第10号染色体缺失的磷酸酶张力蛋白同源物基因(PTEN)是迄今为止发现的第一个具有双重特异性磷酸酶活性的肿瘤抑制基因.近年研究结果表明,PTEN与特发性肺纤维化、心肌纤维化甚至肝纤维化的发生、发展均有一定的相关性[1-2].我们前期研究结果证实,PTEN参与了体内肝星状细胞(HSCs)的活化、增殖[3].但PTEN低表达对体外活化HSCs胶原代谢的影响尚鲜见报道.为此,本研究通过构建HSCs的PTEN低表达模型,探讨阻断PTEN表达对活化HSCs的Ⅰ、Ⅲ型胶原代谢和基质金属蛋白酶(MMPs)及其抑制因子(TIMPs)表达的影响. 关键词:肝星状细胞;基质金属蛋白酶;胶原Ⅰ型;胶原Ⅲ型;PTEN;RNA干扰
Results: Accomopanied by decreased TIMP-1 expression (55% reduction) of liver tissue in AAV/siRNA-TIMP-1 group, AAV/siRNA-TIMP-1 administration attenuated fibrosis severity, as determined by fibrosis scores (3.8±0.8)compared with the CCl 4 -treated group (2.5±0.7)(P = 0.001).Compared with CCl 4 -treated group, the concentration of type I and type III collagen in serum, the hydroxyproline content of liver tissue in AAV/siRNA-TIMP-1 group was decreased by 35%-50%.Western bolt showed AAV/siRNA-TIMP-1 treatment decreased the expression of active-MMP2 and increased the expression of active-MMP13.Furthermore, administration of AAV/siRNA-TIMP-1 resulted in a marked decrease in a-SMA and TGF-b staining of histological section confirmed by the detection of mRNA and protein level of these two markers in liver tissue.Conclusions: Administration of AAV/siRNA-TIMP-1 attenuated CCl 4 -induced rat liver fibrosis by suppressing the expression of TIMP-1 which directly elevating the function of MMP13, and indirectly decreasing expression of Col I, MMP2 and TGF-b1, which were potent factors in liver fibrogenesis.
μg/ml, ~40% after 24 hours).Gal-9 significantly reduced profibrogenic COL1A1, COL3A1, TGF-β1, MMP-2, TIMP-1,CTGF, and simultaneously increased profibrolytic MMP-1,-3, -9,-13 transcripts in LX-2 cells.Lactose, but not sucrose (50 mM), specifically blocked Gal-9 effects on HSC.Gal-9 also reversed the profibrogenic effects of TGF-β1 on LX-2 cells.A blocking antibody to TIM-3 partly abrogated the effects of Gal-9 on HSC.Conclusions: Gal-9 exerts antifibrotic effects via induction of apoptosis and stimulation of putatively fibrolytic genes in HSC.Gal-9 represents a naturally expressed potential antifibrotic agent for the treatment of liver fibrosis.
Objective: To investigate the serum levels of soluble macrophage colony-stimulating factor receptor (M-CSFsR) in normal subjects and patients with hematological diseases and its clinical implications in hematological diseases. Methods: The concentration of M-CSFsR was determined by ELISA. The serum M-CSFsR was identified and characterized by immunoprecipitation and Western blotting. Results: The mean serum level of M-CSFsR of 123 normal individuals was 0.48 ng/ml ± 0.41 ng/ml. Immunoprecipitation and Western blotting assay revealed a ∼ 90kD band of serum M-CSFsR. The mean serum M-CSFsR level of 60 patients with acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL), 36 patients with acute myeloblastic leukemia (AML), 13 patients with myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) and 42 patients with aplastic anemia (AA) .were 0.22 ng/ml±0.23 ng/ml, 0.17 ng/ml±0.16 ng/ml, 0.19 ng/ml±0.16 ng/ml and 0.23 ng/ml±0.21 ng/ml, respectively, which were significantly lower than that of normal subjects (P=0.002 ,P<0.0001,P<0.0001 andP<0.0001). The mean serum M-CSFsR level of 51 idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura (ITP) patients was significantly higher than that of normal subjects (2.05 ng/ml±2.75 ng/ml,P<0.0001). Conclusion: The serum M-CSFsR levels of patients with ALL, AML, MDS and AA were significantly lower, while the level of patients with ITP was significantly higher than that of normal individuals. Patients with severe ITP (platelet count<30×l09/L) had the highest M-CSFsR level. It suggested that the abnormal levels of serum M-CSFsR may associate with some hematological diseases and may contribute to the pathological process.
我国为全球病毒性肝炎的高发区,而经血液途径造成的肝炎正因其日益增多而越来越引起重视。为此,笔者在1998年间对253名血液病患者作了乙型肝炎病毒(HBV)、丙型肝炎病毒(HCV)及庚型肝炎病毒(HGV)检测,了解血液病患者肝炎病毒感染状况,现将检测结果报告如下。

Objective: To explore the blood component selection and transfusion for patients undergoing major ABO incompatible allogenic stem cell transplantation.Methods: ABO blood group was identified in recipients and donors of allogenic stem cell transplantation, and the blood component and amount, the time for RBC blood group transversion and stem cell engraftment were analyzed in 28 patients undergoing ABO incompatible transplantation. Results: Compared with patients undergoing ABO compatible transplantation, the time for blood group transversion was significantly prolonged (P 0.01 )and more RBC transfusions were required in 15 patients undergoing major ABO incompatible transplantation (P 0.05 ). And the amount of RBC transfusions was also higher in 13 patients undergoing minor ABO incompatible transplantation (P 0.05 ). The time for stem cell engraftment and the platelet concentrates transfusions were not significantly different between patients undergoing ABO compatible and incompatible transplantation.Conclusion:RBCs and platelet with me not destroyed by the recipients′ serum agglutinin were required for patients undergoing ABO incompatible allogenic stem cell transplantation.
造血干细胞移植前,对供受者双方要进行血型鉴定.ABO血型不合可以进行干细胞移植,移植期间及移植后患者血型的变化,不仅是红细胞血型标志发生了改变,而且在输血疗法中也应引起注意.笔者对28名ABO血型不合的干细胞移植患者的血型转变情况作了观察.
Objective: To verify the antigen association of MAF-J6-1 receptor with M-CSFR and to further study the role of M-CSF and its receptor mediated juxtacrine in promoting leukemic cell proliferation. Methods: Monoclonal antibody (McAb) of MAF-J6-1R RE2 and polyclonal antibody (PolyAb) of rhM-CSFR were prepared. The specificity of McAb RE2 to M-CSFR was confirmed by indirect ELISA, cross-neutralizing assay with J6-1 cell colony formation and neutralization test by ELISA. Results: the reactive activity of purified RE2 to M-CSFR was over 1: 16000. The inhibitory activity of M-CSFR and MAF-J6-1R could be blocked by RE2 and anti-M-CSFR antibody. The reactivity of RE2 to M-CSFR could be reduced by M-CSFR. Conclusion: The specificity of RE2 to M-CSFR was confirmed and the antigen association of MAF-J6-1R with M-CSFR was proved. It suggests that M-CSF and its receptor mediated auto-juxtacrine stimulation could be an operative mechanism in either leukemia or nonhematological malignancies.
We developed two complement-fixing MoAbs HIM1 and HIM4 (murine) that were specifically reactive with chronic myelogenous leukemia (CML) cells. They were capable of fixing human or rabbit complement and suitable for CML cells purging of remission marrow from CML patients. HIM1 reacted with majority leukemic cells from 7 out of 10 CML patients by complement-mediated cytotoxicity (CMC) assay (positive cells 80%–90%), HIM4 reacted with majority CML cells from 4 out of 5 CML by CMC assay (positive cells 80%–90%). Treatment with HIM1 or HIM4 and human C′ was capable of lysing 97% of K562, U937, HL-60 and CML cells in a 20 fold excess of unrelated cells by indirect FITC+EB stain. Using limited dilution culture, incubation with HIM1 and C′ produced 1.5 logs inhibition of growth in K562 cells, and 1.9 logs in U937 cells, and with HIM4 and C′ produced 2.9 logs inhibition in HL-60 cells and 3.0 logs in U937 cells. Both MoAbs cocktail was shown 1.8 logs in K562 cells and 3.2 logs in U937 cells. They were no suppression on the growth of CFC-GM.
