Objective To study the effect of fasudil on inhibiting the Rho/ROCK signaling pathway under high glucose in human mesangial cells (HMCs) inflammation and fibrosis. Methods Synchronized HMCs were divided into following groups: (1) Normal glucose control group ( NG, 5. 5 mmol/L glucose) ;(2) High glucose group (HG, 30 mmol/L glucose) ; (3) Mannitol group (Man, 5.5 mmol/L glucose + 24. 5 mmol/L mannitol) ; (4) High glucose + fasudil group ( HG + F, the concentrations of fasudil were 25 ,50 and 100 μmol/L, respectively). Collect the supernatant and cells at 0, 12, 24, 36, 48 and 72 h respectively, and determine the concentration changes of the RhoA, ROCK- Ⅰ, connective tissue growth factor (CTGF)mRNA with real-time PCR method in the cells, then used the ELISA method to check the protein content of the fibronectin ( FN) , CTGF, TNFα in the supernatant. Results ( 1) RhoA, ROCK- Ⅰand CTGF mRNA of the HMCs cultured under the high glucose expressed significantly higher than those in the normal group, and there was certain time-dependence. Besides, there was no statistic significance by comparing Man and NG. (2) Under the high glucose situation, after the fasudil pretreatment with different concentrations and 24 h or 48 h culture with high glucose, RhoA, ROCK- Ⅰ , CTGF mRNA expression was significantly decreased in HG + F, compared with HG, and there was certain concentration-dependence. (3) High glucose increased the FN, CTGF, TNFα protein secretion of HMCs in a time-dependent manner, but normal glucose and mannitol had no such effect. (4) After the fasudil pretreatment with different concentrations and culture with high glucose for 12, 24, 36, 48, 72 h, the FN, CTGF, TNFα protein secretion was significantly reduced compared with HG. Conclusion Fasudil can reduce the secretion of downstream inflammatory factors and cytokines by inhibiting high glucose-activated HMCs Rho/ROCK signaling pathway, and reduce the inflammation and fibrosis of HMCs. This provides a new basis for the therapeutic target in the treatment of diabetic nephropathy.

Objective:To illustrate the effect and mechanism of ibrutinib,a Bruton's tyrosine kinase(BTK)inhibitor that inhibits diffuse large B-cell lymphoma(DLBCL)cell survival.Methods:DLBCL cell lines SUDHL-10 and HBL-1 were treated with ibrutinib at different concentrations.A MTT assay was used to detect the inhibition of cell proliferation.Cell apoptosis was analyzed by Annexin V-binding assay,as well as flow cytometry and DAPI staining.The expression of phosphorylated BTK,AKT and ERK was detected by Western blot. DLBCL cells were co-cultured with MSC.The inhibitory effect of ibrutinib on DLBCL cells in tumor microenvironment was assessed in clonogenicity in vitro and in a tumor-bearing non-obese diabetic/severe combined immunodeficient mice in vivo.Results:Up to 2.5 μmol/L and high concentrations of ibrutinib significantly inhibited the proliferation of DLBCL cells in a dose-dependent manner.Approx-imately 1 and 2.5 μmol/L ibrutinib was added on SUDHL-10 cells for 24 h,and the cell apoptotic rates were(21.73±3.64)% and(34.71± 2.36)%,respectively.Both were superior to that of the control group(3.55±1.89)%(P<0.05).Both two DLBCL cell lines pretreated with 5 and 10 μmol/L ibrutinib for 24 h and exhibited nuclear shrinkage at 5 μmol/L and nuclear fragmentation at 10 μmol/L.The expres-sion of phosphorylated BTK,AKT,and ERK decreased significantly after ibrutinib treatment.Ibrutinib inhibited clonogenicity in vitro(P<0.01)and cell proliferation and growth in vivo of DLBCL cells in co-culture system.The differences were statistically significant.Conclu-sion:Ibrutinib can inhibit the proliferation and induce apoptosis of SUDHL-10 and HBL-1 cell lines through a mechanism of blocking the AKT and ERK signaling pathways,as well as the proliferation of DLBCL cells in tumor microenvironment.This finding can significant-ly benefit DLBCL treatment.

OBJECTIVE To study the imp rovement effects of total flavonoids of Psidium guajava leaves on myocardial hypertrophy in hypertensive model rats. METHODS Ten rats were randomly selected from 60 healthy SD rats as the normal group ; other 50 rats established hypertensive model ,and 44 rats with successful modeling were randomly divided into model group , anisomycin group [p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase (p38 MAPK)activator,1 mg/kg],total flavonoids of P. guajava leaves+ anisomycin group (200 mg/kg total flavonoids+ 1 mg/kg anisomycin )and total flavonoids of P. guajava leaves group (200 mg/kg) by random volume mass ranking method ,with 11 rats in each group. Rats in normal group and model group were given 3% hydroxymethylcellulose sodium solution ,and other groups were given relevant solution intragastrically ,once a day ,for consecutive 6 weeks. Blood pressure (systolic blood pressure ,diastolic blood pressure ,mean arterial pressure ),cardiac index and left ventricular index were measured. The levels of tumor necrosis factor-α(TNF-α),interleukin-1β(IL-1β)and IL- 6 in myocardial tissue were detected. The pathomorphological changes of myocardial tissue were observed. The expression of p 38 MAPK, phosphorylated p 38 MAPK (p-p38 MAPK),extracellular regulated protein kinase 1/2 (ERK1/2),phosphorylated ERK 1/2 (p-ERK1/2),c-Jun N-terminal kinase (JNK)and phosphorylated JNK (p-JNK)in myocardial tissue were detected. RESULTS Compared with normal group ,the systolic blood pressure ,diastolic blood pressure ,mean arterial pressure ,cardiac index ,left ventricular index as well as the levels of TNF-α,IL-1β and IL-6 and protein expression of p-p 38 MAPK,p-ERK1/2 and p-JNK in myocardial tissue were increased significantly in anisomycin group and model group (P<0.05);it was also found that hypertrophy of cardiomyocytes ,disorder of myocardial fibers ,looseness,edema and proliferation of connective tissue between myocardial fibers,increased infiltration of inflammatory cells ,etc. Compared with anisomycin group and model group ,the le vels of above indexes in total flavonoids of P. guajava leaves+ anisomycin group and total flavonoids of P. guajava leaves group were decreased significantly (P<0.05); cardiomyocytes were 163.com slightly larger and arranged reasonably ;the degree of myocardial hypertrophy,looseness,edema and proliferation of connective tissue were relieved ,and the improvement effect of total flavonoids of P. guajava leaves group was more significant (P<0.05). CONCLUSIONS The total flavonoids of P. guajava leaves can reduce blood pressure and improve myocardial hypertrophy in hypertensive model rats. Its mechanism may be related to the inhibition of p38 MAPK signal pathway activity and the expression of inflammatory factors.
