ASCT2 is a Na+-dependent neutral amino acid transporter in brush-border membrane of intestinal epithelial cells.The activity accounts for the majority of intestinal luminal neutral amino acid absorption,such as alanine,serine,cysteine,threonine,glutamine,asparagine and so on.The study about molecular and functional characteristics of ASCT2 will help to the understanding of bowel function,and offer the potential for developing new treatments for short bowel syndrome and other bowel dysfunction conditions.

Objective To observe the influence of dexamethasone on M1 BMDM and alveolar macrophage differentiation in respiratory syncytial virus ( RSV) infected mice.Methods Culture M1 BMDM and identify its phenotype, observe the effect of DEX on its transcription factors and cytokines; In RSV infected mice, observe the influence of DEX on the transcription factors and cytokines of alveolar macrophage.Results DEX can inhibit IL-6, IL-12, iNOS and IRF5 expression, but promote IL-10, Arginase-1 and IRF4 expression in M1 BMDM and alveolar macrophages of RSV infected mice, made M1 macrophages transform to M2 macrophages.Conclusion DEX can transform M1 macrophages to M2 macrophages in vivo and in vitro, and inhibit inflammation, this may be one of the mechanism of DEX in the treatment of RSV infection.

Purpose:To study the biological effects of high secreted canstatin on human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVEC) and tumor model. Methods:Hypoxic responsive elements (HREs) were inserted in the upper stream of canstatin cDNA of a recombinant vector we constructed in a former research. The new recombinant vector named pCMV-3HRE-CEAS-Cans was transferred into A549 cells by cationic liposome; canstatin mRNA expression in the transformed cells under oxic and anoxic condition was detected by Taqman PCR. Then we designed a co-cultured assay: HUVECs were co-cultured with recombinant vector transformed A549 cells with Transwell plates, and the proliferation and apoptosis of co-cultured HUVECs were evaluated with 3H-thymidine incorporation method, TUNEL method respectively. Finally the vector was introduced into tumor tissues of lung cancer-bearing nude mice, and the biological activity in the tumor tissues was tested by micro-vessel count (MVC). A vector of canstatin we constructed before was used as controls in above experiments.Results:The pCMV-3HRE-CEAS-Cans vector was successfully constructed and transferred into A549 cells. canstatin mRNA was detected both in the recombinant vector transformed A549 cells and the pCMV-CEAS-Cans transformed A549 cells, moreover the expression of canstatin in the new vector transformed A549 was significantly higher than that of the controls under hypoxic condition. ~(3)H-TdR intake rate of HUVECs was decreased markedly, and a large amount of them underwent apoptosis when they were co-cultured with recombinant vector transformed A549 cells. Significant differences of ~(3)H-TdR intake rate and apoptotic rate of co-cultured HUVEC were found between pCMV-3HRE-CEAS-Cans group and any of the controls (P

Objective To investigate the expression and characteristics distribution of ciliary neurotrophic factor (CNTF) and its receptor during the development of retina of healthy Sprague-Dawley(SD)and Royal College of Surgeons (RCS) rats with hereditary retinal degeneration. Methods The expression and distribution of ciliary neurotrophic factor and its receptor were detected by immunohistochemical staining in the retinal paraffin sections of SD and RCS rats from newborn to 12 moths old. Results In the normal retina of SD rats 0-7 days after birth, positive CNTF staining was found in all of the retinal layers and the staining of ganglion cells strengthened and other cells weakened as the age of rats increased; the staining of ganglion cells reached the peak at the 4th week and lasted till the agedness. The same results of the CNTF staining were also found in RCS rats retina. Weak positive staining of CNTFR in all of the retinal layers was seen in the 0-3-day-old SD rats; the ganglion cells were darkly stained and incontinuous positive staining at the site which would develop to be the external segment was found; as the age increased, the positive staining of external segment of photoreceptor enhanced and reached the peak at the 14-28th day after birth. At the 56th day, the staining of ganglion cells in retina of SD rats was strengthened while the staining of external segment weakened till the agedness. The expression of CNTFR in retina of 3-14-day-old RCS rats was the same as which of normal SD rats basically, but the staining of external segment weakened obviously from the 21st day on, and negative staining of external and positive ganglion cells were detected at the 28th day till the agedness. Conclusions Expression of CNTF in normal SD rats and RCS rats with hereditary retinal degeneration is almost the same. The presence of significant difference of expression of CNTFR between normal SD rats retina and RCS rats retina may provide the experimental gist for the CNTF treatment to retinal degeneration.

Objective To construct an effective expression system for secretory canstatin, and to study its biological effects. Methods Canstatin cDNA was ligated with the cDNA of CEA signal peptide by SOE PCR, and the new fused fragment was cloned into eukaryotic expression vector pCMV-Script. The recombination vector pCMV-CEAS-Cans was transferred into human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUV-EC) and human lung adeno-carcinoma cell line A549 by cationic liposome. The expression of canstatin mRNA together with CEAS mRNA in the transformed cells were detected by real time PCR method. Results Canstatin mRNA was detected in both transformed cells. The 3 H-TdR intake rate in pCMV-CEAS-Cans transformed HUVEC cells is significant lower than that of the pCMV-Script transformed cells (P

Objective: To optimize the formula and preparation process of docetaxel-loaded pluronic P123 micelles. Methods:Docetaxel-loaded pluronic P123 micelles were prepared by a thin-film hydration method and optimized by central composite design and response surface methodology. The influencing factors including the quantity of docetaxel, volume of organic phase, volume of hydra-tion and temperature of hydration were investigated with the entrapment efficiency as the index. The morphology of micelles was ob-served under a transmission electron microscope. The particle diameter and zeta potential were determined. The in vitro release property was measured by a dialysis method. Results:The relationship between the influencing factors and the evaluation parameter was fitted by multi-linear equation, quadratic polynomial equation and cubic polynomial equation, respectively. The results showed that the cubic polynomial equation was superior to the others according to the correlation coefficient. Docetaxel-loaded pluronic P123 micelles were spherical with the mean diameter, zeta potential, polydispersity index, encapsulation efficiency and drug loading of 108. 3 nm,-3. 99 mV, 0. 265, (97. 91 ± 0. 28)% and (3. 72 ± 0. 12)%, respectively. The cumulative release in vitro reached 95. 03% in 120 h, and docetaxel-loaded pluronic P123 micelles had notable sustained-release property. Conclusion: The technical process for do-cetaxel-loaded pluronic P123 micelles is simple and usable, and docetaxel-loaded pluronic P123 micelles show high encapsulation effi-ciency and notable sustained-release property.
