BACKGROUND:Mechano growth factor has the potential to activate muscle satelite cels and promote myogenic cel growth, and has dual roles in maintaining bone mass and repairing bone defects.
OBJECTIVE: To explore the mechanism underlying osteogenic differentiation of rabbit bone marrow mesenchymal stem cels promoted by the mechano growth factor.
METHODS:The best concentration and time of mechano growth factor to promote osteogenic differentiation of rabbit bone marrow mesenchymal stem cels were detected by MTT. The mRNA and protein expressions of alkaline phosphatase and osteocalcin were detected by qPCR and western blot, respectively. The phosphorylation level of AKT and mTOR were detected by western blot assay.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:The best concentration and time of mechano growth factor was 45 μg/L and 5 days for promoting the osteogenic differentiation of rabbit bone marrow mesenchymal stem cels. The expressions of alkaline phosphatase and osteocalcin at mRNA and protein levels were highest after 4-hour intervention with 45 μg/L mechano growth factor, and meanwhile, the phosphorylation levels of mTOR and AKT were also highest. These findings indicate that the mechano growth factor can promote the differentiation of rabbit bone marrow mesenchymal stem cels into osteoblastsvia PI3K/AKT pathway, and its best concentration and time are 45 μg/L and 4 hours, respectively.

Objective To explore the relationship among the expression level of MMP?13, AGG and Col?II in the chon?drocytes caused by nutritional deficiencies in rabbits. Methods 30 New Zealand white rabbits were randomly divided into autolo?gous chondrocyte transplantation group (control group, n=10), nutrition block group (surgery group, n=10), and peripheral nutrition block group (sham surgery group, n=10). 4 weeks after treatment, the rabbits were sacrificed for undergoing the observations on general and histological level;real?time PCR assay was employed for testing the expression level of MMP?13, AGG and Col?II;cel?lular apoptosis percentage was observed through TUNEL stain. The relationship among the apoptosis level, cartilage cells histologi?cal Mankin score as well as the expression level of MMP?13, AGG and Col?II were analyzed. Results Based on the Mankin score, there was a statistic difference between surgery group and control group. On the other side, there were no statistic differenc?es between sham surgery group and control group. 4 weeks after treatment, surgery group presented a higher apoptotic percentage compared with control group;this value between sham surgery group and control showed no significant differences. There was an increased mRNA expression level of MMP?13 and a decreased mRNA expression level of AGG and Col?II in surgery group com?pared with control group;no statistic differences of all these values was found between sham surgery group and control group. His?tological Mankin score and apoptotic percentage presented positive correlation (r=0.922, P<0.001), the regression equation:Y=-0.548+0.404X, R2=0.844 (F=157.735, P<0.001); the mRNA expression level of MMP?13 and apoptotic percentage presented positive correlation (r=0.942, P<0.001), the regression equation:Y=0.951+0.116X, R2=0.883 (F=219.054, P<0.001). There was a nega?tive correlation between the mRNA expression level of MMP?13 and the mRNA expression level of AGG as well as Col?II (r=-0.956,-0.945, P<0.001). Conclusion Damage of cartilage cells causes the up?regulation of the MMP?13 expression which could ex?acerbate the degeneration of cells. It could induce the down?regulation of AGG and Col?II mRNA expression, which will cause the extracellular matrix synthesis disorder.

Due to its effect of systems regulation and promotion on body, Ginseng is always referred to be long-term used as a dietary supplement. But it was still unclear about its target of the tonic effects and also the side-effects long-term use may bring. Urine metabolomic method is suitable for long-term studies of pharmaco-dynamics, pharmacology and toxicology of traditional Chinese medicine because of its characteristics of non-invasive and monitoring the whole-body metabolism. This study was designed to detect the dynamic variation of rat urine metabolome along with a long-term administration of total ginsenosides using GC-TOF based metabolomic technology. Our result showed that either short-term or chronic administration of ginsenosides did not impact the rat urine metabolome significantly (as the PCA subgroup was not successful). By comparison, the short-term (1-3 w) dose of ginsenosides had the biggest metabolic influence including TCA cycle, catecholamines and neurotransmitter amino acids. Medium-term (6-10 w) dose had a gradually lower effect and long-term (27 w) dose almost had no effect. Our study indicates that both short and long-term administration of ginsenosides showed almost no obvious side-effect on the experimental animals.

To determine the genetic diversity of Haloxylon ammodendron collected from 14 sites in 5 provinces, 103 H. ammodendron samples of 12 wild populations and 2 cultivated which collected from 14 sites in 5 provinces were analyzed by amplified fragment length polymorphism (AFLP) DNA markers. PopGen32 and NTSYSpc2.1 was applied to evaluate genetic diversity of H. ammodendron populations. The average percentage of polymorphic loci (PPL) of total H. ammodendron populations was 94.13%, the average Nei's gene diversity index (H(e)) from 14 populations was 0.308 0, and the Shannon's genetic diversity index (I) was 0.467 6. The results indicated that the genetic diversity of H. ammodendron populations was high. Genetic differentiation index (G(st)) was 0.313 8, and the gene flow (N(m)) was 1.093 5 at the population level. The level of gene flow of H. ammodendron showed it possessed the feature of wind-pollinated outcrossing plants. AMOVA analysis indicated that genetic variation of H. ammodendron was much higher within groups (89.34%) than that among groups (10.66%), moreover genetic variation within groups mainly occurred among populations in different producing areas (84.80%). Cluster analysis (UPGMA) was applied to generate dendrogram based on Nei's genetic distances of 14 populations. Samples from Xinjiang and Qinghai were clustered respectively as a clade for their distant genetic relationship, while Samples from Gansu, Inner Mongolia and Ningxia were clustered together for their close genetic relationship. Genetic diversity of H. ammodendron populations is high in China, and genetic differentiation among regions is small, thus abundance within this specie is high at this stage. Therefore, wild nursery and artificial cultivating in different areas are effective measures for the conservation and sustainable utilization of H. ammodendron resources.
