Objective To elucidate the expression of Toll-like receptor 3 (TLR3) on dendritic cells(DCs) in patients with chronic hepatitis B (CHB), and to explore the correlation between hepatitis B virus (HBV) persistent infection and TLR3 expression. Methods Sixty CHB patients (CHB group) and 20 healthy controls (control group) were enrolled. The peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) were isolated and CD14~+ monocytes were sorted by immunomagnetic beads. Immature DCs (imDC) were induced and proliferated in vitro and mature DCs (mDC) were obtained after the poly I:C stimulation. The expression of intracellular TLR3 mRNA was detected by real-time polymerase chain reaction (PCR), and surface markers [CD80 and human leucocyte antigen (HLA)-DR] were determined by flow cytometry after 48 h of stimulation. The comparison of quantitative data was done using t test. The qualitative data were compared using chi-square test.Results The mean fluorescence intensities (MFI) of intracellular TLR3 of imDC before poly I:C stimulation in CHB group and control group were 1212.05 ± 250.80 and 1192.95 ± 301.40,respectively, which were not significantly different (t = 0. 280, P>0. 05). While after stimulation,those were 1352.98± 313.67 and 1593. 00± 349. 65, respectively, the latter was significantly higher than the former (t = 2. 880, P<0. 05). The levels of TLR3 mRNA inside mDCs in both groups were increased after poly I:C stimulation, which were 0. 1204 ±0.0267 and 0. 1780 ± 0.0664, respectively in CHB group and control group, and that in control group was significantly higher (t = 3. 909, P<0.05). Furtherly, patients in CHB group were divided into HBeAg(+ ) and HBeAg( -) subgroups.After stimulation, the MFI and mRNA of TLR3 inside mDC were greatly elevated in both subgroups,but there were no difference between these two subgroups (t = 0. 366, P>0. 05). Conclusions The intracellular expressions of TLR3 in mDC in CHB group and control group are obviously increased after the poly I:C stimulation, but the increased level in CHB group is lower than that in control group. The results suggest that the insufficiency of TLR3 synthesis may be related to the HBVpersistent infection.

Objective To detect the expression of type Ⅰ interferon in monocyte-derived dendritic cells(MoDCs)after Toll like receptor(TLR)3 triggered in patients with chronic hepatitis B(CHB),and to evaluate immune responses of CHB patients and its roles in the mechanisms of persistent infection of hepatitis B virus(HBV)and chronicity of hepatitis.Methods Peripheral blood mononuclear cells(PBMCs)were isolated and purified using magnetic beads(plasma was saved simultaneously)from 26 CHB patients and 18 healthy volunteers(HV).Dendritic cells(DCs)were induced and proliferated in a culture medium with recombinant human granulocyte macrophage colony stimulating factor(rhGM-CSF)and recombinant human interleukin(rhIL-4).EX3s were stimulated with Poly Ⅰ:C and the supernatants were collected at 0 h and 24 h after stimulation.Type Ⅰ interferon(IFN-α and IFN-β)in plasma and supernatants were examined by enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA).Results The levels of type Ⅰ interferon in plasma were not significantly different in groups of HV and CH B.IFN-α and IFN-β expressions in supernatants before Poly Ⅰ:C stimulation were(80.00±16.15)ng/L,(36.39±13.90)ng/L in CHB group and(76.76±15.90)ng/L,(37.14±13.68)ng/L in HV group,respectively.And there were no statistical differences between two groups(t=1.651,t=0.178;both P＞0.05).IFN-α expressions in supernatants at 24 h after stimulation in two groups were both higher than those before stimulation(at 0 h),but there were no statistical differences(t=1.534,t=1.243;both P＞0.05).IFN-β expressions in supernatants at 24 h after stimulation in HV group was(54.57±16.80)ng/L,which was significantly higher than that at 0 h(37.14±13.68)ng/L(t=4.061,P＜0.05).However,there was no significant difference at 24 h than tht at 0 h in CHB group(t=1.796,P＞0.05).At 24 h after stimulation.IFN-β level was(54.57±16.80)ng/L in HV group,which was significantly higher than that[(41.64±12.57)ng/L]in CHB group(t=2.921,P＜0.05).Conclusions Functions of MoDCs from CHB patients are impaired and MoDCs could not express type Ⅰ interferon normally.Expression of type Ⅰ interferon after TLR3 triggered in CHB patients is mainly IFN-β.

Objective:To explore the ameliorative effect and machanism of MSCs conditioned medium on the ovarian granulosa cells damage induced by triptolide.Methods: Cell Counting Kit 8 assay was used to examine the cell vitality of KGNs with the treatment of triptolide.The mixed enzyme digestion method were used for the isolation of human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs),and flow cytometry was used for the subsequent immunotype identification.MSCs conditioned medium was collected ,and Cell Counting Kit 8 assay and PI staining was used to analyse the effect of MSCs conditioned medium on the cell vitality and cell cycle distri -bution of triptolide-damaged KGN.Real-time PCR method was used to examine the expression of cell cycle related gene CDKN1A.Results:Triptolide can inhibit KGN cell growth with the inhibition of cell vitality and cell cycle of KGN.MSCs conditioned medium did not influence the proliferation and cell cycle of normal KGN , but improved the triptolide-induced vitality inhibition and extent of S-phase arrest, and inhibit the abnormal up-regulation of CDKN1A in KGN.Conclusion: MSCs conditioned medium ameliorated the KGN cell damage induced by triptolide.

Objective To investigate the frequencies of circulating dendritic cell (DC) subsets and the function of monocyte-derived dendritic cells in patients with hepatitis B-related acute-on-chronic liver failure.Methods Peripheral blood was collected from hepatitis B-related acute-on-chronic liver failure patients (ACLF,n =40) and chronic hepatitis B (CHB,n =40) as well as normal controls (NCs,n =20).Circulating myeloid dendritic cell (Mdc) and plasmic dendritic cell (pDC) frequencies in peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) were analyzed by flow cytometric analysis.Purified monocytes were isolated by combination of Histopaque-1.077 and CD14 Microbeads.Monocyte-derived dendritic cells (MoDCs) generated in vitro in the presence of interleukin (IL)-4 and granulocyte macrophage colony-stimulating factor upon activation by poly I:C.Costimulatory molecule expression and allostimulatory mixed lymphocyte reaction (AMLR) of MoDCs were detected in patients with hepatitis B-related ACLF.Results The number of circulating mDC decreased only in patients with hepatitis B-related ACLF compared with that in normal controls.However,pDC numbers decreased in both CHB and ACLF patients.We observed a further decrease the pDC numbers in ACLF compared to CHB patients without statistical significance (P ＞ 0.05).MoDC from ACLF patients showed lower expression of costimulatory molecules CD80,CD86 and the mature marker CD83,as well as MHC Ⅱ molecule (HLA-DR) compared to CHB and NC group.Interestingly,MoDC impaired allostimulatory mixed lymphocyte reaction from ACLF patients compared to those in CHB patients and NCs.Conclusions Patients with hepatitis B-related ACLF have a significantly lower expression of surface markers and impaired AMLR of MoDC,as well as decreased number of circulating mDC and pDC,which may be partially related to HBV disease progression in these patients.

Objective To investigate the inlfuence of overexpression of miR-26b on the secretion of adipokines dur-ing human adipocyte differentiation. Methods Human preadipocytes were infected with the hsa-miR-26b over-expressing lentivirus and were induced to differentiate, and then the levels of adipokines (IL-6, leptin, resistin, TNF-α) at different time points during differentiation were measured by ELISA. Results Compared with control group, decreased secretions of both IL-6 and leptin, and increased secretion of resistin were found during the differentiation of human adipocytes in miR-26b overexpressed group. However, the secretion of TNF-αwas not measured in both groups. Conclusion The miR-26b can improve the inlfammation and insulin resistance of human adipocytes, which will provide potential targets for obesity treat-ment.

Objective To understand the immune regulatory function of monocyte-derived dendritic cells (MoDC) in patients with chronic severe hepatitis B (CSHB) and its roles in the severe illness progression of chronic hepatitis B (CHB) by detecting surface phenotype of MoDC and expression level of cytokines in MoDC after polyl : C treatment. Methods The peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) were isolated by Ficoll density gradient separation from 37 patients with CSHB, 20 patients with CHB, and 20 healthy controls (NC). Purified PBMC were acquired using immunomagnetic anti-CD14-beads. Then PBMC were induced to immature dendritic cell (iDC) in vitro. PolyI : C was added to induce DC maturation. The mean fluorescence intensity (MFI) of the phenotype marker molecules including HLA-DR, CD83, CD86 and CD80 on surface of iDC and mature DC (mDC) were detected by flow cytometry. The supernatants of MoDC culture were collected at 12,24 and 48 h after polyI : C treatment, respectively and the release levels of interleukin (IL)-12, IL-6and tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α were determined by enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Comparisons among groups were done by single factor analysis of variance and homogeneity of variance was tested. Results There were no significant differences of phenotype marker molecules on cell surface of iDC, including HLA-DR, CD83, CD86 and CD80 in CSHB, CHB and NC groups.However, the expressions of HLA-DR, CD83, CD86 and CD80 on cell surface of mDC in CSHB group were lower than those in CHB and NC groups (F=59.73, 13.95, 34.80 and 73.02, respectively; all P＜0. 05). The secretions of IL-12 at three time points of 12 h, 24 h and 48 h after polyI : C treatment in group NC were higher than those in CHB and CSHB groups (F= 151.34, 126.65 and 72.76, respectively; P＜0.05), and peaked at 24 h which were (48.2±7.6), (56.7±11.8) and (97.8±16.2) ng/L, respectively. The secretions of IL-6 at the above three time points were CSHB＞CHB＞NC (F=92.50, 86.89 and 64.57, respectively; all P＜0. 05) and peaked at 12 h which were (1698.3±340.4), (965.8±231.7), (697.8±213.6) ng/L, respectively. The secretions of TNF-αat the above three time points were CSHB＞CHB＞NC (F=58.66, 122.36 and 44.73, respectively;all P＜0. 05) and were (19 672. 7±4214. 7), (9946. 1 ± 2586 5), (6659. 2±955. 8) ng/L,respectively at 24 h after treatment. Conclusions MoDCs of CSHB patients show mature defection and abnormal cytokine secretion. The expression level of IL-12 which mediates cellular immune is low.Meanwhile, the productions of IL-6 and TNF-α which mediate inflammatory response are up-regulated. This may be one of the major factors which lead to exacerbation of liver inflammation and ultimately development of severe hepatitis.

Objective To estimate the clinical value of thinprep cytologic test (TCT) in screening cervical lesion. Methods 4234 TCT samples were interpreted according to the Besthesda System (TBS), 272positive cases (ASC-US or above) were taken colposcopic examination and biopsy. Results The coincidence of the results between TCT and biopsy in low-grade squamous intraepithelial lesion (LSIL), high-grade squamous intraepithelial lesion (HSIL), squamous cell carcinoma (SCC), adenocarcinoma (AC) were 85.71%(12/14), 100 % (20/20), 75 % (3/4) and 100 % (2/2), respectively. The positive rates of over ASC-H by TCT and of over CIN Ⅰ by biopsy were 23.16 % (63/272) and 24.26 % (66/272), respectively. There is no difference between two positive rates (x2 = 0.868, P = 0.581). Conclusion TCT and histopathological diagnosis had a high coincidence, a combination of both can greatly enhance HSIL and cervical cancer and reduce the incidence of missed diagnosis. TCT would be a rapid and convenient method for screening cervical cancer.
