objective To analyze the killer cell immunoglobulin-like receptors(KIR)gene polymorphism of pre-eclampsia patients and approach the correlation between KIR genes and pre-eclampsia.Methods The KIR gene polymorphisms of 71 pre-eclampsia patients and 100 healthy pregnant women were detected by PCR-SSP.The KIR2DL4 mRNA level in placentas from pre-eclampsia and gestational normal pregnancies were quantified by real time RT-PCR.Forty pre-eclampsia patients and 38 healthy pregnant women were detected for single nucleotide polymorphisms(SNP)in the gene coding and joint areas between introns and extrons by directly sequencing techniques of KIR2DL4 genomic DNA.Finally,all alleles and genotypes of KIR2DL4 gene were case-control studied.Result Distributions of some relatively activating KIR genotypes shewed a significant association with pre-eclampsia.Real-time RT-PCR showed that KIR2DL4 mRNA can be measured both in placenta of women with pre-eclampsia being of pre-eclampsia waft significantly lower than that of normal pregnancy.only as much as 0.276 times that of controls.We identified 18 polymorphisms,of which,7 were first reported.But no significant differences in genotype distributions or allele frequencies were observed in these SNPs between cases and controls.Conclusion The distributions of some relatively activating KIR genotypes showed a significant association with pre-eclampsia,which indicates that the polymorphism of KIR genes may be associated with the genetic predisposition to pre-eclampsia.And because the expression of KIR2DL4 mRNA in the placentas of cases wag significantly lower than control group,it is speculated that the decrease of KIR2DL4 expression in placenta may participate in the pathogenesis of pre-eclampsia.

Objective To investigate genes involved in the mechanisms underlying the progression of severe preeclampsia.Methods We conducted a muhiregional gene expression analysis using peripheral leucocytes from patients with preeclampsia and normal controls.Total RNA was extracted from peripheral blood of six severe preeclampsia and five normotensive pregnancies.We performed genome-wide expression profiling using Affymetrix HG_U133 plus 2.0 chips to screen out differentially expressed genes of 2 fold or more and q_value < 5.4%.Using Gene Ontology we identified the function of differentially expressed genes after cluster analysis.Results Among the 47 000 genes that were screened in the microarray,140 genes were found to be differentially expressed between normal and preeclamptic pregnancies. Eighty six up-regulated candidate genes were mainly involved in cysteine metabolism urea cycle and metabolism of amiogroups,proteasome,TGF-beta signaling pathway, and the ratio of calponin2 (CNN2), matrix metallopeptidase 8 (MMP8),V-set and immunoglobulin domain containing 4 (VSIG4),proteasome 26S subunit ATPase 5 (PSMC5) was evidently increased in preeclampsia patients.Among 54 down-regulatedcandidates,natural killer cell mediated cytotoxicity,antigen processing and presentation,metabolism of xenobiotics by cytochrome P450 were the main pathways.KIR3DL2,AKR1C3,CHURC1 and SLC25A13 were obviously decreased in preeclampsia patients. Conclusions The gene expression of peripheral leucocytes in preeclampsia patients is significantly different from that of uncomplicated pregnancies.CNN2,MMP8,VSIG4,PSMC5,KIR3DL2,AKR1C3,CHURC1 and SLC25A13 may be involved in the molecular mechanisms underlying the progression of severe preeclampsia.

AIM:To observe the effect of atorvastatin(ATV) on myocardial ischemia-reperfusion injury and the role of inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS). METHODS: The rabbits were randomly divided into control group, ATV group, ATV+S-Methylisothiourea sulfate (SMT) group, SMT group. All rabbits were subjected to 40 min ischemia and 240 min reperfusion. The hemodynamic variables, CK-MB, LDH-1 and nitric oxide synthase were detected after reperfusion. RESULTS: LVDP and +dp/dtmax decreased by 24.6% and 35.3% respectively following ischemia-reperfusion. Pre-treated by ATV (10 mg?kg-1?d-1) for three days, LVDP and +dp/dtmax decreased by 21.7% and 41.3%, CK-MB and LDH-1 by 31.4% and 19.1% and iNOS increased to 102.6%. The reduction of LVDP and +dp/dtmax, CK-MB, LDH-1 and iNOS in ATV+SMT group was no statistically significant with those in control group. CONCLUSION: ATV pretreatment protected myocardial ischemia-reperfusion injury by upregulating iNOS.

Objective To investigate the inhibitory effect of testosterone on oxidized low-density lipoproteins ( ox-LDL)-stimulated phenotypic transition and proliferation of vascular smooth muscle cells ( VSMCs) in vitro, and to explore its possible mechanisms. Methods Rat VSMCs cultured in vitro were divided into control group, ox-LDL group(50μg/mlox-LDL),fetalbovineserum(FBS)group(10% FBS),andtestosteronegroups(5×10-8 or5×10-7 mol/L testosterone plus 50μg/ml ox-LDL) . The effect of testosterone on ox-LDL-induced proliferation of VSMCs was explored by WST-1 assay. The cell cycle distribution was determined using flow cytometry. Western blotting was used todetecttheexpressionsofmitofusin2(Mfn2),phosphorylatedextracellularsignal-regulatedkinases1/2(p-ERK1/2) , proliferating cell nuclear antigen ( PCNA) ,α-smooth muscle actin (α-SMA) ,and osteopontin ( OPN) . Results Compared with control group, the proliferation of VSMCs was promoted by ox-LDL, the number of VSMCs decreased in G0/G1 phase and increased in S phase significantly, the expression levels of Mfn2 and α-SMA were significantly reduced, and the expression levels of p-ERK1/2, PCNA, and OPN were significantly raised in ox-LDL group. Compared with ox-LDL group, the proliferation of VSMCs was inhibited, the number of VSMCs increased in G0/G1 phase and decreased in S phase in two testosterone groups, along with the increased expressions of Mfn2 andα-SMA, and the descended expressions of p-ERK1/2, PCNA, and OPN. Conclusions Testosterone inhibits phenotypic transition and proliferation of VSMCs induced by ox-LDL in vitro, which may be related to the up-regulated expression of Mfn 2 and the suppression of ERK1/2 pathway.
