Objective To develop miniature pig model of coronary microembolization (CME) by easy and cost-effi-cient technique. Methods A total of 11 miniature pigs were divided into control group (n=5) and CME group (n=6). Femo-ral artery was punctured using 21 gauge needle that is normally used for transradial procedures. Microspheres were injected into the left anterior descending artery of the CME group by 5 F coronary radiography catheter and 1.8 F coronary micro-guide catheter. Serum concentrations of brain natriuretic peptide (BNP) and cardiac troponin I (cTnI) were evaluated just be-fore CME and 6 hours after CME. Apical myocardial pathological lesions were evaluated by optical microscope 6 hours after CME. Results All miniature pigs in control group survived, but one died in the CME group. 5 F coronary radiography cathe-ter and 1.8 F coronary micro-guide catheter reached designated location successfully. Before CME, serum BNP (ng/L:143.00 ± 13.51 vs 134.00 ± 15.57) and cTnI (μg/L:0.39 ± 0.09 vs 0.38 ± 0.10) showed no significant differences between these two groups (t values are 0.976 and 0.294 respectively,both P>0.05). By contrast, serum BNP (561.00 ± 80.65) and cTnI (2.75±0.58) were much higher in CME group than those (BNP 139.00±13.87;cTnI 0.54±0.14 ) in control group after CME (t values are 11.530 and 8.337 respectively,both P＜0.001). In CME group, microspheres, micro-infarction and inflammatory cell infiltration were seen under an optical microscope which are absent in control group. Conclusion Using new surgical consumables can successfully develop miniature pig model with CME. And the technique is simple, cost-efficient, practical so it is worth promoting.

Objective To study the immunoregulatory effects of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (MSC) on allogeneic peripheral B lymphocytes in vitro. Methods MSCs were isolated and cultured from bone marrow by gradient centrifugation. Mononuclear cells were isolated routinely from peripheral blood, then monocytes were eliminated by L-leucine methy ester method. Remained T lymphocytes were eliminated by AET-SRBC rosette method. The action of MSCs and its supernatant on B lymphocytes proliferation in the presence of anti-human IgM goat antibodies (anti-IgM) was investigated by MTT. The IgG, IgM in the supernatant were detected by ELISA. The percent of apoptosis B lymphocytes, co-cultured with MSCs for 24 or 48h, was assayed by FACS. Results MSCs and its supernatant inhibited B lymphocytes proliferation and Ig secretion. The inhibitory effect depended on the amount of MSCs and condition of its supernatant. The date of FACS indicated that the apoptosis ratio of B lymphocytes, co-cultured with MSCs for different times, were non-significant. The inhibitory effect of MSCs on B lymphocytes was temporary and reversible. Conclusion MSCs have immunoregulatory effects on B lymphocytes, and its mechanisms are complex, not only correlating with the concentration of MSCs but also the action between cells and the secretory cytokine of MSCs.

Objective To investigate whether pantoprazole (PPZ), a proton pump inhibitor,could reverse the transmember pH gradient by inhibiting vacuolar H+-ATPase so as to increase the sensitivity of human gastric adenocarcinoma cell line SGC7901 to antitumor drugs and to evaluate the optimal time of drug administration, dosage of PPZ and the possible mechanism. Methods Western blotting and immunofluorescent staining were used to determine the expression and intracellular distribution of vacuolar H+-ATPase in human gastric adenocarcinoma cell line SGC7901 with or without PPZ pretreatment. 2', 7'-bis-(2-carboxyethyl)-5-(and-6)-carboxyfluorescein, acetoxymethyl ester (BCECF-AM) fluorescent probe was used to measure the intracellular pH value of human gastric adenocarcinoma cell line SGC7901 which pretreated with different dose and time of PPI. Methyl thiazolyl tetrazolium (MTT) assay and annexin V-fluorescent isothiocyanate-propidium iodide double staining were performed to evaluate the cytotoxic effects and apoptosis of cells treated with antitumor drugs combined with PPZ. Adriamycin (ADR) was used as probe to estimate drug accumulation and retention with PPZ pretreatment. Results After 24 hours, the expression of vacuolar H+-ATPase in cells pretreated with PPZ of 10 μg/ml (1.19±0.03) or 100 μg/ml (0. 70±0.03) was significantly lower than that in blank control (1.53±0. 05), but this expression was increased by pretreatment with PPZ of 1 μg/ml (2.29 +0.06, P<0.05). The inhibitory effects of PPZ (10 μg/ml) on vacuolar H+-ATPase was observed at 6 hours (0.32±0.02)and 12 hours (0. 13±0.02). And it could alter the intracellular distribution of vacuolar H+-ATPase at 24-hours. The intracellular pH value in cells pretreated with PPZ of 10 μg/ml (7.44±0. 09 ) or 100 μg/ml (7.31 ± 0. 06) was significantly decreased in comparison with untreated cells (7.51±0.05, P< 0. 01). After administration of anti-tumor drugs, the viability in SGC7901 cells pretreated with PPZ for 24 hours (58.71%±1.18 %) was significantly lower than that in cells untreated with PPZ (74. 33% ± 1.77%, P<0.05), while thetotal and early apoptotic rates in former cells(80.81% ±1. 16% and 77.52 %±1.13 %, respectively) were significantly higher than those in later cells (26. 42%±1.19% and 23. 18% ±0.92%,respectively,P < 0. 01). And the ADR releasing index in cells treated with PPZ (20, 50 and 100 μg/ml) for 24 hours was obviously lower than that in the blank control (0. 164±0. 013, 0. 162±0.015, 0. 152±0. 012 vs 0. 277±0. 011, respectively, P<0. 01). Conclusion The sensitivity of human gastric adenocarcinoma cell line to antitumor drugs may be increased by pretreatment with PPZ.

Objective To investigate the direct inhibitory effects of 153Sm- DTPA-c (Cys-Gly-Arg-Arg-Ala-Gly-Gly-Ser-Cys) NH2 ( 153 Sm-DTPA-c (CGRRAGGSC)) on human prostate cancer PC-3 cells. Methods 153Sm-DTPA-c(CGRRAGGSC) was synthesized by the reaction of 153SmCl3 with DTPA-c(CGRRAGGSC) using indirect synthesis method. PC-3 cells in vitro culture were divided into four study groups, groug A ( the control, with PBS only), group B with 1.5 mg/L c ( CGRRAGGSC), group C with 370 kBq 153 SmCl3 and group D with 370 kBq 153Sm-DTPA-c(CGRRAGGSC). PC-3 cell growth was assayed by 3-(4, 5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl ) -2, 5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide (MTT) method. Cell cycle and apoptosis were analyzed by flow cytometry. The expression changes of interleukin 11 (IL11 ) and IL11 receptor (IL1 1 R) in PC-3 cells were examined by Western Blot. One way analysis of variance (ANOVA) and paired-t test were applied for statistic analysis. Results The labeling yield of 153Sm-DTPA-c (CGRRAGGSC) was 85% and the radiochemical purity was 95.8%. The specific activity of 153Sm-DTPA-c(CGRRAGGSC) was 1.32 × 105 MBq/μmol. Significant inhibitory effects on the growth of PC-3 cells were found in both group C and D, with a time-dependent manner. However, no obvious inhibition was found either in group A or in group B. After 48 h,significant differences of sub-G1 peak area were found among groups, (0. 98 ± 0. 18)%, (0. 35 ±0. 10)%, (4.05 ±0.28)% and (13.38 ±0. 89)% for group A, B, C and D, respectively. Furthermore,sexpression of ILl 1R in group D was significantly lower than that in group B and C with absorbance values 0. 339 ~ 0.014, 0.338 ~ 0.019, 0.226 ~ 0. 015 for group B, C and D, respectively. Absorbance values in groups B and C were not significantly different after treatment, compared with those before treatment; however, there was difference between absorbance values after and before treatment in group D ( t = 0. 405,1. 163,135.989,P>0.05 >0.05, <0.05). Conchluion 153Sm-DTPA-c(CGRRAGGSC) can directly in hibit the cell growth and expression of human prostate cancer cells PC-3.
