Objective To establish the swine acute heart failure model for surgical experiment, and evaluate the heart function by continuous cardiac index (CCI). Methods Swine heart failure model was attempted to establish by coronary ligation in six swines. CCI was obtained by Swan-Canz catheters and Vigilance monitor, and hemodynamic, biochemical and ultrasonocardiographic results were utilized to evaluate the changes of heart function. Results Five swines accomplished the experiment. Compared with basic status, there were significant differences in mean arterial pressure (MAP) , pulmonary artery systolic pressure (PASP), mixed venous oxygen saturation ( SVO_2) and CCI for swines with heart failure ( P < 0.05) , there was no significant change in biochemical parameters, while left ventricle ejection fraction ( LVEF) significantly decreased (P<0.05). Conclusion CCI is feasible in monitoring and evaluating heart function of animal model. The swine acute heart failure model established by coronary ligations can meet the needs of surgical experiment in principle.

Objective:To investigate the regulating molecules and acting mechanism of TAB182 in HR pathway.Methods:TAB182 in human breast cancer MCF-7 cells was knocked down by shRNA strategy, the TAB182 knockdown MCF-7 as the TAB182 knockdown group, and the MCF-7 cell using the shRNA negative control as the TAB182 negative control group. RNA sequencing and qRT-PCR were performed to screen and verify the differentially expressed genes of HR pathway related to TAB182 depression. Western blot was used to detect protein expression. Immunofluorescence staining of nuclear RAD51 and BrdU was used to check the 3′ ssDNA formation by the end resection. The cell cycle arrest and apoptosis were measured by flow cytometry. Cloning formation assay was used to evaluate the sensitivity TAB182-knockdown cells to radiation.Results:Both quantitative RNA sequencing and qRT-PCR assays showed that TAB182-knockdown significantly decreased the mRNA expression of RPA2( t=17.97, P<0.05). Compared with the TAB182 negative control group, the protein level of RPA2, the number of RAD51 foci, and the 3′ ssDNA-binding nuclear protein marker BrdU in TAB182-knockdown cells were significantly reduced. At 4, 8, and 12 h after actinomycin D treatment, the attenuation of RPA2 mRNA in the TAB182-knockdown cells was accelerated ( t=5.37, 3.79, 3.69, P<0.05). Compared with the TAB182 negative control group, the radiosensitivity and radiation-induced apoptosis in the TAB182-knockdown group were increased ( t=3.48, 11.05, P<0.05), and at 24 h after irradiation, the cell cycle block time was prolonged ( t=8.40, P<0.01). Conclusions:TAB182 plays a role in maintaining RPA2 mRNA stability, thereby promoting HR repair. TAB182 knockdown cells are highly sensitive to ionizing radiation.
