Objective To observe the relationship between liver steatosis in rats with long-term high-caloric and high-fat diet and the expression of angiotensinogen(AGT)、uncoupling protein 2(UCP-2)and transforming growth factorβ1(TGFβ1).Then angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitor(ACEI)and angiotensin Ⅱ receptor blocker(ARB)drugs were given to investigate whether rennin-angiotensin system (RAS)blockade can mitigate the liver steatosis and to probe its mechanisms.Methotis Forty male Wistar rats were divided into normal control group(NC group,n=10),high-calorie and high-fat fed group(HF group,n=10),ARB treated group(AR group,n=10)and ACEI treated group(AE group,n=10).Rats were fed with high-calorie and high-fat diet and given RAS inhibitor drugs(valsartan 40mg/kg to the AR group and perindopril 4 mg/kg to the AE group)for eight weeks.Serum TG,free fatty acids(FFAs) lever and the fat content in liver were then measured with biochemical tests;insulin resistance was evaluated with euglycemic hyperinsulinemia clamp technique,the expression of UCP-2 and TGFβI in liver tissue were examind with immunohistochemical staining and AGT mRNA,UCP-2 mRNA and TGFβ1 mRNA were tested with RT-PCR.Results With the administration of RAS inhibitor drugs,following changes were observed.The levels of TG and FFAs and the fat content in liver decreased(P<0.01 or P<0.05),insulin resistance in high-fat fed rats was improved(P<0.05),liver steatosis,inflammation and fibrosis were mitigated.The levels of UCP-2 decreased by 36.5%(P<0.05)in AE group and 42.5%(P<0.05)in AR group and TGFβ1 decreased by 37%(P<0.05)in AE group and 41.6%(P<0.05)in AR group as compared with the HF group with immunohistochemical staining.The expression of AGTmRNA decreased by 14.9%(P<0.05)in AE group and 21%(P<0.05)in AR group,UCP-2 mRNA decreased by 9%(P<0.05)in AE group and 11%(P<0.05)in AR group and TGFβ1 mRNA decreased by 17%(P<0.05)in AE group and 19%(P<0.05)in AR group as compared with the HF group with RT-PCR.Conclusions RAS blockade could improve insulin resistance,mitigate the liver injury of long term high-fat fed rats and have a protective effect on liver.The mechanism may be associated with the effects of improved insulin resistance,the interaction within RAS and the down-regulation of UCP-2 and TGFβ1 in liver tissue.

Objective To investigate the changes of saliva biochemical parameters in the dynamic evolution of “normal constitution - kidney deficiency constitution - kidney deficiency syndrome”.Methods Totally 24 male and female SD rats of 3 months old (12 male rats and 12 female rats) were put in packet pair cage. Pregnant rats were randomly divided intoⅠ andⅡ groups, 6 rats in each group.Ⅰ group was without intimidation during pregnancy, with normal feeding, and then after the birth, 20 rats were randomly selected as normal control group and kidney deficiency syndrome model group, 10 rats in each group, half male and half female.Ⅱ group, from gestation day 2, was given intimidation until postnatal. 10 half male and half female rats were randomly selected as model group of kidney deficiency constitution. Rats in each group received normal feeding conditions for 6 weeks. The kidney deficiency syndrome model group was given intramuscular injection of hydrocortisone 25 mg/kg body weight every day, while normal control group and kidney deficiency constitution model group were injected with the same amount of normal saline for 10 consecutive days. The changes of salivary biochemical parameters were observed in each group of rats.Results Compared with the normal control group, salivary pH in the kidney deficiency constitution group and kidney deficiency syndrome group significantly increased (P<0.01). CK, ALT, AST, ALP levels in the kidney deficiency constitution group were reduced, but the contents of K, P, TP, AMY increased. The levels of CK, ALT, AST, ALP and LDH in the kidney deficiency syndrome decreased, while the contents of K, P, TP, and AMY increased (P<0.05,P<0.01). Compared with the kidney deficiency constitution group, the content of LDH in the kidney deficiency syndrome group decreased (P<0.05).Conclusion Rat saliva composition changes did occur in the kidney deficiency constitution group and kidney deficiency syndrome group.

To investigate the effects of rennin angiotensin system blockade on the microvessel density in islets of diabetic rats and its relationship with islet function, diabetes model was created by feeding of high-caloric laboratory chow plus intraperitoneal injection of a small dose of streptozotocin (30 mg/kg). After 8 weeks intervention with perindopril (AE, n=10) or valsartan (AR, n=10), the islet function of the animals was evaluated by intravenous insulin release test (IVIRT). The pancreases were immunohistochemically stained to analyze the content of insulin and vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) in the islets. The microvessel density (MVD) of islets was detected by counting CD34 positive cells. The hypoxia inducible factor (HIF)-1alpha mRNA expression in the islets was detected by RT-PCR. Compared with normal control group (NC, n=10), the area under the curve for insulin from 0 to 30 min (AUCI(0-30)) of diabetes group (DM, n=8) was decreased by 66.3%; the insulin relative concentration (IRC) of betacell was decreased significantly; the relative content of VEGF was increased obviously [(-4.21+/-0.13) vs (-4.06+/-0.29)]; MVD in islets was decreased by 71.4%; the relative expression of HIF-1alpha mRNA was increased by 1.19 times (all P<0.01). Compared with DM group, the AUCI(0-30) of AE and AR group was increased by 44.6% and 34.9% respectively; IRC was also increased significantly; the relative content of VEGF was decreased by 21.2% and 21.7% respectively; MVD was increased by 62.5% and 75.0% respectively; the relative expression of HIF-1alpha was decreased by 27.2% and 29.0% respectively (all P<0.01 or P<0.05). There were no significant differences in the said indexes between group AE and AR. It is concluded that the blockade of RAS may ameliorate islets function of diabetic rats by increasing the MVD in islets.

Objective To construct the plasmid containing short hairpin RNA (shRNA) of GCS in order to suppress the expression of GCS and to reverse the multidrug resistance in drug-resistant breast cancer cells. Methods Two reverse repeated motifs of sequence targeting GCS with 6 bp spacer were designed and synthesized in vitro,then they were inserted into the plasmid pSUPER. The recombinant plasmids were transfected into human breast cancer cells. GCS expression was detected by Western blot and immunocytochemistry. caspase-3 expression and its activity were assessed using Western blot and colorimetry,flow cytometry was performed to analyze the ratio of apoptosis. Results MTT method was used to evaluate the 50% inhibition concentration. Enzyme digestion analysis and DNA sequencing confirmed that the recombinant plasmids were successfully constructed. GCS protein content decreased 80%,82% respectively after transfection with recombinant plasmids. The positive rate of GCS expression reduced to 18.1%,16.7% respectively. caspase-3 expression and its activity were significantly higherand the apoptosis of cells increased dramatically. The drug resistance of breast cancer cells to antineoplastic drugs declined significantly. Conclusion shRNA can suppress GCS expression in human drug-resistant breast cancer cells effectively and restore the sensitivity to several antineoplastic drugs.
