RESUMO
miR-30b, which is encoded by the gene located on chromosome 8q24.22, plays an important role in a variety of diseases. In most types of tumors, miR-30b significantly inhibits the proliferation, migration, and invasion of cancer cells through the regulation of target genes. Moreover, miR-30b can inhibit the PI3K/AKT signaling pathway through the regulation of EGFR, AKT, Derlin-1, GNA13, SIX1, and other target genes, thus inhibiting the EMT process of tumor cells and promoting apoptosis. In addition, miR-30 plays a significant role in alleviating drug resistance in tumor cells. Although the use of miR-30b as a clinical diagnostic indicator or anticancer drug is still facing great difficulties in the short term, with the deepening of research, the potential application of miR-30b is emerging.
RESUMO
OBJECTIVE: To study the lipids reducing property of curcumin on Hyperlipidemia mice after fermented by Monascus purureus. METHODS: The stain Monascus purureus was used for microbial transformation, and both substrate control and strain control were set. The mice were reared with high lipid and cholesterol feed for 15d to establish the Hyperlipidemia models. The models were treated with fermented curcumin in 500 mg/kg, 200 mg/kg, 100 mg/kg, substrate control and strain control in 500 mg/kg. Positive and Normal group were treated with natural saline. The general situation was observed and the changes of TG, TC, HDL-C levels in serum and liver were tested after 10 d. RESULTS: Fermented curcumin could significantly reduce the serum TC, TG of Hyperlipidemia mice all in high, middle and low doses. Serum TC was reduced by 38.7%, 34.5%, 32.7% and TG was reduced by 38.3%, 28.6%, 30.1%, respectively while substrate control and strain control had no effect. Fermented curcumin also could reduce the TC, TG in liver but no effect of curcumin substrate at the same dose. CONCLUSION: The property of lipids reducing of curcumin is significantly enhanced after fermentation.

OBJECTIVE: To study the fungi isolated from Cordyceps sobolifera and its fermentation culture. METHODS: The fungi was isolated and identified by its hypha and spores. Three liquid media were used in the culture. RESULTS: Pure culture was gained and the fungi was identified to be Paecilomyces cicadae. The fungi can grow best in liquid media: egg 110 g + silkworm powder 30 g + VB1 2 tahlets + MgSO4 x 7H2O 0.5 g + K2HPO4 1 g + H2O 1000 ml, in which every litre can produce 135 g wet hypha after cultured 4 d. CONCLUSION: Paecilomyces cicadae from Cordyceps sobolifera can be cultured in liquid media.

OBJECTIVE: To study on the relationship between the endophyte and the life cycle of Ophiopogon japonicus in Zhejiang. METHODS: Sample roots of Ophiopogon japonicus at different growth stages were thoroughly washed and cut into small fragments, then cleared (removing cytoplasmic contents from cells) using hot 10% KOH and stained with acid fuchsin (alternative stain). The hyphae, the arbuscular and the vesicular of endophyte were examined. RESULTS: The hyphae appeared and grew in the seedling stage, the hyphae grew into arbuscular in the root tuber generating stage and vesicular in the stage of root tuber expanding period. CONCLUSION: The endophytes in Ophiopogon japonicus appeared in forms of hyphae, arbuscular and vesicular at different growth stages to meet the needs of Ophiopogon japonicus developing.
