Objective To explore the possible pathway and regulatory mechanism of dermal fibroblasts' transdifferentiation into myofibroblasts induced by estrogen. Methods Human dermal fibroblasts were divided into six groups (A: control; B: estrogen; C: estrogen + ICI-182780; D: estrogen + SB203580; E: estrogen + PD98059; F: estrogen + SP600125). The cells were collected for RNA extraction and the expression of α-SMA was detected by real time quantitative RT-PCR. Some cells were analyzed by single cell RT-PCR to detect positive expression percentage of α-SMA.Results The expression and positive rate of α-SMA in estrogen group were significantly increased (Group B vs. Group A, 7. 385±0. 246 vs 1. 367±0. 034, P<0.01) and those in ICI-182780 group and SP600125 group were significantly inhibited (Groups C and F vs. Group B, 4. 619 ±0. 164,2. 409±0. 091 vs 7. 385±0. 246, P<0. 05). Conclusions In the process of fibroblast transdifferentiation into myofibroblasts induced by estrogen, estrogen β receptor and JNK-MAPK signal transduction pathway may play an important role.

A sensitive, rapid and specific liquid chromatographic-tandem mass spectrometric (LC-MS/MS) method for quantification of gabapentin in human plasma has been developed. After a single plasma protein precipitation with methanol, gabapentin and metformin (internal standard) were chromatographed on a Inertsil ODS-3 column (50 mm x 2.1 mm ID, 3 microm) with mobile phase consisting of methanol-0.2% formic acid aqueous solution (80:20, v/v) at a flow-rate of 0.2 mL x min(-1). Electrospray ionization (ESI) source was applied and operated in the positive ion mode. Multiple reaction monitoring (MRM) mode with the transitions of m/z 172 --> m/z 154 and m/z 130 --> m/z 71 were used to quantify gabapentin and metformin, respectively. The run time was 2.2 min. The linear calibration curve was obtained in the concentration range of 40.8-8.16x10(3) ng x mL(-1). The lower limit of quantification was 40.8 ng x mL(-1). The intra- and inter-day precision (RSD) was less than 12%, and the accuracy (RE) was within +/-6.4% calculated from quality control (QC) samples. The method was used to determine the concentration of gabapentin in human plasma after a single oral administration of 600 mg gabapentin capsule to 20 healthy male Chinese volunteers. The method was proved to be selective, sensitive, rapid and suitable for pharmacokinetic study of gabapentin in human plasma.
