Purpose: The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between cell adhesion and anoikis evasion among human osteosarcoma cells (MG-63), and to further study the molecular mechanisms. Materials and Methods: Human osteosarcoma cells (MG-63) were assessed for apoptosis, and caspase-3, E-cadherin and ${\beta}$-catenin expression in EDTA and control non-EDTA groups. Results: MG-63 cells were predominantly aggregated when in suspension, and the suspended cells were more dispersed in the EDTA group. Following culture in suspension for 24 h, 48 h, or 72 h, the rates of apoptosis were $34.88%{\pm}3.64%$, $59.3%{\pm}7.22%$ and $78.5%{\pm}5.21%$ in the experimental group and $7.34%{\pm}2.13%$, $14.7%{\pm}3.69%$, and $21.4%{\pm}3.60%$ in the control group, respectively. Caspase-3 expression progressively increased and E-cadherin and ${\beta}$-catenin were decreased in the experimental group, whereas there was no change in the control group. Conclusions: MG-63 cells could avoid anoikis through cell adhesion, and E-cadherin might play a role in this process.

The Expression of Genes Related to Egg Production in the Liver of Taiwan Country Chickens

Ding, S.T.,Ko, Y.H.,Ou, B.R.,Wang, P.H.,Chen, C.L.,Huang, M.C.,Lee, Y.P.,Lin, E.C.,Chen, C.F.,Lin, H.W.,Cheng, Winston Teng Kuei Asian Australasian Association of Animal Productio 2008 Animal Bioscience Vol.21 No.1

The purpose of this study was to detect expression of genes related to egg production in Taiwan Country chickens by suppression subtractive hybridization. Liver samples of mRNA extraction from two Taiwan Country chicken strains (L2 and B), originated from the same population but with very distinct egg production rates after long-term selection for egg and meat production respectively. Two-way subtraction was performed. The hepatic cDNA from the low egg production chickens (B) was subtracted from the hepatic cDNA from the high egg production strain (L2). The reversed subtraction (L2 from B) was also performed. The resulting differentially expressed gene fragments were cloned and sequenced. We sequenced 288 clones from the forward subtraction and 96 clones from the reverse subtraction. These genes were subjected to further screening to confirm the differential expression between the two genetic breeds of chickens. The apolipoprotein B (apoB) was expressed to a greater extent in the liver of the L2 than in the B line chickens. The 5-aminoimidazole- 4-carboxamide ribonucleotide formyltransferase/IMP cyclohydrolase (PURH) was expressed to a greater extent in the liver of the B than in the L2 strain chickens. We demonstrated that both apoB and PURH were more highly expressed in the liver than that in other tissues (muscle, ovary, and oviduct) in laying Taiwan Country chickens. Taken together, these data suggest that after the selection for egg production, expression of apoB and PURH genes were also changed. Whether the changed expression of these genes is directly related to egg production is not known, but these two genes may be useful markers for egg laying performance in Taiwan Country chickens.

Therapeutic Benefits of Mesenchymal Stromal Cells in a Rat Model of Hemoglobin-Induced Hypertensive Intracerebral Hemorrhage

Ding, Rui,Lin, Chunnan,Wei, ShanShan,Zhang, Naichong,Tang, Liangang,Lin, Yumao,Chen, Zhijun,Xie, Teng,Chen, XiaoWei,Feng, Yu,Wu, LiHua Korean Society for Molecular and Cellular Biology 2017 Molecules and cells Vol.40 No.2

Previous studies have shown that bone marrow mesenchymal stromal cell (MSC) transplantation significantly improves the recovery of neurological function in a rat model of intracerebral hemorrhage. Potential repair mechanisms involve anti-inflammation, anti-apoptosis and angiogenesis. However, few studies have focused on the effects of MSCs on inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) expression and subsequent peroxynitrite formation after hypertensive intracerebral hemorrhage (HICH). In this study, MSCs were transplanted intracerebrally into rats 6 hours after HICH. The modified neurological severity score and the modified limb placing test were used to measure behavioral outcomes. Blood-brain barrier disruption and neuronal loss were measured by zonula occludens-1 (ZO-1) and neuronal nucleus (NeuN) expression, respectively. Concomitant edema formation was evaluated by H&E staining and brain water content. The effect of MSCs treatment on neuroinflammation was analyzed by immunohistochemical analysis or polymerase chain reaction of CD68, Iba1, iNOS expression and subsequent peroxynitrite formation, and by an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay of pro-inflammatory factors (IL-$1{\beta}$ and TNF-${\alpha}$). The MSCs-treated HICH group showed better performance on behavioral scores and lower brain water content compared to controls. Moreover, the MSC injection increased NeuN and ZO-1 expression measured by immunochemistry/immunofluorescence. Furthermore, MSCs reduced not only levels of CD68, Iba1 and pro-inflammatory factors, but it also inhibited iNOS expression and peroxynitrite formation in perihematomal regions. The results suggest that intracerebral administration of MSCs accelerates neurological function recovery in HICH rats. This may result from the ability of MSCs to suppress inflammation, at least in part, by inhibiting iNOS expression and subsequent peroxynitrite formation.

Genetic Polymorphisms of TCF7L2 Lack Influence on Risk of the Polycystic Ovary Syndrome - a Systemic Analysis

Lin, Lin,Yang, Jing,Ding, Yan,Wang, Jing,Ting, Liu Asian Pacific Journal of Cancer Prevention 2014 Asian Pacific journal of cancer prevention Vol.15 No.7

Background: The results of previous researches that analyzed the association between genetic polymorphisms of transcription factor-7-like 2 (TCF7L2, rs7903146) and polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) were conflicting. Current systematic analysis was conducted to re-explore this association using updated materials. Materials and Methods: The PubMed database was used for data collection and the final search was conducted on January 3, 2014. For TCF7L2 rs7903146, a non-signficiant slight increase in risk of PCOS development was observed under three genetic models (dominant model: OR=1.06, 95%CI: 0.93-1.21, p>0.05; recessive model: OR=1.12, 95%CI: 0.87-1.43, p> 0.05; homozygous model: OR=1.14, 95%CI: 0.87-1.47, p>0.05). In the subgroup analyses in Asian group, allele susceptibility of PCOS was calculated (allele model: OR=1.00, 95%CI: 0.74-1.35, p>0.05; dominant model: OR=0.98, 95%CI: 0.71-1.35, p>0.05; recessive model: OR=1.79, 95%CI: 0.33-9.84, p>0.05; homozygous model: OR=1.78, 95%CI: 0.32-9.80, p>0.05), the differences were again not statistically significant. Conclusions: The findings of this systemic analysis suggest that the polymorphism of TCF7L2 rs7903146 may not be associated with the susceptibility to PCOS.

This paper investigates the impact of PM₁₀ on mortality throughout 31 provinces in China by using dynamic panel data model. The results show PM₁₀ has significant negative impact on mortality rate in the long term. Higher income reduces the mortality rate, as well as reduces the impact of PM₁₀ on mortality rate. Provinces with higher increasing rate in PM₁₀ bring out more increasing in mortality rate. With increasing in PM₁₀ by 0.01 mg/m³ (6.9%, 24.61%), death toll will be increased by at most 0.2188 per thousand people. If the government adopt measures to reduce PM₁₀ concentration, the death toll is reduced by (285679.09, 370132.46) for reaching Chinese national standard and (1218762.97, 1549211.57) for WHO’s standard.

Improved AQPSO Algorithm for Solving the Model of the Skin Effect Electric Heating System

Ding Li,Ding Xinghua,Ren Weina,Lin Aiguo 대한전기학회 2022 Journal of Electrical Engineering & Technology Vol.17 No.5

In view of the importance of the skin-eff ect electric heat tracing system of the submarine oil pipeline in heating and condensation reduction, it is necessary to start from the skin electric heating mechanism and construct its complete mathematical model to realize the effi cient operation of the system. Aiming at the problem of unknown parameters in the model of the skin-eff ect electric heat tracing system, an improved adaptive quantum behaviour particle swarm optimization algorithm (AQPSO) based on the quantum behaviour particle swarm optimization algorithm is proposed, in order to eff ectively identify the model parameters. In the algorithm design, in view of the high dependence of the basic QPSO algorithm on the shrinkage and expansion coeffi cients, the particle aggregation factor is introduced, and the shrinkage and expansion coeffi cients are redesigned. In view of the diff erent proportions of the fi tness value of the individual optimal position, the weight coeffi cient is introduced to construct the best position of the average weight to realize the improvement of the basic QPSO algorithm. The simulation results show that the AQPSO algorithm has better performance than QPSO in terms of convergence accuracy and robustness. This algorithm not only overcomes the inherent premature defects of particle swarms, but also improves the accuracy of the algorithm and obtains accurate model parameters. It can be seen that the improved adaptive quantum behaviour particle swarm algorithm has certain feasibility and eff ectiveness in the parameter identifi cation of Hammerstein model.

Research on Deep-Sea Pipeline Tube Bundle Heating System

Li Ding,Xinghua Ding,Weina Ren,Yingying Mu,Aiguo Lin 대한전기학회 2020 Journal of Electrical Engineering & Technology Vol.15 No.6

In order to ensure the safety of deep-sea submarine pipelines, this paper focuses on the analysis of the axial temperature distribution model of the submarine pipeline and the distribution parameter circuit model of the tube bundle heating system. Combined with these two models, theoretical analysis shows that the heating eff ect of the tube bundle heating system depends on the distributed circuit parameters and power frequency of the system. In order to improve the heat tracing effi ciency, the power frequency needs to be adjusted according to the change of the load temperature, so the power supply frequency of the tube bundle heating system based on the Hammerstein model is optimized. Using a neuro-fuzzy algorithm, not only the theoretical values of heating power and power frequency are obtained, but also the drawbacks of determining the above parameters based on engineering experiments are avoided. Moreover, the pipeline heating is effi cient and stable, the dynamic response is fast, and the working condition is also well adapted.

C-X-C motif chemokine ligand 2 (CXCL2) is a small secreted protein that exhibits a structure similar to the proangiogenic subgroup of the CXC chemokine family. Recently, accumulating evidence suggests that chemokines play a pivotal role in cancer progression and carcinogenesis. We examined the expression levels of 7 types of ELR+ CXCLs messenger RNA (mRNA) in 264 clinical samples. We found that CXCL2 expression was stably down-regulated in 94% of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) specimens compared with paired adjacent normal liver tissues and some HCC cell lines. Moreover, CXCL2 overexpression profoundly attenuated HCC cell proliferation and growth and induced apoptosis in vitro. In animal studies, we found that overexpressing CXCL2 by lentivirus also apparently inhibited the size and weight of subcutaneous tumours in nude mice. Furthermore, we demonstrated that CXCL2 induced HCC cell apoptosis via both nuclear and mitochondrial apoptosis pathways. Our results indicate that CXCL2 negatively regulates the cell cycle in HCC cells via the ERK1/2 signalling pathway. These results provide new insights into HCC and may ultimately lead to the discovery of innovative therapeutic approaches of HCC. [BMB Reports 2018; 51(12): 630-635]
