Background The retinal degeneration 11 (rd11) mouse is a newly discovered naturally occurring recessive animal model with lysophosphatidylcholine acyltransferase 1 (Lpcatl) mutation.Previous studies showed that the photoreceptor cells are characterized by typical rod-cone degeneration pattern in rd1 1 mice,while cone degeneration pattern in rd11 mice is unclcar.Objective Using immunofluorescence staining techniques with retinal wholemount,we aim to clarify the degeneration patterns of cone-function related M-opsin or S-opsin in different ages of rd1 1 mice.Methods A total of thirty rd1 1 and C57BL/6J mice at postnatal (P) day 14,28,42 (five in each age group) were sacrificed and retinal wholemounts were prepared.Immunohistochemistry was performed to identify the expression of M-opsin or S-opsin in retinal wholemounts,which were photographed with a fluorescent microscope.Cone opsins were compared between rd1 1 retinas and age-matched normal C57BL/6J retinas by manually counting the opsin positive cone cells in different quadrants of the retinas.Results The number of M-opsin or S-opsin positive fluorescent dots in each quadrant was similar at all ages of normal C57BL/6J retina.M-opsin positive fluorescent dots in dorsal/temporal,ventral/temporal,dorsal/nasal and ventral/nasal quadrants of rdl 1 retina at P28 were (414±32),(300± 8),(324 ± 22) and (250± 20)/0.037 mm2,which were lower than the age-matched normal C57BL/6J mice (t =4.114,15.225,7.505,17.990,all at P＜0.05).At the same time the S-opsin positive fluorescent dots in P28 rd11 were (8 ±4),(175 ± 16),(74 ± 13) and (315 ±20)/0.037 mm2,with significant decrease in comparison with those in the age-matched normal C57BL/6J mice (t =8.555,17.076,21.637,13.498,all at P＜0.05).With the development of retinal degeneration in rd11 mice,the M-opsin degeneration spread from central to ventral,nasal and then to temporal and dorsal peripheral retina;and the S-opsin loss started from dorsal/temporal to ventral/nasal retina.Conclusions Most of the M-opsin and S-opsins,especially the S-opsins in rd11 mice,degenerate in 6 weeks.Retinal wholemount and cone opsin immunofluorescent staining provide a useful tool to show the cone degeneration pattern and to evaluate the therapeutic efficiency in ongoing gene therapy study.

The effects of fucoidan on the lipidomics profiling of juvenile yellow catfish (pelteobagrus fulvidraco) during different feeding time (week 1, week 2, week 3 and week 8) were investigated by ultra-performance liquid chromatography-quadrupole-time-of-flight-mass spectrometry (UPLC-Q-TOF-MS) combined with multivariate data analysis, e.g.principal component analysis (PCA) and partial least squares-discriminate analysis (PLS-DA).Based on VIP and p values, 11 lipid biomarkers were screened including lysophosphatidylcholine (Lyso-PC) 16∶0, phosphatidylcholine (PC) 22∶6/16∶0, phosphatidylethanolamine (PE) 22∶6/16∶0, phosphatidylinositol (PI) 18∶0/22∶6, diacylglycerol (DAG) 16∶0/16∶0,DAG 16∶0/18∶1, DAG 18∶1/18∶1, triglycerides (TAG) 20∶5/16∶0/18∶3, TAG 20∶4/16∶1/18∶2, TAG 16∶0/18∶2/20∶5 and TAG 18∶2/14∶0/18∶1.It was found that Lyso-PC, PC, PE and PI had the largest levels at the eighth week;the levels of DAG were decreased at the second and fourth weeks, and increased at the eighth week.While TAG was different: the content of TAG 18∶2/14∶0/18∶1, TAG 20∶5/16∶0/18∶3 and TAG 20∶4/16∶1/18∶2 increased in response to fucoidan, but TAG 16∶0/18∶2/20∶5 decreased little.Therefore, for juvenile yellow catfish, fucoidan can affect its lipid metabolism, which provides a theoretical basis for investigation of the influence of fucoidan on the response mechanism of lipid metabolism of juvenile yellow catfish.

Objective To study the effect of zoledronate (ZOL) on Ca2+/calmodulin-dependent kinase Ⅱ δ (CaMK Ⅱ δ) and down-stream gene expressions during osteoclast differentiation.Methods Mouse osteoclast precursors RAW264.7 cells were divided into the control group and ZOL group.The cells in both groups were induced with 50μg/L receptor activator of nuclear factor kappa B ligand (RANKL) and were harvested on 5 d,while the cells in ZOL group were also simultaneously treated with 1 × 10-6 mol/L ZOL for 2 d.Five days later,the cells were harvested and examined osteoclastogenesis,as well as gene expressions of CaMK Ⅱ δ,nuclear factor of activated T-cells cytoplasmic 1 (NFATc1),tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase (TRAP) and cell-sarcoma receptor coactivator (c-Src).Results The number of TRAP positive multinuclear osteoclasts,number and size of dentin absorption lacunae and area in the ZOL group were (20.0±3.2),(18.0±4.2) and (6 335.3± 1 043.2)μm2 respectively,which were significantly lower than (36.0 ± 8.4),(37.2 ± 5.0) and (11 636.2 ± 3 661.1) μm2 in the control group and decreased by 44.4 ％,51.6 ％ and 45.6 ％ respectively (P＜0.01).ZOL also significantly inhibited the gene expressions of CaMK Ⅱ δ,NFATc1,TRAP and c-Src,and the mRNA levels of these genes were decreased by 44.1％,49.0％,53.8％ and 49.6％ respectively,the protein level were decreased by 43.5 ％,32.2 ％,45.5 ％ and 48.0 ％ respectively.The immunofluorescent cytochemistry detection results showed the fluorescence intensity of CaMK Ⅱ δ,NFATc1,TRAP and c-Srcin in the ZOL group was significantly weakened when compared with the control group.Conclusion ZOL could significantly inhibit the osteoclast formation and bone absorption function,and down-regulates gene expressions of CaMK Ⅱ δ,NFATc1,TRAP and c-Src in osteoclast differentiation.

Objective To investigate the effect of two different odontoblast inducer on the proliferation and apoptosis of rat adiposed-derived stem cells.Methods Adiposed-derived stem cells were collected by enzyme digestion from inguinal fat pads of 4 days post natal mice.Immunocytochemistry was performed to identify the cells.MTT and flow cytometry were tested the prolifera-tion and apotosis of adiposed-derived stem cells by co-cultured with tooth germ cell conditioned medium(TGC-CM)or dentin non-collagenous protein medium (DNCPM).Results Cells displayed a fibroblast-like appearance and positively expressed CD44 and CD105 when cufured to the secend yeneration.After 3 day the cells polarity changed by co-cultured.Count of cells were no obvious change by TGC-CM co-cultured,while that ruduced significantly by DNCPM co-cultured.It confirmed that the proliferation rate of ADSCs in TGC-CM group and control group is higher than DNCPM group(P <0.05),while the apotosis of that in DNCPM group is higher TGC-CM group(P <0.05).Compared with control group,the results had no significant difference(P >0.05).Conclusion TGC-CM may have more advantage as inducer in rat adiposed-derived stem cells differentiate into dentin like cells than DNCPM.

Background and purpose: Researches demonstrated that the butyric acid sodium salt (sodium butyrate, NaB) has effect on the inhibition of tumor cell proliferation, differentiation and apoptosis-promoting, while the mechanism on salivary adenoid cystic carcinoma(SACC) is still uncertain. This study mainly probed into the impact of different concentration of sodium butyrate on the migration and invasion of SACC cell line ACC-M, and its mechanism of action. Methods:MTT assay explored the optimal concentration of sodium butyrate on the cell ACC-M and the observation of cell growth. Transwell assay was used to detect the effects of sodium butyrate on the ACC-M cells on the aspact of invasion and migration ability. Fluorescence real-time quantitative PCR (RT-PCR) and Western blot were used to test respectively the expression of HMGB1, TLR4 mRNA and protein in ACC-M after functioned by 5 group drugs with different concentrations. Results:Compared with the control group, on the one hand, the concentration 0.625, 1.25, 2.5, 5 and 10 mmol/L of sodium butyrate could effectively inhibit cell proliferation and apparently showing concentra-tion-dependence (P<0.05);On the other hand, 5 sets concentration of sodium butyrate could also effectively inhibit invasion and migration ability of ACC-M cells in vitro (P<0.05), as well as reducing the expression of HMGB1, TLR4 mRNA and protein in ACC-M cells (P<0.05). Furthermore related analysis showed that the decline of TLR4 protein expression was positively correlated with inhibition of HMGB1 (r=0.810, P<0.05). Conclusion:Sodium butyrate has an effect on inhibiting ACC-M cell proliferation, signiifcantly reducing ACC-M cell invasion and migration capabilities, and reducing expression of HMGB1, TLR4 mRNA and protein, and both expression amount are positively correlated, Meanwhile the positively correlation suggests that sodium butyrate probably achieve the inhibition ability by lowering the expression of HMGB1, TLR4 mRNA and protein in ACC-M cell.
