This study aimed to study protein expression in diabetic nephropathy (DN) rats and stem cell tissue repair based on nanomembrane concentration technology. Based on the polymer porous self-assembled nanomembrane technology, the content of total protein and albumin in the serum of rats in the control and experimental groups were measured. The obtained images were adopted to analyze the expression of cytoplasmic proteins and membrane proteins, and then the mechanism of stem cell tissue repair function was studied. The results showed that at 56 weeks of age, in contrast to control group, the total protein content in the serum of the experimental group evidently decreased. At 36 weeks of age, the cytoplasmic protein samples of diabetic rats in the experimental group were subjected to three two-dimensional protein electrophoresis. It was found that there were about 701 spots in each gel, and the matching rate was about 87.5%. In contrast to control group, 16 cytoplasmic proteins and 23 membrane proteins of the experimental group changed. The results of the differentially expressed protein analysis indicated that the change trends of protein spots. Based on polymer porous self-assembled nano-film technology, the expression of differential proteins in DN rats was analyzed, which would supplement new research assistance to the mechanism of DN.
Objective To compare the effectiveness of traditional and hybrid teaching strategies in pathophysiology and to conduct a survey of students' opinions about the hybrid teaching strategy. Methods A hybrid pathophysiology course was developed by combining traditional lectures, case- or problem-based learning, group discussion and several quizzes. A total of 167 students were assigned to the hybrid teaching group and 118 students assigned to the traditional lecture group.

Aims The main objective was to investigate the effects of the transient receptor potential cation channel subfamily V member 1 (TRPV1) on nerve regeneration following sciatic transection injury by functional blockage of TRPV1 using AMG-517, a specific blocker of TRPV1. Methods AMG-517 was injected into the area surrounding ipsilateral lumbar dorsal root ganglia 30 min after unilateral sciatic nerve transection. The number of sciatic axons and the expression of growth-associated protein-43 (GAP-43) and glial fibrillary acidic protein was examined using semithin sections, Western blot, and immunofluorescence analyses. Results Blockage of TRPV1 with AMG-517 markedly promoted axonal regeneration, especially at two weeks after sciatic injury; the number of axons was similar to the uninjured control group. After sciatic nerve transection, expression of glial fibrillary acidic protein was decreased and GAP-43 was increased at the proximal stump. However, the expression of both glial fibrillary acidic protein and GAP-43 increased significantly in AMG-517-treated groups. Conclusions TRPV1 may be an important therapeutic target to promote peripheral nerve regeneration after injury.

Objective To investigate the effect of recombinant botulinum neurotoxin serotype A heavy chain (BoNT/A heavy chain)on local proteins which are related to nerve growth after spinal cord injury in rats,and to get some experimental evidence to explain the mechanism of BoNT/A heavy chain in stimulating neuritogenesis. Methods Recombinant botulinum neurotoxin serotype A heavy chain was applied locally or intrathecally to rats with ipsilateral semi-dissociated lumbar spinal injury. Local spinal tissue was extracted for general protein expression by two dimension electrophoresis plus nitrate silver staining after different time period of injury. Based on the results of 2-D gel electrophoresis,growth-associated protein 43(GAP-43)and of superior cervical ganglion 10(SCG 10)were selected to examine the changes of their expression and distribution features under BoNT/A heavy chain administration using SDS-PAGE,western blot and immunofluorescence. Results (1)The model of spinal cord injury(SCI)in this study was an ipsilateral semi-dissociated lumbar SCI in rat. The rats showed obvious motor and sensory dysfunction in the ipsilateral hind limb.(2)The results from 2-D gel electrophoresis plus nitrate silver staining showed that the administration of BoNT/A heavy chain based on SCI altered the local protein expression pattern. The decrease or increase in the expression of some protein dots /dots group was clearly seen after single SCI. However, these changes were transformed by BoNT/A heavy chain treatment,which appeared as a reversed pattern turning toward that in control group or further increased expression upon SCI,such as the dots located respectively at 35-45 kDa and 18-25 kDa level,pI between 5-7. In addition,the expression of the two dots located at the level as above increased after SCI only, and showed further increase in their expression with BoNT/A heavy chain intervention.(3)The changes of selective GAP-43 and SCG 10 expression and distribution by western blot and immunofluorescence indicated that the administration of BONT/A heavy chain based on SCI amplified the expression of GAP-43 and SCG 10(P < 0.05). Meanwhile,the positive immuonfluorescent staining for both GAP-43 and SCG 10 mainly distributed nearby the proximal area of injury, both cytoplasm and neuronal processes were positively stained. Conclusions Intrathecal delivery of BoNT/A heavy chain increases the expression of growth-associated proteins GAP 43 and SCG 10 after SCI in rats.
Objective To investigate the effect and molecular mechanism of botulinum neurotoxin serotype A (BoNT/A) heavy chain on neuron regeneration. Methods Cell culture, rats, immunofluorescence, SDS-PAGE and western blot, etc. were adopted in this study to explore the alterations of histone-3 acetylation (acetyl-H3 ) by local treatment of BoNT/A heavy chain to spinal cord injury (SCI) in rats (in vivo) or by adding it into cell culture (in vitro). Meanwhile, the relevance of acetyl-H3 to neurite out-growth based on SCI and cell culture with BoNT/A heavy chain application was approached as well. Results The application of BoNT/A heavy chain to cultured Neuro-2a cells increased the level of H3 acetylation. The increase of H3 acetylation was paralleled with the growth of neuritogenesis. Also, the neuronal treatment of BoNT/A heavy chain to SCI promoted the re-growth of neuronal processes surrounding the lesions. The growth of neuronal processes was positively correlated to the level of H3 acetylation. During the periods of BoNT/A heavy chain treatment in vivo or in vitro, the increase of H3 acetylation showed two peaks. Conclusions BoNT/A heavy chain increased the H3 acetylation, which might be one of its neuritogenic mechanisms.
(1) Background: The botulinum toxin A (BoNT-A) heavy chain (HC) can stimulate the growth of primary motor neurites. (2) Methods: A recombinant BoNT/A HC was injected locally plus interval intrathecal catheter of BoNT/A HC to rats with ipsilateral semi-dissociated lumbar spinal cord injuries (SCIs). First, 2D gel with a silver nitrate stain was applied to detect the general pattern of protein expression. Growth associated protein 43 (GAP-43) and superior cervical ganglion 10 (SCG10) were chosen to represent the altered proteins, based on their molecular weight and pI, and were used to further detect their expression. Meanwhile, the neuronal processes were measured. The measurements of thermal hyperalgesia and grasp power at the ipsilateral hindlimb were used to evaluate spinal sensory and motor function, respectively. (3) Results: The local injection of BoNT/A HC followed by its intrathecal catheter intervally altered the spinal protein expression pattern after an SCI; protein expression was similar to normal levels or displayed a remarkable increase. The changes in the expression and distribution of phosphorylated growth associated protein 43(p-GAP 43) and superior cervical ganglion 10 (SCG 10) indicated that the administration of BoNT/A HC to the SCI significantly amplified the expression of p-GAP43 and SCG10 (p < 0.05). Meanwhile, the positive immunofluorescent staining for both p-GAP43 and SCG10 was mainly present near the rostral aspect of the injury, both in the cytoplasm and the neuronal processes. Moreover, the outgrowth of neurites was stimulated by the BoNT/A HC treatment; this was evident from the increase in neurite length, number of branches and the percentage of cells with neuronal processes. The results from the spinal function tests suggested that the BoNT/A HC did not affect sensation, but had a large role in improving the ipsilateral hindlimb grasp power (p < 0.05). (4) Conclusions: The local injection with the intermittent intrathecal administration of BoNT/A heavy chain to rats with SCI increased the local expression of GAP-43 and SCG 10, which might be affiliated with the regeneration of neuronal processes surrounding the injury, and might also be favorable to the relief of spinal motor dysfunction.

Myelin-associated glycoprotein (MAG) inhibits the growth of neurites from nerve cells. Extraction and purification of MAG require complex operations; therefore, we attempted to determine whether commercially available MAG-Fc can replace endogenous MAG for research purposes. Immunofluorescence using specific antibodies against MAG, Nogo receptor (NgR) and paired immunoglobulin-like receptor B (PirB) was used to determine whether MAG-Fc can be endocytosed by neuro-2a cells. In addition, neurite outgrowth of neuro-2a cells treated with different doses of MAG-Fc was evaluated. Enzyme linked immunosorbent assays were used to measure RhoA activity. Western blot assays were conducted to assess Rho-associated protein kinase (ROCK) phosphorylation. Neuro-2a cells expressed NgR and PirB, and MAG-Fc could be endocytosed by binding to NgR and PirB. This activated intracellular signaling pathways to increase RhoA activity and ROCK phosphorylation, ultimately inhibiting neurite outgrowth. These findings not only verify that MAG-Fc can inhibit the growth of neural neurites by activating RhoA signaling pathways, similarly to endogenous MAG, but also clearly demonstrate that commercial MAG-Fc is suitable for experimental studies of neurite outgrowth.

Objective: To observe the effect of the expressive or functional blockage of TRPV1 on nerve regeneration after sciatic trans-section injury. Methods: AMG-517, a kind of TRPV1 inhibitor, was injected into the surrounding area of the ipsilateral lumbar dorsal root ganglia while unilateral sciatic nerve was transected. A total of 24 healthy male Sprague-Dawley rats were divided into 4 groups: control group, injury only group, injury+ AMG-517 150 μg/kg group, injury+ AMG-517 300 μg/kg group. The injury only group was injected the same volume of medium. The release of CGRP from dorsal-horn of spinal cord, the number of axons at proximal stem of sciatic nerve after transection, and the expression of TRPV1 in dorsal root ganglion were detected using the methods of ELISA, Western blot and semi-thin section (1 μm)- toluidine blue staining 2 weeks after injury. Results: The release of CGRP in lumbar spinal dorsal horn was obviously decreased after AMG-517 treatment, which was the evidence of TRPV1 functional inhibition. CGRP in the control group was 0.15 ng/g, the injury only group 0.17 ng/g, AMG-517 150 μg/kg group 0.09 ng/g, and AMG-517 300 μg/kg group 0.11 ng/g(P<0.01). The number of axons which were myelinated or unmyelinated increased after the TRPV1 was inhibited by AMG-517(P<0.01). In addition, the injection of AMG-517 into surrounding dorsal root ganglion decreased the expression of TRPV1 in dorsal root ganglion(P<0.01). Conclusions: Over expression or activation of TRPV1 after periphery nerve injury has negative effect on nerve regeneration in fact; Inhibiting the over-expression or over-activation of TRPV1 after nerve injury facilitates axonal regeneration and nerve repair.

BACKGROUND:Botulinum neurotoxins are produced by Clostridium botulinum bacteria. There are eight serologically distinct botulinum neurotoxin isoforms (serotypes A-H). Currently, botulinum neurotoxin serotype A (BoNT⁄A) is commonly used for the treatment of many disorders, such as hyperactive musculoskeletal disorders, dystonia, and pain. However, the effectiveness of BoNT⁄A for pain alleviation and the mechanisms that mediate the analgesic effects of BoNT⁄A remain unclear. To define the antinociceptive mechanisms by which BoNT/A functions, the interactions between BoNT⁄A and the transient receptor potential vanilloid subfamily 1 (TRPV1) were investigated using immunofluorescence, co-immunoprecipitation, and western blot analysis in primary mouse embryonic dorsal root ganglion neuronal cultures.RESULTS:1) Three-week-old cultured dorsal root ganglion neurons highly expressed transient TRPV1, synaptic vesicle 2A (SV2A) and synaptosomal-associated protein 25 (SNAP-25). SV2A and SNAP-25 are the binding receptor and target protein, respectively, of BoNT⁄A. 2) TRPV1 colocalized with both BoNT⁄A and cleaved SNAP-25 when BoNT⁄A was added to dorsal root ganglia neuronal cultures. 3) After 24 hours of BoNT⁄A treatment (1 nmol⁄l), both TRPV1 and BoNT⁄A positive bands were detected in western blots of immunoprecipitated pellets. 4) Blocking TRPV1 with a specific antibody decreased the cleavage of SNAP-25 by BoNT⁄A.CONCLUSION:BoNT/A interacts with TRPV1 both structurally and functionally in cultured mouse embryonic dorsal root ganglion neurons. These results suggest that an alternative mechanism is used by BoNT⁄A to mediate pain relief.
AIM:To observe the effect of botulinum neurotoxin type A heavy chain ( BoNT/A HC) on the pat-tern of spinal protein expression by intrathecal injection after spinal cord injury in rats , and to explore the role of BoNT/A HC intervention in spinal protein expression and some of its mechanisms in nerve regeneration after injury .METHODS:The model of unilateral lumbar spinal cord injury was established .The effects of BoNT/A HC intervention at different doses (2 μg, 4 μg, 6 μg and 8 μg) on the general pattern of protein expression in the spinal cord tissues at the injury site and the cranial part adjacent to the injury site was measured and evaluated by SDS-PAGE and Coomassie brilliant blue staining first, and then by two-dimensional SDS-PAGE.RESULTS:The histological structure of the ipsilateral side of lumbar spi-nal cord showed obvious destruction and degradation , mainly affecting both gray and white matter of the left side of the cord.The result of SDS-PAGE with Coomassie brilliant blue staining from injured spinal cord tissue displayed that the ex-pression of some proteins after one-time BoNT/A HC treatment appeared obviously different from that without BoNT /A HC treatment.Moreover, the pattern of the protein expression affected by BoNT/A HC was similar to that of the normal spinal cord.The more detail information from two-dimensional SDS-PAGE indicated that more than 10 proteins with different mo-lecular weight and isoelectronic points were differentially expressed at day 2 and day 20 after local injection of 6μg BoNT/A HC.This altered expression actually appeared a tendency toward the pattern shown in normal group .CONCLUSION:The immediate application of BoNT/A HC at the injury site after unilateral lumbar spinal cord injury is able to affect the pattern of local protein expression .The altered protein expression by injury could be reversed back to normal or approxi -mately normal by local BoNT/A HC administration.
