Objective To compare the proportion of CD3~+T cell and CD4~+CD25~(high) regulatory T cell (Treg cell) and the production of inferon γ ( IFN-γ) and interleukin-12 (IL-12) in peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) between patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) and healthy people, and to analyze the changes of CD3~+T cell, CD4~+CD25~(high)Treg cell, IFN-γ and IL-12 of NSCLC patients before and after chemotherapy, so as to determine immune function changes of NSCLC patients caused by chemotherapy. Methods Twenty NSCLC patients and 20 healthy volunteers according to the including criteria were selected. Three mL of blood was drawn from NSCLC patients before chemotherapy (0 d), on the 3~(rd) day (3 d) and 7~(th) day (7 d) after chemotherapy. PBMC cells were separated from the blood samples. The proportions of CD4~+CD25~(high)Treg cell and CD3~+T cell (%) in PBMC were tested by FACS, and the IFN-γ and IL-12 (pg/mL) in the supernatants were also detected. Results The proportions of CD3~+T cell in NSCLC patients on 0, 3 and 7 d were (55.15±20.11)%,(57.73±14.08)% and (62.79±7.80)%,respectively, and there was no statistical difference between any two of these results. The proportion of CD4~+CD25~(high)Treg cell in healthy volunteers was (2.14±0.85)%, while that of NSCLC patients was (2.76±0.53)% on 0 d with statistical difference compared to the healthy volunteers (P<0.05). The CD4~+CD25~(high)Treg cell proportion (%) of NSCLC patients on 3 d and 7 d were (2.54±0.57)% and (2.72±0.29)%, respectively, which were both significantly lower than that of 0 d. On 3 d it was even much lower than that on 7 d (P<0.05). IFN-γ and IL-12 of NSCLC patients on 0 d were (34.36±4.38) pg/mL and (33.24±4.36) pg/mL, and no statistical difference was observed when compared with (34.36±4.38) pg/mL and (33.24±4.36) pg/mL in the healthy volunteers. On 3 d and 7 d, IFN-γ of NSCLC patients were (40.42±5.66) pg/mL and (39.27±6.07) pg/mL, respectively, and both were higher than that on 0 d (P<0.05); IL-12 of NSCLC patients were (35.51±5.03) pg/mL and (38.62±6.44) pg/mL, also both were higher than that on 0 d (P<0.05). Conclusions This study suggests that chemotherapy can improve immune functions of NSCLC patients, and may reinforce the anti-tumor immune response.

Objective To investigate the effect of extracellular signal-regulated kinases(ERK) signal transduction in the process of NSCs differentiating into neurons in the fimbria-transected hippocampi's extracts. Methods Twelve Sprague-Dawley rats'right fimbrias were transected. The extracts were gained from the fimbria-transected hippocampi at the 14th day normal rat, and the extracts supernatant fluid was collected after centrifugal process, then the protein concentration in the extracts was determined. In the serum-free medium,NSCs from the fetal hippocampus were planted on 24 well culture plate, then were divided into three group and eight wells for each group as follows: the transected group contained the extracts of the fimbria-transected hippocampi;the normal group contained the extracts of the normal hippocampi;the pure control group have no extracts. After cultured for 14 days,the cells were detected by using MAP-2 and p-ERK immunofluorescence. Result The number, area, perimeter of MAP-2 positive neurons were all declined in transected group, the normal group and the control group orderly. Statistic results showed significant difference between every two groups. The number of MAP-2/p-ERK double-positive neurons were decreased in transected group, the normal group and the control group orderly, but the percentage of double-labeled neurons in total MAP-2 positive neurons were increased in turn. In these two aspect, there were also significant difference between every two group. And most of the MAP-2/p-ERK double-positive neurons were immature. Conclusion The extracts of the fimbria-transected hippocampi had obvious effects on promoting NSCs differentiating into neurons and speeding up the maturation of neurons than those of the normal hippocampi. The morphological results showed that ERK signal transduction might be related to the differentiation of NSCs into neurons.

BACKGROUND:Bone marrow mesenchymal stem cel transplantation has not been thoroughly reported on its effects on apoptosis in hepatoma carcinoma cel s and inflammatory factor level.
OBJECTIVE:To investigate the effect of rat bone marrow mesenchymal stem cel s on dynamic change of inflammatory factors and cel apoptosis during hepatocarcinogenesis.
METHODS:Sixty healthy Sprague-Dawley rats were divided randomly into healthy group (n=30), control group (n=30) and transplantation group (n=30). Healthy group was given ordinary feed and normal water, while other groups were given diethylnitrosamine solution in drinking water to induce liver cancer models. Then, rats in the transplantation group were subjected to bone marrow mesenchymal stem cel transplantation via the tail vein. Two weeks after cel transplantation, CXCL5, interleukin-8 and interleukin-6 levels were tested by ELISA, mRNA level of hepatocyte nuclear factor 1αdetected by RT-PCR, expression of Bcl-2 and Bax in liver tissue measured by immunohistochemical method, and liver cancer cel apoptosis index detected by TUNEL technique.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:After modeling, the expressions of CXCL5, interleukin-8 and interleukin-6 in the control group were significantly higher than those in the healthy group (P<0.05), while these indexes were reduced significantly after bone marrow mesenchymal stem cel transplantation (P<0.05) and close to the normal levels (P>0.05). Bone marrow mesenchymal stem cel transplantation significantly up-regulated the mRNA level of hepatocyte nuclear factor 1αin the liver tissue that was decreased obviously after modeling (P<0.05). In addition, the expression of Bcl-2 was reduced, while the expression of Bax and the apoptosis index increased significantly in the transplantation group compared with the control group (P<0.05). These findings indicate that bone marrow mesenchymal stem cel transplantation contributes to hepatocyte differentiation and regeneration in liver cancer rats by reducing serum inflammatory factor levels and promoting apoptosis in hepatoma carcinoma cel s.
