Objective Stromal and glandular cells of human endometrium were successfully isolated and cultured in this experiment. Methods These two types of cells were observed by light microscopy and verified by immunocytochemical staining. Results The result showed that some of stromal cells became adherent after.0 5h of culture.Two shapes of stromal cells were found.One was spindle and the another was polygonal.Immunocytochemical staining method showed that both shapes of stromal cells were positive for vimentin,with 95% of positive rate,and negative for cytokeratin 1,indicating that these cells were endometrial stromal cells.Most of glandular cells became adherent after 24h of culture and formed tightly packed whorls after 4d.Individual cells were polygonal and had a large and round nucleus.Immunocytochemical staining method showed that glandular epithelial cells were positive for cytokeratin 1,with 90% of positive rate,suggesting their nature of epithelial cells. Conclusion Stromal and glandular cells of human endometrium were successfully isolated by using two series of filter and cultured in this experiment. [

Objective In order to elucidate neurotoxic actions of toluene in the air of submarine, the effect of toluene on biochemical alteration in the brain was studied in rat. Methods Adult healthy male Sprague-Dawley (SD) rats were randomly grouped into five groups (blank control group, excipient group, low dose group, medium dose group and high dose group). Toluene-exposed rats were administered with toluene in different doses (once a time every other day). Rats of excipient group were given olive oil with the volume as same as toluene. Nothing was given to rats of blank control group. 30 days later, all rats were sacrificed and the hippocampus and cortex were harvested for determination of nitric oxide synthase (NOS), nitric oxide (NO), malondialdehyde (MDA), Na~+-K~+-ATPase, reactive oxygen substances(ROS) and glutamic acid levels. Results NO content and NOS activity of rat's hippocampus in high dose group increased significantly compared with that of control group, and NO content was significantly positively correlated to NOS activity (r=0.7254, P

Objective To investigate whether the new mechanically-activated (MA) cation channel Piezo 1 protein can cause the apoptosis of human chondrocytes under compressive loading,using a Flexercell unit by activating MAPK/ERK5 signal pathway.Methods Primary human chondrocytes were isolated,cultured,and then subjected to the static compressive loading for 2 h,12 h,24.h and 48 h,respectively.The GsMTx4,which is the special inhibitor of the Piezo1 protein and the BIX02188,which is the inhibitor of the ERK5 served as the inhibitor group.The immunofluorescence was used to locate the expression of the Piezo 1 protein.The expressions of Piezo1 and ERK5 were assessed by reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR),as well as the apoptosis gene B cell lymphoma/leukemia-2 (Bcl-2),Bcl-associated X protein (Bax) and Bcl-associated death promoter (BAD).In addition,Piezo1 inhibitor,GsMTx4,was used to block the MA cation channel Piezo1,served as the inhibitor group.AVPI was used to detect the apoptosis of the OA chondrocytes.Results The location of the Piezo1 was expressed in nucleus and cytoplasm of chondrocytes.The expression of the Piezo1,ERK5,BAD,and Bax mRNA in the OA chondrocytes is weak.The 12 h stretch force group was significant increased,and the 24 h stretch force group was the highest expression.However,the expression of the 48 h group was decreasing.The expression of the Bcl-2 in the 12 h group was decreasing,and the 12 h stretch force group was the lowest expression while the 24 h stretch force group was increasing.In the GsMTx4 group,the expression of the Piezo1,ERK5,BAD,Bax was decreasing while the Bcl-2 was increasing.In the BIX02188 group,the expression of the ERKS,BAD,Bax was increasing while the Bcl-2 was decreasing,while the expression of the Piezo1 was not change.The result of AV-PI shown that the 2 h stretch force group increased early stage of apoptosis.The 12 h stretch force group increased late stage of apoptosis,and the 24 h stretch force group's apoptotic rate was the highest.However,the apoptotic rate of the 48 h group was lower than the 24 h stretch force group.The GsMTx4 could inhibit the late stage of apoptosis.Conclusion Piezo 1 plays an important role in the apoptosis of human chondrocyte through the MAPK/ERK5 signal pathway.

Objective To observe the inhibitory effect of caspase\|3 mRNA antisense oligodeoxynucleotides (ASODN) on the apoptosis of HL\|60 cells, and to screen the effective ASOND. Methods By means of the lipofectimine\|mediating transfection, caspase\|3 mRNA ASODNs of four different sequences were introduced into HL\|60 cells followed by ? irradiation.The gel electrophoresis was performed for the DNA ladder, Hoechst 33258\|propidium iodide fluorecent staining for the percentage of apoptotic cells, and FCM for quantitative analysis of apoptosis. Results When HL\|60 cells were transfected with caspase\|3 mRNA ASODNs targeting 5'noncoding region (sites -62 to -46) and initiative coding region (sites -1 to 16) at the final concentration of ≥3?? mol/L, the DNA ladder was not detected with the gel electrophoresis, nor was the apoptotic peak found with FCM. Fluorescent staining analysis showed that the percentage of apoptotic cells was significantly lower than that in the control groups including non\|transfection group and mismatched oligodeoxynuleotide group ( P

Objective To investigate the effect of recombinant human endostatin (rhES) on the growth of transplanted gastric cancer in nude mices. Methods At the 20 day after tumor transplantation, twelve Balb/c-nu/nu mice were randomly divided into two groups:(1)Control group: 0.9% NS 0.1ml was injected around the tumor,once a day for 10 days; (2)experimental group: rhES 2mg/kg was inpected around the tumor once a day for 10 days. The tumors bulk were measured every five days until five days after injection. VEGF, bFGF,PDGF,VEGF-c, VEGFR-3, FⅧAg, PCNA, bcl-2 and apoptosis index were examined. The tumor inhibition rate(TIR) and tumor condensing rate (TCR) were calculated. The difference of AI , tumor bulk and MVD between the 2 groups were assessed. Results The difference of the tumor bulk between the two group was no statistical significance before injection, but at the time of 15 days after begining of the injection, the difference was significant(P =0.0001); and in the experimental group the tumor bulk was also decreased significantly after treatment(P=0.0015). MVD, VEGF, bFGF, PDGF, VEGF-c,VEGFR-3 and bcl-2 expressed lower in experimental group than those in control group; PCNA expression was the same in the 2 groups. AI increased significant in experimental group compared with in control group (P =0.0000). In experimental group,the TIR was 91.2%,TCR 53.5%,and HE staining presented more necrotic areas.Conclusions rhES can inhibit angiogenesis of the tumor and promote tumor cell apoptosis, so that can inhibit the growth of tumor.
