Objective To study the expression of Akt and MAPK in the stomach and colon of slow transit constipation (STC) in rats, as well as the effect of exogenous glial cell line-derived neurotrophic factor (GDNF) on it. Methods Forty-four SD rats were divided into control group and model group randomly. The STC model group was established by gastric irrigation of rhubarb for 3.5 months. The control group was received normal saline. After model building, each group was equally divided into 2 subgroup randomly, administrated with exogenous GDNF and normal saline by vein injection for one week respectively. The expression of Akt and MAPK in stomach and colon was detected by immunohistochemistry.Results ( 1 ) The expression of Akt in the stomach tended to weaker in STC rats comparing with the normal rats ( P > 0. 05 ), but it was stronger in STC plus GDNF group than in STC group ( P < 0. 05 ). ( 2 ) The expression of Akt and MAPK in the colon was weaker in STC group than in the normal group ( all P <0. 05 ), and was stronger in STC plus GDNF group than in STC group ( all P < 0. 05 ). ( 3 ) The expression of MAPK in the stomach in STC group was weaker than in normal group (P < 0.05 ), and was stronger in STC plus GDNF group than in STC group (P <0.01 ). There was no significant difference among STC plus GDNF group, normal group and GDNF group (P > 0. 05 ). Conclusions Long term consumption of rhubarb could induce STC by down-regulating the expression of Akt and MAPK in digestive tract. Exogenous GDNF may have a potential role on the etiology of STC.

Objective To study the apoptosis pathway of human lung adenocarcinoma cell line A549 induced by 1-β-D-arabinofuranosylcytosine (Ara-C) in vitro. Methods A549 cells were incubated with Ara-C for 72hours in vitro. Biological changes of apoptotic cells were studied by TUNEL staining. Morphological changes of the A549 cells treated with Ara-C were observed by transmission electron microscope. The expressions of p53 and p73 were investigated by Western blotting. Results 1.Apoptotic rates of A549 cells exposure to Ara-C studied by TUNEL staining were higher than that of the control (P<0.01). 2.Apoptosis body was apparently observed by transmission electron microscope. 3.Endogenous p73 but not p53 was induced and activated in dose-dependent manner upon Ara-C treatment by Western blotting.Conclusion Ara-C can effectively induce apoptosis of A549 cells. DNA damage-induced apoptosis of A549 cells treated by Ara-C is independent of functional p53.Up-regulation of p73 may play an important role that enhances the sensitivity of A549 cells to Ara-C and be partly responsible for p53-independent apoptosis.

BACKGROUND:Chitosan is wel known as good biocompatibility and biodegradability;however, its extensive use in biomedical applications is restricted due to its poor transfection efficiency. OBJECTIVE:To prepare the polyethyleneimine-chitosan/DNA nanoparticles loading enhanced green fluorescent protein gene, and to detect their physicochemical properties and gene transfection efficiency towards chondrocytes in vitro.
METHODS:Low molecular weight polyethyleneimine was covalently linked to chitosan backbone to construct chitosan-graft-polyethyleneimine;then the chitosan-graft-polyethyleneimine was mixed with DNA nanoparticles, which loaded enhanced green fluorescent protein gene, by a complex coacervation method. The nanoparticle morphology was observed under a scanning electron microscopy. The sizes and zeta-potentials of the
nanoparticles were measured by a Marven-nano laser diffractometer. The binding capacity of plasmid DNA was evaluated by agarose gel electrophoresis analysis. The gene transfection experiments in vitro were performed towards rabbit’s chondrocytes. The gene transfection efficiency was measured with flow cytometry and under fluorescence microscope. How marked DNA entered into the nucleus of chondrocytes mediated by the nanoparticles was detected by laser scanning confocal microscopy.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:The prepared nanoparticles were mainly spherical, with an average size of (154.6±18.6) nm, and zeta-potential of (24.68±6.82) mV. The agarose gel electrophoresis analysis confirmed that the nanoparticles could effectively protect plasmid DNA from DNase Ⅰ-induced degradation. Gene transfection in vitro proved that the nanoparticles were efficient in transfecting rabbit’s chondrocytes and the expression of green fluorescent proteins was observed under fluorescent microscope, with a transfection efficiency of (23.80±1.74)%that was significantly higher than that of the naked plasmid DNA and chitosan/DNA nanoparticles (P<0.05). But no significant differences were observed between polyethyleneimine-chitosan/DNA nanoparticles and LipofectamineTM 2000. These findings indicate that the polyethyleneimine-chitosan/DNA nanoparticles can effectively protect plasmid DNA from nuclease degradation, and exhibit the favorable transfection ability towards articular chondrocytes.
