Abstract:Objective:To investigate the effect of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (mMSC) infusion on the reconstruction of hematopoiesis function in mice with critical irradiation injury.Methods: Female C57BL/6 mice irradiated with 8 Gy 60Co γ-rays were randomly divided into control group and mMSCs-treated group.Mice in the mMSCs-treated group received mMSC of male C57BL/6 mice.The peripheral leukocyte,platelet,and erythrocyte counts,the pathological lesions,granulocyte-macrophage progenitors (CFU-GM),and sex chromosome ratio were all examined.Results: All the animals in the control group (n=6) died of hematopoiesis exhaustion 20 days after irradiation.The peripheral leukocyte of mMSC-treated group decreased greatly after bone marrow transplantation and quickly recovered 2 weeks later; till 28 days after transplantation,it recovered to 60% of the pre-irradiation level.mMSCs infusion promoted the quick recovery of the nucleated bone marrow cells and CFU-GM,improving the marrow morphology.The transplanted mMSC could be detected in the recipients 42 days after transplantation.Conclusion: Solo-injection of mMSCs can enhance hematopoietic reconstitution in mice with critical irradiation injury. The period of imbedding is related to the dose of infusion.

Abstract:Objective:To study the effects of mda-7/IL-24 on the growth,proliferation,apoptosis of different hepatic carcinoma cell lines and the related mechanisms.Methods: A recombinant adenovirus Ad-mda-7 was constructed and was used to transfect human hepatic carcinoma cell lines (HepG2,Hep3B and PLC/PRF/5) and normal liver cell line L02.MTT assay and FACS were employed to assess the growth and apoptosis of cells; the expression of related protein expression was examined by Western blotting.The cells were treated with calpastatin Ⅰ (ALLN,25 μmol/L) for 30 min to block the endoplasmic reticulum stress (ER-stress) and the above indices were examined again.Results: Treatment with Ad-mda-7 resulted in selective inhibition of cell proliferation and induced apoptosis,especially in HepG2 cells; Ad-mda-7 showed no influence on normal cells. Pretreatment with ALLN partially inhibited the above effects of Ad-mda-7.Western blotting revealed that Ad-mda-7 induced up-regulation of BiP/GRP78 and Bax protein,activation of caspase-12,caspase-3 and phosphorylation of p38 MAPK in HepG2 cells.Blocking ER-stress with ALLN down-regulated Bax,caspase-12 expression and inhibited activation of caspase-3 and caspase-12,but showed no effect on the expression of BiP/GRP78 or phosphorylation of p38 MAPK.Conclusion: mda-7/IL-24 can cause growth inhibition and promote apoptosis of hepatic carcinoma cells through the ER-stress pathway.

Abstract:Objective:To establish a mouse hepatic cancer cell line Hca-F transfected with shRNA (small hairpin RNA) targeting annexin A7,so as to provide a basis for future study. Methods: Three shRNAs(shRNA1,2 and 3) were designed and inserted into the pSilencer vector to silence annexin A7 gene. The three pSilencer-shRNA vectors were transfected into Hca-F cells separately,and the most effective pSilencer-shRNA vector was selected based on the results of RT-PCR and Western blotting. The Hca-F cells were transfected with the most effective pSilencer-shRNA vector and the transfectants were selected by 400 μg/ml G418. The cells with annexin A7 stably knockdown were passaged and the expression of annexin A7 was confirmed by Western blotting,and the result was compared with those transfected with empty vector and normal controls.Results: The sequencing results confirmed that the sequences of the 3 shRNAs were correct,and shRNA1 was found to have the best inhibitory effect against annexin A7. Compared with normal Hca-F cells and those transfected with empty vectors,the annexin A7 protein expression was significantly down-regulated in cells transfected with pSilencer-shRNA(0.318 6 vs 0.824 3,0.798 7,P<0.05),with no significant difference found between the former 2 groups. Conclusion: We have successfully established a Hca-F cell line with annexin A7 stably down-regulated using shRNA technique,paving a way for future study.

Abstract:Objective:To prepare rabbit polyclonal antibody against human P-element-induced wimpy testis like 2 (HIWI2) protein,identify its properties and investigate its distribution in normal and tumor tissues by means of tissue chip. Methods: PIWIL2 peptide was synthesized chemically and conjugated to Keyhole limpet hemocyanin (KLH) as an immunogen. Then the PIWIL2-KLH conjugation was injected into rabbits subcutaneously to produce polyclonal antibodies. The specificity and sensitivity of antibodies were identified by ELISA and Western blotting after purification by affinity chromatography. PIWIL2 was then immuno-stained on the tissue chip to study its distribution in the normal and tumor tissues. Results: Rabbit’s antibodies against human PIWIL2 were prepared after the injection of PIWIL2-KLH conjugation subcutaneously. These antibodies were identified as PIWIL2 peptides by ELISA and Western blotting assay. PIWIL2 protein expression was tissue-specific in tumor tissues,with PIWIL2 protein found in the cytoplasm of smooth muscle cells of most normal and tumor tissues. Conclusion: The polyclonal antibodies against human PIWIL2 protein have been successfully prepared,which provides a basis for further study on the role of PIWIL2 in the pathway of miRNA/RNA.

Abstract:Objective:To explore the relationship between CDR1 and CDR2 expression and fluconazole-resistance in clinical Candida albicans strains, so as to explore the mechanism of drug-resistance in Candida albicans.Methods: The minimal inhibitory concentrations (MICs) of clinical Candida albicans strains to fluconazole were determined by broth microdilution method. The total RNA of fluconazole-susceptible and fluconazole-resistant Candida albicans strains were extracted,and the expression of the CDR1 and CDR2 genes was examined by real-time RT-PCR. The efflux of Rhodamine 6G was determined in the strains highly expressing CDR1 and CDR2 genes.Results: The incidences of CDR1 and (or) CDR2 overexpression in fluconazole-resistant strains were significantly higher than those in the fluconazole-sensitive stains. The efflux of Rhodamine 6G was significantly increased in the fluconazole-resistant strains when glucose was added, and overexpression of CDR1 and CDR2 were observed in theses strains. Some resistant strains showed no overexpression of CDR1 and CDR2.Conclusion: Fluconazole-resistance in clinical Candida albicans strains is related to the overexpression of ABC transporter proteins.Overexpression of ABC transporters can increase the efflux of drugs and therefore lead to drug-resistance. Other mechanisms may also participate in the development of drug resistance in the clinical Candida albicans strains.

Abstract:Objective:To investigate the influencing factors of cell-free fetal DNA level in the maternal plasma during blood-processing.Methods: Aliquots of blood samples from pregnant women with male fetus were processed at 6 h and 36 h after sampling.The SRY and β-globin genes and the total DNA level were quantified by real-time quantitative PCR.Death of white blood cells was assayed by flow cytometry after stained with AnnexinⅤ/PI.The plasma DNase activity was assayed by radial enzyme-diffusion method and plasma lactate dehydrogenases(LDH) by rate method.Results: A 36 hour delay in blood-processing led to a significant increase in the total DNA and decrease in the fetal DNA (SRY gene) in the maternal plasma.The ratio of fetal DNA decreased from (10.3±5.6)% at 6 h after sampling to (3.0±2.1)% at 36 h after sampling under 4℃(P<0.05).No dead cells were identified in the blood sample 6 h after sampling; however,apoptosis and necrosis of white blood cells were identified 36 h after sampling.The activity of LDH at 36 h was significantly higher than that at 6 h (P<0.05).Radial enzyme-diffusion result showed that,though greatly decreased at 4℃,the DNase was still able to degrade DNA.Conclusion: Delay in blood-processing can lead to increase of the total free DNA in maternal plasma but decrease of fetal DNA,which might be related to the death of white blood cells and degradation of fetal DNA by plasma DNase,so the extraction of fetal DNA should be done as early as possible after sampling (within 6 h).

Abstract:Objective:To study the anti-proliferation effects of thiazolidinedione compounds-troglitazone, which is a high affinity ligand of PPAR-γ , on rat pituitary adenoma GH3 cell line and explore the related mechanisms.Methods: GH3 cells were separately treated with troglitazone (10-7,10-6 and 10-5 mol/L), dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) (DMSO control group) and phenol red- and serum-free F-12 medium (blank group). MTT was used to examine the cell growth in each group and FACS was used to detect the distribution of cell cycle. Semi-quantitative RT-PCR method was utilized to determine the expression of CyclinD1 mRNA. ANOVA was used for statistical analysis.Results:The 72 h treatment with troglitazone inhibited GH3 cell proliferation in a dose-dependent manner. The treatment also induced cell cycle arrest in G1/S phase and significantly decreased the expression of CyclinD1 mRNA as compared to the other 2 groups (P<0.05).Conclusion:Troglitazone can obviously inhibit the proliferation of GH3 cells; the molecular mechanism may be the decrease of CyclinD1 mRNA due to binding to PPAR-γ.

Abstract:Objective:To study the therapeutic effect of tertiary butyl alcohol (TBA) eyedrops on selenite-induced rat cataract (simulating senile cataract) .Methods: Rat cataract model was induced by sodium selenite. The right eyes of the rats were treated with 25, 50, or 75 mmol/L TBA eyedrops (1 drop/time, 3-5 times/day); the left eyes were taken as control. The eyes were observed everyday and were examined using slit lamp at the fifth and tenth day after treatment for nuclear plaques of the lens. The maximal diameter changes of the cataract plaques were detected using vernier cursor (with the minimum division value being 0.02 mm). Meanwhile, the right eyes of normal SD rats were stimulated with 100 mmol/L TBA eyedrops (1 drop/time, 3-5times/day) to investigate the toxic effect of the eyedrops and other adverse reactions.Results: The diameter and degree of cataract plaques of the nuclear cataract in the right eyes were less than those in the left eyes, and the opacification degree in the right eyes was slighter than that in the left eyes. The TBA eyedrops had less toxicity and stimulation to the eye.Conclusion: TBA eyedrops have obvious therapeutic effect on selenite cataract.

Abstract:Objective:To observe the effect of bevacizumab on the proliferation of human heptoma cell line HepG2. Methods: The expression of vascular endothelial growth factor(VEGF) and its receptors (VEGFRs) in HepG2 cells were examined by immunocytochemical staining and RT-PCR;ELISA was used to determine the level of VEGF in culture supernatants of HepG2 cells. The proliferation of HepG2 cells was analyzed by MTT assay after treatment with rhVEGF and bevacizumab separately; the expression of VEGF was examined by RT-PCR and Western blotting. Results: VEGF and VEGFRs (Flt-1 and KDR) were expressed in human HepG2 cells. rhVEGF increased the proliferation of HepG2 cells in a dose-dependent manner within a concentration range of 0-100 ng/ml; bevacizumab inhibited the proliferation of HepG2 cells; the inhibition rates were (8.76%±1.15)%,(26.83±1.20)%,(31.87±1.30)% and (28.20±1.28)%, when the concentrations of bevacizumab were 0.1,1,10,and 20 μg/ml,respectively. Expression of VEGF in the HepG2 cells was increased by rhVEGF and inhibited by bevacizumab. Conclusion: Bevacizumab might inhibit the proliferation of HepG2 cells through blocking the effect of VEGF.

Abstract:Objective:To investigate the expression of CD40 and MMP9 in carotid atherosclerotic plaques, so as to assess the role of CD40 in the stability of the plaque and the possible mechanism. Methods: The expression of CD40 and MMP9 mRNA and protein in carotid atherosclerotic plaques obtained from carotid eversion endarterectomy (CEE) of 28 patients with high-grade stenosis (>70%) (stroke group, n=15; non-stroke group, n=13) and 8 normal postmortem arteries (control group) were detected by real-time quantification polymerase chain reaction(PCR) and Western blotting. The correlation between expression of CD40 and MMP9 was analyzed. Results: The expression of CD40 mRNA and MMP9 mRNA in the non-stroke group and stroke group was significantly higher than that in control group (P<0.01); and that of the stroke group was significantly higher than that of the non-stroke group (P<0.01). There was a linear correlation between expression of CD40 and MMP9 mRNA (r=0.964,P<0.01). Extremely rare expression of CD40 and MMP9 protein was found in the normal carotid artery; the protein expression was evidently higher in the carotid artery atherosclerosis than in the normal carotid artery, and the expression in carotid artery atherosclerosis in the stroke group was higher than that in the non-stroke group. Conclusion: The increased expression of CD40 and MMP9 in the carotid atherosclerositic plaques may be closely related to the stability of plaques.

Abstract:Objective:To study the influence of glucosidorum tripterygii tororum (GTT) and Mesalazine on the expression of IL-23, IL-17 and IL-12 in the colonic tissues of mice with rinitrobenzene sulphonic acid (TNBS)-induced acute colitis, and to study the possible mechanism. Methods: The C57BL/6 mice were divided into 4 groups, namely, a control group, a model group, a Mesalazine group and a GTT group. Colitis was induced by TNBS in the last 3 groups. The mice in the model group received no additional treatment; those in the GTT group received GTT daily by oral gavage 4 days before exposure to TNBS till the end of the experiment, and those in the Mesalazine group received Mesalazine enema solution daily 4 days before exposure till the end of the experiment. All the mice were sacrificed at 48 h after enema with TNBS. The macroscopic and histological scores of colon damage and myeloperoxidase (MPO) activity in colonic tissue were evaluated in every group. IL-23p19 and IL-17 contents in colonic tissues were measured by ELISA; the expression of IL-23p19, IL-17 and IL-12p35 mRNA in colonic tissues were examined by real-time fluorescent quantitative reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction (RT-FQ-PCR) with SYBR Green Ⅰ.Results: Compared with the model group, GTT group and Mesalazine group had significantly lower macroscopic and histological scores and MPO activity (P<0.05). Expression of IL-23p19, IL-17 and IL-12p35 mRNA in the colonic tissues of the model group was significantly higher than that of the other 3 groups(P<0.05); the expression of IL-23p19, IL-17 protein was significant higher in the model group than that in the other 3 groups (P<0.05), with no significant difference found between the later 3 groups.Conclusion: GTT, like Mesalazine, can effectively inhibit inflammation in mice with TNBS-induced

Abstract:Objective:To observe the ultrasound characteristics of galactostasis at various physiological stages,so as to improve the diagnosis of galactostasis.Methods: The ultrasound data of 56 patients with galactostasis were retrospectively analyzed and the ultrasound characteristics were summarized.The ultrasonic manifestations of different physiological stages were compared.Results: During the lactation period,there were extensive mammary duct ectasias and floating weak signals were found in the mammary duct during pure galactostasis; large non-responsive fluid areas exhibited formations of honeycomb-like multilocular fibrous septa; and these cavities ruptured with abscess when secondary infection occurred.During the later lactation period,the dilated galactophores became hypoechoic or anechoic,which,together with the dot-like echoes of residual breast milk or macular strong echoes, formed mixed signals of retention cysts.After menopause,the galactophores atrophy occurred; the accumulation of galactostasis desiccated into patches or powder,which caused thick hyperechoic dots or multiple hyperechoic streaks in the galactophores or parenchyma.Conclusion: Ultrasonic images of galactostasis vary with the physiological and pathological changes of the mammary glands,and are related to the duration of galactostasis,absorption,concentration and desiccation of lactation.

Abstract:Objective:To evaluate the effect of histopathologic factors in patients with hepatocellular carcinoma after liver transplantation(LT) on the prognosis of liver transplantation. Methods: The clinical data of 272 HCC patients, who had received liver transplantation, were retrospectively analyzed. The survival rates were analyzed using the actuarial life-table method. Multivariate and univariate COX proportional hazards model were used to investigate the correlation between histopathologic factors and survival time. Kaplan-Meier method was used to plot the curves of accumulative survival rates and Log-rank tests were used to compare the curve of the survival rates. Results: Univariate analysis using a COX model revealed that scores of model of endstage liver disease(MELD), alphafetoprotein, size of tumor, capsule invasion, Eggel’s classification, Edmonson-Steiner grade, microvascular invasion, regional lymph node metastasis and TNM staging were significantly related to the prognosis of the patient after LT(P<0.05) . Multivariate COX model analysis showed that alphafetoprotein(RR:1.459, P=0.002) , Eggel’s classification(RR:1.617, P=0.004) , microvascular invasion(RR:2.631, P<0.001) and MELD(RR:2.194, P=0.011) are independent factors of patient prognosis.Conclusion: Alphafetoprotein, Eggel’s classification, microvascular invasion and MELD are the independent prognostic factors of HCC patients after LT. More attention should be paid to the influence of MELD on prognosis of HCC patients after LT.

Abstract:Objective:To study the pharmacokinetics of the transdermal absorption of Sinomenine in patch under electroporation condition by comparing with the transdermal absorption of passive diffusion. Methods: Sinomenine was taken as a model drug and was given to rabbits by passive diffusion (PD group) or by electroporation (EP group). The plasma drug concentration was determined by HPLC. The statistical moment theory was used for analyzing the values of plasma drug concentration.Results: The AUC0→∞ was 43.396 in the EP group, which was 1.32 folds that of the PD group. The mean residence time (MRT) was 20.025 in the EP group, which was 86% of the PD group. The cmax was 1.825 in the EP group, which was 1.31 folds that of the PD group. The decrease of tmax in the EP group was 4 hours earlier than that in the PD group. Their elimination rate constants λ were the same. The drug-time curve of EP group was more smooth and slow when declining compared with that of the PD group.Conclusion: The combination of electroporation and the patch can improve the speed and extent of transdermal absorption of sinomenine, and thus enhance the bioavailability.

Abstract:Ovarian cancer is sex hormone-dependent.Gonadotropin releasing hormone (GnRH) analogues inhibit ovarian cancer not only through the hypothalamus-pituitary-gonadal axis, but also through directly inhibiting the proliferation and inducing the apoptosis via GnRH receptors on the ovarian carcinoma cells.In addition, GnRH analogues target GnRH receptors on the cancer cells and can serve as a carrier for cytotoxic agents, improving the efficiency of cytotoxic agents and lowering the side effect.In a word, treatment with GnRH analogues may be a valuable alternative for advanced and recurrent ovarian cancer.
