Journal of Shanghai Jiaotong University(Medical Science) 2017;37(6):719-725
Objective · To demonstrate the effect of TRIM59 on gliomagenesis and the molecular mechanism.Methods · TRIM59 protein expression in glioma specimens was analyzed by immunohistochemical staining,and in several glioma cell lines by Western blotting and quantative PCR.After TRIM59 was knocked down by shRNAs,cell proliferation,migration,colony formation,and orthotopic xenograft brain tumor development were detected.The signaling pathway of TRIM59 in gliomas was also explored by RNA-Seq and KEGG PATHWAY analyses.Results· The levels of TRIM59 protein expression in clinical glioma specimens were positively correlated with glioma malignancy.TRIM59 was highly expressed in LN229 and U87 glioma cells compared with normal human astrocytes.Knockdown of TRIM59 in these two cell lines with lentivirus-mediated shRNAs inhibited their proliferation,migration,and colony formation.Compared with the control xenograft models,knockdown of TRIM59 significantly inhibited glioma tumor growth.RNASeq and KEGG PATHWAY analyses identified that TRIM59 knockdown down-regulated 306 genes,among which PI3K/AKT signal pathway-related genes were the most.Moreover,TRIM59 knockdown suppressed AKT phosphorylation,whereas overexpression of a constitutively actived AKT (Myr-AKT)rescued TRIM59 knockdown-inhibited cell proliferation.Conclusion· TRIM59 is a new glioma oncogene,which may take effect through activating PI3K/AKT signaling pathway.

Objective:To investigate the status of glucolipid metabolism and insulin resistance in patients with first-episode non-medicated schizophrenia, and to explore their relationship with psychiatric symptoms and cognitive function.Methods:One hundred and seventeen patients with first-episode non-medicated schizophrenia admitted to Wenzhou Seventh People′s Hospital from January 2018 to August 2020 were included in case group, and 61 healthy subjects with physical examination during the same period were used as control group. The glucose metabolism, including serum fasting blood glucose (FBG), 2 h postprandial blood glucose (2 h PBG), fasting insulin (FINS), fasting C peptide; lipid metabolism, including triglyceride (TG), total cholesterol (TC), high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C), low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C); apolipoprotein A1 (Apo-A1) and homeostatic model assessment insulin resistance index (HOMA-IR) level were compared between 2 groups. The abnormal glucolipid metabolism and incidence rate of insulin resistance were counted in the two groups. According to the condition of abnormal glucolipid metabolism or insulin resistance in case group, the patients were divided into abnormal glucolipid metabolism group and non-abnormal group, and insulin resistance group and non-insulin resistance group. The psychiatric symptoms (positive and negative symptom scale, PANSS) and cognitive function (MATRICS consensus cognitive battery, MCCB) were compared between 2 groups. Pearson correlation analysis was used to explore the correlation between glucolipid metabolism and insulin resistance and psychiatric symptoms and cognitive function in case group.Results:The levels of glucolipid metabolism indexes of 2 h PBG, FINS, fasting C peptide, TG and HOMA-IR in case group were significantly higher than those in control group: (7.06 ± 1.88) mmol/L vs. (6.19 ± 1.53) mmol/L, (8.61 ± 2.46) mU/L vs. (6.25 ± 1.71) mU/L, (0.49 ± 0.16) nmol/L vs. (0.32 ± 0.09) nmol/L, (1.33 ± 0.47) mmol/L vs. (1.02 ± 0.24) mmol/L, 2.01 ± 0.71 vs. 1.51 ± 0.45 ( P<0.05); while the levels of HDL-C and Apo-A1 were significantly lower than those in control group: (1.19 ± 0.38) mmol/L vs. (1.57 ± 0.32) mmol/L, (1.21 ± 0.25) g/L vs. (1.43 ± 0.17) g/L ( P<0.05). The total incidence rate of abnormal glucolipid metabolism or insulin resistance in case group was significantly higher than that in control group: 62.39%(73/117) vs. 13.11%(8/61) ( P<0.05). The scores of dimensions of positive symptoms, negative symptoms and general psychopathology and total score of PANSS in combined group were significantly higher than those in non-abnormal group: (25.14 ± 5.09) scores vs. (22.95 ± 4.72) scores, (24.68 ± 5.25) scores vs. (22.05 ± 4.59) scores, (41.52 ± 5.85) scores vs. (38.12 ± 4.18) scores, (94.68 ± 11.64) scores vs. (85.43 ± 8.51) scores ( P<0.05). The above scores points in insulin resistance group were higher than points in non-insulin resistance group: (26.62 ± 4.18) scores vs. (23.62 ± 4.98) scores, (25.92 ± 5.07) scores vs. (23.02 ± 4.96) scores, (42.94 ± 5.26) scores vs. (39.43 ± 4.47) scores, (97.35 ± 10.07) scores vs. (89.37 ± 10.25) scores ( P<0.05). The scores of continuous performance test-identical pairs (CPT-IP), working memory (WM), brief visuospatial memory test-revised (BVMT-R) and Mayer-Salovey-Caruso emotional intelligence test (MSCEIT) of MCCB scale in abnormal glucolipid metabolism group were significantly lower than those in non-abnormal group: (23.82 ± 5.21) scores vs. (27.15 ± 4.69) scores, (21.72 ± 5.95) scores vs. (25.35 ± 5.14) scores, (19.56 ± 5.28) scores vs. (22.34 ± 5.43) scores, (22.62 ± 5.13) scores vs. (26.47 ± 4.96) scores ( P<0.05), and the scores in insulin resistance group were significantly lower: (22.26 ± 4.84) scores vs. (25.42 ± 5.12) scores, (20.35 ± 4.87) scores vs. (23.46 ± 5.08) scores, (18.05 ± 4.27) scores vs. (20.98 ± 5.71) scores, (21.15 ± 4.67) scores vs. (24.48 ± 5.02) scores ( P<0.05). Pearson correlation analysis showed that 2 h PBG in case group was positively correlated with PANSS positive symptoms ( P<0.05), and was negatively correlated with CPT-IP and MSCEIT in MCCB scale ( P<0.05). FINS and HOMA-IR were positively correlated with positive symptoms, negative symptoms and PANSS total score ( P<0.05), and were negatively correlated with CPT-IP, WM, BVMT-R and MSCEIT ( P<0.05).

BACKGROUND: Cytokine is a poly-functional and effective regulator factor to regulate growth of multiple cells. Researches suggest that, as an inflammatory medium, cytokines play a key role in inflammatory reaction of eye; however, there are rare studies on dynamic changes after traumatic cataract.OBJECTIVE: To investigate the relationship among inflammatory reaction and dynamic changes of interleukin 1 (IL-1),IL-6 and tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-α) in aqueous humor of rabbits after extracapsular cataract extraction.DESIGN: Randomized controlled animal study.SETTING: Shenzhen Municipal Ophthalmology Hospital, Shenzhen Municipal Ophthalmology Center Affiliated to Medical College of Jinan University.MATERIALS: The experiment was carried out in Institute of Shenzhen Municipal Ophthalmology Center Affiliated to Medical College of Jinan University from March 2004 to March 2006. Fifteen healthy adult New Zealand rabbits of 30 eyes,general grade, weighting 2.5-3.0 kg, of either gender, were provided by Animal Center of the Second Clinical Medical College of Jinan University [certification: SYXK (yue) 2005-006]. Eyes of rabbits were normal before experiment. All rabbits were randomly divided into normal control group, traumatic control group and operative group with 5 in each group and in total of 10 eyes in each group. IL-1, IL-6 and TNF-α kits were provided by Shenzhen Yawei Biotechnology Company Limited.METHODS: Rabbits in traumatic control group and operative group were totally anesthetized with intravenous injection of 10% 1 mi/kg urethan, and then, 5# needle was punctured from corneal limbus to anterior chamber to scarify anterior membrane of lens about 5 mm to establish animal models of traumatic cataract of oculus uterque. Rabbits in normal control group were fed normally. After successful modeling, common antibiotic eyedrops was used to clean conjunctival sac of rabbits in traumatic control group and operative group 3 times a day. On the 3rd day of successful modeling, rabbits in operative group were totally anesthetized with intravenous injection of 10% 1 mL/kg urethan, and then, they undertook extracapsular cataract extraction of oculus uterque: horizontally intercepting bladder or waterly separating with breakage of anterior bladder membrane, expulsing nucleus of lens, washing lens cortex and suturing incisions. On the operative day and on the 1st, 3rd, 7th and 14th days after operation, inflammatory reaction of anterior chamber in traumatic control group and operative group was measured and 0.2 mL aqueous humor was extracted from rabbits in three groups to count and classify cells; meanwhile, expressed level and dynamic changes of IL-1, IL-6 and TNF-α in cytokines of aqueous humor were measured with double-antibodies ELASA technique.MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Total numbors of leucocytes and contents of IL-1, IL-6 and TNF-α in aqueous humor of rabbits in three groups after operation.RESULTS: ① On the 1st, 3rd, 7th and 14th days after operation, numbers of leucocytes were (2.4±0.7)×106/L, (2,2±0.5)×106/L, (2.8±0.8)×106/L and (2.0±0.5)×106/L in aqueous humor; (19.7±7.3)×106/L, (28.1±9.6)×106/L, (14.2±5.6)×106/L and(8.4±3.8)×106/L in traumatic control group; (65.3±14.5)×106/L, (79.8±12.7)×106/L, (21.7±8.2)×106/L and (12.4±4.1)×106/L in operative group. In addition, numbers of leucocytes were more in traumatic control group and operative group than those in normal control group (F =22.5, 27.9, 11.6, 8.4;P<0.05). ② Within 1-14 days after operation, contents of IL-1, IL-6and TNF-α in aqueous humo were higher in traumatic control group and operative group than those in normal control group (P<0.05), and there was a significant difference between traumatic control group and operative group (P<0.05);however, there was no significant difference among three groups on the operative day (P>0.05). ③ Contents of cytokines reached peak on the 7th day after operation, decreased gradually, and reached the lowest value on the 14th day.Contents in traumatic control group and operative group were higher than those in normal control group (P<0.05).CONCLUSION: The intraocular inflammation after lens extraction is closely related to the dynamic changes of IL-1, IL-6and TNF-α levels in aqueous humor. Cytokine may be one of crucially inflammatory agents in the eyes after traumatic cataract.

Objective To explore the methods of labeling exogenous microglia with superparamagnetie iron oxide(SPIO)particles,and to monitor the labeled cells after transplantation into the normal rat and Alzheimer's disease(AD)model rat with MR scanning.Methods Microglia was labeled with SPIO particles by using transfection agent,hemagglutinating virus of Japan envelope(HVJ-E).Then the microglias which were labeled with SPIO were injected into the internal carotid artery of normal rat (n=5)and AD model rat(n=5).Three days after transplantation,follow-up serial T2*-weighted gradient-echo MR imaging was performed at 7.0T MRI system.MR images were correlated with histological findings.Results In the brain of normal rat,the labeled microglias were demonstrated as several dotty signalintensity decrease on T2*-weighted MR images.The dotty spots were sporadic around the brain.Histological analysis showed that most prussian blue staining-positive cells were well correlated with the area where a signal intensity decrease was observed in MRI.MR could detect the signal intensity change caused by a few labeled cells.In the brain of AD model rat,MR scan showed a well-defined hypointensity area in the region of Aβ42 iniection.Signal intensity decrease was not obvious in the region of saline injection.The number of iron-positive cells(454±47)/mm2 at sites of Aβ42 injection was much higher than that(83±13)/mm2 of saline injection(P<0.05). Conclusion MR can be used as a non-invasive means of detecting transplanted labeled microglia in vivo,with the potential for future clinical application in cell therapy of AD.
