Objective To investigate the effects of adiponectin on cell activity and expression of T-cadherin in human retinal pigment epithelial(hRPE) cells cultured with high glucose.Methods ①The hRPE cells were divided into three groups:normal glucose group(5.5mmol/L glucose),high glucose group (33mmol/L glucose),high glucose plus adiponectin group (33mmol/L glucose+2.5ug/ml adiponectin).48h later,the cell activity was observed by MTT assay.②After the above groups were cultured respectively for 24h,48h,72h again,the expression of T-cadherin mRNA was observed by RT-PCR. Results ①Cell activity in high glucose group significantly decreased. Cell activity adiponectin group was higher than that in the high glucose group.②With the extension of time ,the expression of T-cadherin decreased in high glucose group,but increased in adiponectin group. Conclusion Adiponectin may be protect the hRPE cells by T-cadherin.

The expression of c-met stimulated by high glucose in human renal tubular epithelial cells and the role of HGF/c-met system in diabetic nephropathy were examined. The proximal tubular epithelial cells were cultured in vitro under different conditions. MTT was used for the detection of cellular proliferation and RT-PCR was employed for measurement of c-met mRNA level. Our results showed that under different conditions, there were no significant differences in the proliferation of proximal tubular epithelial cells 12 h and 24 h after the culuture (P>0.05). The proliferation of proximal tubular epithelial cells showed a significant change 96 h after the culture and the cellular proliferation induced by hepatocyte growth factor (HGF) was very active (P<0.05). Moreover, no significant difference in the expression of c-met mRNA was found 12 h after the culture under different conditions (P>0.05), while 24 and 96 h after the culture, a persistent and significantly higher expression of c-met mRNA was found in HGF-induced proliferation. It is concluded that addition of exogenous HGF could inhibit the apoptosis induced by high-level glucose, promote the proliferation of proximal tubular epithelial cells, and induce the expression of c-met. Our study suggests that local up-regulation of HGF/c-met system plays an important role in the repair of renal damage in diabetic nephropathy.

Objective To screen the target genes that contribute to cisplatin resistance in ovarian cancer treatment. Methods Gene expression and methylation profiles of ovarian cancer cells that were sensitive or resistant to cisplatin with accession number GSE15709 were downloaded from GEO database. Differential expressed and methylated genes were identi?fied through associating packages in R. DAVID database to screen the enriched GO terms and pathways of the different ex?pressed genes between A2780 and A2780/DDP. Gene Set Enrichment Analysis (GSEA) of different gene was performed against DAVID database. Genes that exhibited difference in both expression and methylation profiles between the two types of ovarian cancer cells as well as genes that present contradictory profile between expression and methylation were verified via qRT-PCR. Results We found 416 different expressed genes and 281 methylated genes between the two types of ovari?an cancer cells respectively. These differential genes were rich in pathways of cell cycle, DNA replication, nucleus division , p53 signaling , and negative regulation of protein modification process etc. Four genes demonstrated contradictory profile be?tween expression and methylation in the two types of ovarian cancer cells and were verified by qRT-PCR. Conclusion Combination of bioinformatics and molecular biology is useful in the identification of target genes that contribute to resis?tance of cisplatin in ovarian cancer treatment and further reveal molecular mechanism behind it.

Objective To determine the effect of nifedipine on the formation of nephrolithiasis in rat models and its mechanism of action. Methods A total of 60 male Sprague-Dawley rats (body weight, 200-250g) were randomly divided into 6 groups, ie, control group, only nifedipine group, stone forming group, stone forming plus 3, 6, 10 mg?kg-1?d-1 nifedipine group. Each group is 10 rats respectively. Hyperoxaluria and calcium oxalate crystals were produced in rats by ethylene glycol in drinking water. Four weeks later, all rats were sacrificed and the calcium oxalate crystallization in kidney, the renal free radical level, the renal cell apoptosis indexes and the blood and urine biochemical indexes were detected.
