After the microorganisms were cultured and purified,the 16S rRNA sequencing method was used to identify the strains. Microbiomeanalyst online analysis software was used for data analysis.ResultsThe number of microorganisms in the CNC area of pharmaceutical enterprises was large and the species were rich. A total of 4 080 microorganisms were collected,which distributed in 47 genera. Gram-positive bacteria accounted for 84. 4%,mainly belonging to Staphylococcus,Micrococcus,Microbacterium. Gram-negative bacteria accounted for 15. 6%,and the distribution of Acinetobacter was much higher than other gram-negative bacteria. The Alpha diversity index was used to characterize the richness of microbial populations. The richness of microbial populations of airborne microbe and settling microbe was the highest,followed by environmental surface microorganisms,and the microbial population richness of personnel surface microorganism was the lowest. The number of microorganisms in the personnel's hood and chest was relatively small,and the number of microorganisms in the personnel's soles of feet and hands was relatively large. There were relatively few types of microorganisms on the surface of personnel,and staphylococcus showed an absolute advantage. The microbial distribution in CNC area was correlated with the microbial distribution in Class B and C clean areas of the same production workshop. Most of the microorganisms collected in Class B and C clean areas were included in the microbial population in CNC area. Class B and C clean areas were similar to CNC area,both of which were dominated by Staphylococcus and Micrococcus. The distribution proportion of Acinetobacter in Class B and C clean areas decreased compared with that in CNC area.ConclusionThe CNC area microbial database of the pharmaceutical enterprises has been established and the microbial population that is easy to enter the clean area has been determined,providing reliable technical support for the good microorganism control in the clean area

Objective:To study the relative molecular weight and distribution of polysaccharides in Polygonati Rhizoma (PR) before and after processing, as well as the effects of different polysaccharide fractions on immune function and inflammatory response of mouse peritoneal macrophages. Method:High-performance gel permeation chromatography (HPGPC) was used to determine the relative molecular weight and distribution of polysaccharides in PR (named SC) and polysaccharides in PR processed with wine (named JC), and polysaccharide fractions with different relative molecular weights were obtained by dialysis. Different polysaccharide fractions were applied to mouse peritoneal macrophages, which was normal or induced by lipopolysaccharide (LPS). Cell counting kit-8 (CCK-8) method was used to select the optimal administration concentration. Enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) was used to determine the concentrations of tumor necrosis factor-<italic>α</italic> (TNF-<italic>α</italic>) and interleukin-1<italic>β</italic> (IL-1<italic>β</italic>) in the cell supernatant. The Griess method was used to detect the concentration of nitric oxide (NO). Result:SC and JC could be divided into four parts according to relative molecular weight and its distribution range, including part Ⅰ(14 800-2 273 kDa), part Ⅱ(2 148-296 kDa), part Ⅲ(12-1 kDa) and part Ⅳ(818-362 Da). Based on the differences of part Ⅰ and part Ⅲ after processing, the SC and JC were divided into two-part according to the weight-average relative molecular weight (<italic>M</italic><sub>W</sub>). For normal mouse peritoneal macrophages, JC could significantly promote the secretion of TNF-<italic>α</italic> (<italic>P</italic><0.01), while SC had no significant effect. Four polysaccharide fractions, named SD (SC fraction with <italic>M</italic><sub>W</sub>>50 kDa), JD (JC fraction with <italic>M</italic><sub>W</sub>>50 kDa), SX (SC fraction with <italic>M</italic><sub>W</sub><50 kDa) and JX (JC fraction with <italic>M</italic><sub>W</sub><50 kDa), also could<italic> </italic>significantly promote the secretion of TNF-<italic>α</italic> (<italic>P</italic><0.01), but only JX could significantly promote the secretion of NO (<italic>P</italic><0.05). In addition, the effect of JX group stimulated secretion of TNF-<italic>α</italic> was better than the JD group (<italic>P</italic><0.01). For the LPS-induced macrophage model, JC and SC group could<italic> </italic>significantly inhibit the secretion of TNF-<italic>α</italic> and IL-1<italic>β</italic> (<italic>P</italic><0.01), and the effect of JC was stronger. To compare different polysaccharide fractions, the impact of JX on inhibiting the secretion of TNF-<italic>α</italic> and IL-1<italic>β</italic> was<italic> </italic>significantly stronger than JD (<italic>P</italic><0.01), and SX inhibited the secretion of TNF-<italic>α</italic> was significantly stronger than SD (<italic>P</italic><0.01). Conclusion:The relative molecular weight and distribution of polysaccharides in PR before and after processing have changed. JC and SC improve the immune regulation mainly by inhibiting the inflammatory response, the fraction of <italic>M</italic><sub>W</sub><50 kDa is the main effective part, and the effect of PR polysaccharides in inhibiting the inflammatory is enhanced after processing with wine.
RESUMO
BACKGROUND: Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a chronic, progressive neurodegenerative disease. Recent studies have reported the close association between cognitive function in AD and purinergic receptors in the central nervous system. In the current study, we investigated the effect of CD73 inhibitor α, ß-methylene ADP (APCP) on cognitive impairment of AD in mice, and to explore the potential underlying mechanisms. RESULTS: We found that acute administration of Aß142 (i.c.v.) resulted in a significant increase in adenosine release by using microdialysis study. Chronic administration of APCP (10, 30 mg/kg) for 20 d obviously mitigated the spatial working memory impairment of Aß142-treated mice in both Morris water maze (MWM) test and Y-maze test. In addition, the extracellular adenosine production in the hippocampus was inhibited by APCP in Aß-treated mice. Further analyses indicated expression of acetyltransferase (ChAT) in hippocampus of mice of was significantly reduced, while acetylcholinesterase (AChE) expression increased, which compared to model group. We observed that APCP did not significantly alter the NLRP3 inflammasome activity in hippocampus, indicating that anti-central inflammation seems not to be involved in APCP effect. CONCLUSIONS: In conclusion, we report for the first time that inhibition of CD73 by APCP was able to protect against memory loss induced by Aß142 in mice, which may be due to the decrease of CD73-driven adenosine production in hippocampus. Enhancement of central cholinergic function of the central nervous system may also be involved in the effects of APCP.

As the essential part of tratidional Chinese medicine(TCM), the research and development of classic formula have become a hot spot in TCM industry. However, with the change of the age, the species, medical part and origin of TCM have more or less changed. It is of great significance for the safety and effectiveness of the classical prescription to clarify the varieties and medicinal parts of TCM. In this paper, based on the discussion of the methods of textual research on the Chinese herbs, the species and medical parts, origin of Chinese herbs in a list of 100 famous classical formulas which promulgated by the state administration of TCM were analyzed. The textual research of Chinese herbs shows that most of the herbs involved in the classical formula have the problems of species, medical part, and origin. Therefore, it is of great significance for the selection of the species and medical parts, origin of the Chinese herbs in the research and development process of the classical formula.
RESUMO
Introduction: Trastuzumab resistance is a major obstacle encountered in human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2)-positive breast cancer therapy. Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) have been confirmed to play important roles in both tumorigenesis and tumor development. However, whether lncRNAs are associated with trastuzumab resistance is not yet clear. Subjects and Methods: We evaluated trastuzumab sensitivity in breast cancer cell lines, SKBR3, HCC1954, and MDA-MB-231. We also evaluated H19 expression in these cell lines after treatment with different trastuzumab concentrations. Besides, H19 was downregulated to investigate its role in cell viability and trastuzumab sensitivity and a trastuzumab resistance cell line was cultured to verify the effect of H19 in trastuzumab resistance. Forty-eight HER2-positive breast cancer patients treated with trastuzumab in the first-line setting were selected retrospectively to explore the relationship between H19 expression and tumor-node-metastasis (TNM) stage as well as trastuzumab resistance. Results: H19 is a trastuzumab-responsive lncRNA and its expression was upregulated in a trastuzumab-resistant breast cancer cell. Downregulation of H19 restored the sensitivity of trastuzumab-resistant cells to this drug. The expression of H19 significantly correlated with TNM stage. Patients with higher expression of H19 showed an evidently shorter progression-free survival than those with low H19 expression. H19 overexpression was negatively correlated to the trastuzumab-therapy response. Conclusions: Our results provide evidence for the H19-mediated regulation of trastuzumab resistance in HER2-positive breast cancer cells. H19 could act as a potential predictive biomarker for HER2-positive breast cancer patients, and downregulation of H19 could reverse trastuzumab resistance and enhance the inhibitory function of this drug

RESUMO
BACKGROUND: Arsenic trioxide (As2O3), a drug that has been used in China for approximately two thousand years, induces cell death in a variety of cancer cell types, including neuroblastoma (NB). The tyrosine kinase receptor (Trk) family comprises three members, namely TrkA, TrkB and TrkC. Various studies have confirmed that TrkA and TrkC expression is associated with a good prognosis in NB, while TrkB overexpression can lead to tumor cell growth and invasive metastasis. Previous studies have shown that As2O3 can inhibit the growth and proliferation of a human NB cell line and can also affect the N-Myc mRNA expression. It remains unclear whether As2O3 regulates Trks for the purposes of treating NB. METHODS: The aim of the present study was to investigate the effect of As2O3 on Trk expression in NB cell lines and its potential therapeutic efficacy. SK-N-SH cells were grown with increasing doses of As2O3 at different time points. We cultured SK-N-SH cells, which were treated with increasing doses of As2O3 at different time points. Trk expression in the NB samples was quantified by immunohistochemistry, and the cell cycle was analyzed by flow cytometry. TrkA, TrkB and TrkC mRNA expression was evaluated by real-time PCR analysis. RESULTS: Immunohistochemical and real-time PCR analyses indicated that TrkA and TrkC were over-expressed in NB, and specifically during stages 1, 2 and 4S of the disease progression. TrkB expression was increased in stage 3 and 4 NB. As2O3significantly arrested SK-N-SH cells in the G2/M phase. In addition, TrkA, TrkB and TrkC expression levels were significantly upregulated by higher concentrations of As2O3 treatment, notably in the 48-h treatment period. Our findings suggested that to achieve the maximum effect and appropriate regulation of Trk expression in NB stages 1, 2 and 4S, As2O3 treatment should be at relatively higher concentrations for longer delivery times;however, for NB stages 3 and 4, an appropriate concentration and infusion time for As2O3 must be carefully determined. CONCLUSION: The present findings suggested that As2O3 induced Trk expression in SK-N-SH cells to varying degrees and may be a promising adjuvant to current treatments for NB due to its apoptotic effects.

The Grainyhead-like 3 (GRHL3) is involved in epidermal barrier formation,neural tube closure and wound repair.Previous studies have suggested that GRHL3 has been linked to many different types of cancers.However,to date,its effects on human colorectal cancer (CRC) has not been clarified yet.Our microarray analysis has indicated predominant GRHL3 expression in CRC.The purpose of this study was to investigate the expression and significance of GRHL3 in CRC tumorigenesis using CRC tissues and paired paracancerous tissues,as well as using distinct CRC cell lines (HT29 and DLD1).We observed increased GRHL3 expression at both mRNA and protein levels in CRC tissues and CRC cell lines using quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) and Western blotting.Moreover,silencing GRHL3 with siRNA could suppress CRC cell proliferation,viability and migration in vitro.We also found that knockdown of GRHL3 could promote cell cycle arrest at G0/G1 phase in HT29 cells and DLD1 cells,and induce cell apoptosis in HT29 cells.Together,our study revealed the down-regulation of GRHL3 in vitro could inhibit CRC cell activity and trigger cell cycle arrest at G0/G1 phase and apoptosis.
RESUMO
The sialyl Lewis X (SLex) antigen encoded by the FUT7 gene is the ligand of endotheliam-selectin (E-selectin).The combination of SLex antigen and E-selectin represents an important way for malignant tumor metastasis.In the present study,the effect of the SLeX-binding DNA aptamer on the adhesion and metastasis of hepatocellular carcinoma HepG2 cells in vitro was investigated.Reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) and immunofluorescence staining were conducted to detect the expression of FUT7 at both transcriptional and translational levels.The SLex expression in HepG2 cells treated with different concentrations of SLeX-binding DNA aptamer was detected by flow cytometry.Besides,the adhesion,migration,and invasion of HepG2 cells were measured by cell adhesion assay,and the Transwell migration and invasion assay.The results showed that the FUT7 expression was up-regulated at both mRNA and protein levels in HepG2 cells.SLeX-binding DNA aptamer could significantly decrease the expression of SLex in HepG2 cells.The cell adhesion assay revealed that the SLeX-binding DNA aptamer could effectively inhibit the interactions between E-selectin and SLex in the HepG2 cells.Additionally,SLeX-binding DNA aptamers at 20 nmol/L were found to have the similar effect to the monoclonal antibody CSLEX-1.The Transwell migration and invasion assay revealed that the number of penetrating cells on the down-side of Transwell membrane was significantly less in cells treated with 5,10,20 nmol/L SLeX-binding DNA aptamer than those in the negative control group (P<0.01).Our study demonstrated that the SLeX-binding DNA aptamer could significantly inhibit the in vitro adhesion,migration,and invasion of HepG2 cells,suggesting that the SLeX-binding DNA aptamer may be used as a potential molecular targeted drug against metastatic hepatocellular carcinoma.

RESUMO
CD46 is not only identified as a complement regulatory protein which protects host cells from complement attack,but also a new co-stimulatory molecule for human T cells.CD3/CD46 co-stimulation can induce a T-regulatory 1 cell(Tr1)-specific cytokine phenotype in human CD4+T cells.However,the role of CD46 as a co-stimulatory molecule in the modulation of the acquired immunity,such as transplant immunology,remains unclear.In this study,CD4+T cells were isolated from human CD46-transgenic C57BL/6 mice by magnetic-activated cell sorting,and further induced by anti-CD3,anti-CD28 and anti-CD46 antibodies respectively,and anti-CD3/anti-CD28 antibodies,anti-CD3/anti-CD46 antibodies,or the monoclonal antibody panel against CD3/CD28/CD46.The levels of interleukin-2(IL-2),γ-interferon(γ-IFN),interleukin-10(IL-10)and transforming growth factor-β(TGF-β)were detected in the supematants of different groups.Suppression of allogeneic T cell proliferation were assessed by using mixed lymphocyte reaction(MLR)assay,in which monoclonal antibodies against CD46 were added to the culture.The results showed that CD3/CD28,CD3/CD46 and CD3/CD28/CD46 co-stimulation could significantly induce stronger proliferation of T cells than CD3 stimulation(P<0.05),and CD3/CD28/CD46 co-stimulation significantly increased the proliferation of T cells when compared with CD3/CD28 or CD3/CD46 co-stimulation(P<0.05 for each).IL-2 and γ-IFN levels were much higher in CD3/CD28 co-stimulation group than in CD3,CD28,CD46 and CD3/CD46 groups(P<0.05 for each).IL-10 and TGF-β levels were dramatically increased in CD3/CD46 co-stimulation group as compared with those in the CD3,CD28,CD46 and CD3/CD28 groups(P<0.05 for each).CD3/CD46 co-stimulation significantly inhibited the T cell proliferation and allogenic immune responses through the secretion of IL-10 and TGF-β in MLR (P<0.05).These results suggested that CD3/CD46 can induce Tr1 cells to modulate allogenic immune responses,and it may become a novel target for the development of new therapeutic approach for T-cell-mediated diseases.CD46 plays an important role in regulating the T cell-mediated immune responses by bridging innate and acquired immunity.
