AIM: To investigate the effect of paclitaxel on the quantitative growth of rabbit's vascular smooth muscle cells (SMCs) and endothelial cells (ECs) and their relationship in vitro. METHODS: An ex vivo model of endothelium repair was developed in which rabbit's SMCs were inoculated in the upper chamber and rabbit's ECs in the lower chamber of a co-culture system. 3 H-TdR incorporation and cell counting were used to determine the effect of paclitaxel on the quantitative proliferation of rabbit's vascular ECs and SMCs. The migration rate was analyzed to determine the effect of paclitaxel on the migration of rabbit's vascular ECs and SMCs. The IC50 of paclitaxel on ECs and SMCs was calculated. RESULTS: The 3 H-TdR incorporation, cell counting and migration of rabbit's vascular SMCs were inhibited by paclitaxel of 1 nmol·L-1-1 μmol·L-1 in a concentration-dependent manner (n=6, P<0.01). The 3 H-TdR incorporation and cell counting of rabbit's vascular ECs were inhibited by paclitaxel of 10 nmol·L-1-1 μmol·L-1 and migration by paclitaxel of 1 nmol·L-1-1 μmol·L-1 in a concentration-dependent manner (n=6, P<0.01). The 3 H-TdR incorporation assay resulted in the IC50 of 10.09±0.47 nmol·L-1 on SMCs and 19.06±0.35 nmol·L-1 on ECs proliferation. The migration assay resulted in the IC50 of 9.16±0.54 nmol·L-1 on SMCs and 5.37±0.51 nmol·L-1 on ECs migration. Paclitaxel (10 nmol·L-1, 20 min) inhibited SMCs growth of the confluent ECs group during the observed period. However, increased SMCs growth was observed in the proliferative ECs group 10 days after paclitaxel intervention. CONCLUSION: Paclitaxel inhibits not only SMCs but also ECs growth in rabbit's vascular. The delayed SMCs proliferation is closely related with the delayed ECs regeneration induced by paclitaxel.

Objective: To observe the changes of circulating fractalkine and its receptor CX3CR1 level in patients with chronic congestive heart failure (CHF).
Methods: Our work included 2 group, CHF group, n=55 patients and Control group, n=25 healthy subjects. Plasma level of soluble fractalkine (sFKN) was measured by ELISA, CX3CR1 in peripheral blood mononuclear cell was examined by lfow cytometry method. The relationship between sFKN and NT-proBNP was studied.
Results: Compared with Control group, CHF group had increased sFKN level, P=0.004, and the patients with NYHY III, IV were more than NYHY II, and CHF group also had the higher CX3CR1 expression (14.7 ± 8.1), P<0.05. The CX3CR1 level increased accordingly with NYHY classiifcation, as the patients with NYHY II, CX3CR1 was at (25.1 ± 12.4), P=0.03 compare with Control group;with NYHY III, CX3CR1 was at (37.3 ± 11.0) , P=0.04 compared with NYHY II;with NYHY IV, CX3CR1 was at (41.7 ± 11.1), P=0.009 compared with NYHY II. The circulating sFKN level was positively related to pro-BNP level (r=0.364, P<0.01).
Conclusion: The circulating FKN l and its receptor CX3CR1 might be involved in pathogenesis of immune-inlfammatory pathogenesis in CHF patients.

Objective To establish a stable and real-time monitorable nude mouse model of orthotopic glioma xenograft.Methods U251 glioma cell line was infected by a lentiviral vector containing green fluorescent protein (GFP) and luciferase (Luc) gene.Cells stably expressing fluorescence of GFP and Luc were sorted by flow cytometry.CCK-8 test and Transwell tumor invasion and migration assay were used to compare the biological features between the cells stably expressing GFP-Luc fluorescence and cells without fluorescence.Then the cells were implanted intracranially in the right caudate nucleus of athymic Balb/c nude mice to establish the tumor model.The growth of intracerebral tumor was monitored over time by a bioluminescence imaging (BLI) system.Hematoxylin-eosin (HE) staining was used to evaluate the histopathological features and tumorigenicity of the transplanted glioma cells in the brain of nude mice.Results U251 glioma cell line with stably expressing GFP-Luc fluorescence and the corresponding orthotopic xenograft model were successfully established.There was no statistically significant difference in the proliferation,invasion and migration abilities between the cells with stably expressing GFP-Luc fluorescence and the control cells.This model showed a high tumor formation rate and stable tumor growth,and takes a moderate time to establish this model.Conclusions Compared with the traditional glioma cells,GFP-Luc-transfected human glioma cells are more feasible for the studies of glioma in vivo.The tumor growth and pathological characteristics in this U251-GFP-Luc glioma model are similar to human glioma,and the growth of this tumor can be real-time monitored.It can be used as an ideal animal model for experimental studies of glioma.

AIM: To investigate the effect of advanced glycosylation end products on the expression of receptor for advanced glycosylation end products in human monocyte-derived dendritic cells. METHODS: Monocytes were purified (over 98%) using anti-CD14+ microbeads. After 8 d culture in RPMI-1640 medium containing rhGM-CSF (100 ?g/L) and rhIL-4 (50 ?g/L), immature MDCs were derived, then exposed to AGE-BSA (0 or 200 mg/L) for 24 h. Expression of RAGE was semi-quantified by RT-PCR and Western blotting. At the same time, supernatants were collected. IFN-? and IL-12 were analyzed by ELISA. RESULTS: mRNA and protein of RAGE incubated by 200 mg/L AGE-BSA was higher than that in control at 24 h. Treatment of DCs with AGE-BSA resulted in about two-fold increase in the expression of RAGE (P
