Objective To observe the morphological changes of mice cortex neuron cultured in vitro under different temperature, and the expression of skeleton protein (?-tubulin) in the neuron, and to study the relationship between ?-tubulin and heat shock protein 70 (HSP70). Methods The cerebral cortex neuron of embryonic mice was cultured in vitro. The cultured neuron was put in different temperature 7 days later. To observe the morphological changes of the neuron using optical microscope and the changes of the expression of ?-tubulin and HSP70 under different temperature using laser scanning confocal images. Results Optical microscopy indicated that drifting cells increased, and neural network became sparse in 38℃; some cells necrosed in 39℃; most cells necrosed, cell broke to pieces, axons drifted or disappeared in 42℃. Results of laser scanning confocal images indicated that after hyperthermia the fluorescence intensity of ?-tubulin was lower than that of controls, and the fluorescence intensity declined as the temperature elevated. The fluorescence intensity of HSP70 showed a bell-shape distribution curve, i.e. the highest value emerged at 39℃, whereas the lower values appeared at 37℃ and 42℃. Conclusion Heat stress leaded to the morphological changes of neuron. The disordered of skeleton protein may be responsible for the changes and HSP70 may take part in the process.

Objective To investigate the expression and clinical significance of silent mating type information regulation 2 homolog-1(SIRT-1)and nuclear factor-κB(NF-κB)in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Methods The expressions of SIRT-1 and NF-κB were evaluated by immunohistochemistry in 108 selected cases of primary NSCLC and 48 samples of para-carcinoma normal tissue. The relationships of the expressions of SIRT-1 and NF-κB and clinical pathological features were analyzed,respectively. Results Immunohistochemical results showed that the positive expression rates of SIRT-1 and NF-κB in NSCLC tissue were 90. 7%(98 / 108)and 94. 4%(102 / 108),respectively,significantly higher than those in normal lung tissue 4. 2%(2 / 48),16. 7%(8 / 48),χ2 = 108. 237,P = 0. 000;χ2 = 96. 683,P = 0. 000,and the expre-ssion of SIRT-1 and NF-κB showed a positive correlation(r = 0. 480,P = 0. 001). There were significant posi-tive correlations between the expression of SIRT-1 and tumor size(r = 0. 227,P = 0. 018),TNM stage(r =0. 298,P = 0. 002)and lymph node metastasis(r = 0. 280,P = 0. 003),and there was negative correlation between the expression of SIRT-1 and differentiation(r = - 0. 300,P = 0. 002),and there were no correlation between the expression of SIRT-1 and sex,age and histological type in NSCLC tissues. There were significant positive correlation between the expression of NF-κB and TNM stage(r = 0. 256,P = 0. 009)and lymph node metastasis(r = 0. 261,P = 0. 006),and there was negative correlation between the expression of NF-κB and differentiation(r = - 0. 235,P = 0. 013),and there were no correlation between the expression of NF-κB and sex,age,histological type and tumor size in NSCLC tissues. Conclusion The positive expression rates of SIRT-1 and NF-κB in NSCLC tissue are significantly higher than those in normal lung tissue,and they are rela-ted to TNM stage,lymph node metastasis and differentiation,and the former is also related to tumor size. High expression of SIRT-1 and NF-κB may play important roles in the occurrence and development of NSCLC.
