In this paper, we improve the lower bounds for numbers of removable ears and removable edges of 1-extendable graphs. It is proved that any 1-extendable graph G different from K2 and C2n has at least x′(G) edge-disjoint removable ears, and any brick G distinct from Ka and Ce has at least x′(G) - 2 removable edges, where x′(G) denotes the edge-chromatic number of G. Key words 1-extendable graphs, removable ear, removable edge.展开更多
目的探索酮还原酶家族1成员C3(aldo-keto reductase family 1 member C3,AKR1C3)对乳腺癌恶性细胞生物学行为的干预作用及对程序性细胞死亡蛋白/程序性死亡-配体1(programmed cell death protein1/programmed death-ligand1,PD-1/PD-L)...目的探索酮还原酶家族1成员C3(aldo-keto reductase family 1 member C3,AKR1C3)对乳腺癌恶性细胞生物学行为的干预作用及对程序性细胞死亡蛋白/程序性死亡-配体1(programmed cell death protein1/programmed death-ligand1,PD-1/PD-L)通路的影响。方法把MCF-7人乳腺癌细胞中NC组和AKR1C3组分别转染空质粒和AKR1C3质粒,采用MTT法检测转染后24 h、48 h、72 h细胞活力;采用流式细胞技术测定各组细胞的存活率以及早期、晚期凋亡比例;通过Transwell实验对各组细胞的迁移和侵袭能力进行检测;通过Western blot检测各组细胞PD-1、PD-L1、蛋白激酶B(protein kinase b,AKT)蛋白表达水平。使用C57BL/6小鼠构建荷瘤模型,将采用人乳腺癌MCF-7细胞转染NC质粒和AKR1C3质粒进行细胞荷瘤,每3 d测量瘤体积,持续21 d,绘制两组小鼠肿瘤生长曲线,并于实验终点测量肿瘤质量。结果相较于NC组,AKR1C3组细胞活力降低(P<0.05),并且具有时间依赖效应(P<0.05),迁移和侵袭能力降低(P<0.05),早期凋亡和晚期凋亡比例升高(P<0.05),PD-1、PD-L1、AKT蛋白表达水平降低(P<0.05)。动物实验表明,AKR1C3组小鼠肿瘤体积降低,肿瘤质量下降(P<0.05)。结论AKR1C3可以抑制人乳腺癌细胞恶性生物学行为,抑制PD-1/PDL1信号通路蛋白表达。展开更多

文摘Carvalho, Lucchesi and Murty proved that any 1-extendable graph G different from K2 and C2n has at least A(G) edge-disjoint removable ears, and any brick G distinct from K4 and C6 has at least A(G) - 2 removable edges, where A(G) denotes the maximum degree of G. In this paper, we improve the lower bounds for numbers of removable ears and removable edges of 1-extendable graphs. It is proved that any 1-extendable graph G different from K2 and C2n has at least x′(G) edge-disjoint removable ears, and any brick G distinct from Ka and Ce has at least x′(G) - 2 removable edges, where x′(G) denotes the edge-chromatic number of G. Key words 1-extendable graphs, removable ear, removable edge.
