Objective To evaluate the performance of transfection with a complex plasmid encoding green fluorescent protein tagged CatD (GFP-CatD)in researches on chronic photodamaged fibroblasts. Methods Human dermal fibroblasts (HSFs)were irradiated with ultraviolet A (UVA)at 25 J/cm2 once a day for 21 consecutive days to establish a chronic photodamaged cell model. A plasmid encoding GFP-CatD was constructed and transfected into some chronic photodamaged fibroblasts (experimental group). The photodamaged HSFs receiving no treatment served as the blank control group, and those transfected with the negative plasmid encoding GFP only as the negative control group. After additional culture, fluorescence microscopy and Western-blot analysis were performed to observe and measure the expression of GFP-CatD in HSFs respectively, flow cytometry and methyl thiazolyl tetrazolium (MTT)assay to evaluate the apoptosis and proliferation of chronic photodamaged fibroblasts respectively. Results Fluorescence microscopy showed the expression of GFP-CatD in cytoplasm of chronic photodamaged fibroblasts at 96 hours after transfection with the GFP-CatD-encoding plasmid. Western-blot analysis revealed that the expression of CatD in the experimental group was 1.28 times that in the blank control group. There were no significant differences in the apoptosis rate(4.29% ± 1.30%vs. 3.03% ± 1.70% , P > 0.05)or proliferative rate (45.20% ± 4.70% vs. 43.60 ± 3.90% , P > 0.05)between the experimental group and blank control group. Conclusion CatD could be traced in chronic photodamaged fibroblasts with no changes in biological activity or cell cycle after transfection with the GFP-CatD-encoding complex plasmid.

Objective To investigate the role of mitochondrial permeability transition pore (mPTP) of hippocampal neurons in process of hydrogen-rich saline attenuating global cerebral ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) injury in rats.Methods Seventy-two male Sprague Dawley rats,weighing 250-300 g,were randomly divided into six groups ( n =12 each):sham operation group (group S),cerebral ischemia-reperfusion group (group IR),normal saline group (group NS),hydrogen-rich saline group (group H),atractyloside group (group A) and hydrogen-rich saline + atractyloside group (group HA).Global cerebral I/R injury was produced by four-vessel occlusion method.Bilateral vertebral arteries were cauterized.Then bilateral common carotid arteries were occluded for 15min and followed by reperfusion.In groups H and HA,hydrogen-rich saline 5 ml/kg was injected intraperitoneally immediately after reperfusion,while equal volume of normal saline was injected in the other four groups.The rats in groups A and HA received intracerebroventricular injection of atractyloside 15 μl 10 min before reperfusion,while groups NS and H received intracerebroventricular injection of equal volume of normal saline.After the neurological behavior was evaluated at 24 h of reperfusion,8 rats in each group were sacrificed and the hippocampi were immediately isolated and homogenized followed by density gradient centrifugation.The opening degree of mPTP was assayed with spectrophotometry and the mitochondrial membrane potential (MMP) was detected with Rhodamine 123 method.Four rats in each group were killed at 72 h of reperfusion and the brains were removed for microscopic examination of the area CA1 of the hippocampus and determination of the number of normal pyramidal neurons.Results Compared with group S,the neurological behavior was compromised,MMP was decreased and mPTP opening degree was enhanced in the other five groups ( P < 0.05).The neurological behavior was better,MMP was increased and mPTP opening degree was decreased in groups H and HA as compared with group IR ( P < 0.05).Compared with group H,the neurological behavior was compromised,MMP was decreased and mPTP opening degree was enhanced in group HA ( P < 0.05).Compared with group IR,the number of normal pyramidal neurons at 72 h of reperfusion in the CA1 region of the hippocampus was higher in group HA ( P <0.05).The injury of the CA1 region of the hippocampus at 72 h of reperfusion was attenuated in group H as compared with groups IR,NS,A and HA.Conclusion Hydrogen-rich saline can attenuate global cerebral I/R injury throngh inhibiting the mPTP opening and reducing the dissipation of MMP,thus maintaining the mitochondrial function.
