BACKGROUND:Cardiac stem cels transplanted to the myocardial infarction area can effectively improve ventricular remodeling and promote heart function. But the survival rate of transplanted cels is lower in the infracted area under hypoxic microenvironment. Hypoxia inducing factor 1 alpha under anoxic conditions can stably express, and meanwhile increase the activity and survival ability of myocardial cels. OBJECTIVE:To elaborate the research progress in hypoxia inducing factor 1 alpha-transfected cardiac stem cels for treatment of myocardial infarction from the folowing aspects: cardiac stem cel characteristics, mechanism underlying myocardial protection of hypoxia inducing factor 1 alpha, selection of carriers and transplantation approach. METHODS: A computer-based search of CNKI and PubMed was performed for articles related to cardiac stem cels and hypoxia inducing factor 1 alpha published from January 2000 to January 2015. The keywords were “cardiac stem cels, hypoxia inducible factor 1(HIF-1a), gene delivery” in Chinese and English, respectively, which appeared in the title and abstract. Finaly, 37 relevant articles were enroled in result analysis. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Several studies have confirmed that hypoxia inducing factor 1 alpha can improve the survival rate of cardiac stem cels under anoxic conditions. Increasing evidences from animal experiments have shown that cardiac stem cels and hypoxia inducing factor 1 alpha exert protective and repairing effects on myocardial infarction. Currently, there is no successful report about hypoxia inducing factor 1 alpha gene transfection of cardiac stem cels, but relevant studies are proceeding. Gene modified cardiac stem cels are expected to be widely used in clinic.

Objective To investigate the effects of propofol on activation of NF-κB in polymorphonuclear neutrophils (PMNs) in rats with LPS-induced acute lung injury (ALI). Methods Sixty healthy SD rats of both sexes, aged 3 months, weighing 250-350 g, were randomly divided into 5 groups (n = 12 each):control group (group C), ALI group and 3 different dose of propofol groups (group P1, P2, P3). The animals were anesthetized with intraperitaneal 3% pentobarbital sodium 40 mg/kg. LPS 5 mg/kg was injected via femoral vein in group ALI.Propofol 5, 10 and 15 mg· kg- 1· h- 1 was infused intravenously over 2 h immeliately after injection of LPS 5 ng/kg through femoral vein in group P1, P2 and P3 respectivey. In group C normal saline 10 ml was injected via femoral vein instead. All rats were killed by exsanguination at the end of infusion of propofol. The right lung was removed for microscopic examination. The morphologic changes were scored 0-3 (0 = normal, 3 = severe morphologic changes). Blood samples were collected from carotid artery for determination of the expression of total NF-κB and activated NF-κB in PMNs by Western blot. Results Compared with group C, morphologic change scores and activated NF-κB expression in PMNs were significantly increased in group ALI, P1 and P2, and morphologic change scores increased in group P3. Morphologic change scores in group P1 and P2 and activated NF-κB expression in PMNs in group P1, P2 and P3 were significantly decreased compared with those in group ALl. Morphologic change scores and activated NF-κB expression in PMNs were decreased gradually in group P1, P2 and P3 . There was no significant difference in total NF-κB expression in PMNs among all groups. Conclusion Propofol can attenuate ALI induced by LPS through inhibition of the activation of NF-κB in PMNs in rats.

The aquaporins (AQPs) are a group of highly selective water channel protein family. The content of AQP4 in the astrocytes of the brain is the highest. It is the most vital protein in central nerve system. It participates in a series of pathologic processes of cerebrovascular disorders, brain contusion, tumor, and inflammation caused cerebral edema.However, the mechanism of AQP4 in the process of cerebral edema formation remains controversial. Selective modulation of the expression of AQP4 and intervention in part of its role may provide novel ideas and means for the treatment of edema after cerebral ischemia in clinical practice.
