Objective To explore the effects and the molecular mechanism of synergistic hepatocarcinogenesis of HBV and AFB1 in the development of HCC by studying the difference in protein expression profiles in hepatocellular carcinoma exposed to hepatitis B virus and Aflatoxin B1.Method 32 HCC specimens were labeled under four categories based on their biomarkers of HBV and AFB1 exposure:group A:HBV(+)/AFB1 (+),10 cases,group B:HBV(+)/AFB1 (-),10 cases,group C:HBV(-)/AFB1(+),6 cases,groupD:HBV(-)/AFB1(-),6 cases.Normal hepatic tissues from 10 cases of hepatic hemangioma,liver resection and liver transplant donor were chosen as the normal control group.Isobaric Tagging Reagent Quantitative (iTRAQ) Proteomics together with 2DLC MS/MS were applied to analyze the differentially expressed proteins among the 4 groups.Result (1) A total of 117 unique differentially expressed proteins including 53 up-regulated proteins and 64 down-regulated proteins were identified in the four groups.The number of unique differentially expressed proteins,including up-regulated and down-regulated proteins,in group A,group B,group C and group D were 106,97,104 and 74 respectively.(2) Among the 117 differentially expressed proteins,9 proteins were heat shock proteins or chaperones,and they were up regulated in group A,B and C.Besides,15 proteins were detoxification and drug metabolism pathway related proteins,12 of them were down-regulated in group A,and more than half of them were also down-regulated in group B and C.(3) The Reverse Transcriptase PCR result showed the mean expression level of AKR1B10 mRNA in group A was significantly higher than group B,C and D (all P＜0.05,respectively).Group C also showed significantly a higher expression level of AKR1B10 mRNA than group D (P＜0.05).The Western-blot results showed the mean expression level of AKR1B10 protein in group A was significantly higher than group B and D (all P＜0.05,respectively).Conclusions The up-regulated expression of heat shock protein and the down-regulated expression of most protein enzymes related to detoxification and drug metabolism were the common molecular biological events of HCC associated with exposure to HBV and AFB1.This suggested the synergistic hepatocarcinogenesis effects of HBV and AFB1 may be related to dysregulation of protein enzymes related to detoxification and drug metabolism.The overexpression of AKR1B10 may be involved in the AFB1-related hepatocarcinogenesis process.

Objective To explore the feasibility and safety of cotransplantation of autologous bone marrow-derived mesenehymal stem cells (MSCs) and peripheral blood stem cells in hematological malignant diseases and to observe its effect on hematopoietic reconstruction after cotransplantation. Methods Adult human MSCs were isolated from the healthy bone marrow of the patient himself with Percoll (1. 073 g/ml) and cultured in Dulbecco's modified Eagle's medium with low glucose containing 10% AB type human serum. After conditioning regimen of high-dose chemotherapy and radiotherapy, cotransplantation of autologous bone marrow-derived MSCs and peripheral blood stem cells was done in five patients with hematological malignant diseases. Results The process of the infusion was safe and there were no adverse reactions or other toxicities related to the infustion of MSCs. The median time to achieve neutrophil counts greater than 0. 5 × 109/L was 9.4 days ( ranging from 8 to 11 days) after cotransplantation and platelet counts greater than 20 × 109/L 12. 2 days (ranging from 10 to 14 days). Conclusion Cotransplantation of autologous bone marrow-derived MSCs and peripheral blood stem cells in hematological malignant diseases is feasible and safe. The rapid hematopoietic reconstruction after cotransplantation shows that MSCs have an effect on hematopeiesis, but the mechanism is still to be investigated.

BACKGROUND: Preliminary study has proven that adult human bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) suppress peripheral blood lymphocytes proliferation.But the mechanism was still to be investigated.OBJECTIVE: To study the negatively regulatory effect of adult human MSCs on allogeneic lymphocyte proliferation by cell-free condition.DESIGN,TIME AND SETTING: Cytological observation in vitro,which was performed in the Lanzhou General Hospital,Lanzhou Military Area Command of Chinese PLA between October 2005 and December 2007.MATERIALS: The bone marrow sample was provided by the allo-transplantation donor.The peripheral blood lymphocytes were provided by the healthy volunteer.METHODS: Adult human MSCs were separated with Percoll + adherence method.Allogeneic peripheral blood lymphocytes were obtained from healthy donors with Ficoll solution and the cell concentration was adjusted as 2×109/L for use.100μ L MSCs culture supernatant was taken out in 96-well plates.The groups were following: A superuatant + 3-day MSCs culture media (100 μ L/well); B superuatant + phytohemagglutini (PHA; 1 g/L,5 μ L); C medium + LG-DMEM culture media containing 10% fetal bovine serum (100 μ L); D medium + PHA (1 g/L,5 μ L).The cells were incubated at 37 ℃ with 5% CO2 in a fully humidified atmosphere for three days.MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Effect of MSCs supematant on proliferation and transformation of variant lymphocytes.RESULTS: Peripheral blood lymphocytes proliferation was suppressed as compared with the blank control group and PHA group after MSCs culture,and the inhibition ratio was 9.00% (P ＜ 0.05).When lymphocytes were stimulated by PHA,the suppression effects were even stronger and the inhibition ratio was 20.91% (P ＜ 0.01).CONCLUSION: Adult human MSCs supernatant can suppress peripheral blood lymphocytes proliferation and transformation; furthermore,PHA can enhance the inhibitory effect,suggesting the negative regulation is at least in part due to indirectly inhibiting lymphocytes via soluble cytokines.
