Objective To investigate the effects of angiotensin Ⅱ (Ang Ⅱ ) and angiotensin Ⅱ type 1 receptor antagonist (AT1RA) on the transforming growth factor-β1 (TGF-β1) synthesis and tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinase-1 (TIMP-1) mRNA expression of in vitro cultured hepatic stellate cells (HSCs). Methods HSC-T6 rat hepatic stellate cell line was selected as the study model of the activated hepatic stellate cells. Cultured HSCs were randomized into control group, Ang Ⅱ group, AT1RA group and Ang Ⅱ AT1RA group. Cell culture medium was used to detect the TGF-β1 level by ELISA method. HSCs were harvested to measure the TIMP-1 mRNA expression by RT-PCR. Results TGF-β1 level of control group, Ang Ⅱ group and AngⅡ AT1RA group in cell culture medium was (7.531 ±0. 654) pg/mL, (9. 855± 1. 485)pg/mL and (7.719 ± 0.329) pg/mL respectively, Ang Ⅱ group higher than control group (P ＜ 0.05 ), Ang Ⅱ AT1RA group lower than Ang Ⅱ group (P ＜ 0. 05 ). TIMP-1 mRNA expression level of control group, Ang Ⅱ group and Ang Ⅱ AT1RA group in HSCs was 3. 387 ± 0. 042, 4.870 ± 0.061 and 3. 837 ± 0. 042 respectively, Ang Ⅱ group higher than control group ( P ＜ 0. 05 ), Ang Ⅱ AT1RA group lower than Ang Ⅱ group (P ＜ 0. 05). Conclusion AngiotensinⅡ can increase the TGF-β1 synthesis and TIMP-1 mRNA expression of hepatic stellate cells, while all these effects are inhibited by angiotensinⅡ type 1 receptor antagonist.

[ ABSTRACT] AIM:To study the influence of insulin resistance on fatty liver in the mice fed with high-fat diet (HFD).METHODS:Male 8-week-old C57BL/6J mice were randomly divided into HFD group (with 60% calories by high saturated fatty acid) and control group (with chow diet).The mice in both groups were fed for 12 weeks.The body weight, liver weight, serum triglyceride (TG) and total cholesterol (TC), and blood glucose and insulin levels were meas-ured.Hyperinsulinemic euglycemic clamp experiment was applied to reflect insulin sensitivity .The lipid deposition in the liver was analyzed by HE staining , Sudan IV staining and measurement of liver fat content .The phosphorylation levels of IRS1 and Akt, and the protein levels of SREBP-1 and FAS were determined by Western blot to reflect the activities of insu-lin signaling and lipid synthesis .RESULTS:Compared with control group , the body weight and liver weight were signifi-cantly increased in HFD group .TG and TC contents in serum and liver tissues were remarkably increased in HFD group . High-fat diet induced insulin resistance , as evidenced by increased serum insulin levels , reduced glucose infusion rate and decreases in IRS1 and Akt phosphorylation levels .In livers of HFD group, HE staining showed that the cytoplasm of hepa-tocytes was filled with vacuoles .Sudan IV staining also displayed that many different sizes of red lipid drops existed in the hepatocytes , and the protein levels of SREBP-1 and FAS were significantly increased .In primary normal hepatocytes with exogenous oleic acid intervention for 48 h, the phosphorylation levels of IRS 1 and Akt were reduced , and the protein ex-pression of SREBP-1 and FAS was significantly increased in a dose-dependent manner .CONCLUSION: Feeding with HFD leads to insulin resistance , resulting in activation of lipid synthesis and accumulation of lipid deposition in the liver , thus inducing fatty liver .

BACKGROUND: Kidney ischemia-reperfusion injury often combines with acute kidney and lung injury. The expression of cutin cel growth factor receptor (KGFR) and alpha sodiumchannel protein (α-ENaC) in kidney and lung after ischemia-reperfusion injury and the protective effect of α-melanocyte require further observation and research. OBJECTIVE:To explore the therapeutic effect of α-melanocyte on the expressions of KGFR and α-ENaC in rat models of ischemia-reperfusion injury. METHODS:A total of 30 healthy male Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly divided into control group, ischemia-reperfusion group and α-MSH group. Models of renal ischemia-reperfusion injury were established by 30-minute ligation of renal artery in the ischemia-reperfusion and α-melanocyte groups. Rats in the control group were only used to expose the renal artery, no ligation. Rats in the α-melanocyte group were intraperitonealy injected with α-melanocyte (0.25 mg/kg) at 30 minutes before model establishment. Rats in the ischemia-reperfusion group were injected with 4 mL of physiological saline. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: Compared with control group, water content of kidney and lung increased significantly in rats of ischemia-reperfusion group and a-MSH group, while the levels of KGFR and α-ENaC of kidney and lung in rats were lower (P < 0.05). Compared with the ischemia-reperfusion group, water content of kidney and lung in rats of a-MSH group decreased significantly, while the levels of KGFR and α-ENaC of kidney and lung increased gradualy (P < 0.05). Moreover, edema was significantly lessened in the rat kidney and lung. Results confirmed that after renal ischemia-reperfusion injury, KGFR and α-ENaC expression was consistent to the kidney and lung injury. α-MSH could increase the protein and mRNA expression of KGFR and α-ENaC in kidney and lung of rats, reduce the kidney and lung injury, and exert a certain protective effect.

Objective: To observe the effect of oxymatrine ointment on chronic eczema in mice, and preliminarily explore the mechanism. Methods:Thirty-two Kunming mice were randomly divided into four groups including oxymatrine ointment group, blank model group, blank ointment group and positive drug group treated with compound dexamethasone acetate cream. Eczema skin was con-tinuously treated with drugs for 14 days. The mice were sacrificed on the 15th day, and the eczema skin was clipped from back to make histological sections. The changes of inflammation were observed, and the inflammatory cell count was obtained. Meanwhile, heart blood was collected, and serum was obtained by centrifugation. The serum levels of IL-4 and IL-1β were determined by ELISA. Re-sults:The inflammatory cell count in oxymatrine ointment group and the positive drug group was lower than that in the blank model group and the blank ointment group (P<0. 05). The pathology results showed that oxymatrine ointment could improve chronic eczema symptoms, reduce the inflammatory cell infiltration and decrease edema, which was similar to the effects of compound dexamethasone acetate cream. In the respect of molecular immunology, the IL-4 and IL-1βlevels in serum showed no significant changes in oxymatrine ointment group (P>0. 05). Conclusion: Oxymatrine ointment has certain anti-inflammatory effect on eczema, and the mechanism needs to be studied further.
