Journal of Southern Medical University 2010;30(9):2067-2069
OBJECTIVETo detect the expressions of CCR5 and CCR7 on dendritic cells (DCs) in patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) in different phases of disease activity, and explore the relationship between the disease activity and the expression of chemokine receptors.
METHODSTwenty-eight patients with low, moderate and high disease activity and 10 normal control subjects were enrolled in this study. Peripheral blood was obtained from the subjects and the DCs were isolated. The expression of CCR5 and CCR7 on DCs were detected by flow cytometry, and the serum levels of rheumatoid factor (RF), C-reactive protein (CRP) and anti-CCP antibody (ACPA) were assessed. The correlation of the expressions of CCR5 and CCR7 to serum RF, CRP, and ACPA levels of the RA patients were analyzed.
RESULTSCompared to the normal control group, RA patients showed enhanced expressions of CCR5 and CCR7 on the DCs. A linear correlation was noted between CCR5 and CCR7 expressions on the DCs and the serum levels of RF and CRP, but not ACPA, in the RA patients.
CONCLUSIONThe expressions of CCR5 and CCR7 on the DCs may correlate to the disease activity of RA, and may serve as valuable indices in monitoring the disease activity and the efficacy of the treatment.

Objective To study the expression of kallikrein 7 (KLK7) in different prostate tissues and its clinical significance. Methods KLK7 mRNA levels in normal prostate epithelia (5 cases), benign prostat(ic) hyperplasia (BPH) epithelia (13 cases), prostate cancer and prostate cancer cell lines (8 cases) were analyzed by using semi-quantitative reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR). Western blot was used to analyze the protein levels of human kallikrein 7 (hK7) in benign prostate epithelia and prostate cancer cell lines, hK7 expressions were examined in 20 normal prostate tissue specimens, 50 BPH specimens and 103 prostate cancer specimens by immunohistochemical staining.Results The mRNA levels of KLK7 in normal prostate, BPH and prostate cancer were 0.59, 0.52 and 0.02 respectively, mRNA levels of KLK7 were significantly different among the three groups (F=13.03, P<0.01). mRNA levels of KLK7 were decreased in prostate cancers compared with that in benign hyperplastic prostate epithelial cells (P<0.01) and in normal prostate epithelial cells (P<0.01). No significant difference of KLK7 mRNA levels was found between normal prostate and BPH. The protein levels of KLK7 in normal prostate, BPH, DU145, LNCaP, PC3,22RV1 and BPH1 was 0.22, O. 40, 0.01, 0.05, 0, 0.03 and 0.14 respectively, hK7 protein level was down-regulated in prostate cancer cell lines compared to benign prostate epithelial cells. The expression of bK7 was observed in benign prostate epithelial cells, whereas little or no staining was observed in prostate cancer cells in immunohistochemical study, hK7 protein was detected in 13 of 20 (65%)normal prostate specimens, 38 of 50 (76%) BPH specimens and 18 of 103 (17.5%) prostate cancer specimens. The difference between the normal prostate and prostate cancer was significant (Z=-4.43, P<0.01). The difference between BPH and prostate cancer was significant (Z=-7.77,P<0.01) as well. However, no significant difference of hK7 protein level was found between normal prostate and BPH (Z=-1. 52, P>0.05). Conclusions KLK7 expression level is down regulated in prostate cancer. KLK7 may play an important role in prostate cancer progression.

Objective To explore the neural mechanism underlying the craving of heroin addicts induced by picture-cue and the correlation between the brain activation degree in nucleus accumbens (NAc)/the ventral striatum and the scores of patients' self-report craving. Methods Twelve active heroin addicts and 12 matched healthy controls underwent fMRI scan while viewing drug-related pictures and neutral pictures presented in a block design paradigm after anatomical scanning in GE 3.0 T scanner. The fMRI data were analyzed with SPM 5. The change of craving scores was tested by Wilcoxon signed rank test. The Pearson correlation between the activation of NAc/the ventral striatum and the heroin craving score was tested by SPSS 13.0. Results The craving scores of heroin addicts ranged from 0 to 3.70(median 0.15) before exposed to drug cue and 0 to 5.10(median 3.25) after viewing drug-related pictures and showed statistical significance(Z = -2.666, P < 0.05). There were 16 activated brain areas when heroin dependent patients exposed to visual drug-related cue vs. neutral visual stimuli. The activation brain regions belonged to two parts, one was limbic system (amygdale, hippocampus, putamen, anterior cingulate cortex and caudate), another was brain cortex (middle frontal cortex, inferior frontal cortex, precentral gyrus, middle temporal cortex, inferior temporal cortex, fusiform gyrus, precuneus and middle occipital gyrus). The MR signal activation magnitude of heroin addicts ranged from 0.19 to 3.50. The result displayed a significant positive correlation between the cue-induced fMRI activation in NAc/the ventral striatum and heroin craving severity (r=0.829, P < 0.05). Conclusion Heroin shared the same neural circuitry in part with other drugs of abuse for cue-induced craving, including brain reward circuitry, visualspatial attention circuit and working memory region. In addition, the dysfunction of NAc/the ventral striatum may attribute to heroin-related cue induced craving.
