1.Endoplasmic reticulum stress-mediated hepatocyte apoptosis
Chinese Journal of Tissue Engineering Research 2007;0(18):-
Apoptosis and necrosis are two forms of liver diseases at cell level. Research on hepatocyte apoptosis will become the important topic for treatment of liver disease and understanding of regeneration after liver transplantation. In this study, we analyzed the correlation between endoplasmic reticulum stress and cell apoptosis from effect and function of endoplasmic reticulum stress, influence of endoplasmic reticulum stress on cell apoptosis and association between hepatocyte apoptosis and related disease. Endoplasmic reticulum stress is a self-protection mechanism for cells, but too much endoplasmic reticulum stress will harm cells even cause apoptosis. It is still unclear about the relationship of the endoplasmic reticulum stress and hepatocyte apoptosis, so we need further researches. The progress of studies about the relations between hepatocyte diseases and endoplasmic reticulum stress will improve treatments of liver diseases.

Objective: To study the influence of negative electrets on apoptosis of fibroblast cells and to probe its mechanism. Methods: Fibroblast cell were treated with -300, -500 and -1 000V PTFE electrets for 24, 48 and 72 h, respectively, and the influence of negative electrets on cell apoptosis was studied by means of flow cytometry and transmission electron microscope. Results: Compared with control group, apoptosis cells increased from 0.5% to 10% (some even to 15%) after 24,48 and 72 h action of -300, -500 and -1 000 V electrets. After action of -500 V PTFE electrets for 48-72 h, fibroblast cells showed characteristic morphological features of apoptosis. These features included chromatin aggregation, nuclear and cytoplasmic condensation and partition of cytoplasm and nucleus into membrane bound-vesicles (apoptotic bodies). The effect of negative electrets on apoptosis was in proportion to the time and electric field intensity. Conclusion: Negative electrets can enhance apoptosis of fibroblast cells.
