AIM: To explore whether the administration of rhG-CSF improve the neurological function after focal cerebral ischemia and observe the expression of fibronectin. METHODS: Injection of 10 ?g?kg -1?d -1 rhG-CSF for 5 days was given subcutaneously to rats undergoing middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO). Neurological severity scores (NSS) test was performed. The expression of fibronectin and Brdu were observed by immunohistochemistry. To visualize the cellular colocalization of Brdu and fibronectin, glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP) and fibronectin, double fluorescent staining were used. RESULTS: ① NSS at 7th day, 14th day and 21th day of groups undergoing MCAO treated with rhG-CSF were 4.00?0.89, 3.83?1.17, 3.50?1.38, respectively. NSS at 7th day, 14th day and 21th day of the control groups undergoing MCAO were 5.50?1.38, 5.83?1.47,5.66?1.63, respectively. NSS of the treated groups were significantly lower than that of the control groups (P

BACKGROUND:Mesenchymal stem cel s-released factors can form a microenvironment inhibiting malignant tumor cel proliferation, and moreover, salinomycin also inhibits the growth of tumor cel s. OBJECTIVE:To explore the effect of salinomycin with umbilical cord blood mesenchymal stem cel s in breast cancer MCF-7 cel s and its action mechanism, in order to seek a new target and therapeutic strategy to treat breast cancer. METHODS:Logarithmically growing MCF-7 cells were randomly divided into control, umbilical cord blood mesenchymal stem cell group and combination group. Cells in the control group were given no treatment, while those in the other two groups were given umbilical cord blood mesenchymal stem cell suspension or umbilical cord blood mesenchymal stem cell suspension combined with salinomycin, respectively. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Forty-eight hours after the intervention, the proliferation and invasion of MCF-7 cel s and expression of POSTN protein in cel s were significantly reduced in the combination group compared with the other two groups. These findings indicate that the combination of umbilical cord blood mesenchymal stem cel suspension and salinomycin effectively reduces the proliferation and migration of MCF-7 cel s, and this combined use provides a new insight into the treatment of breast cancer.

Objective To investigate the relationship between IL‐10 SNPs and breast cancer susceptibility .Methods Collect‐ed 156 blood samples of breast cancer patients as case group and 156 blood samples of health as control .Genotype SNPs of IL‐10‐592 ,‐1082 were analyzed by genomic DNA extraction ,PCR amplification and TOF mass spectrometry .The data was used by statis‐tical analysis .Results IL‐10‐592 C/C ,C/A and A/A site the genotype frequencies were not diversity between two groups(χ2 =3 .26 ,P>0 .05) .IL‐10‐1082 G/G、G/A、A/A site the genotype frequencies were statistically significant between two groups(χ2 =14 .07 ,P<0 .01) .In Logistic multivariate regression analysis found that :be compared with IL‐10‐592 A/A ,carrying IL‐10‐592 C/A ,C/C group respectively the risk of breast cancer were OR=1 .039(95% CI:0 .484 -2 .233) ,P=0 .922 ,OR= 1 .635(95% CI:0 .683-3 .915) ,P =0 .270 ,which had no statistical significance .In Logistic multivariate regression analysis found that :be com‐pared with IL‐10‐1082 A/A ,carrying IL‐10‐1082 G/A、G/G group respectively the risk of breast cancer were OR=0 .424(95% CI:0 .210-0 .855) ,P=0 .016 ,OR=0 .455(95% CI:0 .178 -1 .163) ,P= 0 .100 .Conclusion IL‐10‐592 may be not associated with breast cancer susceptibility .IL‐10‐1082 G/A may be a protection factor with breast cancer susceptibility .

Objective To study the association between the single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) of SEPT14 (rs77231105,rs10241628,rs11981883,rs73701167) and sporadic PD in Chinese Han populationin of Southwest Shandong.Methods One hundred and eighty PD patients from Southwest Shandong served as PD patient group and 200 healthy subjects from Southwest Shandong served as control group in this study.The distribution frequencies of alleles and genotypes in SNP of rs77231105,rs10241628,rs11981883 and rs73701167 were compared by PCR and sequencing respectively.Results No significant difference was found in the distribution frequencies of alleles and genotypes in rs77231105,rs10241628,rs11981883 between the two groups (P＞0.05).The distribution frequency of rs73701167 was significantly higher in PD patient group than in control group (31.1％ vs 20.5％,OR=1.75,95％CI=1.261-2.428,P=0.001).Conclusion The SNP of SEPT14 rs77231105,rs10241628 and rs1198188 are not associated with PD,the SNP of rs73701167 is associated with PD in Chinese Han population of Southwest Shandong.The allele C is a risk factor for PD.

Objective To investigate the expression of ferroptosis-related proteins in the hippocampus in AD mice. Methods AD mice were created by knocking in PSEN1 p.G378E gene in C57BL/6 mice. The expression of ferroptosis-related proteins, glutathione peroxidase 4 (GPX4), cystine-glutamate exchanger (SLC7A11), long-chain fattyacyl-CoA synthetase 4 (ACSL4) and phosphatidylethanolamine-binding protein1 (PEBP1) in the hippocampus were compared among PSEN1 p.G378E-/-、 PSEN1 p.G378E-/+and WT mice. Results The expression levels of GPX4, PEBP1, SLC7A11 and ACSL4 proteins in the hippocampus were significantly increased in PSEN1 p.G378E-/-mice than in either PSEN1 p.G378E-/+or WT mice (P<0.05). Meanwhile, the expression levels of GPX4 and PSEN1 proteins were higher in PSEN1 p.G378E-/+mice than in WT mice (P<0.05). However, there were no significant differences in expression levels of SLC7A11 and ACSL4 proteins between PSEN1 p.G378E-/+mice and WT mice (P>0.05). Conclusion Expression levels of ferroptosis-related proteins are significantly increased in the hippocampus of PSEN1 p.G378E knock-in mice.
