Aim This study was designed to investigate the inhibition of matrine on U251 glioma cell line and its mechanism. Methods MTT was used to measure the levels of the proliferation of U251 cultured with matrine in different concentrations.The effects of matrine on cell cycle of U251 were observed by FCM. The expression of proto oncogenes c myc was measured by RT PCR. Results The proliferation of U251 was obviously inhibited by matrine in a dose dependent manner. The inhibitory rate was (53 7?6 0)%,when cultured with matrine at 0 10 g?L -1 . The outcome of FCM showed that the proportion of G 0/G 1 phase cells were decreased. The proportion of S phase cells were reduced obviously,when cultured with matrine at 0 10 g?L -1 in 3 days.The outcome of RT PCR showed that the expression of proto onco gene C myc was notably decreased, when the dose of matrine was increased. Conclusion Matrine can inhibit the proliferation of U251 and inhibit the expression of proto onco gene C myc.

Objective To explore the effect of erythropoietin(EPO) on apoptosis of human renal tubular(HK-2) cells induced by postasphyxial-serum of neonates.Methods HK-2 cells were used as target cells.The experiment was divided into 4 groups,control group(n=8):HK-2 cells were maintained in standard medium;asphyxia group(n=8):HK-2 cells were treated with serum obtained from neonates with asphyxia.Each culture medium replaced with 200 mL/L suffocation DMEM/F12 serum culture medium;EPO pretreatment group(n=8):HK-2 cells were pretreated 24 h with serum contains 5?104 IU/L EPO,and then deal as asphyxia group;EPO and 5-hydroxydecanoic acid sodium salt(5-HD) pretreatment group(n=8): HK-2 cells were pretreated 24 h with serum contains 5?104 IU/L EPO and 500 ?mol/L 5-HD,and then deal as asphyxia group.All cells were cultured at 37 ℃ in humidified atmosphere with 50 mL/L CO2 for 24 h.The apoptosis rate of HK-2 cells was detected by flow cytometer.The expressions of Caspase-3 and X-linked inlnibitor of apoptosis protein(XIAP) of HK-2 cells were detected by using immunohistochemical method.Results Compared with control group,after stimulated with postasphyxial-serum,the apoptosis rate and the expression of Caspase-3 of HK-2 cells were significantly increased(Pa

Objective To investigate the role and intracellular signal transduction mechanism in the injury of renal tubular cells induced by postasphyxial-serum in neonate.Methods Human renal proximal tubular cell(HK-2 cell) was used as target cell. The experiment was designed as:control group, asphyxia group ,and pyrrolidine dithiocarbamate (PDTC)blocking group. The attacking concentration of serum was 20%, and the apoptosis rate of HK-2 cells was detected by flow cytometer.Results Compared with controls[(13.3?1.70)%],after being stimulated with postasphyxial-serum, the apoptosis rate of HK-2 cells of asphyxia group [(46.73?3.68)%] and PDTC blocking group [(31.19?2.79)%]were significantly increased(P

Objective To investigate the levels of serum soluble CDI4(sCD14)in patients early after renal transplantation and the relationship between sCD14 and allograft rejection.Methods This se- ries included 51 consecutive patients undergoing renal transplantation.We prospectively determined levels of serum sCD14 at 1 h before transplantation(d 0)and the first 10 d after transplantation(d 1-10).The ser- um creatinine(Cr)levels were recorded at the same time.The patients were divided into 2 groups(rejection and non-rejection groups)according to whether they experienced acute rejection or not during the first 14 d after transplantation.The levels of serum sCD14 and Cr between the 2 groups were compared.Results Of 51 cases,13 experienced acute rejection,and the mean time from postoperation to rejection start was 7 d;38 cases had no rejection.On d 0,the Cr levels of rejection group[(789?221)?mol/L]and non-rejection group[(742?234)?mol/L]had no significant difference(P＞0.05).The Cr level was higher in rejection group than in non-rejection group on d 1-10.In the 2 groups,the Cr levels of d 3 and d 5 to d 10 were (237?104)vs(160?70),(176?85)vs(117?46),(174?81)vs(112?40),(173?81)vs(112?39),(209?53)vs(112?38),(203?73)vs(103?35),(181?50)vs(102?31)?mol/L,respective- ly,with significant difference between them(P＜0.05).The serum sCD14 levels on d 0 in rejection group [(9.55?5.71)mg/L]and non-rejection group[(8.99?3.89)mg/L]had no significant difference.The sCD14 levels were higher in rejection group than in non-rejection group on d 1-5[(15.52?6.60)vs (9.85?4.11),(15.48?5.85)vs(7.53?3.79),(12.15?4.45)vs(5.88?3.95),(10.84?4.11) vs(4.88?3.17),(7.61?5.37)vs(4.66?1.91)mg/L,respectively]with significant difference(P＜0.05).The sCD14 levels in the 2 groups on d 1 were elevated compared with those on d 0,then decreased gradually.Conclusions It is suggest that the increase in serum sCD14 levels occurs earlier than clinically acute rejection.The serum sCD14 levels on d 1-5 after transplantation can serve as important predictors for acute renal graft rejection.

Objective To investigate the killing effect of polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA) on spinal metastasis of transplanted VX2 carcinoma in experimental rabbit models. Methods Spinal metastasis of transplanted VX2 carcinoma model was successfully established in 18 rabbits. The experimental rabbits were randomly and equally divided into three groups with 6 rabbits in each group. Under CT guidance , PMMA or saline was injected into the center of VX2 tumor; in group A 0.3 ml of PMMA was used, in group B 0.1 ml of PMMA was used and in group C (control group) 0.3 ml saline was used. Twenty-four hours after the injection, the animals were sacrificed. Four tissue samples were obtained from the sites at 1 mm , 5 mm, 10 mm and 15 mm away from the PMMA mass in each rabbit of group A and group B , while four tissue samples were collected from different four sites from the tumor ’s center to border in each rabbit of group C. TdT-mediated dUTP nick-end labeling (TUNEL) method was used to determine the tumor cell apoptosis rate. Results After successful establishment of rabbit model, injection of PMMA was performed in sixteen among the eighteen rabbits. Technical success rates were 83.3% in both group A and B, and the success rate was 100% in group C. The difference in technical success rate was not significant. The mean tumor cell apoptosis rates of spinal VX2 carcinoma at 1 mm, 5 mm and 10 mm away from the PMMA mass in group A were (65.75±18.81)%, (50.00±14.24)% and(14.95±8.98)% respectively. The mean apoptosis rate in the control group was (9.79 ±5.24)%; the differences between the group A and the control group were statistically significant (P<0.05). The mean tumor cell apoptosis rate of spinal VX2 carcinoma at 15 mm away from the PMMA mass in group A was (10.30 ±8.13)%, which was not significantly different with that of the control group. The mean tumor cell apoptosis rates of spinal VX2 carcinoma at 1 mm and 5 mm away from the PMMA mass in group B were (49.20±15.57)% and(17.75±9.28)% respectively, which was significantly different with that of the control group(P<0.05); the mean tumor cell apoptosis rates at 10 mm and 15 mm away from the PMMA mass in group B were not significantly different with those of the control group. Statistically significant differences in the mean tumor cell apoptosis rates determined at 1 mm, 5 mm and 10 mm away from the PMMA mass existed between group A and group B(P<0.001). Conclusion PMMA can promote the apoptosis of tumor cells, properly increasing the injected amount of PMMA can enlarge the extent of tumor cell apoptosis.
