Objective: To study the expression of calcium-sensing receptor (CaR) in human macrophages and the effect of CaR on macrophages converting to foam cells with its mechanism. Methods: Human macrophages were treated with ox-LDL (100 mg/L) for 48 h to induce foam cell formation, the experimental foam cells were cultured in 3 groups for 48 h respectively. Blank control group, Foam cell + CaR agonists (Agonists) group and Foam cell + CaR inhibitor (Inhibitor) group. The CaR expression in macrophages was measured by immuno-fluorescence and Western blot analysis. The positive foam cell formation was detected by oil red O staining, the intracellular cholesterol metabolism in foam cell was observed by HPLC, the inlfammatory cytokine secretion in foam cell culture supernatant was examined by ELISA, the protein expressions of CD36 and acyl-coA: cholesterol acyl-transferase (ACAT-1) in foam cells was measured by Western blot analysis. Results: Immuno-lfuorescence and Western blot indicated CaR is expressed in human macrophages. Compared with Control group, Oil Red O staining and HPLC showed that Agonists group had less positive foam cell formation, decreased CE, FC , TC, and Inhibitor group had more positive foam cell formation, increased CE, FC, TC, allP<0.05; ELISA presented that Agonists group had decreased TNF-α, MIF, increased anti-inflammatory cytokine IL-10, and Inhibitor group had increased TNF-α, MIF, decreased IL-10, allP<0.05; Western blot analysis indicated that Agonists group had decreased protein expressions of CD36, ACAT-1 in foam cells, and Inhibitor group had increased protein expressions of CD36 and ACAT-1. Conclusion: CaR is expressed in human macrophages, the higher CaR expression may inhibit macrophages converting to foam cells.

Objective To investigate the impact and clinical significance of helicobacter pylori (Hp) elimination on ghrelin. Methods Forty patients with chronic superficial gastritis (CSG), 42 patients with chronic atrophic gastritis (CAG), 41 patients with peptic ulcer (PU) and 17 patients with gastric adenocarcinoma (CA) were included in this study. All of pa-tients in four groups were Hp-positive. Forty patients with Hp-negative were used as control. The Hp elimination were only performed in CAG,CSG and PU groups. The serum ghrelin and pepsinogen (PG) levels before and after Hp elimination were detected with ELISA assay in CSG, CAG and PU groups. The correlation between PG and glrelin was also detected. The ex-pression of ghrelin in gastric mucosa was detected by RT-PCR. Results Comparing with control group (30.41 ± 8.97), the ghrelin level was increased in PU group (35.42±9.87), but which were decreased in CAG group (18.59±8.19) and CA group (18.33±6.88). There was no significant difference in ghrelin level between CSG group (26.08±9.14) and control group. After Hp elimination, the serum and gastric mucosa ghrelin levels were significantly increased in CSG group (P＜0.01), but both serum and gastric mucosa ghrelin levels were significantly decreased in PU group (P＜0.01). And no significant difference in the level of ghrelin after Hp elimination in CAG group (P>0.05). A positive correlation was found between serum PGⅠ/PGⅡand serum ghrelin level in CSG, CAG and CA groups (r=0.668,P＜0.01). Conclusion Hp elimination has an impact on ghrelin level in patients with upper gastrointestinal diseases. The changes of ghrelin level related to PGⅠ/PGⅡ. Ghrelin can be used as one of the indexes of diagnostic and prognostic evaluation in Hp related upper gastrointestinal diseases.

BACKGROUND: Bone marrow stromal stem cells (BMSCs) are characterized by rapid amplification and wide differentiation.Thus, to establish in vitro BMSC induction models contributes to the study of tissue engineering.OBJECTIVE: To investigate the possibility of inducing the differentiation of rat BMSCs into cardiomyocytes by 5-azacitidine in vitro.OESING, TIME AND SETTING: The cytological in vitro study was performed at the Central Laboratory of First Affiliated Hospital of Liaoning Medical University from June 2005 to June 2008.MATERIALS: A total of 20 Sprague Dawley rats were supplied by the Experimental Animal Center, Liaoning Medical University.5-azacitidine (Sigma, USA) was used.MHEHODS: Following anesthesia, the rats were used to isolate the femur and tibia. BMSCs were isolated and cultured by the whole bone marrow method + adherent method. When 90% BMSCs were confluence, BMSCs were passaged. BMSCs at the third passage were incubated in a 24-well plate at 2×10~4/well, with 5,10, 15, 20 μmol/L 5-azacitidine. Simultaneously, a blank control group (without inductor) was set. Following 24 hours of induction, BMSCs were incubated in normal medium for 3 weeks.MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: The following parameters were measured: cell appearance and growth curve, morphological changes following induction, and expression of connexin-43 and a-striated muscle actin.RESULTS: Cultured BMSCs were spindle-shape, with some cell confluence. P3 cells following incubation entered static phase at 1 and 2 days, and entered logarithmic phase at 3 days, reached a peak at 9 days, and then entered platform stage. Cell number became decreased at 12 days. Following induction of 5 μmol/L 5-azacitidine, no significant difference was found in BMSCs.Following induction of 10 μmol/L 5-azacitidine, BMSCs became long and big, extended towards a direction, with the property of myotube formation cells. Following induction of 15 umol/L 5-azacitidine, a few cells survived surrounding the 24-well plate.Following induction of 20 μmol/L 5-azacitidine, cells died. Following induction of 10 μmol/L 5-azacitidine for 3 weeks, expression of connexin-43 and a-striated muscle actin was determined in BMSCs. However, a negative expression was detected in the blank control group.CONCLUSION: BMSCs cannot differentiate into cardiomyocytes by itself. Following in vitro induction, BMSCs can differentiate into cardiomyocytes. Low-dose 5-azacitidine concentration cannot induce the differentiation, but high-dose 5-azacitidine concentration will induce death in a large number of cells. Thus, 10 μmol/L is an optimal concentration.
