Objective To observe the influence of Qizhi Yifei containing serum on the expression of MMP-9 and TIMP-1 mRNA in lung fibroblasts, and explore its mechanism. Methods Trypsin digestion method was used to extract fibroblasts from lung tissue in rats. All fibroblasts were cultured and trained to the fourth generation. Then they were randomly divided into control group, model group and drug serum group. The model group and drug serum group were firstly treated by DMEM with 0.002 5 μg/mL TGF-β1. The control group was treated by DMEM only. The control group and model group were then treated by DMEM with blank drug serum in concentration of 5%, and the drug serum group was treated by DEME with Qiahi Yifei containing serum in same concentration. After 48 and 72 hours, RT-PCR was performed to test the expression of MMP-9 mRNA and TIMP-1 mRNA of each group. Results After 48 hours, MMP-9 and TIMP-1 mRNA were significantly increased in model group and drug serum group compared with control group. There was no difference between model group and drug serum group. After 72 hours, MMP-9 mRNA was up-regulated in model group and was decreased in drug serum group compared with control group. There was no significant difference among the three groups on the expression of TIMP-1 mRNA. Conclusion Qizhi Yifei containing serum can decrease the up-regulated expression of MMP-9 mRNA in lung fibroblasts stimulated by TGF-β1.

Objective To investigate the changes and significances of peripheral blood CD34,KDR/CD34,CD133/CD34,and CD117/CD34 positive cell levels in patients with hemorrhagic stroke at the acute phase. Methods Thirty patients with acute hemorrhagic stroke admitted to the Department of Neurosurgery, Jiangsu Haimen People’s Hospital from September 2013 to April 2014 were enrolled retrospectively. At the same time,20 healthy subjects were selected as a control group. CD34 +,KDR+ /CD34 +,CD133 + /CD34 +, and CD117 + /CD34 +cell levels in peripheral blood were detected in patients with hemorrhagic stroke at day 1 to day 7 after cerebral hemorrhage and the day of physical examination of the control group using FACSCalibur flow cytometry. The data were obtained and analyzed using CELLQuest software. Results Peripheral blood CD34 + cells and KDR+ /CD34 +, CD133 + /CD34 +, CD117 + /CD34 + cells at day 1 to day 7 after ischemic stroke were all lower than control group (all P<0. 05). CD34 + and CD117 + /CD34 + cells decreased firstly at day 1 and 2, then increased gradually;KDR+ /CD34 + and CD133 + /CD34 + cells increased gradually at day 1 to day 5,they were all reached the peak at day 5,which were (14. 8±3. 5) í105 and (16. 7±3. 3) í105 respectively. Compared with that at day 1,CD34 + cells at day 5 and 6 were (27. 4 ±6. 3) í105 and (25. 4 ±5. 7) í105 respectively;KDR+ /CD34 + and CD133 + /CD34 + cells at day 4,5,and 6 were (10. 2±3. 1) í105,(14. 8±3. 5) í105,(12. 1±3. 4) í105 and (14. 3±3. 6) í105,(16. 7±3. 3) í105,and (13. 1±4. 0) í105,respectively;CD117 + /CD34 + cells at day 5 was (21. 3 ±4. 2) í105,which were all higher than the first day after cerebral hemorrhage (P<0.05). In the CD34 + cells,the proportion of KDR+ /CD34 + cells at day 1 to day 7 all decreased compared with the control group (all P<0. 05);the proportion of CD133 + /CD34 + cells at day 4 was (65±4)%,it was higher than the control group (P<0. 05);the proportion of KDR+ /CD34 + cells at day 5 was (55±6)% compared with day 1;the proportion of CD133 + /CD34 + at day 4 was (65 ±4)%;the proportions of CD117 + /CD34 + cells at day 4 and day 5 were (69 ±6)% and (72 ±6)% respectively,and they all increased (all P <0. 05). Conclusion Peripheral blood CD34 + cells and their cell subsets are change in patients with hemorrhagic stroke in acute phase. Speculating the different cell subsets may have different functions and potential. KDR+ /CD34 + and CD133 + /CD34 + may be the early sensitive indicators of acute hemorrhagic stroke,and CD117 + /CD34 + is largely mobilized in early stage.

Objective To study the effect of pioglitazone on the differentiation and function of rat osteoclast-like cells (OLC), and to probe the relationship between activated PPARγ2 and osteoclasts. Methods On day 1 of OLC formation from nonadherent bone marrow ceils (BMC) obtained from rats induced by M-CSF and receptor activator of NF-кB ligand (RANKL), 1, 5 and 10μmol/L pioglitazone hydrochloride was added. RT- PCR was performed to determine the mRNA expressions of PPARγ2 and receptor activator of NF-кB (RANK) on day 3, 5 and 7 during incubation, the number of tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase (TRAP)-positive cells,the number of bone resorption pits and the ratio of its area on dentin slice were counted, the activity of TRAP and the mean fluorescence intensity of integrin β3 (CD61) of OLC were also measured. Results (1) The effect on the differentiation of OLC: The addition of pioglitazone at the start of the culture period induced a dose-dependent decrease in TRAP-positive OLC and the activity of TRAP (P < 0.01 or P < 0.05) ; the mRNA expression of PPARγ2 was up-regulated by 5 and 10 μmol/L pioglitazone in the early stage of incubation and attenuated with thematuration of OLC on the contrary, however, the expression of RANK was down-regulated by 5 and 10 μmol/L piolitazone in every stage of incubation (P < 0.05 or P < 0.01), combined with decrease in TRAP-positive OLC from day 3 by 10 μmol/L pioglitazone. (2) The effect on the function of OLC: the number of bone resorption pits and the ratio of its area on dentin slice were decreased in groups of 5 and 10 μmol/L pioglitazone (P < 0.01 orP < 0.05), no obvious change was noted in the group with 1 μmol/L pioglitazone compared with the control group; the mean fluorescence intensity of CD61 were down-regulated in groups of 5 and 10 μmol/L pioglitazone (P < 0.05 or P <0.01). Conclusion Activation of PPARγ2 pathway by pioglitazone could partially inhibit differentiation and function of OLC derived from rat BMC.

The Rad1 gene is evolutionarily conserved from yeast to human. The fission yeast Schizosaccharomyces pombe Rad1 ortholog promotes cell survival against DNA damage and is required for G(2)/M checkpoint activation. In this study, mouse embryonic stem (ES) cells with a targeted deletion of Mrad1, the mouse ortholog of this gene, were created to evaluate its function in mammalian cells. Mrad1 (-/-) ES cells were highly sensitive to ultraviolet-light (UV light), hydroxyurea (HU) and gamma rays, and were defective in G(2)/M as well as S/M checkpoints. These data indicate that Mrad1 is required for repairing DNA lesions induced by UV-light, HU and gamma rays, and for mediating G(2)/M and S/M checkpoint controls. We further demonstrated that Mrad1 plays an important role in homologous recombination repair (HRR) in ES cells, but a minor HRR role in differentiated mouse cells.
