Objective To explore the proliferation mechanism of acute myeloid leukemia cell line GDM-1 by the method of protein kinase inhibition. Methods GDM-1 cells were divided into experimental group and control group according to different treatment. Experimental group was treated with 10 different protein kinase inhibitors, the control group was treated with DMSO, and the inhibition of cell proliferation was detected by CCK8 method. The phosphorylation level of key protein kinases in GDM-1 after treatment with linifanib, bosutinib, sorafenib were detected by Western blot.GDM-1 cells were treated with cytokine M-CSF alone or combined with protein kinase inhibitors, cell proliferation was detected by CCK8 method. Results Protein kinase inhibition analysis showed that dasatinib (IC50=0.01 μmol/L), bosutinib(IC50=0.07 μmol/L), linifanib (IC50=0.13 μmol/L) and sorafenib (IC50= 0.12 μmol/L) significantly inhibited the proliferation of GDM-1 cells. Western blot analysis showed that the phosphorylation level of Src and ERK in GDM-1 was decreased (P＜0.01) when treated with linifaninb. The proliferation of GDM-1 was 11.3 times as much as that of control group when stimulated with M-CSF. The proliferation of GDM-1 was dramatically inhibited when incubated with the combination of M-CSF and bosutinib (P＜0.001), but it was not significantly inhibited when incubated with M-CSF plus HG6-64-1. Conclusions CSF1R-Y571D mutation of GDM-1 cells increases the activity of CSF1R, and promotes cell proliferation by activating Src and MAPK signaling pathways.

The present study aimed to investigate the composition of the terpene synthase(TPS) gene family in Gynostemma pentaphyllum and its role in abiotic stresses. The G. pentaphyllum TPS gene family was identified and analyzed at the genome-wide level using bioinformatics analysis, and the expression patterns of these family members were analyzed in different tissues of G. pentaphyllum as well as under various abiotic stresses. The results showed that there were 24 TPS gene family members in G. pentaphyllum with protein lengths ranging from 294 to 842 aa. All of them were localized in the cytoplasm or chloroplasts and unevenly distributed on the 11 chromosomes of G. pentaphyllum. The results of the phylogenetic tree showed that the G. pentaphyllum TPS gene family members could be divided into five subfamilies. As revealed by the analysis of promoter cis-acting elements, TPS gene family members in G. pentaphyllum were predicted to respond to a variety of abiotic stresses such as salt, low temperature, and dark stress. The analysis of gene expression patterns in different tissues of G. pentaphyllum revealed that nine TPS genes were tissue-specific in expression. The qPCR results showed that GpTPS16, GpTPS17, and GpTPS21 responded to a variety of abiotic stresses. This study is expected to provide references in guiding the further exploration of the biological functions of G. pentaphyllum TPS genes under abiotic stresses.

We study the relationship between the structures of the nonlinear localized waves and the distribution characteristics of the modulation stability regime in a nonlinear fiber with both third-order and fourth-order effects. On the background frequency and background amplitude plane, the modulation stability region consists of two symmetric curves on the left and right and a point on the symmetry axis. We find that the higher-order excitation characteristics are obviously different at different positions in the modulation stability region. Their excitation characteristics are closely related to the modulation instability distribution characteristics of the system. It is shown that asymmetric high-order rational solitons are excited at the left and right stable curves, and the symmetric one is excited at the stable points. Interestingly, the asymmetric higher-order rational solitons on the left and right sides are mirror-symmetrical to each other, which coincides with the symmetry of the modulation instability distribution. These results can deepen our understanding of the relationship between nonlinear excitation and modulation instability and enrich our knowledge about higher-order nonlinear excitations.

Based upon the intramolecular charge transfer (ICT) mechanism, a novel ratiometric fluorescent probe EB was developed to detect SO 3 2- /HSO 3 - . The probe displayed both colorimetric and ratiometric responses toward SO 3 2- /HSO 3 - . It displayed a quick response (within 60 s), good selectivity and high sensitivity (a detection limit of 28 nM) towards SO 3 2- /HSO 3 - . The SO 3 2- /HSO 3 - sensing mechanism was confirmed as the Michael addition reaction by ESI-MS. Moreover, the probe could be applied to measure the level of sulfite in real samples, like sugar and chrysanthemum, and it could also be used to detect SO 3 2- /HSO 3 - in HepG2 cells through confocal fluorescence microscopy, which proved its practical application in clinical diagnosis.

We investigate linear interference effects between a nonlinear plane wave and bright solitons, which are admitted by a pair-transition coupled two-component Bose-Einstein condensate. We demonstrate that the interference effects can induce several localized waves possessing distinctive wave structures, mainly including anti-dark solitons, W-shaped solitons, multi-peak solitons, Kuznetsov-Ma like breathers, and multi-peak breathers. Specifically, the explicit conditions for them are clarified by a phase diagram based on the linear interference properties. Furthermore, the interactions between these localized waves are discussed. The detailed analysis indicates that the soliton-soliton interaction induced phase shift brings the collision between these localized waves which can be inelastic for solitons involving collision and can be elastic for breathers. These characters come from the fact that the profile of solitons depends on the relative phase between bright solitons and a plane wave, and the profile of breathers does not depend on the relative phase. These results would motivate more discussions on linear interference between other nonlinear waves. Specifically, the solitons or breathers obtained here are not related to modulational instability. The underlying reasons are discussed in detail. In addition, possibilities to observe these localized waves are discussed in a two species Bose-Einstein condensate.

A continuous measurement was conducted in Yixing city urban area from 24 th August to 15 th September using TH-300B continuous online GC-MS instrument during G20 summit in Hangzhou, 2016. The VOCs average mass concentrations of alkane, alkene, aromatic, acetylene, haloalkane hydrocarbons, OVOC and acetonitrile were 11.00×10 -9 , 1.93×10 -9 , 5.78×10 -9 , 1.23×10 -9 , 4.16×10 -9 , 10.37×10 -9 , 0.27×10 -9 , respectively. The photochemical reaction activity was calculated by using the maximum potential coefficient of Ozone Formation Potential. Alkene and aromatic hydrocarbons were the most active components of OFP. By applying the positive matrix factorization(PMF)model, five major factors were extracted to identify the sources of NMHCs in Yixing city, including industry(42.2%),vehicle exhaust(17.9%), fuel evaporation(20.8%), paint/solvent usage(7.0%)and plant(12.1%). Combined with the conditional probability function(CPF) analysis, source of anthropogenic pollution was related to the distribution of industrial enterprises in the northwest and southeast, while the plant source was related to the forest hilly region of Southwest Yixing city. The effect of air pollutant emission reduction showed that the primary emission air pollutants had declined significantly during the strict control period from 1 th to 6 th September in G20 summit,2016, and the industry proportion was reduced to 30.5%, whereas the plant proportion increased to 16.8%.

Objective: To explore expression ratio alteration between WT1 gene and its isomers during differentiation of leukemia cell line HL-60 induced by all-trans retinoic acid (ATRA) and the relationship existed between them., Methods: The degree of cellular maturation was verified by NBT reduction test and immunophenotyping. Expression of unspliced WT1, WT1 (17AA+) and WT1 (KTS+) were determined by real-time fluorescence quantitative RT-PCR during the induced differentiation of HL-60 cells. The relative ratio of four splicing variants WT1 (+/+), WT1 (+/-), WT1 (-/+), WT1 (-/-) were analyzed., Results: During the induced differentiation of HL-60 cells, NBT reduction rate and CD11b positive rate increased significantly (P < 0.05 and P < 0.001, respectively). The expression of WT1 gene decreased from (4.17 +/- 2.21) x 10(-3) at 0 hour to (7.53 +/- 2.30) x 10(-4) at the 96th hour. The ratio of 17AA+decreased from 0.60 +/- 0.05 at 0 hour to 0.42 +/- 0.08 at the 96th hour. The ratio of KTS+ decreased from 0.53 +/- 0.08 at 0 hour to 0.41 +/- 0.04 at the 96th hour. The ratio of WT1 (+/+) decreased gradually from 0.32 +/- 0.06 at 0 hour to 0.17 +/- 0.03 at the 96th hour. Change of ratios of other two isomers not significant., Conclusions: During the induced differentiation of HL-60 cells, WT1 gene expression decreases gradually. The phenotype of the majority of uninduced HL-60 cells is WT1 (+/+), in contrast to WT1 (-/-) phenotype after the induction of cell differentiation, indicating that WT1 gene may participate in the regulation of hematopoietic cell differentiation through modulation of the expression ratios of its four spliced variants.
