The anti-inflammatory and antibacterial mechanisms of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) ameliorating lung injury in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) mice induced by cigarette smoke and Haemophilus Parainfluenza (HPi) were studied.The experiment was divided into four groups in vivo:control group,COPD group,COPD+HPi group,and COPD+HPi+MSCs group.The indexes of emphysematous changes,inflammatory reaction and lung injury score,and antibacterial effects were evaluated in all groups.As compared with control group,emphysematous changes were significantly aggravated in COPD group,COPD+HPi group and COPD+HPi+MSCs group (P<0.01),the expression of necrosis factor-kappaB (NF-κB) signal pathway and proinflammatory cytokines in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) were increased (P<0.01),and the phagocytic activity of alveolar macrophages was downregulated (P<0.01).As compared with COPD group,lung injury score,inflammatory cells and proinflammatory cytokines were significantly increased in the BALF of COPD+HPi group and COPD+HPi+MSCs group (P<0.01).As compared with COPD+HPi group,the expression of tumor necrosis factor-α stimulated protein/gene 6 (TSG-6) was increased,the NF-κB signal pathway was depressed,proinflammatory cytokine was significantly reduced,the anti-inflammatory cytokine IL-10 was increased,and lung injury score was significantly reduced in COPD+HPi+MSCs group.Meanwhile,the phagocytic activity of alveolar macrophages was significantly enhanced and bacterial counts in the lung were decreased.The results indicated cigarette smoke caused emphysematous changes in mice and the phagocytic activity of alveolar macrophages was decreased.The lung injury of acute exacerbation of COPD mice induced by cigarette smoke and HPi was alleviated through MSCs transplantation,which may be attributed to the fact that MSCs could promote macrophages into anti-inflammatory phenotype through secreting TSG-6,inhibit NF-κB signaling pathway,and reduce inflammatory response through reducing proinflammatory cytokines and promoting the expression of the anti-inflammatory cytokine.Simultaneously,MSCs could enhance phagocytic activity of macrophages and bacterial clearance.Meanwhile,we detected anti-inflammatory and antibacterial activity of macrophages regulated by MSCs in vitro.As compared with RAW264.7+HPi+CSE group,the expression of NF-κB p65,IL-1β,IL-6 and TNF-α was significantly reduced,and the phagocytic activity of macrophages was significantly increased in RAW264.7+HPi+CSE+MSCs group (P<0.01).The result indicated the macrophages co-cultured with MSCs may inhibit NF-κB signaling pathway and promote phagocytosis by paracrine mechanism.

Objective To study the characteristics of clustering of cardiovascular risk factors in patients less than 50 years-old of premature stable coronary heart disease(PSCHD)complicated with nonalcoholic fatty liver(NAFL).Methods One hundred and six patients with documented PSCHD were recruited into this study and their clinical data,including biochemical parameters,high-sensitivity C-reactive protein(hsCRP),white blood cell(WBC)count,ete.,were analyzed based on whether they had NAFL by B-type ultrasound scanning and their homeostasis model assessment ratio(Homa-IR)by the criteria for metabolic syndrome formulated by the International Diabetes Federation.Results Thirty-two (30.1percent)of 106 patients of PSCHD complicated with NAFL,and 74(69.9 percent)without NAFL. As compared to patients without NAFL,patients with NAFL had higher fasting blood glucose(FBS),serum level of insulin(INS),total cholesterol(TC),triglyceride(TG),serum activity of alanine aminotransferase(ALT),hsCRP,WBC count,body mass index(BMI),Homa-IR,and higher proportion of those with abnormal blood glucose,hypertension.metabolic syndrome(MS)and carotid atherosclerosis (CA)(P<0.05),respectively.Bi-variate correlation analysis revealed that hsCRP positively correlated to BMI,TG,ALT and Homa IR(r=0.420,P=0.000;r=0.200,P=0.040;r=0.218,P=0.048:and r=0.546,P=0.000,respectively)and inversely correlated with serum level of high-density lipoprotein cholesterol(HDL-C)(r=-0.220,P=0.023).WBC count positively correlated with FBS(r=0.211,P=0.030).BMI,hsCRP,ALT,and proportions of hypertension,diabetes,MS,NAFL and CA in patients with Homa-IR above median were significantly higher than those in patients with that below median ( P<0.05,respectively).Conclusions More risk faetors for chronic inflammatory reaction,cardiovascular disease and insulin resistance were clustered more obviously in patients of PSCHD complicated with NAFL.

The chemical consitituents from cytotoxic fraction of the Callicarpa nudiflora extract were isolated and purified by a combination of HP-20 macroporous resin, silica gel and Sephadex LH-20 column chromatographies. The structures were elucidated on the basis of the spectroscopic data and comparison of their spectroscopic data with reported data. The cytotoxicity was evaluated by the MTT assay. The 50% and 70% EtOH elutions of EtOH-extract showed significant cytotoxic activities, leading to the isolation of twelve compounds, which were identified as luteoloside(1), lutedin-4'-O-β-D-glucoside(2), 6-hydroxyluteolin-7-O-β-glucoside(3), lutedin-7-O-neohesperidoside(4), rhoifolin (5), luteolin-7, 4'-di-O-glucoside (6), forsythoside B (7), acteoside (8), alyssonoside (9), catalpol(10), nudifloside(11), and leonuride(12). Compounds 3-6, 10 and 12 were isolated from this genus for the first time, and compound 9 was isolated from this plant for the first time. The cytotoxicity assay demonstrated that flavonoids 1-6, in various concentrations, showed monolithic proliferation inhibitory activities against Hela, A549 and MCF-7 cell lines. Compounds 3, 5 and iridoid glycoside 11 possessed higher cytotoxicacivities. In short, flavonoids are the main components of cytotoxic extract from C. nudiflora, while phenylethanoid glycosides are the predominant ingredient but inactive to cancer cell lines. In addition, the minor iridoid glycoside expressed weak cytotoxic activity.

Journal of Shanghai Jiaotong University(Medical Science) 2020;40(6):842-846
Objective • To evaluate the changes of urinary angiotensinogen (UAGT), fibroblast-specific protein-1 (FSP-1) and thrombin in the children with Henoch-Schonlein purpura nephritis (HSPN). Methods • Fourteen children with HSPN (HSPN group), 28 children with Henoch-Schonlein purpura (HSP) but without renal injury (HSP group) and 23 children with normal urinalysis (control group) were included in the study. Ten HSPN children before treatment (untreated group), 9 HSPN children after glucocorticoid (GC) pulse therapy (GC group) and 8 HSPN children after GC and cyclophosphamide (CTX) double pulse therapy (GC+CTX group) were also selected in the study. Clinical information and fresh morning urine samples were collected from all the children. UAGT, FSP-1 and thrombin in urine were measured by kits. Urine creatinine (Ucr) was also measured for correction. Results • UAGT/ Ucr and FSP-1 in HSPN group were significantly higher than those in HSP group and control group (P<0.05). Thrombin in HSPN group had no significant difference, compared with HSP group (P>0.05), but thrombin levels in HSPN group and HSP group were both significantly higher than that in control group (P<0.05). UAGT/Ucr in HSPN untreated group had no significant difference, compared with GC group, while it was significantly higher than that in GC+CTX group (P=0.000). FSP-1 in untreated group was significantly higher than that in GC group, but had no significant difference, compared with GC+CTX group. There was no significant difference in thrombin among the 3 HSPN groups. Conclusion • UAGT/Ucr, FSP-1 and thrombin all increase in the urine of HSPN children, and UAGT/Ucr and FSP-1 may reflect the treatment effect to some extent. [Key words]
