RESUMEN
Lung cancer is one of the leading causes of cancer-related death in the world. MicroRNA- (miR-) 628-3p plays critical roles in many cancers, including lung cancer. We investigated how miR-628-3p affected migration and apoptosis in A549 cells. We used bioinformatics algorithms to predict the miR-628-3p target gene to study the molecular mechanism by which miR-628-3p contributes to lung cancer. Then, we used the luciferase reporter assay to identify whether heat shock protein 90a (HSP90) is a direct target of miR-628-3p. Western blotting and quantitative real-time PCR showed that miR-628-3p downregulated HSP90a protein expression via a posttranscriptional mechanism. We confirm that miR-628-3p promotes apoptosis and inhibits migration in A549 cells by negatively regulating HSP90. Our results may reveal a novel strategy for lung cancer treatment.

OBJECTIVE: To study the optimal process of the extraction of indirubin from Isatis indigotica Fort. METHODS: The process was studied by supersonic extraction, refluxing and orthogonal design with the content of indirubin as the detective marker. Then the extraction of indirubin with supersonic extraction and other methods were compared basing on the yield of extracts. RESULTS: Among them, the supersonic extraction was the simplest and the most rapid and the most complete in extraction. And the optimal conditions were A1 B1 C2 D3: supersonic extraction with 60% ethanol, 1 hour, 10-fold solvent and 3 times. CONCLUSION: The supersonic extraction can extract more indirubin from Isatis indigotica Fort in shorter time with less energy. It also shows a promising prospect for leaching the effective constituents from Chinese herbal medicine by supersonic extraction.
