Academic Journal of Second Military Medical University 2010;29(11):1337-1340
Objective: To observe the effects of 1-methyl-4-phenyl-1, 2, 3, 6-tetrahydropyridine (MPTP) on the spatial learning ability/memory and dopaminergic neurons in the Nigra of senescence accelerated-prone 8 (SAMP8) mice. Methods: Three-month old male SAMP8 mice were injected with MPTP (36 mg/ kg,s. c.) for 5 days,and animals in the control group were injected with NS (36 ml/kg, s. c.) in the same manner. Morris water maze was used to examine the searching strategy, seeking-platform latency,and the swimming time in the aimed quadrant. Immunohistochemistry was used to observe the changes of TH-ir positive neurons in substantia nigra. Results: The number of TH-ir neurons in substantia nigra pars compacta was significantly reduced in MPTP group compared with the control group(P<0.01). Morris water maze showed that the searching strategy of animals in MPTP group was worse than in the control group, with the seeking-platform latency of MPTP mice significantly prolonged (P<0.01), the time spent in the aimed quadrant significantly decreased (P<0.01) and time in the opposite quadrant significantly prolonged (P<0.05). Conclusion: MPTP can cause damage to the dopaminergic neurons in the substantia nigra of SAMP8 mice,which is subsequently followed by deficit in the spatial learning and memory in the animals.

Objective To observe the levels of Ang - 1 and NF-κB in lung tissue and to aseess the severity of ALI induced by phosgene in order to clarify the mechanism of the protective effect of Ang - 1 on phosgene induced ALI.Method Rats were randomly divided into phosgene group and air group.Another rats were randomly (random number) divided into phosgene group,phosgene + PDTC group and air group.Lung tissue was collected to weigh and calculate the wet / dry weight ratio,measure BALF,white blood cell count,total protein and Ang-1 at given time after exposure to phosgene/air and PDTC.The Ang - 1 and NF-κB levels in lung tissue were measured with Western blot and immunohistochemistry.Data were analyzed by using SPSS 16.0 statistical package and comparisons between groups were carried out byusing One-Way ANOVA analysis and LSD -t test,α < 0.05.Results Serum angiopoietin -1 level became lesser within 48 hours after exposure to Phosgene.The severity of ALI became worser with time elapsing.Ccompare with air group,the severity of ALI in phosgene group was worser with time elapsing ( P < 0.05).Compared with phosgene + PDTC group,the serum angiopoietin -1 and arterial oxygen partial pressure in phosgene group were lower ( P < 0.05).The severity of ALI of rats in phosgene group were worser than that in phosgene + PDTC group ( P < 0.05).Serum angiopoietin -1 and partial pressure of oxygen of rats in phosgene group were higher than those in phosgene + PDTC group ( P < 0.05).Immunohistochemistry test showed that the expression of Ang-1 in lung tissue in air group were normal,and Ang-1 in phosgene group were significantly reduced,and Ang-1 in PDTC intervention group was higher than that in phosgene group and lower than that in air group.The above results were confirmed by Western blot test which was consistent with the results of immunohistochemistry test.Similarly,the levels of NF-κB in lung tissue determined by using both Western - blot and immunohistochemistry were consistant,and results of both methods showed that the expression of NF - κB in air group was normal,and it increased in phosgene group,and the expression of NF-κB in phosgene + PDTC group was lower than that in phosgene group.Conclusions The serum level of Ang-1 was decreasing within 48 hours after ALI.Ang-1 was negatively correlated with the sevfity of phosgene induced ALI.Ang-1 likely had an effect on NF-κB signaling pathway,ameliorating the inflammation mediated by cytokines,reducing lung endothelial permeability and in turn lessening the severity of ALI.

Journal of Applied Clinical Pediatrics 2004;0(07):-
Objective To construct mouse granulocyte-macrophage colony stimulating factor (mGM-CSF) gene eukaryotic expressing plasmid pcDNA3-GM-CSF, to transfect the recombinant into erythroleukemia cell line FBL-3, and identify their biological activity.Methods GM-CSF gene eukaryotic expressing plasmid was constructed by subclone and recombinant was transfected into FBL-3 cells by electroporation. After screening by G418 and cloning by limiting dilution,we obtained positive cell clones(FBL-3-GM-CSF). PCR and RT-PCR were used to identify the integration and stable expression of GM-SF gene in FBL-3-GM-CSF cells. The biological activity was confirmed by the hematopoietic progenitor cell proliferative assay and hematopoietic progenitor cell colony formation assay. Results Mouse GM-CSF cDNA was amplified from the prokaryotic expressing plasmid PET-30a(+)-GM-CSF by PCR firstly and BamH Ⅰ and EcoRⅠrestriction sites were introduced. The inserted fragment was cut by BamH Ⅰ and EcoR Ⅰ digestion and ligated into pcDNA3 vector. The pcDNA3-GM-CSF eukaryotic expressing plasmid was constructed. The recombinant was cleared with appropriate endoneucleases and sequenced. The findings showed that the orientation of the insert was correct, while no rearrangement or mutation was found. PCR and RT-PCR assay showed that GM-CSF gene had integrated into FBL-3-GM-CSF cells and stably expressed. The hematopoietic progenitor cell proliferative assay and hematopoietic progenitor cell colony formation assay demonstrated that the cultured supernatant of FBL-3-GM-CSF cells of expressing GM-CSF should obviously stimulate proliferation of murine marrow mononuclear cells, and could stimulate hematopoietic progenitor cell colony formation. The number of colony formation was 54.67?4.83. The rate of colony formation was 0.547 %.Conclusions GM-CSF gene eukaryotic expressing plasmid is constructed successfully. A cell clone, which can express stably GM-CSF gene and possess biological activity,is obtained. Our studies have founded the base for the preparation of GM-CSF gene-modified vaccine of tumor cell and the study of feasibility of immune therapy of leukemia.
