Objective To establish a stable cell line expressing transmembrane form of human blood group A antigen mimotope vaccine by transfecting malignant melanoma cell line B16, and to detect the cytotoxicity of the vaccine against melanoma cells. Methods Cultured B16 cells were classified into 4 groups, i.e.,P/F-M-pIRES group [transfected with the recombinant plasmid mimotope peptide/Fas-macrophage inflammatory protein (Mip)-pIRES], P/F-pIRES group (transfected with the recombinant plasmid mimotope peptide/FaspIRES), M-pIRES group (transfected with the recombinant plasmid Mip-pIRES), and pIRES group (transfected with the empty plasmid pIRES). B 16 cells were transfected through Lipofectamine 2000. Subsequently, RT-PCR and Western blotting were performed to detect the mRNA and protein expressions of the mimotope peptide/Fas fusion gene and Mip3β in transfected B16 cells. Cell counting kit-8 (CCK-8) was used to evaluate the vaccinemediated complement dependent cytotoxicity (CDC) and antibody-dependent cell-mediated cytotoxicity (ADCC)against B16 cells. Results RT-PCR yielded specific DNA fragments with expected size. Western blotting revealed the anti-A antibody-binding activity of the recombinant mimotope peptide/Fas fusion protein. Factor analysis indicated significant differences in CDC (F = 244.522, P < 0.01 ) and ADCC (F = 71.593, P < 0.01 )against B16 cells between the 4 groups. Group comparisons demonstrated more intense CDC and ADCC in P/FM-pIRES and P/F-pIRES groups compared with M-plRES and pIRES groups, stronger ADCC in P/F-M-pIRES group in comparison with P/F-pIRES group (F = 15.42, P < 0.05), but no significant difference in CDC was observed between M-pIRES and pIRES group. Conclusions The transmembrane form of human blood group A antigen mimotope vaccine could be stably expressed in B16 cells, and mediate ADCC and CDC against B16 cells in vitro.

To probe the effect of reduced form coenzyme Ⅰ(NADH) in antagonizing cardiac muscle toxicity induced by doxorubicin and its underlying mechanism. Primary culture of myocardial cells of SD rat and doxorubicin injury model were established. MTT assay, laser confocal microscopy, transmission electron microscopy and biological oxygen monitor were used to observe the morphology and function of mitochondria. The results showed that the killing rate was increased in the group of doxorubicin, and that in the group of NADH/doxorubicin was greatly decreased. Doxorubicin could induce ultrastructural damage of cardiomyocyte mitochondria, manifested as swelling, disintegration, disruption of cristae and fusion. Cardiac mitochondria were protected against injuries in the group treated with NADH/doxorubicin. There was a significant difference in the fluorescence intensity of mitochondria membrane potentional and ROS between the groups treated with doxorubicin and NADH/ doxorubicin. It is suggested that NADH can significantly antagonizing cardiac muscle toxicity induced by doxorubicin and can protect mitochondrial structure and function.

Objective To investigate the change of the mitochondrial aspartate aminotransferase (mAST), and the ratio of m-AST and aspartate aminotransferase (AST) in rat orthotopic liver transplantation.Methods We used the rat autologous orthotopic liver transplantation modelin which liver was infused by portal vein. Group A: Autologous orthotopic liver transplantation. Group B: Sham control group of normal rats. To measure the m-AST, AST and ALT in rat serum at each time, the ratio of m-AST/AST was calculated to observe the changes after surgery. Results The ALT of group A after 1 h was 1149.2 U/L, while the ALT of group B was 111.3 U/L; The AST of group A ofter 1 h was 819.5 U/L, while the AST of group B was 128.2 U/L; The m-AST of group After 1 h was 290.8 U/L, while the m-AST of group B was 40.5 U/L. The levels of m-AST, AST and ALT in group A were significantly higher than group B (P < 0. 05).Group A significantly increased the degree of liver damage compared with group B. The ratio of m-AST/AST in group A changed with time obviously. Because the haff-life of m-AST in serum was shorter than that of AST, and AST in this study returned to normal slowly, the ratio of m- AST/AST in A group decreased after 6 h and the number is 0. 12. It indicating that the damage of mitochondria in rat liver cells has been restored after 6h. Conclusions It will be better to judge the prognosis of liver transplantation from the changes of serum m-AST in rats. And it seems earlier to reflect the injury or recovery of liver cell compared with AST.It also has the guiding values to diagnose and treat the damage of liver cells and mitochondrial in the rat liver transplantation.
