Objiective To observe the morphological changes of rabbits' retina at different time points at which seawater was injected into the vitreous of rabbits. Methods Twenty-five New-Zealand white rabbits were randomly assigned to five groups, as 30 minutes, 2 hours, 6 hours, 12 hours and 24 hours group following the seawater injection in the vitreous. The right eyeball served as experimental eyeball and the left one as control in each group. 0.5ml artificial seawater was injected into the intermedius of rabbits right vitreous. 0.5ml balanced salt sdution was injected into the left vitreous in teh same way. At different time points following the eyeball injury, the morphological changes of retina were observed with light microscope and transmission electron microscope. Results The retina of control eyeballs had clear layers and regular cell shape in retinal structures with conventional staining. For the experimental eyeballs, the ganglion cell layer began to swelling after 30 minutes of seawater injection. The nerve fiber swelled obviously and the mitochondria vesiculated and swelled in the inner segment at 2 hours of seawater injection. The cell population of the inner nuclear layer began to reduce in 6 hours. At 12 hours of seawater injection, the retinal damages included disorganized cell nuclei, decreased cell population in ganglion cells and inner nuclear layer. Mitochondria vesiculated in photoreceptor cells, nuclear membrane shrank and sank inward. The vesiculation on inner and outer segments increased obviously. Conclusions Seawater may cause the morphological changes of rabbits' retina at early stage, and the histological damages become aggravation following the time prolongation. The damages would be unrecoverable 6 to 12 hours after seawater injury.

Background and purpose:Breast cancer is one of the most common carcinoma among female patients with high mortalities. Drug-resistance is the major reason that leads to chemotherapy failure in clinical practice. MCF-7/ADR is a multi-drug resistant cell line that was established on the basis of breast cancer cell line MCF-7. This research aimed to investigate the anti-apoptotic effect of c-fos in resistant breast cancer cell MCF-7/ADR, and to compare with its sensitive counterpart MCF-7.Methods:Doxorubicin with various concentrations was used to treat MCF-7 as well as its MDR- counterpart MCF-7/ADR. The growth inhibitory rate of MCF-7 and MCF-7/ADR wasdetermined by MTT assay. Additionally, RT-PCR was used to test the expression of P-gp and c-fos mRNA in MCF-7 and MCF-7/ADR; The expression of c-fos mRNA was detected by RT-PCR after 3 μmol doxorubicin treatment;We further established cell lines that stably interfered with c-fos, named MCF-7/ADR/si-fos-8B, MCF-7/ADR/si-fos-3D. Flow cytometry and MTT assay were used to investigate the apoptosis rate and inhibitory rate in these above cells under the treatment of 5-FU, CDDP or γ-radiation. At last, RT-PCR and Western blot analysis were used to detect the expression of bax, bcl-2, puma, p53.Results:The expression of c-fos and P-gp (MDR-1) was up-regulated in MCF-7/ADR, compared with its sensitive counterpart MCF-7. Additionally, the resistant fold of MCF-7/ADR to doxorubicin was nearly 40; The expression of c-fos was gradually up-regulated after 3 μmol doxorubicin treatment; The sensitivity to drugs (5-FU and CDDP) was increased after c-fos interference while the apoptosis rate was also increased after 5-FU, CDDP and γ-radiation treatment. RT-PCR and Western blot analysis indicated that up-regulation ofbax,puma,p53 after c-fos interference while the expression of bcl-2 was down-regulated.Conclusion:c-fos may act as an anti-apoptotic protein in resistant breast cancer cell line MCF-7/ADR by regulating the expression of apoptosis related proteins, and may play a vital role in the formation of multi-drug resistance phenotype.
