To identify acute renal allograft rejection biomarkers in human serum, two-dimensional differential in-gel electrophoresis (2-D DIGE) and reversed phase high-performance liquid chromatography (RP-HPLC) followed by electrospray ionization mass spectrometry (ESI-MS) were used. Serum samples from renal allograft patients and normal volunteers were divided into three groups: acute rejection (AR), stable renal function (SRF) and normal volunteer (N). Serum samples were firstly processed using Multiple Affinity Removal Column to selectively remove the highest abundance proteins. Differentially expressed proteins were analyzed using 2-D DIGE. These differential protein spots were excised, digested by trypsin, and identified by RP-HPLC-ESI/MS. Twenty-two differentially expressed proteins were identified in serum from AR group. These proteins included complement C9 precursor, apolipoprotein A-IV precursor, vitamin D-binding protein precursor, beta-2-glycoprotein 1 precursor, etc. Vitamin D-binding protein, one of these proteins, was confirmed by ELISA in the independent set of serum samples. In conclusion, the differentially expressed proteins as serum biomarker candidates may provide the basis of acute rejection noninvasive diagnosis. Confirmed vitamin D-binding protein may be one of serum biomarkers of acute rejection. Furthermore, it may provide great insights into understanding the mechanisms and potential treatment strategy of acute rejection.

Objective To observe the effect and molecular mechanism of lipopolysaccharide (LPS) on activation and differentiation of microglia (MG) cells. Methods Routinely in vitro cultured BV2 microglia cells were divided into control group and LPS group: BV2 microglia cells in the LPS group were treated with 200 ng/mL LPS; cells in the control group were added the same amount of medium. Six h after treatment, real-time quantitative (qRT)-PCR and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) were used to detect the inflammatory factors, interleukin (IL)-1β and tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α mRNA and protein expressions in supernatant of cell culture medium. The iNOS, CD32, Arg1 and CD206 mRNA and protein expressions were detected by qRT-PCR and immunofluorescence, respectively. The mRNA and protein expressions of Notch1, Hes1 and Hes5 were detected by qRT-PCR and Western blotting. Results After LPS stimulation, BV2 microglia cells were activated and the morphological changes were observed. The IL-1β and TNF-α protein and mRNA expressions in the LPS group were significantly increased as compared with those in the control group (P<0.05). The iNOS and CD32 protein and mRNA expressions in the LPS group were significantly increased as compared with those in the control group (P<0.05). The Arg1 and CD206 mRNA and protein expressions showed no significant differences between the two groups (P>0.05). The Notch1 and Hes1 mRNA and protein expressions in the LPS group were significantly increased as compared with those in the control group (P<0.05), while no significant differences on Hes5 mRNA and protein expressions were noted between the two groups (P>0.05). Conclusion LPS activates MG cells, which may regulate the differentiation of MG cells into M1 through Notch signaling pathway and promote inflammatory response; therefore, Notch signaling pathway may be a target for regulating MG cells differentiation and reducing inflammatory damage.

OBJECTIVETo investigate the efficacy and side effects of the consecutive chemotherapeutic protocol, Tongji-96, for adult patients with Philadelphia chromosome negative acute lymphoblastic leukemia (Ph-aALL).
METHODSA retrospective analysis was conducted on 95 cases of Ph-aALL patients treated between January 2004 and December 2012 with Tongji-96 regimen in Tongji hospital, Shanghai.
RESULTSAmong these 95 patients, the overall complete remission (CR) rate was 92.6%, 7-year overall survival (OS) and event-free survival (EFS) rates were (39.3±5.9)% and (31.5±5.3)%, respectively, with the median survival of 28 months. Based on multivariable COX proportional hazards regression model analysis, patients with the poor karyotype and failed to achieve CR after first course induction therapy had a higher risk of mortality compared to those who had good or normal cytogenetics and achieved CR after 1 course of induction treatment [the risk ratios (RR) were 3.380 (95% CI 1.530-7.463, P=0.003) and 3.005 (95% CI 1.522-5.933, P=0.002),respectively]. By means of Kaplan-Meier analysis and Log-rank test,patients aged less than 60 years and successively achieved CR after first induction therapy had more favorable 7-year OS and EFS rates. Patients with normal karyotype and hyperdiploidy had significantly higher 2-year OS and EFS rates compared with those with complex karyotype, t(4;11) translocation and other karyotypes.
CONCLUSIONAge (60 years as the cut-off),treatment courses for achieving CR and cytogenetics were predictive factors for the prognosis of Ph-aALL from this retrospective study. As a comprehensive and sequential therapy protocol, Tongji-96 regimen was proved to obtain long-term survival, reduce risks for relapse and improve outcomes for part Ph-aALL patients.
