Objective To observe the response of activated microglia/macrophages within and around the lesion site after rats' spinal cord injury treated with chitosan.Methods 35 adult female Wistar rats were randomly divided into the sham group (n=5), completely transection group (n=15) and chitosan treated group (n=15). The responses of activated microglia/macrophages on the 1st day, 3rd day, 7th day, and in the 2nd week and 4th week after surgery were examined by immunohistochemistry.Results Microglia/macrophages were fully activated and the number of these cells increased and got the highest level on the 3rd day post injury, then quickly decreased. In the chitosan treated animals, the microglia/macrophages were fully activated and the number increased to peak on the 7th day, then quickly decreased, there were still a few microglia/macrophages around the wound in the 2nd to 4th week after the treatment.Conclusion Microglia/macrophages could be recruited within and around the lesion area longer when treated by chitosan.

ObjectiveTo explore the effect of bFGF-chitosan carriers on inducing bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) to differentiate into nerve cells.MethodsMSCs were detected by immunohistochemistry and Western blot after they were induced by bFGF-chitosan carriers to differentiate into neurons. The MTT chromometry assay was carried out to determine cell viability.ResultsThe proportion of express neural stem cells marker Nestin, and neuronal markers class Ⅲ β-tubulin and MAP-2 was 83.54% after MSCs induced by bFGF-chitosan carriers.ConclusionbFGF-chitosan carriers can induce MSCs to differentiate into nerve cells with a high percentage.

ObjectiveTo observe the hindlimb motor end-plate morphology and activity of acetyl cholinesterase (AChE) in different types of muscle fiber end-plate areas after spinal cord injury and spinal cord reconstruction tubes inducing spinal cord regeneration. Methods43 adult Wistar rats were randomly divided into spinal cord transected group at T8 (Cx group), spinal cord transected with transplantation of reconstruction tubes group (CxTp group) and control group (Co group). 2 weeks, 4 weeks, 3 months, 6 months and 12 months after operation, gastrocnemius, soleus and extensor digitorum longus were dissected respectively, and stained with gold chloride to observe the motor end-plate and stained with Karnovsky-Roots to detect AChE. ResultsIn Cx group, the end-plates degenerated since 3 months after operation, while the AChE activity declined. In CxTp group, end-plate structure and morphology were relatively stable and there were no signs of degeneration. ConclusionAfter spinal cord injury, motor end-plates undergo degeneration. The spinal cord reconstruction tubes graft can prevent end-plate degeneration and benefit for AChE reactivation and motor end-plate morphological and structural plasticity towards the direction of neurological rehabilitation.

Objective To evaluate the role of protein kinase C (PKC) in reduction of hypoxia-reoxygenation (H/R) injury by hypoxic preconditioning or norepinephrine preconditioning in cultured neonatal rat cardiomyocytes. Methods Primary cultured neonatal rat cardiomyocytes were randomly divided into 6 groups (n = 25 each): control group (group Ⅰ), H/R group (group Ⅱ), hypoxia preconditioning group (group Ⅲ), norepinephrine preconditioning group (group Ⅳ), H7 + hypoxia preconditioning group (group Ⅴ) and H7 + norepinephrine preconditioning group (group Ⅵ). In group Ⅱ , the cardiomyocytes were exposed to 3 h of hypoxia followed by 1 h of reoxygenation. In group Ⅲ, the cells were subjected to 20 min of hypoxia followed by 20 min of reoxygenation before H/R. Norepinephrine was added to the culture medium with a final concentration of 10- 7 mol/L,and then the cells were cultured for 30 min before H/R in group Ⅳ. H7 was added to the culture medium with a final concentration of 5 × 10-5 mol/L, the cells were then cultured for 10 min, and the following procedures before H/R were the same as thase described in group Ⅴ . H7 was added to the culture medium with a final concentration of 5 × 10-5 mol/L, the cells were then cultured for 10 min, and the following procedures were the same as those described in group Ⅵ. The cell survival rate, the activities of LDH and CK in the supernatant, and the content of MDA and activity of SOD in cardiomyocytes were determined. Results The cell survival rate and activity of SOD were significantly lower, while the LDH and CK activities and MDA content higher in group Ⅱ than in group Ⅰ ,in group Ⅴ than in group Ⅲ, and in group Ⅵ than in group Ⅳ (P ＜ 0.01). The cell survival rate and activity of SOD were significantly increased, while the LDH and CK activities and MDA content decreased in group Ⅲ and Ⅳ compared with group Ⅱ (P＜0.01).Conclusion The activiation of PKC is involved in the reduction of H/R injury by hypoxic preconditioning or norepinephrine preconditioning in cultured neonatal rat cardiomyocytes.

Objective To explore the effect of inhibition of miR-214 expression on the proliferation of hepatocellular carcinoma cells via regulation of E2F3 expression.Methods The expression of miR-214 in SMMC-7721, HepG2, SK-Hep-1 and Huh 7 cells was examined by RT-PCR.Hepatocellular carcinoma cells were transfected with miR-214 NC and miR-214 mimics with liposomes.The expression of miR-214 was detected by RT-PCR.The cell viability was detected by MTT assay.Cell apoptosis was detected by Hoechst staining.Cell cycle was detected by flow cytometry.Western blot, RT-PCR and dual luciferase reporter gene assay were used to detect whether E2F3 was a downstream target gene of miR-214.Results The expression of miR-214 in SMMC-7721, HepG2, SK-Hep-1 and Huh 7 cells was 0.83±0.08, 0.32±0.03, 0.33±0.03, and 0.08±0.01, respectively.The expression of miR-214 in the HepG2 cells was the lowest, so HepG2 cells were selected as the subsequent experimental cell line.Compared with the miR-214 NC group, the expression of miR-214 (0.65±0.06 vs.0.14±0.01) was up-regulated, the cell viability (0.35±0.03 vs.0.69±0.06) was decreased, cell apoptosis rate [(36.37±3.43)% vs.(3.74±0.34)%] was increased, the G1 phase of the cell cycle (57.79±5.78 vs.45.319±4.53) was prolonged, the expression of E2F3 protein (0.23±0.02 vs.0.98±0.09) and mRNA (0.24±0.02 vs.0.99±0.10) was significantly down-regulated in the miR-214 mimics group (P<0.01).Conclusion miR-214 mimics suppress the HepG2 cell proliferation via targeted down-regulation of E2F3 expression.

Objective:To investigate the value of anti-hexokinase1 antibodies (anti-HK-1) and anti-kelch-like 1 antibodies (anti-KLHL12) antibody in evaluating ursodeoxycholic acid (UDCA) response in patients with primary biliary cholangitis (PBC).Methods:112 PBC patients who had been treated with UDCA for more than 12 months with relatively complete clinical data were analyzed. Serum was collected and the expression of anti-mitochondrial antibody (AMA), anti-HK-1 and anti-KLHL12 antibodies were detected by ELISA. The response to UDCA was based on Paris standard. According to the expression of new antibodies, the patients were divided into the new antibody positive group and negative group. In addition, PBC related baseline indicators were collected, and Spearman correlation analysis was used to study the correlation between antibody expression and baseline indicators in PBC patients.Results:Positivity of anti-HK1 and anti-KLHL12 antibody in AMA-positive PBC patients were 44.7% and 41.2% respectively. Positivity of anti-HK1 and anti-KLHL12 antibodies in AMA negative PBC patients were 33.3% and 22.2%. Anti-HK1 positive patients had higher serum levels of Alaninetransaminase (ALP), aspartate aminotransferase, (AST), γ-glutamyl transpeptidase (γ-GT) and total bilirubin (TBIL) compared with anti-HK1 negative patients, with statistical significant differences ( P<0.05). Notably, correlation analysis showed significantly positive correlation between anti-HK1 antibody expression and ALP, γ-GT and TBIL serum levels ( r=0.735, P<0.05; r=0.332, P<0.05; r=0.491, ( r=0.466, P<0.05). The UDCA response rate in anti-HK-1 antibody positive group was lower than that of the negative group (36.2% vs 60%; P<0.05). Conclusion:Anti-HK-1 and anti-KLHL12 antibody can help to diagnose PBC, and the expression of anti-HK-1 antibody is correlated with the severity of PBC, which could help to predict the reaction of PBC patients to UDCA.
