2. Regulation on brain-derived neurotrophic factor and relevant mechanism of anemarrhena saponin in H2O2-induced SH-SY5Y cells
Journal of Shanghai Jiaotong University(Medical Science) 2019;39(6):578-585
Objective • To investigate the effect of anemarrhena saponin (ZMS) on mRNA level of brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) and relevant mechanism in oxidative stress damage of SH-SY5Y cells. Methods • SH-SY5Y cells treated with H2O2 were chosen as cell models of oxidative stress. Cell viability was determined using cell counting kit-8 (CCK-8). The mRNA levels of BDNF and its important transcripts were detected by quantitative real-time PCR (qPCR). The histone deacetylases (HDACs) activity fluorescence quantification assay kit was used to measure the effect of ZMS on HDACs activity. Western blotting was used to detect the protein expression levels of acetylated histone H3, acetylated histone H4, specific acetylation site-related proteins, and HDAC1/2/3. Results • qPCR showed that ZMS could increase the mRNA levels of BDNF and its transcript in the cell models. Western blotting showed that ZMS pretreatment could increase the protein levels of acetylated histone H3, acetylated histone H4 and acetylated histone H3K14, and there was no significant effect on protein levels of HDAC1/2/3. In addition, HDACs activity fluorescence quantification assay kit showed that ZMS could inhibit HDACs activity significantly. Conclusion • ZMS can increase the mRNA levels of BDNF and its transcript in oxidative stress damage cell models, which may be related to the regulation of histone acetylation level

?AlM: To observe the expression of Acin1 ( apoptotic chromatin condensation inducer 1 ) in congenital cataract mouse retina during development and investigate the differences of retinal apoptosis and the connection of lens and retina development between congenital cataract mouse and normal mouse.
?METHODS: There were congenital cataract mice ( 10 female and 5 male) and normal C57BL/6 mice (10 female and 5 male) . One male and two female mice were fed in the same cage randomly. The young mice were divided into two groups: congenital cataract group and normal control group. Five young mice were treated each group on 1, 5, 9, 14, 17, 21, 26, 60d. The left eyes were fixed with 4% neutral formalin to detect AClN1 protein by immunohistochemistry and retinas from right eyes were used to detect the mRNA expression of Acin1.
?RESULTS: Acin1 had sustained expression in each group. AClN1 protein gradually expressed from the ganglion cell layer, inner nuclear layer to the outer nuclear layer following retinal development. lt mainly expressed on ganglion cell layer and inner nuclear layer, but not neuroblastoma layer. AClN1 protein positive cells on P1 ~ P14d increased in normal control group, P17d reduced, after P21d positive cells of each layers decreased. The overall trend was similar in congenital cataract group with normal control group, P1 ~ P14d positive cells count was lower than normal control group, P17-P21d positive cells were flat and higher than the normal control group. Compared with the same day of the two groups, the differences except for P17, P26, P60d were significant (P<0. 05). The overall difference was statistically significant in congenital cataract group ( Fcataract=295. 07, P<0. 01);in addition to P1 and P5, P17 and P21, the differences were statistically significant ( P< 0. 05 ) compared with each other in congenital cataract group. The overall difference was statistically significant in control group (Fnormal=214. 21, P<0. 01); in addition to P1 and P5d, the difference was statistically significant ( P<0. 05) compared with each other in control group. The expression of P17d in congenital cataract group was lower compared with that of P14d in control group, the difference was statistically significant (P<0. 05). Acin1 mRNA trends of two groups were similar with AClN1 protein. Compared with the same day of the two groups, the difference was significant except for P17, P21, P60d (P<0. 05 ) . The overall difference was statistically significant in each other of the two groups ( Fcataract=522. 29, P<0. 01;Fnormal=472. 05, P<0. 01). The difference was statistically significant compared with each day in control group ( P<0. 05). Compared with all the rest of days except for P21 and P26d, the difference was statistically significant in congenital cataract group (P<0. 05).
?CONCLUSlON: Acin1 exist differential expression of time and space in mouse retina during development, congenital cataract crystal developmental disorder may affect the expression of Acin1 and retinal cell apoptosis and development.
4. Molecular Characterization of La Protein in a Mouse Acute Hepatitis Model
Chinese Pharmaceutical Journal 2019;54(12):981-986
OBJECTIVE: To explore the role of La protein in acute hepatitis B virus (HBV) by establishing a mouse model. METHODS: We constructed an acute hepatitis B virus model by hydrodynamics-based injection of plasmid pAAV/HBV1.2 containing 1.2 times HBV genome. The expression levels of HBV DNA, HBsAg and HBeAg in serum were detected by RT-PCR and ELISA, respectively. HBcAg in liver tissue were assayed by immunohistochemical staining.The level of ALT was detected by bioluminescence. Pathological changes in liver carried by Hematoxylin and eosin (HE) staining. RT-PCR, Western blot and ELISA were used to detect the changes of mRNA level and protein expression level of La protein. RESULTS: The levels of HBV DNA, HBsAg and HBeAg in the serum of mice, and the percentage of HBcAg-positive hepatocytes in liver tissues was up to 3.66% at day 5 showed that the mouse model of acute HBV was successfully constructed. The level of serum ALT and HE results showed that the liver damage was serious after the model was established, and then dropped sharplyand returned to normal. The mRNA level of La protein in the liver of the mice indicates that the level of La protein in the model group was generally higher than that in the control group. However, Western bolt results showed that there was no significant difference in intracellular protein levels, but the level of La protein in serum of mice is generally higher thancontrol group, especially on the 7th day (P<0.000 1). CONCLUSION: The acute HBV model was successfully constructed. The level of La protein in this model is related to HBV expression, suggesting that La protein may be involved in the pathogenesis of HBVandbea new marker in diagnosis of HBV.

Medical Journal of Chinese People's Liberation Army 2014;39(10):782-786
Objective To investigate the variation and significance of the expressions of NF-kB, inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) and cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) in the renal tissue of insulin-resistant rat. Methods Thirty healthy male Wistar rats were bred since 2 months old, and they were randomly divided into normal control (NC) group (n=15) and insulin-resistant (IR) group (n=15). Insulin resistance rat model was reproduced by feeding with high fat and sucrose diet. Hyperinsulinemic-euglycemic clamp test was used to verify the reproduction of the model. The kidneys of the rats were obtained after the successful reproduction of the model. The change in renal histology was observed by HE staining, and the expressions of iNOS and COX-2 in the kidneys were detected by immunohistochemistry staining. The mRNA expressions of NF-κB, iNOS and COX-2 in the kidneys were assessed with RT-PCR. DNA binding activity of NF-κB in the rat's kidney was assessed with electrophoretic mobility shift assay (EMSA). Results HE staining showed that, compared with NC group, the early lesions of the renal tissue, such as glomerular enlargement and mesangial region broadening, could be seen in IR group. Immunohistochemical staining showed that the positive expressions of iNOS and COX-2 were up-regulated significantly in IR group than in NC group (P<0.05). RT-PCR revealed that the expressions of NF-κB mRNA, iNOS mRNA and COX-2 mRNA in renal tissue were significantly higher in IR group than in NC group (P<0.05). EMSA showed that the binding activity of NF-κB in renal tissue increased significantly in IR group than in NC group (P<0.05). Conclusion NF-κB activation is present in the kidney tissue in the insulin resistance rat, which may upregulate the expression of downstream target gene iNOS and COX-2, resulting in damage to kidney tissue. The activation of NF-κB maybe one of the initiative factors that lead to the kidney lesion of the insulin resistance rat.

To ensure the safety of the commercially available chenpi, a convenient and fast analytical method was developed for the determination of 133 pesticide residues in chenpi using gas chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (GC-MS/MS). In this study, different extraction solvents, redissolution solvents and adsorbents were tested according to the recovery and purification effect to obtain a modified QuEChERS method. The samples were extracted with acetonitrile. During the clean-up step, octadecyl-modified silica (C18) and graphitized carbon black (GCB) were selected, and aminopropyl (NH2) was used instead of primary secondary amine (PSA) because of its weaker ion exchange capacity which had little effect on the recovery of ditalimfos. Samples were quantified by matrix-matched calibration with internal stan-dards. All pesticides showed good linearity in the respective range, both with values of r2 >0.99. The average recoveries of the pesticides spiked samples ranged from 70.0% to 112.2% with the RSDs of 0.2%–14.4%. The modified QuEChERS method was validated and applied to twenty real samples. Five pesticides were found in eight batches, but no pesticide exceeded the maximum residue limits (MRL, MRL reference to European commission).

OBJECTIVETo investigate clinical and molecule genetics features of four Ph-positive leukemia patients characterized by pericentric inv(9)(p22q34) with the der(9)t(9;22)(q34;q11).
METHODSCytogenetic analysis was carried out on bone marrow directly or after short-period culture. R banding was used for karyotype analysis. BCR/ABL fusion gene was detected with interphase fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH), and chromosome painting was carried out using specific probes. RT-PCR was used to detect BCR/ABL chimeric transcripts.
RESULTSOne patient with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) presented three clones, which included one with a normal karyotype, one with t(9;22)(q34;q11), and one with inv(9)(p22q34) involving the der(9)t(9;22) and additional t(8;12)(q12;p11). The inv(9)(p22q34) has always co-occurred with der(9)t(9;22)(q34;q11) accompanied by der(22)t(9;22)(q34;q11) in all metaphases from the three patients with chronic myeloid leukemia (CML). B3a2 transcript was detected in all patients by RT-PCR. Inv(9)(p22q34) was found in both CML and AML, and was associated with poor prognosis.
CONCLUSIONInv(9)(p22q34) is a novel, rare, but recurrent secondary chromosomal abnormality for Ph-positive leukemia. Leukemia with der(9)t(9;22) and inv(9)(p22q34) has unique clinical and laboratory characteristics.

A metabolic profiling analysis method for metabolomic studies of rice leaf was established based on HSS T3 combined with XBridge Amide Q-TOF LC/MS by comparing the influences of different extraction methods in rice leaves of metabolites. The extraction and separation of rice leaf metabolites using three different methods including methanol-chloroform-water,methanol-chloroform-ammonia,methanol-methyl tert-butyl ether -water and different chromatographic systems were compared by the numbers of peaks, identified metabolites and the metabolic pathways. The results showed that the method of methanol-chloroform-water reached the highest coverage rate of metabolites in rice leaves,and the maximum number of unique metabolites including prephenic acid, luteolin, α-linolenic acid, aconitic acid, gibberellin A12 aldehyde, isovitexin, L-Glutamate were detected. Metabolites with different polarity in rice leaf could be detected by HSS T3 and XBridge Amide. A total of 16 kinds of organic acids, 17 kinds of nucleotides, 21 kinds of amino acids, 66 kinds of fatty acids,11 kinds of phospholipids and 7 kinds of sphingolipids were identified. XBridge Amide had an absolute advantage in detecting phospholipids and sphingolipids. The metabolic pathways involved purine metabolism, pyrimidine metabolism, tricarboxylic acid cycle, arginine metabolism, fatty acid metabolism, phospholipid metabolism, sphingolipid metabolism, phenylalanine metabolism and vitamin B2 synthesis. It showed certain complementarity between the two columns in identifying metabolites and involved the metabolic pathways. The established method is expected to be useful for the metabolomic studies of rice.

This study is to evaluate the therapeutic effect of fibroblast growth factor 21 (FGF21) on type 2 diabetic mice model and to provide mechanistic insights into its therapeutic effect. Type 2 diabetic animal model was established with high calorie fat diet and low dose streptozotocin (STZ) injection. Mice were then randomized into 5 groups: model control, FGF21 0.25 and 0.05 μmol x kg(-1) x d(-1) groups, insulin treatment group. Ten age-matched normal KM mouse administered with saline were used as normal controls. Serum glucose, insulin, lipid products and the change of serum and liver tissue inflammation factor levels between five groups of mouse were determined. The results showed that blood glucose, insulin, free fatty acids (FFAs), triglycerides, and inflammatory factor average FGF-21 of type 2 diabetes model group and normal control group were significantly higher (P < 0.01), while compared with insulin group, no difference was significant. Average blood glucose, insulin, blood lipid and inflammatory factor of FGF-21 treatment group compared with type 2 diabetes group was significantly lower (P < 0.01) and insulin group has no difference with the model control group. The results of OGTT and HOMA-IR showed that insulin resistance state was significantly relieved in a dose-dependent manner. Thus, this study demonstrates that FGF-21 significantly remits type 2 diabetic mice model's insulin resistance state and participates in the regulation of inflammatory factor levels and type 2 diabetes metabolic disorders.
