This study was aimed to observe the effects of Gui Curcuma extract on proliferation, collagen production, and matrix metalloproteinase (MMP) expression by hepatic stellate cells (HSC-LX2). HSC-LX2 were cultured in DMEM broth (10% FBS), then treated with Gui Curcuma extract (with the concentration of 0, 22.5, 45, 90 μmol·L-1) for 24 h. The proliferation of HSC-LX2 was measured by MTT assay; injury in HSC-LX2 was indicated with LDH re-lease; collagen I production was detected by ELISA; and MMP-l expression was determined by Western blot. The re-sults showed that Gui Curcuma extract (with the concentration of 22.5, 45, 90 μmol·L-1) dose-dependently inhibited proliferation of HSC-LX2 by 16.2%, 43.9%, 59.4% in MTT assay, respectively. The IC50 was 59.1 μmol·L-1. There was no significant impact on LDH release. The Gui Curcuma extract (with the concentration of 45, 90 μmol·L-1) can significantly reduce the expression of collagen I level (P< 0.01), whereas MMP-1 expression was significantly uplift-ed (P< 0.05) by Gui Curcuma extract (with the concentration of 45, 90 μmol·L-1) in Western blot. It was concluded that Gui Curcuma extract had the potential to prevent hepatic fibrosis, through inhibiting proliferation and collagen I production, and increasing MMP-1 protein expression.

[ ABSTRACT] AIM:To study the influence of insulin resistance on fatty liver in the mice fed with high-fat diet (HFD).METHODS:Male 8-week-old C57BL/6J mice were randomly divided into HFD group (with 60% calories by high saturated fatty acid) and control group (with chow diet).The mice in both groups were fed for 12 weeks.The body weight, liver weight, serum triglyceride (TG) and total cholesterol (TC), and blood glucose and insulin levels were meas-ured.Hyperinsulinemic euglycemic clamp experiment was applied to reflect insulin sensitivity .The lipid deposition in the liver was analyzed by HE staining , Sudan IV staining and measurement of liver fat content .The phosphorylation levels of IRS1 and Akt, and the protein levels of SREBP-1 and FAS were determined by Western blot to reflect the activities of insu-lin signaling and lipid synthesis .RESULTS:Compared with control group , the body weight and liver weight were signifi-cantly increased in HFD group .TG and TC contents in serum and liver tissues were remarkably increased in HFD group . High-fat diet induced insulin resistance , as evidenced by increased serum insulin levels , reduced glucose infusion rate and decreases in IRS1 and Akt phosphorylation levels .In livers of HFD group, HE staining showed that the cytoplasm of hepa-tocytes was filled with vacuoles .Sudan IV staining also displayed that many different sizes of red lipid drops existed in the hepatocytes , and the protein levels of SREBP-1 and FAS were significantly increased .In primary normal hepatocytes with exogenous oleic acid intervention for 48 h, the phosphorylation levels of IRS 1 and Akt were reduced , and the protein ex-pression of SREBP-1 and FAS was significantly increased in a dose-dependent manner .CONCLUSION: Feeding with HFD leads to insulin resistance , resulting in activation of lipid synthesis and accumulation of lipid deposition in the liver , thus inducing fatty liver .

Objective To investigate and evaluate the changes of PYK2 expression in hippocampal neurons and microglial cells in Kainate acid-induced status epilepticus. Methods Kainate acid-induced status epilepticus was established in rats, and by using immunostaining, changes of PYK2 expression in hippocampal neurons and microglial cells was investigated. Results Expression of PYK2 in hippocampal pyramidal neurons was markedly decreased after kainate acid-induced status epilepticus. However, 24h after the epileptic onset, a pronounced up-regulation of PYK2 and phosphor-PYK2 immunoreactivities were evident in amoeboid microglial cells. The upregulation of PYK2 and phosphor-PYK2 was in accordance with the morphological changes of the activated microglial cells. Conclusion PYK2 was activated in microglial cells after seizure. Furthermore, the activation of PYK2 in microglial cells after seizure might be related to the morphological and behavioral changes of microglial cells after activation.

Objective To investigate and evaluate the changes of phospho PYK2 and phospho p38MAPK expression in neurons after focal cerebral ischemia. Methods Focal ischemia reperfusion model was established in rats, and by using immunostaining, the changes of phospho PYK2 and phospho p38MAPK expression in neurons was observed. Results Faint phospho PYK2 and phospho p38MAPK immunoreactivity were revealed in normal cortical neurons. Fifteen minutes after the ischemia onset, a pronounced upregulation of phospho PYK2 and phospho p38MAPK immunoreactivities were evident in these ischemia attacked neurons. The immunoreactivities of phospho PYK2 and phospho p38MAPK reached its peak at 30min after ischemia, and decreased 60min after ischemia. Conclusion Cerebral ischemia was able to induce neuronal PYK2 phosphorylation. The activation of PYK2 might link ischemia attack to the p38MAPK signaling pathway to initiate the neuronal response to the stress stimuli
