Objective Through comparision of HER2/neu status detected by immunohistoehemistry (IHC),fluorescence insitu hybridization(FISH)and chromogenic insitu hybridization(CISH),to explore the clinical significance of FISH and CISH on detecting gene status of HER2.Methods Sixty-four paraffinembedded breast samples whose pathological types were infiltrating ductal carcinomas were tested by IHC for HER2 protein overexpression and CISH,FISH for HER2 gene status.The rate of chromosome 17 polysomy was also analyzed.Results Among the cases of HER2 protein overexpression(+++)group,the concordant ratios of IHC and CISH.FISH detecting HER2/neu status were 100%.Among the cases of HER2 protein overexpression(++)group,the concordant ratios were 95.83%and 91.67%.Among the cases of HER2 protein overexpression(+/-)group,the concordant ratios were also 100%.One case in which FISH and CISH were performed yielded the different results.so the general coincident rate was 98.41%.The incidence of chromosome 17 polysomy Was 45.16%,45.83%and 11.11%in three IHC(+++,++,+/-)groups,and the total incidence was 40.62%.ConclusionIHC is a preliminary screening method;HER2 gene status detected by CISH and FISH have high concordant ratio,CISH is a more convenience and viable method to detect HER2/neu status,when doubling interference of fichromosome 17 polysomy,we need to select FISH further.

Objective To detect circulating CD4 + CD25 + regulatory T cells (Treg) and Toll-like receptor(TLR)2 and TLR4 expression on the peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) of patients with HBV-related liver cirrhosis (LC), and to explore the correlation between them. Methods PBMCs isolated from 30 LC patients, 21 chronic hepatitis B (CHB) patients and 16 normal controls(NC) were stained with fluorescent labeling anti-TLR2-PE, anti-TLR4-APC, anti-CD14-FITC monoclonal antibodies and anti-CD4-PerCP, anti-CD25-FITC, anti-CD127-PE. Samples were detected by flow cytometry. Statistic analysis be-tween groups was performed by Kruskal-Wallis H test. Spearman rank correlation was used to analyze the correlation of Treg and TLR2, TLR4. Results The expression of TLR2 and TLR4 were significantly up-reg-ulated in patients with LC than those in the controls (TLR2 : 200.3 ± 96.8 vs 94.1 ± 17.6, P < 0.05 ; TLR4:32.1 ±7.2 vs 17.8 ±3.9, P<0.05). The expression of TLR4 was significantly increased in pa-tients with LC than those in patients with CHB (TLR4 : 32. 1 ± 7.2 vs 25.2 ± 8.3, P < 0.05), but there were no differences of TLR2 expression between LC and CHB(200.3 ± 96.8 vs 214.0 ± 72.6, P > 0.05). Treg/CD4+ T cells were 5.07% ±1.43%, 5.88% ±1.66%, 4.21% ±1.24% in patients with LC, CHB and NC, respectively. Treg/CD4+ T cells were significantly increased in patients with CHB than those in pa-tients with NC(P<0. 05) and LC(P <0.05), but there were no differences between LC and NC(P > 0.05). TLR4 expression and Treg were positive correlation (r = 0. 469, P = 0. 032) and TLB2 expression were negative correlation in patients with LC (r = -0.428, P = 0.021). Conclusion The expression of TLR2 and TLR4 were up-regulated on PBMCs in patients with LC. It seems to be expression of TLR2 and TLR4 in-volved in the pathogenesis of LC.

Objective To investigate the effectiveness of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cell (MSC) and different transplantation methods of MSC on adriamycin (ADR) model of nephropathy in rats. Methods The ADR model of nephrop-athy was induced by left nephrectomy plus injection of ADR (2.5 mg/kg) in Sprague-Dawley (SD) rats, once a week for two weeks. The model rats with nephropathy were randomly divided into three groups: adriamycin nephropathic model control group (ADR, n=12), MSCs transplantation through right renal artery group (M-A, n=12) and MSCs transplantation through peripheral veins group (M-V, n=12). Another 12 SD rats were served as normal controls (N, n=12). MSCs were cultured, transplanted via right renal artery (2×106/mL) to rats in M-A group, and were transplanted via peripheral veins 2×106/mL) to rats in M-V group. The same procedure was repeated in two weeks. The blood urea nitrogen, serum creatinine, 24 h urine protein and 24 h uromicroprotein were detected before transplantation and in one and two weeks after the second transplanta-tion. The renal morphology and labeled cells were examined in the kidney one week after the second transplantation. Results The values of blood urea nitrogen, serum creatinine, 24 h urine protein and 24 h uromicroprotein were significant-ly higher in M-A group, M-V group and ADR group than those of N group (P<0.01). The level of 24 h uromicroprotein was significantly lower before the second transplantation in M-A group than that of ADR group (P<0.01). The serum level of cre-atinine was significantly decreased in M-A group than that of ADR group and M-V group (P<0.01). The levels of 24 h urine protein and 24 h uromicroprotein were significantly lower after one week transplantation in M-A group than those of M-V group (P<0.01). The serum level of creatinine was significantly lower two weeks after the second transplantation in M-A group than that of ADR group and M-V group (P<0.01), but no significant differences in the levels of urine protein and uro-microprotein between M-A group and M-V group. Conclusion Transplantation of MSCs can alleviate renal damage of chronic ADR-induced nephropathy, which is more effective in rats with MSCs transplantation via renal artery than that in rats with MSCs transplantation via peripheral vein.

OBJECTIVE:To investigate the effects of total paeony glycoside (TPG) on the expression of tumor suppressor gene in lung cancer model rats. METHODS:90 rats were randomly divided into normal group,model group,positive control group [cyclophosphamide,50 mg/(kg·d)] and TPG low-dose,medium-dose and high-dose groups [50,100,200 mg/(kg·d)] with 15 rates in each group. Except for normal group,other groups were given disposable infusion of carcinogenic iodized oil via left lobe bronchus to induce lung cancer model. After modeling,those groups were given relevant medicine intravenously from Monday to Friday,while normal group and model group were given constant volume of normal saline intravenously for consecutive 16 weeks. The expression of multidrug resistance associated protein(MRP),human multidrug resistance gene(MDR1),P21 and P16 mRNA in lung tissue of rats were determined by RT-PCR;the expression of P53 protein in lung cancer tissue was determined by IHC method.The rate of positive expression was calculated,and pathological change of lung tissue was observed. RESULTS:Com-pared with normal group,the expression of MRP,MDR1,P21,P16 mRNA and P53 protein(positive rate of 66.67%)in lung tis-sue was increased significantly in model group (P<0.05);compared with model group,the expression of MRP,MDR1,P21, P16 mRNA and P53 protein (positive rate of 46.67%,46.67%,40.00%,13.33%) decreased in positive control group,TPG low-dose,medium-dose and high-dose groups in dose-dependent manner,and the decrease of TPG medium-dose and high-dose groups were more significant than that of positive control group (P<0.05);there was statistical significance in above indexes among TPG groups(P<0.05). CONCLUSIONS:TPG could inhibit the expression of MRP,MDR1,P21,P16 gene and P53 pro-tein in lung cancer model rats significantly.

Objective To observe the protective effects of Toll-like receptor(TLR)-4 siRNA against acute liver injury in mice induced by lipopolysaccharide(LPS)and D-galactosamine(D-GalN).Methods One hundred and fifty C57BL/6 male mice were divided into 5 groups: phosphate buffered solution(PBS)pretreatment group,negative control plasmid pretreatment group,TS4 pretreatment group,TS6 pretreatment group and TS7 pretreatment group.Acute liver injury was induced in mice by intraperitoneal coinjection of LPS(10 ng/g)and D-GalN(1 mg/g).In vivo delivery of siRNA was performed via the tail vein by hydrodynamic injections(50 μg siRNA dissolved in 1 mL PBS)24 h and 48 h before coinjection of LPS and D-GalN. Expression of TLR-4 in liver tissues was measured by immunohistochemistry.The changes of TLR-4,tumor necrosis factor(TNF)-α and macrophage nflammatory protein(MIP)-2 mRNA levels in liver tissues were determined by reverse transcriptasepolymerase chain reaction(RT-PCR)analysis.MIP-2 and TNF-α concentrations in the sera of mice were determined by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay(ELISA). Levels of alanine transaminase (ALT) and aspartate transaminase(AST) in serum were measured by standard autoanalyzer techniques. Liver pathological changes were observed by haematoxylin-eosin staining, while cell apoptosis levels in liver were determined by terminal deoxynucleotidyl-mediated-dUTP nick end labeling (TUNEL)assay. The difference of survival rates in 5 groups was analyzed by Fisher's exact probability test.ResultsPretreatment with TLR-4 siRNA down-regulated the TLR-4 mRNA and protein expressions,and significantly decreased the mortality and liver injury caused by coinjection of LPS and D-GalN in C57BL/6 mice.TLR-4 siRNA significantly down-regulated the TNF-α and MIP-2 mRNA expression and cytokine levels as determined by RT-PCR and ELISA,respectively. TLR-4 siRNA abrogated hepatocyte necrosis and inflammatory infiltration and also remarkably reduced serum concentrations of transaminases. The percentage of TUNEL-positive hepatocytes was significantly reduced in TLR-4 siRNA pretreatment group(TS4 pretreatment group: 0.065±0.015 vs PBS pretreatment group; 0.346±0.062,P＜0.05).ConclusionIt suggest that inhibition of TLR-4 expression by TLR-4 siRNA may provide potential application value for preventing liver injury.
