Objective:To illuminate the influence of InsB15-23 H-2Kd dtSCT to the morbidity of type 1 diabetes mellitus in NOD mice.Methods:An eukaryotic plasmid encoded membrane-expressed InsB15-23 H-2Kd dtSCT was inoculated into 3 weeks old female NOD mice subcutaneously and the blood sugar and morbidity of type 1 diabetes mellitus were monitored once a week.To illuminate the cellular mechanism of immunologic intervention of membrane-expressed InsB15-23 H-2Kd dtSCT to the course of type 1 diabetes mellitus in NOD mice,the mononuclear cell infiltration of islets was detected by tissue slice and the frequency of IGRP206 2-14 specific CTLs in PBMC was analyzed by FACs.Results: As compared with pcDNA3.1 (-) control ( 60%) and untreated NOD mice ( 80%) , mice immunized with InsB15-23 H-2Kd dtSCT exhibited low level of islet infiltration and low morbidity in 30 weeks old ( 9%) .But the frequency of IGRP206-214 specific CTLs in PBMC of 16 and 40 weeks old mice showed no difference.Conclusion:Membrane-expressed InsB15-23 H-2Kd dtSCT can protect NOD mice from type 1 diabetes mellitus in IGRP206-214 independent pattern.

Objective To develop fast detection techniques for the diagnosis of gonococcal infections.Methods Prokaryotic expression vector for Neisserial surface protein A (NspA) was constructed using the NspA gene cloned by PCR.Mice were immunized with the renatured recombinant NspA (rrNspA)to prepare antibodies against NspA.Western blot and ELISA was used to analyze the binding of NspA antibodies to lysate of gonococcal cells or to intact gonococci.Results NspA antibodies that were prepared by the rrNspA expressed in E.coli could bind to rrNspA,the natural NspA existing in gonococcal cells,or intact gonococci.Conclusion RrNspA and its antibodies have potential value in developing fast diagnostic kits for gonococcal diseases.

Objective:To investigate the effect of myogenic differentiation protein 1(Myod1)on the proliferation inhibition and apoptosis of the SH-SY5Y cells induced by oxygen-glucose deprivation(OGD),and to elucidate its mechanism.Methods:Real-time quantitative fluorescence PCR(RT-qPCR)method was used to detect the mRNA levels of Myod1 and long non-coding RNA(lncRNA)small nucleolar RNA host gene 15(SNHG15)in peripheral blood of the subjects in normal group and the patients in ischemic cerebral infarction group as well as the normal cultured SH-SY5Y cells(control group)and the cells in OGD model(OGD group).After transfecting SH-SY5Y cells with si-Myod1,pcDNA3.0-Myod1,si-SNHG15,pcDNA3.0-SNHG15、si-NC,Vector,miR-NC,and miR-24-3p mimics,the cells were treated with OGD,and then the SH-SY5Y cells were divided into control group,OGD group,OGD+Vector group,OGD+Myod1 group,OGD+si-NC group,OGD+si-Myod1 group,OGD+si-SNHG15 group,OGD+si-SNHG15+Vector group,OGD+si-SNHG15+Myod1 group,OGD+miR-NC group,OGD+miR-mimics group,OGD+miR-mimics+Vector group,and OGD+miR-mimics+SNHG15 group.CCK-8 method was used to detect the cell activities in various groups;5-ethynyl-2'-deoxyuridine(EdU)staining was used to detect the rates of EDU positive cells in various groups;the rates of TdT-mediated dUTP nick end labeling(TUNEL)positive cells in various groups were detected by TUNEL staining;Western blotting method was used to detect the expression levels of cleaved caspase-3,cleaved caspase-9,B-cell lymphoma 2(Bcl-2)and Bcl-2 associated X protein(Bax)proteins in the cells in various groups;the association between Myod1 and SNHG15 was evaluated by chromatin immunoprecipitate(CHIP);dual luciferase reporter gene experiment was used to evaluate the targeting relationships between Myod1 and SNHG15 as well as SNHG15 and miR-24-3p.Results:Compared with normal control group,the expression levels of Myod1 and SNHG15 mRNA in peripheral blood of the patients in ischemic cerebral infarction group were significantly increased(P＜0.05).Compared with control group,the expression levels of Myod1 and SNHG15 mRNA in the SH-SY5Y cells in OGD group were significantly increased(P＜0.05).Compared with OGD group,the cell activities and rates of EdU positive cells in OGD+Myod1 group at 48 and 72 h were decreased(P＜0.01),and the rates of TUNEL positive cells were increased(P＜0.05);the cell activities and rates of EdU positive cells in OGD+si-Myod1 group were increased(P＜0.05),while the rates of TUNEL positive cells were decreased(P＜0.01).Myod1 binded to the promoter sequence of SNHG15.SNHG15 could absorb miR-24-3p,and there were target relatronships between Myod1 and SNHG15 as well as SNHG15 and miR-24-3p.After SNHG15 knockdown,compared with OGD group,the cell activities and rates of EdU positive cells in OGD+si-SNHG15 group at 48 and 72 h were increased(P＜0.01),and the rates of TUNEL positive cells were decreased(P＜0.01),the expression levels of Bax,cleaved caspase-3 and cleaved caspase-9 proteins were decreased(P＜0.01),and the expression levels of Bcl-2 protein were increased(P＜0.01).Compared with OGD+si-SNHG15 group,the cell activities and rates of EdU positive cells in OGD+si-SNHG15+Myod1 group at 48 and 72 h were decreased(P＜0.05),the rates of TUNEL positive cells were(P＜0.05),the expression levels of Bax,cleaved caspase-3,and cleaved caspase-9 proteins were increased(P＜0.05),and the expression levels of Bcl-2 were decreased(P＜0.05).After over-expression of miR-24-3p and SNHG15,compared with OGD group,the cell activities and rates of EdU positive cells in OGD+miR-mimics group at 48 and 72 h were increased(P＜0.01),the rates of TUNEL positive cells were significantly decreased(P＜0.01),the protein expression levels of Bax,cleaved caspase-3 and cleaved caspase-9 were decreased(P＜0.05),and the expression levels of Bcl-2 were increased(P＜0.01).Compared with OGD+miR-mimics group,the cell activities and rates of EdU positive cells in OGD+miR-mimics+SNHG15 group at 48 and 72 h were decreased(P＜0.05),and the rates of TUNEL positive cells were increased(P＜0.05),the expression levels of Bax,cleaved caspase-3 and cleaved caspase-9 proteins were increased(P＜0.05),and the expression levels of Bcl-2 protein were decreased(P＜0.05).Conclusion:Myod1 can promote the proliferation inhibition and apoptosis of OGD-induced SH-SY5Y cells by binding to the SNHG15 promoter region and then absorbing miRNA-24.
