Objective: To explore the effect of macrophages with different activated phenotypes on tumor growth, lymphangiogenesis and lymp node metastasis in mice bearing Lewis lung carcinoma (LLC). Methods: The xenografted models were established via subcutaneous injection of LLC cells and activated macrophages into mice. They were divided into 4 groups: blank control group, classically activated macrophages (caMphi) group, alternatively activated macrophages (aaMphi) group and RAW264. 7 group with 10 mice in each group. The growth of transplanted tumors was examined dynamically and then the mice were sacrificed on d 28. The transplanted tumors were resected and the lymph nodes and distant metastasis were observed by HE staining. The LYVE-1+ lymphatic vessel densities (LVD) were detected by immunohistochemistry. Furthermore, other 40 mice were randomly divided into the four groups and the survival rates were recorded. Results: Compared with the blank control group, the aaMphi and RAW264. 7 xenografted tumors grew faster and had more lymph nodes and lung metastasis (P < 0.01) as well as increased LVD and decreased survival rates (P < 0.05) in the aaMphi group and RAW264.7 group. The number of metastatic lymph nodes and LVD were significantly higher in the aaMphi group than those in the RAW264. 7 group (P < 0.05). However, there was no significant difference in tumor growth, lung metastatic nodes and survival rate of tumor-bearing mice between the two groups (P > 0.05). Conclusion: aaMphi can promote the growth, lymphangiogenesis, lymph nodes and lung metastasis in transplanted LLC tumors, and reduce the survival rate of tumor-bearing mice. In the tumorigenesis of transplanted LLC tumors, RAW264. 7 cells may toward aaMphi.

Objective To investigate the protective effects of sirolimus on unilateral ureteral obstruction (UUO) induced renal fibrosis by blockage of mTOR and its mechanism. Methods Forty-two female rats were randomized to 3 groups: UUO group, sirolimus group (Sir group), and control group. UUO rats underwent unilateral ureteral ligation to reproduce renal fibrosis model. Sir group received sirolimus 2mg/kg wt per day (0.4ml, intragastric administration) from one day before the UUO procedure to the end of study. The control group underwent surgery but without ureteral ligation. Obstructed kidneys were harvested on 7th and 14th day, and histological examination was performed for observing and comparing the degree of renal and renal tubule expansion. The concentrations of sodium, potassium and calcium ion in the urine obtained from the pelvis of the kidneys with ligated ureters were determined. At the same time, the expression of proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA) and apoptosis were observed with immunohistochemical method and TUNEL respectively. MicroRNAs quantities (mir-29c, mir-143, and mir-155) were assayed by quantitative PCR. Results At abovementioned two time-points, swollen kidneys and expanded renal tubules were observed in UUO and Sir groups as compared to control group, however, kidney in Sir group showed significantly less swelling and than that in UUO group (P<0.01). Histological observation found tubular injury, cellular infiltration, and fibrosis were more marked in UUO group as compared to Sir group. Na+, K+ and Ca2+ of retention urine were significantly lower in Sir group than in UUO group (P<0.05). PCNA-positive cell ratio and apoptosis ratio were higher in UUO group than in Sir and control groups (P<0.01). No significant difference in expression of miR-155 or miR-143 was found between 3 groups, however, miR-29c expression in UUO group was down-regulated and significantly lower than that in control or Sir group (P<0.01). Conclusion With obstruction of the ureter, blocking mTOR pathways by sirolimus can attenuate fibrosis in the affected kidney.
