Comparative study on the effect of integrin αvβ3 on secretion of matrix metalloproteinases in human normal and carcinoma trophoblasts

The invasion of cytotrophoblast cells into the maternal endometrium during embryonic implantation is very similar to the metastasis of carcinoma cells. However, the significant difference is that the former is a highly controlled process. In this report, the effects of integrin αvβ3 on the secretion of matrix metalloproteinase (MMP) were compared between normal cytotrophoblast cells and choriocarcinoma cells by RT-PCR, gelatin zymography and immunocytochemistry. The results reveal that both normal cytotrophoblast cells and choriocarcinoma cells can express integrin αvβ3. The secretion of MMPs in normal cytotrophoblast ceils is up-regulated by anti-αvβ3 antibody, whereas, decreased in choriocarcinoma cells. It was suggested that αvβ3 can modulate the expression of MMPs in trophoblasts, and this action is carried out through distinct mechanisms in normal and carcinoma cytotrophoblast cells.

Hypersensitivity to endotoxin hepatotoxicity in rats with inflammatory lesions

Summary The ratio of sinusoidal nonparenchymal cells to hepatocytes in rat liver was significantly increased following induction of inflammation, and decreased after subsequent exposure to endotoxin, particularly in the region around the terminal portal venules. Rats with inflammatory lesions were more sensitive to endotoxin hepatocytotoxicity than normal controls, as judged from the dose-dependent increase in activity of serum transaminases and from the extent of liver tissue injury. In addition, these animals, which were already in a state of depletion of hepatic glycogen, demonstrated marked hyperglycemia 24 h after endotoxin administration in small doses of less than 2 mg/kg.     

FOXP3+调节性T细胞与免疫细胞治疗

 CD4⁺CD25⁺FOXP3⁺调节性T细胞（Treg）负责维持机体免疫稳态、调节免疫耐受。Treg细胞通过调控机体对外来或自身抗原的免疫应答水平,在抗自身免疫及抗肿瘤免疫中均发挥重要作用。深入分析了Treg细胞功能的分子机理,通过FOXP3⁺Treg细胞体外扩增或对其进行修饰改造,可以使其在不同组织及炎症微环境下特异性促进对机体的有益作用,减少副作用,这一现象会为免疫细胞治疗提供新思路与新策略。     

In vitro study of human endothelial progenitor cells behaviour on nitrided Ni-free Ti–27Nb alloy

A superelastic Ni-free Ti–27Nb alloy has been synthesized and gas nitrided at high temperature to investigate its suitability for vascular implant applications. The cellular responses of human endothelial progenitor cells (EPCs) to both bare and nitrided Ti–27Nb alloy have been analyzed using Live/Dead staining, MTT assay, fluorescence microscopy and ELISA technique, as well as NiTi alloy for comparison. Live/Dead staining and MTT assay were performed to assess the cellular viability and proliferation, while fluorescence microscopy was used to analyze cell adhesion, cell morphology, and the expression of endothelial cell markers (VE-cadherin and von Willebrand factor). Secretion of the pro-inflammatory chemokine MCP (monocyte chemoattractant protein)-1 by the cells grown in contact with the analyzed materials was further verified using the enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. The results obtained revealed that adhesion, spreading, viability, proliferation rate and phenotypic markers expression of EPCs were similar on the surfaces of Ti–27Nb and NiTi alloys. Cells exposed to nitrided Ti–27Nb surface exhibited significantly decreased inflammatory response, which may be beneficial for reducing in-stent restenosis incidence.

有氧运动对青少年骨骼肌细胞葡萄糖氧化代谢的影响

研究有氧运动对青少年骨骼肌細胞葡萄糖代谢的影响,因为青少年骨骼肌細胞葡萄糖氧化代谢规律和青年小鼠是相同的。为了便于采集骨骼肌细胞將青年小鼠作为研究対象,选用3月龄健康雄性Sprague-Dawley小鼠30只,随机将其划分成安静组、中等强度有氧运动组和过度有氧运动组,每组10只洧氧运动方式为游泳。经7周有氧运动后,中等强度有氧运动组体重、体重变化和体重变化率均显著低于对照组(P0.05);过度有氧运动组各体重指标均低于对照组,差异具有非常显著性(P0.01)。经7周有氧运动后,中等强度有氧运动组血糖显著低于对照组(P0.05),血清胰岛素显著高于对照组(P0.05)过度有氧运动组血糖低于对照组血清胰岛素高于对照组差异均具有非常显著性(P0.01)。经7周有氧运动后,中等强度有氧运动组和过度有氧运动组GT4含量均显著高于对照组(P0.05)。经7周有氧运动后,中等强度有氧运动组和过度有氧运动组MEF2mRNA表达均高于对照组差异具有非常显著性(P0.01)。说明适宜有氧运动能够促进青少年骨骼肌細胞葡萄糖代谢,但过度有氧运动会使机体在一定程度上受到损伤。
