TLR4-MD-2 complex plays a key role in LPS recognition and its signal transduction. These steps are the vital elements of the host's defensive reaction. Studying the functional domain of TLR4 and MD-2 is very important to further understand the mechanism of LPS signal transduction. It was studied the interaction domain of TLR4 and MD-2 in living cells based on gene mutation, gene transfection and fluorescence resonance energy tramsfer(FRET) which is considered as one of the best methods used for intracellular protein-protein interaction study. CY-15P which was fused by CFP and YFP through 15 neutral amino acids was used as positive control, while co-expressed CFP and YFP proteins were used as negative control. The results showed that the ability of TLR4 binding to MD-2 decreased dramatically after the deletion of Glu~(24) ~ Met~(41) in N terminal of TLR4. Aggregation of TLR4 to LPS stimulation was observed, however, TLR4 without the Glu~(24)~ Met~(41) mutation did not aggregate. All these results indicated that TLR4 Glu~(24)~ Met~(41) might be the interaction domain of TLR4 binding to MD-2 and participate in the aggregation effect of TLR4 upon LPS stimulation.

BACKGROUND:
Tissue engineering is increasingly viewed as a promising avenue for functional cartilage reconstruction.However, chondrocyte dedifferentiation during in vitro culture remains an obstacle for clinical translation of tissue engineered cartilage. Re-differentiated induction have been employed to induce dedifferentiated chondrocytes back to their original phenotype. Regrettably, these strategies have been proven to be only moderately effective.
METHODS:
To explore underlying mechanism, RNA transcriptome sequencing was conducted on primary chondrocytes (P0), dedifferentiated chondrocytes (P5), and redifferentiated chondrocytes (redifferentiation-induction of P5, P5.R). Based on multiple bioinformatics analysis, LGR5 was identified as a target gene. Subsequently, stable cell lines with LGR5 knocking-down and overexpression were established using P0 chondrocytes. The phenotypic changes in P1 and P5 chondrocytes with either LGR5 knockdown or overexpression were assessed to ascertain the potential influence of LGR5 dysregulation on chondrocyte phenotypes. Regulatory mechanism was then investigated using bioinformatic analysis, protein–protein docking, immunofluorescence co-localization and immunoprecipitation.
RESULTS:
The current study found that dysregulation of LGR5 can significantly impact the dedifferentiated phenotypes of chondrocytes (P5). Upregulation of LGR5 appears to activate the PI3K/AKT signal via increasing the phosphorylation levels of AKT (p-AKT1). Moreover, the increase of p-AKT1 may stabilize b-catenin and enhance the intensity of Wnt/b-catenin signal, and help to restore the dedifferentated phenotype of chondrocytes.
CONCLUSION
LGR5 can modulate the phenotypes of chondrocytes in P5 passage through PI3K/AKT signaling pathway.

Objective:To explore the curative effect of surgical treatment for Crohn′s disease (CD), to investigate the timing of surgical intervention and the choice of surgical methods.Methods:From January 1, 2016 to August 31, 2020, at Ruijin Hospital, Shanghai Jiao Tong University School of Medicine, the clinical data of 123 patients with CD and receiving surgical treatment were retrospectively analyzed, which included the type of lesion, the location of lesion, clinical manifestation, surgical method, preoperative inflammatory and nutritional indicators, postoperative recovery of digestive tract function, and the development and treatment of postoperative complications. CD was diagnosed according to Consensus opinion on diagnosis and treatment of inflammatory bowel disease ( Beijing 2018). Patient was classitied according to the Montreal Classification. Postoperative complications were graded according to the Clavien-Dindo Criteria. Mann-Whitney U test was used for statistical analysis. Results:Among 123 patients, according to the Montreal classification, two cases (1.6%) were diagnosed at ≤16 years old (type A1), 66 cases (53.7%) were diagnosed at 17 to 40 years old (type A2), and 55 cases (44.7%) were diagnosed at >40 years old (type A3). The lesions were 52 cases (42.3%) of terminal ileum (L1) type, 20 cases (16.3%) of colon (L2) type, and 51 cases (41.5%) of ileocolon (L3) type. Four cases (3.2%) were non-stenosis and non-penetrating (B1) type, 87 cases (70.7%) were stenosis (B2) type, and 32 cases (26.0%) were penetrating (B3) type. Eighteen patients (14.6%) underwent emergency surgery due to complete intestinal obstruction (10 cases), gastrointestinal perforation (five cases), gastrointestinal bleeding (two cases), and rectovesical fistula complicated with septic shock (one case). One hundred and five patients (85.4%) received selective surgery due to poor conservative treatment effects. 51 cases (41.5%) underwent traditional open surgery and 72 cases (58.5%) underwent laparoscopic surgery. Nineteen patients (15.4%) received temporary or permanent ostomy. The preoperative C reactive protein level of patients with emergency surgery was higher than that of patients undergoing selective surgery ((39.23±24.13) mg/L vs. (11.48±2.68) mg/L), while the levels of plasma albumin (ALB) and pre-ALB were lower than those of patients receiving selective surgery ((29.90±10.60) g/L vs. (38.38±8.30) g/L, (146.00±125.49) mg/L vs. (209.06±61.19) mg/L), and the differences were statistically significant ( Z=9.603, 8.754 and 7.111, all P<0.01). During the follow-up, a total of 23 cases (18.7%) developed postoperative complications, including one case of postoperative intra-abdominal hemorrhage and underwent re-operation (Clavien-Dindo grade Ⅲ complication); four cases of anastomotic leakage after operation; six cases of postoperative paralytic ileus; 11 cases of surgical site infection, all of which were Clavien-Dindo grade Ⅱ complications, and one case of deep venous thrombosis of lower extremity. No patient with severe intraoperative complication was observed, and no patients died during the operation or hospitalization. The postoperative exhaust time of patients was (3.2±1.4) d, the time of open fluid diet was (5.8±0.8) d, the length of hospital stay was (18.0±14.1) d, and the length of postoperative hospital stay was (11.2±8.8) d. Conclusions:The concept of multidisciplinary collaboration should be emphasized in the treatment of CD. Surgical treatment can effectively control the complications and improve the quality of life of patients, but the timing of operation and the choice of surgical methods should be decided prudently after perioperative treatment, multi-disciplinary participated and regulation of the internal environment. The standardized and targeted treatments for the surgical difficulties of inflammatory bowel disease should be conducted.

Objective:
To establish a hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) induced injury model of pulmonary artery endothelial cells (PAECs) and explore the molecular mechanisms of oxidative stress on the structure and function of PAECs in this model.
Methods:
Human PAECs were treated with H2O2 at different concentrations (25, 50, 100, 200, 400, 800, 1 600, 3 200, 6 400 μmol/L) for 4 and 24 h, respectively. The PAECs survival curve was obtained according to the cell viability measured by CCK-8 assay. The cell apoptosis of PAECs was detected by flow cytometry. The reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation and mitochondrial activity were measured using small molecule fluorescent probes. Proteins were extracted and the phosphorylation levels of signal molecules in PAECs were detected by Western blot assays.
Results:
(1) The effect of H2O2 at various concentrations on cell viability of PAECs: cell viability of PAECs decreased in proportion to increasing concentration of H2O2 after incubation for 4 h. The half maximal inhibitory concentration (IC50) of PAECs exposed to H2O2 for 4 and 24 h were 397.00 and 488.77 μmol/L, respectively. (2) The effect of H2O2 on cell apoptosis of PAECs: After H2O2 incubation for 4 h, proportions of PAECs at late-apoptosis ((22.58±3.69) %) and necrotic stage( (11.86±4.27)%) were significantly higher than those of control PAECs at late-apoptosis stage( (3.41±1.44)%,
