Objective To investigate the changes and roles of hypoxia inducible factor 1?(HIF 1?) expression in myocardial tissues in rats following severe scald. Methods Male Wistar rats inflicted with 40% TBSA Ⅲ degree scald were used as animal models. HIF 1? protein in myocardial tissues was detected by Western blot and immunohistochemical technique. Results HIF 1? protein expression in rat myocardial tissues increased significantly in the early stage following scald. The difference in HIF 1? level between the left and right ventricles was significant. The increased HIF 1? protein was mainly located in the nucleus. Conclusion HIF 1? protein expression in myocardial tissues of rats can be induced by severe scald and HIF 1? protein expression in the left ventricle is significantly higher than that in the right ventricle. The increased HIF 1? protein in the nucleus can induce downstream cytokine expression.

Objective To investigate the effect of high mobility group box-1 protein (HMGB1) on inter-leukin-2 (1L-2) and interleukin-2 receptor α (IL-2α) expressions in human T lymphocytes and its potential regulat-ing mechanism in vitro. Method Human T lymphocytes were isolated and suspended, the cells were cultured with 20 μg/mL phytohemagglutinin (PHA) in 5% CO_2 at 37 ℃, recombinant human HMGB1 (rhHMGB1, 0, 10, 100, 1000 ng/mL) was added with the PHA and cultures were centrifuged at 12 and 48 hours for cell collect-ing. Reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) amplification was perfomed to determine gene ex-pressions of IL-2, IL-2Rα. IL-2, sIL-2R protein levels in cell culture supematants were measured by ELIZA. Re-sults After coincubated with rhHMGB1 (10, 100, and 1000 ng/mL) for 12 hours, IL-2 levels in cell culture su-pernatants respectively were 0 . 064 ± 0. 017 μg/L, 0.076±0.033 μg/L, and 0.061 ±0.02 μg/L, which were significantly higher compared with the untreated cells (0.045±0.011 μg/L, P < 0.05 or P < 0.01). Mean-while, IL-2 mRNA expression was markedly up-regulated following rhHMGB1 stimulation in various doses (F = 4.6872, P < 0.01). At 48 bourn, however, both IL-2 mRNA expression and protein production tended to de-crease along with an increased dose of dd-IMGB1 stimulationn. IL-2/sIL-2R ratio in 1000 ng/mL rhHMGB1 was markedly lower than that in 10 ng/ml rhHMGB1 (0.036±0.015 vs.0.055±0.017, P <0.05), together with down-regulation of IL-2Rα mRNA expression(P <0.01). Conclusions These data indieated that HMGBI could marked influence the IL-2/IL-2R expression in human T lymphocytes. With the increase in stimulating doses and prolongation of time, HMGBI might down-regulate T cell-mediated immune response of human lymphocytes.

Objective Based the previous studies, the present study was performed to investigate the antagonistic effects of different doses of Astragaloside IV on the immune function of Treg mediated by HMGB1 in vitro and its potential mechanism.Methods CD4+CD25-T cells isolated from the spleens of male BABL/c mice by magnetic beads were seeded on 48-well cell culture plates and were randomly divided into four groups as follows(12 holes per group). Normal control group: CD4+CD25-T cells were cultured merely. Treg group: Tregs(100μl) and CD4+CD25-T cells were co-cultured in ratio of 1:10. HMGB1+Treg group: Tregs(100μl) stimulated by HMGB1(1μg/ml) for 72 h and CD4+CD25-T cells were co-cultured in ratio of 1∶10. HMGB1+AST IV+Treg group: Tregs(100μl) stimulated by HMGB1(1μg/ml) and AST IV(100μg/ml)for 72 h were co-cultured with CD4+CD25-T cells in ratio of 1:10. CD4+CD25-T cells and supernatants were again collected on post-culture 72 hour. The proliferation of CD4+CD25- T cells was analyzed by MTT test, the activity of NFAT and the contents of cytokines of IL-2 released into supernatants were also determined by means of ELISA. Results When CD4+CD25-T cells were co-cultured with Tregs, the cell proliferation(0.166±0.039) and the levels of NFAT(0.156±0.035) and IL-2(2.38±0.58) in supernatant were markedly decreased as compared with those in the control group(P<0.01). However, the contrary results were found when CD4+CD25-T cells were co-cultured with Treg stimulated by HMGB1. Compared with those in the(HMGB1+Treg) group, the contrary results were showed with a dose-dependent in the(HMGB1+ASTⅣ+Treg) group.Conclusion ASTⅣcan rivalry the effects of HMGB1 on immune function of Treg in vitro, this result indicate that ASTⅣhas the therapeutic action on inflammation promoted by HMGB1.
