Objective To investigate the number of osteoclast (OC) precursor in the peripheral blood of patients with ankylosing spondylitis (AS) and its relationship with serum receptor activator of nuclear factor KB-ligand (RANKL) and Osteoprotegerin (OPG) concentration as well as the disease activity. Methods The peripheral blood mononuclear cells from 8 cases of AS patients and 5 healthy controls were cultured in the medium containing macrophage colony-stimulating factor (M-CSF) (25 ng/ml) and RANKL (40 ng/ml). After being cultured for 14 days, cytochemistry was applied to detect tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase (TRAP) expression and the cells with TRAP expression and ≥3 nuclei were counted and defined as OC. Bone resorption assay was used to demonstrate OC function. ELISA was used to measure serum RANKL and OPG concentration in 23 cases of AS and 17 healthy controls. The relationship was analyzed in AS patients between the number of OC precursors and serum RANKL and OPG concentration as well as the disease activity. The indicators of disease activity were Bath ankylosing spondylitis disease activity index (BASDAI), Erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) and C-reactive protein (CRP). T test, t' test and Spearman correlation were selec-ted. Results ① Significantly higher OC production was observed in the peripheral blood of AS patients than that of healthy control group. The OC number per ten fields was 10.9±3.4 and 6.2±1.3 respectively (P<0.05); ② There was significant difference between AS patients and healthy controls in serum concentration of OPG and RANKL and the ratio of RANKL/OPG. OPG was significantly higher in AS patients [(157±49) pg/ml] than in healthy controls [(105±20) pg/ml] (P<0.05). RANKL was significantly higher in AS patients [(5.4± 3.8) pg/ml] than in healthy controls [(1.6±0.8) pg/ml] (P<0.05). The ratio of RANKL/OPG was significantly higher in AS patients (0.037±0.026) than in healthy controls (0.016±0.008) (P<0.01 );③Significantly positive correlation was observed between the OC number and the serum concentration of RANKL (r=0.692, P=0.009), the ratio of RANKL/OPG (r=0.813, P=0.001);④ In AS patients, serum concentration of OPG was found to have significantly negative correlation with BASDAI (r=-0.444, P=0.044). Serum RANKL concentration was found to have significantly positive correlation with BASDAI (r=0.543, P=0.011). The ratio of RANKL/OPG was found to have significantly positive correlation with BASDAI (r=0.672, P=0.001). Conclusion ① More OC precursors exist in the peripheral blood of AS patients. These cells may differentiate into osteoclasts, which might play a role in joints destructions in AS;② The mechanism of high OC production is likely to be due to high RANKL concentration which is caused by inflammatory reaction.

Objective To investigate the possible mechanism of direct relaxant effects of propofol on tracheal smooth muscle.Methods Nine Japanese long-ear white rabbits of either sex, weighing 2-3 kg were sacrificed by air embolism. The trachea of each rabbit was removed and cut into six strips of (6-8) mm x (12-15) mm. The tracheal strips were suspended in Kreb' s solution, exposed to 95 % O2 and 5 % CO2 mixture and maintained at 37℃. One end of strip was fixed and the other was connected to a tension monitor through a tension transducer. The experiment was divided into six groups: group I propofol; group Ⅱ propofol + indothelin; group Ⅲp Ⅴ propofol + verapamil and group Ⅵ propofol + glibenclamide. In each group the tracheal strips were precontracted with acetylcholine (10-5 mol? L-1). The strips were then exposed to increasing concentrations of propofol (5 ? 10-3 , 10-2 ,2.5 ? 10-2 , 5 ? 10-2 , 10-1 mg?ml-1 ). At each concentration of propofol, the change in muscle tension was allowed to reach the steady state for 30 min. In group I no other drug was added to the Kreb' s solution besides propofol, while in group Ⅱ-Ⅵ before the effects of propofol were determined, the strips were pretreated with indothelin (10-4 mol? ml-1 ) (in group Ⅱ), L-NAME(10-4 mol?ml-1) (in group Ⅲ), methylene blue (10-5 mol?ml-1) (in group Ⅳ), verapamil (10-5 mol?ml-1) (in group Ⅴ) or glibenclamide (10-5 mol?ml-1) (in group Ⅵ). Results The three concentrations of propofol examined (2.5?10-2, 5?10-2 and 10-1 mg?ml-1) produced relaxation of isolated tracheal smooth muscle. In group Ⅱ , Ⅲ , Ⅳand Ⅴ pretreatment of tracheal strips with indothelin, L-NAME, methylene blue or verapamil did not significantly affect the relaxation of tracheal smooth muscle induced by propofol as compared with group Ⅰ. Pretreatment with glibenclamide significantly depressed the direct relaxant effect of propofol on tracheal smooth muscle ( P

Objective:To explore the role of γδ T cells in the transdifferentiation of immature dendritic cells(imDC) into osteoclasts(OC). Methods:(1) Peripheral blood mononuclear cells(PBMNC) were cultured with zoledronate(Zol) and recombinant human interleukin-2(IL-2),and PBMNC from healthy volunteers were cultured with granulocyte macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF) and recombinant human interleukin-4(IL-4) to differentiate into imDC,which were then cultured with receptor activator nuclear factor к B ligand(RANKL) and macrophage colony-stimulating factor(M-CSF) to differentiate into OC. The purity of γδ T cells,and phenotype changing of OC transdifferentiated from imDC were investigated by flow cytometry. (2) Co-culture system was es-tablished using millicell inserts.γδT cells isolated with immune magnetic bead were placed in the upper compartment and imDC in the lower compartment in the ratio of 10∶1. To explore the role of γδ T cells during differentiation of imDC into OC,tartrate resistant acid phosphatase( TRAP) staining and bone resorption observation staining were used. Tumor necrosis factor-alpha( TNF-α) of supernatant liquid from different cultures was measured using ELISA(Enzyme linked immunosorbent assay) kit. Results:(1) γδT cells can be ex-panded from PBMNC of MM patients, and the production capacity was similar to that of healthy volunteers ( 68. 87%± 20. 94% vs 69. 33%±16. 84%,P>0. 05 ) . ( 2 ) OC could be transdifferentiated from imDC when cultured with RANKL and M-CSF. ( 3 ) The number of TRAP+ multinuclear cell and the absorption area of dentine were significantly lower in the group of imDC indirectly co-cultured with γδ T cells than in the group of control imDC(5.67±0.58 vs 28.33±2.08,4.97%±4.3% vs 28.47%±12.8%, respectively). (4) Under the circumstance of γδ T cell-imDC indirect coculture,TNF-α got significantly higher. Conclusion: γδ T cells might inhibit the transdifferentiation of imDC into OC.γδ T cells-based immunotherapy is expected to be a new treatment for myeloma bone disease.
