The effects of epigenetic modification on the differentiation of islet cells and the expression of associated genes (Pdx-1, Pax4, MafA, and Nkx6.1, etc) were investigated. The promoter methylation status of islet differentiation-associated genes (Pdx-1, Pax4, MafA and Nkx6.1), Oct4 and MLH1 genes of mouse embryonic stem cells, NIH3T3 cells and NIT-1 cells were profiled by methylated DNA immunoprecipitation, real-time quantitative PCR (MeDIP-qPCR) techniques. The histone modification status of these genes promoter region in different cell types was also measured by using chromatin immunoprecipitation real-time quantitative PCR methods. The expression of these genes in these cells was detected by using real-time quantitative PCR. The relationship between the epigenetic modification (DNA methylation, H3 acetylation, H3K4m3 and H3K9m3) of these genes and their expression was analyzed. The results showed that: (1) the transcription-initiation-sites of Pdx-1, MafA and Nkx6.1 were highly methylated in NIH3T3 cells; (2) NIH3T3 cells showed a significantly higher level of DNA methylation modification in the transcription-initiation-site of Pdx-1, Pax4, MafA and Nkx6.1 genes than that in mES cells and NIT-1 cells (P<0.05); (3) NIT-1 cells had a significantly higher level of H3K4m3 modification in the transcription-initiation-site of Pdx-1, Pax4, MafA and Nkx6.1 genes than that in mES cells and NIH3T3 cells (P<0.05), with significantly increased level of gene expression; (4) NIH3T3 cell had a significantly higher level of H3K9m3 modification in the transcription-initiation-site of Pdx-1, Pax4, MafA and Nkx6.1 genes than that in mES cells and with NIT-1 cell (P<0.05), with no detectable mRNA expression of these genes. It was concluded that histone modification (H3K4m3 and H3K9m3) and DNA methylation might have an intimate communication between each other in the differentiation process from embryonic stem cells into islet cells.

Objective To retrospectively analyze the clinical epidemiology features of adult idiopathic membranous nephropathy (IMN) in Zhongshan Hospital,and to investigate their therapeutic effect and its possible influence factors.Methods A total of 183 patients admitted to the Zhongshan Hospital of Fudan University and diagnosed as IMN by renal biopsy from January 2013 to December 2015 were involved.Their baseline information including demographics and pathologic was collected.Patients were followed up for at least 12 months.Serum albumin < 30 g/L and 24 h urine protein > 3.5g were defined as nephrotic syndrome (NS).IMN patients were divided into NS and non-NS groups and compared.Furthermore,the baseline data of remission and no remission patients were compared,and the correlations of their baseline data with conservative and immunosuppressive therapy were assessed by logistic regression analysis.Results (1) IMN accounted for 11.1% of renal biopsy cases in our hospital,with an average age of 57 years and 59.6% male patients.(2) Compared with patients without NS,IMN patients with NS were older,had a shorter time from the onset to receive renal biopsy,lower estimated glomerular filtration rate,and higher total cholesterol,low density lipoprotein cholesterol,triglyceride and serum creatinine (all P < 0.05).(3) The effective rate of conservative treatment in IMN patients without NS was 65.7%,and the ineffective group had higher triglyceride compared with the effective group (P=0.019).(4) The effective rate of immunosuppressive therapy in IMN patients with NS was 81.2%,and low serum albumin was an independent risk factor for the poor efficacy of immunosuppressive therapy (OR=1.202,95% CI 1.003-1.440,P=0.046).(5) The effective rate of conservative treatment in IMN patients with NS was 55.5%,and low serum albumin was an independent risk factor for the poor efficacy of conservative treatment (OR=1.629,95%CI 1.047-2.536,P=0.023).Conclusions The detection rate of IMN is increasing year by year,but the remission rate of conservative treatment is still not low in mild and moderate patients.For the patients without NS,high triglyceride may predict a poor effect of conservative treatment.Hypoproteinemia is a predictor of poor effect,no matter what a NS patient takes immunosuppressive therapy or conservative treatment.

Objective To evaluate the early change of left ventricular (LV) systolic function in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus(T2DM) by ultrasound speckle tracking imaging. Methods Ninety-five subjects were included:40 T2DM with normal LV ejection fraction (LVEF≥50% ,group A),20 T2DM with abnormal LVEF (LVEF<550 %) (group B), and 35 normal controls. Two-dimensional strain images were acquired from LV short-axis view. LV peak systolic global and segmental radial strain and circumferential strain at the levels of mitral annulus, papillary muscle and apex, and LV systolic global and segmental rotation at the levels of mitral annulus and apex and LV peak systolic global twist were assessed. Results In group A, compared with control group, LV peak systolic radial strain parameters were not significant difference (P >0.05), peak systolic circumferential strain of part segments, average peak strain of each plane and global strain were reduced (P <50.05~0.001) ,and LV peak systolic rotation of all apical segments, peak systolic global rotation at the levels of mitral annulus and apex,and peak systolic global twist were significantly increased (P <0.05~0.001). Compared with control group and group A,all LV systolic radial strain and circumferential strain parameters, LV systolic global and segmental rotation and peak systolic global twist in group B were significantly reduced (P <0.05 ~ 0.001). Conclusions Speckle tracking imaging could be used to evaluate the early change of LV torsional deformation and LV systolic function in T2DM.
