Levels of p27 have been found to have independent prognostic significance in a variety of tumors including breast, colon, prostate, ovary, and gastric carcinomas. We investigated p27 levels and determined ras mutational status in 136 non-small cell lung cancers. We found reduced levels of p27 in 86% of cases and showed a statistically significant inverse correlation between p27 levels and tumor grade. ras mutations were found exclusively in adenocarcinomas and showed no relationship to p27 levels. Clinical data on a subset of the patients studied indicated that all 16 patients who died of disease and 21 of 22 patients who relapsed had low p27 levels, whereas all patients with high p27 levels were alive at last follow up. These findings suggest that alteration in p27 levels plays an important role in lung tumor progression and that p27 levels may have independent prognostic significance in non-small cell lung cancer.

This study aimed to investigate the mechanism by which Se in regulates the proliferation and apoptosis of sheep Leydig cells via the miR-200a/NRF pathway. The cells were isolated and purified from the testes of 8-month-old sheep via a Percoll density gradient. After the cells were treated with different concentrations of Se (0, 2.

Recombinant GH16B β-agarase-catalyzed liquefaction of 5-7 %(w/v) melted agarose at 50 °C completely hydrolyzed agarose into neoagarohexaose (NA6) and neoagarotetraose (NA4). Subsequent saccharification by recombinant GH50A β-agarase or recombinant GH50A β-agarase/recombinant GH117A α-neoagarobiose hydrolase at 35 °C converted NA6/NA4 into neoagarobiose (NA2) or 3,6-anhydro-L-galactose (L-AHG)/D-galactose, respectively. Purification of NA6/NA4 and NA2 was achieved by Sephadex G-15 column chromatography, while L-AHG was purified by Sephadex G-10, achieving ≥ 98 % purity.

Tianjin Key Laboratory of Therapeutic Substance of Traditional Chinese Medicine, School of Chinese Materia Medica, Tianjin University of Traditional Chinese Medicine, Tianjin 301617, P. R. China.

A panel of ferrocenyl-substituted curcumin derivatives has been designed and synthesized as protein tyrosine phosphatase proto-oncogene SHP-2 inhibitors. Antiproliferative activities of the synthesized compounds were tested against colorectal cancer cell lines (including RKO, SW480, and CT26). Compound showed excellent activities against the tested cell lines with IC values of 5.
