Objective To study the estradiolNGF regulatory cascade in retinal endothelial cells. Methods Retinachoroids vascular endothelial cell line RF/6A from rhesus was cultured in M199 medium contain 20% FBS.mRNA of ER,NGF and its receptors,TrkA and P75 NTR were detected with RTPCR.The cells were incubated with NGF,VEGF,antibodies against NGF or VEGF,and K252a(100nmol/L),the specific inhibitor of TrkA,separately or in different combination.MTT based cell counting assay was used to study the viability of the cells.The apoptosis was evaluated by FACS,mass migration by wound healing assay,and tubogenesis by AngioMatrix assay. Results We amplified the specific fragments of cDNA of ER,NGF and NGF receptor TrkA using RTPCR.10?nmol/L1??mol/L estradiol augments the proliferation and increases the viability of RF/6A in a dosage dependent manner.In the wound healing based migration assay,we found the similar alteration.This effects of estradiol was partially blocked by NGF neutralized antibody and K252a.Apoptosis rates were at the similar level among the groups.For the tubogenesis of RF/6A,we found no augmentation by NGF,and no blocked augmentation by estradiol.Conclusion NGF,first identified as the survival factor of nerve system,now also seemed to be an activator of retinal endothelial cell,is under the regulation of estrogen.The proliferation and migration,but not the tubogenesis of retinal endothelial cells are regulated by this regulatory cascade.

BACKGROUNDTobacco-specific 4-(methylnitrosamino)-1-(3-pyridyl)-1-butanone (NNK) is the most important carcinogen in cigarette. Models induced by NNK are widely used in investigations about the mechanisms of pulmonary neoplasia and chemoprevention studies. The aim of this study is to explore the pulmonary precancerous lesions induced by NNK and its possible mechanisms.
METHODSFifteen Wistar rats were divided into two trial groups, in which the high-dose group was instilled with iodized oil including 10 mg (50 mg/kg) NNK into the left lower lobar bronchus, and the low-dose group received 5mg ( 25mg/kg) NNK. Another 15 Wistar rats were instilled only with iodized oil as control group. All rats were examined immediately after instillation and followed up periodically by pulmogram. The pulmonary tissues of rats were pathologically examined, and the expression of AE1/AE3, PCNA and p53 was detected by immunohistochemical method.
RESULTSThe pulmograms showed that the iodized oil localized at the bottom of left lobe and disappeared 107 days later. In trial group, 10 of 15 rats (67%) had nodus at the bottom of left lobe. All of rats in trial group (15/15) displayed atypical hyperplasia in alveolar region, showing single or multiple layers of proliferative epithelial cells along intact alveolar septa with irregular and non-discrete margins of lesion, but continuous alveolar spaces were not obliterated by proliferative epithelial cells. Ten of 15 rats in trial group showed severe atypical hyperplasia of glandular epithelium with occasional infiltrating to muscular layer. All of those atypical hyperplasia cells showed positive AE1/AE3 expression. The positive rate of PCNA was 90% (9/10) and 100% (5/5) in low-dose group and high-dose group respectively, which was significantly higher than that in control group (13%, 2/15) (P=0.000, P=0.001). The positive rate of p53 expression was 50% (5/10) and 60% (3/5) in low-dose group and high-dose group respectively, which was significantly higher than that in control group (0) (P=0.005, P=0.009). However, there was no remarkable difference in PCNA and p53 expression between low-dose group and high-dose group (P > 0.05).
CONCLUSIONSTransbronchial instillation of iodized oil including tobacco-specific NNK can induce pulmonary lesions as atypical hyperplasia of alveolar cell and glandular epithelium in Wistar rats. This model can be used in experimental studies about tobacco-related lung cancer.

Objective:To study the mechanism of Yangyin Yiqi mixture on the clinical symptoms in convalescent period of different types of pneumonia based on network pharmacology, so as to provide more options for the prevention and treatment of pneumonia with Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM).Methods:Based on the TCM theory of "treating different diseases with the same method", the Integrative Pharmacology-Based Research Platform of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCMIP) V 2.0 was used to screen the active components, action targets and disease targets of the herbs in Yangyin Yiqi mixture. The disease-target-medicine network map was constructed by Cytoscape software and the Reactome enrichment analysis of key targets were carried out.Results:Seven different types of clinical sympotms of pneumonia in convalescent period were established, including fatigue, tachypnea, thirst, palpitations, hyperhidrosis, poor appetite and cough. After the screening, a total of 276 active components and 177 key targets were obtained, 37 common targets of this herb and pneumonia were obtained. The key targets were associated with cell metabolism, apoptosis, inflammatory response, immune response, and stress response, etc. There are 17 common targets between Polygonatum and 7 clinical symptoms in the recovery period of different types of pneumonia. Reactome enrichment analysis showed that the pathways involved in the core genes of Yangyin Yiqi mixture in the treatment of the main symptoms of different types of pneumonia in the recovery period were mainly enriched in: by regulating genes and protein translation to affect the virus or cell function, immune regulation and inflammatory response and regulate the function of nervous system, and prevent viral canceration.Conclusions:The effective components in Yangyin Yiqi mixture may regulate phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K), interleukin-4, interleukin-13 (IL-4, IL-13) and inhibitory kappa protein (IκBα) by intervention of PIK3CA, MAPK3, BCL2 and NF-κB2 and other targets to promote the recovery of pneumonia. This study could provide a theoretical basis for the prevention and treatment of pneumonia in the recovery period.
