BACKGROUND: There are plenty of studies of estrogen effects on mammalian osteoblast, but the studies of estrogen effects on bird osteoblast cannot be found. There are many reports about the side effects of letrozole on bone metabolism, but there are no reports about the effect of letrozole on osteoblast.OBJECTIVE: The effects of estrogen and letrozole on the proliferation, cell cycle, estrogen receptor mRNA expression and alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activity of chicken osteoblast in vitro were studied in order to illustrate the mechanism of medullary bone osteogenesis.METHODS: The osteoblasts were harvested from the frontal bone of 15-day SPF chicken embryos by the enzyme digestion, and treated with various mass concentrations of estrogen (0, 5, 10, 20, 100. 200, 400,800, 2 000, 20 000 ng/L) and letrozole (0, 5.10, 25, 50, 100, 250, 500, 1 000, 5 000 μg/L). The proliferation rates of the osteoblast treated with estrogen or letrozole were measured through the MTT method, The ALP activities of osteoblast were measured by the pNPP method. The cell cycle was measured by flow cytometry. The expression of estrogen receptor mRNA was detected using real-time fluorescent quantitative polymerase chain reaction (PCR).RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: The estrogen could promote proliferation of osteoblast in concentration- and time-dependent fashion. Estrogen could increase the expression of estrogen receptor mRNA, impulse cell cycle, and elevate ALP activities.Letrozole could increase the cell population, impulse cell cycle, inhibit estrogen receptor mRNA expression, but letrozole has no effects on ALP synthesis and secretion.

Objective To elucidate the function way of micro RNA(miR)-155 in the differentiation of Th17 cells.Methods CD4+T cells were separated from mice spleens using MACS CD4+T cells separatinge kit and cultured with interleukins [interleukin (IL)-2, IL-23 and IL-6] which could induce CD4+ T cells differentiate into Th17 cells.IL-17 was detected by flow cytometry and enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) after transfected with miR-155 mimics or inhibitor lentiviral vectors.The expression levels of miR-155, IL-17A mRNA and Ets-1 mRNA were detected using fluorescent quantitation real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR).The si-Ets and miR-155 co-function for Th17 differentiation was analyzed.Data analysis was perfoemed using one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) test and Dunnett test for pair-wise comparison and t test.P<0.05 was considered to be statistically significant.Results The CD4+T cells were divided into four groups (the untreated control untreat group, the treatment control treat group, the miR-155 mimnics group and miR-155 inhibitor group).IL-17 was scarcely expressed and secreted in the untreated control untreat group.The cells expression of IL-17 were significantly different among the four groups (F=160.549, P<0.01).The cells expressing of IL-17 were higher in the miR-155 mimics group (39.86±4.62)% than those at the miR-155 inhibitor group (22.02±2.81)%, P<0.01) and in the treated control treat group [(19.44±1.49)%, P<0.01].The level of IL-17 was also significantly different among the four groups (F=260.813, P<0.01).The level of IL-17 was higher in the miR-155 mimics group [(1 509±136) pg/ml] than that in the miR-155 inhibitor group [(923± 42) pg/ml, P<0.01);and in the treated control group [(767±94) pg/ml, P<0.01).The expression of miR-155 (12.53±0.80 vs 1.78±0.14, 7.16±0.62, 6.47±0.92, P<0.01) and IL-17A mRNA (46.55±6.71 vs 1.01±0.19,15.62±1.26, 14.20±2.73, P<0.01) was significantly higher than that in the other three groups, while the expression of Ets-1 mRNA was significantly lower (0.66±0.10 vs 1.19±0.04, 1.01±0.16, 1.37±0.27, P<0.01).si-Ets-2 was screened because it markedly inhibited the expression of Ets-1 mRNA among the three designed siRNAs.The expression of IL-17A mRNA was higher (17.19±3.58 vs 10.08±0.76, t=-3.361, P=0.028) and the expression of Ets-1 mRNA was lower (0.27±0.01 vs 0.74±0.03, t=-30.275, P<0.01) in si-Ets-2 group than that in si-Con group when si-Ets-2 or si-Con was co-transfected with miR-155 mimics or inhibitor lentiviral vectors.The expression of Ets-1 protein was lower in si-Ets-2 group than that in si-Con group by Western blotting and the decrease was markedly obvious in the miR-155 mimics group.Conclusion miR-155 can induce CD4+T cells to differentiate into Th17 cells by inhibiting the gene expression of Ets-1.

Objective To develop a phenylketonuria (PKU) screening method based on a compact disk (CD) type microfluidic chip capable of generating reciprocating flow within the microchannels that facilitate rapid DNA hybridization. Methods This microfluidic device consists of a two-layer structure: a polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) top layer containing 12 DNA hybridization microchannels, and a bottom glass layer with immobilized hydrogel conjugated DNA arrays. The DNA arrays included R243Q, V245V and the blank control probes. When the CD device was spun, the PCR products were driven into the hybridization channel by centrifugal force. When the rotation of the CD device was stopped, capillary force pulled the PCR products solution to flow back to the channel. After the on-chip hybridization, the hybridization signals were captured on a fluorescence microscope. The specificity, detection limitation and reproducibility of this device were evaluated. Thirty DNA samples from pregnant women with suspected PKU were detected by this device.Then the results were compared with DNA sequencing results. Results With the compact disk type microfluidic chip, the hybridization time could be reduced to 15 min, sample consume could be as low as 1. 5 μl and the detection limitation was 0. 7 ng/μl. With the chip based method, samples of PKU patients and healthy controls were detected and the results were consistent with DNA sequencing results. Five different batches of chips and five micro-channels of each chip were selected to test one PKU patients with V245V mutation. All the results were positive, indicating good reproducibility. Four cases of V245V mutation and 1 case of R243Q mutation were found in 30 suspected PKU carried pregnant women. Conclusion The compact disk microfluidic device has advantages of simple, rapid and highly sensitive, thus is well suited to PKU screening.
