    Abstract: Objective Aberrant DNA methylation of CpG site is among the earliest and most frequent alterations in cancer. The aim of this study was to study whether phenylhexyl isothiocyanate can reduce the methylation level of P16 gene. This study used a microarray-based method for quantificationally detecting changes of P16 gene methylation in leukemia patient and U266 cell line. And to simply discuss the effect of phenylhexyl isothiocyanate on tumor methylation. Methods This method used bisulfite-modified DNA as a template for PCR amplification, resulting in conversion of unmethylated cytosine, but not methylated cytosine, into thymine within CpG islands of interest. One set of oligonucleotide probes were designed to fabricate a DNA microarray to detect the methylation changes of P16 gene CpG islands. Each set contained a pair of methylated and unmethylated oligonucleotides for interrogating 3 CpG sites in close proximity. By TA cloning, PCR, sequencing, positive and negative DNA targets were required. Next drawing a standard curve by fluorescence intensity. Leukemia samples DNA were abstracted and bisulfite-modified. Sample DNA targets were required by PCR amplification and were hybridized with the microarry. Finally the microarry was scanned with ScanArray Lite microarray analysis systems. Results The linear relationship (R2=0.9660) was established and it could be used to eliminate background noise. The methylation level of U266 is hypermethylation, after cultured with PHI, the level reduce. Eleven patients have P16 gene hypermethylation in thrity. After culture with PHI, seven patients showed level reduce, one patient showed raise, three patients showed remaining. Conclusion PHI can reduce the methylation level of P16 gene in U266 cell line, and also can reduce the methylation level of P16 gene of leukemia patient samples in vitro culture.

    Abstract: Objective: To investigate the effect of 6-phenylhexyl isothiocyanate (PHI) on drug resistance and sensitivity on K562/A02 cell line to ADM and elucidate the probable mechanisms. Methods: We measured growth inhibition of ADM on K562/A02 cell line by MTT assay. Apoptosis rate of K562/A02 cell line, the change of intracellular ADM and MRP1 protein level were detected by Flow Cytometry. Intracellular deoxidized GSH by spectrometric enzyme assay and MRP1 mRNA by RT-PCR semiquantitative assay were observed anteroposterior using PHI. Results: PHI can enhance the sensitivity of K562/A02 cell line to ADM, survival rate of K562/A02 cell line decreased with the increasing concentration of PHI and ADM. Apoptosis rate increased with treating by combination of two above drugs, and multiple of drug resistance had statistical significance (P & lt;0.05) when the concentration of PHI was more than 20μmol/l. Intracellular GSH of K562/A02 cell line reduced 5% when 1μg/ml ADM was single used, and when more than 10μmol/l PHI was used it increased slightly at first then decreased. When more than 20μmol/l PHI and 1μg/ml ADM were used combination, intracellular GSH of K562/A02 cell line decreased progressively with increasing the concentration of PHI. Protein and gene level of MRP1 have no statistical significance (P & gt;0.05) no matter after or before PHI was used on different concentration. Conlusion: The depletion effect of PHI on the intracellular GSH can not only partly enhance the reverse effect of ADM, but also enhance the sensitivity of K562/A02 cell line to ADM. Such depletion may diminish side effect and treatment dosage of ADM. It provides a new view to the therapy of leukaemia.

    Abstract: Objective: The changes of methylation of CpG Island are the frequent changes in epigenetic. Nowadays, there are many methods to detect the changes of methylation, but all these method are hard to quantitate precisely. In our experiment, we will establish a new precise method. Methods: Use hydrosulfite to handle the DNA, and then do PCR. The cytosine will change to thymine, if it hasn’t been methylation. On the other side, the cytosine will maintain its state if it has been methylation. Design a pair of probe, which contain one methylation probe and one un methylation probe. This pair of probe will detect three consecutive sites of CpG island in P16. Our experiment will use gene chip. Mix the the DNA of methylation and unmethylation with different ratio, then build the standard curve. Contrast the patient sample with standard curve will get the quantitate result. Results: We detected three patients, the methylation degree of the patients is 84.3%, 0%, 17.7%. Conclusion: The method we used can detect methylation degree of three consecutive sites of P16 quantitate precisely. Solve the problem of quantitate precisely.

    Abstract: Lipopolysaccsharide (LPS) is a principal outer membrane component of gram-negative bacteria. It initiates an inflammatory response to infection by activating Toll-like receptor-4 (TLR4) in host. Infection increases risk for hemostasis, thrombosis, DIC, and tissue repair. Platelet contributes to the inflammation process through respond to invading pathogens, membrane adhesion molecule (P-selectin) is one of the indexes to determine platelet activation. Experiment was designed to study whether TLR4 is expressed on human platelet, and what is the function of TLR4 in platelet activation induced with LPS. Platelet suspensions from 10 heath people were treated with LPS of different concentrations for 1 hour, which were 0mg/L(control),0.1mg/L,0.5mg/L,1mg/L and 5mg/L, respectively. The expressions of TLR4, P-select on platelets and PAI-1 in platelets were detected through flow cytometry (FCM) and western blot(WB) methods. ADP-induced platelet aggregation was measured by LG-PABER aggregometer. Compared with control, the expressions of TLR4,P-selectin on platelets and PAI-1 in platelets after treated with LPS of 0.5mg/L,1mg/L and 5mg/L were increased (P & lt;0.05). positive correlation was observed between TLR4 and P-selectin on platelets, but between TLR4 and PAI-1 in platelets. LPS of all concentrations did not affected ADP-induced platelet aggregation. Therefore, it is evident that functional TLR4 is expressed on human platelet. TLR4 on platelet might be one of the important intermedia between platelet activation and LPS or bacteria, and contribute to the inflammatory process in host. It is also worthy to study whether LPS affect platelet aggregation induced by other inductors.

    Abstract: Serious complications and mortality after cardiac surgery are increased when transfused red cells are stored for more than 2 weeks (Koch, N Engl J Med. 2008). However, the mechanism remains unclear and the relationship of procoagulant activity to PS exposure on banked RBCs has not been clarified, although prior studies suggest that banked cells went to apoptosis. Procoagulant activity of RBCs was measured in a modified prothrombin time in which RBCs replaced thromboplastin. The presence of PS in neutrophils and mononuclear cells from healthy donors and banked RBCs was investigated by flow-cytomety and confocal microscopy. The assembly of extrinsic tenase, intrinsic tenase, and prothrombinase complexes on these cells was studied using enzymatic assays employing plasma or purified proteins. Lactadherin, a glycoprotein, was utilized as a probe to track PS exposure and as an agent to block exposed PS. Coagulant activity increased approx 5-fold after cells were banked for 14 days and progressively increases. The percent of phosphatidylserine (PS)-positive cells increased from 7.4% on day 14 to 30% on day 42. RBCs with exposed PS were nearly absent in samples at 7 days but readily evident at 14 days on confocal microscopy. Banked RBCs exhibited patched, a rim, and diffuse-pattern that stained with lactadherin but neutrophils and MNC did not, indicating more PS exposure on banked RBCs from 7 days than the other two cell types. These data reveal a positive correlation between PCA and PS exposure on stored RBCs. Inhibition of PCA by lactadherin further confirms that PS supports the PCA in stored RBCs. Thus, we propose the possible role of PCA due to increased PS exposure on aged RBCs as a potential pathogenetic factor leading to organ injury, aggravated infections and finally higher mortality.

    Abstract: Amniotic fluid (AF) may induce disseminated intravascular coagulation when it enters maternal circulation by breaching the placental-maternal circulation barrier. The precise mechanism of the procoagulant activity of AF is unclear, we speculate that AF cells have procoagulant activity due to the externalization of phosphatidylserine (PS). The present study aims to demonstrate that, in addition to tissue factor (TF), the PS that is externalized on AF cells is important for the procoagulant activity of AF. Ten AF samples from parturient women were analyzed and normal platelets, neutrophils, and lymphocytes were harvested as controls. Lactadherin, a glycoprotein, binds to membranes containing PS, inhibits prothrombinase activity, factor Xase activity, and tissue factor-factor VIIa activity by blocking PS-containing membrane binding. Thus lactadherin was utilized as a PS probe for flow cytometry and confocal microscopy to enable comparison of PS distribution with TF and intrinsic factor Xase complex formation. Procoagulant activity of AF cells was first measured in plasma with AF cells serving as thromboplastin. Activity of AF cells supporting intrinsic and extrinsic factor Xase complexes was measured in purified systems. Lactadherin, as an agent to block exposed PS, inhibited 85% of intrinsic and extrinsic factor Xase activity. Competition binding studies indicated that lactadherin competed for 55% of factor VIII binding sites. However, binding of factor VIII was completely inhibited by PS-containing vesicles and by mAb that recognize the factor VIII C2 domain indicating that all fVIII binding was mediated by the membrane-binding motif or an overlapping epitope. Confocal microscopy identified patches and a rim-pattern indicating a diffuse PS exposure. Lactadherin binding sites and TF distributed to discreet, but overlapping regions of the cells. These results indicate that PS exposure parallels procoagulant activity on AF cells and is required for at least 85% of intrinsic and extrinsic factor Xase activities. However, the topographical pattern of PS exposure differs from the pattern of TF and the pattern of binding site distribution for intrinsic factor Xase complexes. Thus, the results imply that intrinsic factor Xase and extrinsic factor Xase activity are localized to small cell regions where PS exposure coincides with TF and intrinsic factor Xase binding sites, respectively.

    Abstract: Early diagnosis and treatment of patients with sepsis remain a common and severe problem, especially in leukopenic patients.. Toll-like receptor-4 (TLR4) plays a crucial role in immunity as the first defenses system against microbial infection through binding gram-negative bacterial LPS. Blood platelets are not only involved in hemostasis, they also have many features of classic inflammatory cells. The expression of TLR4 on platelet in patients with sepsis, including gram-positive bacteria and gram-negative bacteria, is not known. Studying the differences between them, we investigated whether the expressions of TLR4 on platelet were associated with platelet activation, serum TNF-a and endotoxin levels in patients with sepsis, 8 patients of them with gram-positive bacteria and 15 patients of them with gram-negative bacteria. The number of platelet and function of coagulation were normal before infecting. Comparing with the heath subjects, the expressions of TLR4 and P-selectin on platelets, the levels of serum TNF-a and endotoxin were higher (P & lt;0.05),and there was a positive correlation was observed between TLR4 and P-selectin, TNF-a, endotoxin respectively, among the gram-negative bacterial subjects. The phenomena were not found among the gram-positive bacterial subjects. In addition, among the gram-negative bacterial subjects, the expression of TLR4 was higher in patients with decreased number of platelets than with normal number of platelets. These results suggest that increased TLR4 on platelet might be an important early sign of gram-negative bacteria in patient with sepsis, it contributes to platelet activating, the inflammatory process and disease activity in infecting host. Above has be doing in more patients with positive blood bacteria culture in our Lab.
