Nucleotide excision repair (NER), the core mechanism of DNA repair pathway, was commonly used to maintain genomic stability and prevent tumorigenesis. Previous investigations have demonstrated that single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) of NER pathway genes were associated with various types of cancer. However, there was no research elucidating the genetic association of entire NER pathway with ovarian cancer susceptibility. Therefore, we conducted genotyping for 17 SNPs of six NER core genes (XPA, XPC, XPG, ERCC1, ERCC2, and ERCC4) in 89 ovarian cancer cases and 356 cancer-free controls. Odds ratios (ORs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were used to describe the strength of association. The result showed that both ERCC1 rs11615 and XPC rs2228000 were significantly associated with reduced risk of ovarian cancer under dominant genetic model (adjusted OR = 0.35, 95% CI = 0.20–0.61, P=0.0002 and adjusted OR = 0.49, 95% CI = 0.30–0.81, P=0.005 respectively). In addition, XPC rs2228001 and ERCC2 rs238406 had statistically significant association with the increased risk of ovarian cancer under dominant genetic model (adjusted OR = 1.72, 95% CI = 1.02–2.92, P=0.043 and adjusted OR = 2.07, 95% CI = 1.07–4.01, P=0.032 respectively). ERCC1 rs3212986 were related with the increased risk of ovarian cancer under recessive model (adjusted OR = 2.40, 95% CI = 1.30–4.44, P=0.005). In conclusion, our results indicated that ERCC1, XPC and ERCC2 might influence ovarian cancer susceptibility. Further research with large sample size is warranted to validate the reliability and accuracy of our results.
Objective: To explore the roles and mechanism of mitochondrial dynamin-related protein 1 (drp1) and mitochondrial fusion protein 2 (Mfn2) in palmitate (PA) induced rat hepatocyte injury in the model of nonalcoholic-fatty-liver-disease (NAFLD) in vitro, and the effects of curcumin derivative L6H4 on it.Methods: Rat BRL-3A hepatocytes were cultured with difference concentrations of PA and oleate (OA) and PA+ curcumin derivative L6H4 mixed medium for 24 hours respectively. Cell vitality was detected by MTT assay and the opti-mal concentration of PA for establishing non alcoholic fatty liver model in vitro and drug intervention of curcum-in derivative L6H4 were screened. Cells were divided into 4 groups: control group (CON group), oleate group (OA group), palmitate group (PA group) and curcumin derivative L6H4 intervention group (L6H4 group), and were cultured with normal medium, containing oleate medium, containing palmitate medium and containing pal-mitate and curcumin derivative L6H4 mixed medium for 24 hours, respectively. Total SOD activity was detected by hydroxylamine method. The content of MDA was analyzsed by thiobarbituric acid method. The expression of mRNA and protein of Drp1, Mfn2, Bcl-2, Bax, Caspase-3, TNF-α of hepatocyte were detected by real-time PCR and Western blot respectively.Results: Different concentrations of PA had certain inhibitory effect on BRL-3A cells growth (P<0.05), and showed a clear dose dependence manner, 0.1 mmol/L PA was the cut-off point, while 0.05 mmol/L OA had no obvious effect. 0.05 mmol/L PA was selected as the optimal concentration to establish the model of NAFLD in vitro. The cell viability was higher than 75% when the concentration of curcumin deriva-tive L6H4 was lower than 10 μmol/L. The cell viability dropped to below 50% (P<0.05) when the concentration of curcumin derivatives L6H4 was higher than 20 μmol/L, 10 μmol/L L6H4 was the cut-off point. Therefore, 5 μmol/L curcumin derivative L6H4 was chosen for subsequent L6H4 interfere concentration. Compared with the CON group, MDA content of cellular homogenization and the expressions of mRNA and protein of Drp1, Bax, Caspase-3, TNF-α were increased (P<0.05) signiifcantly, T-SOD activity and the expressions of mRNA and pro-tein of Mfn2, Bcl-2 were decreased (P<0.05) signiifcantly in PA group. Compared with the PA group, MDA con-tent of cellular homogenization and the expressions of mRNA and protein of Drp1, Bax, Caspase-3, TNF-α were decreased signiifcantly (P<0.05), T-SOD activity and the expressions of mRNA and protein of Bcl-2 were in-creased signiifcantly (P<0.05) in L6H4 group, but the expression of Mfn2 had no signiifcant difference (P>0.05). Conclusion: Curcumin derivative L6H4 plays an important role in attenuation hepatocyte injury induced by PA, which is associated with its decrease the lipid peroxidation, inhibition mitochondrial ifssion and suppression the downstream of mitochondrial apoptotic pathway and signal transduction of inlfammatory factor. It may be one of the underlying mechanism for curcumin derivative L6H4 to treat NAFLD.

Objective To investigate the effects of chronic intermittent hypoxia (CIH) on bone mineral density (BMD) and bone metabolism in mice. Methods Sixteen male C57BL/6 mice aged 12 weeks were randomly assigned into 2 groups:CON group (n=8) and CIH group (n=8). Mice in CIH group were exposed to hypoxic environment 8h ×6d/week, while mice in CON group were exposed to normal environment. At the end of 8 weeks al animals were sacrificed. Serum levels of OC,TRACP- 5b, IL- 6 and TNF- αwere measured by ELISA;histopathology of bone tissue was observed by H.E staining and BMD examination was performed.The expression of OPG and RANKL protein and mRNA in bone tissue was detected by immunohistochemical staining and Real time- qPCR, respectively. Results Histopathology showed that in the metaphysis of distal femurs of CIH mice the bone trabecula became thinner and broken resulting in widening the intertrabecula space. Compared to CON group the BMD, serum OC level and ratio of OPG/RANKL were decreased significantly in the distal femurs of CIH group (P<0.05 or 0.01), while the serum TRACP- 5b,IL- 6 and TNF- αlevel and the expression of RANKL protein and RANKL mRNA in bone were increased significantly (P<0.05 or 0.01). But there were no significant differences in expression of OPG protein and OPG mRNA in bone be-tween two groups(P>0.05). The serum IL- 6 and TNF- αlevels were negatively correlated with BMD(P<0.05 or 0.01), and posi-tively correlated with the expression of RANKL mRNA in bone tissue (P<0.05 or 0.01). Conclusion The results suggest that chronic intermittent hypoxia can increase bone resorption, decrease bone formation and bone mineral density, which are associ-ated with up- regulation of IL- 6 and TNF- αand higher RANKL level.
目的探讨银杏叶提取物(extract of Ginkgo biloba,EGB)对1型糖尿病心肌病大鼠心肌Bcl-2、Bax和caspase-3表达的影响。方法将30只SD雄性大鼠随机分成3组:正常对照组(Con组,n=10)、糖尿病模型组(DM组,n=10)和银杏叶提取物治疗组(EGB组,n=10)。用链脲佐菌素(strepozotocin,STZ)进行腹腔注射,建立1型糖尿病动物模型后用银杏叶提取物注射液腹腔注射建立EGB组,其余两组给予相同体积的生理盐水。于12周末用超声心动图仪测定左心室舒张末期容积(LVIDV)、左心室收缩末期容积(LVISV)、左心室射血分数(LVEF)和每搏射血量(SV);测定左心室重量指数、血糖和血胰岛素水平;用TUNEL法测定心肌细胞的凋亡指数(AI);用RT-PCR和Western blot法分别检测其Bcl-2、Bax和caspase-3的表达。结果与Con组相比,DM组大鼠LVIDV(P<0.01)、SV(P<0.01)、胰岛素含量(P<0.01)和心肌组织Bcl-2(P<0.05)的表达都显著降低;而左心室重量指数和血糖浓度(P<0.01)、心肌组织中Bax(P<0.05)、caspase-3(P<0.05)的表达以及Bax/Bcl-2比例均明显升高。当EGB干预治疗后,与DM组相比,大鼠LVIDV(P<0.05)、SV(P<0.05)、胰岛素含量(P<0.05)和心肌组织Bcl-2(P<0.05)的表达均显著升高;而左心室重量指数(P<0.05)、血糖浓度(P<0.01)、心肌组织中Bax(P<0.05)、caspase-3(P<0.05)的表达以及Bax/Bcl-2比例(P<0.05)均明显降低。但是TUNEL染色显示各组大鼠的心肌细胞凋亡率(cardiomyocyte apoptosis index,CAI)没有明显的差异(P>0.05)。结论银杏叶提取物可以通过增加Bcl-2的表达,降低Bax、caspase-3表达及Bax/Bcl-2比例,减少心肌细胞的凋亡,从而提高了糖尿病心肌病的心肌功能。这也提示EGB通过调节心肌凋亡相关基因的表达,减少细胞的凋亡是其治疗糖尿病心肌病的重要机制之一。
Objective:To investigate the effects of inlfammatory mediator and oxidative stress on bone me-tabolism in high fat diet-induced obesity mice and the underlying mechanism. MethodSixteen C57BL/6 mice aged 5 weeks were randomly divided into two groups. High fat diet group (HFD) was fed with high fat diet while normal fat diet group (NFD) was fed with normal fat diet. At the end of 16 weeks, the visceral fat was weighed and the visceral fat/body mass ratio was assessed. The levels of TRACP-5b, OC, IL-6 and TNF-αin serum were measured by ELISA. The content of malondiadehyde (MDA) and the activity of superoxide dismutase (SOD) in shin-bone were analyzed by using hydroxylamine assay and TBA colorimetry. The bone mineral density (BMD) of right femurs were detected by Hologic QDR-4500 Bone Densitometer. The expressions of OPG and RANKL in bone tissue were detected by immunohistochemical technique and RT-qPCR respectively. Histologi-cal changes in the left femurs were studied with HE stained under light microscopy. ResultCompared to the NFD group mice, the body weight,the ratio of visceral fat/body mass and the RANKL/OPG in bone, the serum levels of TRACP5b, IL-6, TNF-α, the expressions of RANKL and the content of MDA in bone were increased in HFD group mice signiifcantly (P<0.05). But the serum level of OC, the expressions of OPG, the activity of SOD in bone and the BMD were decreased in HFD group mice signiifcantly (P<0.05). Histologically, the volume of bones trabecular were decreased and the bones trabecular distribution were sparse, thinner and fracture and more adipocytes inifltrated in bone marrow in HFD group. The results of correlation analysis shows that BMD was positively correlated with SOD of bone (r=0.627, P<0.01) and negatively correlated with the ratio of visceral fat/body mass (r=-0.858, P<0.01), MDA level of bone (r=-0.538, P<0.01);SOD was positively correlated with OPG mRNA (r=0.637, P<0.01) and negatively correlated with TNF-α(r=-0.673, P<0.01), IL-6 (r=-0.874, P<0.01), RANKL mRNA (r=-0.760, P<0.01) and the ratio of the RANKL/OPG in bone(r=-0.768, P<0.01), but MDA shows no correlation with TNF-α, IL-6, OPG mRNA, RANKL mRNA and the ratio of the RANKL/OPG in bone (P>0.05). Conclusion:High fat diet induced obesity can lead to the increase of bone resorption and the patho-logical histology changes of osteoporosis and the BMD decline. The underlying mechanism may be associated with its upreguating of inlfammatory mediator and enhancing oxidative stress in bone.
