The invention discloses recombinant halomonas, a construction method of the recombinant halomonas and application of the recombinant halomonas to preparation of itaconic acid by catalyzing citric acid. The construction method of the recombinant halomonas is characterized by comprising the following steps of: integrating an Mmp1 RNA polymerase expression unit on a wild type halomonas sp. TD01 genome, and replacing an initiation codon ATG of an icd gene of the genome with TTG to obtain Halomonas sp. TD2.0; sequentially introducing a high-copy expression vector pN59-PMmp1-RBS-cadA-acn and a low-copy expression vector pN85-PMmp1-RBS-GroESL-PMmp1-RBS-acn into the Halomonas sp. TD2.0; and obtaining the recombinant halomonas sp. IA02. The itaconic acid can be efficiently prepared through cell catalysis of the bacterium. The recombinant halomonas is short in period, simple, convenient and high in yield.

In another aspect, the present invention relates to the stratification of therapy regimen of endometrial tumor, ovarian cancer, breast cancer, non-small lung cancer or hormone refractory prostate cancer therapy in an individual or monitoring therapeutic efficacy in an individual suffering from the same based on the expression status of STMN1 gene or protein. Moreover, the present invention relates to a kit for use in any of the above referenced methods comprising a means for determining amplifications and deletions of chromosomal regions 3q26.32 and 12p12.1, determining alterations of the gene expression profile of the genes (gene signature): upregulation of the genes PLEKHK1, ATP10B, NMU, MMP1, ATAD2, NETO2, TNNI3, PHLDA2, OVOL1 and down-regulation of the genes: NDP, KIAA1434, MME, CFH, MOXD1, SLC47A1, RBP1, PDE8B, ASRGL1, ADAMTS19, EFHD1, ABCA5, NPAS3, SCML1, TNXB, ENTPD3, AMY1A, ENPP, RASL11B, PDZK3, or the expression status of the STMN1 gene or protein, respectively. Finally, the present invention provides a method for predicting the response to taxanes in an individual suffering from a disease treated with the taxanes based on the expression status of the STMN1 gene or protein.

The invention belongs to the field of cosmetics and particularly relates to an anti-aging composition and preparation and application thereof. The anti-aging composition is prepared from the following ingredients in parts by weight: 1 to 3 parts of hydrolyzed pearl powder, 1 to 3 parts of dioscorea villosa root extract, 0.5 to 2 parts of acetyl hexapeptide-8, 0.5 to 2 parts of acetyl octapeptide-3 and 0.5 to 2 parts of nonapeptide-1. Experiments prove that the anti-aging composition disclosed by the invention has an extremely obvious removing effect on quiescent wrinkles, dynamic wrinkles and posture extrusion wrinkles, meanwhile can obviously promote multiplication of human skin fibroblast, extremely obviously promotes synthesis of I and III type collagen and extremely obviously inhibits expression of MMP1 and MMP3.
