Objective To evaluate the potential effects of RS504393, CC chemokine receptor (CCR) 2b and CCR1 antagonist, on LPS-induced acute lung injury (ALI) and to investigate the underlying mechanisms. Method A549 cell line was stimulated with LPS (10 μg/mL) and then treated with RS504393 (10 μg/mL) for 6 hours. ALI model was established with intranasal administration of LPS (5 mg/kg) in C57BL/6J mice. RS504393 (5 mg/kg) was administered 30 min before LPS dripped nasally. IL-8, IL-1β, plasminogen activator inhibitor (PAI)-l,monocyte chemoattractant protein (MCP)-2,and the expressions of CCR1 and CCR2b were studied by using Realtime-RT-PCR, ELISA and cyto-flowmetry. Results In A549 cell line treated with RS504393,the expressions of CCR1, CCR2b and IL-8 were significantly inhibited after LPS stimulation. In rats with LPS-induced ALI, treatment with RS504393 significantly protected mice against lung injury by attenuating influx of leukocytes and protein into bronchoalveolar space and by lessening pathological changes of lung. Treatment with RS504393 down-regulated IL-1β and PAI-1 expressions in bronchoal veolar lavage fluid (BALF) and lungs at mRNA and protein levels along with up-regulation MCP-2 expression compared to rats of vehicle-treated groups. Conclusions CCR2b and CCR1 play pivotal roles in the development of ALl,and RS504393 as a antagonist can halt the development of ALI.

Objective To investigate the effects of the interaction between environmental factors and monoamine oxidase A (MAOA) gene polymorphism in Han and Uygur on alcoholics in Xinjiang. Methods The data of childhood abuse and domestic aggressive behaviors were collected from 284 patients with alcohol dependence from Xinjiang using self-made questionnaires, Modified Overt Aggression Scale (MOAS) and Barratt Impulsivity Scale-11 (BIS-11). The meth?ods of PCR and DNA sequencing technique were conducted to detect rs1137070 single nucleotide polymorphism loci of MAOA gene. Logistic regression analysis was performed to adjust for interaction effects of gene and childhood abuse on domestic violence. Results The scale evaluation identified 143 patients with and 138 patients without domestic violence. Childhood abuse and gene were both risk factors in domestic violence. The interaction effect of childhood abuse with rs1137070 was significant. the relative excess risk, the interaction attribution ratio and the interaction index were 1.00,0.14 and 1.20, respectively. Conclusions The interactions between genes and environmental risk factors may contribute to the domestic violence in Han and Uygur on alcoholics in Xinjiang.

Objective To investigate whether myeloid-derived suppressor cells (MDSCs) have a protective effect in septic mice. Methods The model of caecal ligation and puncture (CLP) was performed to induce polymicrobial sepsis in mice. The changes of MDSCs in spleens at different times after operation were studied. In order to observe the influence of MDSCs on the inflammatory factors and survival of septic mice, MDSCs were injected into the peritoneal cavities of mice after CLP. Results MDSCs accumulated in spleens of septic mice progressively. MDSCs could increase anti-inflammatory cytokine production, decrease the level of inflammatory factors, and improve the survival rate of mice with sepsis. Conclusion MDSCs can attenuate the inflammation and improve the survival rate of mice with sepsis, suggesting that intraperitoneal injection of MDSCs may provide a new direction for the treatment of sepsis.

OBJECTIVE To study the molecular mechanism of cisplatin(DDP)by which HeLa cell growth and proliferation are inhibited. METHODS Cultured HeLa cells were treated with DDP 0.02-75 μmol · L-1 for 24 or 48 h. CCK-8 assay was used to determine the cell proliferation. The wound scratch assay was used to detect the cell migration and invasion. Flow cytometry was used to detect the cell cycle arresting. q-PCR was used to test the expression of metastasis suppressor gene 1 (MTSS1)mRNA. Western blot was used to determine protein levels of MTSS1,phosphorylated-extra?cellular signal-regulated kinase(p-ERK) and phosphorylated-serine-threonine kinase(p-AKT). RESULTS Following the treatment with DDP for 24 or 48 h,the proliferation of HeLa cells was inhibited significantly (P<0.05),the value of the half inhibitory concentration (IC50) of cells was 4.14 and 11.82 μmol · L-1. Migration and invasion activity of HeLa cells were reduced according to the wound scratch assay(P<0.05). Flow cytometry results showed that the cell cycle was arrested at S phase. q-PCR results showed that MTSS1 mRNA expression changed with DDP in a concentration-dependent manner (r24 h=-0.965,P<0.01;r48 h=-0.953,P<0.01). Western blot showed that the protein levels of MTSS1,p-ERK and p-AKT expression declined significantly with the increase in DDP concentrations(p-ERK:r24 h=-0.875,P<0.01;r48 h=-0.966,P<0.01. p-AKT:r24 h=-0.831,P<0.01;r48 h=-0.863,P<0.01. MTSS1:r24 h=-0.969,P<0.01;r48 h=-0.988,P<0.01). CONCLUSION DDP treatment inhibits HeLa growth and proliferation by interfering with the MTSS1 expression and disturbing the activation of ERK and AKT signaling pathways.
