ObjectiveTo investigate the role of T helper (Th) 22 and Th17 cells in the pathogenesis of severe preeclampsia.MethodsThirty women with severe preeclampsia who delivered in the Third Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University from October 2014 to February 2016 were enrolled in the study. Thirty healthy pregnant women matched for age and gestational weeks were recruited as the control group. The frequencies of Th22 and Th17 cells in peripheral whole blood were determined by flow cytometry. The concentrations of interleukin (IL)-22 and IL-17A in plasma were detected by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. Independent two samplest-test, non-parametric test and Spearman correlation analysis were used for statistical analysis.ResultsThe percentage of Th22 and Th17 cells in the severe preeclampsia group were significantly higher than those in the control group, respectively[Th22 cells: 0.59% (0.39%-1.13%) vs 0.40%(0.23%-0.57%),Z=2.530,P=0.010; Th17 cells: 3.24% (3.02%-3.97%) vs 1.87% (1.53%-2.64%),Z=5.046, P=0.000]. So were the plasma levels of IL-22 and IL-17A[IL-22: 285.72 (247.63-306.69) vs 233.85 (184.92-258.38) pg/ml,Z=4.341,P=0.001; IL-17A: 27.53 (23.84-32.78) vs 17.36 (15.58-19.13) pg/ml,Z=4.924, P=0.000]. There was a positive correlation between circulating Th22 and Th17 cells in the severe preeclampsia group (r=0.534,P=0.015), while no correlation was found in the control group (r=0.345,P=0.136). Positive correlation was found in plasma level of IL-22 with Th22 cells (r=0.600,P=0.005), but not with Th17 cells (r=0.398,P=0.082) in the severe preeclampsia group.ConclusionsIncreased Th22 cells and high IL-22 concentrations in the peripheral blood of severe preeclampsia patients may indicate a self-defense mechanism in the maternal body. Th22 cells and Th17 cells may interact with each other.

Objective To investigate the expression of CXCR7 in gastric carcinoma tissues and the role of CXCR7 in tumor growth, adhesion and invasion of gastric cancer. Methods The expression levels of CXCR7, Survivin, CD44v6 and matrix metalloproteinase (MMP)-3 were detected by immunnohistochemistry method in gastric cancer specimens came from 160 patients (gastric cancer group) and 30 specimens of normal gastric tissues (control group). Results The expression of CXCR7 protein was significantly higher in gastric cancer group than that of control group (P<0.05). The positive CXCR7 staining was significantly different with tumor size, depth of invasion, lymph node metastasis and clinical staging ( P<0.05). CXCR7 expression was positively correlated with Survivin, CD44v6 and MMP-3. Conclusion CXCR7 might take part in progression of gastric cancer by anti-apoptosis (Survivin). CXCR7 might take part in the lymph node metastasis of gastric cancer and mediate the adhesion and invasion by CD44v6 and MMP-3.

Objective:To investigate the effect on the CXCR4/PI3K/AKT pathway after the transfection of miR-155 mimics and miR-155 inhibitor combined with the research on the ability of invasion and migration of human chorionic JEG-3 trophoblast cells. Methods:Chemically synthesized miR-155 mimics and miR-155 inhibitor were transfected into JEG-3 cells. The effect on the ability of invasion and migration were analyzed by Transwell migration assay and Wound healing assay. The expression of CXCR4 mRNA was detected by Real-time PCR. The expression of CXCR4 and p-AKT protein were detected by Western blot. Results: Transfection with miR-155 mimics significantly down-regulated the expression of CXCR4 as compared with the control group(P<0. 05);JEG-3 cells transfected miR-155 mimics had lower levels of migration and invasion capacity than cells in the control group(P<0. 05). However, transfection with miR-155 inhibitor significantly up-regulated the expression of CXCR4 as compared with the control group(P<0. 05);JEG-3 cells transfected miR-155 inhibitor had higher levels of migration and invasion capacity than cells in the control group ( P<0.05).Addition,the expression of p-AKT protein of JEG-3 cells was down-regulated after transfected miR-155 mimics,and the expression of p-AKT protein of JEG-3 cells was up-regulated after transfected miR-155 inhibitor. Conclusion:miR-155 may inhibits the invasion and migration of trophoblast cells by regulating CXCR4/PI3K/AKT pathway contributing to the development of preeclampsia.
