Objective To understand the changes of NKT cells in the livers and spleens of mice infected with Schistosoma japonicum.Methods Twenty-four female BALB/c mice aged 6-8 weeks were randomly divided into 4 groups.Three groups of mice were infected with(14?2)cercariae of S.japonicum.In 3,6 and 12 weeks post-infection,the mice were randomly chosen from each group and sacrificed resectively and the lymphocytes were harvested from the livers and spleens.The cells were stained with fluorescein-isothiocyanate(FITC)-conjugated anti-mouse pan-NK cells(CD49b)and phycoerythrin(PE)anti-mouse CD3e monoclonal antibodies,respectively.The proportion of NKT cells was analyzed by flow cytometry.In the experiment in vitro,the lymphocytes from spleens of normal mice were harvested and stimulated with SEA,the protein constituents of eggs and lipid constituents of eggs,respectively.The proportion of NKT cells was also analyzed by flow cytometry.Results The proprotion of splenic NKT cells in lymphocytes in 12 weeks post-infection was(4.73?0.41)%,which was significantly higher than that of the control(2.07?0.12)%(P

OBJECTIVETo verify the existence and significance of calcium/calmodulin dependent serine protein kinase/inhibitors of differentiation 1 (CASK/Id1) pathway in fibroblasts of human keloid.

METHODSImmunofluorescence laser was used to confirm CASK and Id1 protein expression and localization in fibroblasts of the keloid and normal skin. RT-PCR and Western-blot were adopted to analysis the CASK and Id1 expression and differences between keloid and normal skin fibroblasts. The natural combination of CASK and Id1 protein of keloid fibroblasts was tested by immunoprecipitation.

RESULTSCASK and Id1 protein expression were both found in fibroblast cells of keloid and normal skin under normal circumstances. Most of CASK and Id1 were distributed in the cytoplasm and nucleus of fibroblasts. The results of RT-PCR showed that the expression of CASK mRNA in the keloid group was 0.658 +/- 0.024, which was lower than that in the normal control group (1.076 +/- 0.008, t = 11.159, P < 0.05). The expression of Id1 mRNA was 0.497 +/- 0.014, which was higher than that in the normal control group (0.307 +/- 0.017, t = 15.148, P < 0.05). The results of Western-blot showed that the expression level for CASK protein in the keloid group was 0.057 +/- 0.006, which was lower than that in the normal control group (0.168 +/- 0.012, t = 13.524, P < 0.05); the expression of Id1 protein was 0.812 +/- 0.035, which was higher than that in the normal control group (0.368 +/- 0.031, t = 16.356, P < 0.05). The results of immunoprecipitation showed that Id1 could be detected in the CASK precipitate, while CASK also could be detected in the Id1 precipitate. There was a natural binding of CASK and Id1 in keloid fibroblasts.

CONCLUSIONCASK/Id1 signal pathway may be existed and involved in the proliferation of keloid fibroblasts, which is related with the occurrence of keloid.
