Objective To verify whether miR-498 can inhibit A549 cell migration and invasion by down-regulating FOXM1.Methods miR-498 mimic and miR-NC were transfected into A549 cells.Wound healing and Transwell method were employed to test the migratory ability and invasion ability of A549 cells;Western blot was used to detect the expressions of COL1A1,COL1A5 and FOXM1 in A549 cells.Luciferase assay was used to confirm whether FOXM1 is the target gene of miR-498.Results Compared with those in the control group,the expressions of COL1A1,COL1A5 and FOXM1 were decreased,and the migration and invasion abilities of A549 cells were decreased in the miR-498 group (both P<0 .01 ).The luciferase activity of the FOXM1-3′-UTR plasmid was significantly suppressed by miR-498 (P<0 .05 );over-expression of FOXM1 could reverse the effect of miR-498 on A549 cells.Conclusion miR-498 inhibits A549 cell migration and invasion by down-regulating FOXM1.

Objective To investigate the effect of α-crystallin on the proliferation of rat retinal microglia after optic nerve injury. Methods The effect of α-crystallin on number and proliferation of microglia were analyzed by MTT assay.After the rat model with optic nerve injury was established,α-crystallin was iniected into vitreous cavity and the microglia cell number were counted and compared by retinal fiat counting and immunofluorescence labeling in different groups. Results The proliferation and activation of microglia cells could be stimulated by LPS at 10-6g/L to 10-2g/L.α-crystallin at 10-4g/L and 10-6g/L could inhibit proliferation and activation of microglia cells.Compared to BSA iniection group,α-crystallin could inhibit more significantly the number of microglia cells 1-3 weeks after injury (P＜0.05). Conclusions α-crystallin can inhibit proliferation and activation of retinal microglia and alleviate overphagocytosis and secondary damage of retinal microglia to retinal ganglion cells(RGCs),which may be another mechanism that α-crystallin contributes to indirect protection of RGCs.

Objective:To explore the effects of Bufalin on the growth and proliferation of human glioma cells U251. Methods:Methyl thiazolyl tetrazolium(MTT)assay was used to detect the effect of Bufalin on the proliferation of human glioma cells U251. An in-verted microscope was used to observe the changes of cell number,morphology and activity. AnnexinV/ PI was used to measure the in-duction of cell apoptosis caused by Bufalin. Results:Bufalin at different concentrations(0. 001 - 10. 0μmol·L - 1 )inhibited the pro-liferation of U251 cells in a dose and time-dependent manner.

Objective:To determine the role and mechanism of tranilast preventing the progression of tubulointerstilial ifbrosis in diabetic kidney disease (DKD).
Methods:Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly divided into a control group (n=6), DKD model group (n=8), low dose tranilast group [200 mg/(kg.d), n=8], and high dose tranilast group [400 mg/(kg.d), n=8]. Tranilast was administered daily after the model was built. Rats were sacrificed at day 56, 24 hour urine was collected to measure 24-hour urine albumin excretion, and blood was collected to determine the renal function and serum albumin. Then the kidneys were harvested and subjected to studies. The expression of C3aR, E-cadherin,α-SMA, fibronectin(FN), collagen I (Col I), stem cell factor (SCF) and c-kit were detected by immunohistochemical staining respectively. The expression of E-cadherin,α-SMA, FN, Col I, SCF and c-kit protein was analyzed by Western blot, and the expression of FN, Col I, SCF and c-kit mRNA was examined by RT-PCR. Results:Tranilast can inhibit the inifltration of mast cells in the kidneys of DKD rats. The expression ofα-SMA in the kidneys of DKD rats inereased signiifcantly (P<0.05), while the expression of E-cadherin decreased (P<0.05). Tranilast increased the expression of E-cadherin and decreased the expression ofα-SMA in the prophase of DKD dose dependently. The expressions of FN and Col I were increased in the tubulointerstitial ifelds in DKD model rats (P<0.05). After the tranilast treatment, these changes were relieved to a certein degree (P<0.05). The expression of SCF and c-kit in the tubular and interstitial tissue was slight. The increased expressions of SCF and c-kit protein and mRNA in DKD model rats were downregulated by tranilat (P<0.05). The expressions of SCF and c-kit were positively correlated with the infiltration degree of mast cells and the expressions of FN, Col I.
Conclusion:Mast cells participate in and aggravate the renal tubulointerstitial fibrosis in DKD rats. Tranilast can reverse the EMT of renal tubular cells and inhibit the tubulointersitial fibrosis of DKD by blocking the inifltration of mast cells induced by SCF/c-kit pathway.

China still has more than 30,000 patients of advanced schistosomiasis while new cases being reported consistently. D-dimer is a fibrin degradation product. As ascites being the dominating symptom in advanced schistosomiasis, the present study aimed to explore a prediction model of ascites with D-dimer and other clinical easy-achievable indicators. A case-control study nested in a prospective cohort was conducted in schistosomiasis-endemic area of southern China. A total of 291 patients of advanced schistosomiasis were first investigated in 2013 and further followed in 2014. Information on clinical history, physical examination, and abdominal ultrasonography, including the symptom of ascites was repeatedly collected. Result showed 44 patients having ascites. Most of the patients' ascites were confined in the kidney area with median area of 20 mm². The level of plasma D-dimer and pertinent liver function indicators were measured at the initial investigation in 2013. Compared with those without ascites, cases with ascites had significantly higher levels of D-dimer (0.71±2.44 μg/L vs 0.48±2.12 μg/L, P=0.005), as well ALB (44.5 vs 46.2, g/L) and Type IV collagen (50.04 vs 44.50 μg/L). Receiver operating characteristic curve analyses indicated a moderate predictive value of D-dimer by its own area under curve (AUC) of 0.64 (95% CI: 0.54–0.73) and the cutoff value as 0.81 μg/L. Dichotomized by the cutoff level, D-dimer along with other categorical variables generated a prediction model with AUC of 0.76 (95% CI: 0.68–0.89). Risks of patients with specific characteristics in the prediction model were summarized. Our study suggests that the plasma D-dimer level is a reliable predictor for incident ascites in advanced schistosomiasis japonica patients.
