoter)in MCF-7 cells. The luciferase activities were measured by dual-luciferase assay. Results: The results of chromatin immunoprecipitation assay showed that Spl protein directly bound to the -213bp to -126bp region of LRP16 gene, and ERα could enhance the affinity of Spl to DNA. Spl-siRNA specifically decreased the transactivation of LRP16-Luc by 1713-estradio1 to 70-80%. Conclusion: The estrogen-induced transactivation of the human LRP16 gene was mediated by Spl protein. Moreover, the interactions of ERα/Sp1 functional complex with LRP16 promoter DNA were required for enhanced LRP16 gene transactivation.展开更多

A total of 83 Bt strains were isolated from natural substrates, of which 30% were taken from the soil and litter samples, 69.7% from dead insects and about 0.3% from slugs. Serological examination revealed that such subspecies as var. thuringiensis (H-1), var. alesti (H-3), var. sotto (H-4a4b) and var. entomocidus (H-6) predominated in the upper horizon of soils in all climatic zones. In the dead insects such species as subsp. thuringiensis, subsp. galleria, subsp. sotto, subsp. kurstaki, subsp. Aizawai and subsp. Entomocidus dominated. A set of Bt strains isolated from insects and soil samples, selected from different ecosystems in Kyrgyzstan was molecular taxonomically characterized using the pycA gene as marker for phylogenetic reconstruction. Within the Bacillus cereus sensu lato species complex, all Kyrgyz isolates were shown to belong to the B. cereus subspecies thuringiensis. Most isolates were assigned to the lineage Bt tolworthi, with two isolates each belonging to the lineages Bt kurstaki and Bt sotto. A high degree of cry gene diversity was demonstrated in the set of Bt isolates, with several gene copies simultaneously present in a single strain;a particularly conspicuous trait was the frequent combination of Lepidopteran-specific cryI with Dipteran-specific cryIV genes in the same Bt isolate.展开更多

文摘Objective: To investigate the role of Spl as transcription factor required for transactivation of LRP16 gene by estrogen. Methods: Specific antibodies of ERα and Spl were used to precipitate the target DNA/protein complexes of MCF-7 cells at different time points after estrogen treatment (Chromatin immunoprecipitation assay), the promoter region of LRP16 gene was amplified by semi-nested polymerase chain reaction (snPCR). Small interfering RNA (siRNA) against Spl was transiently cotransfected with LRP16-Luc (containing the region from -213bp to -126bp of LRP16 gene promoter)in MCF-7 cells. The luciferase activities were measured by dual-luciferase assay. Results: The results of chromatin immunoprecipitation assay showed that Spl protein directly bound to the -213bp to -126bp region of LRP16 gene, and ERα could enhance the affinity of Spl to DNA. Spl-siRNA specifically decreased the transactivation of LRP16-Luc by 1713-estradio1 to 70-80%. Conclusion: The estrogen-induced transactivation of the human LRP16 gene was mediated by Spl protein. Moreover, the interactions of ERα/Sp1 functional complex with LRP16 promoter DNA were required for enhanced LRP16 gene transactivation.
文摘The present study aims to isolate the unknown and known serotypes of Bacilllus thuringiensis (Bt) from natural objects in Kyrgyzstan. A total of 83 Bt strains were isolated from natural substrates, of which 30% were taken from the soil and litter samples, 69.7% from dead insects and about 0.3% from slugs. Serological examination revealed that such subspecies as var. thuringiensis (H-1), var. alesti (H-3), var. sotto (H-4a4b) and var. entomocidus (H-6) predominated in the upper horizon of soils in all climatic zones. In the dead insects such species as subsp. thuringiensis, subsp. galleria, subsp. sotto, subsp. kurstaki, subsp. Aizawai and subsp. Entomocidus dominated. A set of Bt strains isolated from insects and soil samples, selected from different ecosystems in Kyrgyzstan was molecular taxonomically characterized using the pycA gene as marker for phylogenetic reconstruction. Within the Bacillus cereus sensu lato species complex, all Kyrgyz isolates were shown to belong to the B. cereus subspecies thuringiensis.
