Objective To investigate the influence of di-(2-ethylexyl) phthalate (DEHP) on cell apoptosis and expression of Bcl-2 and bax in cultured human first trimester cytotrophoblasts. Methods Human first trimester cytotrophoblasts were cultured with DEHP at concentration of 0, 25, 50, 100 μmol/Lfor 24 hours. Cell apoptosis was detected by the terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase-mediated deoxyuridine triphosphate nick-end labeling (TUNEL) and flow cytometer method. The expression of apoptosis-associated genes, including Bcl-2 and bax, were detected by reverse transcription (RT)-PCR in cultured cytotrophoblast cells. The protein expression of Bcl-2 and bax in cytotrophoblast cells was measured by western blot. Results (1) The expression of Bcl-2: when incubated with DEHP at concentration of 0, 25,50 and 100 μmol/L, the expression of Bcl-2 were 1.00 ± 0.05, 1.03 ± 0.04, 1.04 ± 0.03, 1.04± 0.04,which did not show statistical difference ( P > 0.05 ). The expression of Bcl-2 protein were 0.11 ± 0.02,0.11 ±0.04, 0.12±0.02, 0.12 ±0.03, which also didn't reach statistical difference (P>0.05). (2)The expression of bax: when incubated with DEHP at concentration of 50 and 100 μmol/L, the expression of bax protein were 0.63 ± 0.04 and 0.81 ± 0.04, which were significantly higher than 0.23 ± 0.05 with DEHP at 0 μmol/L (P < 0.05). The expression of bax mRNA were 0.96 ± 0.04 and 1.02 ± 0.04, which was significantly higher than 0.81 ±0.05 with DEHP at 0 μmol/L (P < 0.05). (3) Apoptosis: when incubated with DEHP at concentration of 50 and 100 μmol/L for 24 hours, the apoptotic cell ratio were ( 18.8 ± 2.6) % and ( 20.3 ± 2.0) % by annexin V-FITC/PI staining, which were significantly higher than (10.6±1.4)% at 0 μmol/L and (18.1 ±4.6)% and (19.5 ±1.2)% by TUNEL staining, which were significantly higher than ( 11.2 ± 3.1 ) % at 0 μmol/L of DEHP (P < 0.05). Conclusion DEHP could induce apoptosis of cytotrophoblast cells by increasing bax gene expression, but had no effect on Bcl-2 expression.

BACKGROUND:Expanded polytetrafluoroethylene is a kind of porous polymer materials which is commonly used as clinical implants, and it has good biocompatibility, and is not easy to deformation or metamorphism. There is no existence of inflammation absorption reaction, and it al ows the cel migration and tissue ingrowth.
OBJECTIVE:To study the biocompatibility of expanded polytetrafluoroethylene scaffold and human adipose-derived stem cel s.
METHODS:The passage 4 human adipose-derived stem cel s were co-cultured with expanded polytetrafluoroethylene scaffold in vitro. The morphology and function of cel s adhered to the scaffold were observed by inverted phase contrast microscope, and cel adhesive rates and proliferation rates were also calculated by MTT assay.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:The inoculated cel s were round and bright, distributed on the surface of scaffolds uniformly, with good cel viability. After 3 hours a large number of adherent cel s were observed from the micrograph;after 24 hours there were a smal amount of short-spindle adipose-derived stem cel s. After cultured for 3 days, the short fusiform or polygon cel s could be seen clearly. After cultured for 7 days, the number of cel s increased significantly, few cel s fel off from the scaffold, and cel adhesion rate was up to an average of 95.7%. Meanwhile, the cel s revealed normal splitting proliferation rate. These findings indicate that human adipose-derived stem cel s are able to attach, grow and proliferate wel on the scaffold. Expanded polytetrafluoroethylene reveals excel ent cel ular compatibility and can be used as a vehicle for adipose tissue engineering.
