BACKGROUND:How to control the orderly formation of colage in skin repair and scarring process is worthy of attention. OBJECTIVE: To investigate the effect of basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF) combined with insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF-1) on the proliferation and colagen synthesis of rat bone marrow mesenchymal stem celsin vitro. METHODS:Rat bone marrow mesenchymal stem cels were isolated and cultured to induce adipogenic differentiation assessed by oil red O staining and osteogenic differentiation identified by alizarin red stainingin vitro. Passage 3 cels were cultured in the medium containing bFGF, IGF-1, combination of them or the control fluid, respectively. MTT assay was used to detect cel proliferation at 12, 24, 48, 72 and 96 hours of culture. The expression of type I colagen and type III colagen were detected by RT-PCR and western blot after 10 days of incubation. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Compared with the control group, bFGF or IGF-1 alone significantly promoted the proliferation of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cels, and inhibited the expression of type I colagen and type III colagen. After combined use of bFGF and IGF-1, the proliferation of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cels was improved more significantly, and the expression of type I colagen and type III colagen returned to normal levels. These findings indicate that the combination of IGF-1 and bFGF can promote proliferation of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cels and restrain the expression of type I colagen and type III colagen, which may be helpful for control and repair of scar formation during wound healing.

Objective To investigate the expression of EGFR, Her-2 and TOPO Ⅱ in esophageal canceration course, analyze the correlation between the expression and clinical pathological parameters and the correlation of the three genes. Methods EGFR, Her-2 and TOPO Ⅱ were detected by Tissue microarray technology and Envision immunohistochemistry method in 107 cases of esophageal carcinoma, including normal esophageal epithelium, esophageal intraepithelial neoplasia and esophageal squamous cell carcinoma. Results The positive expression rates of EGFR and TOPO Ⅱ display an improving trend from normal esophageal epithelium, intraepithelial neoplasia to carcinoma (P =0.031) in the above four groups. The positive expression rates of EGFR were 8.41 %, 7.94 %, 27.27 %, 50.47 %, and TOPO Ⅱ were 3.74 %, 4.76 %, 20.45 %, 43.93 %. Furthermore, the expression showed gradually incresing with histological grades advance (P =0.009). There was no correlation between EGFR or TOPO Ⅱ and gender, age, lymph node or distant metastasis (P >0.05). There was a positive correlation between EGFR and TOPO Ⅱ (r 1=0.410, P <0.05). There were no significance of Her-2 protein expression among the three groups(P >0.05), no correlation was obtained between Her-2 and gender, age, the depth of invasion or lymph node metastasis (P >0.05), no relationship between Her-2 and EGFR or TOPO Ⅱ either. Conclusion EGFR and TOPO Ⅱ are closely related to the occurrence and development of esophageal squamous cell carcinoma, their expressions all make a qualitative change in the esophageal high-grade intraepithelial neoplasia. The role of Her-2 in the development of esophageal squamous cell carcinoma is still not definite in Shanxi province.
