Accumulating evidence indicates that angiotensin (1-7) [Ang-(1-7)] protects against idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) in animal experiments. However, whether Ang-(1-7) effectively inhibits epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) induced by transforming growth factor-β1 (TGF-β1) remains unclear. The aim of this study is to examine the eff ;ects of Ang-(1-7) on TGF-β1-induced EMT in human alveolar epithelial cells. We found that angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE2) /Ang-(1-7)/MasR were decreased in the lungs of mice with IPF induced by bleomycin, and were negatively correlated with Tgfb1 mRNA expression. In vitro, our data showed that exogenous Ang-(1-7) restored the expression of E-cadherin and decreased the expressions of α-SMA and Vimentin induced by TGF-β1 in A549 cells. Ang-(1-7) also reduced TGF-β1-induced migration and synthesis of the extracellular matrix, such as collagen Ⅰ and collagen Ⅲ. Mechanistically, we observed that Ang-(1-7) directly inhibited TGF-β1-induced phosphorylation of Smad2 and Smad3, and suppressed the expression of the downstream target gene of TGF-β1-Smad signaling, including ZEB1, ZEB2, TWIST, and SNAIL1. Additionally, phosphorylation of mTOR induced by TGF-β1 also been suppressed by Ang-(1-7) treatment in A549 cells. Interestingly, we found that TGF-β1 strongly suppressed the expression of ACE2 in A549 cells through inhibiting SIRT1. In conclusion, our findings indicate that Ang-(1-7) directly inhibits TGF-β1-induced EMT in alveolar epithelial cells via disruption of TGF-β1-Smad signaling pathway, contributing to the protective effect against IPF.

BACKGROUND/OBJECTIVES: Folic acid supplementation has been suggested to reduce the risk of preeclampsia. However, results from few epidemiologic studies have been inconclusive. We investigated the hypothesis that folic acid supplementation and dietary folate intake before conception and during pregnancy reduce the risk of preeclampsia.SUBJECTS/ METHODS: A birth cohort study was conducted in 2010-2012 at the Gansu Provincial Maternity & Child Care Hospital in Lanzhou, China. A total of 10 041 pregnant women without chronic hypertension or gestational hypertension were enrolled.RESULTS: Compared with nonusers, folic acid supplement users had a reduced risk of preeclampsia (OR = 0.61, 95% CI: 0.43-0.87). A significant dose-response of duration of use was observed among women who used folic acid supplemention during pregnancy only (P-trend = 0.007). The reduced risk associated with folic acid supplement was similar for mild or severe preeclampsia and for early-or late-onset preeclampsia, although the statistical significant associations were only observed for mild (OR = 0.50, 95% CI: 0.30-0.81) and late-onset (OR = 0.60, 95% CI: 0.42-0.86) preeclampsia. The reduced risk associated with dietary folate intake during pregnancy was only seen for severe preeclampsia (OR = 0.52, 95% CI: 0.31-0.87, for the highest quartile of dietary folate intake compared with the lowest).CONCLUSIONS: Our study results suggest that folic acid supplementation and higher dietary folate intake during pregnancy reduce the risk of preeclampsia. Future studies are needed to confirm the associations.
内在凝血途径接触激活的启动因子是凝血因子Ⅻ(FⅫ),激活的FⅫa催化底物是FⅪ.但由于FⅫ缺陷并无出血倾向,FⅪ缺陷的出血倾向远较FⅧ与FⅨ缺陷为低.因此,长期以来对于内在途径接触环节的生物医学意义存在疑问.近十余年来,由于分子生物学技术和其它先进手段的广泛应用,对此研究有了突破性进展[1-6].现已明确酶原型FⅫ参与血管损伤的修复,FⅫ的体内天然激活物是血小板的聚磷酸盐(polyP)、细胞外RNA和DNA(包括中性粒细胞的细胞外诱捕网,NETs)以及胶原和层素.令人特别瞩目的是内在途径接触激活参与血栓形成[7-10],并已成为现代抗栓研究的新热点.本文聚焦介绍这一领域的进展.

Objective To investigate the change of dynamic expression of t-PA and PAI-1 during early venous crisis after free perforator flap transplantation.Methods Thirty healthy New Zealand white rabbits weighed 2.5-3.0 kg were chosen and randomly divided into experimental group (n =15) and control group (n =15).Free transplantation of superficial epigastric artery perforator flap (SEAPF) was implemented in all rabbits firstly.Then the model of venous crisis was established by ligating the anastomosis vein in order to interrupt venous blood outflow in experimental group.The blood supply of all flaps was monitored by observing their color,swelling degree and the filling reaction of the capillaries after operation.Peripheral blood was drawn from femoral artery at different time point for measuring the concentration of t-PA and PAI-1 by Elisa.Partial flap tissue was harvested for pathological examination at corresponding time point.Data analysis was performed by using SPSS 17.0 statistical software.P < 0.05 was considered statistically significant.Results One rabbit died of anesthesia,and the venous congestion was observed in 1 rabbit in control group.The models of free transplantation of SEAPF and venous crisis were established successfully in the remaining rabbits.No significant appearance change was observed within 1 h after the outflow vein being ligated,while typical appearance of venous crisis could be observed 2 hours after the outflow vein being ligated.Compared with the control group,the concentration of t-PA was lower,but the concentration of PAI-1 was higher in experimental group at 2 hours,4 hours,6 hours,8 hours after the outflow vein being ligated(P < 0.05).However,there was no obvious differences between two groups at other time points (P > 0.05).The pathological examination showed the red cells gradually got together and adhered to the venous wall,eventually the microcirculation had been blocked completely and theflap became necrosis after venous crisis being occurred.Conclusion t-PA and PAI-1 can't be used to diagnose early venous crisis of perforator flap transplantation.
【Objective】The purpose of this study was to observe the effects of puerarin on the expression of tissue factor(TF) induced by angiotensin Ⅱ(AngⅡ) in human umbilical vein endothelium derived cell line(HUVECs) and to elucidate the inhibitory mechanism of puerarin on the expression of TF induced by angiotensinII.【Methods】HUVECs were cultured in DMEM.TF activity was determined with one-stage clotting assay measuring total cellular procoagulant activity(PCA).PCA was recognized as TF activity by FVII deficient plasma and TF monoclonal antibody methods.TF antigen was determined with enzyme linked immunosorbent assay(ELISA).TF mRNA was examined by semi-quantitative reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction(RT-PCR).Immunohistochemical analysis was performed to evaluate the activation of NF-κB.【Results】①Compared with the control,a gradual increase in PCA(r=0.9528,P0.05) was observed in HUVECs stimulated with increasing concentration of AngII(10-10~10-6 mol/L).Puerarin(62.5~500)mg/L alone could not inhibit the expression of TF in HUVECs(P0.05).When pretreated with puerarin(62.5~500)mg/L,puerarin could inhibit the expression of TF activity,TF antigen and mRNA induced by AngⅡ(P0.05),and 500 mg/L was the strongest concentration.500 mg/L puerarin decreased TF activity and TF antigen in HUVECs on a time dependent manner,reaching a maximum level after 12 h.②L-NAME alone,which is the inhibitor of NOS,had no marked effects on PCA and TF mRNA in HUVECs,but L-NAME significantly blocked the inhibitory effects of puerarin on TF PCA and mRNA expression induced by AngⅡ(P0.05).③Immunohistochemical analysis demonstrated that NF-κB translocation from cytoplasm to the nucleus was observed after treatment of endothelial cells with AngII.puerarin inhibited AngII-induced NF-κB translocation.【Conclusion】AngⅡ can induce the expression of TF in vascular endothelial cells and puerarin inhibits this effect at mRNA level.NO pathway participates in the inhibitory effects of puerarin on the expression of TF induced by AngⅡ.NF-κB translocation plays an important role in AngⅡ-induced TF expression and puerarin can inhibit this NF-κB translocation.
To evaluate the association of the PRM1, PRM2 genes variants with susceptibility of severely defective spermatogenesis in the Chinese Han population. Case-control study. Three hundred and nine cases of male infertility including two subgroups: 199 cases with non-obstructive azoospermia (NOA) and 110 cases with severe oligozoospermia(SO), and 307 controls in the Chinese Han population were recruited. Seven single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in PRM1 and PRM2 genes were genotyped by Sequenom iplex. The total cases, as well as the two subgroups of NOA and SO groups are compared with the control group, respectively. HWE, LD and haplotype analysis were performed with SHEsis software, available online http://analysis.bio-x.cn/myAnalysis.php. Strict Bonferroni correction was used to correct the P values of the allele frequency and genotype of each SNPs. The corrected significance level was at 0.0125 after Bonferroni correction for multiple comparisons. PRM1 variant rs35576928 (p. R34S) was significantly associated with severe oligozoospermia and played a protective role in conferring susceptibility to the disease (P=0.0079, OR=0.426). The dominant model (variant-containing genotypes) of the SNP was confirmed to be a protective factor of SO (P=0.0078, OR=0.387). Haplotypes analysis of PRM1 and PRM2 genes in combination exhibited that haplotype TACCGGC exhibited a significant protective effect on the SO when compared with the controls (P=0.002, OR=0.602, 95%CI=0.432-0.838). Haplotype TACCTGC was strongly associated with the risk of the clinical subtype of SO (P=0.002, OR=2.716, 95%CI=1.398- 5.273). Our findings indicated that PRM1 variant rs35576928 (p. R34S) was associated with severely defective spermatogenesis in the Chinese Han population.

OBJECTIVE: It has been reported that there are differences between in vitro and in vivo matured oocytes for their survival rates following vitrification The purpose of this study is to determine the competency of cryodamage resistance of in vitro matured oocytes in the presence of cysteamine during in vitro maturation (IVM).DESIGN: Animal-model study.MATERIALS AND METHODS: Female mice (CD-1) were stimulated with 10IU PMSG. Oocytes were collected after 48h and the collected oocytes were divided into following groups: (1) Cumulus-oocyte-complex (COC); (2) denuded groups. Both COC and denuded oocytes were cultured in IVM medium containing 75mIU/mL FSH and LH, 10% FBS for 16 h in the presence or absence of cysteamine (200μM). Following culture, the maturated oocytes were either vitrified or inseminated immediately. Vitrification and thawing procedures were performed with McGill Cryoleaf as reported previously. Vitrified oocytes were thawed and inseminated on the other day. Fertilization rate were recorded 24 h after insemination, and early embryonic development were assessed. Statistical differences were considered significant at p<0.05.RESULTS: The presence of cysteamine during IVM significantly increased maturation rate in COC group but had no significant difference in denuded group. The presence of cyseamine during IVM does not improve the survival rate of in vitro matured oocytes with or without cumulus cells during IVM. However, the presence of cumulus cells during IVM had better fertilization rate (p<0.05) compared to the denuded oocytes after vitrification-thawing. The presence of cysteamine during IVM significantly reduced the fragmentation rate in cumulus-intact group compared to cumulus-free group following vitrification-thawing.CONCLUSIONS: The presence of cysteamine during IVM has beneficial effect on both COC and denuded oocytes in terms of their competency of subsequent fertilization and early embryonic development following vitrification.

Objective. To evaluate the effects of angiotensin II on the expression of tissue factor (TF) in the cell line ECV304 and the effects of angiotensin (1-7) on induced TF angiotensin II expression. Methods. ECV304 cells were cultured in RPMI1640 medium. The procoagulant activity (PCA) was determined with one-stage clotting assay and TF mRNA examined by semi-quantitative RT-PCR. Immunohistochemical analysis was performed to evaluate the activation of NF-κB. Results. Compared with the control, angiotensin II (10 –10 – 10 –6 mol/L) significantly increased PCA of ECV304 cells and TF mRNA expression in a dose-dependent manner (P < 0.01, r = 0.9631) and the peak concentration was 10 –6 mol/L. Angiotensin (1-7) (10 –10 – 10 –7 mol/L) alone could not change the PCA, but pretreated the ECV304 cells with angiotensin (1-7), which
