Objective To investigate the effects of angiotensin Ⅱ (Ang Ⅱ) or high glucose on the toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4) expression,inflammatory cytokines and fibrotic factors in human tubular epithelial cells (HK-2),revealing the innate immune-related pathogenesis of diabetic nephropathy (DN) which may have clinical implications.Methods Three TLR4 siRNA sequences were designed and synthetized.After transfection,the most effective siRNA was selected to use for further expriments.The experiment consisted of 2 parts.Part 1:Cells were divided into three groups:normal-glucose group (NG,5.5mmol/L glucose),mannose group (M,5.5 mmol/L glucose + 19.5 mmol/L mannose),High-glucose group (HG,25 mmol/L glucose),preliminary validated the effects of high glucose and high osmotic pressure.Part 2:Cells were divided into seven groups:NG group,HG group,Ang Ⅱ group,Ang Ⅱ + negative group,HG+ negative group,Ang Ⅱ + siRNA group and HG+ siRNA group.Real time PCR was used to analyze the mRNA expression of TLR4,myeloid differentiation factor 88 (MyD88),heat shock protein 47 (HSP47).Western blotting was used to observe the protein expression of TLR4,MyD88,HSP47,NF-κB,type Ⅳ collagen (ColⅣ).ELISA was used to detect the expression of monocyte chemotactic protein-1 (MCP-1) and interleukin-6 (IL-6).Results Compared with NG group,TLR4,MyD88,HSP47 mRNA and TLR4,MyD88,NF-κB,ColⅣ,HSP47 protein were highly expressed under high glucose or Ang Ⅱconditions (P ＜ 0.01),and the expression levels of MCP-1 and IL-6 also increased significantly (P ＜ 0.01).Compared with HG or Ang Ⅱ group,the above indicators were obviously inhibited in the TLR4 siRNA groups (P＜0.01).Comparison between blank vector transfected groups and HG group as well as Ang Ⅱ group indicated no statistic significance (P ＞ 0.05).Conclusions Both Ang Ⅱ and high glucose stimulate TLR4 expression,which result in the up-regulation of inflammatory and fibrotic factors in HK-2.Specific target of TLR4 gene silencing can block the TLR4 pathway that is activated by high glucose and Ang Ⅱ,and thus reduce the inflammatory and fibtogenic factors' release.TLR4 signal is the common innate immune response pathway which induces the release of inflammatory and fibrotic factors in HK-2 under high glucose or high angiotension conditions.

Objective To investigate the effect of glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor agonist liraglutide on hypoxia/reoxygenation (H/R)-induced cardiomyocytes death under high glucose condition and the potential mechanisms.Methods H9C2 cardiomyocytes were divided into 4 groups:normal glucose (N,5 mmol/L),high glucose (G,20 mmol/L),high glucose in combination with liraglutide (L,100 nmol/L),high glucose in combination with liraglutide and wortmannin (W,25 nmol/L).The apoptosis of H9C2 was detected by TUNEL assay.Nitric oxide synthetase(eNOS),nitric oxide (NO) and reactive oxygen(ROS) in supernatants were measured by enzymatic analysis,p-PI3K,PI3K,p-Akt,Akt,Bcl-2,caspase-3 were examined by western blotting.Results Compared with cells in N group,the apoptosis of H9C2 cells induced by H/R was markedly increased [(15.79 ± 3.92) ％ vs (9.74 ± 1.14) ％,P =0.028] in G group.The same was true for ROS [(489.63 ±21.01) U/ml vs (338.50 ±43.60) U/ml,P ＜0.001] and caspase-3 levels (1.87 ±0.03 vs 1.15 ±0.04,P ＜0.001),but not for Bcl-2 protein expression (1.79 ± 0.06 vs 1.89 ±0.03,P =0.047).Pretreatment of cells with liraglutide (100 nmol/L) prevented the cell death induced by high glucose and H/R together with decrease of ROS and caspase-3 levels and increase of Bcl-1 expression.Moreover,treatment of cells with liraglutide also significantly increased phosphorylation of PI3K and Akt (p-PI3K/PI3K:0.87 ± 0.07 vs 0.59 ± 0.09,P =0.002;p-Akt/Akt:0.34 ± 0.01 vs 0.08 ± 0.01,P＜0.001),eNOS[(41.29 ±0.56) μmpl/L vs (37.20 ±0.52)μxmpl/L,P ＜0.001]and NO [(31.24 ±0.40) μmpl/L vs (26.66 ±0.53) μmpl/L,P ＜0.001] levels.Furthermore,addition of PI3K/Akt inhibitor wortmanin markedly inhibited the expression of p-PI3K/PI3K,p-Akt/Akt,reversed the changes of eNOS,NO,caspase-3 and Bcl-2 by liraglutide,and abolished the protective effect of liraglutide on cell apoptosis.Conclusions GLP-1 receptor agonist liraglutide treatment could alleviate cardiomyoeytes apoptosis induced by high glucose and H/R through the activation of PI3K-Akt-eNOS-NO signaling pathway and inhibition of oxidative stress.

Objective To investigate the mechanisms of tigecycline nonsusceptibility in carbapen-ems-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii ( CRAB) strains in order to provide a theoretical basis for a reasonable use of antibiotics and the control of nosocomial infection .Methods Susceptibility testing of 120 non-dupli-cate CRAB strains to tigecycline was performed by using the broth microdilution method .Minimal inhibitory concentrations ( MIC) of tigecycline against the A.baumannii strains were determined by using the broth mi-crodilution method before and after exposing the strains to Carbonylcyanide-m-chlorophenylhydrazone (CCCP), which was the efflux pump inhibitor .Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) was used to amply the ef-flux pumps genes including adeB, adeJ, adeG, abeM, adeE, adeRS, tetX and tetX1.The real-time PCR was performed to measure the expression of efflux pumps genes including adeB, adeJ, adeG, abeM and adeE.Results A total of 120 CRAB strains were collected including 13 (10.8%) tigecycline non-suscep-tible A.baumannii (TNAB) strains and 107 (89.2%) tigecycline susceptible A.baumannii (TSAB) strains.The MIC values of tigecline to the 120 CRAB strains were in a range of 0.25 μg/ml to 8 μg/ml. The adeR and adeJ genes were detected in 90.0%and 92.5%of the 120 CRAB strains, respectively.The positive rates of adeB, adeS, adeG and abeM genes among the 120 CRAB strains were all 94.2%.None of the three genes including adeE, tetX and tetX1 were detected .The mean expression levels of adeB and adeJ in TNAB strains were respectively increased by 18.69 folds and 5.46 folds as compared with those in sensi-tive strains.No significant increase in the expression of adeG and abeM genes was observed in TNAB strains . A 4-fold decrease in the MIC was observed in 8 out of 13 TNAB isolates treated with 10 μg/ml of CCCP .The CCCP could partially reverse the resistance pattern of tigecycline .Conclusion The efflux pump sys-tems of adeABC and adeIJK rather than the abeFGH and abeM systems might play an important role in reduc-ing the tigecycline susceptibility in carbapenems-resistant A.baumannii strains.

Objective:To evaluate the changes in the blood-cerebrospinal fluid barrier in postoperative delirium rats.Methods:One hundred and forty-seven healthy female Sprague-Dawley rats, aged 3 months, weighing 240-300 g, were divided into 3 groups ( n=49 each) using a random number table method: control group (group C), anesthesia group (group A) and postoperative delirium group (group P). Group C received no treatment.Group A received 2-h anesthesia with 1.4% isoflurane.Group S underwent an exploratory laparotomy under 1.4% isoflurane anesthesia.The behaviors of rats in each group were tested at 24 h before surgery and 6, 9 and 24 h after surgery using buried food test, open field test and Y maze test.Sodium fluorescence was injected through the tail vein at 6, 9 and 24 h after surgery.Then the rats were sacrificed, the choroid plexus (CP) was obtained, and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) of bilateral cerebral ventricles was collected, and the expression of ZO-1, occludin, claudin1, E-cadherin and VE-cadherin in CP was detected using Western blot.FITC-dextran 10, 40 and 70 kDa was injected through the tail vein at 6 h after surgery, and then CSF was collected for determination of the concentrations of NaFI, 10, 40 and 70 kDa fluorescein isothiocyanate labeled dextran (FITC-dextran) in CSF by fluorescence spectrophotometry.CP was obtained to observe the morphology of choroid plexus epithelial cells (CPECs) of bilateral cerebral ventricles with a transmission electron microscope. Results:Compared with group C and group A, the latency to eat food in buried food test was significantly prolonged, the time of staying at the central region was shortened, the percentage of the number of entries into novel arm and percentage of time of staying at novel arm in Y maze test were decreased, the freezing time in open field test was shortened, the expression of ZO-1, occludin and claudin1 in CP was down-regulated, the concentrations of NaFI and 10 kDa and 40 kDa FITC-dextranin CSF were increased ( P<0.05 or 0.01), the CPECs arranged at random and loose, the microvilli of CPECs were absent, the tight junction was blurred, and the gap became wider in group P. Conclusion:The occurrence of postoperative delirium is related to the change in blood-cerebrospinal fluid barrier.
