Objective To investigate the anti-fibrogenesis property of imatinib mesylate in a rat model of liver fibrosis induced by carbon tetrachloride/olive oil and its effect on the expression of trans- forming growth factor(TGF)-?1.Methods Rat liver fibrosis was induced by intraperitoneal administra- tion of carbon tetrachloride and olive oil mixture twice a week for eight weeks.Imatinib mesylate was given 20 mg/kg daily by oral lavage.The control rats received saline by oral iavage.Liver collagen depo- sition was evaluated by immunohistochemistry with Masson staining.The activation of hepatic stellate cells was detemined by the immunohistoehemistry staining of?-smooth muscle actin.The mRNA expres- sions of TGF-?1,c-Abl and TIMP-1 were measured by RT-PCR.While protein expressions of TGF-?1, phosphorylated platelet-derived growth factor receptor and c-Abl were detected by Western blot and im- munohistochemical staining.Hepatic hydroxyproline content was also quantified.Results The collagen deposition[(16.23?1.01)%vs(25.61?0.92)%]and the number of activated HSCs(10.52?1.33vs 13.10?1.21)were reduced in the imatinib mesylate treatment group compared with the control group by 35% and 20%,respectively(P

Lactic acid production of twelve strains of LAB isolated from broiler intestine and tolerance property of three strains were investigated. The results of lactic acid production showed that among all strains K6 exhibited the most rapid production during the first twelve hours, the seconds were K9 and C1; D17 exhibited the highest production of lactic acid by twenty-four hours, C1 exhibited the highest production of lactic acid by forty-eight hours. The pH values in three strains of K9、D17 and C1 culture showed the fast decline during the first twelve hours, with the final values significantly lower than those of other strains cultures. The results of tolerance property showed that the survival counts of C1could be detected when pH value was at 2 after three hours, but the survival counts of D17 and K9 could not be detected after one hour. When pH value was at 2.5 after three hours ,the survival counts of C1 declined from 10~ 8.2 /mL to 10~ 4.8 /mL, K9 from 10~ 8.2 /mL to 10~ 4.6 /mL, the survival counts of D17 could not be detected. 0.08% bile had few effects on the survival counts of three strains; when incubated in the medium with 0.40% bile, the survival counts of C1 declined from 10~ 8.4 /mL to 10~ 6.5 /mL,D17 from 10~ 10.3 /mL to 10~ 7.5 /mL, and K9 from 10~ 9.8 /mL to 10~ 7.7 /mL. When the group treated with 37℃ for 20 minutes was served as the control, the survival counts of C1 and K9 was not detected when treated with 80℃, but the survival counts of D17 were 10~ 4.9 /mL, when treatment with 65℃ the survival counts of C1 and K9 decreased significantly .

BACKGROUND: Both epidermal growth factor (EGF) and insulin transfer their signals into cells by two primary signal transduction pathways,including phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K) pathway and mitogen activated protein kinases (MAPK) pathway.But they have different physiological functions.OBJECTIVE: To comparatively assay the dynamic behaviors of phosphoproteomes between EGF and insulin signal transductions in mouse hepatocytes and find key signal proteins.DESIGN,TIME AND SETTING: Randomized grouping controlled observation experiment was performed in the laboratory of Molecular Biology,Luzhou Medical College between July 2005 and April 2006.MATERIALS: Hepatocytes were from Kunming mice of closed population.METHODS: The primarily cultured mouse hepatocytes were labeled with 32p isotope and then randomly divided into three groups: control,EGF-stimulated (received 10 μg/L EGF),and insulin-stimulated (received 100 nmol/L insulin) groups.MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: After mouse hepatocytes were treated with EGF and insulin for 0,5,20,60 and 120 minutes,the dynamic behaviors of phosphoproteomes(I.e,phosphorylated level) between EGF and insulin signal transductions were comparatively analyzed by two-dimensional electrophoresis method.RESULTS: The categories of all phosphorylated proteins between EGF and insulin-stimulated phosphoproteomes had no apparent difference.The dynamic behaviors of phosphoproteomes of most proteins during EGF signal transduction are parallel with those during insulin stimulation,except the dynamic behaviors of 4 proteins are different significantly.CONCLUSION: Aforementioned 4 phosphorylated proteins were most probably the key members that could distinguish between two signal transduction pathways ornetworks,and determined their major physiological functions respectively.

To optimize Chinese hamster ovary (CHO)expression system and establish a process of screening CHO cell lines with high productivity;neomycin-phosphotransferase (NPT)expressed by the resistance marker gene on the expression vector was mutated with amino acid D at 261 changed to G.After selection by culturing with G418;the survival rate of CHO cells bearing mutant-NPT was significantly lower than that of the cells bear-ing wide type NPT.An enhanced green fluorescent protein (EGFP)was genetically linked to the N terminus of the IgG1 Fc fragment part to generate an EGFP-Fc fusion protein regarded as a report gene;which verified that the resistance of mutant-NPT to G418 was weakened.By comparing fluorescence assay of EGFP intensity in stable transfections after selection with the same concentration of G418 for 3 weeks;mutant-selected pools expressed more exogenous protein than the WT-selected pools.Therefore;the ratio of high producers in a transfected cell population greatly increased.

Objective To investigate the effects of autoantibodies (β1-AA) against second extra-cellular loop of the β1-adrenergic receptor (β1-AR-ECⅡ) in sera of patients with dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) on proliferation of rat CD4+T lymphocytes.Methods β1-AA in the sera of patients with DCM was purified by affinity chromatography .CD4+T lymphocytes were isolated by immunomagnetic microbeads from peripheral blood mononuclear cells of rats and its positive rate was detected by flow cytometry .CCK-8 meth-od was used to detect the proliferation of CD 4+T lymphocytes and flow cytometry was performed to measure the ratio of CD4+/CD8+T lymphocyte .Results The purity of isolated rat CD 4+T lymphocytes by immu-nomagnetic microbeads reached 97.7%.The proliferation of CD4+T lymphocytes stimulated by CD3/CD28 was inhibited by β1-AA in a concentration-dependent manner .However , IgG antibodies extracted from sera of healthy controls did not suppress lymphocyte proliferation (P>0.05).The suppression effect of β1-AA was inhibited after binding to antigenic peptides corresponding to β1-AR-ECⅡ and was completely blocked by metoprolol, a specific antagonist of β1-adrenergic receptor (β1-AR).In addition,β1-AA had no effects on the ratio of CD4+/CD8+T lymphocyte .Conclusion β1-AA isolated from DCM patients suppresses the pro-liferation of CD4+T lymphocytes through β1-AR pathway , which indicates that β1-AA can directly reduce the number of T lymphocytes and impair the function of T lymphocytes , resulting in immune system disorders and the development of DCM .
