4.Dexamethasone induces osteoblast conversion of bone morphogenic protein-2 modified bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells in rabbits
Chinese Journal of Tissue Engineering Research 2008;12(2):377-380
BACKGROUND: Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) can differentiate into osteoblasts in the action of dexamethasone; Meanwhile, bone morphogenetic protein-2 (BMP-2) can promote the cell proliferation and differentiation, and matrix secretion in the process of bone repair. BMP-2 plays an important role in treating fracture and bone defects by inducing bone formation both in vivo and in vitro.OBJECTIVE: To analyze whether dexamethasone induction in vitro could enhance the ability of BMP-2 modified MSCs in osteogenic conversion.DESIGN: A randomized paired design.SETTING: Xijing Hospital of the Fourth Military Medical University of Chinese PLA.MATERIALS: The experiments were carried out in the Orthopaedic Oncology Institute of Chinese PLA, the Fourth Military Medical University of Chinese PLA from February to August in 2004. Twenty 20-month-old New Zealand rabbits were provided by the experimental animal center of the Fourth Military Medical University of Chinese PLA [Certificate number: 2005C00117]. The rabbits were raised normally at room temperature with normal humidity. The samples were collected bilaterally, the cells from the left limb were taken as the dexamethasone-induced group, and those from the right limb as the control group.METHODS: MSCs treated and untreated with dexamethasone were transfected with BMP-2 gene, then the BMP-2 expression was determined by reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) and immunohistochemical staining. The growths of the MSCs were observed, and the activity of alkaline phosphatase (ALP) and osteocalcin of MSCs were determined with ALP kit and osteocalcin radioimmunoassay kit after Ad-BMP-2 transfection.MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: ① BMP-2 expression in MSCs; ② Morphological changes of the MSCs; ③ ALP activity and osteocalcin content in the MSCs. RESULTS: ① Expressions of BMP-2 gene could be observed in MSCs both treated and untreated with dexamethasone after transfection. ② The forms were irregular in most of the MSCs treated with dexamethasone, appeared as triangular or polygonal changes.They grew more slowly than those cultured with basic medium. There were no obvious changes of cellular forms after gene transfection. ③ Five days after transgene, the ALP activity in the MSCs supernatant in the dexamethasone-induced group was higher than that in the control group [(134.36±8.84), (104.02±7.83) nkat/L, t =3.350 6, P < 0.01, n =20]. The amount of osteocalcin secretion in MSCs in the dexamethasone-induced group was higher than that in the control group [(14.68±0.73), (6.52±1.21) μg/L, t =3.568 2, P < 0.01, n =20].CONCLUSION: Dexamethasone induction before transgene can promote the proliferation of BMP-2 modified MSCs and the conversion into osteoblasts.

Aim To investigate the change of molecu-lar expression related to coagulation and fibrinolysis in human microvascular endothelial cells ( HMEC ) in-duced by activated complement alternative pathway and effect of pyrrolidine dithiocarbamate ( PDTC ) and res-veratrol on intervention. Methods Normal human se-rum was activated by cobra venom factor ( CVF) . After exposure of HMEC to activated complement for various times, supernatant was removed and assayed for ex-pressions of P-selectin, VWF, t-PA, PAI-1, TF, TM, and NO by using reagent kits. The expressions of the above molecules in HMEC pretreated with PDTC and resveratrol were also investigated. Results P-selectin and VWF were rapidly released by endothelial cells and the expression reached the peak at the time point of 15 min. The expressions of t-PA, PAI-1, and TF were continuously upregulated, whereas NO and TM were decreased. PDTC and resveratrol inhibited the upregulation of P-selectin, VWF, t-PA, PAI-1 and TF, and intervened the downregulation of NO. Res-veratrol further downregulated the expression of TM. Conclusion Activated complement alternative path-way can influence the expression of molecules related to coagulation and fibrinolysis in HMEC, and PDTC and resveratrol can affect this change.

Objective To investigate the change of inflammatory factor and blood coagulation in patients with laparo?scopic gastric cancer radical surgery. Methods Data of seventy-seven stomach cancer patients hospitalized in our hospital and received the surgical treatment from June 2012 to June 2014 were retrospectively analyzed. Thirty-eight of these pa?tients underwent laparoscopic treatment (laparoscopic group) and 39 cases received laparotomy treatment (laparotomy group). The values of interleukin-6 (IL-6), IL-8 and tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-α) were analyzed at the time points of preop?eration and 6 h, 24 h after the surgery in two groups. The levels of activated partial thromboplastin time (APTT), prothrombin time (PT), international standardization ration (INR), fibrinogen (FIB) and D dimer (D-D) were also analyzed at the same time points in two groups. The postoperative thrombosis and tumor recurrence rate were also analyzed in two groups of pa?tients. Results There were no significant differences in the gender, age, the size of tumor, differentiation degree and TNM staging between two groups of patients. The serum levels of IL-6, IL-8 and TNF-αwere significantly increased after surgery in two groups (P < 0.01), and which were significantly higher in laparotomy group than those of laparoscopic group (P<0.01). The levels of APTT, PT and INR were significantly lower after surgery in two groups of patients, and which were signifi?cantly lower in laparoscopic group than those of laparotomy group (P<0.05). The levels of FIB and D-D were significantly increased after operation in two groups of patients (P<0.05), which were significantly higher in laparoscopic group than those of laparotomy group (P<0.05). The postoperative recurrence of cancer was less in laparoscopic group than that of lapa?rotomy group. But, the postoperative thrombosis was more in laparoscopic group than that of laparotomy group. Conclusion There was less release of inflammatory mediators and less effect on the body’s immune function in patients with laparoscopic gastric cancer radical surgery. But, the surgery has a large influence in blood coagulation, we should pay attention to it in the clinical treatment.

As is known, H-Y antigens (male specific minor histompatibility antigens) are a group of minor histocompatibility antigens encoded on the Y-chromosome with homologous H-X antigens on the X-chromosome. H-Y antigens were originally discovered as transplant antigens, and they are only expressed in male individuals without specificity for different tissues and organs. A lot of research results show that H-Y antigens play an important role in the sex selection and identification. The paper reviews the above and discusses the application prospect of H-Y antigen in forensic science.

Journal of Chinese Physician 2001;0(03):-
Objective To investigate and compare the killing effects of different prodrugs combined with suicide gene HSV-tk on laryngocacinoma cell, Hep-2 in vitro. Methods Retroviral expressing vector pL(tk)SN was constructed by recombinant DNA technology. Hep-2 cells were infected by the recombinant retrovirus. The positive cloning was obtained after G418 selection and were termed Hep/tk. The integration and expression of tk gene in Hep-2 cells were identified by RT-PCR and Southern blot. The growth state and prodrugs killing effect of tk gene modified cells were used to investigate the expression of tk gene and antitumour effect on Hep-2 cells. Results RT-PCR and Southern blot analysis confirmed the integration and expression of tk gene in Hep-2 cells. There was no significant difference in cell proliferation between the Hep/tk and Hep-2. After the treatment of GCV,the Hep/tk showed high sensitivity to GCV and bystander effects were observed siginificantly in vitro. However the efficiency of another two prodrugs ACV and BVdU was lower than that of GCV. Both tk-positive and tk-negative Hep-2 cells were relatively insensitive to ACV and BVdU.Treatment of tk gene modified cells mixed with different proportion parental cells shoewd obviously bystander effects.Conclusions The laryngocarcinoma cells Hep-2 have sensitive to HSV-tk/GCV system and have significant bystander effects, which might have therapeutic potential value for laryngocarcinoma.
