Objective To evaluate the relationship between Toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4)/nuclear factor kappa B (NF-κB) signaling pathway and propofol-induced inhibition of endotoxin-induced release of tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α) from alveolar macrophages (AMs) of rats.Methods AMs extracted from adult male Sprague-Dawley rats were cultured and inoculated in 6-well plates (1 × 106 cells/well)and in 96-well plates (1×104 cells/well).The cells were divided into 5 groups (n=18 each) using a random number table:control group (group C),dimethyl sulfoxide group (group D),lipopolysaccharide (LPS) group (group L),propofol group (group P) and LPS plus propofol group (group L+P).The cells were continuously cultured with phosphate buffer solution in group C.Dimethyl sulfoxide was added at the final concentration of 5 mg/ml in group D.LPS was added at the final concentration of 1 μg/ml in group L.Propofol was added at the final concentration of 25 μmol/L (4.46 μg/ml) in group P.LPS and propofol were added at the final concentration of 1 μg/ml and 25 μmol/L (4.46 μg/ml),respectively,in group L+P.At 24 h of culture or incubation,the cell viability was detected by CCK-8 assay,the morphological changes of cells were observed using Wright's staining,the concentration of TNF-α in the supernatant was determined by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay,and TLR4 expression and NF-κB activities were measured by Western blot.Results Compared with group C,the cell viability and concentration of TNF-α in the supernatant were significantly increased,the expression of TLR4 was up-regulated,and the activity of NF-κB was enhanced in L and L+P groups (P<0.05),and no significant change was found in the parameters mentioned above in D and P groups (P>0.05).Compared with group L,the cell viability and concentration of TNF-α in the supernatant were significantly decreased,the expression of TLR4 was down-regulated,and the activity of NF-κB was weakened (P<0.05),the morphological changes of cells were significantly attenuated,and the number of pseudopodia was reduced in group L+P.Conclusion The mechanism by which propofol inhibits endotoxin-induced release of TNF-α from AMs is related to inhibited activation of TLR4/NF-λB signaling pathway in rats.

National Journal of Andrology 2003;9(4):288-295
In recent years, people have paid more attention to the spermatogonial stem cells that have the capacity for self renewal and multilineage differentiation and produce daughter cells that can expand and differentiate into spermatozoa under the adjustment of self genes and external signal. This article reviews recent advances in studies of enrichment and original selection of the spermatogonial stem cells. This review also summarizes some control factors in proliferation and transplantation techniques.

Objective To investigate the role of hippocampal cyclophilin D (CypD) in sepsis-associated encephalopathy in rats.Methods A total of 36 adult male Sprague-Dawley rats,aged 3-4 months,weighing 300-400 g,were randomly divided into 3 groups (n =12 each) using a random number table:sham operation group (Sham group),sepsis group (S group),and sepsis + CypD inhibitor cyclosporin A group (CsA group).Sepsis was induced by cecal ligation and puncture (CLP).Cyclosporin A 6 mg/kg was injected intraperitoneally at 30 min before CLP in group CsA.All the animals underwent Morris water maze test on 4th day after CLP.The animals were sacrificed after the test,and the hippocampus was isolated for determination of the expression of cytochrome c (Cyt c),CypD,caspase-3,brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF),phosphorylated protein kinase A (p-PKA),and phosphorylated cyclic adenosine monophosphate response element-binding protein (p-CREB).Results Compared with group Sham,the escape latency was significantly prolonged,the space exploration time was shortened,the expression of Cyt c,CypD,caspase-3,p-PKA and p-CREB was up-regulated,and the expression of BDNF was down-regulated in S and CsA groups (P<0.05).Compared with group S,the escape latency was significantly shortened,the space exploration time was prolonged,the expression of Cyt c,CypD,caspase-3,p-PKA and p-CREB was down-regulated,and the expression of BDNF was up-regulated in group CsA (P<0.05).Conclusion Hippocampal CypD may be involved in the pathophysiological mechanism of sepsis-associated encephalopathy,and the downstream mechanism is probably related to promotion of activation of PKA/CREB signaling pathway in rats.
