[ ABSTRACT] AIM:To explore the effect of sterol regulatory element-binding protein 2 ( SREBP-2) on tunicamy-cin-induced endoplasmic reticulum stress ( ERS) in chondrocytes.METHODS:After isolation of human normal chondro-cytes and osteoarthritis ( OA) chondrocytes, the normal cells were cultured and treated with tunicamycin and SREBP-2 siR-NA.After 24 h treatment, fluorescent quantitative RT-PCR ( RT-qPCR) was applied to quantify microRNA-185 ( miR-185) levels.The cell apoptotic rate was determined by flow cytometry.The expression of SREBP-2 and ERS-related pro-teins, C/EBP homologous protein (CHOP), phosphorylated eukaryotic initiation factor-2α(p-eIF2α) and activating tran-scription factor 4 (ATF4), and the expression of apoptosis-related proteins, Bcl-2, Bax and caspase-3, were determined by Western blot.The caspase-3 activity kit was used to determine the caspase-3 activity.RESULTS: Compared with hu-man normal chondrocytes, both SREBP-2 up-regulation and miR-185 down-regulation were observed in OA chondrocytes (P<0.05).SREBP-2 siRNA transfection enhanced tunicamycin-inhibited miR-185 level (P<0.05).miR-185 overex-pression reduced tunicamycin-induced SREBP-2 expression ( P <0.05 ) .OA control group and tunicamycin treatment group consistently resulted in ERS and cell apoptosis with concomitant enhancement of CHOP, p-eIF2αand ATF4 proteins, increases in Bax and caspase-3 proteins, and reduction of Bcl-2 (P<0.05).However, SREBP-2 silencing significantly re-versed these effects ( P<0.05) .The apoptotic rates were consistent with the expression tendency of apoptosis-related pro-teins (P<0.05).SREBP-2 siRNA transfection markedly down-regulated tunicamycin-induced caspase-3 activity, which was notably blocked by miR-185 inhibition (P<0.05).CONCLUSION:SREBP-2 silencing may inhibit tunicamycin-in-duced ERS and cell apoptosis via up-regulating miR-185 expression.

Objective To discuss the relationship between part of risk factors and the characters of coronary artery lesion of different gender patients with coronary heart disease(CHD). Methods Two hundred and eight patients who were diagnosed CHD by coronary angiography (CAG) were selected. All patients were divided into male group (122 cases) and female group (86 cases). The characters of CHD and part of clinical data in different gender CHD patients were compared and analyzed. The independent risk factors of different gender CHD patients were analyzed. Results The age of onset in female group was later than male group:(69.22±10.12) years vs.(62.80±11.34) years, P=0.000. The incidence rate of hypertension and diabetes in female group were significantly higher than those in male group: 83.7%(72/86) vs. 63.1%(77/122), 53.5%(46/86) vs. 32.8%(40/122);and the levels of total cholesterol(TC), high density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C), low density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) in female group were significantly higher than those in male group:(5.16±1.26) mmol/L vs. (4.60±1.23) mmol/L,(1.16±0.27) mmol/L vs. (1.05±0.27) mmol/L, (3.17±1.16) mmol/L vs. (2.74±1.06) mmol/L;the level of uric acid (UA) in female group was significantly lower than that in male group: (319.83±90.05)μmol/L vs. (357.91±98.51)μmol/L, there were significantly differences(P<0.01). The level of trigalloyl glycerol (TG) in two groups had no significant difference: (1.91 ± 1.23) mmol/L vs. (1.75±0.97) mmol/L, P=0.298. Logistic regression analysis showed that age and diabetes were the risk factors of CHD in different gender (P<0.01 or <0.05). Conclusions There are different risk factors between different gender CHD patients, while the coronary artery lesion is similar. Diabetes is the most important independent risk factor of different gender CHD patients, which is more important for female patients with more risk factors.
