2.Hepatitis B virus X protein up-regulates tumor necrosis factor-αexpression in cultured mesangial cells via ERKs and NF-κB pathways
Asian Pacific Journal of Tropical Biomedicine 2013;(3):217-222
Objective: To investigate the effects of hepatitis B virus (HBV) X protein (HBx) on the expression of tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) in glomerular mesangial cells (GMCs) and the underlying intracellular signal pathways. Methods: The plasmid pCI-neo-X that carries the X gene of hepatitis B virus was transfected into cultured GMCs. HBx expression in the transfected GMCs was assessed by Western-blot. TNF-α protein and mRNA were assessed by ELISA and semi-quantitative RT-PCR, respectively. Three kinase inhibitors-U0126, an inhibitor of extracellular signal-regulated kinases (ERKs);lactacystin, an inhibitor of nuclear factor-κB (NF-κB);and SB203580, a selective inhibitor of p38 MAP kinase (p38 MAPK) were used to determine which intracellular signal pathways may underlie the action of HBx on TNF-αexpression in transfected GMCs. Results:A significant increase in HBx expression in pCI-neo-X transfected GMCs was detected at 36 h and 48 h, which was not affected by any of those kinase inhibitors mentioned above. A similar increase in the expression of both TNF-αprotein and mRNA was also observed at 36 h and 48 h, which was significantly decreased in the presence of U0126 or lactacytin, but not SB203580. Conclusions:HBx upregulates TNF-αexpression in cultured GMCs, possibly through ERKs and NF-κB pathway, but not p38 MAPK pathway.

The Journal of Practical Medicine 2014;(12):1871-1874
Objective To observe the effects of silencing IGF-1 receptor on the expression of Caspase12 , a endoplasmic reticulum specificity apoptosis protein of the peroxidation damage in L02 cells. Methods Four the recombined plasmids expressing short hairpin RNA (shRNA) specific for sileincing IGF-1R gene were constructed and these shRNAs were potentially targeted on different mRNA sequences of the IGF-1 receptor gene (Sh-H-IG1R- 1108, Sh-H-IGF1R-2797, Sh-H-IGF1R-3215 and Sh-H-IGF1R-3787). These constructs were classed as the experimental group. Another two constructs containing an irrespective sequence and no sequence were defined as a positive control group a negative control group , respectively. All these constructs were transfected into the L02 cells by Lipefectamine 2000. The interference effect was detected by RT-PCR after 24 h and the plasmid stably silencing the expression of IGF-1 receptor was selected for further analysis which was divided into four groups: the blank control group(Group A), the peroxidation damage group(Group B), the negative plasmid transfection group (Group C) and the positive plasmid transfection group (Group D). The expression of Caspase12 was detected by Westen Blot after 12 h. Results The amplification folds of experimental groups were statistically significantly lower than those of the Sh-H-IGF1R-V1 group and Sh-H-IGF1R-V2 group (P < 0.05). The silence effect of the Sh-H-IGF1R-3215 group (0.02 ± 0.01) and the Sh-H-IGF1R-3787 group (0.05 ± 0.05) were most stable and the repeatability of the later was better. The expressions of Caspase12 in Group B (2.41 ± 0.03), Group C (2.45 ± 0.02) and Group D (3.60 ± 0.06) were higher than Group A (0.34 ± 0.02) (P < 0.01). The Group Cexpression was higher than that of the Group B (P > 0.05). The Caspase12 expression in Group D was higher than that in Group B and C (P < 0.01). Conclusion (1) Of all the four constructs in this study, Sh-H-IGF1R-3787 is the most suitable for silencing IGF-1 receptor. (2) Silencing IGF 1R expression using shRNA plasmids can aggravate the L02 cells apoptosis, suggesting that the IGF-1/IGF 1R signal pathway might be involved in regulating the activation of apoptosis in L02 cells with peroxidation damag via endoplasmic reticulum stress.

7.Concerns for immunization of children with idiopathic nephrotic syndrome in the post-epidemic era
Chinese Journal of Applied Clinical Pediatrics 2021;36(5):329-333
Infection is one of the most familiar complications in children with idiopathic nephrotic syndrome.Although vaccination is an effectual measure in prevention of secondary infections, it still faces many problems.On the one hand, children′s own immune status (immune system dysfunction, administration with immunosuppressants, etc.) lends additional uncertainties to whether the immune system can produce sufficient protective antibodies after vaccination.On the other hand, potential risks (recurrence of nephrotic syndrome and induction of vaccine related diseases) need to be comprehensively assessed at the time of vaccination.In this paper, the safety, effectiveness and timing of va-ccination in children with nephrotic syndrome in the post-COVID-19 period were summarized, and possible problems of vaccination against severe acute respiratory syndrome Coronavirus 2(SARS-CoV-2) were discussed.

Objective To observe the effects and safety of rapamycin (Rap) in combination with cyclosporine A (CsA) and steroid (Pred) as triple regimen for prevention of acute rejection after renal transplantation.Methods Fifty patients with de novo cadaveric kidney allograft were randomized into two groups. In the study group there were 30 patients treated with Rap, CsA, and Pred, while in the control group there were 20 patients with conventional triple therapy of azathioprine (Aza), CsA, and Pred. Same dosages of CsA and Pred were used in both groups. Any adverse event after treatment was observed and recorded in detail. The laboratory investigations were checked and analyzed periodically.Results The pre-protocol population included 26 patients in study group and 18 patients in control group. The 2-year patient and graft survival rates in both groups were 100 %. The incidence of acute rejection was 3.7 % (1/27) in study group, 25 % (5/20) in control group, respectively. All episodes of acute rejection were reversed by methylprednisolone. The trough levels of CsA kept same in both groups, but CsA dose in study group was lower than that in control group. Blood concentrations of total cholesterol and triglyceride in study group were higher than those in control group. Conclusion Rap is an effective and safe immunosuppressive drug for prevention of acute rejection after renal transplantation. Rap combined with CsA allows reducing the dose of CsA. But its main side effect is hyperlipidemia.

Objective That decline of estradiol in serum of postmenopausal women can result in dry eye has been accepted at present. However, the change of estradiol in tear of postmenopausal women has been not reported ever. This study was to discuss the relationship between dry eye syndrome and estradiol in tears and serum of postmenopausal women. Methods Total 62 eyes of 62 women were collected in this trial. The aim of this trial was informed orally and the informed consent was obtained from all the subjects. The 32 right eyes were from menopausal women for more one year and 30 right eyes were from premenopause women. The dry eye was diagnosed based on the abnormalities of tear break-up time (BUT), Schirmer I test, corneal fluorescence and subjective symptom of patients. The periphery blood specimen was collected from all the subjects, and tear specimen was obtained and quantified using filter paper. Estradiol contents in tears and serum were determined by chemiluminescence method. The bulbar conjunctiva was obtained by impression cytology, and the microstructure of conjunctiva was observed under the scanning electron microscopy. Results In comparison to the premenopause group, the content of estradiol in tears and serum in menopause group was significantly reduced(73. 50 ±24.47 vs 17. 43 ± 10. 92) (U = -6. 396, P =0. 001). In the premenopause group, the estradiol content between tear and serum showed the positive correlation (r = 0. 838, P = 0. 001) . However, no statistical correlation was found in estradiol content between tears and serum in menopause group(r =0. 127, P = 0. 487). The maicrostructure changes were seen in the dry eyes of postmenopausal women, and decrease of goblet cell and loosen of intercellular junction were found under the electron microscope. Conclusion The content of estradiol in tears in menopause group is significantly lower than that in the premenopause group. Estradiol content in tears and serum of the postmenopausal women showes insignificant correlation. This result indicates that the topical substitute therapy with estradiol is possible in dry eye.
