The tissue-specific and MeJA-induced transcriptional levels of BcUGT3 and BcUGT6 in Bupleurum chinense were analyzed in the present study. The transcriptional levels of BcUGT3 in root, leaf, flower and fruit were similar and they all were higher than those in stem. The transcriptional level of BcUGT6 was the highest in leaf and the lowest in flower among in all tested tissues. With non-treated adventitious roots as control, BcUGT6's transcriptional levels were elevated to nearly 2 folds for 2 h, 8 h, 24 h, 2 d and 4 d in MeJA-treated adventitious roots of B. chinense. It showed that the transcriptional level of BcUGT6 was slightly affected by MeJA. While, BcUGT3's transcriptional levels were gradually elevated, and till 4 d after MeJA treatment, the expression level was about 7 folds than that of non-treated control. Using pET-28a (+), the expressions of two genes was investigated. Induced by IPTG, the target proteins were expressed in E. coli and then purified. All the results obtained in the present study will be helpful for follow-up bio-function analysis of BcUGT3 and BcUGT6.

Epidermal growth factor receptor tyrosine kinase inhibitors (EGFR-TKIs) have become first-line treatment drugs for lung adenocarcinoma patients with EGFR gene mutations. Significant interindividual variations in response rate, progression-free survival (PFS), and overall survival (OS) have been observed. The expression level of nuclear factor erythroid-2-related factor 2 (Nrf2) is related to chemoresistance against platinum drugs. Nrf2 overexpression can inhibit the sensitivity of EGFR-TKIs in cells with EGFR-sensitive mutations. The aim of this study is to investigate the protein expression level of Nrf2 in lung adenocarcinoma patients with EGFR gene mutations and to elucidate the correlation between Nrf2 expression and response rate of first-line EGFR-TKIs, as well as PFS and OS.
