Objective To explore the therapeutic effects and the mechanisms of Faecalibacterium prausnitzii (Fp) on trinitro-benzene-sulfonic acid-induced colitis.Methods Sixty Sprague-Dawley rats were divided into healthy control group, colitis model control group, Fp pretreated group,Fp supernatant pretreated group,Fp treated group and Fp supernatant treated group.Disease activity index (DAI),histological injury of colonic tissue,the content of butyrate in feces,forkhead box protein 3 (Foxp3) regulatory T cells (Treg) in peripheral blood and spleen and the level of interlenkin (IL)-17 and IL-6 in serum were evaluated.All the data were statistical analyzed by single factor analysis of variance. Results Compared with colitis model control group, DAI significantly lowered and histological injury obviously improved in Fp pretreated group, Fp supernatant pretreated group,Fp treated group and Fp supernatant treated group.The effects of Fp pretreated group were better than those of Fp treated group and Fp supernatant pretreated group were better than Fp supernatant treated group.The concentration of butyrate in Fp pretreated group,Fp supernatant pretreated group,Fp treated group and Fp supernatant treated group was (3091.08 ±485.50) × 106 mol/L,(1714.64 ± 351.25) × 10(-8) mol/L,(2064.75 ± 295.04) × 10-6 mol/L and (1089.13±321.23) × 10-6 mol/L respectively,there was significant difference between Fp pretreated group and other groups (F=49.796,P＜0.01).The peripheral blood level of Foxp3+ Treg in Fp supernatant pretreated group was highest.The spleen level of Foxp3+ Treg in Fp pretreated group and Fp supernatant pretreated group were significantly higher than that of other groups.The serum level of IL-17 and IL-6 in Fp pretreated group,Fp supernatant pretreated group,Fp treated group and Fp supernatant treated group was significantly lower than that of colitis model group.Conclustons Fp plays a role in promoting the repair of intestinal inflammatory reaction in colitis model rats.The mechanism may be related with butyrate producing,the peripheral blood and spleen level of Foxp3+ Treg up-regulating,suppressing the secretion of proinflammatory cytokine IL-17 and IL-6.Rebuilding the balance of Treg/Th17 to reduce local intestinal inflammation.

Objective To investigate the protective effects and mechanism of Faecalibacterium prausnitzii (Fp) and its products in 2,4,6-trinitrobenzene sulfonic acid (TNBS) induced colitis rats.Methods A total of 40 Sprague-Dawley rats were divided into healthy control group,colitis model group,Fp supernatant group,Fp bacteria group and Bifidobacterium longum (B.longum) group.The rats of the later four groups were enemaed with TNBS to establish the model.At five days before and one day after modeling,the rats were gavaged with phosphate buffer saline (PBS),the supernatant of Fp,live Fp bacteria and live B.longum respectively.Rats were executed at 48 hour after modeling.The colon tissues were taken for pathology examination.The content of short-chain fatty acids (SCFA) in fecal was tested by gas chromatography.The plasma level of interleukin-10 (IL- 10),interleukin-12 ( IL-12),interleukin-17 (IL-17) and interleukin-23 (IL-23) were detected by enzyme-linked immunosorbnent assay (ELISA) and the expression of IL-17 in intestinal mucosal tissues was measured by immunohistochemistry.The data were analyzed by one way ANOVA.Results Compared with the healthy control group,the rats of colitis group suffered serious weight loss and their intestinal pathology score increased [(193.57±14) g vs (170.25±19.18) g,(1.00±0.99) vs (3.34±0.38),t=2.83 and 7.55,all P value＜0.05].The Fp supernatant group showed protective effects in terms of weight and intestinal pathology score [(187.00± 14.67) g,(2.50±0.44),t=2.1 and 2.9,all P＜0.05].Compared with healthy control group,the plasma and colon tissue IL-17 concentration of colitis model group increased (16.61 pg/ml±2.45 pg/ml vs 20.47 pg/ml± 1.45 pg/ml,0.83±0.98 vs 5.14±0.90) (all P＜0.05).Compared with the colitis model group,the plasma and colon tissue IL-17 concentration of Fp supernatant group decreased ( 17.54 pg/ml± 1.51 pg/ml and 2.86±0.69).Conclusion Fp can regulate immune response and suppress rat colonic inflammation,which may be related with the expression of IL-17.

Objective To determine the effect of apigenin on inducing apoptosis and inhibiting proliferation of non-small cell lung cancer cell line NCI-H1650. Methods NCI-H1650 cell line was cultured routinely in vitro, with blank control group and different concentrations of apigenin (10, 20, 40, 80 μmol?L-1). The blank control group was RPMI-1640 solution without apigenin. Cell proliferation was detected by MTT. Hoechst 33258 was applied to observe morphological changes of the apoptotic cells after treatment of different concentrations of apigenin. Flow cytometry AnnexinV-FITC/PI double staining method was used to determine cell apoptosis rate. The expression levels of apoptosis-related signaling molecules Bax and Bcl-2 protein were performed by Western blotting. Results MTT showed that apigenin inhibited proliferation of NCI-H1650 cell line in a concentration-and time-dependent manner (P<0.01).Hoechst 33258 nuclear staining showed typical characteristics of apoptosis in certain concentration-dependent manner, such as nuclear condensation and appearance of apoptotic bodies. In addition, the results of flow cytometry staining indicated that the apoptotic rate of NCI-H1650 cells cultured with blank control group and different concentrations of apigenin (10, 20, 40, 80 μmol?L-1) for 48 h was (5.00±0.33)%, (18.05±4.67)%, (21.48± 1.95)%, (43.24±1.11)%, (66.23±3.65)%, respectively (P<0.01).Western blotting results showed that the expression levels of Bax increased with increasing of the drug concentration, but Bcl-2 decreased with increasing of the drug concentration. Conclusion Apigenin can inhibit the proliferation and induce apoptosis of NCI-H1650 cells in non-small cell lung cancer. Mechanisms may be related to increase of the expression of apoptosis related protein Bax and decrease of the expression of anti apoptosis protein Bcl-2.

Objective To study the value of MR three-dimensional volumetric interpolated breath-hold examination(3D-VIBE)and conventional MR imaging (including MRCP) in diagnosing cholangiocarcinoma early and evaluating the respectability of cholangiocarcinoma. Methods 20 patients with malignant obstruction of bile duct were scaned by conventional MR imaging(including MRCP) and dynamic-enhanced 3D-VIBE triple-phase acquisitions. MR imaging features of the tumors were analysed and the re-spectability of cholangiocarcinoma was also evaluated. The differences between conventional MR imaging and 3D-VIBE in displaying the tumors and the infiltration extent of the tumors were compared.

Objective Hirsutella sinensis (HS) is the anmorph of Ophiocordyceps sinensis (Cordyceps sinensis). O.sinensis and Panax notoginseng are two popular Chinese herbs, commonly used in traditional Chinese prescriptions for the treatment of various diseases. A combination of HS extract with P. notoginseng saponin (PNS) extract demonstrated more prominent lung-protective activity than the two herbs individually used in our preliminary studies. This study further investigated the action of their combination (HSPNS) on anti pulmonary fibrosis using a Bleomycin (BLM)induced mouse model. Methods BLM-treated Kunming mice was given HSPNS daily for 7, 14 or 28 d via ig administration. After treatment, following parameters were monitored using proper methods, respectively. Lung index, serum and lung malondialdehyde (MDA) and hydroxyproline (HYP) contents, lung superoxide dismutase (SOD) activity, transforming growth factor β1 (TGF-β1), and expression levels of collagen Ⅰ (Col- Ⅰ) and collagen Ⅲ (Col-Ⅲ). The lung biopsies were also dissected for semiquantitative histological analysis. Results The results indicated that HSPNS significantly reduced lung index, MDA and HYP contents, and expression levels of TGF-β1,Col- Ⅰ, and Col-Ⅲ. The combination also remarkably enhanced SOD activity compared with BLM-induced group.Moreover, the severe pulmonary fibrosis histopathological changes induced by BLM could be attenuated by HSPNS treatment. Conclusion These results suggest that HSPNS could significantly inhibit the progression of pulmonary fibrosis induced by BLM and its inhibitory effect might associate with its ability to scavenge free radicals, decrease TGF-β1 level, and inhibit collagen synthesis.

Objective To investigate the antitumor activity of IL-24 delE5 in human leukemia cell line K562. Methods The expression of mda-7/IL-24 and its splice variant induced by TPA in leukemic cell lines, U937 and HL-60, was evaluated. The effects of IL-24 delE5 in K562 on cell proliferation, colony-forming ability, cell cycle, apoptosis, and tumor growth in vivo by using MTr assay, colony forming assay, flow cytometry, Annexin-V/PI and tumor xenograft models in nude mice were assessed. Meantime, the effects of IL-24 delE-5 and mda-7/IL-2A were compared. Results The expression of IL-24 dciE5 was detected in differentiated U937 and HL-60 cells. Transfection with IL-24 delE5 significantly reduced tumor cell viability, inhibited colony formation. Comparing with the control, G_0/G_1 stage add from (24.46±3.99) % to (42.69±3.04) %, caused cell cycle arrest in G_0/G_1 stage and significantly inhibited the growth of K562 transplantation tumor. No significant differences in the aforementioned antileukemia characteristics between IL-24 delE5 and mda-7/IL-24 was found. Conclusion Similar with mda-7/IL-24, IL-24 delE5 can efficiently inhibit the proliferation of K562 in vitro and in vivo, probably through induction of G_0/G_1 cell cycle arrest.

Objective To explore the mechanism of the cell-cycle arrest induced by human melanoma differentiation associated gene-7 (mda-7/IL-24) in chronic myelocytic leukemia cell line K562. Methods Microarray analysis was performed to determine the genes that were differentially regulated by mda-7/IL-24 in K562 cells, and was validated by realtime PCR. The phosphorylated pRb were detected by Western blotting analysis. Results A microarray analysis showed that G_0/G_1 phase-associated genes p21~(WAF-1) and BCCIP were up-egulated, while cdk6 and Smurf2 were down-regulated. The directional change in the expression of the four genes was successfully validated with real-time quantitative RT-PCR. pRb Set~(795) phosphorylation was observed with no modification of the pRb protein level. Conclusion These results suggest that IL-24/mda-7 may inhibit K562 proliferation and induce G_0/G_1 cell cycle angst by up-regulating p21~(WAF-1) and BCCIP, down-regulating cdk6 and Smurf2.
