Natural Killer （NK） cells are another type of anti-tumor immune cells with promising clinical application in addition to T cells. NK cell activity is mainly regulated by its surface receptors and immune microenvironment. The strong immunosuppressive microenvironment of glioma results in low efficiency of NK cell immunotherapy. This article reviews NK cells in the immunotherapy for glioma from the interaction of glioma-NK cell， and the latest research progress of targeted NK cells compounds， monoclonal antibody， and cytokine therapy， focusing on the genetic modification of NK cells in the present situation and trend of glioma immunotherapy， and molecular mechanism of glioma cells related to immune escape. We hope this article will provide theoretical basis and new ideas for NK cell-based immunotherapy of glioma.

Objective To investigate the effects of Rac1 gene silencing on cell cycle and apoptosis of Daoy cell line in medulloblastoma. Methods Daoy cells were divided into Rac1-shRNA group and empty plasmid control group; Daoy cells in the former group were transfected by using Rac1-shRNA plasmid (Rac1-shRNA). RT-PCR, Western blotting and flow cytometry were used to observe the changes of cycle and apoptosis of Daoy cells after Rac1 gene silencing. Results Rac1 mRNA and protein in medulloblastoma Daoy cell lines were highly expressed; cell cycle of Daoy cells with Rac1 gene silencing were blocked at G0-G1 phases and cell percentage of G0-G1 phases significantly increased to 80.9%±4.9%; however, the proportion of cells in the S phase reduced to 11.8%± 2.3%. The apoptosis rate of Rac1-shRNA plasmid group (36.7%±3.9%) was significantly different as compared with that of empty plasmid control group (8.5% ±0.9%) (P<0.05). Conclusion RNA-interfered Rac1 gene silencing can inhibit the proliferation of Daoy cells and promote their apoptosis, indicating that Rac1 may become a new target being able to inhibit the cell proliferation and promote the apoptosis of Daoy cells in medulloblastoma.

Objective To investigate the expressions of interleukin-8 (IL-8) mRNA and proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA) protein in astrocytic tumors and their correlation with the tumor cell apoptosis. Methods The expressions of IL-8 mRNA in 64 cases of astrocytic tumor and 10 normal brain tissues were detected using RT-PCR. The expression of PCNA protein in the tumors was assayed with immunohistochemistry, and the apoptosis index (AI) of the tumor cells determined using TUNEL assay. Results The expression ofIL-8 mRNA in the astrocytic tumors was strongly correlated to the malignancy of the tumors, and both the PCNA expression and the apoptosis index increased in tumors of greater malignancies. IL-8 mRNA expression was positively correlated to the expression of PCNA (r=0.938, P<0.01) and AI (r=0.907, P<0.01) in these tumors. Conclusion IL-8 mRNA expression is positively correlated to the histological grade of the astrocytic tumors, whose proliferation is mediated by inhibition of cell apoptosis and upregulation of IL-8 transcription.

<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To study the effects of Arbuscular Mycorrhizae on cultivated Atractylodes lancea.</p><p><b>METHOD</b>Pot experiment of A. lancea, with (code as AM) or without (code as CK) Glomus mosseae (GM) was conducted 5 times respectively, then the biomass, essential oil, and soil nutrition, soil organism, soil microbial were detected after A. lancea were harvested.</p><p><b>RESULT</b>(1) Mycorrhizal dependency of A. lancea was 245%, and height of individuals, numbers of leaves, leaf area, biomass of A. lancea were all higher in AM than in CK (P < 0.05). (2) GC-MS analysis with cluster analysis and principal components analysis showed that there were no differences in essential oil of A. lancea between AM and CK. (T3) Total N, available N, available P and available K in AM soil were all lower than in CK soil. (4) GC-MS analysis showed organic matters changed differenly in AM soil and CK soil, components 5,6 in AM soil were higher than that in CK soil, but component 9, 10, 11 were lower in AM soil than that in CK soil. (5) Biolog detect showed AWCD of AM soil microbe were higher than that of CK soil throughout the incubation, and AWCD of the former was 0.66, and the later was 0.46 after 192 h incubation. and t-test showed, Shannon seven indices and McIntosh'seven indices were same both at 72 h and 192 h, and diversity indices of Shannon and McIntosh were also same at 72 h, but AM soil microbe were higher than CK soil microbe at 168 h (P < 0.05).</p><p><b>CONCLUSION</b>AM could promote nutrition uptake, improve the function diversity and activity of microbe in rhizosphere of A. lancea, influence the composition of the organic matter, that lead the growth of A. lancea, but not to the quality.</p>
