Objective To explore the differentiation of human bone marrow measenchymal stem cells (hMSCs) into neuron-like and dopaminergic neuron-like cells in vitro.Methods The hMSCs were isolated from adult human bone marrow and expanded on the flask undifferentiated state for 2 passages. After pretreatment with WHI-P131 for 48 h, the hMSCs were cultured at the medium containing 10 ng/ml basic fibroblast growth factor for 24 h, then incubated with all-trans-retinoic acid and glial-derived neurotrophic factor in serum-free media for 5 h. The surface markers of differentiated neuron were detected by immunocytochemical method and the transdifferentiation process was observed under light microscope.Results Under induction conditions, hMSCs progressively resumed typical neuronal morphological characteristics. After hMSCs were incubated in induction medium for 5 h, the percentage of NSE, nestin, GFAP, TH and DAT positive cells were (77.0?5.7)%, (54.2?3.7)%,(8.8?2.4)%, (36.5?15.8)% and (26.0?14.2)%, respectively. There were no positive expressions in the control group.Conclusion The hMSCs are able to differentiate into neuron-like and dopaminergic neuron-like cells in vitro.

Objective: To investigate the correlation between stress reaction and other related psychological stress factors such as life events, social support, and coping style in neurosis patients comparing with the group of healthy persons. Methods: 88 neurosis and 100 healthy persons were examined with LES (Life Event Scale), PSSS (Perceived Social Support Scale), TCSQ (Trait Coping Style Questionnaire), SRQ(Stress Reaction Questionnaire). Results: The scores of stress reaction, family events and negative coping style of neurosis group were significantly higher than those of healthy group, and the scores of social support out of family and positive coping style were significantly lower than those of healthy group. The regression analysis and path analysis revealed that in neurosis group stress reaction was directly correlated with negative coping style and social events, but in healthy group it was correlated with negative coping style and family events. Conclusion: Stress reaction may be directly affected with negative coping style and social events in neurosis patients, whereas it may be done with negative coping style and family events in healthy persons.

Objective In the present study, we investigated the effects of advanced oxidation protein products(AOPP) on reactive oxygen species(ROS) production in murine osteoblastic MC3T3-E1 cells by NADPH oxidase enzymes pathway. Methods Experiments were divided into three groups, including control group, rats albumin(RSA) group, and AOPP group. Different concentrations of AOPP were added to the osteoblastic MC3T3-E1 cells culture medium. The production of ROS in MC3T3-E1 cells was measured by the fluorescence intensity of intracellular fluoroprobe ( DCFD ) . In order to verify the effect of enzyme of the production of ROS, the specific inhibitors of corresponding enzymes were added in the MC3T3-E1 cells which were cultured in the medium with AOPP. Finally, western blot and immunofluorescence were used to observe the changes of NADPH oxidase enzymes subunits. Results Different concentrations of AOPP (50,100,200μg/ml) induced MC3T3-E1 cells to produce different amount of ROS. The higher concentrations of AOPP were added, the more ROS were produced. Furthermore,200μg/ml AOPP induced the maximum amount of ROS production(P<0. 05). Meanwhile, AOPP induced MC3T3-E1 cells to produce different amount of ROS with a time-dependent manner. The peak amount of ROS production in MC3T3-E1 cells was observed in 3h when AOPP were added (P<0. 05). In addition, when specific inhibitors of corresponding enzymes were added in the MC3T3-E1 cells, the production of ROS were significantly suppressed by C-SOD, DPI, and apocynin(P<0. 05). On the other hand, AOPP can up-regulate the expression of Nox4 protein of the MC3T3-E1 cells, which is one of the subunits of NADPH oxidase enzymes. Meanwhile, AOPP can also induce the membrane migration of p47phox subunit. Conclusion AOPP induces osteoblastic MC3T3-E1 cells to produce ROS by NADPH oxidase enzymes pathway, and which may be one of the pathogenesis of AOPP involved in osteoporosis.
