AIM: To investigate the developmental regulation of β-defensin rBD-2 gene expression in the rat lung. METHOD: Total RNA was isolated from the pulmonary tissues of the fetal, neonatal and adult rats. RT-PCR were performed with primers (P1: TTCAGTCATGAGGATCCATT AC; P2: TGGAACTTGGTCTTTTTATCTAC). The RT-PCR products were cloned into pGEM-T easy vector and the recombinant plasmid was analyzed with EcoR1 digestion and the inserted DNA sequencing was performed on ABI PRISM-377 DNA sequencer. RESULTS: Rat β-defensin-2 transcripts were detected in all the pulmonary tissues of rats during different developmental stages, e.g. at just before birth, 8 hours and 4 days after birth , and adult. CONCLUSION: The rat β-defensin-2 is constitutively expressed in the pulmonary tissues, suggesting that β-defensin-2 may play a role in the lung innate defense against infection.

AIM: To determine tissue distribution of rat ?-defensin rBD-1 gene expression.METHODS: Total RNA was isolated from 10 kinds of rat tissues. RT-PCR were performed with primers (R 1 5′→3′ ACTCTGGACCCTGACTTCACCG; R 2 5′→3′ CCCTTGCTTGTCCTTTATGTCC). The RT-PCR products around 272 bp in size were cloned into pGEM-T easy vector and the recombinant clones were analyzed by digestion with restriction endonucleases and DNA sequencing.RESULTS: Rat ?-defensin rBD-1 transcripts were found in the kidney and skin, whereas its mRNA was not detected in trachea, uterus, bladder, small intestine, spleen, skeletal muscle, bone marrow and parotid. Sequence analysis confirmed that the RT-PCR product is rBD-1 cDNA. CONCLUSION: These data suggested that ?-defensin rBD-1 may participate not only in the kidney but also in the skin natural defense against infections.

AIM: To study the regulation of rat ?-defensin-2 gene expression by bacteria.METHODS: E.coli ML-35 p and pseudomonas aeruginosa were injected into rat trachea. Total RNA was isolated from lung tissue after 24 h inoculation. RT-PCR and Northern blot were performed to detect ?-defensin-2 ( rBD-2 ) mRNA expression.RESULTS: The expression of rBD-2 gene was inhibited in the lung tissue by E.coli infection, but not by pseudomonas aeruginosa. CONCLUSION: These results indicated that E.coli infection could down-regulate rBD-2 gene expression in the rat lung tissues.

Objective To study the clinical characteristics and imaging features of perinatal autosomal recessive polycystic kidney disease ( ARPKD) and a systematic review of the literature was performed to improve awareness of the disease. Methods A newborn with infantile ARPKD admitted to the neonatal department of our hospital was studied and her clinical data and imaging features retrospectively reviewed. CNKI, CBMdisc, MEDLINE and Embase databases were searched using autosomal recessive, perinatal and polycystic kidney as keywords. 9 case reports were retrieved from 2005 to 2015 and a total of 9 patients were analyzed. Results The gestational age of patients with infantile ARPKD was from 33 to 37 weeks. 6 of them were diagnosed using prenatal ultrasound and one patient was diagnosed using genetic sequencing. One of 10 infants had a family history, 4 patientsˊ mothers had abnormal pregnancy history (spontaneous abortion or miscarriage) and 7 (70. 0%) patients with respiratory failure needed mechanical ventilation. The ultrasound of all the patients showed enlarged and hyperechogenic kidneys. 9 patients died, and only one patient was alive after renal transplant. Conclusions The characteristics of perinatal APRKD are enlarged and polycystic kidneys, hepatic cysts and liver fibrosis. Infants with this disease have poor outcomes and high mortality rate. Respiratory failure and renal failure are the main causes of death in the neonatal period and early diagnosis and treatment are necessary.
