Academic Journal of Second Military Medical University 2010;29(11):1337-1340
Objective: To observe the effects of 1-methyl-4-phenyl-1, 2, 3, 6-tetrahydropyridine (MPTP) on the spatial learning ability/memory and dopaminergic neurons in the Nigra of senescence accelerated-prone 8 (SAMP8) mice. Methods: Three-month old male SAMP8 mice were injected with MPTP (36 mg/ kg,s. c.) for 5 days,and animals in the control group were injected with NS (36 ml/kg, s. c.) in the same manner. Morris water maze was used to examine the searching strategy, seeking-platform latency,and the swimming time in the aimed quadrant. Immunohistochemistry was used to observe the changes of TH-ir positive neurons in substantia nigra. Results: The number of TH-ir neurons in substantia nigra pars compacta was significantly reduced in MPTP group compared with the control group(P<0.01). Morris water maze showed that the searching strategy of animals in MPTP group was worse than in the control group, with the seeking-platform latency of MPTP mice significantly prolonged (P<0.01), the time spent in the aimed quadrant significantly decreased (P<0.01) and time in the opposite quadrant significantly prolonged (P<0.05). Conclusion: MPTP can cause damage to the dopaminergic neurons in the substantia nigra of SAMP8 mice,which is subsequently followed by deficit in the spatial learning and memory in the animals.

8.Construction of granulocyte-macrophage colony stimulating factor gene eukaryotic expressing plasmid and identification of its biological activity
Journal of Applied Clinical Pediatrics 2004;0(07):-
Objective To construct mouse granulocyte-macrophage colony stimulating factor (mGM-CSF) gene eukaryotic expressing plasmid pcDNA3-GM-CSF, to transfect the recombinant into erythroleukemia cell line FBL-3, and identify their biological activity.Methods GM-CSF gene eukaryotic expressing plasmid was constructed by subclone and recombinant was transfected into FBL-3 cells by electroporation. After screening by G418 and cloning by limiting dilution,we obtained positive cell clones(FBL-3-GM-CSF). PCR and RT-PCR were used to identify the integration and stable expression of GM-SF gene in FBL-3-GM-CSF cells. The biological activity was confirmed by the hematopoietic progenitor cell proliferative assay and hematopoietic progenitor cell colony formation assay. Results Mouse GM-CSF cDNA was amplified from the prokaryotic expressing plasmid PET-30a(+)-GM-CSF by PCR firstly and BamH Ⅰ and EcoRⅠrestriction sites were introduced. The inserted fragment was cut by BamH Ⅰ and EcoR Ⅰ digestion and ligated into pcDNA3 vector. The pcDNA3-GM-CSF eukaryotic expressing plasmid was constructed. The recombinant was cleared with appropriate endoneucleases and sequenced. The findings showed that the orientation of the insert was correct, while no rearrangement or mutation was found. PCR and RT-PCR assay showed that GM-CSF gene had integrated into FBL-3-GM-CSF cells and stably expressed. The hematopoietic progenitor cell proliferative assay and hematopoietic progenitor cell colony formation assay demonstrated that the cultured supernatant of FBL-3-GM-CSF cells of expressing GM-CSF should obviously stimulate proliferation of murine marrow mononuclear cells, and could stimulate hematopoietic progenitor cell colony formation. The number of colony formation was 54.67?4.83. The rate of colony formation was 0.547 %.Conclusions GM-CSF gene eukaryotic expressing plasmid is constructed successfully. A cell clone, which can express stably GM-CSF gene and possess biological activity,is obtained. Our studies have founded the base for the preparation of GM-CSF gene-modified vaccine of tumor cell and the study of feasibility of immune therapy of leukemia.

BACKGROUND:Although the preparation of bone tissue engineering scaffolds can achieve satisfactory results by solvent casting/particulate leaching, in situ molding method, electrospinning, phase seperation/freeze drying, gas foaming, there are stil some deficiencies in the accuracy, pore uniformity, spatial structure complexity, personalized stents. <br> OBJECTIVE:To prepareβ-tricalcium phosphate bone tissue engineering scaffolds using 3D printing. <br> METHODS:Drug-loadedβ-tricalcium phosphate scaffolds were prepared with 3D printing, and the structure was observed to measure its porosity and mechanical strength. The scaffold was immersed in simulated body fluid for 15 weeks to observe the quality change. The scaffold was co-cultured with rat bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells for 7 days to observe celladhesion and morphological changes. Rat bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells were cultured in extracts of drug-loadedβ-tricalcium phosphate scaffold and low-glucose Dulbecco's modified Eagle’s medium containing 15%fetal bovine serum for 24, 48, and 72 hours, to determine the absorbance values and cytotoxicity grading, respectively. Meanwhile, the cells were subjected to osteogenic culture for 1 week, and <br> the alkaline phosphatase activities in two groups were detected. <br> RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:The prepared scaffold showed irregular micropores, high porosity, uniform pore distribution, high pore connectivity rate, and large compressive strength. The drug-loadedβ-tricalcium phosphate scaffold degraded completely with 15 weeks, and cancellous bone defect repair was completed in the same period. Rat bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells adhered to the surface of drug-loadedβ-tricalcium phosphate scaffold and went deep into the scaffold, showing good growth and proliferation. The activity of alkaline phosphatase was also improved. These findings indicate that the drug-loadedβ-tricalcium phosphate scaffold has good biocompatibility.
