1.Relation between B7-1 and pathogenesis of proteinuria
International Journal of Pediatrics 2015;42(6):629-631
For children suffering from primary nephrotic syndrome(PNS), podocyte is a crucial part of glomerular filtration barrier, whose injury usually causes proteinuria.The structural and functional integrity of podocyte cytoskeleton is the prerequisite of its normal physiological function.Recent studies demonstrated that under a certain pathological condition, B7-1, expressed in podocyte, can inhibit the activation of β1 integrin by competitively binding to the target site on the β1 integration, which may change the morphology and function of podocyte, consequently induced proteinuria.Other studies also have showed that abatacept, which selectively inhibit the cross-talk between B7-1 and β1-integrin,can reduce proteinuria in patients with B7-1-positive glomerular disease.These studies suggested that B7-1 may be a potential diagnostic biomarker and therapeutic target in proteinuria in PNS.This review summarizes the role of B7-1 expressed in podocyte in the pathogenesis of proteinuria and the possibility of clinical application in the future.

8.Effects of Qichu Fujin Recipe on regeneration and repair of injured sciatic nerve in rats.
Journal of Integrative Medicine 2009;7(9):848-54
Objective: To explore the effects of Qichu Fujin Recipe (QCFJR), a compound traditional Chinese medicine, in repairing sciatic nerve injury in rats. Methods: A total of 60 male Sprague-Dawley (SD) rats were randomly divided into four groups: normal control group, untreated group, mecobalamin group and QCFJR group. Except the normal control group, sciatic nerve injury was induced by crushing of left sciatic nerve. Rats in the mecobalamin group were intragastrically administered with mecobalamin solutions 150 mug/(kg.d), and rats in the QCFJR group were intragastrically administered with QCFJR 35.2 g/(kg.d), while rats in the untreated group were intragastrically administered with normal saline (0.5 mL/d), once a day for 4 weeks respectively. Sciatic function index (SFI) was determined by walking tract analysis 1 week and 2 and 4 weeks after crushing. Five rats in each group were sacrificed for histological observation at the different time points. The remnant rate of gastrocnemius wet weight and the diameter of gastrocnemius cells were calculated. Expression of S-100 protein in the distal stump of injured nerve was observed by using immunohistochemical method. Distal injured sciatic nerves were determined with toluidine blue staining and observed under a light microscope 1 week and 2 and 4 weeks after operation. Diameter of axon and depth of myelin sheath were calculated by an image analysis system. Ultrastructure of nerve fibers was determined with uranyl acetate and lead citrate staining and observed under an electron microscope. Results: Compared with the normal control group, SFI, remnant rate of gastrocnemius wet weight, diameter of gastrocnemius cells, expression of S-100, diameter of axon and depth of myelin sheath in the mecobalamin group and the QCFJR group were significantly decreased at different time points (P<0.05), superior to those of the untreated group (P<0.05, P<0.01). Except the remnant rate of gastrocnemius wet weight and the diameter of gastrocnemius cells, there were no significant differences in other indexes between the mecobalamin group and the QCFJR group 1 week and 2 and 4 weeks after crushing (P>0.05). Conclusion: QCFJR can stimulate the regeneration and repair of nerve fiber and delay the skeletal muscle atrophy after sciatic nerve injury in rats.

BACKGROUND:Fetal liver stem cel s have the potential to differentiate into hepatocytes and bile duct cel s, and participate in the repair and reconstruction of the liver, which is an important source of hepatocytes. But there are a little amount of fetal liver stem cel s in human body, and how to obtain a certain number of high-purity fetal liver stem cel s is currently a hot research. OBJECTIVE:To construct a siRNA carrier that can effectively inhibit the expression of connexin 43 (Cx43) in rat fetal liver stem cel s, and to investigate the effect of Cx43 inhibition on the proliferation and cel cycle of fetal liver stem cel s cultured in vitro. METHODS:Fetal liver stem cel s were cultured by the suspension culture in vitro, siRNA sequences targeting Cx43 (Cx43-siRNA) and negative control sequence (NC-siRNA) were designed and synthesized. Then, rat fetal liver stem cel s were transferred electrophoretical y and divided into three groups:blank group, NC-siRNA group, Cx43-siRNA group. Real-time PCR and western blot were used to assess the knockdown efficiency. Cel ular proliferation was determined by cel growth curve and cel counting kit-8 assay. The cel cycle was analyzed by flow cytometry. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:After transfection, the Cx43 gene and protein expression levels were declined dramatical y in the Cx43-siRNA, NC-siRNA and blank groups, and the cel s grew faster. The number of cel s at G0/G1 phase decrease, but the number of cel s in S phase increased. There were significant differences between the groups (P<0.05). Electrophoretic transfer of Cx43-siRNA can promote the proliferation of cultured fetal liver stem cel s and optimize the cel culture.
