Background Retinal hypoxia is one of primary causes of retinal neovascularization,and its mechanism is research hot topic.Studies showed that hypoxia stimulates the activation of many trancripation factors and vascular endothelial cells,which leads to angiogenesis.Besides to the vascular endothelial growth factor,the effect of adenosine on angiogenesis is increasingly concerned.Objective This study was to invastigate the relationship of biological behaviour of human microvascular endothelial cells (HMEC-1) under the hypoxia and adenosine,and to explore the effect of adenosine on angiogenesis under hypoxia.Methods HMEC-1 cell line was cultured in vitro,and the cells were divided into normoxia group and hypoxia group.The cells in the normoxia group were cultured under the 5% CO2 environment,and those in the hypoxia group were cultured under the 1% O2,94% N2 and 5% CO2 environment.The proliferation ability and percentage of the cells were assayed by cell counting kit-8 (CCK8) and EDU.The migration number and invasive number of the cells were detected by transwell chamber.The expressions of CD39 and CD73 proteins in the cells were tested by Western blot and immunofluorescence technique,and the level of adenosine was measured by high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC).Results The proliferation values (absobancy) were 0.715-±0.067 and 0.821 ±0.056 in the normoxia group and the hypoxia group in 12 hours after culture,and those in 24 hours were 0.946±0.028 and 0.998±0.028,showing significant increase in the hypoxia group compared with the normoxia group (t12h =3.805,t24h =3.222,all at P < 0.01).The precentage of the proliferation in the hypoxia group was evidently higher than that in the normoxia group (t =-6.868,P<0.01).The number of the cell migration and invasion in 24 hours after culture was 185.3 ± 10.594 and 74.2± 10.741 respectively in the normoxia group,and that in the hypoxia group was 300.7±22.853 and 107.5±7.007,with significant differences between the two groups (t=-12.124,-6.367,both at P<0.01).The expression levels of CD39 and CD73 proteins in the hypoxia group were significantly higher than those in the normoxia group in bothl2 hours and 24 hours after culture(all at P<0.05),and the adenosine content in the cells is gradually increased in 2,6,12,24 and 36 hours after culture,with the highest content in 36 hours.The adenosine content was significantly higher in the hypoxia group than in the normoxia group at various time points (t2h =2.469,P =0.017;t6h =5.442,P<0.001;t12h =3.841,P<0.001;t24h =4.458,P<0.001;t36h =2.757,P =0.008;t48h =3.319,P =0.002).Conclusions Compared with the normoxia group,the proliferation,migration and invasion abilities of HMEC-1 are stronger,meanwhile,the expression of CD39 and CD73 as well as the adenosine level in the cells are all increased under the hypoxic condition.It is suggested that the activation of human microvascular endothelial cells might be significantly related to the level of adenosine and its key enzymes.

Objective To investigate the relation between anormalities of fetal abdominal great vessels and heterotaxy, the clinical significance of screening fetal heterotaxy by the abnormalities of fetal abdominal great vessels. Methods 6532 fetuses from our hospital were scanned and the fetuses with abdominal great vessels abnormalities were included. Parameters of fetal growth, abdominal great vessels and anatomical survey were detected. Results Forty-five cases (0.7%) of fetal abdominal great vessels abnormalities were detected prenatally. Forty-two cases were confirmed postnatally, including 35 cases of heterotaxy syndrome and 7 cases of situs inversus totalis and 3 cases missed. The incidences of the abnormal fetus,heterotaxy syndrome and situs inversus totalis of the fetuses with abnormal abdominal great vessels were higher than that of the fetuses with normal abdominal great vessels, the differences were statistically significant( P< 0.001). The incidence of both type Ⅰ and type Ⅱ of the heterotaxy syndrome were significantly higher than that of type Ⅳ (P<0.001). There was a high incidence of left isomerism in abnormal type Ⅰ and of right isomerism in abnormal type Ⅱ , the differences were statistically significant (P< 0.001). Conclusions Abnormal great vessels abnormalities have strong relations to heterotaxy and situs inversus which can be used as effective and simple indicator in screening heterotaxy syndrome.
