A Review: A concept of tissue adaptation to hypoxia (i. e. hypoxic preconditioning) was developed and its corresponding animal models were reproduced in 1966s. The methods of model reproduction in rat, rabbit, and mouse in particular and the main results are briefly introduced in this review. The tolerance to hypoxia of preconditioned animals is significantly increased. Regular changes in animals' behavior, neurophysiology, respiratory and circulatory physiology, neuron morphology in vivo and function of brain and spinal cord in vitro are briefly demonstrated. The protective effects in vivo and in vitro of homogenate extract taken from the brain of preconditioned animals, neurochemicals and molecular neurobiological alterations are briefly presented. The essence and significance of tissue adaptation to hypoxia/hypoxic preconditioning are discussed in the review in terms of evolution and practical implication.

Objectives To explore the role of PKCβ/p66Shc oxidative stress signaling pathway in hyperoxia-induced apoptosis of alveolar epithelial cells A549. Methods A549 cells were cultured in vitro and divided randomly into control (incubated with 5%CO2), hyperoxia group (exposed to a mixture of 900 ml/L O2 and 50 ml/L CO2 at speed of 3 L/min for 10 mins, then cultured in a closed environment) and LY333531 group (treated with 10μmol/L of PKCβinhibitor LY333531 for 24h then induced with hyperoxia for 10 mins). The cellular morphology was observed under inverted microscope at 12, 24 and 48 h of treatment. The cell apoptosis was detected by lfow cytometry. Expression of PKCβ/Pin1/p66Shc/p66Shc-Ser36 were detected by immunohistochemistry after 24 h of treatment. Results Comparing to the control group, the cellular morphology of A549 in the hyperoxia group changed to spherical shapes and space between cells increased, the living cell count decreased and suspension cell increased. The living cell count in LY333531 group increased and suspension cell decreased than those in hyperoxia group but not reach the levels of the control group. The apoptosis rate of A549 cells and the expression of PKCβ/Pin1/p66Shc/p66Shc-Ser36 at 24 h were signiifcantly increased in the hyperoxia group than those in the control group, while the apoptosis rate and the expression of PKCβ/Pin1/p66Shc/p66Shc-Ser36 were greatly decreased in the LY333531 group than those in the hyperoxia group (all P<0.01). Conclusions The expression of PKCβin A549 cells can be increased by the hyper-oxia induction but reduced by LY333531, and then the expressions of Pin1, p66Shc and p66Shc-Ser36 are reduced. Thus the re-duced apoptosis of A549 cells relieve the cell injury induced by hyperoxia.

The biological activity of ADCC by anti-CD20 monoclonal antibody was determined by BioGlo™ Luciferase Assay System using Jurkat/NFAT-luc+FcγRIIIa cell line as effector cell and WIL2-S cell line as target cell. The developed method was verified for specificity, precision and accuracy. Anti-CD20 monoclonal antibody showed a dose-response mode by the developed method, and the determination result complied with the following four-parameter equation: y = (A-D)/[1 + (X/C)(B)] + D. The optimized parameters of the method were determined including the antibodies diluted concentration (18,000 ng·mL(-1)), dilution rate (1:5), the ratio of effector cell and target cell (6:1), and induction time (6 h). The values of eight independent tests have passed a statistical test for curve regression analysis, linear or parallelism, which showed the method possessed good specificity. Four different dilute groups of recovery rates sample were determined for 3 times, and the result showed mean relative potencies of (44.39±3.93)%, (72.74±2.78)%, (128.28±7.01)% and (168.19±2.70)% respectively, with a variation coefficient of less than 10%, and the recoveries of (88.78±7.85)%, (96.99±3.70)%, (102.63±5.61)% and (112.12±1.80)% respectively. A novel reporter gene method for determination of biological activity of ADCC by anti-CD20 monoclonal antibody was successfully developed, which showed strong specificity, good reproducibility and high accuracy, and might be used routinely.
