[ ABSTRACT] AIM: To investigate the protective effect of autophagy on oxidized low density lipoprotein ( ox-LDL)-induced macrophage apoptosis and the underlying molecular mechanisms .METHODS:The RAW264.7 macropha-ges were pretreated with 3 mmol/L 3-methyladenine (3-MA), 1 μmol/L rapamycin (Rap) or 4 mmol/L 4-phenylbutyric acid ( PBA) respectively for 1 h and then treated with ox-LDL (100 mg/L) for 12 h.The cell viability and apoptosis were determined by MTT assay and flow cytometry with Annexin V-FITC/PI staining, respectively.The activities of lactate de-hydrogenase ( LDH) in the medium and caspase-3 in the cells were determined by detection kits .The protein levels of bec-lin-1 (a molecular marker of autophagy ), glucose-regulated protein 78 (GRP78, an endoplasmic reticulum stress marker) and C/EBP homologous protein ( CHOP, a key-signaling component of endoplasmic reticulum stress-induced apoptosis ) were examined by Western blot .Microtubule-associated protein 1 light chain 3 (LC3, another molecular marker of autoph-agy) was observed under laser scanning confocal microscope .RESULTS: Treatment of the RAW264.7 macrophages with ox-LDL at 100 mg/L for 12 h resulted in significant decrease in cell viability , and dramatic elevation in LDH leakage , cell apoptosis and caspase-3 activity, which were promoted by 3-MA (an autophagy inhibitor) and inhibited by Rap (an autoph-agy inducer ) .ox-LDL induced autophagy in the macrophages as assessed by beclin-1 upregulation and frequent granulation of LC3, which were inhibited by 3-MA and promoted by Rap.Interestingly, 3-MA enhanced, while Rap blocked, the CHOP upregulation induced by ox-LDL.Moreover , PBA ( endoplasmic reticulum stress inhibitor ) significantly inhibited ox-LDL-induced GRP78 upregulation and autophagy as determined by the attenuation of beclin-1 upregulation and frequent granula-tion of LC3.CONCLUSION: Endoplasmic reticulum stress mediates ox-LDL-induced autophagy in macrophages , and moderates activation of autophagy may protect macrophages from ox-LDL-induced apoptosis by inhibiting CHOP expression .

Objective To investigate the potential therapeutic effect of luteolin on sepsis-induced ALI and the underlying mechanisms.Methods Total of 50 mice were randomly(random number) divided into five groups:a sham control group,a sepsis-induced ALI group,and three sepsis groups pre-treated with 20,40,and 80 mg/kg body weight luteolin.Mice in the treatment groups were pre-treated with luteolin at the respective oral dose two days before ALI induction.The lungs were isolated for histopathological examinations,and the bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) was collected for biochemical analyses.Results Luteolin significantly attenuated sepsis-induced ALI.Additionally,luteolin treatment decreased protein and inflammatory cytokine concentration and the number of infiltrated inflammatory cells in BALF compared with that in the non-treated sepsis mice.Pulmonary myeloperoxidase (MPO) activity was lower in the luteolin-pre-treated sepsis groups than in the sepsis group.The mechanism underlying the protective effect of luteolin on sepsis is related to the up-regulation of certain antioxidation genes,including inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS),cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2),superoxide dismutases (SODs),and heme oxygenase 1 (HO-1),and the reduction of inflammatory responses through blockage of the activation of the nuclear factor (NF)-κB pathway.Conclusions Luteolin pre-treatment inhibits sepsis-induced ALI through its anti-inflammatory and antioxidative activity,suggesting that luteolin may be a potential therapeutic agent for sepsis-induced ALI.

Objective To evaluate the efficacy of acupuncture combined with tropisetron in treating nausea and vomiting induced by carboprost tromethamine in cesarean section. Methods Sixty-six patients aged 22-40 yr who received carboprost tromethamine and developed nausea and vomiting during cesarean section under lumbar anesthesia, were randomly divided into 3 groups(n=22 each): acupuncture group (group A), tropisetron group(group T)and acupuncture+ tropisetron group(group AT). In group A, 09% normal saline 2 ml was intravenously injected immediately, acupuncture was given at Renzhong, Neiguan and Hegu acupoints with lifting thrusting twirling the acupuncture needle for 10 min. In group T, tropisetron 10 mg was intravenously injected immediately, the needle was placed on Renzhong, Neiguan and Hegu skin surface. In group AT, tropisetron 10 mg was intravenously injected immediately, acupunc-ture was given at Renzhong, Neiguan and Hegu acupoints with lifting thrusting twirling the acupuncture nee-dle for 10 min. The nausea and vomiting score was assessed before anesthesia induction(T0), when nause-a or vomiting occurred(T1)and at 1, 3, 5 and 15 min after acupuncture or administration(T1-5). The degree of patient′s satisfaction with therapeutic effect was recorded. Results Compared with group A, the nausea and vomiting scores were significantly decreased at T4, and the patient's satisfaction score was in-creased in group AT(P<005). Compared with group T, the nausea and vomiting scores were significantly decreased at T2-4and the patient's satisfaction score was increased in group AT(P <005). Conclusion Acupuncture combined with ondansetron can quickly and effectively relieve the nausea and vomiting induced by carboprost tromethamine during cesarean section.

Objective:To explore the relevance of a new comprehensive respiratory mechanics parameter, elastic power, to the 28-day prognosis of ARDS patients.Methods:Patients with ARDS hospitalized for at least 48 h with invasive mechanical ventilation in five intensive care units in three local hospitals in Lianyungang City from June 2018 to June 2022 were included in the study. Their baseline data and respiratory mechanics parameters were collected. Elastic power, mechanical power, driving pressure and lung compliance are calculated according to the corresponding formulae. The prognostic risk factors of ARDS patients were analysed using COX multi-factor regression, and the predictive value of EP/Cst on the 28-day prognosis of ARDS patients was evaluated based on ROC curve analysis and Kaplan-Meier survival curve.Results:There was no significantly difference in tidal volume and PEEP settings between the patients in the ARDS survivor and death groups ( P> 0.05). However, the differences in respiratory rate, plateau pressure, driving pressure, lung compliance, mechanical work, elastic work, EP/cst and MP/cst between the two groups were significantly different (all P< 0.01). Multifactorial COX regression analysis showed that EP/cst ( HR=1.211, 95% CI:1.091-1.323) and RR ( HR=1.209, 95% CI:1.046-1.339) were strongly associated with a more severe degree of illness and a worse prognosis in ARDS. And the cumulative survival rate at 28 d was significantly lower in the high Cst-EP group than in the low Cst-EP group (50.00% vs. 82.40%, P < 0.01). Conclusions:The new respiratory mechanics parameters EP and EP/Cst can assess the severity of ARDS with a good predictive effect on patient prognosis at 28 days.

Leishmaniasis is a prevalent cause of death and animal morbidity in underdeveloped countries of endemic area. However, there is few vaccine and effective drugs. Antimicrobial peptides are involved in the innate immune response in many organisms and are being developed as novel drugs against parasitic infections. In the present study, we synthesized a 5-amino acid peptide REDLK, which mutated the C-terminus of Pseudomonas exotoxin, to identify its effect on the Leishmania tarentolae. Promastigotes were incubated with different concentration of REDLK peptide, and the viability of parasite was assessed using MTT and Trypan blue dye. Morphologic damage of Leishmania was analyzed by light and electron microscopy. Cellular apoptosis was observed using the annexin V-FITC/PI apoptosis detection kit, mitochondrial membrane potential assay kit and flow cytometry. Our results showed that Leishmania tarentolae was susceptible to REDLK in a dose-dependent manner, disrupt the surface membrane integrity and caused parasite apoptosis. In our study, we demonstrated the leishmanicidal activity of an antimicrobial peptide REDLK from Pseudomonas aeruginosa against Leishmania tarentolae in vitro and present a foundation for further research of anti-leishmanial drugs.

OBJECTIVETo construct an eukaryotic expression plasmid for AY358935 gene and explore its function.

METHODScDNA of the AY358935 gene was amplified by reverse transcription-PCR and cloned into pGEM-Teasy. The pGEM-T-AY was validated by sequencing and served as a template for the construction of eukaryotic expression plasmid. The pcDNA3.1-AY recombinant was validated by double enzyme digestion and used for transient transfection of M14 cells. Expression of the AY358935 protein and proliferation of the M14 cells were determined respectively by Western blotting and 3-(4,5)-dimethylthiahiazo(-z-y1)-3,5-di-phenytetrazoliumromide (MTT) colorimetry.

RESULTSThe amplicons of RT-PCR were confirmed to have similar size with the cDNA fragment of the AY358935 gene as well as cloned region of pcDNA3.1-AY. The cloned region of pGEM-T-AY was sequenced to be identical with cDNA sequence of the AY358935 gene. M14 cells were transfected by the AY358935 gene, pcDNA3.1 and liposomes, respectively. After 48 h, expression of the AY358935 protein in M14 cells transfected with the AY358935 gene was significantly higher than other two groups. They also had a significantly higher absorbance value (A=0.74) than other two groups (A=0.39 and 0.46, respectively; P<0.05).

CONCLUSIONAn eukaryotic expression plasmid of the AY358935 gene was successfully constructed. Product of the AY358935 gene may promote the proliferation of M14 cells.

Objective:To investigate the role and regulatory mechanism of miR-125b-1-3p in rotavirus replication.Methods:MA104 cells were infected with rotavirus after upregulation and down-regulation of miR-125b-1-3p, respectively. The expression of miR-125b-1-3p and the copy number of rotavirus were analyzed by RT-PCR. The effect of miR-125b-1-3p on the protein expression of rotavirus was analyzed by immunofluorescence. The expression of related proteins involved in the regulation of miR-125b-1-3p was analyzed by Western blot analysis.Results:After rotavirus infection, the expression level of miR-125b-1-3p was significantly up-regulated, the copy number of VP7 and NSP3 gene of rotavirus decreased after up-regulation of miR-125b-1-3p, and the copy number of VP7 and NSP3 gene of rotavirus was significantly increased after down-regulation of miR-125b-1-3p.The fluorescence number of rotavirus protein decreased after upregulation of miR-125b-1-3p expression level, and increased after down-regulation of miR-125b-1-3p expression level. The activity of PI3K/Akt pathway was inhibited 16 h after rotavirus infection, and the up-regulation of miR-125b-1-3p could inhibit the activation of PI3K/Akt pathway.Conclusions:MiR-125b-1-3p inhibits rotavirus replication by regulating the PI3K/Akt pathway. These results provide an experimental basis for exploring the specific regulatory mechanism between miR-125b-1-3p and PI3K/Akt pathway, and provide a target for anti-infection therapy of rotavirus.
