Objective: : To explore the effect of PD-1 gene knockout by CRISPR/Cas9 system on the proliferation and IFN-γ secretion in human T cells. Methods: : The sequence of sgRNA targeting PD-1 was designed. The PD-1-sgRNA and Cas9 mRNA were synthesized by T7 RNApolymerase in vitro, and then the mixture of PD-1-sgRNAand Cas9 mRNAwas delivered into activated T cells by nucleofection. The efficiency of gene knockout was confirmed by sequencing. The phenotypes of T lymphocytes and the expression of PD-1 after gene knockout were analyzed by Flow cytometry. The proliferation of T lymphocytes was calculated by trypan blue counting. The level of IFN-γ secreted by T lymphocytes was detected by ELISA. Results： ：PD-1-sgRNA and Cas9 mRNA were successfully synthesized in vitro and delivered into T cells by nucleofection. Sequencing technology confirmed that the PD-1 gene sequence was edited and the editing efficiency was 58.3%. The expression of PD-1 on T lymphocyte surface was down-regulated successfully by CRISPR/Cas9 system [(9.6±1.85)% vs (16.2±2.05)%, P<0.05]. The knockout of PD-1 gene did not affect the proliferation and phenotype of T lymphocytes(P<0.05); However, compared with the control group, the level of IFN-γ secreted by T lymphocytes in the PD-1sgRNA group was significantly increased (P<0.01). Conclusion: : CRISPR/Cas9 system can successfully ablate PD-1 gene in human T lymphocytes, which could block the negative regulation of PD-1／PD-L1 and further promote the IFN-γ secretion in T cells.

Objective To investigate the difference of apparent diffusion coefficients (ADCs) changes in three major salivary glands after gustatory stimulation using two different stimuli. Methods Thirty healthy volunteers were examined with a 1.5 T MR unit. A diffusion-weighted MR imaging (MR DWI) sequence was performed once at rest and continuously repeated 13 times after gustatory stimulation using a commercially available lemon juice and vitamin C tablets in the same volunteer by using self-controlled method. The subsequence of two stimuli was random. In addition, the salivary flow rates at rest and after stimulation were measured. Characteristics and differences in ADCs curves of three salivary glands before and after stimulation between two stimuli were analyzed. Comparison of maximum ADCs, maximum ADCs increase rates (IRs) and times to maximum ADCs(Tmax) between two stimuli was performed by using independent-samples t test. Correlation analysis between rest salivary flow rates and rest ADCs, the maximum salivary flow rates and ADCs after stimulation, the maximum salivary flow IRs and ADC IRs after stimulation were performed by using Pearson correlation test. Results In lemon juice stimulation group, the mean ADCs mostly showed a steady increase to peak values during the first DW MRI scan after stimulation in all glands, followed by a gradually decrease fluctuating slightly around the baseline values. In vitamin C stimulation group, the mean ADCs were significantly increased in all glands during the first DW MRI scan after stimulation, followed by a gradual upward trend till peak values. In lemon juice stimulation group, the mean Tmax of submandibular and sublingual glands[(184±122)s, (345±232)s, respectively] were significantly earlier than those[(454 ± 301)s, (528 ± 297)s, respectively] in vitamin C stimulation group (t=-3.517 and-2.548 respectively, P<0.01 for all). The mean maximum ADCs of three glands in lemon juice stimulation group[(1.05 ± 0.12) × 10-3 mm2/s, (1.22 ± 0.10) × 10-3 mm2/s and (1.26 ± 0.21) × 10-3 mm2/s, respectively] were all lower than those in vitamin C stimulation group[(1.13±0.13) ×10-3 mm2/s, (1.32±0.25) × 10-3 mm2/s and (1.57 ± 0.36) × 10-3 mm2/s, respectively], and the differences in parotid and sublingual glands between two groups were significant(t=-2.894 and-3.681 respectively, P<0.01 for all). The mean maximum ADC IRs of three glands in lemon juice stimulation group[(11.35±4.07)%, (8.81±5.40)%, (34.08±21.66)%, respectively] were significantly lower than those[(17.80 ± 12.72)%, (18.16 ± 18.93)%, (67.49 ± 46.04)% , respectively] in vitamin C stimulation group (t=-2.252,-2.330 and-3.432 respectively, P<0.05 for all) . In two groups, the mean maximum ADC IRs of parotid and submandibular gland were all significantly lower than sublingual gland (t=-5.994 and-6.443 respectively, P<0.01 for all). No correlation was observed between ADCs and salivary flow rates, ADC IRs and salivary flow rate IRs in two groups (P>0.05). Conclusion MR DWI with transient stimulation using lemon juice is more stable for evaluating the physiologic changes of salivary glands in vivo.

Objective:To investigate the mechanism of intense noise-induced cochlea cells death in guinea pig,and the effect of JNK signal transduction pathway in the procedure of cochlea cells apoptosis by intense noise-induced.Method:Thirty-two guinea pigs were randomly divided into 4 groups.The guinea pigs in the experiment groups were exposed to 4 kHz narrow band noise at 120 dB SPL for 4 h.After the noise expose for 1,4,14 days of the experiment guinea pigs,ABR of the guinea pigs on experiment and control groups were tested before put them to death.Four guinea pig's cochleas of every group were taken to paraffin section,and the rest was extracted the total cochlear's protein.Apoptosis was tested by terminal deoxynucleotidyl Transferase(TdT)-mediated deoxyuridine triphosphate(d-UTP)nick and labeling method(TUNEL).The phosphorylation of JNK and c-Jun were tested by immunohistochemistry and western blot methods.Result:Tunel-Positve cells in the Corti's,SGC and SV of experiment groups,and there have significant differences compared with the control group(P＜0.01)and Tunel-Positve cells are most in 1 d experiment group.The positive cells of P-JNK and p-e-Jun could be dectected in guinea pig's cochleas after noise exposed,but no positive cells were found in the control.Protein levels of p-JNK,and P-c-Jun were risen up and activated quickly after noise exposed,and achieved peak in 1 d,4 d,and then fallen-offs,but still maintained higher levels within 14 d.Conclusion:Intense noise causes cochlea cell lesion by inducing apoptosis to result in and JNK signal transduction pathway plays an important role in the procedure of apoptosis.

In order to study the effect of 5, 6-Dichloro-1-beta-D-ribofuranosyl-benzimidazole (DRB) on the biological characteristics of human laryngeal carcinoma Hep-2 cell line in vitro, Hep-2 cells cultured in vitro were treated with different concentrations of DRB. Changes in cell proliferation, apoptotic rate and invasiveness were detected by MTT assay, flow cytometry (FCM) and matrigel in vitro invasion assay, respectively. It was found that DRB inhibited the proliferation of Hep-2 cells in a dose-and time-dependent manner. After being treated with 0, 10, 20, 40, 80 microm mol/L DRB for 24 h, the apoptotic rate in Hep-2 cells was (0.68+/-0.19)%, (1.95+/-0.12)%, (8.51+/-0.26)%, (11.26+/-0.17)% and (14.99+/-0.32)%, respectively. The matrigel in vitro invasion assay revealed that DRB began to inhibit the invasion of Hep-2 cells at the concentration of 5 microm mol/L, and with the increase of DRB concentration, the inhibitory effect was enhanced. It was suggested that DRB could influence the essential biological characteristics of Hep-2 cells, inhibit Hep-2 cells proliferation, reduce invasive ability and induce apoptosis of Hep-2 cells.
