This study was aimed to construct eukaryotic expression vectors carrying the small hairpin RNA (shRNA) targeting TRPC6 gene and investigate the effect of TRPC6 knockdown on puromucin aminonucleoside (PAN)-induced podocyte injury. Two DNA sequences containing the small hairpin structure targeting TRPC6 were designed, synthesized and then inserted into the green fluorescence protein (GFP)-contained plasmids (pGC) to establish the plasmids pGCsi-TRPC6A and pGCsi-TRPC6B. Plasmids expressing scrambled shRNA were used as negative control and named pGCsi-NC. These plasmids were transfected into a conditionally immortalized murine podocyte cell line by using liposome. Flow cytometry was used to examine the transfection efficiency. TRPC6 mRNA and protein expression levels were detected by RT-PCR and Western blotting. Cultured podocytes were divided into four groups: control group, PAN treatment group, PAN+TRPC6 shRNA transfected group and PAN+scrambled shRNA transfected group. The paracelluar permeability to BSA was evaluated by Millicell-PCF Inserts and cell viability was measured by the trypan blue assay. Immunofluorescent assay was used to observe the distribution of α-actinin-4 and α-tubulin. The results showed that the transfection efficiency of the shRNA expression vector was about 45%. Expression levels of TRPC6 mRNA and protein were downregulated after transfection with pGCsi-TRPC6A and pGCsi-TRPC6B. Knocking down TRPC6 gene could effectively reverse the PAN-induced increase in the paracelluar permeability to BSA. The distribution of α-actinin-4 and α-tubulin was disrupted after treatment with PAN, which was reversed by knocking down TRPC6 gene. It was concluded that knocking down TRPC6 gene could effectively prevent podocytes from the permeability increase induced by PAN, which may be related to the regulation of podocyte cytoskeleton.

Objective To analyze the multi-component,multi-target and multi-pathway mechanism of peony leaf in the treatment of cervical cancer based on network pharmacology. Methods The possible active components and targets in peony leaf were screened and predicted by pharmacological database and analysis platform of traditional Chinese medicine system,and the related targets of cervical cancer diseases were ob-tained by searching Therapeutic Target Database and others. The potential targets for the disease regulation were screened according to the active components of peony leaves entering blood,then the key target names and the pathways involved in the treatment of peony leaf were selected according to the network topological characteristic parameters. Then,the enrichment analysis was carried out by using ClueGO software plug-in. Results There were 194 target sites for 11 blood entry components in peony leaves. Finally,171 signal pathways were ob-tained,and 21 key pathways related to cervical cancer were obtained after the wide pathway was excluded,such as estrogen signaling pathway,neurotrophin signaling pathway and so on. Conclusion Peony leaves may play a vital role in the treatment of cervical cancer by acting on inflammatory,metabolic,immunological,endocrine and cell cycle related protein targets and pathways.

Objective To investigate the correlation between EBV-LMP2-specific cell responses,EBV DNA copies and titers of IgA antibody to viral capsid antigen (IgA/VCA).Methods IgA/VCA antibody were tested with immune-enzyme method.Both of plasma and lymphocytes were respectively separated from IgA/VCA-positive individuals and patients with nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) without treatment.EBV DNA copies and LMP2-specific cell responses were detected by interferon-gamma Elispots assay and fluorescent quantitative PCR method.Results IgA/VCA antibody in 80 of 1 233 individuals was positive in Cangwu county,and the positive rate is 6％.EBV-LMP2-specific cell responses and EBV DNA copies were detected in 72 of 80 IgA/VCA positive individuals and patients with NPC.EBV DNA copies in plasma were increased with rise of titers of IgA/VCA antibody,while EBV-LMP2-specific cell responses were declined.Conclusion EBV-LMP2-specific cell responses and EBV DNA copies are probably associated with titers of IgA/VCA antibody.

Objective:To investigate whether stress hyperglycemia (SH) is an independent risk factor for the occurrence and mortality of sepsis-associated encephalopathy (SAE).Methods:From August 2016 to October 2021, sepsis patients admitted to the ICU of Guangdong Provincial People's Hospital were selected as the study subjects. According to whether they developed to SH (RBG>11.1 mmol/L) within 7 days of enrollment, the pat ients were divided into the SH group and the non-SH group for analysis. Logistic regression was used to analyze whether SH was an independent risk factor for SAE occurrence, and ROC curve was used to analyze the predictive value of SH to SAE. Kaplan-Meier curve was used to compare the 90-day survival of SAE patients with or without SH. Cox regression analysis was used to analyze the risk factors of 28-day and 90-day death in SAE patients.Results:A total of 183 sepsis patients were included, including 62 patients in the SH group and 121 in the non-SH group. Logistic regression analysis demonstrated that SH was an independent risk factor for SAE ( OR=4.452, 95% CI: 2.021-9.808, P <0.001). ROC curve demonstrated that SH could accurately predict SAE (AUC=0.831; Sensitivity=78.4%; Specificity=76.8%; and Yoden index=0.553). Kaplan-Meier curve demonstrated that the 90-day survival of SAE patients with SH significantly declined (log-rank test: P<0.01). Cox regression analysis suggested that SH was a risk factor for death at day 28 and day 90 in SAE patients (28 d, HR=2.272, 95% CI: 1.212-4.260, P=0.010; 90 d, HR=2.456, 95% CI: 1.400-4.306, P<0.01). Conclusions:SH is an independent risk factor for SAE and can predict SAE occurrence. SH significantly reduces 90-day survival and increase mortality at 28 and 90 days in SAE patients.
