Obective To evaluate the effects of dihydrotestosterone (DHT) on the expression of sterol regulatory element-binding protein-1c (SREBP-1c) in human HaCaT keratinocytes.Methods HaCaT cells were cultured in vitro and classified into 4 groups,i.e.,control group receiving no treatment,DIIT group treated with 3 different concentrations (10,100,1000 nmol/L) of DHT,LY294002 plus DHT group treated with DHT of 100 nmol/L after 40-minute pretreatment with the PI3K inhibitor LY294002 of 50 μmol/L,PD98059 plus DHT group treated with DHT of 100 nmol/L after 40-minute pretreatment with the MEK inhibitor PD98059 of 50 μmol/L.After another 24-hour culture,real time PCR and Western blot were carried out to detect the expression of SREBP-1c mRNA and protein in HaCaT cells,respectively.Western blot was also performed to determine the phosphorylation levels of protein kinase B (AKT),extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK),p38 mitogen activated protein kinase and c-Jun N-terminal kinase (JNK) in the HaCaT cells.Results DHT could enhance the expression of SREBP-1c mRNA and protein in HaCaT cells in a concentration-dependent manner,and induce the phosphorylation of AKT and ERK,but not that of P38 or JNK.The expressions of SREBP-1c mRNA and protein were significantly decreased in HaCaT cells treated with LY294002 plus DHT (7.4780 ± 1.2638 vs.21.6170 ± 2.2759,t =9.406,P ＜ 0.05; 0.7113 + 0.0313 vs.2.2577 + 0.0601,t =39.498,P ＜ 0.05),but experienced no statistical changes in those treated with PD98059 and DHT(both P ＞ 0.05),compared with those treated with DHT only.Conclusion DHT can induce the expression of SREBP-1c mRNA and protein in HaCaT cells,likely via the PI3K/AKT signaling pathway.

ObjectivesTo investigate the expression of glucose regulated protein 78 (GRP78), CCAAT/enhancer binding protein homologous protein (CHOP) and cysteine asparate protease-12 (caspase-12) and neuronal apoptosis in the brain of zebraifsh larvae after hypoxia reperfusion, and the neuroprotective effect of taurine.Methods Five day old post-fertilization zebraifsh larvae were randomly assigned into 3 groups, control group, hypoxia reperfusion group (model group) and taurine group, and the taurine group was further divided into 3 subgroups according to different concentrations (1 mmol/L, 5 mmol/L, 10 mmol/L) with 100 zebraifsh larvae each. The behavior, recovery time and median survival time of those zebraifsh larvae after hypoxia with 1h reperfusion were observed and recorded. The pathological changes and apoptosis of neurons were detected by Nissl staining and terminal deoxynucleotidyltransferase-mediated dUTP nick end-labeling. The expression of GRP78, CHOP and caspase-12 in the brain of zebrafish larvae were detected by Western blot.Results Compared with the model group, the recovery time was shortened, the median survival time was extended, the Nissl stained neurons was increased and the apoptotic neurons were decreased in the taurine groups. GRP78, CHOP and caspase-12 were expressed in model group and taurine group. The expression of GRP78, CHOP and caspase-12 was much lower in taurine group than in model group.Conclusions Hypoxia reperfusion may induce endoplasmic reticulum stress and taurine may be neuroprotective against hypoxia reperfusion by down-regulating GRP78, CHOP and caspase-12.

Objective:To observe the effect of Gegen Qinlian decoction on serum high sensitive C-reactive protein(hs-CRP)expres-sion of rats with periodontitis and atherosclerosis(P-AS).Methods:40 male Wistar rats were randomly divided into 2 groups:control group(A,n=1 0),P-AS group(B,n=30).5 rats in group A and B were used for the identification of P-AS model.Then rats with P-AS in group B were randomly divided into 5 groups(n=5)and administered with saline(B1 ),atorvastatin(B2),metronidazole (B3),atorvastatin+metronidazole(B4)and Gegen Qinlian decoction(B5)respectively for 4 weeks.Serum hs-CRP level was assayed by ELISA.Periodontal attachment loss(AL)and artery change were examined by pathology.Results:Serum hs-CRP level in group B1-5 was higher than that of group A(P<0.01 ).Serum hs-CRP level of group B4 and B5 was lower than that of group B1-3(P<0.01 ),B4 vs B5,P>0.05.The inflammation of periodontal tissues in group B2-5 was improved more than that in group B1 .AL in group B4 and B5 were lower than that in other groups(P<0.01 ),B4 vs B5,P>0.05.Histopathological observation of arteries re-vealed that there was no foam cell in group B4 and B5 ,the artery wall in group B4 and B5 was more even and muscle fibers were ar-ranged more regular.Conclusion:Gegen Qinlian decoction may decreas serum hs-CRP expression and depress the development of pe-riodontitis and atherosclerosis.

Objective To reconstitute hair follicles in mice using graft chambers,and to study the effect of different cell types on hair follicle regeneration.Methods Full-thickness skin was obtained from the back of C57BL/6 neonatal mice.Then,epidermal cell suspensions were prepared by shredding epidermis after trypsinization,hair follicles and dermal cells were collected by filtration,low-speed centrifugation and density gradient centrifugation,and hair follicle epithelial cells were obtained via trypsinization of hair follicles followed by filtration.Nude mice were classified into four groups to be transplanted with epidermal cells + follicular buds,dermal cells alone,epidermal cells + follicular buds + dermal cells,follicular epithelial cells + dermal cells,respectively.The cells were implanted into the dorsal skin of nude mice using fold chambers.After the grafting,the growth of skin and hairs was observed at the grafted sites on week 1,2,4 and 8,and skin specimens were obtained on week 2,4,and 8 for histological study of hair follicles using hematoxylin-eosin staining.Results After grafting,the chambers on the back of nude mice began to shed with crust formation on week 1; stunted hairs came out and follicle-like structures were seen under the microscope on week 2 at the grafted sites,normal hairs were observed on week 4 and 8 in all the mice except for those transplanted with epidermal cells + follicular buds,and the growth of hairs in mice grafted with epidermal cells + follicular buds + dermal cells and mice grafted with follicular epithelial cells +dermal cells was superior to that in mice grafted with dermal cells alone.Conclusions Hair follicles can regenerate after hair follicle cell transplantation into dorsal chambers in nude mice.Both epidermal cells and dermal cells play indispensable roles in hair follicle reconstitution.
