Background Anti-VEGF drugs are generally applied in the treatment of ocular neovascular diseases.However,the therapy effect is unsatisfactory in some patients.Studing the effect of hypoxia-inducible factor-1 (HIF-1),a upstream regulatory gene of VEGF,and its limiting enzyme prolyl-4-hydroxylase domain proteins (PHDs) is of important clinical significance.Objective This study was to investigate the negtive regulation of exogeneous PHDs on HIF-1 pathway in human RPE cells.Methods pFLAG-PHD1,pFLAG-PHD2 and pFLAG-PHD3 plasmids were constructed by extracting RNA from Hela cell line and coloning PHD1,PHD2 and PHD3 using reverse transcription PCR with restriction enzyme.The plasmids were identified by gene sequencing.ARPE-19 cells were cultured at 21% O2 (normoxia group),1% O2 (hypoxia group),or in hypoxia-mimicking agents (CoCl2,anoxia group),respectively,and then were transfected with plasmids encoding FLAG-tagged PHD1,PHD2,PHD3 and pFLAGCMV2 transfected cells served as blank control.The expressional intensities of PHD1,PHD2 and PHD3 in the cells were detected and compared among different groups by using Western blot assay.The transcriptional activity of HIF-1 in the cells was evaluated with dual luciierase reporter assay.Results Western blot assay showed that PHD1,PHD2 and PHD3 all were expressed in ARPE-19 cells in the normoxia group,hypoxia group and anoxia group.The expression was strong in PHD2 protein and was weak in PHD3 protein,a statistically significant difference was found between PHD2 protein expression and PHD1 or PHD3 expressions (all at P<0.05).Endogenous HIF-1 activity was elevated in pFLAG-CMX transfected cells in the hypoxia group and anoxia group than that in the normoxia group.Compared with pFLAG-CMX transfected cells,no obvious change was seen in the endogenous HIF-1 activity in the normoxia group,however,HIF-1 activity was declined in the hypoxia group and anoxia group after pFLAG-PHD1,pFLAG-PHD2 or pFLAG-PHD3 transfection.Under the same oxygen environment,HIF-1 activity was lower in the pFLAG-PHD2 transfected cells than that in the pFLAG-PHD1 or pFLAG-PHD3 transfected cells (both at P<0.05).Conclusions PHDs play a negative regulation to HIF-1 activating pathway in human RPE cells,especially in hypoxia and anoxia cells.Among PHDs proteins,PHD2 presents the strongest inhibition on HIF-1 activating pathway.

Objective To construct an executable model of a hypoxia response network (HRN) and to analyze the dynamic evolution mechanism of an HRN including randomness as well as concurrency based on computer simulation. Methods Specific evolution rules and Gillespie algorithm were adoped to study the dynamic evolution of the structural model based on the construction of a structural model of an HRN using stochastic Petri net ( SPN ) .Results Dynamic evolution laws of an HRN were obtained and the simulation results were consistent with laboratory results in response to descript switch-like behavior of an HRN .Conclusion A visualization model of the HRN can be achieved using SPN method.Simulation results achieved by executing the model based on stochastic simulation using specific kinetic parameters can serve as a nice complement to traditional laboratory results , which can help shed light on the structure and function characteristics of an HRN.

Objective To evaluate the cardioprotection induced by ischemic preconditioning ( IPC) and hypoxic preconditioning ( HPC) which were carried out by using the double cardiopulmonary bypass ( CPB) circuits in in vivo hearts of dogs. Methods Eighteen healthy male dogs, weighing 17?5-24?5 kg, aged 13-24 months, were divided into 3 groups ( n=6 each) using a random number table: my?ocardial ischemia?reperfusion group (group I∕R), IPC group and HPC group. The double CPB circuits were established as follows: systemic and coronary circulation, and independent systemic and coronary cir?culation was carried out. In group IPC, the aorta was clamped, and the coronary circulation pump was sus?pended for 5 min followed by 5 min opening, repeating for 3 cycles. In group HPC, the aorta was clamped, the coronary circulation was started, and pure nitrogen was insufflated for 5 min followed by 5 min of oxygen insufflation, repeating for 3 cycles. CPB was performed for 1 h starting from the time point immediately after IPC or HPC. Before splitting of sternum ( T1 ) , after establishment of double CPB circuits ( T2 ) , at the end of preconditioning ( T3 ) , and at 60 and 120 min after restoration of spontaneous heart
beat ( T4,5 ) , heat rate, mean arterial pressure, central venous pressure, left ventricular end?systolic pres?sure, left ventricular end?diastolic pressure and the maximum rate of increase∕decrease of left ventricular pressure were recorded. Blood samples were collected from the right internal jugular vein at T1 and T4,5 for determination of serum cardiac troponin I concentrations. The animals were sacrificed after determination of the parameter or after blood sampling at T5 , myocardial specimens were obtained for examination of the ul?trastructure and for detection of apoptosis in cardiomyocytes, and apoptosis index was calculated. Before aortic clamping, immediately after aortic unclamping and at 30 min after aortic unclamping, myocardial specimens were obtained for determination of ATP contents in cardiomyocytes. Results Compared with I∕R group, left ventricular end?systolic pressure was significantly increased, and the serum cardiac troponin I concentrations were significantly decreased at T4,5 , the myocardial ATP contents were significantly in?creased immediately after aortic unclamping and at 30 min after aortic unclamping, apoptosis index was sig?nificantly decreased ( P<0?05 or 0?01) , and the pathological changes were significantly attenuated in IPC and HPC groups. Compared with group IPC, the myocardial ATP contents were significantly increased (P<0?05), and the pathological changes were attenuated in group HPC. Conclusion Both HPC and IPC can exert cardioprotection when carried out by using the double CPB circuits, and HPC provides better cardioprotection than IPC in in vivo hearts of dogs.

Purpose To investigate the occurrence of echinoderm microtubule-associated protein-like 4 (EML4) gene and the anaplas-tic lymphoma kinase (ALK) gene rearrangements in lung squamous cell carcinomas (SCC), and to provide with a test for targeted therapy of SCC. Methods In this study, we analyzed ALK protein expression with a specific rabbit monoclonal Ig antibody ( D5F3 clone) in 219 cases of lung SCC. The positive cases were confirmed with ALK fluorescence in situ hybridization ( FISH) . Results 4 out of 219 (1. 8%) cases of lung SCC were ALK positive detected by immunohistochemistry (IHC) staining, which were confirmed by ALK FISH. Conclusions There are SCC having EML4-ALK gene rearrangement. The response of SCC patients with ALK expression to targeted therapy of Crizotinib should be explored. Strong positive expression of ALK protein can be interpreted as EML4-ALK gene rearrangement.
