Objective To study the value of flow cytometry in identifying metastatic CK positive and negative nonhematopoietic neoplasms in bone marrow. Methods Twenty-six cell lines representing ten epithelial neoplasms, one lymphoma cell line and one human T cell lymphoblast-like cell line were purchased from American Tissue Culture Collection. From July 2009 to June 2010, five nonhematopoietic neoplasms,fifteen hematopoietic neoplasms and fifteen control patients with complete remession after hematopoietic stem cell transplantation were collected in Beijing Daopei Hospital. Cryopreserved cell lines were thawed and cultured until they entered log phase. After permeabilization, cell lines were analyzed by staining with cytoplasmic CK-FITC antibody using four-color flow cytometer. The percent CK positivity was measured by comparing with negative control. Bone marrow samples were stained with membrane and cytoplasmic antibodies according to our routine methods. Based on lineage markers and blast markers as well as CK expression, the relevant hematopoietic diseases were diagnosed or excluded according to 2008 World Health Organization diagnosis standards. Results All epithelial neoplasm cell lines expressed CK, with average positive percentage 81.1%. All the lymphoid tumor cell lines didn't express CK. Two epithelial neoplasms were CK positive, 100. 0% in thyroid carcinoma and 98. 2% in lung carcinoma, respectively. Hematopoietic tumor and control samples didn't express CK. They expressed relevant hematopoietic markers, such as CD45 as well as lineage markers, or CD138 and cytoplasmic immunoglobulin light chain. Three nonepithelial nonhematopoietic neoplasms didn't express CK. CK positive or negative nonhematopoietic neoplasms didn't express hematopoietic markers such as CD45, HLA-ABC and HLA-DR DP DQ, as well as lineage specific markers. Besides, CK positive might be helpful to suggest epithelial origin. Conclusion Flow cytometry with hematopoietic markers and CK can effectively exclude hematopoietic tumor and identify metastatic CK positive and negative nonhematopoietic neoplasms in bone marrow.

BACKGROUND:HLA-DRB1 is related to the pathogenesis of alergic rhinitis. Construction ofHLA-DRB1 gene knockout animal models not only elucidates the pathogenesis of alergic rhinitis, but also provides a good way for the elucidation of the pathogenesis of alergic rhinitis-related diseases. OBJECTIVE:To establish the HLA-DRB1gene knockout animal models. METHODS:Homozygous, wild-type and heterozygous mice were obtained by inbreeding of the heterozygous mice. Confirmed by gene and protein identification, 24 female wild-type (H2-eb1+/+) mice and 12 H2-eb1-/-mice aged 8 weeks were selected according to the random number table. 12 H2-eb1+/+ mice and 12 H2-eb1-/- mice were sensitized with ovalbumin to establish the mouse models of alergic rhinitis. Another 12 mice were sensitized with PBS as comparison. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Compared with the control mice, serum levels of ovalbumin-specific IgE and interleukin-4 were significantly increased, while serum level ofγ-interferon was significantly decreased in the mouse models of alergic rhinitis. Serum levels of IgE and interleukin-4 were lower, while serumγ- interferon level was higher, inH2-eb1-/-gene knockout mice of alergic rhinitis than those in the H2-eb1+/+ gene knockout wild-type mice. These results suggest thatH2-eb1 gene may play an important role in regulating Th1/Th2 imbalance in the pathogenesis of alergic rhinitis.

OBJECTIVETo investigate the transcriptional regulation of pacemaker channel I(f) mediated by vasoactive peptide endothelin-1 (ET-1) in neonatal rat ventricular myocytes and its mechanism.

METHODSNeonatal rat ventricular myocytes were enzymatically isolated. I(f) current was recorded using the whole-cell patch-clamp technique. The expression of hyperpolarization-activated cyclic nucleotide-gated channel (HCN) isoforms HCN2 and HCN4 were measured by quantitative RT-PCR.

RESULTSET-1 increased the expression of HCN2 and HCN4 mRNA in a dose- and time-dependent manner. These effects were blocked by specific ETA receptor antagonist BQ-123 but not the ETB receptor antagonist BQ-788. The effects of ET-1 on HCN2 and HCN4 mRNA expression were not affected by the p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) inhibitor (SB-203580).

CONCLUSIONThese findings indicate that ET-1 stimulates the expression of pacemaker channel I(f) in cardiomyocytes via ETA receptor through a p38 MAPK-independent signaling pathway, which might be linked to the intrinsic arrhythmogenic potential of ET-1.
