Objective To investigate the effects of acidosis on the current change of transient receptor potential channel M7 (TRPM7) and collagen production in mouse cardiac fibroblast (MCFs), and to explore the pathophysiological function of TRPM7 on the cardiac fibrosis. Methods (1) The model of MCFs was established and isolated. (2) MCFs was subcuhured. (3) Patch clamp technique was used to observe the current characteristics of TRPM7 in low PH solutions. (4) The influence of acidic condition on Ca2+ influx in MCFs was recorded by calcium fluorescent indicators. Results (1) There was a high level expression of TRPM7 in MCFs and the electrophysiological characteristics of TRPM7-like (TRPM7L) was similar to that of TRPM7. (2) Ca2+ influx was increased in acidic condition, and the F340/F380 ratio was increased from 1.0 to 4. 6 at pH 4.0 compared with pH 7.0 (t=2.72, P<0.01). Conclusions (1) TRPM7 is the molecular basis of the native TRPM7L in MCFs and TRPM7L plays an important role in Ca2+ influx. (2) The pathophysiological function of MCFs is influenced by regulation of Ca2+ influx mediated by TRPM7L in the condition of acidosis.

Aim To investigate the effect of bufalin on proliferation and expression of WT1 in K562 cells. Methods The colony number of K562 cell was detec-ted with semi-solid culture assay. The cell cycle was measured by flowcytometry, and the expression of WT1 was observed with immunocytochemistry. Subcutaneous tumor models established by K562 cells in BALB/C nu/nu mice were divided into three groups, including model group, bufalin group and positive control group. After 21 days, the subcutaneous tumors were removed for calculating the inhibitory rate of tumor growth. HE staining and immunohistochemistry were used to ob-serve the morphological changes and the expression of WT1 . Results ① Bufalin could significantly decrease the colony number of K562 cell, arrest it at G0/G1 phase and down-regulate its expression of WT1 in a dose-dependent manner. ② Compared with the model group, the tumor inhibitory rate was much higher, while the volume and the weight were obviously lower in the other two groups. ③Bufalin could induce apop-tosis, necrosis, hemorrhage and fibrosis with HE stai-ning, and down-regulate the expression of WT1. Con-clusion Bufalin could inhibit the proliferation, arrest the cell cycle at G0/G1 phase and down-regulate the expression of WT1 in vitro. Bufalin could inhibit the tumor inhibitory rate, the volume and the weight of the subcutaneous tumors, induce apoptosis, necrosis, hemorrhage and fibrosis with HE staining and down-regulate the expression of WT1 .

Objective To investigate the effects of up?regulated miR?206/miR?1 on the proliferation of breast cancer stem cells and the effect mech?anism. Methods Breast cancer stem cells(BCSCs)were isolated from breast cancer cell line MCF?7 by fluorescence?activated cell sorting. Cells in the experiment were divided into the blank control group,the negative control group,the miR?206 group and the miR?1 group. The BCSCs were transfected by negative control mimic,hsa?miR?206mimic and hsa?miR?1mimic in all groups except the blank control group. MiR?206and miR?1 expression levels as well as the transcription factor EVI?1 gene were detected by real time PCR. The expression levels of the transcription factor EVI?1 protein were detected by Western blot. MTT method was used to detect the effects of miR?206 and miR?1 on the proliferation of BCSCs. Results The BCSCs(CD44+/CD24-/low cells)isolated from MCF?7 cell lines were successfully cultured in serum?free medium for subsequent studies. After transfection of hsa?miR?206mimic and hsa?miR?1mimic for 48 hours,miR?206and miR?1relative expression levels increased. EVI?1mRNA ex?pression levels significantly decreased. The results of Western blot and MTT showed that up?regulated expression levels of miR?206 and miR?1 could significantly reduce the expression of EVI?1 protein and inhibited the proliferation of BCSCs. The differences in levels of miR?206,miR?1 and EVI?1 protein were statistically significant(P<0.05). Conclusion Up?regulated miR?206 and miR?1 expression can inhibit the proliferation ability of BCSCs,which may be related to the down?regulation of EVI?1.

Objective To prepare the chitosan-Mg membranes and to explore the biocompatibility of membranes with PC12 cells and its usage as biomaterials in tissue engineering.Methods The appearance of the chitosan-Mg membranes (CM) was observed under scanning electromicroscope (SEM) and the element of the membranes was analyzed by x-ray energy spectromete. PC12 cells were co-cultured with CM in vitro,the morphological changes of PC12 cells on membranes were observed under scanning electron microscope (SEM) and light microscope (LM),the cell vitality was detected by MTT assay. Results The surface of chitosan membranes (CS) was smoother than that of CM;but the CM groups were full of pore observed under SEM;The content of Mg element was related with the dosage of MgSO4 added into chitosan solution. Morphology observation showed that PC12 cells grew well on CM as compared with CS group. The cells were rich of microvilli and long processes on 7th day,and synapses-like structure was formed in many PC12 cells.
