Objective To explore the protective effects of lycium barbarum polysaccharides(LBP) on fibroblast in vitro irradiated by ultraviolet A(UVA). Methods Taking the primary cultured fibroblast as objects, the fibroblast was irradiated by UVA ( irradiation intensity: 2.4 J/cm2). The fibroblast was randomly divided into six groups, control group, UVA radiated group and four protective groups(0.1 mg/ml LBP, 0.2 mg/ml LBP, 0.4 mg/ml LBP and 0.8 mg/ml LBP). The activities of cell proliferation were measured by MTT methods. The contents of MDA, the activities of SOD in the fibroblasts, and the activities of LDH in the supernatants of fibroblasts were determined by biochemical methods. Results The fibroblasts were irradiated by UVA (irradiation intensity: 2.4 J/cm2),the activities of cell proliferation was decreased,the activities of SOD was decreased too, the content of MDA and LDH increased. Compared with UVA irradiated group,in the given concentration,LBP could improve the activities of cell’s proliferation,improve the activities of SOD and decrease the contents of MDA in the cell, and decrease the content of LDH in the supernatants of cells significantly (P

Objective To better understand the pathogenicity and evolution of Yersinia pestis, we carried out the whole genome sequencing of human-avirulent Yersinia pestis strain 91001, which was isolated from a species of rodent-Microtus brandti. Methods We utilized “whole genome shotgun” approach to get the genome sequence of 91001. Based on the finished and annotated genome sequence of 91001, as well as the previously published genome sequences of CO92 and KIM, we performed detailed comparative genomics analysis on their chromosomes and plasmids. Results The genome of 91001 consisted of one chromosome and four plasmids (pPCP1, pCD1, pMT1 and pCRY). The pPCP1 plasmid of 9 609bp was almost identical with its counterparts from reference strains, which possessed 10 CDS. Plasmid pCD1 was found to be a plasmid of the type III secretory apparatus, and its length was 70 159bp. Although its CDS are quite similar to those of the reference plasmids, there were obvious rearrangements which produced certain differences in structure among them. Another plasmid was pMT1, a 106 642bp plasmid, which showed slightly different architecture compared with the reference ones. There was no mutation in virulent-related genes of pMT1 and pMT1 of 91001, which seemed to have retained more fragments of an ancestor plasmid. pCRY was a novel plasmid discovered in this work. It was 21 742bp long and harbored a group of gene encoding type IV secretory system. pCRY seemed to be able to replicate. The length of chromosome of 91001 was 4 595 065bp, and among its 4 037 predicted CDS (coding sequences), 141 were possibly pseudogenes. There were many IS in the chromosome. Due to the rearrangments mediated by IS, the structure of 91001 chromosome showed significant differences compared with CO92 and KIM. According to the results of comparative genomics analysis, we deduced the genetic mechanisms of nitrate reduction, glycerol fermentation, arabinose and milibiose utilization in 91001. Conclusion According to the analysis of plasmids structure, pseudogenes distribution, nitrate reduction negative mechanism, gene comparison and chromosome architecture, we conclude that 91001 and other strains isolated from Microtus brandti and Microtus fuscus evolved from ancestor Y. pestis and then developed into a different lineage. The deletion of large genome fragments from 91001 chromosome and pseuogenes might contribute to its unqiue pathogenicity and host-specificity.

Objective To establish reliable proteomics analysis models for Yersinia pestis and obtain the basic proteomics data of this pathogen. Methods The human-avirulent Y. pestis strain 91001 was cultured as an experimental strain, and the proteins of which were extracted and divided into three parts fractionally according to their solubility. Then three different methods (Shotgun-LC-MS-MS, 1D-LC-MS-MS and 2D-MS) were used to analyze the extracted proteins. The obtained data were compared with the theoretical protein database of strain 91001 so as to identify the expressed protein of Y.pestis strain 91001 in this study. Results 971 proteins were identified by shotgun-LC-MS-MS method, accounting for 23.4% of the predicted proteins of strain 91001 (971/4 143). 915 proteins were identified by 1D-LC-MS-MS method, accounting for 22.1% of the predicted proteins of strain 91001 (915/4 143). However, with 2D-MS only 5.62% of the predicted proteins (233/4 143) were identified. Altogether 1 193 proteins were identified when the results of the 3 methods added together, accounting for 28.7% of all the predicted CDS in 91001. Conclusion The kind and quantity of proteins identified by various proteomics methods differ from each other dramatically, therefore it is necessary to utilize multiple methods to get more reliable protein profiles of Y. pestis.

Objective:To study the effects of exosomes (EXO) released by adenoid cystic carcinoma SACC-83 cells on the expression of fibroblast activation protein (FAP) in normal human salivary gland stromal fibroblasts (hSGSFs).Methods:ACC exosomes were isolated from SACC-83 cell culture supernatant by using Total Exosome Isolation Reagent.The whole-mount EXO were characterized and assessed by transmission electron microscope and Western Blot.The exosomes were labeled with green fluorescent dye PKH67 and co-cultured with hSGSFs for 48h,followed by staining with Alexa Fluor 594 Phalloidin and DAPI.Mterwards,exsosomes uptake was observed under a laser scanning confocal microscope.After a 48-hour co-culture of SACC-83 exosomes with hSGSFs,the expression of FAP in SACC-83-EXO-treated hSGSFs was investigated by qRT-PCR and Western Blot.Results:The vesicles isolated from SACC-83 cell culture supernatant had the reported size range of 30-100 nm,expressed the exosomal marker CD63 and TSG101.Mter co-culture of hSGSFs with PKH67 labeled SACC-83 exosomes,exosomes were taken up by hSGSFs and FAP expression was elevated in hSGSFs.Conclusion:Exosomes derived from SACC-83 cells can be taken up by hSGSFs and can induce the expression of FAP in hSGSFs.These results suggest that exosomes derived from SACC-83 cells might induce the transformation of normal salivary gland strormal fibroblasts to cancer associated fibroblasts.

ABSTRACT:Objective To explore cardiac function and myocardial collagen type I in diet-induced insulin-resistant rats and the effect of telmisartan on cardiac diastolic function in diet-induced insulin-resistant rats. Methods We randomized 27 Wistar rats into control group (n = 9 ),high-fat group (n = 9 ),and telmisartan treatment group (n = 9 ).At the end of the study,left ventricular end diastolic pressure (LVEDP)and left ventricular systolic pressure (LVSP)of the rats and ± dp/dt were detected by carotid artery intubation.Masson cardiac staining was used to observe cardiac fibrosis,and collagen volume fraction (CVF)was measured.ELISA method was used to detect the concentration of plasma PICP and ICTP.Results Compared with the control group,in high-fat group LVEDP was significantly higher and -dP/dtmax decreased significantly (P < 0.01 );the plasma PICP level and the ratio of PICP/ICTP were significantly increased (P <0.01),cardiac collagen volume
fraction was significantly higher (P <0.01).After 22 weeks’telmisartan intervention,compared with the high-fat group,LVEDP and LVSP were significantly decreased (P < 0.01 ),but -dP/dtmax significantly increased (P <0.05).The level of the plasma PICP and PICP/ICTP were significantly decreased (P < 0.05 );left ventricular myocardial tissue collagen volume fraction content was decreased (P <0.01).The correlation analysis showed that cardiac collagen volume fraction in insulin-resistant group was positively correlated with insulin resistance index but negatively correlated with -dp/dtmax (P < 0.01 ).Conclusion Insulin resistance promoted the synthesis of myocardial type I collagen,leading to increased myocardial collagen deposition and decreased cardiac diastolic function.Telmisartan may improve diastolic function partly by improving insulin resistance and reducing the deposition of myocardial collagen type I.

Evolutionary psychology holds such an opinion that negative situation may threaten survival, trigger avoidance motive and have poor effects on the human-body function and the psychological quality. Both disgusted and sad situations can induce negative emotions. However, differences between the two situations on attention capture and emotion cognition during the emotion induction are still not well known. Typical disgusted and sad situation images were used in the present study to induce two negative emotions, and 15 young students (7 males and 8 females, aged 27 ± 3) were recruited in the experiments. Electroencephalogram of 32 leads was recorded when the subjects were viewing situation images, and event-related potentials (ERP) of all leads were obtained for future analysis. Paired sample t tests were carried out on two ERP signals separately induced by disgusted and sad situation images to get time quantum with significant statistical differences between the two ERP signals. Root-mean-square deviations of two ERP signals during each time quantum were calculated and the brain topographic map based on root-mean-square deviations was drawn to display differences of two ERP signals in spatial. Results showed that differences of ERP signals induced by disgusted and sad situation images were mainly manifested in T1 (120-450 ms) early and T2 (800-1,000 ms) later. During the period of T1, the occipital lobe reflecting attention capture was activated by both disgusted and sad situation images, but the prefrontal cortex reflecting emotion sense was activated only by disgusted situation images. During the period of T2, the prefrontal cortex was activated by both disgusted and sad situation images. However, the parietal lobe was activated only by disgusted situation images, which showed stronger emotional perception. The research results would have enlightenment to deepen understanding of negative emotion and to exploredeep cognitive neuroscience mechanisms of negative emotion induction.
