1. The protective effect of geranylgeranylacetone-induced heat shock protein 70 on radiation-induced lung injury in mice
Tumor 2012;32(12):955-961
Objective: To study whether the expression of heat shock protein 70 (HSP70) in lung tissue induced by GGA (geranylgeranylacetone) has a protective effect on radiation-induced lung injury in mice and its possible mechanism. Methods: One hundred and four health KM mice were randomly divided into control group, GGA group, radiation group and GGA combined with radiation group. Of GGA group and the GGA combined with radiation group before irradiation, the mice were pretreated with GGA at a dose of 600 mg·kg-1·d -1 for 3 d, while the mice of the control and the radiation groups were given 0.9% sodium chloride solution. Then the mice in the radiation group and the GGA combined with radiation group received whole-lung irradiation with X-ray at a single fraction of 20 Gy, while the mice of the other two groups received sham-irradiation. After irradiation, all the mice continued receiving treatment until the appropriate time points for detection. The expressions of HSP70 mRNA and TNF-α (tumor necrosis factor alpha) mRNA in lung tissues were detected by RT-PCR at day 1 and day 3 after irradiation. The positive cells and the distribution of HSP70 proteins were evaluated by immunohistochemistry at day 1 after irradiation. The morphological changes of lung tissues were observed by hematoxylin and eosin staining at day 3 and day 60 after irradiation. The pulmonary fibrosis severity was evaluated by Masson's trichrome staining and hydroxyproline content at day 60. The serum TGF-β1 (transforming growth factor- beta1) level at each time point was measured by ELISA. Results: The typical early stage radiation pneumonitis and the late pulmonary fibrosis were observed in mice in the radiation group. In mice treated by GGA and radiation, HSP70 expression level of the lung tissues was higher than that in the control group or the radiation group. TNF-α mRNA level, serum TGF-β1 level, the severities of radiation pneumonitis and pulmonary fibrosis, and the content of hydroxyproline in the GGA combined with radiation group were lower than those in the radiation group (P < 0.05). There was no significant difference between the GGA group and the control group for all indices. Conclusion: The expression of HSP70 in mice lung tissues induced by regular oral administration of GGA can protect against radiationinduced lung injury, which may be related to the inhibition of expressions of important inflammatory factor TNF-α and fibrosis-related factor TGF-β1.

Chinese Journal of Tissue Engineering Research 2015;(14):2144-2148
BACKGROUND:Platelet-rich plasma contains a variety of stimulating factors, and can also raise the proteoglycan and col agen synthesis. OBJECTIVE:To observe the effect of platelet-rich plasma on the proliferation of goat bone marrow mesenchymal stem cel s. METHODS:Blood samples were extracted from the jugular vein of Inner Mongolia Ximeng goats to harvest platelet-rich plasma using centrifugation method. Then, bone marrow was extracted from the goat’s ilium by puncture method to isolate and purify goat bone marrow mesechymal stem cel s using density gradient centrifugation method. After that, primary cel s at good state were cultured in L-DMEM complete medium containing 10%, 20%, 30%platelet-rich plasma or in simple L-DMEM complete medium. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Within 2-6 days of culture, cel s in the platelet-rich plasma groups proliferated faster than those in the control group, and with the increasing of platelet-rich plasma concentration, the cel s grew faster, with larger number and more mature morphology. At 4 days of culture, the cel doubling time was about 50, 35, 25 hours in the 10%, 20%, and 30%platelet-rich plasma groups, respectively. These findings indicate that goat platelet-rich plasma can dramatical y promote the proliferation of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cel s in a concentration-dependent manner.
