AIM and METHODS: The effects of angiotensin II(AngII) on the activation of three transcription factors were investigated by using EMSA and western-blot methods in endothelial cells respectively. RESULTS: The EMSA results showed that AngII stimulation could increase NF-κB, SP-1 and AP-1 activation in ECV304, which suggested that activity changes in these three transcription factors could partly contribute to the dysfunction of endothelial cells.The binding affinity of NF-κB, SP-1 and AP-1 with corresponding oligonucleotides in AngII-treated ECV-304 were respectively 10.98,3.89,1.33 times as large as in control. The nuclear appearance of AngII-activated NF-κB was examined by western-blot, which corroborates our results from EMSA analysis. While as the protein appearance of AP-1 and SP-1 in nucleus, were little higher than the control group. The result of western-blot suggested that AngII-induced EC activation of these three transcription factors maybe mainly due to the enhanced binding ability to its corresponding cis-acting factors. CONCLUSION: NF-κB, a ubiquitously exposed nuclear transcription factor, is involved, together with SP-1,AP-1, in the regulation of endothelial cell dysfunction related to cardiovascular diseases such as atherosclerosis and hypertension.

AIM: To determine whether the high mobility group protein I (HMGI) is able to bind to the upstream sequence of platelet-derived growth factor B-chain gene and to characterize the HMGI-binding AT-rich regions. METHODS: Recombinant human HMGI (rhHMGI) protein was prepared and electrophoresis mobility shift assay (EMSA) was used. RESULTS: The binding of rhHMGI to PDGF-B (-1 758 / +43 bp) was observed in vitro. Two major HMGI-binding fragments -1 392 / -1 180 bp and -188 / +43 bp were identified, which contained the same AT-rich sequence TTTATAAA (-1 333 / -1 326 bp, -1 314 / -1 307 bp and -30 / -23 bp). An oligonucleotide bound to the TTTATAAA and the GAGACC, the core sequence of the shear stress response element of the PDGF-B, could also bind to the HMGI. Furthermore, HMGI facilitated the binding of NF-?B to the GAGACC in the oligonucleotide. CONCLUSION: The HMGI could bind to the upstream sequence of the PDGF-B gene via the AT-rich sequence TTTATAAA, which may play a role in the transcriptional regulation of the PDGF-B gene.

Objective To study the potential efficacy of transplanted bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) in treating and repairing the acute lung injury in animal models. Methods MSCs were isolated from mouse bone marrow, cultrued and amplified in vitro. The lipopolysaccharide (LPS) was inhaled through postnasal tract to cause acute lung injury in mice and the MSCs labeled by Brdu were administrated via vein into the mice. The migration and differention of the cells were identified by immunostaining and double immunostaining. The pathological changes, pulmonary edema index and the content of IL-1β in lung homogenate were used to accese the therapeutical effect of MSCs. Results The cultured MSCs dispalyed a positive CD44 and a negative CD34. The Brdu-labeled cells were detected in the lungs of the recipient 4 days after transplantation, indicating its origin of MSCs. Theses cells also exhibited characteristics of aveolar epithelials, expressing the cytokeratin-the marker of epithelium. Compared with the injuried ones, the mice treated with MSCs showed a decreased pulmonary edema in-dex and IL-1β content in the lung homogenate. Conclusion These data suggest a therapeutical effects of MSCs in treating and repairing the mouse acute lung injury.

Objective:To explore any effect of mechanical vibration on the expression of estrogen and brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) in ovariectomized rats with an osteoporotic fracture.Methods:Thirty 3-month-old female Wistar rats were divided randomly into a control group, an ovariectomy group and a vibration group, each of 10. Fractures were induced in the rats of all three groups. Twenty minutes of whole-body vertical vibration was applied to the vibration group at a frequency of 35Hz, 5 days a week for 6 weeks. After 2 and 6 weeks the fracture healing of each group was evaluated using X-rays, the levels of hippocampal estrogen were measured using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays and fracture-end BDNF was quantified by immunoblotting.Results:After 2 and 6 weeks of vibration the average fracture healing in the vibration group was significantly greater than in the other 2 groups. The average estrogen content in the hippocampus of the vibration group was significantly higher than in the other 2 groups after both 2 and 6 weeks, while the average BDNF content in their fracture ends was significantly lower. The BDNF expression at the fracture end was significantly correlated with the fracture healing.Conclusion:Mechanical vibration can promote the expression of estrogen and BDNF in the hippocampus and accelerate fracture healing in osteoporotic rats.

OBJECTIVE:
Early bolting of Saposhnikovia divaricata has seriously hindered its medicinal value and sustainable development of resources. The molecular mechanism of bolting and flowering of S. divaricata is still unclear and worth of research. In our study, we explored the transcriptome of the genes related to the bolting and flowering of S. divaricata.
METHODS:
The transcriptome library was constructed, sequenced, assembled and annotated from the bolting and unbolting leaves of S. divaricata by high-throughput sequencing at the bud and flowering stage. Focus on the pathways related to bolting and flowering in plants, and exploring genes. The expression of seven candidate genes was verified by real-time fluorescence quantitative PCR (qRT-PCR).
RESULTS:
Transcriptome results showed that 249 889 422 high-quality clean reads were obtained. A total of 67 866 unigenes were assembled with an average length of 948.1 bp. Trinity de Novo assembly produced 67 866 unigenes with an average length of 948.1 bp. Among 993 differentially expressed genes, 484 genes were significantly up-regulated and 509 genes were down-regulated in the SdM group. A total of 79 GO terms were significantly enriched for differentially expressed genes. KEGG results showed that 11 154 unigenes were enriched in 89 pathways. And 21 candidate genes related to bolting and flowering of S. divaricata were excavated. The qRT-PCR results showed that expression trends of HDA9, PHYB, AP2, TIR1, Hsp90, CaM, and IAA7 were consistent with transcriptomic sequencing results. In addition, RNA-seq had identified 10 740 transcription factors and classified them into 58 families by their conserved domains. Further studies showed that the transcription factors regulating the flowering of S. divaricata were mainly distributed in the NAC, MYB_related, HB-other, ARF, and AP2 families.
CONCLUSION
Based on the results of this study, it was found that the plant hormone signal transduction pathway was one of the decisive factors to control bolting and flowering. Among them, auxin related genes IAA and TIR1 are the key genes in the bolting and flowering process of S. divaricata.

Objective:
To investigate the reversal of drug resistance of drug-resistant hepatoma cell line HepG2/DDP by emetine and its mechanism.
Methods :
The drug-resistant hepatoma cell line HepG2/DDP was established by high-dose cisplatin(DDP) shock combined with low-dose continuous induction. Reverse virtual screening, molecular docking, surface plasmon resonance(SPR) and Western blot assays were employed to explore the target of emetine. The target was validated by transfection assayin vivo. The inhibitory effect of emetine combined with DDP on the proliferation of HepG2/DDP cells was detected by cytotoxicity assay. The sensitization effect of emetine was verified by flow cytometry, and the expression of the apoptosis related proteins BCL2, Bax and Cleaved-caspase-3 were analyzed by Western blot.
Results :
Emetine enhanced the sensitivity of HepG2/DDP cells to DDP and reduced the resistance index(RI) from 3.69 to 0.93. Reverse virtual screening, molecule docking and SPR results showed that emetine can stably bind to PARP-1. Western blot assays showed that emetine had a potent enzymatic inhibitory activity against PARP-1in vivo. Furthermore, emetine's potentiation of DDP in HEPG2/DDP cells nearly disappeared when the cells were transfected with siRNAs against PARP-1. Flow cytometry showed that emetine could enhance the proapoptotic effect of DDP on HepG2/DDP cells.
Conclusion
Emetine can enhance the sensitivity of HepG2/DDP cells to DDP, and its mechanism may be related to its inhibition of PARP-1.
