The circular RNA; circHIPK3 is abundantly expressed in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) and; promotes tumourgenesis. However, a role for circHIPK3 has not been; systematically examined in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). In this; study, we investigated whether circHIPK3 has an effect on cell; proliferation in the NSCLC cell lines NCI-H1299 and NCI-H2170 and the; underlying molecular mechanisms. Methods The expression of circHIPK3 was; measured by real-time PCR in NSCLC cell lines. Nuclear mass separation; experiment was used to detect the location of circHIPK3 in cells. The; gain and loss function experiments were used to examine the; proliferation of NCI-H1299 and NCI-H2170 cells by Cell Counting Kit-8; (CCK-8) and the colony formation assays. Then, circHIPK3 was cloned into; the downstream of the luciferase reporter gene which activity was; detected to verify whether miR-379 could bind with circHIPK3 or IGF1; mRNA. The protein level of IGF1 was detected by Western blot and ELISA; in circHIPK3 overexpressed/knock-down NCI-H1299 and NCI-H2170 cells.; Results CircHIPK3 was generally expressed in six kinds of NSCLC cells; lines we detected, and the expression level was highest in H2170 and; lowest in H1299. Overexpression of circHIPK3 obviously promoted; NCI-H1299 cell proliferation and knock-down of circHIPK3 inhibited; NCI-H2170 cell proliferation. In the luciferase assay, miR-379 was; observed to sequester circHIPK3 and IGF1 mRNA with potential binding; sites. Furthermore, we found that the overexpression of circHIPK3 could; increase the expression levels of IGF1 and knockdown reduced it.; Moreover, up-regulation of miR-379 rescued the phenotype induced by; overexpression of circHIPK3. Conclusion CircHIPK3 could promote cell; proliferation by a circHIPK3/miR-379 pathway in NCI-H1299 and NCI-H2170; cells and might be a potential tumor biomarker for NSCLC.国家自然科学基金项

Iron and manganese oxides enhance electron output efficiency of Clostridium pasteurianum

[Background] Fermentative dissimilatory metal-reducing bacteria, which are capable of reducing metallic oxides, get energy from fermentation. Little is known about how metallic oxides affect electron output efficiency of fermentative dissimilatory metal-reducing microorganisms. [Objective] This study was conducted to explore the influence of iron and manganese oxides (Fe_2O_3/MNO_2) on electron output efficiency. [Methods] Different concentrations of Fe_2O_3/MNO_2 were added into fermented system containing glucose and inoculated 5% C. pasteurianum. Electrochemical activity of C. pasteurianum was detected. The concentrations of Fe(Ⅱ) and Mn(Ⅱ) were measured by ferrozine spectrophotometry and formaldoxime method. Fermentation substrate and metabolites of C. pasteurianum were detected by gas chromatography and high performance liquid chromatography. Lastly, we calculated the electron output efficiency. [Results] The current density peaked with the value of about 0.93 mA/m~2. The concentrations of Fe(Ⅱ) and Mn(Ⅱ) gradually accumulated. The consumption of glucose was increased by 9.4%/7.7%, Meanwhile, acetate production was increased by 37.5%/25.0%, and butyrate production was increased by 22.7%/6.8%. Additionally, hydrogen production was increased by 21.6%/9.8%, and the total electron output efficiency was increased by 24.27%/10.82%, respectively. The pH values between experimental group and control are no significant difference. [Conclusion] This study shows that iron and manganese oxides can improve the electron output efficiency of C. pasteurianum by increasing glucose consumption and buffering pH value. The results provide evidence for revealing the effects of multivalent metal oxides on the electron output of fermentative dissimilatory metal-reducing bacteria, and further expand our understanding of the interaction mechanism between multivalent metal oxides and fermentative dissimilatory metal-reducing bacteria.</p

弹道靶上的跨音速实验

本文介绍用弹道靶作跨音速试验的新方法,在二级轻气炮上采用了二个特殊的新技术:充气放炮能发射模型达到亚音速,低充填条件能发射模型达到跨、超音速。由于初始加速度较小,发射的模型外形完整,姿态稳定;加上没有支撑干扰和小洞壁效应的优点,使弹道靶设备在跨音速实验方面有特殊的优越性,用上述技术得到了圆球跨音速流场的清晰照片,其中击波脱体距离、分离点位置、颈部宽度、尾迹形状与超音速、高超音速流动比较有明显变化。文中M≈1.010和M≈0.99的二张全流场照片是十分有意义的。最后提出一个想法,用靶场加压、降温的方法可以提高雷诺数直到10~7以上
