AIM: To evaluate the role of Na+/H+ exchanger-1(NHE-1)in the proliferation and apoptosis of pulmonary artery smooth muscle cells in rats. METHODS: Twenty Wistar rats were equally randomized into the control group and 3-week hypoxic group. Intracellular pH (pHi) of the smooth muscle was determined with fluorescence measurement of the pH-sensitive dye BCECF-AM and the expression of NHE-1 mRNA was detected with RT-PCR. The primary culture of pulmonary artery smooth muscle cell in vitro was performed. In situ cell death detection kit (TUNEL) was used to study the effect of specific NHE-1 inhibitor, dimethyl amiloride (DMA), on the apoptosis of muscle cells which had intracellular acidification. RESULTS: pHi value and expression of NHE-1 mRNA of pulmonary artery smooth muscle cell were significantly higher respectively in the hypoxic group than those in the control group (P<0.01). DMA elevated the apoptotic ratio significantly. The effect was enhanced when DMA concentration was augmented and the time was prolonged. CONCLUSION: With the function of adjusting pHi, NHE-1 may play an important role in the proliferation and apoptosis of pulmonary artery smooth muscle cells.

Objective To produce a comprehensive transcript dataset of Oncomelania hupensis before and after Schistosoma japonicum infection,so as to provide experimental data for perfecting genetic structural information and excavating related mo-lecular markers of O. hupensis infected by S. japonicum. Methods O. hupensis snails were divided into the following 3 groups:one week after S. japonicum miracidium infection,4 weeks after S. japonicum miracidium infection,and normal condition. Mil-lion high-quality reads were obtained from the normalized cDNA of the pooled samples,which were assembled into transcripts. Results A total of 63686 unigenes were identified and were classified into 4 main categories,including general functional pre-diction(15.36%),signal transduction mechanism(11.75%),posttranslational modification(8.89%),and functional unknown (12.20%). Conclusions The transcriptome information of O. hupensis snail after the invasion of S. japonicum shows that sever-al genes are significantly up-regulated or down regulated expression,and that the availability of transcriptome information might provide a strong foundation for further understanding the schistosome-snail interaction at the molecular level.
