1.Exosomes and ischemic stroke
International Journal of Cerebrovascular Diseases 2017;25(6):546-549
Exosomes are small membrane vesicles approximately 40-100 nm in diameter released by a variety of cell types.Exosomes contain proteins, lipids, mRNA and microRNA, and play important roles in intercellular communication.This article reviews the sources, general features and biological function of exosomes, as well as its possible role and mechanism in the pathophysiology and neurological recovery of ischemic stroke.

Objective To study the histocompatibility of tissue engineered skin with the observation of the effects of selectins E and P on the immunological rejection after skin allograft in rats. Methods Tissue engineered skin was prepared as follows: The materials obtained from the neonatal SD rats were cultured and then grafted onto the adult Wistar rats. The expression of selectins E and P in the grafted skin was determined with immunohistochemical staining. Results The expression of selectins E and P was significantly higher in the rats with allograft than in the rats with the grafts of tissue-engineered material. Conclusion Selectins E and P play an important role in the immunological rejection after allograft of skin but the tissue-engineered skin graft possesses favorable histocompatibility and shows no obvious immunological rejection.

Objective To investigate the expression and relationship between hepatocyte cell adhesion molecule (hepaCAM) protein and some multidrug resistance proteins in renal carcinoma tissue.Methods Expressions of hepaCAM,multidrug resistance associated protein (MRP),P-glycoprotein (P-gp),lung resistance protein (LRP),and topoisomerase Ⅱ (TOPO Ⅱ) protein were detected by immunohistochemistry in different areas of human renal cell carcinoma tissues and their relationships were analyzed.Results In the peripheral zone of renal tumor,hepaCAM,MRP,P-gp and LRP protein were showed positive expression.In the central region of the renal tumor,the expressions of hepaCAM,P-gp and LRP were negative or weakly positive,while the expressions of MRP and TOPO Ⅱ protein were positive.The expressions of MRP and TOPO Ⅱ protein in the central region of tumor were stronger than those in the peripheral zone of tunor (31.23 ±5.67 vs.23.89 ±4.56;45.66 ±2.34 vs.5.23 ±0.66),with statistically significant differences (t =-6.20,P =0.00;t =-100.16,P =0.00).While the expressions of other proteins (hepaCAM,P-gp and LRP) in the central region of tumor were weaker than those in the peripheral zone of tumor (3.21 ±1.12 vs.27.25±2.23;2.34±0.33 vs.51.23±3.45;4.22±1.78 vs.44.23 ± 1.45),with statistically significant differences (t =60.87,P =0.00;t =90.35,P =0.00;t =107.18,P =0.00).Correlation analysis showed that the expression of hepaCAM protein in the central region of renal carcinoma was related with the expression of MRP protein (r =0.94,P =0.01),but it was not related with the expressions of P-gp,LRP and TOPO Ⅱ protein (r=0.22,P=0.44;r=0.14,P=0.80;r=0.34,P=0.07).Conclusion The expression of hepaCAM protein in renal carcinoma may be related to tumor drug-resistance.

BACKGROUND:Basic research demonstrated that type Ⅰ collagen exhibited prominent effect on osteogenesis,bone mass and bone fracture,which also participated in the bone fusion.However,few reports concerning the polymorphism of type Ⅰ collagen gene and spinal fusion.OBJECTIVE:To investigate the polymorphism of type Ⅰ collagen and to explore its relationship with the spinal fusion rate following metal implant or autogenous bone transplantation.METHODS:A total of 200 volunteers who need to receive spinal fusion in the Affiliated Hospital of Qingdao University Medical College were selected,including 102 cases received anterior cervical subcorpectomy combined with lilac bone implantation fusion following decompression,and 98 cases received posterior laminectomy for decompression combined with intertransverse process fusion.Meantime,223 normal adults were served as the control group.The peripheral blood was drawn-off and genomic DNA was extracted from white blood cells.The specific fragment which includes the objective gene was amplified by polymerase chain reaction (PCR),with length of 293 bp.The genotypes of Pcol2 site in type Ⅰ collagen were detected by PCR-restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP) method.The PCR product was digested with restriction endonuclease Eco311 and the result was observed by agarose gel electrophoresis.The G gene represented for the presence of the restriction endonuclease site,while the T gene for the absence of the restriction endonuclease site.The fusion rate of the bone graft was evaluated by x-ray film prior to and at months 3,6 and 12 after operation,and the results were compared by stages including quick (<3 months),middle (3-6 months) and slow (6-12 months).RESULT AND CONCLUSION:There were the-1997G/T polymorphisms of the type Ⅰ collagen gene in 423 cases,including 166cases with GG,232 cases with GT,and 25 cases with TT,in addition,there was some correlation between the GG genotype and the lilac bone implantation fusion (P =0.004).The GG genotype accounted for 50% in the fast group,which was obviously greater than that of the middle and slow groups (33.3% and 16.7%,respectively).However,the-1997G/T polymorphisms had no correlation with the bone graft fusions inter transverse process of lumbar vertebra (P=0.831).The GG genotype in the-1997G/T polymophsim of the type Ⅰ collagen gene may be the essential factor which can promote the C-spine auto-ilium graft fusion.

Objective To investigate effect of transforming growth factor β3(TGFβ3)on expression of MMP-9,MMP-2,TIMP-1 and collagen I in rats with liver fibrosis through transduction by recombinant adeno-associated virus 2(rAAV2).Methods Rats were randomly divided into 4 groups:normal control group,model group,negative control group and TGFβ3 group.Liver fibrosis model was induced by hypodermic injection of 40% CCl4.rAAV2-TGFβ3,was injected via vena caudalis of the rats one week before CCl4 Was given.All rats were sacrificed and the liver tissues were taken 8 weeks afler injection of CCl4.The histopathological changes were observed on HE sections;the expressions of MMP-9,MMP-2,TIMP-1 and collagen I were examined by histochemistry and the positive area rates were semi-quantitatively analyzed.Results Compared with the model group and negative control group,the decreases of inflammatory infiltration and collagen fibers hyperplasia were observed in the TGFβ3 group,and the expression of MMP-9 increased(q=23.664,27.746,P<0.01),the expression of collagen I(q=5.503,5.251,P<0.01)and TIMP-1(q=5.800,8.608,P<0.01)decreased,but that of MMP-2 was not changed(q=2.1 08,0.996,P>0.05).Conclusion rAAV2-TGFβ3 can reduce the histological damage and degree of liver fibrosis in rats by inhibiting expression of TIMP-1 and collagen I,and upregulating expression of MMP-9.

Objective To investigate the influence of Cordyceps polysaceharide (Cp) on epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EMT) induced by transforming growth factor-β1 (TGF-β1)in proximal tubular epithelial cells (PTEC). Methods HK-2 cell proliferation was determined by MTT assay. After incubation of HK2 cells with increasing concentrations of TGF-β1 (0, 0.1, 0.5, 1, 5, 10 μg/L) at 48 h and with TGF-β1 (5 μ/L) at different time points, E-cadherin, α-SMA, FN expression at transcriptional and protein levels were detected by real-time PCR and Western blotting respectively. The cells were pretreated with 1,5, 10 g/L Cp respectively for 24 h before adding TGF-β1 (5μg/L), then the cells were incubated for additional 48 h, mRNA and proteinexpression of above 3 cytokines was examined by real-time PCR and Western blotting as well. Results CP alone (0.01, 0.1, 1,5, 10 g/L) induced HK-2 cell proliferation in a dose-dependent manner. TGF-β1 enhanced α-SMA, FN expression while inhibited E-cedherin expression at both transcriptional and" protein level in HK-2 cell. At transcriptional level, compared to single TGF-β1 (5 μg/L) stimulating group, after Cp (1,5, 10 g/L) pretreatment for 24 h, the inhibition rate of a-SMA mRNA was 37.98%, 68.08% and 84.36%, respectively; FN mRNA was 46.97%, 63.82% and 81.85%, respectively; E-cadherin was up-regulated by 0.67 fold, 2.69 folds and 5.43 folds, respectively (P<0.05). At protein level, the inhibition rate of α-SMA was 33.40%, 47.75% and 68.50%, respectively; FN was 16.26%, 65.92% and 80.30%, respectively; E-cadherin was up-regulated by 1.33 folds, 3.19 folds and 4.29 folds, respectively (all P<0.05). Under Light microscopy, the Cp reversed cell shape from spindle-shape induced by TGF-β1 to nearly normal shape. Conclusion Cp may exert its inhibitive effects on TGF-β1-induced EMT.
