Chinese Journal of Rehabilitation Theory and Practice 2015;(12):1397-1401
Objective To observe the effect of grape seed proanthocyanidin extract (GSPE) on growth associated protein-43 (GAP-43) through extracellular signal regulated kinase 1/2 (ERK1/2) pathway in rats with brain radiation injury. Methods 72 3-month male Sprague-Dawley rats were divided into control group (n=18), model group (n=18), high dose GSPE group (n=18) and low dose GSPE group (n=18). The brain radiation injury models were established by linear accelerator irradiation with 22 Gy. The learning ability was assessed with shuttle box. The morphological changes of neurons in hippocampus were observed with HE staining;the expression of GAP-43 was de-tected by RT-PCR; and the expression of phosphorylated ERK1/2 was detected by Western blotting. Results Compared with the model group, the active avoidance reaction rate in the shuttle box test increased and the passive avoidance latency shortened in GSPE groups (P<0.001); the nerve cell morphological injury reduced and the expression of GAP-43 mRNA and phosphorylated ERK1/2 increased in the GSPE groups (P<0.001), especially in the high dose GSPE group (P<0.001). The GAP-43 mRNA level positively correlated with phosphory-lated ERK1/2 level in the model group (r=0.764, P<0.001), the low dose GSPE group (r=0.814, P<0.001) and the high dose GSPE group (r=0.822, P<0.001). Conclusion GSPE could promote the expression of GAP-43 through ERK1/2 pathway in rats, and prevent the brain from radiation injury.

Objectives To express the miracidial antigen from eggs of Schistosoma japonicum (Chinese mainland strain) (SjMP10), and investigate the role of the miracidial antigen during the hepatic granuloma formation of schistosomiasis. Methods A pair of specific primers was designed and synthesized according to the nucleotide sequence of the open reading frame of the miracidial antigen gene. The open reading frame of the miracidial antigen gene was amplified, digested by restrictive enzyme(BamHI, SalI), and cloned directly into the expression plasmid pGEX-4T-3 to construct the recombinant plasmid. The recombinant plasmids were transformed into E. coli BL21(DE3), and induced by IPTG to express the fusion protein of GST-SjMP10. The expressed fusion protein was purified by electric elution method, and its antigenicity was examined by Western blotting and lymphocyte proliferation test. Results The gene of miracidial antigen was cloned into the expression plasmid pGEX-4T-3. After induced by IPTG, the recombinant expressed a fusion protein of GST-SjMP10, with a molecular weight of 39 000 approximately. The purified fusion protein showed proper antigenicity that could be recognized by the sera of rabbits heavily infected by Schistosoma japonicum and could stimulate the proliferation of splenic lymphocytes of infected BALB/c mice. Conclusion The miracidial antigen from eggs of Schistosoma japonicum was expressed successfully.

Growth hormone (GHRH) and pitutary adenylate cyclase activating peptide (PACAP) are the members of the PACAP/Glucagon superfamily,who are related in both sequence and function.Their stimulation of GH secretion and animal growth is concerned.A series of expression plasmid,pIRES1-GHRH-PACAP (P-G-P),plRESI-GHRH (P-G) and plRESI-PACAP(P-P),were constructed,extracted and purified,then transfected into CHO cell line with Lipofectamine.The expression was examined by RT-PCR,dot-ELISA and Western blotting.The biological activity of expression products was detected in rats.At 8 h after injection of transfection supematant,serum IGF-I concentrations in P-G-P group were significantly higher than that in other groups(P < 0.05).PLGA encapsulating plasmid microspheres were prepared and injected intramuscularly into rabbit legs.Growth behavior and IGF-1 level were measured at day 0,15,30 and 45 after injection.Greater body weights gain and higher serum 1GF- [ levels were observed in three plasmid microsphere injection groups,compared with control group.At day 30,the body weight gain in P-G-P group was greater than saline group (81%,P< 0.01),P-G mierosphere group (15%,P< 0.05) and P-P microsphere group (7%,P> 0.05),serum IGF-I concentration in P-G-P microsphere group showed a 16.68% increase to P-G microsphere (P > 0.05),a 17.14% increase to P-P microsphere(P > 0.05) and a 50.46% increase to control (P < 0.05).These results suggest that co-expression of GHRH and PACAP in one expression plasmid might exert an additive stimulation of GH secretion and growth when delivered into rabbit skeletal muscle with PLGA mierosphere.The results may provide a new approach to regulate animal growth.
