Objective:To investigate the impact of conditioned medium of decidual stromal cell culture(DSCM) on proliferation,apoptosis and invasion of trophoblast cells.Methods:lsolution,culturing and indentifying the purity of decidual stromal cells from healthy women of early pregnancy to prepare different concentrations of DSCM (5％,20％,50％ and 100％);Proliferation was evaluated by MTT assay;Cell apoptosis was examined by flow cytometry using annexin V-FITC/PI staining;Cell invasion was assayed using a Transwell chamber;RT-PCR and gelatin zymography were used to explore the mechanism of cell invasion.Results:Using this method we obtained a purity over 90％ of decidual stromal cells.With the concentration of DSCM increased(5％,20％,50％,100％),the OD value of the MTT assay has elevated and the rate of apoptosis declined,the infiltrating cell increased as well (P ＜ 0.05);Compared with control group,DSCM treatment led to a significant increase in the mRNA and protein expression of MMP-2/9(P ＜0.05).Conclusions:Decidual microenviroment may promote trophoblast proliferation and inhibite its apoptosis besides could enhance its ability of invasion by altering the expression of MMP-2 and MMP-9.

In order to investigate the effects of simvastatin on secretion and mRNA expression of interleukin-6 (IL-6) and adiponectin in 3T3-L1 adipocytes, mouse 3T3-L1 adipocytes were stimulated with lipopolysaccharide (LPS). Production and mRNA expression of IL-6 and adiponectin in 3T3-L1 adipocytes were measured using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) and reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR), respectively. The results showed that simvastatin could significantly suppress LPS-induced IL-6 production and mRNA expression in adipocytes (P<0.05), but increase the LPS-induced adiponectin secretion and mRNA expression in a dose-dependent manner (P<0.05). It was suggested that simvastatin could exert beneficial effects on prevention of obesity-induced metabolic changes in adipocytes.

Objective To generate the erythroid differentiation associated gene(EDAG) knockout mice and analyze their sensitivity to low dose radiation-induced damage.Methods Zinc finger nuclease technology ( ZFNs ) was used to produce the EDAG knockout mice.The low dose radiation-induced damage was evaluated by peripheral blood cell counts, DNA damage and colony formation of bone marrow cells.Wild-type and EDAG knockout mice were irradiated with 0.31 Gy/min X-ray, one minute per day for seven consecutive days, and the cumulative radiation dose was 2.17 Gy(n=7).The blood cell counts were measured by an automated hemocytometer.DNA damage was detected by immunofluorescence assay with a DNA damage marker p-H2A.x antibody (n=3).The colony formation ability of bone marrow cells was evaluated with a semi-solid culture medium(n=3).Results A model of EDAG knockout mice was established.Compared to wide type mice, white blood cell counts of EDAG knockout mice decreased significantly while the DNA damage marker p-H2A.x expression was increased on the third day after X-ray irradiation.The ability of colony-forming was reduced after 7 days of X-ray irradiation.Conclusion Our present study found that EDAG knockout mice are more sensitive to low dose radiation-induced damage as shown by decreased peripheral blood cells counts, reduced colony-forming ability of bone marrow cells, and increased DNA damage.These results suggest that EDAG knockout mice can serve as a powerful tool for evaluation of the biological effects of low-dose radiation damage.

Objective To study the mucosal and systemic immune response after intranasal immunization with mucosal complex vaccine for Toxoplasma gondii,and to observe the protective effect on mice. Methods The mucosal complex vaccine was made of soluble tachyzoite antigen (STAg) and cholera toxin (CT),which were mixed and dissolved in PBS (1 ml PBS containing 1 mg STAg and 50 ?g CT). Fifty-two BALB/c mice were randomly divided into two groups: immunized group and control. Mice were intranasally immunized with 20 ?l mucosal complex vaccine (20 ?g STAg and 1?g CT) per mouse twice at an interval of two weeks,while the control mice were given PBS solution instead. Six mice of each group were killed by dislocation of cervical vertebra on day 14 after the last immunization. The specific IgG antibodies in serum and IgA in feces were detected by ELISA. Lymphocytes in spleen,Peyer's patches (PP) and intestinal intraepithelial lymphocyte(IEL) were isolated and counted. Percentage of CD4+ and CD8+ T cells was determined by immunocytochemistry. Other mice were challenged intragastrically each with 4?104 tachyzoites of RH strain Toxoplasma gondii on day 14 after the last immunization. Their health condition was observed and the number of tachyzoites in liver and brain was determined microscopically on the 30 th day after challenge. Results IgG antibodies in serum and IgA antibodies in feces of immunized mice were higher than the control (P

Objective To observe dynamically the location and time of attachment and invasion of Toxoplasma gondii tachyzoites to murine intestinal mucosa by chromogenic in situ hybridization targeting SAG2 mRNA. Methods Thirty 7- to 8-week-old BALB/c mice were randomly divided into experiment group(24 mice)and control group(6 mice). Each animal in the experiment group was given 2?104 tachyzoites of RH stain in 0.2 ml PBS by intragastric administration and that in the control group was given 0.2 ml PBS. Four mice in the experiment group and one in the control group were sacrificed at 15 min,30 min,1 h,2 h,4 h and 8 h after infection,respectively,and paraffin sections of duodenum,jejunum and ileum were prepared to perform the in situ hybridization with Dig-labeled oligonucleotide probe complementary to SAG2 mRNA of T. gondii. Results Tachyzoites were found on the striated border of small intestine epithelial cells (absorptive cells,goblet cells and endocrine cells),in or between two absorptive cells or in the lamina propria. At 15 min-2 h after infection,there was significant difference in the number of attachment on jejunum and ileum (P
