RESUMO
Objective To investigate the effects of long noncoding RNA(lncRNA)-NRON on apoptosis following myocardial infarc-tion(MI)in mice.Methods The C57BL/6 mice were randomly divided into four groups:sham operation(Sham)group,MI group,MI combined with lncRNA-NRON interference lentivirus(MI+shNRON)group,and MI combined with the negative control(NC)lentivirus(MI+NC)group.The expression of lncRNA-NRON was detected using real-time PCR.In addition,the pathology of the myocardial tissue injury was analyzed using HE staining,the myocardial infarction size was examined using TTC staining,and the extent of apoptosis was assessed using the TUNEL assay,respectively.The RPISeq database was used to predict the probability of interaction between lncR-NA-NRON and the voltage-dependent anionic channel protein(VDAC).The effect of lncRNA-NRON on the expression of VDAC protein was detected using Western blotting.Results The lncRNA-NRON expression was significantly increased in the MI group,and the tar-geted knockdown of lncRNA-NRON resulted in alleviation of the pathological myocardial tissue injury,reduction in the myocardial infarc-tion area,and inhibition of apoptosis.The probability of interaction between lncRNA-NRON and VDAC reached 0.9,indicating a high probability of their association.Additionally,lncRNA-NRON could regulate the protein expression of VDAC.Conclusion Knockdown of lncRNA-NRON could reduce the occurrence of myocardial injury following myocardial infarction.This effect may be attributable to a spe-cific mechanism wherein lncRNA-NRON affects the process of apoptosis by binding to VDAC,consequently suppressing its expression.

RESUMO
<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To evaluate and explore the effects of 20(S)-ginsenoside Rh2 and 20(R)-ginsenoside Rh2 on the cytotoxicity, proliferation and the apoptosis of human lung adenocarcinoma A549 cells, and to illustrate the structure-activity relationship and possible mechanisms of anti-tumor active ingredients of ginseng.</p><p><b>METHOD</b>A549 cells were treated with different concentration gradient of ginsenoside Rh2 (S and R structure) and incubated for different time. Cell proliferation and cytotoxicity studies were detected by methyl thiazolyl tetrazolium (MTT) colorimetric assay, cell cycle and apoptotic was analyzed by PI stains and combination of Annexin V/Prop idium iodide double staining with flow cytometric analysis. The influences of activation on Caspase-3 were also detected by the immunofluorescence staining with fluorescence microscope.</p><p><b>RESULT</b>MTT test indicated that ginsenoside Rh2 had a strong cytotoxicity activity to A549 cells. Ginsenoside Rh2 could obviously inhibit the cell proliferation in human lung adenocarcinoma cell line A549 at the effective doses of 25 mg x L(-1) treated with 48 h. The inhibition ratio and the value of IC50 for48 h of 20(R)-Rh2 and 20(S)-Rh2 were respectively 28.5%, 33.6% and 33.4, 28.5 mg x L(-1). The inhibition of ginsenoside Rh2 to A549 showed structure relationship significantly, time-dependent and concentration-dependent. Flow cytometric analysis (FACS) with PI stains analysis results showed that the proportion of A549 cells in G1 phase increased, while the number of cells in S phase decreased significantly and those in G2 phase reduced slightly. This result indicated structure relationship significantly, especially in the 20(S) -ginsenoside Rh2 inhibited the proliferation of A549 cell dramatically and retarded A549 cell cycle at G0/G1 phase. The immunofluorescent of combination with Annexin VFITC/PI by flow cytometric suggested ginsenoside Rh2 can induce inchoate apoptsis rate and late apoptosis rate of A549 cell significantly. All the results showed structure relationship significantly, especially in the 20(S)-ginsenoside Rh2. The immunofluorescent with fluorescence microscope suggested the activity of Caspase-3 were enhanced after ginsenoside Rh2 treated.</p><p><b>CONCLUSION</b>20 (R) and 20(S)-ginsenoside Rh2 had a significant inhibitory effect on the proliferation. Compared with 20(S)-ginsenoside Rh2, 20 (S)-ginsenoside Rh2 has been shown to have significant anticancer effects and to be capable of blocking cell proliferation and causing G1 phase arrest in human lung adenocarcinoma A549 cells. 20 (R) and 20(S)-ginsenoside Rh2 have been shown to have anticancer effects and to be capable of increasing inchoate apoptotic rate, reducing apoptotic rate significantly, enhancing the activity of Caspase-3 and inducing apoptosis in human lung adenocarcinoma A549 cells.</p>

Objective To observe how geniposide as an anti-inflammatory agent through inhibition Toll-like receptor 7/nuclear factor-κB signaling pathways activation, as well as TNF-α and IL-6 release infectioned by influenza virus. Methods Epithelial cells was exposed to human influenza viruses A/Gui/81/23(H3N2) infection for 2 h before treatment with geniposide for 24 h. NF-κB responsive element luciferase reportor gene was transfected and dual luciferase cis-reporting systems was used to assay the transcriptional activity of NF-κB under the stimulated circumstance of influenza virus infection. The phosphory level and nuclear transposition of NF-κB was observed by fluorescence inverted microscope. RT-PCR was used to detect the gene transcription level of TLR7, TNF-α and IL-6. Results The relative luciferase reporter assay of NF-κB was apparently improved by influenza virus infection. But geniposide significantly repressed the relative value of luciferase. The phosphorylation level and rate for nuclear transposition of NF-κB was apparently improved by influenza A virus infection observed by fluorescence inverted microscope. But geniposide significantly repressed the phosphorylation level and rate for nuclear transposition. RT-PCR showed upregulation of TLR7 and pre-inflammatory markers TNF-α and IL-6 in A549 cells infected by influenza virus, geniposide had a significant effect on the expression of TLR7 and inflammatory markers TNF-α and IL-6 after treated with influenza virus. Conclusion Geniposide as an antiinflammatory agent antagonized influenza A virus infection through inhibiting Toll-like receptor 7/nuclear factor-κB signaling pathways activation, as well as on the downregulation of the downstream inflammatory markers target gene expression TNF-α and IL-6.
RESUMO
Objective:To observe the influence of ginsenoside Rg1 on transcriptional activation of NF-κB induced by hydrogen peroxide (H_2O_2) in 293T cell,and probe into the antioxidant mechanism of ginsenoside Rg1.Methods:In the experiment,cells was exposed to H_2O_2 after pretreatment with Rg1,cell proliferation and cytotoxicity studies were detected by MTT and Trypan blue.The quantities of generation of intracellular reactive oxygen species (iROS) was analyzed by flow cytometric analysis measured with fluorescent probe 2,7-dichlorofluorescin diacetate (DCFH-DA).NF-κB-responsive element-luciferase reporter gene was transfected and dual-luciferase cis-reporting systems were used to assay the transcriptional activity of NF-κB under the stimulated circumstance of oxidative stress induced by H_2O_2.Results:The results of MTT showed that ginsenoside Rg1 apparently protected the proliferation of 293T cell,which were repressed by H_2O_2 (P<0.05).The results by trypan blue showed that H_2O_2 stimulated substantial cytotoxicity.This effect was markedly attenuated by treatment with ginsenoside Rg1.Oxidant production,measured as the fluorescence of dichlorofluorescein,was significant increased by 40%-50% through H_2O_2 stimulation.The decrease in iROS generation was significant blocked by 35%-40% through Rg1 and antioxidant.The relative luciferase reporter assay of NF-κB was apparently improved by H_2O_2-induced(P<0.05),but Ginsenoside Rg1 significantly repressed the relative value of luciferase (P<0.05).Conclusion:Ginsenoside Rg1 has the obvious protective function from the damage of oxidative stress damage,whose possible mechanism is to eliminate excessive free radicals of the cells effectively,to reduce transcriptional activation of nuclear factor kappa B(NF-κB),and subsequently to suppress the NF-κB circuit activation.
