Objective To investigate the effects of hydrogen sulfide on autophagy and the apoptosis after acute spinal cord injury in rats. Methods Thirty-six adult male SD rats (250-300 g) were randomly divided into three groups (n=12 for each group):sham operation group (Sham group), spinal cord injury group (Model group) and hydrogen sulfide pre-treatment group (H2S group). Allen’s method was used to establish the rat model of spinal cord injury. Rats of sham operation group re?ceived only laminectomy. Rats of H2S group received sodium hydrosulphide injection intraperitoneally (50μmol/kg) 1h after spinal cord injury, and Model group was given the same amount of saline solution. Rats in the three groups were sacrificed 24 h after spinal cord injury, then the spinal cord was removed. The expressions of LC3, p70S6K and Cleaved caspase-3 were detected by Western blot assay. The expression of LC3 was also detected by immunofluorescence. The cell apoptosis was as?sessed by TUNEL stain. Results Compared with Sham group, the expression levels of LC3Ⅱ/LC3Ⅰand Cleaved caspase-3 were increased in Model group, but the expression of p70S6K decreased and cell apoptosis increased in Model group (P<0.01). Compared with Model group, the expression levels of LC3Ⅱ/LC3Ⅰand Cleaved caspase-3 were decreased significant?ly, while the expression of p70S6K increased and cell apoptosis decreased significantly in H2S group (P < 0.01). Conclu?sion Hydrogen sulfide can inhibit autophagy and reduce cell apoptosis after acute spinal cord injury in rats.

AIM: To explore the localization and expression of transfo rming grow th factor-? 1,2 (TGF-? 1,2 ) and alpha-smooth muscle actin (?- ASMA) in fetal a nd adult skins. METHODS: Skins of 15 cases of fetuses with different gestational ages and 5 cases of adults were taken, embedded with paraffin wax, and sectione d. Immunohistochemistry method and pathological method were used to detect the e xpression intensity and distribution of TGF-? 1,2 and ?-ASMA. RESULTS: Positive immunohistochemical signals of TGF-? 1,2 and ?-A SMA were found in fetal and adult skins. In skins derived from young fet us, the positive signals of these three proteins were very weak. Along with the incr ement in gestational age, the positive cellular rates of TGF-? 1,2 and ?- ASMA were elevated pro gressively. In elder fetal and adult skins, TGF-? 1,2 were mostly distributed i n epidermal cells, endothelial cells and some fibroblasts, while ?-ASMA was mainly located in myofibroblasts and sweat gland epithelial cells. CONCLUSION: The endo genous TGF-? 1,2 might be involved in the cutaneous development at embryoni c stage, in the cutaneous structure maintenance at adult stage, and in the wound healing af ter injury.

BACKGROUND: Bone marrow mesenchymal stem cell transplantation is superior to neural stem cell transplantation to repair spinal cord injury; however, the therapeutic effect is unstable and possibly related to microenvironment.OBJECTIVE: To study the differentiation of cultured in vitro bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) into neurocytes by establishing a microenvironment and to observe differential expression of protein.DESIGN, TIME, AND SETTING: Observational contrast study was performed at the Laboratory of Neurobiology, Basic Medical College, Harbin Medical University from July 2005 to May 2007.MATERIALS: Adult Wistar rats and newborn fetal rats were used in this study.METHODS: Spinal cord was obtained from fetal rats to culture neurocytes. While, BMSCs were separated from bone marrow of adult rats, and they were then cultured in vitro, proliferated, and labeled with red fluorescin PKH26. BMSCs and neurocytes were individually cultured in the BMSCs group and the neurocyte group, respectively. In addition, BMSCs and neurocytes were co-cultured in vitro in double-layer culture dish in the co-culture group and the layered combination group, respectively.MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: The obtained cells after 7-day culture were immunofluorescently detected by neuron-specific enolase (NSE) and glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP). Surface enhanced laser desorption/ionization time of flight mass spectrometry (SELDI-TOF-MS) technique was used to analyze associated protein that was apparently changed during the differentiation from BMSCs into neurocytes.RESULTS: Seven days after co-culture, BMSCs were morphologically shared like neurocytes. Immunofluorescence indicated that NSE- and GFAP-positive ratios of BMSCs in the co-culture group were significantly higher than the layered combination group (P < 0.05); while, the ratios in the layered combination group were significantly higher than BMSCs alone group (P < 0.05). Five protein expressions were changed during the differentiation from BMSCs into neurocytes, for example, TIP39_RAT and CALC_RAT expressions increased in the layered combination group, which were 5.344 and 2.805 times as the primary expressions; INSL6_RAT, PNOC_RAT, and PCSKI_RAT expressions decreased, which were 0.380, 0.499, and 0.437 times as the primary expressions.CONCLUSION: By a microenvironment, both BMSCs and neurocytes in the co-culture and layered combination groups can differentiate into neuroblasts; while, contact differentiation ratio is higher than non-contract one. The differentiation is closely related to five proteins, including TIP39_RAT, CALC_RAT, INSL6_RAT, PNOC_RAT, and PCSK1_RAT.
