Objective To investigate the effects of exercise on the activity of heme oxygenase-1 ( HO-1 ) and the expression of HO-1 mRNA and the mechanisms involved in the vascular smooth muscle tissue of rats with spontaneous hypertension (SHR). Methods Twelve male Wistar rats with normal blood pressure were used as control group ( group C ).Another 24 male rats with SHR were randomly assigned to one of 2 experimental groups ( 12 rats per group):an SHR group (group S) and an SHR treated group (group T).Rats in group T were treated with 60 minutes of unloaded swimming exercise 6 times a week for 9 weeks.Their blood pressure was measured once a week.After the nine weeks HO-1 activity as well as the expression of HO-1 mRNA in vascular smooth muscle and the concentration of carbon monoxide in plasma were measured. Results After the 9 weeks of training,average systolic blood pressure in group T was close to that of group C.The systolic blood pressure of group S continued to rise,and was significantly higher than that of the other 2 groups at each time point.Average HO-1 activity in group S (637.94 ± 73.637 ) reduced significantly compared with that of group C (786.20 ± 74.698) or with that of group T ( 1036.53 ± 140.63 ).That of group T was significantly higher than that of group C.The average expression of HO1 mRNA in group S (80.85 ± 6.953 ) was significantly higher than that of group C (45.15 ± 7.651 ) and lower than that of group T (90.70 ± 11.20),and the differences were statistically significant at the 5% level of confidence.The average level of expression of HO-1 mRNA in the T group was significantly higher than that of group C.The plasma carbon monoxide content of S group was significantly lower than that of groups C and T. Conclusions Exercise can enhance the activity of HO-1 and the expression of HO-1 mRNA in vascular smooth muscle in rats with SHR to reduce blood pressure.

BACKGROUND:Proto-oncogene c-Src plays an important role in regulating cardiovascular diseases such as hypertension. At present, there were no studies concerning exercise intervention effects on c-Src expression in aortic endothelial cels so as to regulate hypertension. OBJECTIVE: To observe the effects of aerobic exercise on c-Src mRNA expression and c-Src activity in the aorta blood vessel endothelial cels of spontaneous hypertensive rats. METHODS: A total of 8 male Wistar rats were considered as normal control group. Sixteen spontaneous hypertensive rats were randomly assigned to 8 rats as spontaneous hypertension group and 8 rats as spontaneous hypertension exercise group. Rats in the spontaneous hypertension exercise group carried on 90 minutes unloaded aerobic swimming every day, 6 days a week, for 8 weeks. The rats in the normal control group and spontaneous hypertension group did not swim. Blood pressure of rats was measured once a week. 8 weeks later, the c-Src mRNA expression and c-Src activity were determined in aortic vascular endothelial cels of rats in each group. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: Compared with spontaneous hypertension group, blood pressure was lower, but c-Src mRNA expression and c-Src activity were significantly higher in the spontaneous hypertension exercise group. The c-Src activity and c-Src mRNA expression were higher in the spontaneous hypertension exercise group than normal control group and spontaneous hypertension group (P < 0.01). Results indicated that aerobic exercise can promote the increase in c-Src activity and c-Src mRNA expression in aortic endothelial cels of spontaneous hypertensive rats.

OBJECTIVE:To prepare transferrin modified paclitaxel-loaded liposome(TF-PTX-LP),and to study the tumor in-hibition effect. METHODS:TF-PTX-LP was prepared by thin-film method,and morphology of TF-PTX-LP was observed. Qualita-tive and quantitative investigation were used to value the uptake efficiency of TF-LP and LP by HepG2 cells. The proliferation inhi-bition rate of HepG2 cells was investigated after treated with PTX,PTX-LP and TF-PTX-LP for 24,48 and 72 h. Tumor spheres were prepared by using HepG2 cells. Effects of normal saline,PTX,PTX-LP and TF-PTX-LP on the volume of tumor spheres were investigated after 0,1,2,4,5,6 and 7 d treatment. HepG2 tumor-bearing nude mice model was induced. Inhibitory effects of normal saline,PTX,PTX-LP and TF-PTX-LP(8.5 mg/kg by PTX)on transplantable tumor of tumor-bearing nude mice were in-vestigated. RESULTS:TF-PTX-LP showed uniform spherical shape,with particle size of 100-120 nm. The fluorescence intensity of HepG2 cells treated with TF-LP was stronger than that treated with LP(P<0.01). Compared with PTX and PTX-LP,TF-PTX-LP showed higher proliferation inhibition rate(P<0.01). Compared with normal saline,PTX and PTX-LP,tumor spheres were small-er in volume after treated with TF-PTX-LP,and inhibition rate of tumor was higher in tumor-bearing nude mice;there were statisti-cal significance after treated for 6,7 d(P<0.01). The proliferation inhibition rate and tumor spheres volume changed in time-de-pendent manner. CONCLUSIONS:TF-PTX-LP which owns good tumor inhibition effect is prepared successfully.

Objective To observe the effects of hedysari polysaccharide (HPS) on myocardial fibrosis and the expression of MMP-2/TIMP-2 in model mice of diabetic cardiomyopathy; To discuss the mechanism of action of prevention and treatment of myocardial fibrosis in diabetes.Methods Sixty mice were randomly divided into model group, rosiglitazone group and HPS high-, mediume- and low-dose groups. The normal group was 12 non-transgenic male BKS.Cg-Dock7m+/+Leprdb/JNjumice with the same age. Each group was given relevant medicine for gavage, for 8 weeks. Blood glucose of mice before and after medication 2, 4, 6, and 8 weeks was detected. The levels of MMP-2, MMP-2 and MMP-9 in myocardium were measured by Masson staining. The protein expressions of MMP-2 and TIMP-1 in myocardium were detected by Western blot.Results Compared with the model group, the blood glucose of HPS (high- and medium dose) groups and rosiglitazone group decreased significantly. Masson staining showed that the green fibers in the model group significantly increased and rosiglitazone group and HPS high-dose group decreased compared with the model group. Western blot showed that the expressions of MMP-2 in model group and MMP-2/TIMP-2 ratio were declined significantly, while the expression of MMP-2 was increased and TIMP-2 was decreased significantly, and the ratio of MMP-2/TIMP-2 increased in rosiglitazone group and HPS high- and medium-dose group.Conclusion HPS may reduce the degree of myocardial fibrosis in model mice with diabetic cardiomyopathy. The therapeutic effect of HPS may be to relieve myocardial fibrosis in model mice by increasing the ratio of MMP-2/TIMP-2.

[ ABSTRACT] AIM:To investigate the effects of sulindac on oxidative stress in autism.METHODS:With an au-tistic model induced by prenatal exposure to valproic acid ( VPA) , we detected the expression of the signaling molecules of canonical Wnt pathway in the prefrontal cortex ( PFC) and hippocampus ( HC) of autistic rats treated with sulindac.The protein expression levels of glycogen synthase kinase 3β(GSK-3β), β-catenin and 4-hydroxynonenal (4-HNE) were ob-served by Western blotting.The mRNA expression of thioredoxin(Trx)1 and Trx2 was assessed by semi-quantitative RT-PCR.RESULTS:The protein level of GSK-3βand mRNA levels of Trx1 and Trx2 were lower, whereas the protein expres-sion levels ofβ-catenin and 4-HNE were higher in VPA group than those in control group.In contrast, the protein levels of GSK-3βwere significantly higher in the animals treated with both VPA and sulindac than those in VPA group, while the lev-els ofβ-catenin and 4-HNE were decreased.CONCLUSION:Sulindac attenuates oxidative stress in the pathogenesis of au-tism, suggesting the up-regulation of the Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway disrupts oxidative homeostasis and further facili-tates susceptibility to autism.
