The α-glucosidase inhibitory activity of these compounds was evaluated. The glucosidase inhibitory activity of all derivatives （IC50 〈 24.396 μmol]L） was higher compared with that of the reference drug, acarbose （IC50=563.601 ±40.492μmol/L）, and 1- deoxynojirimycin （IC50 = 226.912± 12.573 μmol/L）. O3＇,O7-Hexyl diosmetin （IC50 = 2.406 ± 0.101μmol/L） was the most potent inhibitor identified. These compounds showed a higher inhibitory ability compared with their precursors except the luteolin derivatives. In general, the inhibitory activity of the synthetic derivatives was enhanced with long alkyl chains at positions 3＇, 4＇ and 7 of the flavonoid.展开更多

The effects of partial Nb substitution for Fe on the structural and magnetic properties of Sm2Fe17-xNbx alloys and their nitlides were investigated. It was seen that Sm2（Fe,Nb）17 phase exists in both annealed and HDDR-treated Sm2Fe17-xNbx alloys. However, its content is decreased with the increase in Nb substitution. In annealed alloys, Sm2（Fe,Nb）17 phase becomes unstable and will dissociate into SmFe2 and Fe-rich phases when x 〉 1.5. With HDDR-treatment, the Nb concentration in recombined Sm2（Fe,Nb）17 phase is decreased, and the content of Fe-rich phases is increased. Sm2Fe17-xNbx powder exhibits dendritic cracks and fine particles with a size of less than 300 nm. In nitrogenated alloys, N atoms mainly enter 2：17-type phase to form Sm2（Fe,Nb）17Ny. Partial Nb atoms in Sm2（Fe,Nb）17Ny phase will be released or excluded by nitrogen atoms. Fe-rich phases increase, and are followed by the amorphous Sm2（Fe,Nb）17Ny phase. Nb substitution for Fe with x = 0.5 and 1.0 in Sm2Fe17-xNbxNy powders increases the coercivity and remanence. But when x is greater than 2.0, Nb substitution will deteriorate the magnetic properties.展开更多

In this study, we conducted a two-year field experiment to study the impacts of water regime and N fertilizer on rice yields and GHG emissions in Harbin, China, a cold region located in high latitudes. Our results showed that intermittent irrigation significantly decreased methane（CH4） emission compared with continuous flooding, however,the decrement was far lower than the global average level. The N2O emissions were very small when flooded but peaked at the beginning of the disappearance of floodwater. The N fertilizer treatments increased CH4 emissions at low level（75 kg N/ha）. But both CH4 and N2O emissions were uninfluenced at the levels of 150 kg N/ha and 225 kg N/ha. Rice yields increased under intermittent irrigation and were highest at the level of 150 kg N/ha. From our results, we recommended that the intermittent irrigation and 150 kg N/ha as the ideal water regime-nitrogen fertilizer incorporation for this area to achieve low GHG emissions without impacting rice yields.展开更多

Previous studies showed that Ta Sn RK2.4 was involved in response to abiotic stresses and conferred enhanced tolerance to multiple stresses in Arabidopsis. Further experiments were performed to decipher the underlying mechanisms and discover new functions. The genomic sequences of Ta Sn RK2.4 s locating on chromosome 3 A, 3 B and 3 D were obtained. Sequencing identified one and 13 variations of Ta Sn RK2.4-3 A and Ta Sn RK2.4-3 B, respectively, but no variation was detected in Ta Sn RK2.4-3 D. The markers 2.4 AM1, 2.4 BM1 and 2.4 BM2 were developed based on three variations. Association analysis showed that both Ta Sn RK2.4-3 A and Ta Sn RK2.4-3 B were significantly associated with thousand-kernel weight(TKW), and that SNP3 A-T and SNP3 B-C were favorable alleles for higher TKW. Yeast two-hybrid and split luciferase assays showed that Ta Sn RK2.4 physically interacted with abiotic stress responsive protein Ta LTP3, suggesting that Ta Sn RK2.4 enhanced abiotic stress tolerance by activating Ta LTP3. Our studies suggested that Ta Sn RK2.4 have potential in improving TKW and response to abiotic stress.展开更多

By varying the Lagrangian corresponding to the metric, the orbital motion equation has been obtained. The effects of the magnetic charge Q, positive normalization factor C, angular momentum b, and energy E on time-like and null geodesic motion are discussed from three aspects: orbital stability, orbital types, and circular orbits. By comparing the effects of the above parameters C, b on the effective potential, it is found that quintessence has an impact on the types and stability of orbits. In addition, for time-like orbital motion, when 3.443113 ≤ b ≤ 6.392 578(for fixed C = 0.0002, M = 1, Q = 0.7), there are bound orbits, and within this range, the stable circular orbits exist,and the radii of the innermost and outermost stable circular orbit are r = 5.912 654 and r = 56.745 933, respectively. For null orbital motion, the orbital types have only unstable circular orbit which occur at r = 2.951 072(E2= E22= 0.4),absorb orbits and escape orbits, but no stable circular orbits, and bound orbits.展开更多

In order to study the synergistic effect of adjuvant, the effects of different rates of fomesafen alone or applied methylated soybean oil adjuvant（MSO） were sprayed on redroot pigweed, abutilon and black nightshade under greenhouse condition. The results showed that fomesafen had different performance on the three weeds, and MSO adjuvant could effectively increase the control. The nightshade control was lower than other two weeds with all the fomesafen doses from 131.25 to 506.25 ga.i. · hm-2 with or without adjuvant. The control of abutilon was between the black nightshade and the redroot pigweed, and had better control at 375 ga.i. · hm-2 with adjuvant or 506.25 ga.i. · hm-2 alone or with adjuvant respectively. The results indicated that mixing adjuvant with fomesafen improved the control on weeds, especially at the low rate. Black nightshade was more difficult to control. The redroot pigweed had the most susceptibility to fomesafen alone or with adjuvant.展开更多

文摘Several derivatives have been synthesized from chrysin, diosmetin, apigenin, and luteolin, which were isolated from diverse natural plants. The α-glucosidase inhibitory activity of these compounds was evaluated. The glucosidase inhibitory activity of all derivatives （IC50 〈 24.396 μmol]L） was higher compared with that of the reference drug, acarbose （IC50=563.601 ±40.492μmol/L）, and 1- deoxynojirimycin （IC50 = 226.912± 12.573 μmol/L）. O3＇,O7-Hexyl diosmetin （IC50 = 2.406 ± 0.101μmol/L） was the most potent inhibitor identified. These compounds showed a higher inhibitory ability compared with their precursors except the luteolin derivatives. In general, the inhibitory activity of the synthetic derivatives was enhanced with long alkyl chains at positions 3＇, 4＇ and 7 of the flavonoid.

文摘Sm2Fe17-xNbx （x = 0-4） powder was synthesized by HDDR treatment and nitrogenation. The effects of partial Nb substitution for Fe on the structural and magnetic properties of Sm2Fe17-xNbx alloys and their nitlides were investigated. It was seen that Sm2（Fe,Nb）17 phase exists in both annealed and HDDR-treated Sm2Fe17-xNbx alloys. However, its content is decreased with the increase in Nb substitution. In annealed alloys, Sm2（Fe,Nb）17 phase becomes unstable and will dissociate into SmFe2 and Fe-rich phases when x 〉 1.5. With HDDR-treatment, the Nb concentration in recombined Sm2（Fe,Nb）17 phase is decreased, and the content of Fe-rich phases is increased. Sm2Fe17-xNbx powder exhibits dendritic cracks and fine particles with a size of less than 300 nm. In nitrogenated alloys, N atoms mainly enter 2：17-type phase to form Sm2（Fe,Nb）17Ny. Partial Nb atoms in Sm2（Fe,Nb）17Ny phase will be released or excluded by nitrogen atoms. Fe-rich phases increase, and are followed by the amorphous Sm2（Fe,Nb）17Ny phase. Nb substitution for Fe with x = 0.5 and 1.0 in Sm2Fe17-xNbxNy powders increases the coercivity and remanence. But when x is greater than 2.0, Nb substitution will deteriorate the magnetic properties.

文摘Water regime and nitrogen（N） fertilizer are two important factors impacting greenhouse gases（GHG） emission from paddy field, whereas their effects have not been well studied in cold region. In this study, we conducted a two-year field experiment to study the impacts of water regime and N fertilizer on rice yields and GHG emissions in Harbin, China, a cold region located in high latitudes. Our results showed that intermittent irrigation significantly decreased methane（CH4） emission compared with continuous flooding, however,the decrement was far lower than the global average level. The N2O emissions were very small when flooded but peaked at the beginning of the disappearance of floodwater. The N fertilizer treatments increased CH4 emissions at low level（75 kg N/ha）. But both CH4 and N2O emissions were uninfluenced at the levels of 150 kg N/ha and 225 kg N/ha. Rice yields increased under intermittent irrigation and were highest at the level of 150 kg N/ha. From our results, we recommended that the intermittent irrigation and 150 kg N/ha as the ideal water regime-nitrogen fertilizer incorporation for this area to achieve low GHG emissions without impacting rice yields.

文摘Sucrose non-fermenting 1-related protein kinase 2(Sn RK2) is a plant-specific serine/threonine kinase involved in response to adverse environmental stimuli. Previous studies showed that Ta Sn RK2.4 was involved in response to abiotic stresses and conferred enhanced tolerance to multiple stresses in Arabidopsis. Further experiments were performed to decipher the underlying mechanisms and discover new functions. The genomic sequences of Ta Sn RK2.4 s locating on chromosome 3 A, 3 B and 3 D were obtained. Sequencing identified one and 13 variations of Ta Sn RK2.4-3 A and Ta Sn RK2.4-3 B, respectively, but no variation was detected in Ta Sn RK2.4-3 D. The markers 2.4 AM1, 2.4 BM1 and 2.4 BM2 were developed based on three variations. Association analysis showed that both Ta Sn RK2.4-3 A and Ta Sn RK2.4-3 B were significantly associated with thousand-kernel weight(TKW), and that SNP3 A-T and SNP3 B-C were favorable alleles for higher TKW. Yeast two-hybrid and split luciferase assays showed that Ta Sn RK2.4 physically interacted with abiotic stress responsive protein Ta LTP3, suggesting that Ta Sn RK2.4 enhanced abiotic stress tolerance by activating Ta LTP3. Our studies suggested that Ta Sn RK2.4 have potential in improving TKW and response to abiotic stress.

文摘There are numerous studies comparing different kinds of environmental taxes and standards.However,forms of environmental standards focused by former researchers are usually quantitybased limits/standards(e.g.pounds per day or pounds per unit of output).Concentration-based emission standard(e.g.milligrams per liter of wastewater) as one important form of environmental standard has not been given much attention.In this article,comparable estimates of their probable effect on enterprise pollution reduction will be developed for concentrationbased effluent standards,effluent taxes,and a combination of both.A linear simulation model is used to clearly and obviously compare the effects of effluent taxes and concentration-based standards within the same figure.With one detailed application to the paper industry,some enlightenment and conclusions-as well as the general applicability of these principles-are then provided:Under the same effluent tax rate,enterprises,groups,and industries that are cleaner will reduce more pollutants than those that have higher pollutant abatement costs.It is recommended that effluent taxes are set by avoiding cutting it even at one stroke and considering the feasibility of pollution-reducing technology in various industries.It is necessary to reduce MAC of enterprises to better stimulate enterprises' or industries' emission reduction by preferential measures,such as high tax rate coordinated by speeding up the depreciation of environmental protection equipment.

文摘This paper aims to investigate the geodesic motion in the spacetime of a non-linear magnetic charged black hole surrounded by quintessence. By varying the Lagrangian corresponding to the metric, the orbital motion equation has been obtained. The effects of the magnetic charge Q, positive normalization factor C, angular momentum b, and energy E on time-like and null geodesic motion are discussed from three aspects: orbital stability, orbital types, and circular orbits. By comparing the effects of the above parameters C, b on the effective potential, it is found that quintessence has an impact on the types and stability of orbits. In addition, for time-like orbital motion, when 3.443113 ≤ b ≤ 6.392 578(for fixed C = 0.0002, M = 1, Q = 0.7), there are bound orbits, and within this range, the stable circular orbits exist,and the radii of the innermost and outermost stable circular orbit are r = 5.912 654 and r = 56.745 933, respectively. For null orbital motion, the orbital types have only unstable circular orbit which occur at r = 2.951 072(E2= E22= 0.4),absorb orbits and escape orbits, but no stable circular orbits, and bound orbits.
文摘Objective To investigate the apoptosis effect of Total alkaloids on human gastric cancer cells SGC-7901 from Capparis spinosa(C.S)and possible mechanism of it.Methods SGC-7901 cells were treated with different concentrations of the Total alkaloids in CS.MTT assay and SRB assay were used to observe the inhibitory rate of the Total alkaloids,and fluorescence microscope,flow cytometry and used to observe the influence of the Total alkaloids on cell apoptosis and cell cycle changes of SGC-7901.Results The results showed total alkaloids can inhibit the growth of human gastric adenoma cells SGC-7901.Measurements using mononuclear cell direct cytotoxicity assay(the MTT method)shows that its cytotoxic effect on SGC-7901 is strong,with IC50 being 142.895μg·mL-1,respectively.Results from SRB assay show that the anticancer effect of Total alkaloids is cytostatic at low concentration,with LC50 for this cells being 41.271μg·mL-1,respectively,but it becomes mainly cytotoxic at high concentration,with GI50 for SGC-7901 being 244·932μg·mL-1,respectively.Total alkaloids can induce apoptosis in tumor cells.Forty-eight hours after they are treated with total alkaloids of different concentrations,SGC-7901 cells are stained with Hoechst33258 fluorochromes.Observation using a fluorescence microscope reveals that total alkaloids can cause the chromatin in tumor cell nuclei to condense and fragment.The nuclei condense into a uniform,dense mass and then break up.Sprouts keep on forming on the cell membrane and then dropping off,so that the cell breaks up into several apoptotic bodies of different sizes.As total alkaloids concentration is increased,these morphological changes under the microscope become more and more clear,indicating that the proportion of cells undergoing apoptosis is gradually increasing.After treating with 75,150 and 300μg·mL-1 of the total alkaloids in C.S for 72 h,the apoptotic rates of SGC-7901 cells were 8.7%,14.309%,0.819%.Conclusions Inducing apoptosis is one of the anti-cancer mechanism of total alkaloids of C.S.

文摘Directed capillary ingrowth has long been considered synonymous with tumor vascularization.However,the vasculature of primary tumors and metastases is not necessarily formed by endothelial cell sprouting;instead,malignant tumors can acquire blood vessels via alternative vascularization mechanisms,such as intussusceptive microvascular growth,vessel co-option,and glomeruloid angiogenesis.Importantly,in response to anti-angiogenic therapies,malignant tumors can switch from one vascularization mechanism to another.In this article,we briefly review the biological features of these mechanisms and discuss on their significance in medical oncology.

文摘Tank-mix adjuvant has the potential to improve the weed control efficacy of post-emergence herbicides. In order to study the synergistic effect of adjuvant, the effects of different rates of fomesafen alone or applied methylated soybean oil adjuvant（MSO） were sprayed on redroot pigweed, abutilon and black nightshade under greenhouse condition. The results showed that fomesafen had different performance on the three weeds, and MSO adjuvant could effectively increase the control. The nightshade control was lower than other two weeds with all the fomesafen doses from 131.25 to 506.25 ga.i. · hm-2 with or without adjuvant. The control of abutilon was between the black nightshade and the redroot pigweed, and had better control at 375 ga.i. · hm-2 with adjuvant or 506.25 ga.i. · hm-2 alone or with adjuvant respectively. The results indicated that mixing adjuvant with fomesafen improved the control on weeds, especially at the low rate. Black nightshade was more difficult to control. The redroot pigweed had the most susceptibility to fomesafen alone or with adjuvant.

文摘The dispute settlement mechanism(DSM) has long been the focus of attention because of its significant role in the institutional construction of China's free trade agreements(FTAs). Thus, this paper is to make an analysis of the DSMs of China's established FTAs from a legal perspective of international regime study, which leads to the finding of a co-existence mode of formal and informal DSMs in China's FTAs. This paper also discusses the motivation and significance of such a choice.
文摘Objective To make a review about MAPK and apoptosis of tumor cells.Methods We collected a large number of related experimental papers,and summarized key points.Results mitogen activated protein kinase(MAPK)is one of the four biggest signal transduction systems which contain four subtribes named p38,ERK5,ERK and JNK/SAPK respectively.MAPK pathways constitute numerous modular network that regulates a variety of physiological processes,such as cell growth,roliferation,differentiation,and apoptotic cell death.Specially,the function of induced apoptosis in tumor cells has gradually become main focus.Both in-vitro and ex-vivo findings demonstrated that in apoptotic tumor cells the level of phosphorylation of JNK kinase is significantly improved.That means JNK kinase is activated in these tumor cells.At the same time,contrary to JNK kinase,the activity of ERK kinase is usually weakened.So,for most apoptotic tumor cells,JNK is a positive factor,however,ERK kinases is a negative factor.As for the p38 kinase,which can be activated to outside stimulus,also has the promotion of apoptosis.Importantly,ERK kinase activity is suppressed by JNK/p38 kinase during apoptosis induction.Further study demonstrate that the regulatory mechanisms of MAPK in apoptotic tumor cells are:working on upstream of caspase;starting death receptor channel;activating pro-apoptotic Bcl-2 protein family;changing mitochondrial permeability;participating in Fas/Fasl-mediated apoptosis;enhancing the expression of TNF-a and so on.Conclusions The relationship between MAPK and apoptosis of tumor cells is intimate.It is expected to be a new target for tumor in clinical treatment.
文摘Hepatocellular carcinoma(HCC)is one of the leading causes of cancer-related death in the world.The carcinogenesis of HCC is multifactorial,multifunctional and multistage.Tumor suppressor gene therapy is one of the strategies,it is mainly used to make use of tumor suppressor gene groups which can inhibit the cell growth,to prevent the expression of oncogenes or to resume the function of anti-oncogenes.But so far,there is not a particular gene to be a main tumor suppressor gene in HCC.Therefore,it is necessary to study on the new anti-oncogenes to explain pathogenesis of liver cancer and seek for the newly effective target to carry on liver cancer gene therapy.PTEN(phosphatase and tensin homolog deleted on chromosome ten)was discovered as a tumor suppressor gene.It functions as a protein tyrosine phosphatase and as a lipid phosphatase.As a lipid phosphatase,PTEN antagonizes PI3K/Akt signaling by dephosphorylating the D3 position of the inositol ring of phosphatidylinositol 3,4,5-trisphosphate(PIP3),to generate phosphatidylinositol-4,5,-biphosphate(PIP2).On the other hand,as a protein tyrosine phosphatase,PTEN can dephosphorylate itself,focal adhesion kinase(FAK)and the platelet derived growth factor receptor,involves in the migration,adhension of cells.Many researches have been testified that there is a higher frequency of negative expression of PTEN protein in hepatocellular carcinoma,the negative correlation between expression of PTEN gene and differential grade,clinic stage of HCC indicated that in activation of PTEN gene maybe a late incidence in the development of hepatocellular carcinoma and may play an important role in the genesis and development of some hepatocellular carcinoma.KLF6,a member of Krupple-like gene family,a ubiquitously expressed zinc finger transcription factor,has an important role in regulating cell growth and differentiation.Several experiments have been proved that the genetic events of tumor suppressor gene mutation and loss of allele of KLF6 gene were presented frequently in HCC.These results indicate that KLF6 may be a candidate tumor suppressor gene of HCC and plays a role during the hepatocarcinogenesis and progression of HCC.P16 gene is also called multiple tumor suppressor l(MTS1).It is the specific inhibitor of CDK4(cyclin dependent kinase 4,CDK 4).It can induce cell cycle arrest in G1 to S phase by inhibiting CDK4.The p16 gene acts in the HCC development and deletion,mutation or methylation of p16 gene are usually found in HCC.In a word,the wild-type p16 may play an important role in tumor suppression and initiate cell senescence beginning by the mechanism of inducing cell telomeric shortening and growth arrest.

文摘Pancreatic carcinoma is the most common pancreatic neoplasm characterized by latentmorbidit,poor prognosis,high mortality rate and limited choice of treatment.Quite a lot studies focused on its pathogenesis,and showed molecular genetic alterations,which derived of genetic and environmental factors and played an important role in tumorigenesis.Recently,more and more findings laid particular emphasis on the changes of gene molecule and some were confirmed in vitro and in vivo.In this paper,we made a review and summarized the arked molecular changes and signalings of the four pathways to understand their functions in Pancreatic carcinoma.The most important changes concentrate on K-RAS,p16 INK4a,P53 and SMAD4 gene,secondly,the changes of p14ARF,TGF-β,LKB1/STK11,BRCA2 and growth factor Hedgehog and Notch path way and Telomere also play a important role in pancreatic carcinoma.The vast majority(83%)of pancreatic carcinomas had a distinctive genetic fingerprint,comprising activation of the K-ras oncogene and inactivation of the p16 gene,generally also accompanied by alterations in the p53 gene(in 76%of the tumors).The activation of K-ras appears nearly to be a prerequisite for the development of pancreatic carcinoma.Also,the binary alteration of K-ras and p16 is an extremely uncommon combination among other human tumor types.This particular genetic imprint of pancreatic carcinomas could have diagnostic utility in the evaluation of patients with metastatic adenocarcinoma of unknown primary origin.The evaluation of genetic alterations as they naturally occur in humantumors allows the formulation of hypotheses concerning the biological processes that involve human tumongenesis.A central tenet of tumori genesis,that positive selection is exerted upon those tumor cells that alterrate-limiting regulatory pathways,implies that mutation of one gene abrogates the need for inactivation of another gene in the same tumor suppressive pathway.It follows,therefore,from the genetic profile of pancreatic carcinoma that K-ras,p53,pi6,DPC4,and BRCA2 each belong to a distinct tumor-suppressive pathway.The concept of distinct tumor-suppressive pathways,however,should not exclude the possibility of cooperative interactions between the pathways.In this series,for example,DPC4gene inactivation was limited to tumors with genetic inactivation of the p16 gene.The involvement of the p13,p16,and DPC4 pathways in pancreatic carcinoma is likely to be even greater than suggested by our current mutational analysis.For example,we have not yet addressed the mutational status of the RBi gene,which participates in the same pathway as p16 and has been reported to be mutated in about 7%of pancreaticcarcinomas.Also,methylation abnormalities that might abrogate the expression of the p16 protein have yet to be evaluated in our collection of pancreatic carcinomas.The identification of such additional genetic targets would improve the description of the genetic profile of pancreatic carcinoma and thus enhance our understanding of the tumor-suppressive pathways that are involved in the development of this tumor type.
文摘Objective To study on the mechanism of killing and apoptosis inducing effect of total alkaloid in the CSA(Capparis spinosa L.alkaloid,CSA)on human hepatocarcinoma cell Line HepG-2.Methods The killing effect of the CSA on human hepatocarcinoma cell Line HepG-2 was measured by MTT method.Morphological observation of the HepG-2 cells was completed by fluorescence microscope.The apoptosis inducing effect and changing of mitochondria membrane potential of the CSA on the HepG-2 cells were measured by flow cytometry.In addition,effect of intracellular Ca2+level of the CSA on the HepG-2 cells was studied by laser confocal microscope.Results The CSA has obvious cytotoxicity on the HepG-2 and seems to be dose-dependent,and its IC50 value is 162.4μg·mL-1.The HepG-2 cells have characteristic morphologic changes of apoptosis by the function of CSA,and the apoptosis percentage is higher than the natural one.The progress of cells cycle from S phase to G2 phase has been blocked,and the mitochondria membrane potential is markedly decreased,and the intracellular Ca2+level is increased by the function of CSA.Conclusions The CSA has obviously killing and apoptosis inducing effect on human hepatocarcinoma cell Line HepG-2 by the mechanism of decreasing the mitochondria membrane potential and increasing the intracellular Ca2+level.
文摘This study explores the perspectives and challenges faced by family members providing mental support to cancer patients in Beijing,China.The primary objective is to understand the emotional and practical roles family members undertake and the difficulties they encounter.Utilizing a qualitative research design,data were collected through semi-structured interviews with family caregivers of cancer patients.Thematic analysis revealed several key themes:the dual burden of emotional support and caregiving responsibilities,the impact on daily life and personal well-being,the role and effectiveness of external support systems,perceptions of medical staff support,and the common challenges and conflicts faced in caregiving.The findings highlight the critical need for comprehensive support systems that address both the emotional and practical needs of family caregivers.Recommendations for enhancing family-centered support programs in oncology settings are discussed.
文摘Survivin was firstly separated in hybridization of Effector Cell Protease Receptor-1(EPR-1)cDNA in human genome by Yale University's Ambrosini in 1997,which is member of the inhibitor of apoptosis proteins(IAPS).Unlike other IAP protein,found during embryonic and fetal development,survivin wascompletely down-regulated and undetectable in normal adult tissues,and became prominentlyre expressed in all of the most common cancers.It through includes the cysteine/histidine rod-shaped viral IAP repetition sequence baculoviral IAP repeats(BIRs)the structure territory directly or intervenes Caspases the function to display indirectly its anti-perishes weakly the function,simultaneously it also is in the cell division process the chromosome traveler protein(chromosome passenger protein).There are three approaches by which survivin inhibits the processing of apoptosis:(1)inhibits processing of down stream effector caspase-3,caspase-7and caspase-9 in cell receiving apoptotic stimuls;(2)with the Smac/DIABLO function,sends the XIAP activeness to increase,XIAP through directly affects and restrains its function with caspases,achieved restrains function which perishes weakly;(3)through restrains p53 the function to block perishes weakly the process.Survivin expressed specificity and its function multiplicity.Survivin only expresses in tumor tissues and cannot be found in normal terminally differentiated tissues.This kind of expression is been extremely low the cell cycle strict regulation in the G1 time expression,the S time is G1 time 6 times,the G2/M time advances to 40 times,demonstrated its expression has the G2/M time dependence specificity.It has bi-function of inhibiting apoptosis and involving in cell cycle control.Survivin has found in most of tumor cells in recently researches.Survivin expresses generally in all tumor cell line in the American State-run Cancer Research institute anti-tumor medicine screening procedure 60 different tumor cells,in which expresses in the mammary gland cancer cell and the lung cancer cell highly,expresses in the kidney cancer lowly.Survivin except in tumor cell high expression,at breast cancer,tumor in front of and so on endometrium cancer,cervical cancer cancers in the pathological change has the expression.Survivin is over expressed in early malignant,which brokes the balance of proliferation and apoptotic,causes the occurrence of tumor.Obviously,survivin is closely related to the uncontrolled growth carcinogenesis,development and tumorigenesis.Because Survivin in tumor organization's special expression and perishes weakly in the suppression cell and adjusts in the cell division the vital role,causes it to become one to have the latent application value tumor designated object and the tumor treatment new target spot.The recent research of survivin in the development,treatment and situation of tumor is introduced.
