Aim To investigate whether melatonin ( MT) can alleviate endoplasmic reticulum( ER) stress at an early stage of bleomycin( BLM)-induced lung fi-brosis in mice. Methods Adult healthy male ICR mice were divided randomly into control group, MT group, BLM group and MT + BLM group. In MT group, mice had saline treatment 30 minutes after hav-ing the intraperitoneal injection of MT (10 mg·kg-1 ) and had been intraperitoneally injected with MT once in the following every 24 hours. In BLM group, mice were intratracheally injected with a single dose of BLM (5 mg·kg-1). In MT+BLM group, mice had been intraperitoneally injected with BLM 30 minutes after having MT and had been injected with MT once in the following every 24 hours. In control group, mice re-ceived the same level of saline treatment in the same manner. All mice were dissected for collecting the tis-sue of lungs at different time points (24h, 72h) after BLM treatment. Inflammatory cell infiltration of lungs was determined by HE staining. The level of ER stress related proteins ( GRP78 , p-eIF2α, p-IRE1α) in lungs was determined using Western blot. The distribu-tion of ER stress related proteins ( GRP78 , p-IRE1α, ATF6α, p-PERK) in lungs was detected by immuno-histochemistry. Results The model of BLM-induced acute inflammation of lung fibrosis in mice had been successfully constructed. After BLM treatment, lung weight, lung weight ratio and inflammatory cell infiltra-tion were significantly increased with a significant cor-relation between time and effectiveness. After MT treatment, lung weight, lung weight ratio and inflam-matory cell infiltration were significantly reduced. The results of Western blot showed that MT pretreatment not only prevented the increase of BLM-induced GRP78 protein significantly, but also restrained the phosphorylation of eIF2α and IRE1α in mouse lungs. Immunohistochemistry also showed that MT pretreat-ment reduced the expression of GRP78 , p-IRE1α, ATF6α and p-PERK. Conclusion MT alleviates ER stress effectively at an early stage of BLM-induced lung fibrosis in mice.

Objective Antiangiogenesis therapy has been shown to prolong survival for patients with malignant tumor .However the present study has not been observed the clinical benefit of antiangiogenesis therapy combination with chemotherapy treated with gastric canc-er.Human recombinant vascular endothelial inhibition (endostar) as a multi-targeted anti-angiogenesis drug, the mechanism is different from other Antiangiogenesis drugs.It can block different pathways of signal transduction to inhibit angiogenesis .This study aimed to observe the effect of combined application of endostar and paclitaxel on biological behavior of gastric cancer cell lines . Methods MMT assay and Tr-answell invasion assay were respectively used to examine the inhibition rate of cell growth and invasion ability when cells were treated with va-rious concentrations of endostar and paclitaxel alone or in combination.The protein expressions of VEGF,MMP-2 and MMP-9 were examined by Western blot. Results Endostar or paclitaxel effectively inhibited the growth of MGC803 cells and the in vitro invasion of MGC803 cells in a concentration-dependent manner.The proliferation and invasion ability of combined treatment with endostar and paclitaxel was significantly lower than that of endostar or paclitaxel alone (P<0.05).Compared with con-trol group, the VEGF,MMP-2 and MMP-9 protein expressions were de-creased in experimental groups ( P <0.05).Compared with paclitaxel group, the VEGF, MMP-2 and MMP-9 protein expressions were relatively reduced in combination groups (P<0.05). Conclusion Endostar combined with paclitaxel can suppress the growth and invasion of MGC803 cells, and the decreasing VEGF , MMP-2 and MMP-9 expressions may be involved in the mechanism .
