Objective To explore the changes of alveolar morphology and alveolar epithelial cells in rats with hyperoxia-induced chronic lung diseases (CLD). Methods CLD model in neonatal rats was established by inhalation of high concentration oxygen(85%~90% ). Eighty neonatal rats were randomly exposed to hyperoxia (model group) and to room air (control group) (n =40 each). Radical alveolar counts and the alveolar septum thickness were used to evaluate alveolar development. The site and intensity of expression of SPC,AQP5 protein were detected by immunohistochemical staining,the dynamic expression of SPC mRNA,AQP5mRNA was detected by RT-PCR on day 1,3,7,14 and 21 after exposure. Results There were no significant differences about alveolar wall thickness and RAC between experimental groups and control group on day 1~3 ( P > 0. 05 ). But there was significant difference between the model group and the control groups on day 7 and 14 (P <0. 01 ). For model group,alveolar septum thickness peaked on day 21, the difference was significant compared with control group ( 10. 62±5.01 vs 3.62±0. 88, P < 0. 001 ), but RAC decreased to the lowest level, the difference was significant compared with control group ( 3.57±1.24 vs 10. 47±0. 88,P <0. 001 ). The expression of SPC decreased on day 3 manifestedly but increased on day 7 and the levels of SPC were higher than that in the control group. Experimental group showed gradual decrease in AQP5 expression as the lung impairment devastated. Conclusion Alveolar development was delayed and alveolar epithelial cell (AEC) was damaged in the neonatal CLD rats. The changes of SPC,AQP5 expression suggested AECI was severely damaged and failed in full recovery, meanwhile the quantity of AEC Ⅱ was increased but the ability of its differentiation and transformation was decreased.

Objective The protective effect of hydrogen sulfide (H2 S) against myocardial ischemia/reperfusion ( IR) injury via anti-apoptotic signaling is well established , but the underlying mechanism remains unclear .This study was to investigate whether H 2 S could protect cardiomyocytes from endoplasmic reticulum stress ( ERS)-mediated apoptosis in hypoxia/reoxygenation ( HR) injury by regulating the expression of microRNA-455 ( miR-455 ) . Methods Cardiomyocytes from neonatal SD rats were primarily cultured and the model of HR injury was established .The cardiomyocytes were divided into a control group (normally cultured for 27 hours), an HR group (subjected to HR injury), and an H2S protection group (pretreated with the precursor of H2S NaHS at 40 μmol/L at 30 min before HR treatment followed by the same procedure as in the HR group ) .The cell viability was monitored by MTT , the release of lactate de-hydrogenase ( LDH) in the culture supernatant measured by full-automatic chemical analysis , and the apoptosis rate of the cardiomyo-cytes detected by flow cytometry .The mRNA and protein expressions of Grp 78 and caspase-12 were determined by real-time RT-PCR and Western bot .To verify whether miR-455 was involved in the ERS-mediated apoptosis of the cardiomyocytes , the cells were subjec-ted to HR after transfected with miR-455 mimic or anti-miR-455 oligonucleotide (AMO) for 24 hours, followed by detection of the ex-pressions of Grp78 and caspase-12. Results After HR injury, the H2 S protection group showed an enhanced viability of the cardio-myocytes in comparison with the control group ([67.02 ±6.90] vs [29.27 ±5.66] %), an decreased LDH release ([91.33 ± 10.63] vs [168.17 ±15.38] U/L), and a reduced rate of cell apoptosis ([13.98 ±1.90] vs [24.31 ±2.79] %).H2 S pretreat-ment significantly downregulated the mRNA and protein expressions of Grp 78 and caspase-12 (1.66 ±0.39 vs 2.56 ±0.34;1.75 ± 0.32 vs 2.54 ±0.48;2.01 ±0.45 vs 3.26 ±0.34;1.85 ±0.52 vs 3.21 ±0.84, P<0.05).The mRNA and protein expressions of Grp78 and caspase-12 were evidently increased after transfection with miR-455 mimic (3.56 ±0.37 vs 1.00 ±0.00;3.61 ±0.41 vs 1.00 ±0.00;2.87 ±0.38 vs 1.00 ±0.00;2.98 ±0.49 vs 1.00 ±0.00), but remarkably decreased after transfection with miR-455 AMO (0.62 ±0.16 vs 1.00 ±0.00;0.65 ±0.13 vs 1.00 ±0.00;0.54 ±0.13 vs 1.00 ±0.00;0.62 ±0.16 vs 1.00 ±0.00, P<0.05). Conclusion H2S could protect cardiomyocytes from HR injury by regulating the expression of miR-455 and reducing ERS-mediated cell apoptosis .
