1.Description and mechanism of cognitive impairment post-HSCT
Journal of Leukemia & Lymphoma 2013;22(6):339-341
Allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT) is a highly successful treatment for hematological malignancies,severe congenital immunodeficiencies and some other diseases.Approximate 50 % of the disease-free survival patients suffered from long-lasting severe cognitive impairment after allo-HSCT.Pathological evidences showed parenchymal lymphocytic inflammation,microglia activation,and mild cerebral angiitis-like changes in allogeneic transplanted animals and patients' autopsy.Pay much importance attention to the pathological changes of central nervous system and its impact on cognitive function and take suitable measures would help the patients to achieve a state of complete physical mental and social well-being.
2.Experimental studies on hematopoiesis reconstitution by using of transplantation of gene-modified bone marrow cells
Chinese Journal of Organ Transplantation 1999;20(4):212-214
Objective To explore the biological features of hematopoiesis reconstitution by using genetic marking.Methods NeoR gene was transduced into bone marrow(BM)cells of mouse mediated by liposome.Then these cells were transplanted into lethally irradiated recipients.The hematopoiesis reconstitution was observed and the marker gene in spleen and BM cells of recipients after hematopoiesis reconstitution was examined.Results The transplanted recipients remained alive and healthy.But the irradiated mice with no transplantation died from BM aplasia soon.Meanwhile,the cells from spleen and BM of transplanted mice could be alive in G418 system,and contained the DNA fragments of NeoR gene by PCR.Conclusion Gene-modified BM cells could be used to reconstitute hematopoiesis successfully and express the foreign gene to some extent stably.
3.Functional expression of CD95/Fas antigen and Bcl-2 on cord blood hematopoietic progenitor cells.
Journal of Huazhong University of Science and Technology (Medical Sciences) 2002;22(1):24-7
The cell-surface expression and functional status of the CD95/Fas antigen on primitive hematopoietic progenitors isolated from human cord blood (CB) were studied. The CD34+ cells freshly isolated from CB displayed low CD95 expression. The combinations of cytokines such as SCF + FL could up-regulate the expression of CD95 in vitro culture and tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha) and interon-gamma (IFN-gamma) further increased the CD95 expression induced by positive cytokines. The functional status of CD95-mediated apoptosis were analyzed by incubation of CD34+ CB cells in the presence of anti-CD95 monoclonal antibodies (McAbs). The effects of anti-CD95 McAbs were measured by viable cell counting, flow cytometry, LTIC and CFU-C assays. A decrease of viable cells, CFU-C and LTIC numbers were observed in the presence of anti-CD95 McAbs and TNF-alpha or IFN-gamma. However, growth factor deprivation or the early-acting cytokine such as SCF and FL cross-linking to CD95 caused low apoptosis of CD34+ cells. The correlation of increased intracytoplasmic levels of bcl-2 and the presence of CD95 on fresh CB CD34+ cells suggested that bcl-2 might be involved in protecting against CD95-mediated apoptosis of CB CD34+ cells.

Objective To investigate the effects of ERα36 (a novel subtype of estrogen receptor alpha) on growth and proliferation in PC12 cells via examining the expression of growth-associated protein in differentiated PC12 cells after ERα36 gene silencing.Methods Transfection of ERα36-shRNA plasmid into PC12 cells was performed to establish the ERoα36 gene silencing cells model (PC12-36L1,PC12-36L2).Immunocytofluorescence was used to examine the expression of ERα36,and Western blot was used to analyze the expression of PCNA,cyclinD1 and MAPK in the PC12 cells.Results ① ERα36 was expressed in both cell types(PC12-36C1,PC12-36L1 and PC12-36L2).Compared with PC12-36C1,PC12-36L2 cells(OD value were respectively 0.95±0.05,0.78±0.10),PC12-36L1 cells significantly decreased expression of ERα36(OD value 0.47±0.12,P<0.01).② Compared with PC12 and PC12-36C1 cells,PC12-36L1 cells were significantly higher expression of PCNA,CyclinD1 and p-MAPK(P<0.01)(OD value of PCNA,CyclinD1 and p-MAPK:PC12 cells were respectively 1.00±0.05,1.00± ±0.11,1.00±0.05,PC12-36C1 cells were respectively 1.09±0.15,0.92±0.23,1.12± 0.08,PC12-36L1 cells were respectively 1.74±0.12,2.20±0.25,1.77±0.06).Conclusion ERα36 gene silencing can promote the growth and proliferation in PC12 cells.It suggests that the lower expression of ERα36 may be related to the diseases in nervous system such as brain tumor.

Objective To explore in vitro effects and the mechanism for FLAG regimen compared with IA regimen in P-glycoprotein-positive and -negative acute myeloblastic leukemia(AML) cell lines. Methods The expression of P-glycoprotein in K562 and K562/A02 cells were analyzed by flow cytometry. The effects of FLAG and IA on the proliferation of K562 and K562/A02 cells were detected by MTT assay. The Ara-CTP and Ara-C levels in those cells were measured by HPLC,the gene expression of hENT1 in K562 and K562/A02 cells was detected by real-time PCR. Results The positive rates of P- glycoprotein were (1.32±0.24)% in K562 cell and (97.66±3.77)% in K562/A02 cell, respectively. The expression of P- glycoprotein had no change after treated with FLAG or IA. The cytotoxicity to K562 of IA was better than FLAG [(84.41±9.33) % v.s (73.17±13.20)%, P<0.05], and the cytotoxicity to K562/A02 of FLAG was better than IA [(70.55±11.32)% v.s (48.46±12.81)%, P<0.01]. Ara-C and Ara-CTP accumulation and hENT1 expression in AML cells treated with FLAG were higher than that treated with IA. Conclusion P-glycoprotein-positive AML cells are more sensitive to FLAG regimen than IA regimen. The biochemical modulation of Ara-CTP and Ara-C may be the major mechanism.
