BACKGROUND:Bone marrow mesenchymal stem cel s have been shown to be differentiated into periodontal ligament fibroblasts when co-cultured with periodontal ligament cel s. Existing studies have shown that estrogen has the ability to influence bone marrow regeneration. OBJECTIVE:To investigate the effects of estrogen on osteogenesis and fibroblast-related factors alkaline phosphatase, type I and III col agen in bone marrow mesenchymal stem cel s. METHODS:Bone marrow mesenchymal stem cel s isolated from Beagle dogs were treated with estrogen. Osteogenesis and fibroblast-related mRNA and protein expression of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cel s was determined by RT-PCR and western blot assay, respectively. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:mRNA and protein expression of type I and III col agen in bone marrow mesenchymal stem cel s was upregulated fol owing estrogen treatment;especial y, in contrast with type III col agen, the changes of type I col agen were more obvious. Estrogen did not influence mRNA and protein expression of alkaline phosphatase. These findings suggest that estrogen promotes the differentiation of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cel s into fibroblasts, whereas does not impact the genes involved in parodontium mineralization.

To investigate the invasive ability of the residual tumor cells after immunotherapy and explore the feasible approach suppressing the invasion, mice were inoculated with B16 cells, and then treated by gene therapy with p4-1BBL/psPD-1 or IFN-gamma. The production and activities of MMP-9 and MMP-2 in residual tumor tissues were analyzed with gelatin zymography 1 day and 7 days after the termination of the immunotherapy. The production of MMP-9 and MMP-2 by B16 cells treated with IFN-gamma was also analyzed. IFN-gamma-treated B16 cells were inoculated to mice via subcutaneous injection. The invasion of tumor to muscular tissue was analyzed. Gene therapy with CH50 was used to suppress the invasive growth of tumor. The results showed that the expression and the activities of MMP-9 and MMP-2 were significantly increased 7 days after the end of immunotherapy. The response of tumor cells to ECM molecules was intensified after the removal of IFN-gamma, resulting in significant increase of both the production and activities of MMP-9 and MMP-2, and the increased invasion of tumor. Gene therapy with CH50 effectively suppressed the invasive growth of tumor. It is concluded that the termination of immunotherapy may result in a higher metastatic potential of residual tumor cells. Suppressing tumor invasion by suitable treatment will improve the efficacy of immunotherapy.

To study the influence of the compatibility of ophiopogonis tuber and Chinese magnoliavine fruit with gastrodia rhizome on the pharmacokinetics of gastrodin in rat, three dosages of compound Tianma granule extract (equivalent to gastrodin 50, 100, 200 mg x kg(-1)) and one dosage of Tianma extract (equivalent to gastrodin 100 mg x kg(-1) were administered to rats by intragastric administration separately. Plasma samples were collected at different times and treated with methanol and acetonitrile to precipitate protein. The contents of gastrodin in plasma were determined by HPLC method. The mean plasma concentration-time curves of different medication administration teams were processed with WinNonlin 5.2.1 pharmacokinetic software. The pharmacokinetic parameters of different medication administration teams were analyzed with SPSS statistics 17.0 software. The results indicated that the in vivo kinetic process of gastrodin was fitted to first-order absorption un-compartment model at low, middle dosages and zero-order absorption un-compartment model at high dosage of compound Tianma granule extract. By comparison with the pharmacokinetic parameters of gastrodin (100 mg x kg(-1)) in Tianma extract, the significant decrease for Cmax and significant increase for MRT0-infinity in compound Tianma granule extract indicated that the compatibility of ophiopogonis tuber and Chinese magnoliavine fruit with Gastrodia rhizome can delay the absorption, reduce the elimination rate and prolong the action time of gastrodin in vivo.
