Aim To investigate whether rosuvastatin induced reduction of atherosclerotic plaque was related to the expression of Sialyltransferase ( ST6 Gal-Ⅰ) in ApoE-/ - mice. Methods Six-weeks old ApoE-/ -mice fed with high fat were divided randomly into three groups: baseline group ( n=12 ) , control group ( n=12 ) and rosuvastatin group ( n =12 ) . Sixteen weeks later, control group was sacrificed. Serum and aortic intima were saved. Control group and rosuvastatin group were fed for seven weeks continually. Concentra-tions of serum lipids(TC, TG, LDL and HDL) were analyzed. Sections from the aortic root were examined by Hematoxylin-Eosin( HE) staining. The size of ath-erosclerotic lesion in each section was evaluated. Ex-pression of ST6 Gal-Ⅰ in aortic intima was detected by immunohistochemistry. Results Plasma TG and LDL-C, plaque areas and intimal thickness of control group were significant higher than those of baseline group ( P<0. 05 ) . Those results indicated that the AS model was successfully constructed. After seven weeks, the plaque areas and concentrations of serum lipids of rosu-vastatin group were obviously smaller than those of con-trol group(P<0. 05). The expression of ST6Gal-Ⅰin aortic root was decreased in control group compared to the baseline, and which was increased in control group compared to the rosuvastatin group. Conclusion Ro-suvastatin could inhibit the progression of atherosclero-sis, which might be related to the expression of ST6Gal-Ⅰ in aortic root.

OBJECTIVETo observe the changes in expression of microRNA-203 and P63 in human epidermal stem cells and KCs, and to investigate their effects and significance in the epidermal proliferation and differentiation.

METHODS(1) Five normal foreskin tissue specimens were collected from 5 patients by circumcision in Department of Urinary Surgery of the First Affiliated Hospital of Nanchang University from March to June in 2013. Then single cell suspension was obtained by separating epidermis with trypsin digestion method. The cells were divided into quick adherent cells and non-quick adherent cells by type IV collagen differential adherent method. The biological characteristics of cells were observed by inverted phase contrast microscope immediately after isolation and on post culture day (PCD) 3. The expression of CD29, keratin 19, keratin 1, and keratin 10 was identified by immunocytochemical staining. The expression of microRNA-203 and mRNA of P63 was determined by real-time fluorescent quantitative RT-PCR. The protein expression of P63 was determined by Western blotting. Data were processed with t test and Pearson correlation analysis.

RESULTS(1) Immediately after isolation, quick adherent cells were small, round, and dispersed uniformly. On PCD 3, the cells adhered firmly, and they grew in clones. Immediately after isolation, non-quick adherent cells appeared in different shapes and sizes, and dispersed unevenly. On PCD 3, the cells adhered precariously and did not show clonal growth. Quick adherent cells showed positive expression of CD29 and keratin 19, while non-quick adherent cells showed positive expression of keratin 1 and keratin 10. Quick adherent cells were identified as epidermal stem cells, and non-quick adherent cells were identified as KCs. (2)The expression level of microRNA-203 in epidermal stem cells (0.74 ± 0.20) was lower than that in KCs (3.66 ± 0.34, t =16.582, P <0.001). The mRNA expression level of P63 in epidermal stem cells (4. 16 ± 0.28) was higher than that in KCs (2.90 ± 0.39, t =5. 850, P =0.001). The protein expression level of P63 in epidermal stem cells (1.42 ± 0.05) was higher than that in KCs (0.73 ± 0.03, t =26.460, P <0. 001). (3) The expression level of microRNA-203 was in significantly negative correlation with the expression levels of mRNA and protein of P63 (with r values respectively - 0. 94 and -0.98 , P values below 0.05).

CONCLUSIONSThe expression levels of microRNA-203 and P63 in human epidermal stem cells and KCs were significantly different, which might be related to the different characteristics of proliferation and differentiation of the cells.
