Aim To study the effect of tubeimosides on human rectal cancer cell line SW480 in vitro and the mechanisms of its antitumor effect.Method The morphological changes were determined by means of light microscopy and electron microscopy respectively.Cell apoptosis was detected by flow cytometry through Annexin V assay and PI fluorescent staining methods.The protein levels of Bc1-2,p53 and Fas were determined using immunohistochemical technique.Results Apparent morphological characteristic of apoptosis was detected under the optical and electric microscope.The percentage of apoptotic cell increased when comparing the drug groups with control after treatment with tubeimoside Ⅰand Ⅲ.Immunohistochemical analysis revealed apoptosis was and induced by tubeimosides through inhibiting Bcl-2 and p53,and upregulating Fas.Conclusion Tubeimosides can induce apoptosis of SW480 cells,which may be one reasons of its antitumor effects.

T cell immunoglobulin and mucin domain 3 (Tim-3) is well known to negatively regulate T cells responses, but its role in burn-induced T cells immune suppression remains unclear. In the present study, in order to identify the relationship between Tim-3 expression and post-burn T cells immune suppression, C57BL/6 mice were subjected to burn injury or sham injury, and the liver and spleen were harvested at the day 1 after operation. The expression level of Tim-3 on hepatic or splenic T cells and the functional properties of Tim-3(+) T cells were evaluated. It was found burn injury induced dramatically elevated Tim-3 expression on both hepatic and splenic CD4(+) and CD8(+) T cells in contrast with the post-burn depletion of T cells. Furthermore, Tim-3 expression was correlated with the suppressive phenotype of T cells following burn injury, including increased expression of anti-inflammatory cytokine IL-10, decreased expression of pro-inflammatory cytokines IFN-γ and TNF-α, reduced T cell proliferation and elevated co-expression of Tim-3 and PD-1. Moreover, Tim-3(+) T cells subsets were more prone to spontaneous apoptosis than Tim-3(-) T cells subsets. Our findings reinforce the idea that the up-regulated expression of Tim-3 on T cells after burn injury plays an important role in the development and maintenance of burn-induced T cell immune suppression.

Objective To observe the change of mitochondrion membrane potential(??m) in apoptosis induced by an iron chelator(deferoxamine,DFO),and to explore the mechanism of this apoptosis in human leukemia-60(HL-60) cells.Methods HL-60 cells were co-cultivated with various concentration of DFO and FeCl_3 for certain time,resultingin status of intracellular iron deprivation and rich iron.Cell vital force was determinded by the MTT method.The cells were examined by phase contrast microscopy,flow cytometry(FCM) for evidence of apoptosis,and also by FCM for ??m.The transcription of the apoptogene of bax was detected by hybridization in situ.Results The cell growth rate assumed descent tendency.DFO could induce the apoptosis and descent ??m of HL-60 cells(P

BACKGROUND:Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is classified into four types, and the major treatment is to tonify kidney and nourishyin, clear blood stasis and toxin by the traditional Chinese medicine (TCM). Even though, there are stil many patients with poor efficacy. Mesenchymal stem cels have the capacity of multiple differentiation, hematopoietic support and immune regulation, thus having been used for the treatment of refractory, recurrent SLE and achieving good effects. OBJECTIVE:To investigate the therapeutic effect of umbilical cord-derived mesenchymal stem cel transplantation on SLE patients with different patterns of syndromes. METHODS: Twenty-one SLE patients were clustered to four syndrome types of TCM, including heat-toxin,yin deficiency of liver and kidney,yang deficiency of spleen and kidney, andqi stagnation and blood stasis. The changes in clinical and laboratory indicators were analyzed statisticaly before and after cel transplantation. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:The level of 24-hour proteinuria and SLE disease activity index scores in SLE patients were significantly decreased at 1, 3, 6 months after cel transplantation (P < 0.01). Umbilical cord-derived mesenchymal stem cel transplantation could significantly reduce the 24-hour proteinuria in SLE patients withyin deficiency of liver and kidney at 1, 3 and 6 months (P < 0.01), while slightly reduce the 24-hour proteinuria in SLE patients with heat-toxin andqi stagnation and blood stasis at 1, 3 months (P < 0.05) as wel as in SLE patients withyang deficiency of spleen and kidney at 1 month (P < 0.05). Additionaly, umbilical cord-derived mesenchymal stem cel transplantation could increase the serum albumin levels in al the SLE patients (P < 0.01), although the changes in patients with heat-toxin were moderate (P < 0.05). Al the SLE patients of four types had an increasing trend of their platelet counting after cel transplantation, but there was no statistical difference before and after cel transplantation. Taken together, umbilical cord-derived mesenchymal stem cel transplantation is effective for treatment of SLE, but has different therapeutic efficacy on SLE patients with different syndrome types of TCM.

Objective To evaluate the impact of autoantibodies to angiotensin Ⅱ type 1 receptor AT1-AA on clinic outcomes of delayed graft function (DGF) grafts.Method We reviewed the records of all 139 consecutive adult recipients who received single kidney transplantation and clinical management between Jan.2010 and Dec.2012 in our centre.The serum levels of AT1-AA were measured by a streptavidin-enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay.All patients with DGF were enrolled in this study and divided into two groups:(1) AT+ DGF group (serum AT1-AA positive,11 cases) ;(2) AT-DGF group (serum AT1-AA negative,23 cases).All clinical and laboratory data were recorded in our transplant database system at each visit.Result 139 recipients were enrolled.The overall presence of DGF was 24.5％ (34/139).The incidence of DGF in patients with high binding AT1-AA was significantly higher than that in those with low binding of AT1-AA (11/24 vs.23/115,45.8％ vs.20.0％,P＜0.05).In addition,longer duration of renal replacement therapy (59 ± 32 vs.47 ± 26 months,P＜0.05),higher resistance index (0.80 ± 0.10 vs.0.72 ± 0.10,P＜0.05) of allografts and more severe acute tubular injury (2.7 ± 0.5 vs.1.8 ± 1.1,P＜0.05)/acute tubular necrosis (0.9 ± 0.5 vs.0.5 ± 0.3,P＜0.05) were observed in AT + DGF group than in AT-DGF group.One-year graft survival and death censored graft survival were similar between two groups (90.9％ vs.95.7％,P＞0.05).Conclusion Presence of high binding anti-AT1 receptor had detrimental impacts on initiation and development of DGF.

The study was aimed to research the influence of glucose consumption of HepG2 cell and insulin-resistance of HepG2 cell administrated with protein -free polysaccharide from A nnonae Squamosae Semen ( ASS ) . Crude polysaccharide from ASS was prepared by water extraction and alcohol precipitation method . Its protein was removed by sevag method . The content of its total sugar was measured by phenol-sulfuric acid method . Besides , the influences of glucose consumption of HepG2 cell and insulin-resistance of HepG2 cell administrated with different concentrations of protein-free polysaccharide were determined . The result showed that protein-free polysaccharide from ASS can slightly improve the glucose consumption of HepG2 cell , which was related to its concentration . The protein-free polysaccharide from ASS can obviously promote insulin-resis-tance of HepG2 cell . When the drug concentration was 0 . 08 mg?mL-1 , the effect is the best ( P < 0 . 01 ) . Be-sides , the protein-free polysaccharide from ASS had certain synergistic effect as physiological insulin . It was concluded that the protein-free polysaccharide from ASS had good in v itro hypoglycemic effect .
