AIM:To observe the effects of supraoptic ADH neurons and central diabetes insipidus(CDI)in Wistar rats at different times after hypophysectomy.METHODS:Hypophysectomy was undergone by stereotaxic instrument.Water intake,urine output and urine specific gravity(SG)were observed each day.The survival rate of supraoptic ADH neurons was determined by immunofluorescence after hypophysectomy at different times.RESULTS:The rats manifested triphasic CDI after hypophysectomy.The average water intake in experiment group was 73.9 mL vs 30.9 mL in control group(P0.05),but the cellular body hypertrophy appeared.The survival rate at 10th day was 72%(P0.05),but they were all less than the 10th day(P

Objective To explore the effect of 14-3-3 β gene on biological behavior ofglioma cell line and its mechanism.Methods Conventional cultured SVGp12,U251,U87 and SHG-44 cell lines and U251 cells silenced by 14-3-3[β-small interfering RNA (siRNA) were collected; real time-PCR and Western blotting were used to detect the 14-3-3β gene and protein expressions in these cells.Conventional cultured U251 cells at logarithmic phase were divided into three groups:experimental group (14-3-3β-siRNA transfection),negative control group (siRNA transfection) and blank control group; 3-(4,5-Dimethyl-2-thiazolyl)-2,5-diphenyl-2H-tetrazolium bromide assay was used to assess the proliferation of U251 cells,flow cytometry was used to test the cell apoptosis,and cell migration was analyzed by Transwell chamber assay.Results As compared with those in the normal glial cells,14-3-3β gene and protein expression levels in the glioma cells were significantly higher (P＜0.05); as compared with negative control and blank control groups,U251 cells in the experimental group had significantly decreased gene and protein expressions of 14-3-3β,decreased proliferation and migration abilities,significantly increased apoptosis rate and p53 mRNA level (P＜0.05).Conclusion Silence of 14-3-3 β gene decreases U251 cells proliferation and migration through p53 mediated pathway; consequently,a new explanation about how 14-3-3 β regulates glioma cells proliferation and migration can be clarified,and a potential target for glioma treatment can be provided.
