Abstract
The KIR2DS4 variants differ in exon 5 and play a role in hematopoietic stem cells transplantation (HSCT). A sequence-based testing (SBT) and TOPO TA cloning system identifying and distinguishing alleles of the KIR2DS4 gene was established and applied to a total of 150 Chinese-Han individuals: 75 patients received T-cell-depleted HSCT and their unrelated donors. The majority (139) of the 150 samples (92.7%) were positive for KIR2DS4. Four of the nine known KIR2DS4 alleles, KIR2DS4 *00101, *003,*004, and *007, were identified. In the haplotype A/A group, a higher risk of acute graft-versus-host disease (aGVHD) was seen when the donor carried two full-length KIR2DS4 alleles (RR 9.0 [95% CI 1.2-66.9], P = 0.010). Our findings suggested that the expression of full-length 2DS4 (*001) in A/A group may contribute to a worse clinical outcome after URD-HSCT. These data would be beneficial for the selection of suitable donors.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Tumour necrosis factor alpha (TNF-alpha) is involved in the pathogenesis of Crohn's disease (CD). However, results on the association between the polymorphisms in TNF-alpha promoter and the risk of CD are inconsistent. AIM To perform a quantitative synthesis for the genetic polymorphisms in TNF-alpha promoter and CD risk. METHODS Databases were searched (up to 2009) and 31 studies were included. Risks of CD associated with the polymorphisms in TNF-alpha promoter were assessed. RESULTS Overall, individuals with -1031 TC+CC genotype had a slightly increased risk to develop CD compared with individuals with -1031 TT genotype (OR, 1.32; 95% CI, 1.03-1.70). In the further stratified analysis, we found Asians with the -1031T>C, -863 C>A and -857 C>T variant polymorphisms have almost one and a half CD risk compared with other genotypes (OR, 1.58; 95% CI, 1.16-2.15; OR, 1.55; 95% CI, 1.18-2.02; OR, 1.54; 95% CI, 1.19-1.99 respectively). We did not find -308 G>A variant associated with CD location and disease behaviours in stratified analysis. CONCLUSIONS TNF-alpha polymorphisms in the promoter region might be used as a biomarker for CD risk prediction. Larger studies with mixed ethnicity subjects and stratified by clinical and sub clinical characteristics are needed to validate our findings.

Abstract
A novel cell line (bmGH) was established from the heart of brown-marbled grouper Epinephelus fuscoguttatus and its viral susceptibility was evaluated. The bmGH cells have been subcultured to passage 65 in Dulbecco's modified eagle medium:Ham's nutrient mixture F-12 (1:1) medium (DMEM/F12) which was further supplemented with foetal bovine serum (FBS), carboxymethyl-chitosan, basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF) and insulin-like growth factor-I (IGF-I) at 24 degrees C. The heart cells have a fibroblastic morphology and proliferated to confluence 14 days later. The cells grew at a steady rate during subsequent subculture and had a population doubling time of 40.3 h at passage 60. Karyotype analysis showed that these cells exhibited chromosomal aneuploidy with a modal chromosome number of 48. The results of viral susceptibility characterization revealed that cytopathic effects (CPE) of bmGH cells appeared after infection by two iridoviruses, turbot reddish body iridovirus (TRBIV) and lymphocystis disease virus (LCDV). A large number of TRBIV and LCDV particles were also observed in the infected bmGH cells by electron microscope examination. All of these facts indicate that the bmGH cell line established here may serve as a valuable tool for studies of cell-virus interactions and has potential applications in fish virus isolation, propagation and vaccine development.

Abstract
Abstract
Phase I/II clinical studies with rapamycin analogs in breast and other cancers have demonstrated favorable responses. However, little is known on the effects of the mTOR inhibitor on breast cancer cell metastasis, which is a major cause of morbidity and death. We developed a highly sensitive 3-dimensional (3D) proliferation/invasion assay using quantitative bioluminescence (BL) imaging and applied this assay to evaluate the effects of rapamycin on the triple negative breast cancer cell line MDA-MB231. Without cytotoxicity of rapamycin on this cell line, rapamycin at 10nM inhibited the cell migration/invasion, but not at 1nM and 100nM, which was confirmed by the time-lapse single cell tracking analysis. The quantification of cytoskeleton changes showed most potent effects of 10nM rapamycin on the MDA-MB231 cells, with the formation and rearrangement of specialized cell membrane structures and actin fiber implicated in cell motility. Then, the Panorama Cell Signaling Antibody Microarray, enabling the global comparative analysis of cell signal proteins simultaneously, was exploited to analyze the effects of rapamycin on the cellular signaling network of the MDA-MB231 breast cancer cell line. 100nM rapamycin activated the MAPK pathway obviously, through the attenuated negative feedback of activated S6K1 to PI3K-Raf, which increased the expressions of activated Jun N-terminus kinase (JNK), Erk1/2, MEK-1, Raf-pS621, and MAPK-activated protein kinase 2 (MAPKAPK2) in the cells exposed to 100nM rapamycin. MEK inhibitor U0126 or PD98059 could restore the anti-migration effects of 100nM rapamycin on the MDA-MB231 cells. Furthermore, the combination of MEK inhibitors and rapamycin performed synergism on inhibiting the cell proliferation and migration/invasion. Accordingly, rapamycin at a certain dose suppresses MDA-MB231 cell migration/invasion, and the co-targeting of mTOR and MAPK pathways enhances the inhibition on cell proliferation and migration/invasion, underscoring the potential therapeutic utility of rapamycin, and rapamycin combining with MAPK inhibitors in triple negative breast cancer progression, and the results highlight the cross-talk homeostasis of mTOR and MAPK pathways in cancer treatment.
