Objective To explore changes of the myeloid derived suppressor cell (MDSC), regulatory T cell (Treg), traditional T cell, and their mechanisms in lung tumor mice. Methods Twenty C57BL/6 mice were randomly divided into the experimental and the normal control groups. The experimental group was injected with Lewis lung cancer cells (LLC, 100μL 1 × 106) subcutaneously to prepare the lung tumor model mice, the normal control group was given the same amount of saline (NC). Spleen cells were obtained from LLC and NC groups. Flow cytometry was used to detect the ratio and number changes of MDSC, Treg, CD4+and CD8+T cells in the lung tumor of mice. CD4+and CD8+T cell apoptosis were detected by Annexin-Ⅴstaining, and their proliferation were detected by 5-bromine deoxidization uracil nucleoside (BrdU) incorporation. Results Compared with normal control mice, the ratio and number of MDSC in spleen increased significantly in LLC group (P<0.01), in addition, the ratio of CD4+Foxp3+Treg in CD4+T cells and their number in spleen increased significantly in LLC group. However, the ratio and number of CD4+and CD8+T cells in spleen decreased significantly in LLC group (P<0.05). The proliferation of CD4+and CD8+T cells decreased significantly in LLC group compared with that of NC group (P<0.05), while the apoptosis of CD8+T cells increased significantly (P<0.05). Conclusion MDSC and Treg cells increase in lung tumor model mice, which inhibit proliferation of CD4+and CD8+T cells and promote apoptosis of CD8+T cells.

Objective To explore the effect of p21Waf1/Cip1 methylation changes on the process of cellular senescence .Methods Bisulfite sequencing was used to analyze the methylation changes of p21Waf1/Cip1 in the process of cellular senescence;p21Waf1/Cip1 ex‐pression was detected by RT‐PCR and Western‐blot ;Middle‐aged 2BS cells was treated by 5‐aza‐CdR and cellular senescence was detected by MTT and SA‐β‐Gal staining .Results Bisulfite sequencing analysis of p21Waf1/Cip1 promoter showed that CpGs were methylated by 1 .25% in the young 2BS cells ,by 27 .27% in the middle‐aged 2BS cells ,while only by 0 .64% in the senescent cells . The expression of p21Waf1/Cip1 was low in the young(28 PD) 2BS cells ,it increased first(35 PD) but decreased later in the middle‐aged(42 PD) cells .In the senescent 2BS cells ,p21Waf1/Cip1 expression was further increased .5‐aza‐CdR treatment resulted in de‐creased growth rate but increasedβ‐Gal staining of middle‐aged 2BS cells .Conclusion The process of cellular senescence is regula‐ted by the status of p21Waf1/Cip1 methylation ,and p21Waf1/Cip1 demethylation accelerates cellular senescence .

To explore the effects of microRNA-150 deletion on the development and homeostasis of regulatory T cells (Treg),γδT cells,NK and NKT cells.Methods:microRNA-150 knockout mice were used and microRNA-150 expression was detected by Real-time PCR.The numbers of Treg ,γδT,NK and NKT cells in the thymus and spleen of normal control and microRNA-150 knockout mice were detected by Flow cytometry.Cell apoptosis was detected by Annexin V staining , and cell proliferation was detected by 5-Bromo-2-deoxyUridine ( Brdu ) incorporation.Results: microRNA-150 deletion did not affect the development and homeostasis of regulatory T cells (Treg) andγδT cells.However,microRNA-150 deletion resulted in a significant reduction of the NK and thymic NKT cell number.In addition, microRNA-150 deleted NK and NKT cells showed an arrested developmental and maturational phenotype with a reduced expression of NK 1.1 and CD122.Moreover , cell apoptosis was significantly increased in microRNA-150 deleted NK and thymic NKT cells ,while a lower cell proliferation rate was shown in the microRNA-150 deleted NK but not NKT cells.Conclusion: CD122 may play an important role in the development and homeostasis of mouse NK and NKT cells regulated by microRNA-150.

ObjectiveTo investigate the effects of simvastatin preconditioning on the expression of inducible and endothelial nitric oxide synthase ( iNOS,eNOS) in thoracic aorta in a rat model of sepsis.Methods Eighty pathogen-free female Wistar rats aged 4 months weighing 200-250 g were randomly divided into 4 groups:group normal control (group Ⅰ,n =8) ; group sham operation (group Ⅱ,n =8) ; group sepsis (group Ⅲ,n =32) and group simvastatin preconditioning (group Ⅳ,n =32).Sepsis was induced by cecal ligation and puncture (CLP) in groups Ⅲ and Ⅳ.In group Ⅳ simvastatin 20 mg/kg was given via a gastric tube once a day for 2 weeksbefore CLP.The thoracic aorta specimens were taken at 3,6,24 and 48 h after CLP (n =8 at each time point)for detection of iNOS and eNOS protein expression by Western blot analysis.ResultsCLP significantly up-regulated iNOS expression and down-regulated eNOS expression in group Ⅲ as compared with groups Ⅰ and Ⅱ.Simvastatin pretreatment significantly attenuated CLP-induced increase in iNOS expression and decrease in eNOS expression in group Ⅳ as compared with group Ⅲ.ConclusionSimvastatin preconditioning can protect vascular endothelial cells from septic injury by down-regulating iNOS expression and up-regulating eNOS expression in vascular endothelial cells.

Objective:To explore the changes of number of CD4+ CD25 + foxp3 + regulatory T cells (Treg)and natural killer cells (NK)in the peripheral immune organs and tumor tissue of the murine models of lung cancer,and to clarify their effects on the development of lung cancer.Methods:The C57BL/6 mice were divided into Lewis lung carcinoma cells (LLC)injection group and normal control group.The mice in LLC injection group were injected with LLC subcutaneously in the armpit to establish the tumor models,while the mice in normal control group were injected with the same amount of saline.The number of CD4+ CD25 + T cells,CD4+ CD25 + foxp3 + Tregs in the spleen,lymph nodes and lung cancer tissues,and the number of NK cells in the spleen tissue were labeled by cell surface or intracellular antibody staining,and detected by flow cytometry.Results:The ratios of CD4+ CD25 + T cells to CD4+ T cells,foxp3+ cells to CD4+ CD25 + T cells,and the number of CD4+ CD25 + foxp3 + Treg in the spleen and lymph nodes of the mice in LLC injection group were increased significantly compared with normal control group (P <0.05 or P <0.01).Moreover,the ratios of CD4+ CD25 + T cells to CD4+ T cells and foxp3 + cells to CD4+ CD25 + T cells in the tumor tissue were significantly higher than those in the spleen and lymph nodes of the mice in LLC injection group.However,the ratio of NK cells in the spleen tissue of the mice in lung cancer group was significantly decreased compared with normal control group (P <0.05).Conclusion:The increase of ratio and the number of Treg cells and the decrease of ratio of NK cells in the main immune organs of lung cancer mice may promote the development of tumor and inhibit the immune response to cancer cells in vivo .

Objective To explore the application of endometriosis fertility index (EFI) in guidance after laparoscopic surgery of endometriosis patients combined with infertility and to explore methods to improve pregnancy rate in different EFI groups. Methods A prospective research was done in endometriosis patients combined with infertility in Beijing Obstetrics and Gynecology Hospital from January 2010 to June 2011, after laparoscopic surgery, these 146 patients were divided into 3 groups by EFI score. Using different pregnancy guidance, these patients had 5 years follow-up. Results (1) The 5 years overall pregnancy rate was 89.0%(130/146). The pregnancy rate was 95.7%(45/47) in EFI≥9 group, 92.8%(77/83) in EFI 5-8 group and 8/16 in EFI≤4 group, three groups were all reach satisfactory pregnancy rate;the rate of the first two groups had no statistically significance (P=0.498), but had significant difference with the last group (P<0.01). (2) In EFI≥5 patients, pregnancy rate was the highest in 6 months after operation;in EFI≥9 group, the pregnancy rate was 66.7%(30/45), and EFI 5-8 group was 50.6%(39/77). (3) EFI≥9 group had the highest natural pregnancy rate [83.6% (46/55)], natural pregnancy rate was significant statistical different in different EFI groups (P=0.001). Conclusions EFI score is a useful evaluation in predicting and guiding pregnancy in endometriosis patients combined with infertility after laparoscopic surgery. EFI score guidance, strict post-operation management and positive pregnancy scheme could significantly improve the pregnancy rate of endometriosis patients with infertility.
