Chinese Journal of Immunology 1999;0(12):-
Objective:In order to determine the nature of P 200 autoantigen Methods:12 cases of anti-P 200 pemphigoid sera were collected The skin sections from 6 cases of recessive dystrophic epidermolysis bullosa were studied with these sera by indirect immunofluorescence Results:All the 12 anti-P 200 pemphigoid sera could react with basement membrane zone (BMZ)of 5 cases of recessive dystrophic epidermolysis bullosa, while epidermolysis bullosa acquisita sera were negative in these skins In addition, in a case of recessive dystrophic epidermolysis bullosa, epidermolysis bullosa acquisita sera react with both BMZ and intracytoplasmic deposition of type Ⅶ collagen, while no anti-P 200 pemphigoid sera showed this reactivity Conclusion:These results suggested that the 200 kD antigen is not a component of type Ⅶ collagen, but a specific autoantigen

ObjectiveTo explore the recurrence inhibition of colorectal cancer by adenoviral transducted endostatin gene. Methods The recombinant adenovirus expressing endostatin was constructed. Its biological activities were observed. The levels of endostatin in mice peripheral blood, tumor local recurrence and tumor cell apotosis were analyzed after the endostatin gene transduction by adenovirus. Results The infecting supernatant of recombinant adenovirus significantly inhibited HUVEC proliferation. After the injection of the recombinant adenovirus, persistent high serum levels of endostatin in peripheral blood was observed, local recurrence rate decreased, and apotosis of recurrence tumor cells increased.Conclusions The intraveneously injection of recombinant adenovirus mediated endostatin gene produces high concentration and stable expression of endostatin,which effects prevention of local recurrence after surgical resection of colorectal cancer.

Objective To explore the curative effects of mesenchymal stem cells(MSC)that overexpress in murine type 1 diabetes nephropathy (DN).Methods Mice were randomly divided into normal control(NC) group,DN group,C3-treated group,C3-MIGR1-treated group and C3-MIGR1-ICAM-1-treated group.Mice were given streptozotocin until the DN model was set up.The murine DN model was treated with murine MSC(C3H10T1/2),transfection empty vector of murine MSCs(C3H10T1/2-MIGR1/MSC) and murine MSCs (C3H10T1/2-ICAM-1/MSC)that overexpressed ICAM-1.After transplantation, the pathological features of kidneys were observed by Masson staining and the number of homing MSC cells to the kidney was calculated on days 1,3,7 by frozen section, while qPCR was used to analyze the expression of signaling molecules for collagen1, TGF-β1 and SMAD2 after treatment with various MSCs.Results Compared with DN group, the renal fibrosis treated with MSCs overexpressing ICAM-1 was significantly decreased by Masson staining.Three and seven days after transplant, the homing cells of MSC in different groups displayed no difference using tissue freezing section method.Furthermore, TGF-β1/SMAD signaling was lowly activated after the treatment with MSCs that overexpressed ICAM-1 compared with model mice(P<0.01).Conclusion MSCs that overexpress ICAM-1 can protect kidneys in the DN model.

Objective To explore the feasibility of the application of non fasting blood lipid in the hospitalized population.Methods Self-control study was used.608 patients(aged 20~86 years old) were enrolled from April 2015 to October 2016 in lipid center of FuWai hospital.Fasting sample and non-fasting sample(1~4 h after breakfast) were collected from every patient and lipid profile including TG (triglyceride), TC (total cholesterol), HDL-C (high density lipoprotein cholesterol) and LDL-C (low density lipoprotein cholesterol) were measured in clinical laboratory.The results of two tests were compared using the Wilcoxon signed-rank test.Results The differences between non-fasting and fasting lipid test were +0.47 mmol/l (+30%) for TG,-0.03 mmol/l (-2.8%) for HDL-C,-0.09 mmol/l (-3%) for LDL-C and-0.24 mmol/l (-8.7%) for calculated LDL-C (P<0.001 respectively).The differenceswere +0.01 mmol/l for TC and +0.02 mmol/l for non-HDL-C,therefore no statistical difference was observed.When the TG level was stratified,the level of non-fasting LDL-C using directing test method was not significantly different between TG> 4.5 mmol/L and the whole (0.07 vs.0.09),but the level of non-fasting LDL-C using formula method wassignificantly different between TG> 4.5 mmol/L and the whole (0.66 Vs.0.24),andthe drops were 34.9% vs.8.7%.Conclusion Non-fasting lipid test could be an effective routine method for lipid evaluation in the hospitalized population.

Objective To detect the expression of metastasis sappressor 1(MTSS1) gene in cervical cancer tissue and to clarify its association with cervical cancer.Methods Totally 103 cases of cervical tissue were collected between Dec 2011 and Dec 2014 and classified according to biopsy and stage .Q-PCR and Western blotting were used to detect the expression of MTSS1 in normal cervical tissue and in different clinical stages of cervical cancer tissue .Results The expression of MTSS1 inⅡB-Ⅳstages of cervical cancer tissue was significantly higher than that of normal tissue or Ⅰ-ⅡA stages through q-PCR (P=0.000).Western blotting results showed that MTSS1 was positively expressed in normal cervical tissue at a rate of 23.3% or 53.3% in cervical cancer tissue.Moreover, the expression of MTSS1 was poorly correlated with age, tumor differentiation and lymphnode metastasis in cervical cancer tissue (P>0.05).The protein level of MTSS1 expressed in ⅡB-Ⅳ stages was significantly higher than that ofⅠ-ⅡA stages(P=0.005).Conclusion The expression of MTSS1 indicates the clinical stage of cervical cancer , suggesting that MTSS1 may play an important role in the development of cervical cancer .

OBJECTIVE To investigate the effect of overexpression of vascular cell adhesion molecule-1(VCAM-1)on the migration in vitro of the murine mesenchymal stem cells(MSCs)and its possible mechanism. METHODS The migration ability of normal mouse MSC (C3) ,empty vector-transfected MSC(C3+N) and VCAM-1 transfected MSC(C3+VCAM-1)was assessed by Transwell culture system in vitro after incubation for 8 and 12 h,respectively. The fetal bovine serum (FBS) was used as the chemotactic agent to induce MSC migration. The transmigrated cells were detected with methylosaniliam chloride(crystal violet)as well as DAPI staining.Furthermore,the specific chemical inhibitors of mitogen-activation protein kinase (MAPK) pathway ( SB203580,PD98059 and JNK inhibitorⅡ)were added to the Transwell system for 12 h and the alteration of the MSC migration ability was evaluated. RESULTS After incubation with FBS for 8 and 12 h,the absolute migrated cell number(7467 ± 485 and 8795 ± 255)and migration rate〔(14.9 ± 1.0)% and(17.6 ± 0.5)%〕of MSC in C3+VCAM-1 group were significantly increased compared with C3 group〔2731±562 and 4779±224, (5.5 ± 1.1)%and(9.6 ± 0.4)%〕and C3+N group〔2539 ± 321 and 5645 ± 1080,(5.1 ± 0.6)%and(11.3 ± 1.1)%〕(P<0.05,P<0.01),but there was no significant difference between C3 and C3+N groups. Moreover,the MSC migration ability of C3+VCAM-1 group was partially suppressed by addition of JNK inhibitorⅡ. The transmigrated cell number(4843 ± 167)and migration rate〔(9.7 ± 0.3)%〕were decreased compared with those of C3+VCAM-1 group without JNK inhibitorⅡ(P<0.01). SB203580 and PD98059,as specific chemical inhibitors of MAPK pathway,had no effect on MSC migration. CONCLUSION VCAM-1 can enhance mouse MSC migration in vitro and th4e mechanism may be related to JNK/MAPK pathway activation.
