The objective of this study was to construct an improved thioredoxin fusion protein expression system, and express the cathelicidin-derived peptide, Lf-CATH2. The improved fusion vector Lf-CATH2-pET32α(-TS) was successfully constructed by firstly deleting the thrombin site and S tag from the pET-32α vector, then inserting the Lf-CATH2 plus a thrombin site instead. Afterwards, Lf-CATH2 was expressed in Escherichia coli as fusion protein. After the cleavage by thrombin, Lf-CATH2 was released and subsequently separated using affinity chromatography. The antimicrobial activity of purified Lf-CATH2 was also examined. The improved expression vector significantly increased enzyme cleavage efficiency by 37%, and Lf-CATH2 could be expressed in high yield and maintain the biological activity. This novel thioredoxin fusion protein expression system enables a quick production of high-yield bioactive cationic peptides like cathelicidins.

Objective To observe the influence of several kinase pathways such as extracellular signal-regulated kinase ( ERK) , and mitogen-activated protein kinase p38 ( p38MAPK) on nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 (Nrf2) pathway activated by Fructus Schisandrae extracts (FSE) . Methods HepG2 cells were treated by FSE for 24 hours after pretreatment with protein kinase inhibitors for 2 hours. The mRNA expression levels of Nrf2 and downstream target genes heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1), NAD (P) H quinine oxidoreductase 1(NQO1), P-glycoprotein ( P-gp) and multidrug resistance-associated protein 2 ( MRP2) were detected by real-time polymerase chain reaction ( RT-PCR) , and their protein expression levels and Nrf2 nuclear translocation were measured by Western blotting method. Results RT-PCR results showed that the mRNA expression levels of HO-1, NQO1, P-gp and MRP2 activated by FSE in HepG2 cells were inhibited by PD98059, SB203580 and Rottlerin, and the mRNA expression of Nrf2 was suppressed only by SB203580 and Rottlerin. Western blotting results showed that the mRNA expression levels of HO-1 and P-gp activated by SCE in HepG2 cells were inhibited by PD98059, SB203580 and Rottlerin. In addition, the protein expression of Nrf2 in HepG2 cytoplasm was increased by the above three inhibitors, and nuclear translocation of Nrf2 was inhibited by PD98059 and SB203580. Conclusion The mechanism of FSE activating Nrf2 pathway may be associated with the increase of Nrf2 nuclear translocation through the direct phosphorylation of Nrf2 induced by ERK and p38MAPK.

BACKGROUND:Drug therapy can partly reduce and delay the progress of Alzheimer’s disease, but only 30%with the single drug treatment obtain clinical cure. OBJECTIVE:To study the therapeutic effect of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cel s transplantation for rats with Alzheimer’s disease. METHODS:Amyloidβ-protein was injected into the hippocampus of Sprague-Dawley rats to construct the model of Alzheimer’s disease. And bone marrow stromal stem cel s were transplanted into the hippocampus of the rat models. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:At 2 weeks after modeling, compared with the control group, the escape latency in the model and experimental groups was significantly longer (P<0.05), which indicating that Alzheimer’s disease models were successful y established. At 4 weeks after cel transplantation, compared with the model group, the average escape latency in the experimental group was significantly decreased, but retention time on the platform quadrant was significantly prolonged (P<0.05). Besides, at 4 weeks after cel transplantation, expression of choline acetyltransferase in the experimental group was significantly higher than that in the model group (P<0.05). In conclusion, bone marrow mesenchymal stem cel s cannot only differentiate and survive in the hippocampus of rats with Alzheimer’s disease, but also improve the learning and memory ability.
