Objective To determine the effect of activating parvalbumin (PV) positive inhibitory neurons on memory impairment caused by frontal cortex ischemia and analyze the related mechanism. Methods Adult PV-Cre mice were randomly divided into control group [frontal cortex injection of 0.9% NaCl+ intraperitoneal injection of clozapine N-oxide hydrochloride (CNO)], model group (frontal cortex injection of endothelin+intraperitoneal injection of 0.9% NaCl) and intervention group (prefrontal cortex injection of endothelin+intraperitoneal injection of CNO). Among them, virus microinjection technology was adopted to specifically express mCherry in the PV neurons in the frontal cortex of mice from the control group, while specifically express hM3d-mCherry in the PV neurons from the model group and the intervention group. Injection of CNO was performed in the intervention group to specifically activate PV positive neurons through hM3d. The memory and motor functions of mice were detected by T-maze and object location and recognition tasks. The changes of dendritic spine density of pyramidal neurons in frontal cortex were analyzed by Golgi staining. Results The administration of endothelin in frontal cortex caused local ischemia. Compared with the normal control group, the density of dendritic spines on pyramidal neurons was decreased after frontal cortex ischemia, resulting in the decrease of selection accuracy in T-maze and exploration scores in object location and recognition tasks (P < 0.01). On the contrary, activation of PV positive neurons significantly increased the density of dendritic spines in frontal cortex, and significantly improved the selection accuracy of mice in T-maze test (P < 0.05) and the exploration score in object location and recognition tasks (P < 0.05). Conclusion Activation of PV positive neurons can improve memory impairment caused by frontal cortex ischemia, which may be related to increasing the density of dendritic spines in frontal cortex.
生长停滞特异性蛋白6(growth arrest specific protein 6,GAS6)在肿瘤发生发展中发挥重要作用,其信号转导参与细胞增殖、黏附与迁移,但它在子宫内膜异位症(endometriosis,EMs)的相关功能及分子机制尚不明确.本研究从GEO数据库检索并下载子宫内膜异位症相关转录物组数据集,并对其进行GEO在线分析,筛选差异表达基因并进行GO聚类和KEGG通路富集分析.利用10例无内异症且无明确疾病妇女的在位子宫内膜,以及11例卵巢巧克力囊肿病人异位子宫内膜,对3个以上数据集共有的差异基因的mRNA水平进行实时荧光定量PCR验证.在子宫内膜异位症临床样本中,采用免疫组化、实时荧光定量PCR验证关键调控因子GAS6及上皮间充质转化(epi-thelial mesenchymal transition,EMT)标记基因的表达水平,并利用免疫荧光对GAS6和E-钙黏着蛋白(E-cadherin)进行共标.研究发现:从4个转录物组数据集中共筛选出47个差异表达基因,其主要富集于细胞迁移等过程以及MAPK、PI3K-AKT、紧密连接等相关信号通路.3个以上数据集所共有的9个差异基因在子宫内膜异位症病人中的mRNA水平均符合生物信息学分析的结果.GAS6在子宫内膜异位症病人异位内膜中的表达水平高于对照组(P<0.05),并且子宫内膜异位症病人的内膜组织中存在EMT现象,EMT的标志物E-钙黏着蛋白表达水平下调(P<0.05)、波形蛋白(vimentin)表达水平上调(P<0.01).在GAS6高表达的子宫内膜异位症患者异位子宫内膜腺上皮细胞中,E-cadherin显示低表达,提示GAS6可能在子宫内膜异位症中介导EMT过程.综上所述,本研究初步揭示GAS6在子宫内膜异位症病人中高表达,及其可能介导EMT过程参与子宫内膜异位症的发生与发展,为子宫内膜异位症的临床治疗提供潜在靶标.
Objective To determine the expression of S100A6 in liver tissues and investigate its role in the activation of hepatic stellate cells (HSCs). Methods Twelve C57BL/6 mice were randomly assigned to control group and liver fibrosis group. The mice in the latter group was administrated with carbon tetrachloride for 6 weeks to induce liver fibrosis. The liver tissue was harvested for Masson staining and S100A6 detection by immunohistochemistry. The expression of S100A6 at mRNA and protein levels was detected by RT-qPCR and Western blotting. After primary HSCs were isolated and cultured, their morphological changes in quiescence and activation were observed, and the mRNA and protein levels of S100A6 were detected after cultured for different time periods. Additionally, siRNA was utilized to interfere S100A6 expression in HSCs, and the mRNA and protein levels of S100A6, Collagen Ⅰ and α-SMA were tested by RT-qPCR and Western blotting. Results Masson staining displayed fibrosis in liver tissue in the mice of the liver fibrosis group, and S100A6 was also significantly expressed in the corresponding fibrous cord area of liver tissue in liver fibrosis group, and its mRNA and protein levels were obviously enhanced in the liver tissue when compared to the control group (P < 0.05). In vitro, HSCs auto-activated with the process of culture, and the mRNA and protein expression levels of S100A6 were gradually increased in a time depended manner in the HSCs (P < 0.05 or P < 0.001). Undoubtedly, the interference of S100A6 by siRNA efficiency dramatically inhibited the mRNA and protein expression of S100A6, Collagen Ⅰ, α-SMA (P < 0.05 or P < 0.001). Conclusion S100A6 is specifically expressed in hepatic fibrosis and activated HSCs, and is an important protein regulating the activation of HSCs. Thus, S100A6 might play important role in the pathogenesis of liver fibrosis.

Objective To determine the effect of progesterone on axon regeneration of cerebral ganglia neurons after intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH), and explore the underlying mechanism. Methods SD rats were randomly divided into ICH group, low- (8 mg/kg) and high-dose progesterone (16 mg/kg) groups, and sham operation group. Combined treatment of high-dose progesterone and PI3K/Akt pathway inhibitor LY294002 was given to the rats from the inhibitor group. The neurological deficits, brain water content and pathological changes and expression of axon growth-related proteins were observed at 1, 3, 7 and 14 d after operation. And the cerebral hematoma volume and oxidative stress related indexes were analyzed at 3 d after operation. The expression levels of axonal-associated proteins and pathway proteins p-Akt and RhoA were detected at 3 d after operation, and the locations of GAP43 and p-Akt/RhoA were identified with immunofluorescence staining. Results The ICH group had severest neurological dysfunction and cerebral edema at each time point, and largest volume of cerebral hematoma and highest levels of oxidative stress products. After progesterone intervention, the damage was relieved at each time point, with the efficacy of high-dose more obvious than low-dose (P < 0.05). Western blot Results showed that the high-dose progesterone intervention increased the expression levels of GAP43 and NF200 and decreased those of MAG and Nogo-A when compared to the low-dose progesterone and ICH groups (P < 0.05). Western blot analysis indicated that the expression of GAP43, NF200 and p-Akt was down-regulated while that of MAG, Nogo-A and RhoA was increased in the inhibitor group compared with the high- and low-dose progesterone groups (P < 0.05). The Results of double-labeled fluorescence staining showed that the expression of p-Akt was increased and that expression of RhoA was decreased in neuronal cells of the high-dose progesterone group compared with ICH group (P < 0.05). Conclusion Progesterone improves neurological dysfunction after cerebral hemorrhage and promotes regeneration and repair of damaged axons, which may be related to activation of PI3K/Akt pathway and inhibition of RhoA expression.
Objective To investigate the mechanism by which resveratrol (RES) promotes axonal regeneration in rats after intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) and explore the role of the PI3K/Akt pathway that regulates the AMPKα pathway. Methods A total of 126 male adult SD rats were randomized into sham- operated group (n=30), ICH group (n=30), low-dose (20 mg/kg) RES group (n=30), high-dose (40 mg/kg) RES group and PI3K/Akt inhibitor (LY294002) group (n=6). Rat models of ICH were established by stereotaxic injection of autologous blood into the basal ganglia with subsequent treatments as indicated. The neurological deficits of the rats were evaluated, and the pathological changes in the brain tissues were observed with HE staining. The parameters of oxidative stress in each group were detected using ELISA. Western blotting, immunohistochemistry and immunofluorescence assay were performed to detect the expressions of neurofilament 200 (NF200), microtubule-associated protein-2 (MAP-2), myelin basic protein (MBP), growth-associated protein 43 (GAP43), protein kinase B (PKB or Akt), AMP-activated protein kinase alpha (AMPKα) and glycogen synthase kinase 3 beta (GSK-3β) in the brain tissue. Results The rats exhibited significant neurological deficits, obvious brain pathologies, and elevated oxidative stress level following ICH. Intervention with RES, especially at the high dose, obviously alleviated the injuries of the brain tissue. Western blotting and immunohistochemistry showed that compared with those in ICH group, the expression of NF200 and MAP-2 increased significantly in the hemorrhagic region in rats receiving RES treatment, and the effect was more obvious in the high-dose group than in the low-dose group (P < 0.05). Immunofluorescence assay showed that RES treatment of the rats, especially at the high dose, obviously enhanced MBP expression in the brain tissue as compared with that in ICH group (P < 0.05), and AMPK was found to mediate the effect of RES on the axons. The results of Western blotting further confirmed that RES treatment significantly decreased the expressions of p-AMPKα and p-GSK-3β and increased the expressions of NF200, MAP-2, MBP, GAP43 and p-Akt in the hemorrhagic brain tissues of the rats, as compared with those in ICH group, and high-dose RES produced significantly stronger effects on these proteins (P < 0.05). These effects of RES were obviously reversed by the application of PI3K/Akt inhibitor in the rat models of ICH. Conclusion RES can promote axonal regeneration and neurological function recovery in rats after ICH possibly by down-regulating the AMPK pathway through the PI3K/Akt pathway.
Objective:To investigate the role of pre-B-cell colony enhancing factor(PBEF)in the pathogenesis of acute respiratory distress syndrome(ARDS). Methods:Human pulmonary microvascular endothelial cell line(HPMEC) and human type Ⅱ alveolar epithelial cell line(A549)were constructed by increasing human recombinant PBEF(r PBEF)concentrations(0,50,100,500,1 000,2 000 ng/mL)in a stepwise manner. The cell viabilities to r PBEF were tested by MTT assay. And then the cells were stimulated with 100 and 1 000 ng/mL r PBEF while the blank control group was set up. The cell cycle and cell apoptosis were analyzed using flow cytometry(FCM). Morphological changes of apoptosis were observed by transmission electron microscopy. The expres-sions of caspase-3,B-cell lymphoma/leukemia-2 gene were detected by Western blot. The expressions of aquaporin 1,interleukin-8 and interleukin-1β were detected using RT-PCR and Western blot. Results:The cell viabilities were significantly inhibited in the r PBEF group with 100,500,1 000,2 000 ng/mL r PBEF compared with those in blank control group(P<0.05). FCM showed that the percentage of S phase in 100 and 1 000 ng/mL r PBEF groups[HPMEC:(43.847±1.272)%,(63.300±2.102)%;A549:(36.247±2.045)%,(46.400±1.346)%)] were significantly higher than those in the blank control group[HPMEC:(19.347±2.052)%;A549:(17.297±0.800)%](all P=0.000)and the apoptic rate in 100 and 1 000 ng/mL r PBEF groups[HPMEC:(11.317±0.533)%,(15.227±0.637)%;A549:(6.120±0.439)%,(8.633±0.497)%] were significantly higher than those in the control group[HPMEC:(8.433±0.600)%;A549:(3.877±0.666)%)](PHPMEC= 0. 001,PHPMEC= 0. 000;P;= 0. 002,P;=0.000). Transmission electron microscopy showed typical apoptosis,such as heterochromatin concentrated which was set in the nuclear membrane and visible apoptotic bodies in 1 000 ng/mL r PBEF group. The expressions of Bcl-2 protein in 100 and 1 000 ng/mL r PBEF groups [HPMEC :(0.418±0.043),(0.190±0.012);A549:(1.276±0.212),(0.601±0.164)] were significantly decreased(all P=0.000)and the expressions of caspase-3 protein were significantly increased in 100 and 1 000 ng/mL r PBEF groups [HPMEC :(0.763 ±0.030),(1.170±0.056);A549:(0.217±0.010),(0.375±0.032)],respectively,compared with those of blank control group(PHPMEC=0.000,PHPMEC=0.000;P;=0.001,P;=0.000). The expressions of AQP1 gene and protein in 100 and 1 000 ng/mL r PBEF groups were statistically lower than blank control group[mRNA:HPMEC(0.543±0.113),(0.287±0.093)vs.(1.050±0.155)(P=0.002,P=0.000),A549(0.823±0.104),(0.463±0.184)vs.(1.317±0.215)(P=0.013,P=0.001);protein:HPMEC(0.494±0.038),(0.233±0.030)vs.(0.824±0.067)(all P=0.000),A549(0.850±0.157),(0.484±0.118)vs.(1.344±0.136)(P=0.005,P=0.000)] while the expressions of IL-8 and IL-1βgene and protein were statistically higher than blank control group in 100 and 1 000 ng/mL r PBEF groups(P<0.05).Conclusion:PBEF may induce the apoptosis of HPMEC and A549 by down-regulating the expression of Bcl-2 and up-regulating the expression of caspase-3 and PBEF could induce low expression of AQP1 which suggests that PBEF may play an critical role in the development of ARDS.

Objective:To preliminarily investigate the effects of tetramethylpyrazine(TMP)on expressions of aquaporin1,5 in lipopolysaccharide(LPS)-induced lung injury in rats. Methods:Thirty-two healthy male SPF grade SD rats were randomly divided into the normal control group(group C),the TMP intervention group(group T),the LPS stimulation group(group L) and the TMP treatment group(LT group),with eight rats in each group. Rats in the group L were given LPS(6 mg/kg)through tail vein injection,rats in group T were given TMP(100 mg/kg)through intraperitoneal injection,and rats in group LT were given LPS for 1 h followed by TMP(100mg/kg)through intraperitoneal injection immediately. After 8 hours,all rats were anesthetized and sacrificed,with lung tissue specimens harvested. Wet/dry ratio(W/D)of the lung tissue was detected. In addition,hematoxylin-eosin(HE) staining was performed to observe the lung tissue morphology;Quantitative real-time PCR(q RT-PCR)was used to detect the AQP1 m RNA and AQP5 m RNA levels of the lung tissue homogenate. In addition,immunohistochemistry and Western blot were used to detect the protein expression of AQP1 and AQP5 in the lung tissue. Results:After HE staining of the lung tissue sections,the lung tissue was integral and clear in its structure in group C and T under light microscope. Alveoli were disorderly in structures,the diffuse alveolar septa were thickened,and alveolar inflammatory cell infiltration,hemorrhage and edema were observed in group L. While the LT group had milder pathological manifestations than group L. The average W/D ratio of the lung tissue in group L(5.577±0.243)was higher than that of each of the other three groups significantly(P<0.01). Compared with group C and T(3.430±0.251、3.251±0.142),the W/D ratio in the group LT(4.384±0.236)was increased,and the difference was significant(P<0.01). The results of q RT-PCR showed that the levels of AQP1 RNA and AQP5 RNA in group T(1.462±0.080,1.267±0.063)were higher than those in group C(1.160±0.229,0.940±0.087)and the levels in group L(0.607±0.203,0.139±0.046)were down-regulated. Meanwhile,the levels in group LT(0.848±0.071,0.314±0.134)were higher than those in group L(P<0.05). The results of immunohistochemistry(C group:2.096±0.114,2.285±0.266;T group:3.253±0.149,3.790±0.308;L group:1.133±0.202,1.068 ±0.221;LT group:1.562 ±0.085,1.647±0.239)and Western blot(C group:1.443±0.103,1.278±0.061;T group:1.667±0.087,1.644±0.102;L group:0.974±0.090,0.529±0.100;LT group:1.179±0.051,0.805±0.082)were consistent with those of q RT-PCR(P<0.05). Conclusion:TMP can exhibit positive protective effects by mitigating LPS-induced pulmonary edema in ARDS effectively,and the mechanism may be associated with the upregulation of the expressions of AQP1 and AQP5.

Objective:To investigate the correlation between polymorphisms of serine hydroxymethyltransferase1 gene and the adverse reactions of high-dose methotrexate (HD-MTX) in children with acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL). Methods:A total of 51 patients with ALL were treated with HD-MTX, and clinical manifestations after HD-MTX treatment were evaluated retrospectively. cD-NA was obtained from mRNA. The polymorphisms of SHMT1 gene containing rs1979277, rs3783, rs1979276, and rs12952556 sites were tested by denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis and direct sequencing. Effects of SHMT1 gene polymorphisms on HD-MTX ad-verse reactions were evaluated. Results:Severe adverse reactions in ALL patients treated with HD-MTX appeared to be mainly neutro-penia and hepatoadverse reactions. The frequency distributions of rs3783 (C>G), rs1979276 (C>T), rs12952556 (A>G), and rs1979277 (C>T) were the same. The polymorphisms of rs1979277 showed no correlation with neutropenia (P>0.05) but rs1979277 CT and TT genotypes were correlated with hepatoadverse reactions (CT: OR=0.129, 95% CI: 0.020 to 0.817, P=0.03; TT: OR=0.103, 95% CI:0.017 to 0.620, P=0.013). Conclusion: No correlation was found between the combination of rs1979277, rs3783, rs1979276, rs12952556, and neutropenia, but one or more of these loci may reduce the risk of hepatoadverse reactions.
