Objective To determine the effect of ghrelin on protecting the human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVEC) from injury by angiotesin Ⅱ(AngⅡ) in vitro. Methods (1)HUVEC was incubated for 24 h with AngⅡ whose final concentration in the medium varied from 10-9 to 10-6mol/L or pretreated with 10-9to 10-6mol/L ghrelin for 2 h before incubation for 24 h with AngⅡwhose final concentration in the medium was 10-6mol/L. HUVECs were harvested to measure the cell vitality and cell apoptosis. The cell vitality was determined by MTT and cell apoptosis rates were measured by Annexin V-FITC apoptosis detection kit. (2)HUVECs were incubated for 3,6,12,or 24 h with 10-9,10-8,10-7,or 10-6mol/L AngⅡ, respectively. Before HUVECs were incubated with 10-6 mol/L AngⅡfor 24 h, ghrelin (10-9,10-8,10-7, and 10-6 mol/L) was used to pretreat the cells for 2 h. Growth hormone secregogue receptor 1a blocker [D-Lys3]GHRP-6 was added to the cells which were incubated for 24 h with 10-6mol/L AngⅡ and pretreated with 10-6 mol/L ghrelin for 2 h. Cell reactive oxygen species were measured by dichlorofluorescin (DCF) fluorescence probe method. (3)HUVECs were incubated for 24 h with 10-9,10-8,10-7, or 10-6mol/L AngⅡ and ghrelin, respectively,and then were incubated with 10-6mol/L of AngⅡ for 3,6,12,or 24 h. Furthermore,HUVECs were pretreated with 10-9,10-8,10-7, or 10-6mol/L ghrelin for 30 min,1 h,or 2 h, and then were incubated with the inhibitor of mitogen-activated protein kinase /extracellular regulated kinase (MAPK/ERK1/2),PD98059, the inhibitor of phosphoinositide-3-kinase/serine threonine kinase( PI3K/Akt)wortmannin, and [D-Lys3]GHRP-6 for 24 h. NO production was compared among groups. HUVECs were pretreated with ghrelin,PD98059, wortmannin, and [D-Lys3]GHRP-6 for 2 h and co-cultured with 10-6mol/L AngⅡfor 24 h,or pretreated with ghrelin plus PD98059, wortmannin, and [D-Lys3]GHRP-6 before incubation with AngⅡfor 24 h. NO was measured in the endothelial cell supernatants by Griess method. (4)HUVECs were cultivated with blank or AngⅡwith or without pretreatment with ghrelin or both ghrelin and wortmannin. The protein expression of eNOS and phospho-protein expression of Akt were measured by Western blot analysis. Results AngⅡinjuried the endothelial cell vitality,increased the cell apoptosis rates in HUVECs, and decreased NO production in HUVEC supernatants,whereas ghrelin protected HUVECs from AngⅡ injury. Ghrelin decreased the reactive oxygen species in HUVECs induced by AngⅡ. The effect could be attenuated by [D-Lys3]GHRP-6 pretreatment; PD98059 alleviated AngⅡ inhibition of NO production in HUVEC supernatants. Wortmannin and [D-Lys3]GHRP-6 could abolish protection of ghrelin from reducing NO production in HUVEC supernatants. AngⅡreduced the expression of eNOS,but ghrelin increased eNOS expression. Wortmannin could cancel this effect of ghrelin. Ghrelin increased p-Akt expression and reached the peak in 10 and 20 min. Conclusion Ghrelin may protect HUVECs from AngⅡinduced injury, which is related to decreasing oxidative stress, increasing the protein expression of eNOS, and activating PI3K/Akt signal pathway through GHSR1a receptor.

Objective: To investigate the function and mechanism of phospholipase Cγ1 (PLCγ1) in cell-matrix adhesion in colorectal cancer. Methods: Highly metastatic colorectal cancer cell line LoVo and lowly metastatic colorectal cancer cell line SW480 were subjected to cell-matrix adhesion assay. U73122 (a specific inhibitor of PLC) and pyrrolidine dithiocarbamate (PDTC) (an inhibitor of NF-κB) were used to study the effect of PLCγ1 and NF-κB on cell-matrix adhesion. Furthermore, Western blot and gel electrophoresis mobility shift assay (EMSA) were performed to detect the mechanism of PLCγ1 in colorectal cancer cell adhesion to matrix. Results: Inhibition of PLCγ1 or NF-κB resulted in reduction of cell-matrix adhesion in a dose-dependent manner in LoVo cells(P<0.05), but had no marked effect on SW480 cells. Western blot analysis showed that epidermal growth factor (EGF) stimulated the phosphorylation of PLCγ1 in LoVo. The results of EMSA indicated that inhibition of PLCγ1 signaling pathway also down-regulated the activity of NF-κB while EGF reversed the function. Conclusion:These data suggest that PLCγ1 plays a pivotal role in the EGF-induced cell-matrix adhesion of highly metastatic colorectal cancer cells and that NF-κB is also functional in this signaling pathway.

The expression of VEGFRI in SHI-1 cell were (6.40±3.11) % in 24 h and (6.45±2.85) % in 48 h. The expression of VEGFR2 in SHI-1 cell were (13.90±2.26) % in 24 h and (13.95±1.96) % in 48 h. With artesunate at 5, 10, 20 ng/ml, the concentration of VEGF in culture supematant of SHI-1 cell were (234.6±1.8)pg/ml, (114.9±1.6)pg/ml, (108.8±1.5) pg/ml in 24 h and (62.3±1.7) pg/ml, (60.9±1.6) pg/ml, (32.7±1.7) pg/ml in 48 h, respectively. The levels of VEGF in SHI-1 cells treated with artesunate at different concentrations decreased significantly (P <0.05).There was significant difference between 24 hours group and 48 hours group(P <0.05).The expression of VEGFR1 in SHI-1 cell were (4.30±2.21) %, (4.20±1.37) %, (3.90±1.86) % in 24 h and (3.80±2.87) %, (3.60±1.73) %, (3.00±1.82) % in 48 h, respectively. The expression of VEGFR1 in SHI-1 cell treated with artesunate at different concentrations were not significantly different (P >0.05). No significant difference between 24 hours group and 48 hours group was observed (P >0.05). VEGFR2 expression of SHI-1 cell were(4.40±1.15) %, (3.10±0.68) %, (1.10±0.72) % in 24 h and (3.00±1.68) %, (2.20±0.93) %, (0.60±0.92) % in 48 h, respectively. The results indicated that the expression of VEGFR2 in SHI-1 cells treated with artesunate at different concentrations reduced significantly (P <0.05),but there was no significant difference between 24 h group and 48 h group (P >0.05). ConclusionThe concentration of VEGF in SHI-1 cell was high, and artesunate can down-regulate the expression of VEGF and VEGFR2,but the effect of artesunate on the VEGFR1 was not significant.

Background and purpose: Adequate tissue ifxation, transparent dewaxing is an important step of hematoxylin eosin (HE) staining and lfuorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) in detection of breast cancerHER-2 gene. The purpose of this study was to make a comparison between poly hydroxyl acrylic acid which is an environmen-tally friendly ifxation liquid and 4% neutral buffered formaldehyde in tissue ifxation for HE staining and FISH to detect theHER-2 gene in the breast cancer tissue sections. The study aimed to evaluate the feasibility of replacing 4% buffered formaldehyde, a traditional ifxation liquid, with the poly hydroxyl acrylic acid, an environmentally friendly ifxation lfuid.Methods:This project was performed on tissue samples collected from 69 cases of breast cancer, 41 cases of breast ifbroadenoma, 40 cases of uterine leiomyoma, 25 cases of cervical tissue, 25 cases of placenta obtained from the outpatient and inpatient departments of Zhongshan Boai Hospital from Mar. 2011 to Jan. 2015, from each of which two samples were drawn and two blocks of each specimen were divided into two groups randomly. Then one group was ifxed with 4% neutral buffered formaldehyde and made into 200 sections by HE while the other group was ifxed with poly hydroxyl acrylic acid and made into another 200 sections. The slice level of the two groups was determined by the staining condition of the sections, and SPSS 19.0 was employed to compare the excellent and good rate of HE staining. Additional 69 sections were produced with two groups of breast invasive ductal carcinoma tissues, and SPSS 19.0 was used to detect the ampliifcation ofHER-2 gene by FISH.Results:First, the number of best-quality slices stained with HE ifxed separately by poly hydroxyl acrylic acid and 4% neutral buffered formaldehyde was 155 and 166, respectively. The number of excellent pieces was 41 and 33, respectively, while the number of mediocre pieces was 3 and 1 with bad pieces being 1 and 0, respectively. The excellent and good rates of HE staining were 98% and 99.5%, respectively. There was no significant difference between the two groups (χ2=1.33,P>0.05).Second, the positive rates of the tis-sue slices by FISH ifxed separately by poly hydroxyl acrylic acid and 4% neutral buffered were 26.09% and 23.19%, respectively. There was no signiifcant difference between the two groups (χ2=0.50,P>0.05).Conclusion:The results obtained with HE staining and FISH using poly hydroxyl acrylic acid as a ifxation liquid are not signiifcantly different from those using 10% neutral buffered formaldehyde. Therefore, poly hydroxyl acrylic acid meets the requirements of environmental protection, and thus has the potential to be promoted and widely used.
