Objective To investigate the regulatory effect of calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) on the mRNA and protein expression of neuronal nitric oxide synthase (NOS), as well as the release of nitric oxide (NO) in cultured human keratinocyte line HaCaT. Methods NO level in the supernatant of cell culture medium was detected with an enzymatic NO detecting kit, the mRNA expression of neuronal NOS was studied with reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction(RT-PCR), and the protein expression of neuronal NOS was studied with immunochemical technique(SP). Results Compared with that in normal culture condition, the mRNA and protein expression of neuronal NOS and the release of NO was significantly upregulated by CGRP in HaCaT cells. Whereas, the expression of neuronal NOS and the release of NO in HaCaT cells induced by CGRP was inhibited by CGRP-8-37, an inhibitor of CGRP receptor. Conclusion The expression of neuronal NOS in keratinocytes and the release of NO from keratinocytes could be upregulated by CGRP.

OBJECTIVE To investigate the possible effects of meteorological and environmental factors on IL-4 gene specific DNA methylation levels in CD4+T cells of children with AR.METHODS Thirty five pediatric AR patients(6-12 years) followed up for one year from the Department of Otolaryngology, Shanghai Children Medical Center from Jan, 1, 2012 to Dec. 31, 2012 were included in this study. Data on daily particulate matter of diameter smaller than 10 micrometer(PM10) and particulate matter of diameter smaller than 2.5 micrometer(PM2.5) was available as average values derived from the data of 6 state-controlled monitoring stations distributed across Pudong District, Shanghai. We quantified IL-4(interleukin-4) gene specific DNA methylation levels in CD4+T cells from 35 patients with AR and 30 healthy controls. mRNA levels of IL-4 gene were measured by real-time reverse transcriptase-PCR. Methods of personal exposure assessment of PM2.5 and PM10 were measured.RESULTS Compared with controls, IL-4 promoter region was hypomethylated in AR CD4+T cells(P=0.038). Of all observed CpG sites in IL-4 promoter region, there was significant differences in CpG-48, CpG+54(P=0.041, 0.032). IL-4 mRNA expression was significantly increased in CD4+T cells(P=0.039). The level of IL-4 mRNA expression was negatively correlated to the mean level of methylation in IL-4 promoter region. After adjusting, level of PM10 exposure was negatively correlated with level of methylation in IL-4 promoter region(r2=0.419,β=-0.470,SD=0.781,P=0.045). CONCLUSION Level of methylation in IL-4 promoter region may be affected by PM10 exposure.
