Objective To explore the effect of dose rate of X-rays on migration of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) cells and provide the experimental basis for developing radiotherapy scheme. Methods Human NSCLC cell line A549 was cultured and irradiated with X-rays at dose of 6 Gy from a linear accelerator. The dose rates of 1, 2, 4 and 6 Gy/min were selected. Monolayer adherent cells were scratched and photographed at 0 hour and 24 hours under a microscope to measure the scratch width. Results After 24 hours, the scratch width of nonirradiated control cells was (640.7±8.1)μm. The scratch widths of cells were different when cells were irradiated with X-rays of various dose rates. Scratch widths were the largest in cells irradiated at dose rates of 1 Gy/min [(691.4±7.6)μm] and 6 Gy/min [(691.8±12.1)μm]. The scratch width was (666.2±1.3) μm of X-rays at 4 Gy/min, and there were significant differences compared with nonirradiated group (all P< 0.01), which suggested that inhibitory effect of X-rays at dose rates on A549 cell migration was obvious. However, the scratch width of cells irradiated at 2 Gy/min [(643.5 ±6.8) μm] had no difference compared with the control cells (t=-0.336, P=0.742). Conclusions The effect of X-rays irradiation on cell migration of human NSCLC cell line A549 is related with irradiated dose rate. The effect of different dose rates on cell migration is significantly different. Selecting appropriate dose rates for irradiation may help to improve the efficacy of radiotherapy.

Objective To study the effect of osgentide (OST) on proliferation of mouse preosteoblast MC3T3-E1 under simulated microgravity ( SMG ) .Methods Under normal conditions , cell proliferation was evaluated by MTT assay to screen an OST compound of an effective concentration after MC 3T3-E1 cells were treated with series OSTs .Furthermore, cell proliferation and cell cycle distribution of MC 3T3-E1 cells were analyzed after treatment with 1 nmol/L OST5 by MTT assay and by flow cytometry ( FCM) scanning under SMG .Results Under normal conditions , 1 nmol/L OST5 was able to significantly promote the proliferation of MC3T3-E1 cells (P<0.01).Under SMG, proliferation of MC3T3-E1 cells was significantly inhibited and more cells entered G 1 than under normal conditions (CN).The proportion of S phase of MC3T3-E1 cells after treatment with 1 nmol/L OST5 ( OST-SMG) for 3 d was higher than that of untreated MC 3T3-E1 cells under SMG,suggesting that OST5 could promote DNA synthesis ( P<0.05 ) .Conclusion OST5 facilitates the proliferation of MC3T3-E1 cells under SMG, which provides a basis for the use of OST5 in the prevention and treatment of bone loss relat-ed to microgravity .

Objective:To investigate the function of gasdermin D (GSDMD) in intestinal damage of mice with severe acute pancreatitis (SAP).Methods:The healthy C57BL/6 mice were divided into four groups randomly, including normal saline (NS) group, small interfering RNA (siRNA)-NS group, SAP model group and siRNA-SAP group, with 6 mice in each group. The SAP mouse model was reproduced by intraperitoneal injection of caerulein 50 μg/kg combined with lipopolysaccharide (LPS) 10 mg/kg; the NS group was given the same amount of NS; in the siRNA-SAP group and siRNA-NS group, siRNA 50 mg/kg was injected through the tail vein three times before modeling or injection of NS. The blood of mice eyeball in each group was taken 12 hours after modeling, and serum interleukins (IL-1β, IL-18) levels were detected by enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). The mice were sacrificed to observe the general changes in abdominal cavity, the pancreas and ileum tissues were taken to observe the pathological changes under a light microscope. The expression of long-chain non-coding RNA uc.173 (lnc uc.173) was detected by reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR). Immunohistochemical method was used to detect the expression of tight junction proteins zonula occluden-1 (ZO-1) and Occludin in intestinal mucosal epithelial cells. Western blotting was used to detect the GSDMD protein expression level in the intestinal tissue.Results:The serum levels of IL-1β and IL-18 in the SAP model group were significantly higher than those in the NS group and the siRNA-NS group [IL-1β (ng/L): 146.66±1.40 vs. 44.48±5.76, 81.49±10.75, IL-18 (ng/L): 950.47±177.09 vs. 115.43±16.40, 84.84±21.90, all P < 0.05]; and the levels of IL-1β and IL-18 in the siRNA-SAP group were significantly lower than those in the SAP model group [IL-1β (ng/L): 116.26±15.54 vs. 146.66±1.40, IL-18 (ng/L): 689.96±126.08 vs. 950.47±177.09, both P < 0.05]. General observation showed that there were no obvious abnormalities in the abdominal cavity of the mice in the NS and siRNA-NS groups; the mice in the SAP model group and the siRNA-SAP group had different degrees of edema and congestion in the intestine; compared with the SAP model group, the abnormalities in the siRNA-SAP group was significantly reduced. Under light microscope, there were no obvious changes in the pancreas and intestinal mucosa in the NS group and the siRNA-NS group; the pancreatic tissue of the SAP model group and the siRNA-SAP group had different degrees of edema, inflammatory cell infiltration, and lobular structure damage, and the intestinal mucosa was damaged to a certain degree, and the villi were broken to varying degrees, but the damage in the siRNA-SAP group was lighter. The results of RT-PCR showed that the expression of lnc uc.173 in the intestinal tissues of the model SAP group was significantly lower than that of the NS group and the siRNA-NS group (2 -ΔΔCt: 0.26±0.12 vs. 1.01±0.37, 0.67±0.32, both P < 0.05), while the expression of lnc uc.173 in the siRNA-SAP group was significantly higher than that in the SAP model group (2 -ΔΔCt: 0.60±0.39 vs. 0.26±0.12, P < 0.05). Immunohistochemistry showed that ZO-1 and Occludin proteins in the NS group were distributed along the epithelial cells of the intestinal mucosa, showing a strong expression; ZO-1 and Occludin expressions were significantly reduced in the SAP model group and siRNA-SAP group, but the expressions in the siRNA-SAP group was higher than that in the SAP model group. Western blotting showed that the expression level of GSDMD protein in the intestinal tissues of the SAP model group was significantly higher than that of the NS group and the siRNA-NS group [GSDMD protein (GSDMD-N/β-actin): 1.99±0.46 vs. 1, 1.00±0.78, both P < 0.05]. Compared with the SAP model group, the expression of GSDMD protein in the siRNA-SAP group was significantly decreased [GSDMD protein (GSDMD-N/β-actin): 1.42±0.42 vs. 1.99±0.46, P < 0.05]. Conclusions:The systemic inflammatory response and intestinal mucosal barrier damage of SAP mice may be related to the increase of GSDMD expression in intestinal tissues. GSDMD mediates cell pyrolysis to promote the release of inflammatory factors, cause intestinal injury, and down-regulate the expression of intestinal epithelial cell tight junction proteins such as ZO-1 and Occludin, resulting in intestinal mucosal damage.
