Objective:To establish two differential gene expression profiles of qi-deficiency and blood stasis syndrome before or after safflower injection treatment by using gene chip technology;compared and analyzed to ensure the effective genes that are responsible for the therapeutic effects of safflower injection against qi-deficiency and blood stasis syndrome in rats.Furthermore,speculated the effect mechanism of the therapeutic genes.Methods:Fifteen SD rats were randomly divided into 3 groups (n=5):control group,model group,and medication group.Qi-deficiency and blood stasis model was established by subjecting the rats to hunger and fatigue for two weeks.After a week of the modeling,safflower injection (100 mg/kg/d) was administered daily via the tail vein for 7 days in medication group,and the rats in model group were injected with saline of the same volume.Control group received normal feeding.At the end of the experiment,rats were killed and whole blood was collected to evaluate the blood stream change and extract mRNAs in blood samples.Qualified mRNAs were reverse transcribed into cDNA which was then used in gene chip hybridization.The genes regulated by safflower injection were determined by the fluorescence signal and the functional mechanisms of safflower injection were confirmed by further querying genealogy databases and reviewing literatures.Results:After two weeks of the modeling,the whole blood viscosity under various shear rates was significantly increased in the model rats which showed faint,blood stasis and weight loss,indicating that the model is made successfully.The increased whole blood viscosity and qi-deficiency and blood stasis syndrome were obviously reversed by safflower injection treatment.Compared with the control group,252 genes up-regulated while 54 genes down-regulated in model group;compared with the model group,196 genes up-regulated while 32 genes down-regulated.Among these,16 differentially expressed genes were involved in inflammation and immune response.Conclusions:Safflower injection was effective in treating qi deficiency and blood stasis syndrome,which was achieved by regulating inflammation related genes.

Objective:To evaluate the role of spinal mammlian target of rapamycin (mTOR)/ribosomal S6 kinase 1 (S6K1)/glioma associated oncogene homolog 1 (Gli1) signaling pathway in chronic morphine tolerance in mice.Methods:Healthy male Kunming mice, aged 8-10 weeks, weighing 23-25 g, were used in the study.The experiment was performed in two parts.Experiment I Fifty mice were randomly assigned into 2 groups: normal saline group (group S, n=10) and morphine group (group M, n=40). In M and S groups, morphine and normal saline 10 mg/kg were injected subcutaneously, respectively, twice a day for 7 consecutive days.The thermal pain threshold (TPT) was measured and the maximum analgesic effect percentage (MPE) was calculated at 1 day before administration and 30 min after the last administration every day.Ten mice in each group were randomly selected and sacrificed after measurement of TPT at 1, 3, 5 and 7 days after administration in group M and after the last measurement of TPT in group S, and the lumbar segment (L 4-6) of the spinal cord was removed.Experiment Ⅱ Forty mice were randomly divided into 4 groups ( n=10 each): KU-0063794+ morphine group (group KU+ M), dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO)+ morphine group (group DM+ M), morphine+ KU-0063794 group (group M+ KU) and morphine + DMSO group (group M+ DM). Morphine 10 mg/kg was injected subcutaneously twice a day for 7 consecutive days in 4 groups.At 1-3 days of morphine injection, mTOR specific inhibitor KU-0063794 200μl (1 μg/μl) and 10% DMSO 200 μl was injected intraperitoneally in KU+ M group and DM+ M group at 30 min before administration twice a day.At 5-7 days of morphine injection, KU-0063794 200μl (1 μg/μl) or 10% DMSO 200 μl was injected intraperitoneally in group M+ KU or group M+ DM at 30min before administration, respectively, twice a day.TPT was measured and MPE was calculated at 1 day before morphine injection and at 30 min after the last administration every day.The animals were sacrificed after the last measurement of TPT, and the lumbar segment (L 4-6) of the spinal cord was removed for determination of the expression of spinal mTOR, phosphorylated mTOR (p-mTOR), S6K1, phosphorylated S6K1 (p-S6K1) and Gli1 (using Western blot). Results:Experiment Ⅰ Compared with group S, MPE was significantly increased at each time point after administration at 3, 5 and 7 days after administration, expression of spinal p-mTOR, p-S6K1 and Gli1 was significantly down-regulated ( P<0.05), and no significant change was found in mTOR and S6K1 in group M ( P>0.05). Experiment Ⅱ Compared with group DM+ M, MPE was significantly decreased at 3-7 days after morphine injection, expression of p-mTOR, p-S6K1 and Gli1 in spinal cord was down-regulated ( P<0.05), and no significant change was found in expression of mTOR and S6K1 in group KU+ M ( P>0.05). Compared with group M+ DM, MPE was significantly increased at 6-7 days after morphine injection, expression of p-mTOR, p-S6K1 and Gli1 in spinal cord was down-regulated ( P<0.05), and no significant change was found in mTOR and S6K1 in group M+ KU ( P>0.05). Conclution:Spinal mTOR/S6K1/Gli1 signaling pathway is involved in the development and maintenance of chronic morphine tolerance in mice.

Objective To investigate the immunogenicity of mycobacteriophage D29 (phage D 29) in guinea pig models with different delivery routes,and provide information for the application of phages in tuberculosis (TB) therapy.Methods Hartley guinea pigs were administrated with phage D29 through inhalation,intranasal drop or subcutaneous injection for 6 times within 35 days.7H9 broth aerosol inhalation and 0.85 ％ NaCl solution aerosol inhalation were set as solvent and negative controls,respectively.Anti-phage D29 neutralizing antibodies in sera collected weekly were measured by phage reduction neutralizing test (PRNT) and cytokine levels (interleukin-2,interleukin-4 and interferon-γ) were detected at day 35 by enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA).The data were analyzed by ANOVA and nonparametric test.ResultsNeutralizing antibodies were both negative in two control groups,while low-titer neutralizing antibodies (below 1 ∶ 100) appeared in inhalation and intranasal drop groups only at day 7 and day 14. Nevertheless, neutralizing antibodies were continuously detected in subcutaneous injection group,which increased rapidly and reached 1∶ 16 365.6 at day 35. After 35 days of experiments,serum concentrations of interleukin-2 (x2 =2.7605,P＞0.05),interleukin-4 (F=2.17,P＞0.05) and interferon-γ(F=0.75,P＞0.05) among three treatment groups and two control groups were all not significantly different.ConclusionsThe titer of anti-phage 29 neutralizing antibodies induced by inhalation or intranasal drop administration of phage D29 are both significantly lower than subcutaneous injection.Phage D29 administration doesn’t change the levels of cytokines,which indicates that it may not break the helper T cell (Th)1/Th2 balance.

[ ABSTRACT] AIM:To investigate the effects of tanshinone IIA ( Tan IIA) on proliferation, apoptosis and its mo-lecular mechanism in human hepatoma HepG2 cells under hypoxic condition.METHODS:Hypoxia model was established by treatment with cobalt chloride ( CoCl2 ) .The cells were divided into normoxia control group, hypoxia control group and hypoxia combined at different concentrations of Tan IIA groups.After HepG2 cells were incubated with different concentra-tions of Tan IIA (0.5, 1.0, 2.0, 5.0 and 10.0 mg/L) for 24 h, 48 h and 72 h under hypoxic condition, the cell prolifer-ation was determined by MTT assay.After Tan IIA was added to the media at different concentrations for 24 h and 48 h, the apoptotic cells were observed by Hoechst 33258 staining.The protein levels of hypoxia-inducible factor 1 alpha (HIF-1α) , vascular endothelial growth factor ( VEGF) and wild-type P53 were detected by Western blotting after cultured with different concentrations of Tan IIA for 48 h.RESULTS:Tan IIA inhibited the proliferation of HepG2 cells in a dose-and time-dependent manner.Tan IIA induced the typical morphology of apoptotic cells and increased the apoptotic rate in a dose-and time-dependent manner after treatment with 1.0 mg/L~5.0 mg/L for 24 h and 48 h under hypoxic condition. The protein levels of HIF-1αand VEGF were weakly expressed in HepG2 cells under normoxia but up-regulated after incu-bated under hypoxia for 48 h.The protein expression of HIF-1αand VEGF were decreased with the increase in the concen-tration of Tan IIA under hypoxia.The protein expression of wild-type P53 was increased with the increase in the concentra-tions of Tan IIA under hypoxia.CONCLUSION:Tan IIA significantly inhibits the proliferation and induces the apoptosis of human hepatoma HepG2 cells under hypoxia, which may be related to the down-regulation of HIF-1αand VEGF and up-regulation of wild-type P53.

Aim To investigate the mechanism of demethylation on adenosine (ADO )and homocysteine (HCY)-induced apoptosis in human hepatoma HepG2 cells .Methods HepG 2 cells were treated with differ-ent concentrations of ADO (1.0、2.0、4.0 mol · L-1 ) alone or in combination with HCY for 6h,12h and 24h,5-aza-2-deoxycytidine (5-Aza-CdR)as a positive control.Cell viabilities were assessed by CCK8 assay. Cell apoptosis was observed by AnnexinV-FITC/PI staining.The mitochondrial membrane potentials(ΔΨ) were measured by flow cytometry.The mRNA and pro-tein expressions of caspase-3,caspase-8,caspase-9, MDM-2,p53,Cytochrome C,DNMT1,DNMT3a,DN-MT3 b were detected by RT-qPCR and Western blot re-spectively.Results ADO alone or in combination with HCY significantly reduced the viability of HepG2 cells in a dose and time-dependent manner.The apoptotic rates of HepG2 cells after combination treatment with ADO and HCY at 1 .0,2.0,4.0 mol · L-1 for 24 h were (1 8.63 ± 1.25 )%,(29.42 ±2.37 )% and (42.47 ±3.09 )%,compared with the control group (1.30 ±0.82 )%,P <0.01;and the mitochondrial membrane potentials were decreased from 674.15 ± 82.8%(black control group)to (428.38 ±54.5)%, (297.78 ±30.5)%,(74.45 ±5.73)%,P<0.01, respectively.The expressions of caspase-3,caspase-8, caspase-9,MDM-2,p53,Cytochrome C were up-regula-ted and MDM-2 were down-regulated after combination treatment of ADO and HCY.The mRNA expressions of DNMT1 ,DNMT3 a and DNMT3 b were down-regulated after combination treatment with ADO and HCY or 5-Aza-CdR alone.Conclusion Combination treatment of ADO and HCY can cause cellular methylation chan-ges.The effects of demethylation of ADO and HCY may activate p53 gene and mitochondrial pathway, which at last leads to HepG2 cell apoptosis.
