Aim To investigate the effects of Shaoqiduogan(SQDG)on cellular immunity in mice with delayed-type hypersensitivity(DTH). Methods DTH model induced by 2, 4-dinitrochlorobenzene(DNCB)and cyclophosphamide(Cy)suppressed and potentiated DTH model were used. SQDG(30, 60 and 120 mg ? kg-1)were given intragastrically(ig)once daily for 7 consecutive days. Concanavalin A(Con A)-induced T cells proliferation was measured by MTT assay. The activity of IL-2 in culture supernatants of Con A-induced T cells proliferation was measured by testing its ability to support the proliferation of Con A stimulated thymocytes which was detected by MTT assay. Results In mice with DTH, SQDG(120 mg?kg-1)reduced ear swelling, thymus index, Con A-induced T cells proliferation and the activity of IL-2 in culture supernatants of Con A-induced T cells proliferation. The suppression and potentiation of DTH in mice were induced by given an intraperitoneal(ip)injection of Cy at the dose of 150mg?kg-1 on primary sensitization day and 250 mg?kg-1 three days before primary sensitization. SQDG(60 and 120 mg?kg-1)upregulated ear swelling, Con A-induced T cells proliferation and the activity of IL-2 in culture supernatants of T cells from mice with Cy-suppressed DTH; and downregulated levels of the aforementioned indexes in mice with Cy-potentiated DTH. Conclusion SQDG possesses a dual modulatory effect on cellular immunity in mice.

Objective To explore the preventive and therapeutic role of silencing type Ⅰ rat platelet-binding protein motifs depolymerization protein-like metalloproteinase 2(ADAMTS2)by siRNA on experimental liver fibrosis in vitro.By studying the mechanism of siRNA silencing of ADAMTS2,we also aim to evaluate the feasibility of ADAMTS2 as a target for anti-liver fibrosis therapy.Methods Three pairs of siRNAs targeting ADAMTS2 mRNA 2237,2597 and 690 targets were designed and synthesized by utilizing RNA design software.The most effective siRNA was chosen to transfect HSC-T6 cell line to test the tendency of hepatic stellate cell(HSC)activation and ex pression of ADAMTS2,COL1α1,COL(I),α-SMA,TGF-β1,MMP-2 and TIMP-3.These were quantified using real time-PCR,Western blotting,and MTT assays.Results Of the same dosage and time of injection,siRNA 2237 inhibited ADAMTS2 gene expression significantly more than other siRNAs.siRNA-ADAMTS2 2237 markedly inhibited ADAMTS2 gene and protein expression of HSCT6 with more than 80% efficiency.Conversely,siRNA-ADAMTS2 2237 markedly reduced the gene and protein expressions of COL(I),α-SMA and TGF-β1 on HSC-T6 and inhibited the proliferation of HSC.Conclusions siRNA-ADAMTS2 2237 could effectively knockdown the gene and protein expression of ADAMTS2 in HSC-T6 cell lines.Silencing ADAMTS2 by siRNA significantly inhibited the activation,proliferation of HSC and the gene and protein expressions of COL(I),α SMA,and TGF-β1,and it may have a potential anti-fibrotic effect.ADAMTS2 might be an efficient target for anti-fibrotic therapy.

Objective To explore the effects of inhibiting DDR2 expression by siRNA on hepatic stellate cells and evaluate the role of DDR2 gene in hepatic fibrogenesis. Methods (1) Three pairs of chemically synthesized siRNAs targeting DDR2 were respectively transfected into HSC-T6 cells for evaluation of silence efficacy, and the most effective siRNA was used. (2) HSC-T6 cells were divided into three groups, group A served as normal controls, group B served as negative control and group C was RNA interference DDR2 (siRNA-DDR2) expression of HSC. The most effective RNA interference sequences targeting DDR2 gene was chosen to transfect HSC-T6 cells by plasmid transfection. The tendency of DDR2, α-smooth muscle actin(α-SMA) and collagen-Ⅰ mRNA expression were estimated using RT-PCR, and the protein expression of DDR2 was evaluated by Western blot. Meanwhile, MTT assay was employed to analyze the proliferation of HSC. Results (1) DDR2 siRNA, which began at nt 868, inhibited DDR2 gone expression stronger than the other two siRNAs. (2) After transfection of siRNA-DDR2, the mRNA expression of DDR2 (P<0.01) and α-SMA (P<0.01) significantly decreased compared with the normal group, and the protein expression of DDR2 also significantly decreased (P<0.01). In addition, the proliferation of HSC was also markedly suppressed as compared with the normal group (P<0.01). However, compared with the negative control group, none of them was markedly suppressed. Conclusion SiRNA targeting DDR2 significantly suppresses the activation, proliferation of HSC, and thus attenuates hepatic fibrogonesis in vitro.

BACKGROUND: The study of tissue-engineered cartilage with predetermined shaping and regeneration has provided novel ideas and techniques for repair of laryngeal cartilage erosion; however, due to the special natures of the morphology, location and function of laryngeal cartilage, tissue engineering research has not, to date, exhibited its ful advantages in the reconstruction of laryngeal cartilage. OBJECTIVE:To explore the feasibility of building tissue-engineered larynx-shaped cartilage using poly(3-hydroxybutyrate-co-3-hydroxyhexanoate) (PHBHH) as a scaffold filed and encapsulated with pedicled myofascial flaps. METHODS:Porous PHBHH was prepared and formed into a holow like larynx-shape, and the cel PHBHH composites were cultured for 1 weekin vitro prior to implantationin vivo. The cel-PHBHH composite was filed and encapsulated with myofascial flaps with the pedicle forin situ implantation in nine rabbits as experimental group. PHBHH scaffold with no chondrocytes was implanted alone in three rabbits as control group. Cartilage regeneration was assessed at 6, 12 and 18 weeks after surgery through morphological observation, histological and immunohistochemical detection. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: In the experimental group, the shape and porosity (> 90%) of the material were ideal, the cels exhibited good adhesion with the material and the blood supply within the myofascial flap with pedicle was rich for effective filing and encapsulation of the cel PHBHH composite. Tissue-engineered laryngeal cartilage with the holow, semi-trumpet shape was idealy formed at 6 weeks after the surgery. Further maturation of the cartilage was observed at 12 and 18 weeks after the surgery. However, there was no cartilage tissue in the control group. This study shows that PHBHH is a suitable material for the formation of a holow, semi-trumpet shape with good celular compatibility. Myofascial flap filing and encapsulating can be used to build tissue-engineered laryngeal cartilage with a holow, semi-trumpet shape.
