Objective To explore the effect of tert?butylhydroquinone(tBHQ)on ultraviolet B(UVB)?induced oxidative damages in human im?mortalized keratinocytes(HaCaT),and discuss its mechanism. Methods The cultured HaCaT cells were randomly divided into 4 groups:control group(G1),ultraviolet irradiation group(G2),25μmol/L tBHQ pretreatment before ultraviolet irradiation group(G3),and 50μmol/L tBHQ pre?treatment before ultraviolet irradiation group(G4). The content of reactive oxygen species was detected by DCFH?DA method,and the cell prolifera?tion was evaluated by MTT. Western blot was used to measure the protein expression of nuclear factor E2?related factor 2(Nrf2)in both nuclear fac?tions and whole?cell of HaCaT. The mRNA expressions of CAT and SRX were determined by real?time RT?PCR. Results The content of reactive oxygen species in HaCaT cells was increased,and the cell proliferation rate was decreased significantly after ultraviolet irradiation. The pretreatment of 25 and 50μmol/L tBHQ can inhibit the UVB?induced oxidative damage in a dose?dependent manner in HaCaT cells. Compared with G2 group, tBHQ pretreatment could dose?dependently increase the level of Nrf2 protein in nuclear factions and whole?cell of HaCaT,and also the mRNA ex?pressions of CAT and SRX. Conclusion UVB irradiation can induce oxidative stress damages of HaCaT cells. tBHQ may inhibit the UVB?induced oxidative damages through enhancing Nrf2 expressions and nuclear translocation,then activating the transcription of the downstream antioxidant en?zymes CAT and SRX.

Objective To study the correlations between the genetic polymorphism of brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) and the postpartum depression (PPD) in cesarean section parturient. Methods Three hundred and sixty parturients, who underwent cesarean section under spinal anesthesia from Feb. 2014 to Feb. 2015 in Third Xiangya Hospital of Central South University or Hunan Maternal and Child Health Hospital, were selected as subjects. The general information of parturients was recorded and Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale (EPDS) was used to evaluate the depression condition of parturients at the prenatal 1 day and the 42th day postpartum, and with a cut-off point of 12/13 for identifying PPD. The genotypes of BDNF gene locus G712A, rs56164415, rs11030100, rs11030101 and rs6265 were measured by Sequenom? Mass Array SNP. Finally, the correlations of PPD to different genotypes and general information of parturients were statistically analyzed. Results The incidence of PPD among the selected subjects was 7.2%. Pregnancy mental stress, poor pregnancy mood, perinatal elevated monocyte count, prenatal depression mood and BDNF gene locus rs6265 mutation all could affect the incidence of PPD in cesarean section parturients (P<0.05). No statistically significant difference existed between BDNF gene G712A, rs11030101, rs11030100 and rs56164415 locus mutation and PPD (P>0.05), and their haploid forms were not related to PPD also. Conclusion BDNF rs6265CC genotype, pregnancy mental stress, poor pregnancy mood, perinatal elevated monocyte count and prenatal depression mood are the risk factors for postpartum depression.

Objective: To explore aspirin resistance (AR) phenomenon in patients with coronary artery disease (CAD) for secondary prevention and to study the relationships between AR and COX1, COX2, TBXA2R gene polymorphisms. Methods: A total of 2881 CAD patients taken aspirin (100 mg/day) in 7 consecutive days were enrolled. Among them, 2 groups were established as AR group, n=166 and Control group, n=200 aspirin sensitive patients. Platelet aggregation function was induced by arachidonic acid (AA), COX1, COX2 and TBXA2R gene polymorphisms were examined by polymerase chain reaction-restricted fragment length polymorphisms (PCR-RFLP) method. Results: The occurrence rate of AR was 5.76% (166/2881). There were 8 tagSNPs locus in 3 genes as in COX1:(rs3842788), (rs4273915), (rs7866582); in: COX2 (rs3218625); in TBXA2R: (rs2238630), (rs2238631), (rs2238633), (rs3786989). The frequencies of wild type, heterozygous genotype and homozygous genotype were similar between 2 groups. Conclusion: The incidence rate of AR is not high in CHD patients with regular aspirin medication; single nucleotide gene polymorphisms of COX1, COX2 and TBXA2R have no obvious correlation to AR.

Breast cancer is the most common cancer in women, and radiotherapy is an important method of its treatment. The outcome of radiotherapy greatly depends on radiosensitivity of cancer cells. The key pathways of microRNAs (miRNAs) involved in breast cancer radiotherapy response include DNA damage repair, apoptosis, cell cycle arrest, autophagy and related signaling pathways. This article reviews the role of miRNAs in regulating the response of breast cancer to radiotherapy and related signaling pathways. To explore the role of miRNAs in regulating the treatment response of breast cancer to radiotherapy and related signaling pathways, it can provide reference for miRNAs to be used as an indicator to evaluate the diagnosis, prognosis and radiotherapy efficacy of breast cancer.

Objective We used peptide array technique to construct a peptide FynP inhibiting the interac-tion between Fyn and PSD95 in vitro therefor with a potential for inbiting NR2B phosphorylation level(p-NR2B). This experiment was designed to examine whether FynP(deliverd with TAT-LK15)can inhibit interaction between Fyn and PSD95 in inflammatory pain rats,and therefore inhibit NR2B phosphorylationin in vivo. Methods TAT-LK15 was complexed with FynP(cell-penetrating peptide Tat-LK15/FynP)or scrambled control FynP(Tat-LK15/mFynP). Changes of p-NR2B were detected using western-blot in SCDH of chronic inflammatory pain rats following intraperitoneal injection of Tat-LK15/FynP,meanwhile,the effect of Tat-LK15/FynP on the interaction between Fyn and PSD-95 was tested by co-immunoprecipitation. Pain control efficacy was evaluated by changes of mechani-cal withdrawal threshold(MWT)and thermal withdrawal duration(TWL)in these rats. Results Interaction be-tween Fyn and PSD-95 was efficiently inhibited by intraperitoneal injection of TAT-LK15/FynP complexes while in-jection of FynP or TAT-LK15/mFynP complexes did not show this inhibitory effect. NR2B phosphorylation level was also inhibited by injection of TAT-LK15/FynP,and the changes of p-NR2B levels were reduced by 52%compared to chronic inflammatory pain rats without treatment. FynP or TAT-LK15/mFynP did not show this effect. Moreover, injection of TAT-LK15/FynP complexes significantly reduced MWT and increased TWL of chronic inflammatory pain rats accordingly. Conclusion FynP delivered by Tat-LK15 can perturb Fyn and PSD95 interaction and then inhibit NR2B phosphorylation activation therfor relieve chronic inflammatory pain.
