OBJECTIVE:The preparation of microspheres was optimized by central composite design in order to improve the lung targeting of tetrandrine chitosa microspheres. METHODS:Microspheres were prepared using an emulsion-chemical crosslink technique.Effects of three independent variables i.e. weight percent of tetrandrine and christon, volume percent of water phase and organic phase and christon concentration in aqueous phase were investigated on four response variables.Response variables selected in the research were yield,drug loading, envelop efficiency, mean diameter and span of dispersity.Second-order polynomial and linear equations were fitted to the data,and the resulting equations were used to produce three dimensional response surface graphs,by which optimal experimental conditions were selected. RESULTS:Five response variables were found to be dependent on three independent variables. According to optimal experimental conditions.An optimized formulation contained weight percent of tetrandrine and christon was 61.97%, volume percent of water phase and organic phase was 13.51% and christon concentration in aqueous phase was 2.37%. CONCLUSION:The central composite design can be used to optimazation of preparation formulation,diameter of the microspheres optimized by it can meet the demands of lung-targeting.

Objective To explore the effects and mechanisms of urokinase-type plasminogen activator (uPA) on high glucose-induced rat mesangial cells proliferation and phenotype transformation. Methods Rat mesangial cells were cultured and incubated in media containing either 5 mmol/L D-glucose or 30 mmol/L D-glucose with or without addition of wortmannin, or uPA (105 U/L) for different time periods. At the end of the incubation period, mesangial cells proliferation was assessed by MTT assay and flow cytometric analysis. Cyclin-dependent kinase 2 (CDK2) and p27kip1 expression and activation of Akt were evaluated by Western blotting and Akt kinase assay respectively. Furthermore, the expression and distribution of α-SMA were detected with laser confocal microscopy. Results MTT assay and flow cytometric analysis demonstrated that high glucose induced mesangial cells proliferation (P＜0.05) and an incresed proportion of cells in G2/M+S stage after 24 h incubation (P＜0.01), which were attenuated by uPA or wortmannin (P＜0.01). High glucose induced the enhance of Akt activity after 3 h (P＜0.05), and the effect was inhibited by wortmannin or uPA (P＜0.01). High glucose did not alter CDK2 expression (P＞0.05),but significantly inhibited p27kip1 expression (P＜0.05), which was attenuated by wortmannin or uPA (P＜0.01). High glucose induced the up-regulation of α-SMA expression and perinucleus location in mesangial cells after 24 h (P＜0.01), which were alleviated by wortmannin or uPA (P＜0.01). Conclusion uPA up-regulates p27kip1 expression and counteracts high glucose-induced mesangial cells proliferation and phenotype transformation via blocking PI3K-Akt signaling pathway.

Objective: To evaluate the role of the MAPK subtypes (p38MAPK, ERK and JNK) in ANG Ⅱ induced apoptosis of cultured human podocytes. Methods: The cultured podocytes were incubated in media containing either vehicle, SB202190(5 ?mol/L, an inhibitor of p38MAPK), PD98059 (1 ?mol/L, an inhibitor of ERK), SP600125 (5 ?mol/L, an inhibitor of JNK), ANG Ⅱ (10 -8 mol/L) with or without SB202190、PD98059 and SP600125 for 18 hours; the cells were assayed for apoptosis by morphologic staining with H 33342 and propidium iodide and DNA fragmentation assays; the cell proteins were probed for phosphorylated MAPKs to determine the activation of specific MAPK subtypes. Results: ANG Ⅱ promoted podocyte apoptosis in a time and dose dependent manner; ANG Ⅱ stimulated p38MAPK, but inhibited JNK; SB202190 inhibited both ANG Ⅱ induced podocyte apoptosis and p38MAPK phosphorylation; Inhibition of ERK by PD98059 had no effect on ANG Ⅱ induced cell apoptosis. Conclusion: ANG Ⅱ induced apoptosis through stimulation of p38MAPK and inhibition of JNK in human podocytes.

Objective To investigate the effects of hyperglycemia on ubiquitination and endoplasmic reticulum stress in renal intrinsic cells (podocytes and proximal tubular epithelial cells)and its role in pathogenesis of diabetic nephropathy.Methods Diabetic mice were induced by streptozotocin injection.After 16 weeks of hyperglycemia,immunofluorescence was used to detect the expressions of ubiquitination and glucose-regulating protein 94 (GRP94) in renal cortex and medulla area of kidney sections.Primary mouse podocyte and proximal tubular epithelial cells were isolated by flow cytometry,and exposed to 30 mmol/L glucose for indicated time (1 d,3 d and 7 d).Their ubiquitination and GRP94 expressions were evaluated by Western blotting.Results Diabetic mice presented microalbuminuria and slightly widened mesangium was found in glomerular area.Ubiquitinated proteins,mainly localized in podocytes and tubular epithelial cells,exhibited an apparently higher expression in diabetic mice than control mice (all P ＜ 0.05).Hyperglycemia promoted the ubiquitination in a time-dependent manner.Compared with their normal cells,primary mouse podocyte and primary tubular epithilial cells treated with high glucose for 3 d and 7 d showed increased ubiquitinated protein (all P ＜ 0.05).GRP94 was interspersed in podocytes and proximal tubular epithelial cells.Expression of GRP94 was significantly increased in glomerular area of diabetic mice and podocyte with 3 and 7 day-high glucose as compared with those in their control groups (all P ＜ 0.05).GRP94 expression had no significant change in tubular area and tubular epithilial cells treated with high glucose.Conclusions Hyperglycemia may lead to accumulation of ubiquitinated proteins in intrinsic kidney cells.The imbalance of protein homeostasis in podocyte may contribute to podocyte injury during the onset of diabetic nephropathy.
