BACKGROUND:In recent years, embryonic hepatic stem cel s have attracted more attention, but there are few reports on the potential of embryonic hepatic stem cel s to differentiate into cardiomyocyte-like cel s as wel as the related differentiation conditions. OBJECTIVE:To investigate the moderate condition to induce mice embryonic hepatic stem cel s to differentiate into cardiomyocyte-like cel s in vitro with chemical reagents. METHODS:Dimethylsulfoxide in combination with 5-azacytidine with different concentrations and time were used to induce the embryonic hepatic stem cel s of 13.5 days mice and to observe the differentiation effect. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Under in vitro conditions, 0.8%dimethylsulfoxide+5μmol/L 5-azacytidine could induce the mouse embryonic hepatic stem cel s to express the specific markers of myocardial cel s, while increasing the concentration of the inducer and extending the induction time could not improve the induction efficacy.

BACKGROUND: Fetal liver cells can have stronger abilities to proliferation and differentiation and lower immunogenicity compared to bone marrow stem cells. However, there are few studies on direct isolation and culture of embryonic hepatic stem cells (EHSCs). OBJECTIVE: To isolate and cultivate EHSCs in vitro and to identify their biological features. DESIGN, TIME AND SETTING: The cytology in vitro controlled study was performed at the Chongqing Key Laboratory of Neurology from March to June 2008. MATERIALS: A total of 9 SPF Kunming fetal mice aged 13.5 days were obtained from Animal Experimental Center of Chongqing Medical University. METHODS: Collagenase + EDTA digestion and differential adherence method were used to isolate EHSCs, which were then incubated at 2?108 /L. Cells were digested and passaged when 80%-90% cells were confluent. Using streptavidin-biotin-peroxidase complex technique, adhered cells following 5 days of incubation were labeled with various EHSC surface marker. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Morphology, passage, amplification and surface marker surface of EHSCs were measured. RESULTS: The isolated EHSCs adhered to the culture plastic and presented pykno-round cells and distinct borderline 24 hours after cultivation in vitro. Cells grew spindle-shaped 3 days. After 7 days they grew like epithelium. Cell amplified speed following passage did not have significant changes. Cells still presented epithelium-like shape at the passage 5. The adhered cells at day 5 following primary incubation were positively for human stem cell factor receptor and alpha fetoprotein, and negatively for albumin and cytokeratin 19. CONCLUSION: EHSCs were positively for human stem cell factor receptor and alpha fetoprotein, and negatively for albumin and cytokeratin 19 in early primary culture. This indicated that the cultivated cells are proved to be primordial progenitor cells and still in undifferentiated early phase.

Objective To evaluate the effect of propofol on liver injury in mice with acute liver failure (ALF).Methods Eighty adult male ICR mice,aged 1 months,weighing 20-25 g,were randomly divided into 3 groups (n =20 each) using a random number table:control group (group Ⅰ),ALF group (group Ⅱ),and ALF + propofol group (group Ⅲ).ALF model was established with intra-peritoneal D-galactosamine (D-GaIN) and lipopolysaccharide (LPS).Propofol 5 mg/kg was injected via the tail vein every 1 h within 6 h after injection of DGaIN and LPS in group Ⅲ,while the equal volume of normal saline was given instead in the other groups.Venous blood samples were taken from the tail vein at 1,3 and 6 h after injection of D-GaIN and LPS (T1-3) to detect the activities of serum aspartate aminotransferase (AST) and alanine aminotransferase (ALT) and serum tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α),interleukin-1β (IL-1β) and IL-10 concentrations (by ILISA).The survival within 12 h after injection of D-GaIN and LPS was observed and the survival rates were calculated.The mice were sacrificed and livers were removed for microscopic examination of pathologic changes.Results Compared with group Ⅰ,the activities of AST and ALT were significantly increased at each time point in Ⅱ and Ⅲ groups and the serum TNF-α concentrations at T1,2 and IL-1β and IL-10 concentrations at each time point were significantly increased in group Ⅱ,and the serum TNF-α concentrations at T1,and IL-1β and IL-10 concentrations at T2,3 were significantly increased in group Ⅲ (P ＜ 0.05).Compared with group Ⅱ,the activities of AST and ALT at each time point,serum TNF-α concentrations at T1,2 and IL-1β and IL-10 concentrations at T2,3 were significantly decreased and the survival rate within 12 h after injection of D-GaIN and LPS was increased in group Ⅲll (P ＜ 0.05).The pathologic changes of liver tissues were gradually attenuated in Ⅱ and Ⅲ groups.Conclusion Propofol can reduce the liver injury in mice with ALF through inhibiting inflammatory responses.

Invasion of glioma is a complex process with multiple steps and multiple factors,including the inhibition of tumor cell adhesion,the degradation of extracellular matrix,the promotion of tumor cells migration and angiogenesis.The abnormal activation of Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway is closely related to the invasion of glioma.The study of Wnt/β-catenin pathway affecting invasion mechanism of glioma will provide new ideas and targets for the treatment of glioma.

Objective To investigate the dilating effect of dexmedetomidine (DEX)on isolated vascular smooth muscles and to explore the mechanism.Methods Tension of isolated mesenteric arterial rings of male Sprague-Dawley rats was recorded.The effects of DEX on the rings and the effects of DEX on vascular reaction induced by various drugs were recorded. Results DEX completely relaxed the contraction induced by phenylephrine (PE)and KCl in a concentration-dependent manner in endothelium intact mesenteric arterial rings in rats.The vasodilating effect of DEX was increased by sodium nitroprusside.In phenylephrine (10-5 mol/L)based on pre-vasoconstriction,adding acetylcholine could not suppress DEX’s vasodilating effect.Vasodilation was not related to the endothelial cells.In physiological saline solution without calcium,DEX significantly inhibited the contraction induced by addition of CaCl2 .Conclusion DEX can induce vasodilation in a concentration-dependent manner,which is not dependent on the endothelial cells.
