RESUMEN
Objective The inhibitory effect of the PARP inhibitor olaparib on human acute myeloid leukemia HL-60 cells was studied. Methods The HL-60 cells in logarithmic growth phase were treated with different concentrations(1. 25,2. 5,5 and 10 μmol/L) of olaparib for different time. The CCK-8 assay was used to detect the inhibitory effect of olaparib on HL-60 cells. The apoptotic level of HL-60 cells was detected by Annexin-V/PI double staining method,and the expression of related signal proteins ( PARP-1 and caspase-3)in HL-60 cells was detected by Western blot. Results HL-60 cells were inhibited by olaparib at dif-ferent concentrations(1. 25,2. 5,5 and 10 μmol/L) for 48 h,and the inhibition rate gradually increased with the prolongation of the action time;at the same time,the apoptotic rate was increased in HL-60 cells after olaparib treatment for 48 h,showing a dose-de-pendent manner;the PARP activity was inhibited and caspase-3 was activated in HL-60 cells treated with olaparib. Conclusion The PARP inhibitor olaparib not only inhibits proliferation of HL-60 cells,but it also promotes apoptosis of HL-60 cells by inhibi-ting PARP activity and activating caspase-3.

None of them experienced infection relapse, and they were all satisfied with the appearance of the cervical incision.@*Conclusions@#Cervical double parallel incision combined with mediastinoscope or thoracoscope for the treatment of CNF accompanied with DNM has the advantages of complete drainage, small trauma, excellent efficacy and aesthetic operative area, thus being deserved to be clinically popularized.
RESUMEN
Objective To analyze the use of social media at 60 tertiary stomatological hospitals in China, for references of operational management and development of these hospitals. Methods Web crawler technology was used to collect information of 60 stomatological hospitals, covering the number of treatment chairs, staff headcount and annual outpatients. The study also covered the Wechat official account information( when it was openly accessible, menu bar function and original articles), and the WeChat official account information( WCI value, total Pviews of articles, number of thumbs up, and top ten high-frequency words)as found in gsdata. cn, and Sina Weibo information( when it was openly assessable, latest release time, total Weibo accounts, number of online attentions, number of fans, number of forwards, number of comments, number of thumbs up, and Weibo texts), as well as information on Haodaifu website (total visits, patients served, and doctors having their own personal websites). These information were subject to descriptive and quantitative analysis. Results 98.3% ( 59/60 ) of the hospitals possess one account at least, the usage rate of WeChat (58/60, 96.7% ) and Haodaifu online (56/60, 93.3% ) are significantly higher than Sina Weibo ( 26/60, 43.3% ), with regional differences existing. Appointment registrations are the main function of the menu bar of WeChat. Obvious difference is found among operation effects of Sina Weibo, as only 13 hospitals are still in good maintenance of their accounts. High relevance is also found between Haodaifu website and the two other social media platforms. Conclusions Hospital scale has a huge impact on the use of social media. Stomatological hospitals in China should highlight their own characteristics based on their strength, focus on their operation and management to improve the utilization rate, and pay attention to the relevance between various platforms.

Objective To investigate the effect of decitabine (DAC) on human acute myeloid leukemia (AML) cell line HL-60 and the regulating of natural killer (NK) cell activating receptor (NKG2D) ligands(NKG2DL), and to detect the molecular mechanism of JAK-STAT3-SOCS signaling pathway. Methods The effect of DAC on the proliferation of HL-60 was detected by using CCK-8 assay. The cell apoptosis was analyzed by using Annexin-V/PI double standard method. The expressions of receptor NKG2DL including MICA/B and ULBPs in HL-60 cells were detected by using flow cytometry (FCM). The killing activity of NK cells was analyzed by using carboxy fluorescein diacetate succinimidyl ester (CFSE). The expressions of JAK/STAT3 signaling pathway or molecules including STAT3, its upstream kinases JAK1, JAK2 and the negative regulator of STAT3,SOCS-1,SOCS-3 were examined by Western blot.Methylation level of the SOCS-1,SOCS-3 gene after the treatment of DAC was analyzed by using methylation-sensitive high resolution melting(MS-HRM). Results There was an obvious inhibitory effect of DAC on HL-60 cells. The cell viability of HL-60 treated with 0.2, 0.5, and 1.0 μmol/L DAC for 48 h was decreased by (25±11) %, (39±8) % and (50±7)%(P<0.01)respectively compared with those cells without DAC treatment.The incidence of apoptosis was (24.77±7.50) %, (27.10±4.48) % and (30.53±3.93) % after DAC treatment for 48h respectively, which were higher than that of untreated cells[(3.11±0.50)%](P<0.01).DAC induced a significant up-regulation of MICA/B, ULBP-1, ULBP-3 in HL-60 cells, and enhanced the sensitivity of HL-60 cells to NK cytotoxicity. Western blot results showed that a down-regulating expression of STAT3 and JAK1, JAK2 protein was detected, in addition to the phosphor-STAT3 and phosphor-JAKs in HL-60 cells after DAC treatment, but the expressions of SOCS-1 and SOCS-3 protein were increased. HRM results showed that DAC could inhibit the methylation of SOCS-3 gene. Conclusion DAC can inhibit the proliferation of HL-60 cells, upregulate the expression of NKG2DL and enhance the cytotoxicity of NK targeted to HL-60 cells, which might be related to the activity regulation of intracellular JAK-STAT3-SOCS signaling pathway.

RESUMEN
<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To investigate the molecular mechanism of the growth inhibitory effect of matrine on K562 cells in JAK/STAT3 mediated signal pathway.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>Western blot analyses were performed to investigate the differential expression of JAK2, STAT3, phosphor-STAT3 (Tyr705 & Ser727) and phosphor-JAK2 proteins after matrine treatment in K562 cells with or without human recombinant interleukin 6 (IL-6) pretreatment. The expression of STAT3 response gene products such as Bcl-xL, Cyclin D1 and c-Myc, were investigated by Western blot and quantitative real time RT-PCR (qRT-PCR). Expression of IL-6, a potent upstream activating factor of JAK/STAT3 pathway, was analyzed by both real time qRT-PCR and ELISA.</p><p><b>RESUTLS</b>Western blot revealed that matrine treatment resulted in a strong down-regulation of phosphor-STAT3 both in Tyr705 and Ser727 sites or phosphor-JAK2 proteins expression without significant effects on the total STAT3 and JAK2 proteins. The expression of phosphor-Tyr705 STAT3 and phosphor-Ser727 STAT3 was decreased to 0.370 ± 0.172 in K562 cells treated with 0.5 mg/ml matrine for 48 h, respectively, from 0.690 ± 0.119 and 1.150 ± 0.263 in control cells, accompanied with a dramatical down-regulation of phosphor-JAK2 from 0.670 ± 0.137 to 0.049 ± 0.057 (P<0.05). In addition, it was found that the expression of Bcl-xL, Cyclin D1, c-Myc was decreased both at the transcription and protein level in K562 cells after matrine treatment. Matrine treatment resulted in a significant decrease in the expression level of IL-6 in K562 cells from (35.1 ± 1.93) to (10.74 ± 1.83) and (8.66 ± 1.24) pg/ml at the dose of 0.5 and 0.8 mg/ml, respectively (p<0.05). Matrine treatment could diminish the up-regulation of STAT3, JAK2, phosphor-STAT3 and phosphor-JAK2 protein following pretreatment with IL-6 in K562 cells.</p><p><b>CONCLUSION</b>Matrine exerts its anti-leukemia effect by interfering with the JAK2/STAT3 signaling pathway. The inhibition of IL-6 expression may play a pivotal role in the disruption of JAK/STAT pathway by matrine.</p>

Objective To investigate the mechanism of matrine in inhibition of proliferation the proliferation of human chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) K562 cells via MEK-ERK signaling pathway. Methods Western blot was used to detect the expression of MEK1, ERK1/2, Shc and SHP2 (the signal effect molecules of MEK-ERK pathway) in K562 cells. The transcription and translation of bcr-abl and target protein (bcl-xL, Cyclin D1, c-myc and p27) were detected by RT-PCR and Western blot. Results Matrine was able to significantly inhibit the phosphorylation of MEK1, ERK1/2, Shc and SHP2 in K562 cells and suppress the protein and mRNA expression of bcr-abl. Moreover, the expressions of bcl-xL, Cyclin D1 and c-myc were down-regulated significantly, while the expression level of p27 (a negative regulator of cell cycle progression) was increased markedly after matrine treatment. Conclusions Suppression of the growth of human CML K562 cells is related to the inhibition of bcr-abl-mediated MEK-ERK pathway activity. The down-regulation of phosphorylated proteins or protein kinases activity in signaling pathways might be an important molecular mechanism in control the activity of MEK-ERK pathway.
RESUMEN
<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To probe matrine acting on natural killer cell (NK) activating receptor NKG2D ligands expression in CML cell line K562 and its underlying molecular mechanism.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>The expression of NKG2D ligands (major histocompatibility complex class I chain-related molecule A or B (MICA/B), UL16-binding proteins (ULBP) 1, 2, and 3 on K562 cells were analyzed before and after treated with matrine by FCM. The cytotoxic sensitivity of K562 to NK cell was detected by FCM after CFSE staining at different effect-to-target (E/T) cell ratios. The expression of signal transduction and transcriptional activator 3 (STAT3) protein as well as phosphorylated STAT3 (p-STAT3) were detected by western blot.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>After treatment with matrine, ULBP1 and ULBP2 expression, especially ULBP2 on K562 cells significantly increased, with mean fluorescence intensity (MFI) increasing to 615 and 1614 by 220 and 615 in the untreated cells, respectively. There was no significant change for MICA or ULBP3 expression. Matrine enhanced the susceptibility of K562 cells to NK-mediated cell lysis. At the ratio of E/T with 5:1, the proportion of the killed K562 cells increased to 32.8%, 38.1% and 40.5%, respectively (after 0.2, 0.5 and 0.8 mg/ml matrine treatment) by 29.2% in the untreated cells. The phosphorylated STAT3 protein, but not STAT3 protein, was significantly inhibited by matrine treatment in K562 cells.</p><p><b>CONCLUSION</b>Matrine induced the expression of NKG2D ligands in K562cells and enhanced the cytotoxicity of NK cells against K562, which was closely related to the inhibition of STAT3 activity in K562 cell.</p>
