Objective To evaluate the effects of different concentrations of dexmedetomidine on large-con-ductance Ca2+-activated K+ (BKca) channels in the rat mesenteric arterial smooth muscle (MASM) cells.Methods Sprague-Dawley rats of both sexes,weighing 180-220 g,were used in this study.Single MASM cell was freshly isolated from mesenteric arteries in two steps.Ten cells were chosen and studied.When holding potential was 40 mV and the concentration of free calcium ions was 10-7 mol/L,inside-out patch-clamp technique was used to record the single BKCa channel current before and after application of different concentrations of dexmedetomidine (0,10-9,10-8,10-7,10-6,10-5 mol/L).Total open probability (NPo),amplitude (Am),mean open time (To) and mean close time (To) of single BKca channel were observed and recorded.Results Compared with the baseline value,dexmedetomidine 10-7,10-6 and 10-5 mol/L increased NPo in a concentration-dependent man-ner,and dexmedetomidine 10-9,10-8,10-7,10-6,10-5mol/L shortened Tc (P <0.05 or 0.01).Compared with the value obtained when the concentration of dexmedetomidine was 10-9 mol/L,Tc was significantly shortened when the concentration of dexmedetomidine was 10-8 mol/L (P < 0.05),and no significant change was found in Am and To obtained when different concentrations of dexmedetomidine were applied (P > 0.05).Conclusion Dexmedetomidine 10-7,10-6 and 10-5 mol/L activate BKca channels in rat MASM cells in a concentration-depen-dent manner,which is one of the mechanisms of decrease in blood pressure by dexmedetomidine.

Objective:To study the antitumor effect and mechanism of cocultured CIK cells modified with IL-24 gene and autologous DCs on HL-60 cells in vitro.Methods:DCs and CIK cells were prepared routinely from human peripheral blood mononuclear cells ( PBMC).IL-24 gene was transferred into CIK cells via electroporation.The cells obtained were named CIK-IL24.RT-PCR and ELISA were used to evaluate expression of IL-24 gene in transfected CIK cells.The phenotypic changes of CIK cells were identified by flowcytometry analysis.The concentration of IFN-γ and TNF-α in supernatant of CIK was determined by ELISA.FCM was used to determine the cytotoxicity of cocultured CIK cells modified with IL-24 gene and autologous DCs against HL-60 cells.Results:Eukaryotic expressing plasmid pcDNA3.0-IL24 was transferred into CIK cells successfully via electroporation.The expressing rate of CD3~+、CD3~+CD56~+ cells had no significant change in CIK cells.However,the rate of CD4~+CD25~+ cells was significantly decreased compared with that of the control group.Expression of adhesion molecules CD54,CXCR4 were significantly increased on CD3+CD56+ cells.CIK-IL24 cells produced markedly higher levels of IFN-γ and TNF-α as compared with the CIK cells.By comparison with non-transfected CIK cells co-cultured with DCs,transfected CIK cells co-cultured with DCs had a significantly higher lytic activity against HL-60 cells.Conclusion:IL-24 gene modification can enhance the anti-tumoral immunity of CIK cells,the mechanism of which might be related to the increased secretion of IFN-γ,TNF-α,up-regulation of adhesion molecule expression,and reduction of the rate of CD4~+CD25~+ cells in CIK cells.
