Objective Glucocorticoid hormone may nongenomically affect cell functions in addition to its classic effects on gene expression. The purpose of present study was to explore whether dexamethasone, a synthetical glucocorticoid hormone, has a rapid nongenomic effect on ATP-induced currents in rat dorsal root ganglion (DRG) neurons and the related signal transduction pathway. Methods The effects of dexamethasone on ATP-induced currents were studied on cultured DRG neurons using patch clamp technique. Results Three types of currents (transient, sustained and biphasic) were evoked by ATP (100 ?mol/L) in cultured DRG neurons. When DRG neurons were pretreated with dexamethasone (0.01-10?mol/L) for 30s, inhibition of the transient current and the transient component of the biphasic current evoked by ATP in DRG neurons was observed. The inhibitory effect of dexamethasone was dose-dependent. However, dexamethasone did not seem to affect the sustained current and the sustained component of the biphasic current induced by ATP. The inhibitory effect of dexamethasone on ATP-induced currents was blocked by glucocorticoid receptor antagonist RU38486 (10?mol/L) and protein kinase A inhibitor H-89 (10?mol/L), but not by G protein inhibitor GDP-?-S (0.2mmol/L) and protein kinase C inhibitor chelerythrine chloride (10?mol/L). Conclusions Dexamethasone can selectively inhibit the transient current mediated by P2X3 receptors in DRG neurons. The inhibitory effect of dexamethasone might be mediated by glucocorticoid receptor through activating PKA signal pathway. These results suggest that glucocorticoid hormone might participate in the control of pain by modulating the actions of extracellular ATP in sensory neurons.

ObjectiveTo investigate the effect of heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1) on cyclin-dependent kinase 5 (CDK5)-ataxia telangiectasia mutated (ATM)-P53 signal transduction pathway in rat hippocampal neurons subjected to oxygen-glucose deprivation (OGD) injury.MethodsHippocampal neurons of newborn Wistar rats ( ＜ 48 h) were cultured for 7 days in vitro.The primary cultured neurons were randomly divided into 4 groups with 10 wells in each group:control group (group C),OGD (group D),OGD + hemin (HO-1 inducer) group (group D + H ) and OGD + hemin + zinc protoporphyrin ( HO-1 inhibitor) group ( group D + H + T).For OGD experiments,cultures were washed three times in a glucose-free balanced salt solution (BSS).They were then placed in deoxygenated glucose-free medium and sealed under 95％ N2-5％ CO2 in an anaerobic chamber equilibrated to 37°C and 100％ humidity for 45 min.OGD was terminated by replacement of stored medium and by returning the cultures to a standard incubator maintained at 37 ℃ in 95％ air-5％ CO2.The OGD model was established after the neurons were preconditioned with hemin 10 μmol/L for 24 h in group D + H.The OGD model was established after the neurons were preconditioned with hemin 10 μmol/L and zinc protoporphyrin 10 μmol/L for 24 h in group D + H + T.After 24 h of culture,the neuronal viability,apoptosis rate,and expression of HO-1 mRNA and protein,and CDK5,ATM and P53 protein were detected.ResultsCompared with group C,the expression of HO-1 mRNA,and HO-1,CDK5,ATM and P53 protein was up-regulated,the neuronal viability was significantly decreased,and the apoptosis rate was significantly increased in group D (P ＜ 0.01 ).Compared with group D,the expression of HO-1 mRNA and protein was up-regulated,the expression of CDK5,ATM and P53 protein was down-regulated,the neuronal viability was significantly increased,and the apoptosis rate was significanlly decreased in group D + H ( P ＜ 0.01 ).Compared with group D + H,the expression of HO-1 mRNA and protein was down-regulated,the expression of CDK5,ATM and P53 protein was up-regulated,the neuronal viability was significantly decreased,and the apoptosis rate was significantly increased in group D + H + T ( P ＜ 0.01 ).ConclusionHO-1 can inhibit neuronal apoptosis through blocking CDK5-ATM-P53 signal transduction pathway in rat hippocampal neurons subjected to OGD injury.

Objective To evaluate the value of pre-operative 99Tcm-MIBI SPECT/CT in patients with HPT by comparing with planar 99Tcm-MIBI and ultrasound imaging. Methods A total of 57 patients (9 males, 48 females; average age: (52.9±15.5) years) were enrolled into this retrospective study. They all underwent 99Tcm-MIBI planar scintigraphy, 99Tcm-MIBI SPECT/CT and ultrasound during March to October in 2016. All patients received parathyroidectomy and the surgical pathology was considered as the gold standard. The diagnostic efficiencies were compared using χ2 test. Results A total of 86 HPT lesions were confirmed, including 47 lesions in 46 PHPT patients and 39 lesions in 11 SHPT patients. The sensitivities of SPECT/CT, planar, ultrasound and combined imaging (planar plus ultrasound) were 87.21%(75/86), 69.77%(60/86), 65.12%(56/86) and 84.88%(73/86), respectively. The overall sensitivity of SPECT/CT was significantly higher than that of individual planar imaging and that of ultrasound (χ2 values: 4.691 and 7.818, both P<0.05), but similar to that of the combined imaging (χ2=0.044, P>0.05). No significant difference was observed among the specificities of all these modalities (χ2=2.219, P>0.05). For PHPT lesions, the sensitivities of SPECT/CT, planar imaging, combined imaging and ultrasound were 9574%(45/47), 93.62%(44/47), 97.87%(46/47) and 76.60%(36/47), respectively. No statistically significant difference was found in the sensitivity of the former 3 modalities (χ2=1.044, P>0.05), but the sensitivity of ultrasound was the lowest(χ2=16.223, P<0.05). For SHPT, the sensitivities of the corresponding 4 modalities were 76.92%(30/39), 41.03%(16/39), 51.28%(20/39) and 69.23%(27/39), respectively. SPECT/CT was significantly superior to planar imaging and ultrasound(χ2 values: 10.386 and 5.571, both P<0.05), but comparable to the combined imaging(χ2=0.586, P>0.05). Only SPECT/CT could accurately localize 5 ectopic HPT lesions. Conclusion Compared to planar imaging and ultrasound, SPECT/CT has higher sensitivity for SHPT patients, and could provide precise localization for ectopic lesions, thus facilitating patient planning for minimally invasive surgery.
