The parathyroid hormone related peptide (PTHrP) participates in regulating calcium and phosphorus metabolism and multiple organ growth,and plays an important role in the processes of malignant tumor bone metastasis and hypercalcemia.Currently,more and more researches have confirmed that PTHrP can be secreted by a variety of types of tumor cells.PTHrP participates in regulating tumor cell proliferation and invasion,and it is closely related to the prognosis of patients,which provides a new target of cancer treatment.

Objective To determine the serum levels of triggering receptor expressed on myeloid cells-1 (TREM-1), analyse its relationship with inflammatory factors, and explore its clinical values. Methods Serum concentrations of TREM-1, TNF-α, IL-8 and IL-1β in 19 patients with early acute pancreatitis (AP) were measured by enzyme-linked immunoadsorbent assay and the relationship among them was analyzed, and it was compared with those of 20 normal controls. Results In patients with early AP, serum levels of TNF-α, IL-8, IL-1β and TREM-1 were (52.26±12.98) pg/ml, (20.18±9.81) pg/ml, (35.57 ± 13.34) pg/ml and (83.09 ± 32.49) pg/ml;while they were (18.69 ± 6.42) pg/ml, (9.81 ± 4.80) pg/ml, (14.94 ± 5.16) pg/ml and (8.44±8.42) pg/ml in control group, and there was significant difference between the two groups (P < 0.01). TREM-1 was positively correlated with other inflammatory factors in patients with early AP, and it had a sensitivity of 77.8%, specificity of 70.0% for prognosis prediction, which was better than TNF-α, IL-8, IL-1β. Conclusions TREM-1 may influence the leveLs of inflammatory factors and to some extent predict the early prognosis of AP.

To study the effect of losartan on high glucose up-regulated expression of parathyroid hormone-related peptide (PTHrP) and its type 1 receptor (PTH1R) in NRK-52E cells. The expression of PTHrP and PTH1R were detected by RT-PCR and Western blot in control group (0 mmol/L glucose) ,normal glucose group (5 mmol/ L glucose) ,moderately high glucose group (16.7 mmol/L glucose) ,high glucose group (25 mmol/L glucose) ,and after intervention by 10 μmol/L losartan for 72 h (only Western blot). The expression of PTHrP and PTH1R were up-regulated by high glucose (PTHrP mRNA : 0. 66 ± 0.08, 0. 84 ± 0. 13,1.57 ± 0. 15, and 1.73 ± 0.21 ; PTHrP protein :0.63±0.12,0.68±0.06,1.02±0. 11, and 1.04±0.08 ; PTH1R mRNA :0.26±0. 08,0.28±0.07,2.35± 0. 10,and 2.47±0. 05 ; PTH1R protein:0. 88±0. 05,0. 87±0. 10, 1.05±0. 11, and 1.12±0. 09) ,and losartan inhibited the effects of high glucose (PTHrP 0.74±0. 15, PTH1R 0.98±0.06, both P<0.01). The results suggest that losartan could inhibit the expression of FTHrP and PTH1R induced by high glucose in NRK-52E.

Objective To study the role of parathyroid hormone-related peptide ( PTHrP) in transdif-ferentiation of NRK-52E cells induced by high glucose. Methods Expression of PTHrP and its receptor 1 in NRK-52E cells incubated with 0 ( control group) ,5 ( normal glucose group) and 16. 7mmol/L glucose ( high glucose group) ,respectively,was detected by RT-PCR and Western blotting,respectively. Expression of TGF-?1,MMP2,type Ⅰ collagen and ?-SMA in NRK-52E cells of normal and high glucose groups was detected by Western blotting and ROS was detected by CM2H2DCFDA after 72 h. Results The expression levels of PTHrP,PTHrP receptor 1 ( PTH1R) ,and PTHrP mRNA were higher in high glucose group than in control and normal glucose groups ( P

Objective To observe insulin synthesis and secretion in INS-1 under high glucose, and to clarify the effect of PTH1R. Methods After successful construction of recombinant PTH1R-siRNA vectors in INS-1 cell, insulin secretion and intracellular insulin content of control group, siPTH1R-Negative control group, PTHrP group, and siPTH1R group under 25 mmol/L glucose were measured by radioimmunoassay in INS-1 cell. Intracellular calcium were detected by Fluo-3/AM and the capability of glucose transport was calculated by assaying the uptake of [3H]-2-deoxy-D-glucose in cells.Results Compared with control group, and siPTH1R-NC group, PTHrP group showed increased capability of insulin secretion; PTHrP group had higher intracellular insulin levels than others; PTHrP group showed increased intracellular calcium; the uptake of [3H]-2-deoxy-D-glucose under high glucose after 48h of PTHrP group was increased(all P＜0.01). Conclusion There is a close relationship between PTH1R activation and insulin secretion and synthesis, PTH1R activation may be one of the protective mechanisms in maintaining function of β-cell under high glucose.

Objective To study whether eicosapentaenoate can decrease the apoptosis effects in-duced by palmitic acid in INS-1 or not. Methods Based on different condition, there were four groups in this study, including control group , EPA group, palmitic acid group, combination of EPA and palmitic acid group. The grow curve was detected by MTT, and the expressions of bax were detected by Western blot.Cell apoptosis was detected by caspase-3. ROS was detected by CM2H2DCFDA kit after 48h. Result The grow curve of combination of EPA and palmitic acid group was higher than that in plamitic group[24 h :(37.33±1.15)OD vs (30. 79 ± 1.55 )OD, P < 0. 01 ;48 h:(31.50 ± 1.56)OD vs (23.94 ± 1.10)OD, P<0. 01] . Caspase-3 activity and ROS and the expression of bax and SREBP1c in combination of palmitic acid and T0901317 group were lower than those in palmitic acid group[(3566. 67 ± 305.51 )OD vs (4233. 33 ±416. 33)OD]. Conclusion EPA can inhibit apoptosis in INS-1 induced by palmitic acid.
