Neuronal guidance factor Netrin-1 has been known to be involved in nervous system development by controlling neuronal migration through both chemoattractive and chemo-repulsive signaling by binding different receptors. Netrin-1 has been shown to play a positively regulatory role during inflammatory process recently. Since the chemorepulsive receptors were found in leukocytes, it is suggest that Netrin-1 played a protective role in tissue through inhibiting leukocyte trafficking and accumulating during inflammatory process in researches. It is demonstrated that Netrin-1 can limit inflammatory response through the involvement of inflammatory cascades, attenuate hypoxia-inducible tissue injury and suppress apoptosis concurrently. It is indicated that Netrin-1 can be a novel target in future through preventing and inhibiting inflammatory diseases in these researches. This review will focus on recent relevant advances and in-depth study to elucidate its mechanism of anti-inflammation.

An ultra-high performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry ( UHPLC-MS/MS ) method was developed and validated for the simultaneous determination of 9 kinds of trace endocrine disrupting chemicals in biological samples using ultrasonic-assisted extraction followed by purification with gel permeation chromatography ( GPC) and silica gel columns. The sample extracts were purified by Bio beads S-X3 GPC columns with cyclohexane/ethyl acetate (1:1, V/V) as mobile phase, and the target compounds were eluted in the fraction of 12-28 mL retention volume. Electrospray ionization source operated in positive mode and atmospheric pressure chemical ionization source operated in negative mode were used for mass spectrometric detection. Data acquisition was carried out in multiple reaction monitoring mode. Recoveries were predominately within 65 . 2%-118 . 0%. Method quantification limits were 0 . 1-9 . 7 ng/g dw ( dry weight ) . This method was successfully applied to the analysis of the target endocrine disrupting chemicals in carps collected from the Pearl River. with the exception of carbanilide and triclocarban, the rest analytes were detected in fish tissue samples, with the concentrations varied within the range of 0. 1-22. 6 ng/g dw.
