ObjectiveTo investigate the effect of bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) on gene and protein expression of toll-like receptor, TLR2/4 of the rat alveolus macrophages so as to discuss the effect of MSCs transplantation on the early inflammatory mediators and the regulatory mechanism of the inflammatory cascade.MethodsThe alveolus macrophages were randomly divided into the PBS control group (n = 24), MSCs control group (n = 24), lipopolysaccharide (LPS) control group (n=24) and LPS + MSCs treatment group (n =24).All groups were taken time-points of 1, 3,6, 12 hours.Positive cell rate of MSCs with surface mark and the expression level of TLR2/4 protein on macrophage were detected by flow cytometry.The mRNA level of TLR2/4 expression on macrophage was detected by RT-PCR and the concentrations of TNF-o in cell culture supernatants by ELISA at the different time points.ResultsCompared with the PBS control group and MSCs control group, TLR2/4 mRNA and protein levels were significantly up-regulated, markedly increased at one hour and peaked at 12 hours (P ＜0.01) and the TNF-α concentrations in cell culture supernatants were significantly up-regulated and peaked at 6 hours in the LPS control group (P ＜ 0.01).Compared with the LPS control group, mRNA and protein level of TLR2/4 and TNF-o concentrations in the cell culture supernatants of the LPS + MSCs group were markedly down-regulated (P ＜ 0.01).ConclusionsWith LPS stimulation, TLR2/4 mRNA and protein expressions as well as TNF-αt concentration increase, when the peak of the TNF-αt concentration appears slightly earlier, indicating that there may be a positive feedback loop between TLR2/4 expression and TNF-ot.MSCs can significantly reduce TLR2/4 mRNA and protein expressions as well as TNF-α concentration after LPS stimulation, indicating that MSCs can break up the positive feedback loop.

BACKGROUNDMost of the researches about lung cancer have focused on the polymorphisms of single gene rather than the cooperation of the genes. The aim of this study is to investigate the correlation of gene polymorphisms of cytochrome P450 2E1 (CYP2E1) Rsa I and cytochrome P450 1A1 (CYP1A1) independently and in combination with the risk of lung cancer.

METHODSA case-control study which included 91 lung cancer cases and 91 hospital-based controls was carried out, and all of them were the Han nationality in Guangzhou district. Blood samples were collected for detecting CYP2E1 Rsa I and CYP1A1 gene polymorphisms by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and restriction fragment length polymorphisms (RFLP).

RESULTSNo significant difference was observed in genotype frequencies of CYP2E1 Rsa I and CYP1A1 Msp I between case and control groups. Odd ratio was 5.48 and 1.51 respectively without significant difference (P > 0.05). Individuals with CYP2E1 Rsa I C1C1 and CYP1A1 m2m2 genotype had 3.00-fold risk of developing lung cancer compared with those who had CYP2E1 Rsa I C1C2 and CYP1A1 m1m1 genotype (P < 0.05, 95% CI 1.03-8.78).

CONCLUSIONSSingle polymorphism of CYP2E1 and CYP1A1 doesn't increase the risk of developing lung cancer, but the combination of two genetic polymorphisms significantly increases the risk of developing lung cancer.

Objective: To investigate the abnormalities of the blood system in landfill workers. Methods: A cohort study was conducted for 224 landfill workers who were followed up for 6 consecutive years with abnormal routine blood test results and a low platelet count as the outcome events. The life-table method was used to analyze the incidence rates of these two outcome events, and the incidence rates were compared between first-and second-line workers. Results: A total of 71 workers had abnormal routine blood test results, among whom 29 had abnormal leukocyte count, 14 had abnormal erythrocyte count, 40 had abnormal platelet count, 17 had abnormal hemoglobin, and 29 had a reduction in platelet count. For these landfill workers, the 6-year abnormal rate of routine blood test results was 43.2%, and the incidence rate of low platelet count within 6 years was 13.5%. The first-line workers had a significantly lower abnormal rate of routine blood test results than the second-line workers (P=0.020) , and the relative risk of abnormal routine blood test results in the first-and second-line workers was 0.592. There was no significant difference in the incidence rate of low platelet count between the two groups of workers (P≥0.05) . Conclusion The landfill has an adverse effect on the blood system of landfill workers, and the second-line workers have greater impairment than the first-line workers.
