OBJECTIVETo study the effect of hypoxia on cofilin activation in intestinal epithelial cells and its relation with distribution of tight junction protein zonula occludens 1 (ZO-1).
METHODSThe human intestinal epithelial cell line Caco-2 was used to reproduce monolayer cells. The monolayer-cell specimens were divided into control group (no treatment), hypoxic group ( exposed to hypoxia), and normoxic group (exposed to normoxia) according to the random number table. Western blotting was used to detect the protein expressions of cofilin and phosphorylatedl cofilin (p-cofilin) of cells in normoxic group and hypoxic group exposed to normoxia or hypoxia for 1, 2, 6, 12, and 24 h and control group, with 9 samples in control group and 9 samples at each time point in the other two groups. The other monolayer-cell specimens were divided into hypoxic group (exposed to hypoxia) and control group (no treatment) according to the random number table. Cells in hypoxic group exposed to hypoxia for 1, 2, 6, 12, and 24 h and control group were obtained. Morphology and distribution of F-actin was observd with laser scanning confocal microscopy, the ratio of F-actin to G-actin was determined by fluorescence method, and distribution of ZO-l and cellular morphology were observed with laser scanning confocal microscopy. The sample number of last 3 experiments was respectively 3, 6, and 3 in both hypoxic group (at each time point) and control group. Data were processed with paired ttest, analysis of variance of repeated measurement, and LSD-t test.
RESULTSThe protein expressions of cofilin and p-cofilin of cells between normoxic group exposed to normoxia for 1 to 24 h and control group showed no significant changes (with values from -0.385 to 1.701, t(p-cofilin)values from 0. 040 to 1.538, P values above 0.05). There were no obvious differences in protein expressions of en filmn of cells between hypoxic group exposed to hypoxia for 1 to 24 h and control group ( with values from 1.032 to 2.390, P values above 0.05). Compared with that in control group, the protein expressions of p-cofilin of cells were greatly reduced in hypoxic group exposed to hypoxia for 1 to 24 h (with values from 4.563 to 22.678, P values below 0.01), especially exposed to hypoxia for 24 h. The protein expressions of cofilin of cells between normoxic group and hypoxic group at each time point were close ( with t values from -0.904 to 1.433, P values above 0.05). In hypoxic group, the protein expressions of p-cofilin of cells exposed to hypoxia for 1, 2, 6, 12, and 24 h were 0.87 +/- 08, 0.780 .05, 0.89 +/- 0.07, 0.68+0. 07, and 0.57 +/- 0.06, respectively, significantly lower than those in normoxic group (0.90 +/- 0.07, 0.97 +/- 0.06, 1.00 +/- 0.06, 1.00 +/- 0.05, and 0.99 +/- 0.05, with t values from 3.193 to 16.434, P values below 0.01). In control group, F-actin in the cytoplasm was abundant, most of it was in bunches. The trend of F-actin was disorderly in hypoxic group from being exposed to hypoxia for 1 h, shortened in length or even dissipated. The ratios of F-actin to G-actin of cells in hypoxic group exposed to hypoxia for 12 and 24 h (0.89 +/- 0.12 and 0.84 +/- 0.19) were obviously decreased as compared with that in control group (1. 00, with t values respectively 3. 622 and 3. 577, P values below 0.01). There were no obvious differences in the ratios of F-actin to G-actin of cells between hypoxic group exposed to hypoxia for 1, 2, and 6 h and control group ( with values from 0.447 to 1.526, P values above 0.05). In control group, cells were compact in arrangement, and ZO-1 was distributed continuously along the cytomnembrane. From being exposed to hypoxia for 2 h, cells became irregular in shape in hypoxic group. ZO-1 was distributed in discontinuous fashion along the cytomembrane with breakage in hypoxic group exposed to hypoxia for 24 h.
CONCLUSIONSHypoxia may cause the disorder of dynamic balance between F-actin and G-actin by inducing cofilin activation, which in turn leads to the changes in distribution of tight junction protein ZO-1 in intestinal epithelial cells.

AIM: To observe the clinical effects of intravitreal injection of triamcinolone acetonide ( TA ) before vitrectomy for retinal detachment associated with choroidal detachment. · METHODS: Totally 23 cases ( 23 eyes ) of retinal detachment associated with choroidal detachment in our hospital were treated by intravitreal injection of TA 4-5d before 23-Gauge micro-invasive vitrectomy combined with silicone oil injection. All the cases were followed up between 6 to 9mo. The anatomic retinal reattachment, visual acuity, intraocular pressure and postoperative complications were observed and analyzed. ·RESULTS: After the surgery, the visual acuity of all patients were improved, with 9 eyes better than 0. 3 (39%), and 18 eyes better than 0. 05 (78%). The BCVA at 1wk, 1 and 3mo and last follow up were different compared with before operations (P<0. 05). The mean intraocular pressure was 4. 02±1. 47mmHg before injection, 13.69±4. 68mmHg before operation (P<0. 05), and17.72±5.87 mmHg after operation (P<0.05). The retina of all patients treated were reattached 2wk post-operatively. The retinal reattachment rate after the primary surgery and the secondary surgery was 87% and 100%, respectively. Post-operative complications included 7 eyes of transient high intraocular pressure, occurred during 12-14d after operations and returned to normal after less glucocorticoid eye drops and giving IOP lowering drugs. There were no intraocular hemorrhage, iatrogenic retinal breaks, infections, or lens injuries. · CONCLUSION: Intravitreal injection of TA before vitrectomy for retinal detachment associated with choroidal could improve the clinical effects, and decrease the difficulty of surgery while the injection itself is pretty safe.

Aim To examine the effect of ? opioid receptor agonist U50488H on the levels of interleukin-6(IL-6) and interleukin-8(IL-8) from angiotensinⅡ(AngⅡ) stimulated endothelial cells.Methods In the in vivo study,the modulation of U50488H(1.5 mg?kg~-1) intravenously on the level of AngⅡ was evaluated.In the in vitro study,endothelial cells from human umbilical vein(HUVEC) were cultured and divided into four groups:Control group,AngⅡ group,and AngⅡ plus U50488H and/or nor-BNI(a selective ? opioid receptor antagonist) group.These groups were treated respectively with phosphate buffered solution(PBS),AngⅡ(10~-9~10~-5 mol?L~-1),and AngⅡ in the presence of U50488H and/or nor-BNI for 0~24 hours.Culture supernatant and endothelial cells were collected at 0,3,6,12 and 24 h.IL-6 and IL8 levels in culture supernatant were measured by enzyme linked immunosorbent assay(ELISA).Results The level of AngⅡ in the blood was significantly decreased following U50488H intravenously,which was blocked by nor-BNI administration(2 mg?kg~-1).AngⅡ stimulated the productions of IL-6 and IL-8 from HUVEC in the dose-dependent and time-dependent manners.U50488H at 10~-5 mol?L~-1 significantly inhibited this process,and the inhibitory effect of U50488H was blocked by nor-BNI,which itself had no effect.Conclusion ? opioid receptor may play a role in the process of anti-inflammation via down regulation of AngⅡ level and inhibition of the AngⅡ-stimulated IL-6 and IL-8 productions from endothelium cells.
