The effects of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) on neural differentiation of human embryonic stem cells (hESCs) in vitro and the possible mechanism were observed. The hESCs lines, TJMU1 and TJMU2, were established and stored by our laboratory. hESCs differentiated into neuronal cells through embryonic body formation. In this induction process, hESCs were divided into three groups: group A, routine induction; group B, routine induction+10 ng/mL VEGF; group C, routine induction+10 ng/mL VEGF+10 ng/mL VEGFR2/Fc. OCT4, Nestin and GFAP in each group were detected by RT-PCR, and the cells expressing Nestin and GFAP were counted by immunofluorescence. The percentage of Nestin positive cells in group B was significantly higher than in groups A and C, while the percentage of GFAP positive cells in group B was significantly lower than in groups A and C (P<0.01). There was no significant difference between groups A and C (P>0.05). It was concluded that VEGF, via VEGFR2, stimulated the neural differentiation of hESCs in vitro.

Abstract: Molecular genetic map is a fundamental organizational tool for genomic research. However, a genetic linkage map for Bupleurum chinense DC. has not been developed. In this study, with the theory of pseudo-testcross, 96 F1 plants from an intraspecific cross of B. chinense were used as mapping populations. Twenty eight ISSR (inter-simple sequence repeat) primers and 44 SSR (simple sequence repeat) primers were used to detect the polymorphisms between the parental plants, and of them, 28 ISSRs and 14 SSRs were selected to analyze the F1 populations. The map consisted of 13 linkage groups which included 80 (72 ISSRs and 8 SSRs) loci, and covered 2 633.9 cM with an average density of 33.4 cM. All 13 linkage groups consisted of 2-31 loci ranging in length from 15.4-1295.7 cM. This map will provide a basis for studies on gene mapping, map-based cloning and maker-assisted selection of important traits in B. chinense.

This study was aimed to establish an identification method for Spatholobus suberectus and its adulterants by near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS). Near-infrared diffuse reflection spectroscopy (NIRDRS) spectra of different S. suberectus and its adulterants were acquired by using OPUS INDENT analysis software. NIRDRS spectra clustering analysis model and identification model were established and verified. The results showed that S. suberectus from dif-ferent regions and its adulterants were identified successfully by clustering analysis model and identification model. It was concluded that Spatholobus suberectus and its adulterants can be identified rapidly and non-destructively by NIRS.

Objective To investigate the effects of stromal cell-derived factor 1 (SDF-1) and an CXC chemokine receptor 4 (CXCR4) antagonist (AMD3100) on the invasion and migration capabilities of the huaman choriocarcinoma cell line JAR for further elucidating the role of SDF-1/CXCR4 axis in the pathogenesis of preeclampsia.Methods JAR cells were divided into four groups: SDF-1 group (treated with 50 ng/ml of SDF-1),SDF-1+AM3100 mixed group (first treated with 100 ng/ml of AMD3100 for 2 hours and then treated with 50 ng/ml of SDF-1),AMD3100 group (treated with 100 ng/ml of AMD3100) and blank control group (without any treatment).RT-PCR was performed to detect the expression of CXCR4 at mRNA level in JAR cells.Western blot assay was used to measure the expression of CXCR4 and p-AKT at protein level.MTT assay was used to analyze the effects of different concentrations of SDF-1 (10,30,50 and 100 ng/ml) on the proliferation of JAR cells at different time points (0,24,48,72 h).Transwell invasion assay and wound-healing assay were used to test the changes in invasion and migration capabilities of JAR cells after different treatments.Results (1) Results of the RT-PCR showed that the expression of CXCR4 at mRNA level in JAR cells was increased in the SDF-1 group (1.839±0.083) as compared with that in the blank control group (1.372±0.086),AMD3100 group (0.694±0.045) or SDF-1+AM3100 mixed group (0.703±0.093).Moreover,the differences between the SDF-1 group and the other three groups were statistically significant (F=30.67,P<0.05).Compared with the blank control group,the expression of CXCR4 at mRNA level in JAR cells was decreased in the AMD3100 group (P<0.01).(2) Results of the Western blot assay showed that the expression of CXCR4 and p-AKT at protein level in JAR cells were enhanced in the SDF-1 group as compared with that in the blank control group,AMD3100 group or SDF-1+AM3100 mixed group.Compared with the blank control group,the expression of CXCR4 and p-AKT at protein level in JAR cells were inhibited in the AMD3100 group.(3) Results of the MTT assay showed that SDF-1,especially at the concentration of 50 ng/ml,could enhance the proliferation of JAR cells (P<0.05) and its best effect on proliferation was seen at 48 h.(4) Results of the Transwell invasion assay showed that the number of transmembrane cells in the SDF-1 group (70.49±2.42) was more than that in the blank control group (54.36±2.26),AMD3100 group (21.68±8.31),or SDF-1+AMD3100 mixed group (28.18±4.61).The differences between the SDF-1 group and the other three groups were statistically significant (F=116.26,P<0.01).Compared with the blank control group,the number of transmembrane cells was reduced in the AMD3100 group (P<0.05).(5) Results of the wound-healing assay showed that the relative migration distance was increased in the SDF-1 group (1.162±0.034) as compared with that in the blank control group (0.823±0.101),AMD3100 group (0.160±0.047),or SDF-1+AMD3100 mixed group (0.183±0.064).The differences between the SDF-1 group and the other three groups were statistically significant (F=30.500,P<0.05).Compared with the blank control group,the relative migration distance was decreased in the AMD3100 group (P<0.01).Conclusion The invasion and migration of huaman choriocarcinoma JAR cells can be enhanced by SDF-1,but inhibited by AMD3100.This study indicates that the blocked biological axis of SDF-1/CXCR4 may play an important role in the pathogenesis of preeclampsia through inducing abnormal activation of PI3K/AKT pathway,which results in inhibited invasion and migration of trophoblast cells and placenta abnormality.
