Objective To study the effects of Lentinan on bleomycin A5’s inhibition effects in hemangioma-derived endothelial cell. Methods Hemangioma-derived endothelial cell line EOMA were divided into LTN group (only lentinan treatment), BLE group (only bleomycin A 5 treatment), L+B group (Lentinan and bleomycin A5 treatment) and CON group (no lentinan and bleomycin A5 treatment). Cell proliferation, cell cycle, PI and apoptosis were detected and compared among four groups. Results The differences of absorbance in LBE group was significantly higher than that in L+B group after treatment for d 1-d 7 (P<0.05), but both of them were significantly lower than in CON group and LTN group (P<0.05). The G 0/G 1 stage and apoptosis rate in L+B group was significantly higher than in BLE group(P<0.05), while it was significantly lower in S stage, G 2/M stage and PI(P<0.05). Conclusion Lentinan could significantly promote bleomycin A5’s inhibition effects on hemangioma-derived endothelial cell.

Objective To explore the molecular effect and interaction among nephrin, podocin, CD2AP and ?-actinin-4. Methods Firstly, the recombinant RNA interference (RNAi) plasmid-psiRNA-hH1GFPzeo, specifically targeting to the mRNA of nephrin, podocin, CD2AP or ?-actinin-4, was respectively tansfected into the mouse podocyte clone (MPC5) to each knockdown (KD) the expression of nephrin, podocin, CD2AP or ?-actinin-4. Molecular distributions were revealed by confocal microscopy, and the mRNA and protein expressions were detected with semi-quantitative RT-PCR and Western blotting. Results (1)In podocin KD group (siPod966 and siPod54), the mRNAs of podocin and nephrin were not detected, their protein decreased 92% and 79%, 82% and 67%, respectively. The mRNA and protein level of CD2AP increased 62% and 42%, 71% and 46%, respectively, whereas ?-actinin-4 did not change. In nephrin KD group (siNep492), the mRNA expression and protein level of nephrin were not detected, CD2AP increased 35% and 48%, respectively; and whereas podocin and ?-actinin-4 did not change. In CD2AP KD group (siCda744 and siCda21), the mRNA of expression CD2AP was not detected, and its protein level decreased 92% and 83%, the mRNA and protein of nephrin decreased 60% and 48%, 76% and 72%, respectively; podocin increased 38% and 22%, 56% and 44%, respectively; whereas ?-actinin-4 did not change. In ?-actinin-4 KD group (siAct1790 and siAct319), the mRNAs expression of ?-actinin-4 and nephrin decreased 69% and 58%, 64% and 49%, respectively; their protein level decreased 81% and 55%, 71% and 64%, respectively. However, the mRNAs of podocin and CD2AP increased 50% and 34%, 45% and 28%, respectively; and their protein level increased 64% and 46%, 65% and 42%, respectively. (2) With their expression change, the distributions of nephrin, podocin and CD2AP shifted evidently from the cell membrane surface to the nucleus circumference, whereas ?-actinin-4 showed no change, which was still localized in the cytoplasm and further extended to foot processes. Conclusion (1) Nephrin might more independently play a crucial role in the slit diaphragm complex. (2) Alpha-actinin-4 might interact direcdy or indirectly with nephrin, podocin and CD2AP. (3) The relationship among these podocyte molecules might not be spontaneous, either a single-directional or bi-directional reaction. (4) The normal localization of these podocyte molecules might depend on their normal expression quantity.
