Objective To prepare recombinant adenovirus pAd-gal-9 containing murine galectin-9 and explore galectin-9's pro-apoptotic effect on T lymphocytes. Methods The recombinant adenovirus plas-mid pAd/CMV/V5-DEST-gal-9 was prepared by conventional molecular cloning and LR reaction. The pAd/ CMV/V5-DEST-gal-9 linearlized by Pac I was transfected into 293A cells with Lipofectin 2000. Eight days after transfection, the 293A cells were subjected to freeze/thraw circle for three times and the supernatant was collected after centrifugation. Higer titer pAd-gal-9 was produced by large-scale infection of 293A cells with the supernatant containing pAd-gal-9. The supernatant was condensed to get purified pAd-gal-9 by CsCl density gradient centrifugation. After titer determination with gradient dilution of harvested pAd-gal-9 infec-tion in 293A-seeded 96-wells, pAd-gal-9 was used to infect the CHO cell line. Immunohistological assay, Western blot and flow cytometry were employed to ascertain the subcellular location expression of galectin-9. We added solid-phase transgenic CHO cells or freshly-cultured supernatant to medium containing activated T cells to detect the pro-apoptotic effect of galectin-9. Results The pAd-gal-9 was prepared successful. Im-munohistochemical staining of CHO infected with pAd-gal-9 confirmed that galectin-9 was expressed in the cytosol. Intercellular staining indicated that mean fluorescence intensity of galectin-9 was significantly higher in pAd-gal-9-infected CHO group than control group. Supernatant from pAd-gal-9-infected CHO promoted the apoptosis of T cells. The percent of apoptotic T cells was higher than the Tim-3 positive T cells. Conclu-sion CHO infected with pAd-gal-9 can secret galectin-9 to promote the apoptosis of activated T cells via Tim-3-independent mechanisms.

Chinese Pediatric Emergency Medicine 2018;25(4):254-257
High altitude pulmonary edema(HAPE) occurs usually in plateau of low oxygen environ-ment,which is a non-cardiogenic pulmonary edema characterized by hypoxic pulmonary hypertension. Children HAPE has an acute onset and rapid progression.It always happens during the first 1 to 3 days ente-ring the plateau and has clear trigger factors such as upper respiratory tract infection,many physical labour and coldness. The pathogenesis is related with hypoxic pulmonary artery contraction,pulmonary epithelial dysfunction,inflammatory response,water transport imbalance in pulmonary epithelium,and genetic polymor-phism.The early symptoms include crying,breath holding,and dry cough. With the disease progressing, patients will present shortness of breath and expectoration of pink foam sputum,and even be unconscious, which results from cerebral edema and is mortal.The treatments of HAPE include bed rest,oxygen therapy, reduction of pulmonary arterial hypertension,hormone,diuresis,prevention of infection and so on.
