Chinese Journal of Dermatology 2003;0(10):-
Objective To investigate the relationship between the expression of endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS), vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and the angiogenesis in human malignant melanoma (MM). Methods Tissue sections from 31 MM patients were examined. The protein expression of eNOS and VEGF was detected using immunohistochemistry technique and morphological quantitative analysis. Microvessel density (MVD) was also counted by immunostaining with anti-FⅧRAg antibody. Results (1)The positive staining of eNOS and VEGF was detected in 71.4% (24 cases) and 83.9% (26 cases) of MM respectively. As negative control there was no staining in the nevus pigmentosus tissue sections. (2)There was a positive correlation between the expression of eNOS and VEGF in MM. (3)The positive correlation was also found between the MVD and the expression of eNOS and VEGF in MM. The number of MVD was higher in MM than that in nevus pigmentosus tissue. (4)The lymphatic metastasis was not correlated with the expression of eNOS and VEGF. Conclusion The number of the MVD increases along with the high expression of eNOS and VEGF in MM.

In order to explore the effects of Panax notoginoside (PNS) on the expression of transforming growth factor β1 (TGF-β1) and Smad-7 in renal tissues of diabetes, a rat model of diabetic nephropathy was set up by intravenous injection of streptozotocin (STZ). Wistar rats were randomly divided into normal group, diabetic control group, group treated by PNS at low-dosage (PL), group treated by PNS at high-dosage (PH) and group treated by catopril (C), respectively. Fasting blood glucose (FBG), renal index, endogenous creatinine clearance rate (C(Cr)) and urinary albumin (UAlb) in 24 h were examined after 6 weeks. Meanwhile, the expressions of TGF-β1 and Smad7 in renal tissues were immunohistochemically dectected. At the end of the sixth week, FBG, renal index, C(cr), UAlb were all elevated significantly in control group (P<0.01). The expression of TGF-β1 protein was increased while Smad7 protein decreased in renal tissue (P<0.01). However, the treatment with PNS reversed the aforementioned changes in renal tissues of diabetic rats. These results indicate that PNS possess a protective effect on the kidney of diabetic rats and it might protect kidney by inhibiting the expression of TGF-β1 protein and enhancing the expression of Smad7 protein.
