OBJECTIVE: To study the correlation between the stromal cell-derived factor (SDF-1) and the receptor fusin (CXCR4) in carcinoma of larynx, and investigate some mechanisms of SDF-1/CXCR4 during the development, invasion and lymph node metastasis of laryngocarcinoma. METHOD: Detecting the expression of SDF-1 and CXCR4 by immunohistochemical method (SP) in laryngocarcinoma, paraneoplastic tissues, normal laryngeal mucosa and cervical lymph node. Using Kruskal-Wallis H test, chi2 test, Spearman rank correlation analysis and so on to do statistical analysis. RESULT: The positive expression rate of SDF-1 and CXCR4 in laryngocarcinoma was obviously higher than in paraneoplastic tissues and normal laryngeal mucosa tissues (P < 0.01). And the expression of two proteins was correlated with lymph node metastasis (P < 0.01), clinical stage (P < 0.01) and pathological grading of tumor (P < 0.05). The positive expression rate of SDF-1 and CXCR4 protein in metastasis lymph node tissue was higher than that in non metastasis lymph node tissue (P < 0.01). The expression of SDF-1 is correlated positively with the expression of CXCR4 in laryngocarcinoma. CONCLUSION SDF-1 and CXCR4 protein are highly expressed in laryngocarcinoma and in metastasis lymph node tissue. And they are correlated with lymph node metastasis, clinical stage and pathological grading of the tumor. According to the results, the two proteins may relate to infiltration and metastasis of laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma and play a role of synergistic action in the development and invasion of carcinoma of larynx.

Using mutation PCR, we cloned the target gene containing 421-480nt (141-160aa) and 598-639nt (200-213aa) of VP1 gene of foot and mouth disease virus (FMDV) into the deleted region (508-532aa) of Nsp2 gene of a highly pathogenic porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus derived vaccine strain (HuN4-F112) that was used as vector. The recombinant cDNA was in vitro transcribed followed by transfection of BHK-21 cells for 36 h. Then, the supernatant of the cell culture was continuously seeded to monolayer of MARC-145 cells for recovery of the recombinant virus. CPE was obviously visible after a couple of passages in the seeded MARC-145, and the rescued virus (designated as rPRRSV-F112-O/VP1ep) was identified by Mlu I digestion, sequencing and immunofluorescence assay. Meanwhile, expression of inserted FMDV epitopes was also detected by indirect immunofluorescence assay with polyclonal antibodies against VP1 protein of FMDV. The analysis of biological characteristics shows that the titer of the rescued recombinant PRRSV (TCID50 = -log10(-6.75)/0.1 mL) was similar to its direct parental virus rHuN4-F112-delta508-532, but higher than rHuN4-F112.

BACKGROUND:Inflammation,oxidative stress and bacterial infection are the main causes of delayed wound healing in diabetes.In recent years,various inorganic nanomaterials have been widely used in the treatment of skin wound healing due to their antibacterial activities,but their effects on anti-oxidation and anti-inflammation are limited. OBJECTIVE:To investigate the effect of Prussian blue nanoparticles on the wound repair of diabetes in terms of antioxidant,anti-inflammatory and photothermal antibacterial activities. METHODS:Prussian blue nanoparticles were prepared and characterized.(1)In vitro:The biocompatibility of Prussian blue nanoparticles with different concentrations was detected by MTT assay.The cytoprotective effect of Prussian blue nanoparticles and the intracellular reactive oxidative species level were examined under the condition of hydrogen peroxide.The ability of Prussian blue nanoparticles to decompose hydrogen peroxide and superoxide anion radicals was tested;the effect of Prussian blue nanoparticles on lipopolysaccharide-induced macrophage inflammation was investigated.The photothermal antibacterial activity of Prussian blue nanoparticles was detected by the plate colony counting method.(2)In vivo:ICR mice were intraperitoneally injected with streptozotocin to establish a diabetes mouse model.After the model was successfully established,a 6 mm wound was created on the back with a hole punch.There were the control group(no treatment),the Prussian blue group and the Prussian blue with light group.The wound healing and histomorphological changes were observed. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:(1)In vitro:Prussian blue nanoparticles in 25-200 μg/mL were non-toxic to cells.Prussian blue nanoparticles had the extremely strong antioxidant capacity and mitigated the intracellular reactive oxidative species at a high oxidative stress environment,resulting in a pronounced cytoprotective effect.The Prussian blue nanoparticles not only exhibited hydrogen peroxide degradation activity but also showed strong superoxide scavenging ability.Prussian blue nanoparticles also displayed significant anti-inflammatory activity and extremely strong antibacterial ability after light irradiation.(2)In vivo:After 14 days,the wound sizes of the Prussian blue group and Prussian blue with light group were significantly reduced,and the healing speed of Prussian blue with light group was the fastest.Hematoxylin-eosin and Masson staining showed a lot of granulation tissue formation and collagen deposition in the Prussian blue group and the Prussian blue with light group,of which the Prussian blue with light group was the most.Immunofluorescence staining displayed that,compared with the control group,the expressions of α-SMA and CD31 were increased significantly in Prussian blue group and Prussian blue with light group(P<0.05),but F4/80 expression was decreased significantly in Prussian blue group and Prussian blue with light group(P<0.05),indicating more obvious improvement in the Prussian blue with light group.(3)These results showed that Prussian blue nanoparticles could promote the skin wound healing of the diabetes mouse model by exerting anti-inflammatory,antioxidant and antibacterial effects.

Objective To study the effect of curcumin on wound healing in diabetic mice.Methods The effect of curcumin on fibroblast activity was examined by the MTT assay,and the ROS detection kit was used to detect the effect of curcumin on the hydrogen peroxide-induced scavenging effect of reactive oxygen species(ROS)in fibroblasts.Q-PCR was used to detect the effects of curcumin on the mRNA expression of inflammatory factors CD86,CD206,IL-6 and ARG1 in lipopolysaccharide-induced RAW 264.7macrophage.The wound model of diabetes was established by intraperitoneal injection of streptozotocin.Hematoxylin-eosin(HE)and Masson staining were used to evaluate wound healing and histomorphological changes,and immunofluorescence staining was used to determine skin tissue α-smooth muscle actin,CD86 and CD206 expression.Results Curcumin had no significant effect on fibroblast activity at concentrations less than 20 mol·L-1;curcumin scavenged hydrogen peroxide-induced intracellular ROS in fibroblasts;curcumin decreased the mRNA expression of CD86 and IL-6 while increasing CD206 and ARG1 in lipopolysaccharide-induced RAW 264.7 macrophages.After in vivo administration,compared with the control group,wound healing was significantly faster in the curcumin(15,30 mg·mL-1)group after 7 d and 14 d of wound perforation(P＜0.01).Hematoxylin-eosin(HE)and Masson staining results confirmed a significant increase in granulation tissue and a significant increase in collagen deposition in the curcumin(15,30 mg·mL-1)group.Immunofluorescence assay showed significantly higher expression of CD206(P＜0.01)and significantly reduced expression of CD86(P＜0.01)in the skin wounds of curcumin(15,30 mg·mL-1)for 14 d.In addition,the expression of α-SMA in the wound of the high-dose curcumin(30 mg·mL-1)group was significantly higher than that of the low-dose curcumin group(P＜0.01).Conclusion Curcumin accelerates diabetic wound healing by promoting granulation tissue proliferation and collagen deposition in refractory diabetic wounds in mice through its anti-inflammatory and antioxidant effects.
