Objective To detect the expression of Ezrin in giant-cell tumor of bone,and to investigate its cilincal significance. Methods 60 cases of biopsy which had been confirmed as bone giant-cell tumors in our hospital from January 2008 to December 2013 were set as observation group;tumor tissues from 8 cases of reactive new bone in nonmalignant bone diseases,12 cases of osteoid osteoma and 11 cases of osteoblastoma in the corresponding period were set as control group. Protein and gene levels of Ezrin were tested with Western blotting method and real-time PCR detection,simultaneously proceeded the corresponding analysis combined with the clinical data of patients;60 cases of bone giant-cell tumor patients accepted tumor resection and pros-thesis replacement,2 courses of preoperative chemotherapy;mitochondria morphological changes of tumor tissue and Ezrin protein and genetic changes were observed before and after chemotherapy. Results In the giant-cell tumors of bone,the Ezrin protein mainly located in the cytoplasm,and its expression positive rate was much higher than that in reactive new bone of nonmalignant bone diseases(19. 7% ),osteoid osteoma(21. 2% )and osteoblastoma(20. 7% );the difference was statistically significant(χ2 = 4. 18,P = 0. 024),but no statistical difference in the Ezrin expression among the groups of osteosarcoma,osteoid osteoma and osteblastoma(χ2 =6. 18,P = 0. 087). In the giant-cell tumors of bone tissue after chemotherapy,mitochondria pyknosis and the phenomenon of liquid cavitation was less than that before the treatment,and Ezrin protein expression decreased and gene levels reduced[(23. 99 ± 1. 49)vs(20. 11 ± 1. 11),t = 5. 03,P = 0. 018)]. Conclusion The expression of Ezrin in giant-cell tumor of bone is much higher than other benign bone tumor,and it could be a biological marker for differentiating benign and malignant bone tumor. Early intervention in Ezrin may be helpful for reatment of giant-cell tumor of bone.

Objective To investigate the expression of monocyte-macrophage-related factors and interstitial fibrosis in kidney tissues of rats with ureter obstruction and recanalization .Methods Forty-eight male Spragur-Dawley rats were divided randomly into the obstructive group:sham (n=6), unilateral ureteral obstruction(UUO)3 days (n=6), UUO 7 days (n=6), and UUO 14 days (n=6) and recanalization group:bilateral ureteral obstruction(RBUO)0 day (n=6), 3 days after RBUO (n=6), 7 days after RBUO (n=6), and 14 days after RBUO (n=6).The kidneys were excised on day 3, 7, and 14, and the deposition of collagen fibers in kidney was detected with HE and Masson staining . Immunohistochemical analysis was performed to evaluate the protein expressions of monocyte chemoattractant protein -1 (MCP-1), macrophage colony-stimulating factor (M-CSF) and activated-macrophage marker CD68.Real-time PCR was used to detect the mRNA expressions of MCP-1 and M-CSF.TGF-β1 levels were determined by ELISA .Results Fibrosis observed with HE and Masson staining was obviously increased in kidney tissue of UUO rats , and aggravated as time prolonged, but alleviated in rats with recanalization .TGF-β1 levels were increased obviously in the UUO group , but decreased in rats with recanalization compared with those in BUO rats .In UUO rats, mRNA and protein expression levels of MCP-1 and M-CSF were increased .MCP-1 and M-CSF expression was gradually decreased in rats with recanalization compared with those in BUO rats .The dynamic change in expression of MCP-1 and M-CSF in both UUO rats and recanalization rats was consistent with the change in expression of CD 68. Conclusion Dynamic change in expression of MCP-1 and M-CSF in kidney tissues reflects change of activated and accumulated monocyte -macrophages , which may be one of the major mechanisms contributing to fibrosis induced by ureter obstruction .Renal fibrosis is alleviated by down-regulated expression of monocyte-macrophages factors with recanalization operation .

AIM:To investigate the effect of cyclopamine on Hedgehog (HH) signaling, phenotypic transfor-mation and matrix accumulation induced by aristolochic acid (AA) in renal tubular epithelial cell NRK-52E.METHODS:NRK-52E cells were randomly divided into control group (treated with solvent only), AA group (treated with AA at con-centrations of 1, 5, 10 mg/L) and cyclopamine group (treated with AA at concentration of 10 mg/L plus cyclopamine at concentrations of 1, 5, 10μmol/L).After cultured for 24 h, the mRNA expression of Ptch1, Smo,α-SMA, E-cadherin, ZO-1, BMP-7, type I collagen and type III collagen was quantified by real-time PCR.The protein levels of Shh and TGF-β1 were detected by ELISA .Immunofluorescence staining was used to evaluate the expression of Ptch 1, Smo,α-SMA, E-cadherin and type III collagen in the NRK-52E cells.RESULTS: AA increased the expression of TGF-β1, α-SMA and type III collagen, decreased the expression of E-cadherin and ZO-1 protein, and down-regulated the expression of Ptch1, Shh and Smo mRNA in the NRK-52E cells, indicating that AA activated HH signaling , and phenotypic transformation and matrix accumulation occurred in AA-treated NRK-52E cells.Treatment with cyclopamine inhibited HH signaling by decrea-sing Smo expression and increasing Ptch 1 expression.Moreover, cyclopamine also down-regulated the expression of TGF-β1,α-SMA, type I collagen and III collagen , and up-regulated the expression of BMP-7, ZO-1 and E-cadherin.CON-CLUSION:AA induces phenotypic transformation and matrix accumulation in renal tubular epithelial cells , which can be inhibited by cyclopamine treatment .The possible mechanism is that cyclopamine suppresses the activation of HH signaling , resulting in the reduction of epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition and matrix deposition .

Objective To investigate the effects of IL-12 coexpression level on antigen expression and immune responses induced by HBsAg DNA vaccination. Methods DNA vaccine plasmid pHBV carrying codon-optimized preS2-S gene of reference sequence CHN-HBV07-C in China was constructed. Three DNA vaccine plasmids pHBV-12i, pHBV-12l and pHBV-12h were also constructed by subcloning three different IL-12 expression cassettes with various expression strengths to plasmid pHBV, respectively. Expression levels of IL-12 and HBsAg in vaccine plasmid-tranfected 293T cells were measured by quantitative ELISA. DNA vaccines were administered intramuscularly to BALB/c mice and HBsAg-specific cellular immune responses were determined by IFN-γ ELISPOT. HBsAg-specific antibodies were tested by Chemiluminescence Quantitative Immunoassay. Results The HBsAg expression level in 293T cells was 70 ng/ml when transfected by plasmid pHBV without IL-12 expression cassette, and the HBsAg level was 18 ng/ml when transfected by plasmid pHBV-12l carrying low-level IL-12 expression cassette, whereas the HBsAg level was only 6 ng/ml when transfected by plasmid pHBV-12h carrying high-level IL-12 expression cassette.Results of DNA vaccination revealed that HBsAg-specific humoral and cellular immune responses were significantly decreased in mice administering vaccine pHBV-12h carrying high-level IL-12 expression cassette. Although HBsAg-specific antibody responses in mice inoculated with pHBV-12l were also decreased when compared with those in pHBV-vaccinated mice without IL-12 expression, the HBsAg-specific cellular immune responses were significantly increased. Conclusion High-level coexpression of IL-12 may suppress the expression of HBsAg, Whereas modest coexpression of IL-12 significantly enhanced the HBsAg-specific T cell responses induced by DNA vaccination. Therefore, it is so important to balance the expression between adjuvant and antigen to enhance the immune response.
