Eight days after treatment with various concentrations of c9,t11-CLA, as mentioned above, the inhibition rates were 5.9 %, 20.2 %,75.6 % and 82.4 %, respectively. The frequency of apoptosis on SGC-7901 cells induced by different concentrations of c9, t11-CLA (except for 25 μmol@L-1, 24 h) was significantly greater than that in the negative control (P＜0.01). To further investigate the influence of the cell cycle progression, we found that apoptosis induced by c9, t11-CLA may be involved in blocking the cell cycle of SGC-7901 cells. Immunocytochemical staining demonstrated that SGC-7901 cells preincubated in media supplemented with different c9, t11-CLA concentrations for various time periods significantly decreased the expressions of ki67 (the expression rates were 18.70-3.20 %, at 24 h and 8.10-0.20 % at 48 h, respectively), bd-2 (4.30-0.15 % at 24 h and 8.05 %-0 at 48 h),and c-myc(4.85-2.20 % at 24 h and 4.75-0.30 % at 48 h) as compared with those in the controls (the expressions of ki67, bcl-2, and c-mycwere 15.1% at 24 h and 13.5 % at 48 h, 6.80 % at 24 h and 8.00 % at 48 h,5.50 % at 24 h and 5.30 % at 48 h, respectively) (P＜0.01),whereas the expressions of Fas were increased (0.60-2.75 %,24 h and 0.45-5.95 %, 48 h).CONCLUSION: The growth and proliferation of SGC-7901 cells are inhibited by cg, t11-CLA via blocking the cell cycle,pathways of bcl-2-associated mitochondria with reduced expression of bcl-2 and Fas-associated death domain protein (FADD) with enhanced expression of Fas. But expression of c-myc on SGC-7901 cells is lower than that in negative control, which needs to be studied further.展开更多

The attachment rate to fibronectin was 100.0±4.7, 96.8±3.8,94.5±4.1, 76.5±4.3, and 61.8±4.8, respectively. The attachment rate to Matrigel was 99.9±6.6, 91.4±6.8,85.5±7.4, 79.3±5.6, and 69.6±5.1, respectively. Besides,c9,t11-CLA could increase the level of ECD and α-catenin,and decrease the level of ICAM-1 and VCAM-1 in SGC-7901 cells.CONCLUSION: c9, t11-CLA can reduce the adhesion of human gastric carcinoma cells to laminin, fibronectin and Matrigel. c9,t11-CLA can increase the level of ECD and α-catenin, and decrease the level of ICAM-1 and VCAM-1 in human gastric carcinoma cells.展开更多

Methods It was a randomized crossover design. Each volunteer was randomly assigned to one of the two diets (high fat and low fat) for a period of 4 weeks, after which each subject resumed his usual diet for 2 weeks as a 'wash-out period', before being assigned to the other diet for an additional 4 weeks. Results Serum proportion of 20:4n-6 was 5% lower in the high fat (6.2% of total fatty acid) than in the low fat diet (6.5% of total fatty acid), which was associated with a significantly decreased ratio of the urinary excretion 11-dehydro TXB2 to 6-keto PGF lα (P<0.05). However, there was no significant fall in the absolute urinary excretion of 11-dehydro TXB2. Conclusions Diet rich in SFA from animal sources may influence TXA2 formation via effect on tissue proportion of 20:4n-6.展开更多

The results showed that the PG activity increased, then decreased during ripening and senescence of tomato. Low temperature inhibited but ethylene enhanced PG activity. Ethylene also enhanced calmodulin content, which was dependent on Ca 2+concentration in cell. When EGTA(Ca 2+chelator), verapamil(Vp) and LaCl 3(Ca 2+channel blockers), trifluoperazine and chloropromaize (two CaM antagonisms) were used to treat tomato fruit at green mature stage with ethylene, they could reverse ethylene-induced increase in PG activity, but Vp, chloropromaize (CPZ), trifluoperazine (TFP) could not directly influence PG activity, which indirectly indicated that influx of Ca 2+ from the extracellular space including the cell wall via the Ca 2+ channel localized in plasma membrane and CaM were required for ethylene-induced PG activity increase and that ethylene signal transduction may be related to Ca 2+CaM messenger system.展开更多

Lycopene content accumulated obviously during ripening and senescence of tomato fruit after harvest at pink stage. Low temperature inhibited but ethylene enhanced the lycopene content. Meanwhile, ethylene also promoted calmodulin (CaM) content in tomato fruit, which was related to the concentration of ethylene. When EGTA, Vp, TFP and CPZ with ethylene were used to treat tomato fruit, ethylene-induced increase in lycopene content could be reversed, indicating that blocking Ca 2+ channel in plasma membrane or chelating extracellular Ca 2+ or inhibiting the activity of CaM could decrease the action of ethylene, and suggesting that Ca 2+-CaM messenger system may be involved in lycopene increase induced by ethylene.展开更多
