AIM: To explore the role of plasma ?-endorphin(?-EP) in the suppression of cellular immunity following trauma-hemorrhagic shock(T-HS). METHODS: ① Wistar rats with T-HS were sacrificed at 0 h, 1 h, 3 h, 6 h, 12 h, 24 h after T-HS. Plasma sample was collected and ?-EP levels in plasma was measured. Rats with sham-operated were served as the controls. ②In in vitro experiment, splenic cells were isolated and mixed from four normal rats and cocultured with shock plasma (SP) or SP +?-EP antiserum. ConA-induced splenic cell proliferation, IL-2 production, IL-2R expression were examined. RESULTS: ① Levels of plasma ?-EP elevated remarkably after T-HS immediately, peaked at 1h , showed decreasing tendency and restored normal 24 h after T-HS. ② Shock plasma significantly suppressed ConA-induced splenic cell function. Levels of plasma ?-EP were negatively correlated with spenic cell proliferation and IL-2 production and IL-2R expression. Compared with SP group, splenic cell function elevated markedly in SP + ?-EP antiserum group, but still lower than that in controls. CONCLUSION: The elevated plasma ?-EP following T-HS was involved in the suppression of cellular immunity.

Objective To investigate the correlation between invasion ability and cytoskeleton remodeling of hepatocarcinoma cell by atomic force microscopy (AFM) and to explore mechanical properties during genesis,development and invasion of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC).Methods Four HCC cell lines (MHCC-97H,MHCC-97L,SMMC-7721 ,Huh-7 )with different invasive ability were studied.Mechanical parameter (Young′s modulus)was measured by AFM.The pattern of cytoskeleton remodeling of HCC cell lines with different invasive ability was detected by immunofluorescent staining. The difference of cell invasive ability was tested by cell scratch experiment in other to verify mechanical data.Kruskal-Wallis H test was used to compare the differences between groups.Results The results of AFM indicated that Young′s modulus of cytoplasma area and nucleus area decreased gradually as cell invasion ability increased (χ2 =472.78,622.43,both P <0.01).According to invasive ability from low to high,Young′s modulus of cell cytoplasm area of Huh-7,SMMC-7721 ,MHCC-97L and MHCC-97H were 1 602.43 (845 .48,3 317.25)Pa,1 055 .28 (367.48,2 280.77)Pa,1 026.78 (369.20,2 019.96)Pa and 503.12 (366.11 ,700.31)Pa,respectively.Young′s modulus of cell nucleus area of Huh-7,SMMC-7721 ,MHCC-97L and MHCC-97H were 2 823.98 (1 262.78,4 440.07 )Pa,1 313.43 (590.71 , 2 678.62)Pa,1 285 .17 (583.29,1 961 .19)Pa and 655 .57 (441 .29,943.39)Pa,respectively.The results of immunofluorescent staining showed that the stronger the cell invasive ability,the worse cytoskeletal integrity and more irregular cell microfilament distribution. In cell scratch assay, the migration rate of MHCC-97H was 46.67% in 24 h and 86.47% in 48 h,that of MHCC-97L was 45 .70%in 24 h and 82.86% in 48 h,that of SMMC-7721 was 39.41 % in 24 h and 79.85 % in 48 h and that of Huh-7 was 34.60% in 24 h and 72.09% in 48 h,which showed that the cell migration orderly in creased as the cell invasion ability increased.Conclusions It seemed that HCC with higher invasive ability had lower Young′s modulus,softer cell,stronger deformability,worse cytoskeleton integrity and more irregular cell structure,and vice versa.

Objective To screen for differential expression of genes in bone marrow mesenchymal stem ceils (MSCs) stimulated by electromagnetic fields (EMFs) and to study the mechanism of differentiation of the bone mar- row MSCs induced by EMFs.Methods Mouse bone marrow MSCs were isolated and cultured in vitro.The third- passage cells were stimulated by EMFs,then the total RNA was extracted,purified to cDNA and reversely transcribed to yield a cRNA probe.The cRNA probes from stimulated and control cells were labelled with Cy5 and Cy3,respec- tively.The two samples were hybridized with a mouse oligo microarray,and the hybridization signals were scanned. The reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) was used to identify the interesting genes:Duspl and Rabl.Results A total of 153 differentially expressed genes were found comparing the stimulated group and the control group.There were 74 up-regulated genes and 79 down-regulated genes in the stimulated group.Semi-quantita- tive RT-PCR confirmed that the Duspl and Rabl mRNA expression levels of the stimulated group were up-regulated. Conclusion The gene expression profiles of the bone marrow MSCs were altered after EMF exposure.The genes are involved in cell proliferation and differentiation,transcription control,metabolism and response to stress.These re- sults provide deeper insight into the mechanism of differentiation of the bone marrow MSCs.
