2.The changes of protein kinase C for human retinal pigment epithelium and retinal glial cells proliferation induced by the subretinal fluid
International Eye Science 2006;6(3):513-518
AIM: To study the effect of the subretinal fluid (SRF) on proliferation of retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) cells and retinal glial (RG) cells and associated activation and translocation of protein kinase C (PKC) as well as the application of PKC inhibitor.MTEHODS: RPE and RG cells were disintegrated to obtain PKC activity of cytoplasm and cellular membrane after being treated by the subretinal fluid (SRF) from the different stages of PVR patients (grade B and C) or being treated with PKC specific activator [phorbol-12-myris-tate-13-acetate (PMA)] or normal vitreous or DMEM culture medium. PKC activity in cytoplasm and cellular membrane was measured using radioactive isotope 32P labeling in a specific reaction of phosphorylation on PKC substrate. In addition, the PKC inhibitor, dequalinium chloride, was used to pretreat the RPE and RG cells before the cells exposed to SRF or PMA or normal vitreous. 3H-TdR (tritiated thymidine) was used to measure the levels of proliferation of RPE and RG cells with or without the activation and translocation.RESULTS: SRF and PMA promoted the proliferation of RPE and RG cells. SRF and PMA activated PKC in the cytoplasm of RPE and RG cells and the activated cytoplasm PKC translocated to the cellular membrane of RPE or RG cells. The cell proliferation or PKC activation or translocation were not equally active in RPE as in RG cells. However, PKC inhibitor which attenuated the cell proliferation did not show significant difference on inhibition of RPE and RG cell proliferation. (P >0.05).CONCLUSION: SRF can lead to the activation and translocation of PKC in RPE and RG cells, which promote the proliferation of RPE and RG cells. Dequalinium chloride can inhibit PKC activation and translocation hence slow down the cells proliferation.

Angiogenesis is a fundamental physiological and pathological process in human body.Angiogenesis is regulated by integrins,a family of cell surface receptors.After binding with their ligands such as extracellular matrix proteins and immunoglobulin superfamily molecules,integrins can promote the proliferation and migration of endothelial cells during angiogenesis.Several integrin-targeted therapeutic agents are currently used in clinical trials for the therapy of angiogenesis related diseases.Here,there will show the roles of integrins in angiogenesis and clinical application.

Apolipoprotein A-I (apoA-I) is a member of the apolipoprotein A family, which was discovered the earli-est. It has an important role in the regulation of lipid metabolism, which mainly includes cholesterol synthesis and transfer. Therefore, apoA-I is closely related to hyperlipidemia and atherosclerosis. Clinically, serum ApoA-I/ApoB has been used as one of the indexes of hyperlipidemia. This article reviewed the study progress in ApoA-I's gene polymorphism and its relationship with reverse cholesterol transport (RCT).

Objective To compare the effects of neutral posture training (NPT) and gas resistance training on balance and motor func-tion in stroke patients. Methods From June, 2014 to February, 2016, 44 hemiplegic patients were randomly divided into control group (n=22) and experimental group (n=22). The control group received conventional decubitus trunk muscle training and sitting gas resistance train-ing. The experimental group received NPT. They were assessed with Fugl-Meyer Assessment-Upper Extremities (FMA-UE), Fugl-Meyer Assessment-Lower Extremities (FMA-LE), and Berg Balance Scale (BBS) before and after training. Results There was no significant differ-ence in the scores of FMA-UE, FMA-LE and BBS between two groups (t<0.962, P>0.05). The scores significantly increased after training in both groups (t>12.248, P<0.001), and were higher in the experimental group than in the control group (t>1.972, P<0.05). Conclusion The NPT could improve the motor and balance function of stroke patients, rather than gas resistance training.

Objective To investigate the effects of polyi:c on angiogenesis in mouse prostate carcinoma tissue and their possible mechanisms.Methods Mouse prostate carcinoma models were randomly divided into two groups according to tumor weight:control group and polyi:c group.After treatment for 7 times,the mice were sacrificed and the tumor tissues were cut for weighing,calculating the tumor inhibitory rate and tumor index.Hematoxylin-eosin staining and immunohistochemical staining were performed to observate the morphological changes of prostate carcinoma tissues,distribution of vasa and expressions of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and endothelial nitric-oxide synthase (eNOS).Results In polyi:c group,the mean tumor inhibitory rate was 67.85% and the tumor index was(5.42?0.17)%;in control group,the tumor index was(14.45?1.06)%; there was significant differences between polyi:c group and control group( P

Background and purpose:Drug-resistance is the main obstacle in terms of efficacy of chemotherapy for leukemia, RNA interference(RNAi) strategy possesses the characteristics of specilization, high-efficiency and low-toxicity, and can effectively and specifically inhibit the overexpression of given gene. This study was designed to investigate the effect of small interfering RNA (siRNA) on expression of mdr1 gene and drug-resistance in multidrug-resistant human leukemia K562/ADM cell.Methods:Human multidrug-resistant leukemia cell line K562/ADM over-expressing mdr1 gene was used as the target cells, Two siRNAs (si-mdr1-1 and si-mdr1-2) targeted mdr1 gene were chemically synthesized and transfected into K562/ADM cells. Expression of mdr1 mRNA was determined by RT-PCR, P-glycoprotein (P-gp) expression was measured using flow cytometry (FCM), and the sensitivity of K562/ADM cells to adriamycin was assessed with a MTT colorimetric assay.Results:Two siRNAs (si-mdr1-1 and si-mdr1-2) specially designed in this study could markedly down-regulate the expression of mdr1 mRNA and its product P-gp in K562/ADM cells. After cells transfected with si-mdr1-1 or si-mdr1-2 for 24h and 48h, the inhibition of mdr1 mRNA expression in the cells for si-mdr1-1 was 55.5% and 22.5%; and for si-mdr1-2, 16.0% and 57.6%, respectively. Treated with siRNA for 72h, the expression intensity of P-gp in the two transfected cell lines decreased 74% and 85%, respectively. Both si-mdr1-1 and si-mdr1-2 significantly enhanced the sensitivity of K562/ADM cells to adriamycin and reversed their drug-resistance, the reversal efficiency was 2.52-folds and 1.96-folds, respectively.Conclusions:The siRNA could effectively and specifically silence the expression of mdr1 gene and overcome the drug-resistance mediated by P-gp in K562/ADM cells.
