慢性胃炎肠化生CD_(44)、CD_(44V6)及Cyclin D_1、Cyclin E的表达和意义

目的探讨慢性胃炎胃粘膜肠化生CD44、CD44V6及cyclin D1、Cyclin E表达的意义。方法利用免疫细胞化学技术对39例伴有肠化生的慢性胃炎和5例正常人胃窦粘膜的活检组织进行检查。结果正常人胃窦粘膜上皮,腺上皮对CD44、CD44V6、Cyclin D1和Cyclin E均为阴性,但在有神经内分泌样细胞的粘膜,CD44V6和cyclin D1为阳性。慢性胃炎肠化生区和不典型增生区除CD44为阴性外,CD44V6、cyclin D1和cyclin E均呈现不同的阳性反应,但未见有阳性的神经内分泌样细胞。间质细胞大都呈阳性反应。结论CD44V6、cyclin D1和cyclin E可能是胃癌前状态的早期事件,而CD44可能为胃癌晚期的标志物。

High density fermentation and activity of a recombinant lumbrokinase (PI239) from Pichia pastoris

A system for the expression of recombinant lumbrokinase (rPI239) was developed in the yeast Pichia pastoris. A total supernatant protein content of 0.174 g/L of high density fermentation broth was obtained. The rPI239 exhibited in vitro fibrinolytic activity. The in vivo activity of rPI239 was measured by prothrombin time, kaolin part thrombin time, thrombin time, and fibrinolytic activity. This work presents the high-density fermentation of rPI239 from P. pastoris and shows that the recombinant protein has similar fibrinolytic activity both in vivo and in vitro.

A strategy for fusion expression and preparation of functional glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) analogue by introducing an enterokinase cleavage site

KGLP-1, a 31-amino acid glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) analogue, has a great therapeutic potential for anti-diabetes. In this work, a strategy for expression and purification of functional KGLP-1 peptide has been established. KGLP-1 cDNA was fused with glutathione S-transferase (GST), with an enterokinase cleavage site in the fusion junction. The recombinant fusion protein GST–KGLP-1 was affinity purified via the GST-tag, and then digested with enterokinase. The resulting GST part as well as the enzymes were eliminated by ultra-filtration followed by size exclusion chromatograph. The yield of purified KGLP-1 was approximately 12.1 mg/L, with purity of 96.18 %. The recombinant KGLP-1 was shown to have similar bioactivity as native GLP-1 when evaluated in a Chinese hamster ovary cell line expressing a GLP-1 receptor-egfp reporter gene.     

A Bipartite Network-based Method for Prediction of Long Non-coding RNA–protein Interactions

As one large class of non-coding RNAs(nc RNAs), long nc RNAs(lncRNAs) have gained considerable attention in recent years. Mutations and dysfunction of lnc RNAs have been implicated in human disorders. Many lnc RNAs exert their effects through interactions with the corresponding RNA-binding proteins. Several computational approaches have been developed, but only few are able to perform the prediction of these interactions from a network-based point of view. Here,we introduce a computational method named lnc RNA–protein bipartite network inference(LPBNI). LPBNI aims to identify potential lnc RNA–interacting proteins, by making full use of the known lnc RNA–protein interactions. Leave-one-out cross validation(LOOCV) test shows that LPBNI significantly outperforms other network-based methods, including random walk(RWR)and protein-based collaborative filtering(Pro CF). Furthermore, a case study was performed to demonstrate the performance of LPBNI using real data in predicting potential lnc RNA–interacting proteins.

Antibod-ies have been proved to be a powerful tool fOr thestudy of 1ung cancer. A monoclonal IgM antibody,LC-1, was obtained in our laboratory. It can reactat a high rate with all four pathological types of lungcancers, including lung adenocarcinoma, 1ung squamous carcinoma, large cell lung cancer and smaIlcell lung cancert but not wit…     

The intrinsic mechanisms underlying the maturation of programming sequential spikes at cerebellar Purkinje cells

Cerebellum is involved in the motion coordination and working memory, to which the programming of sequential spikes at Purkinje cells is essential. It is not clear about the intrinsic mechanisms underlying spike capacity and timing precision as well as their postnatal maturation. We investigated the programming and intrinsic property of sequential spikes at Purkinje neurons during postnatal development by whole-cell recording in cerebellar slices. Cerebellar Purkinje neurons demonstrate the increasing of spike capacity and timing precision, as well as the lowering of refractory periods and threshold potentials during the postnatal maturation. In addition, the correlation between spike parameters and intrinsic properties converts to be more linear. This postnatal plasticity of neuronal intrinsic properties improves the timing precision and capacity of spike programming at cerebellar Purkinje neurons.
