Objective To evaluate the role of signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 (STAT3) signaling pathway in the reduction of myocardial ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) injury by diazoxide postconditioning in rats.Methods Sixty adult male Sprague-Dawley rats,aged 3 months,weighing 240-260 g,were randomly divided into 5 groups (n =12 each):sham operation group (S group),I/R group,vehicle group (V group),diazoxide postconditioning group (D group),and STAT3 signaling pathway inhibitor Stattic group (St group).Myocardial I/R was produced by 30 min occlusion of left anterior descending branch of coronary artery followed by 120 min reperfusion.In V and D groups,0.4% dimethyl sulfoxide and 7 mg/kg diazoxide (in 1 ml of 0.4% dimethyl sulfoxide) were injected through the femoral vein at the onset of reperfnsion,respetively.In St group,Stattic was injected through the femoral vein 10 min before reperfusion,and the other procedures were the same as those in D group.The infarct size (IS) and myocardial apoptosis were detected by TTC staining and TUNEL,respectively.Apoptotic index (AI) was calculated.STAT3 mRNA expression in myocardial tissues was detected using RT-PCR.Western blot was used to detect the phosphorylation of STAT3.Results Compared with S group,the IS and AI were significantly increased and the expression of STAT3 mRNA and phosphorylation of STAT3 were decreased in I/R group (P < 0.05).Compared with I/R group,the IS and AI were significantly decreased and the expression of STAT3 mRNA and phosphorylation of STAT3 were increased in D group (P < 0.05).There was no significant difference in IS,AI,expression of STAT3 mRNA and phosphorylation of STAT3 between V group and St group (P >0.05).Compared with group D,the IS and AI were significantly increased and the expression of STAT3 mRNA and phosphorylation of STAT3 were decreased in St group (P < 0.05).Conclusion STAT3 signaling pathway is involved in the reduction of myocardial I/R injury by diazoxide postconditioning in rats.

OBJECTIVETo study the effect of aqueous extract of Taxus chinensis var. mairei (AETC) combined Erlotnib on the growth of A549 xenograft in nude mice and its mechanism.
METHODSThe xenograft model in nude mice was established by inoculating A549 cells subcutaneously. BALB/c nude mice bearing A549 xenograft were randomly divided into six groups, i.e., the low dose Erlotinib group (A) , the standard dose Erlotnib group (B) , the low dose Erlotinib combined AETC group (C), the standard dose Erlotnib combined AETC group (D), the AETC group (E), the control group (F), 12 in each group. Different medication was performed for 7 successive weeks after 24 h. One mL blood was withdrawn and tumor tissues taken. The tumor inhibition rate was calculated. The combined effect was analyzed by Jin's Formula [Q = Ea + b/(Ea + Eb-Ea x Eb) ]. mRNA and protein expression levels of epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR), cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2), and B cell lymphoma-2 (Bcl-2) in xenografts were detected using real-time RT-PCR and ELISA.
RESULTSCompared with Group F, the xenograft weight was obviously lowered in Group B-E (P < 0.05, P < 0.01). The q value was 0.92 in Group C and 0.96 in Group D, which was obtained by simple adding of the two drugs. Compared with Group F, EG- FR mRNA expression in Group D and E, COX-2 mRNA expression in Group A-E; Bcl-2 mRNA expression in Group B-D; COX-2 protein expression in Group B-E; Bcl-2 protein expression in Group C and D were obviously lowered with statistical difference (P < 0.05, P < 0.01).
CONCLUSIONSAETC combined low dose and standard dose Erlotinib had synergistic effect on tumor inhibition. Its mechanism might be associated with down-regulating mRNA and protein expression levels of COX-2 and Bcl-2.

OBJECTIVETo study the protective effect of puerarin on MPP(+) -induced SH-SY5Y cells by chaperone-mediated autophagy (CMA).
METHODThe Parkinson's disease cell model was established by injuring SH-SY5Y cells with 1 mmol x L(-1) MPP+. The CCK-8 staining was adopted to detect the effect the puerarin of different concentrations on the survival rate of MPP(+)-induced SH-SYSY cells. The autophagosome formation was observed under transmission electron microscope. The AO staining showed the changes in the lysosome activity. RT-PCR was used to detect the changes in Lamp2a and Hsc70 mRNA expressions. The western blotting was adopted to test the expressions of Lamp2a, Hsc70 and alpha-synuclein protein in cells.
RESULTWithin the concentration range of 12. 5-50.0 micromol x L(-1), the pretreatment with puerain for 30 minutes could protect the injury of MPP+ in SH-SY5Y cells, and showed a certain dose-effect relationship. The AO staining and electron microscope showed the effect of puerain within the concentration range of 12.5-50.0 micromol x L(-1) on 1 mmol x L(-1) MPP(+)-induced SH-SY5Y cells; autophagosomes emerged in cells, and increased along with the rise in the puerarin dose. The results of the flow cytometry revealed that 50.0 micromol x L(-1) of puerarin could protect against the increase of the ROS level in 1 mmol x L(-1) MPP(+) -induced SH-SY5Y cells and prevent the oxidative injury. The results of RT-PCR and western blotting indicated that puerain within the concentration range of 12.5-50.0 micromol x L(-1) alleviated the MPP(+)-induced SH-SY5Y cell injury, and inhibited the accumulation of alpha-synuclein proteins in MPP(+) -induced SH-SY5Y cells by up-regulating Hsc70, Lamp2a mRNA and protein level.
CONCLUSIONPuerarin could protect against the MPP(+) -induced cell injury, whose protective mechanism may be related to the chaperone-mediated autophagy pathway of interventional molecules.
