ObjectiveTo study the effect of allo-human bone marrow mesenchymal stemcells (bMSCs) on the secretion of interleukin(IL)-1, tumor necrosis factor(TNF)-α and transforming grouth factor (TGF)-β of patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) in vitro. MethodsBMSCs were isolated from bone marrow of healthy volunteers and purified by density gradient centrifugation and cultured in vitro. The mononuclear cells from the peripheral blood of patients with RA and healthy controls were isolated respectively.bMSCs and mononuclear cells were co-cultured in vitro and the density of IL-1, TNF-α and TGF-β3 in the co-culture system were detected by ELISA. ANOVA and Pearson correlation were used for statistical analysis.ResultsMononuclear cells from peripheral blood of patients with RA were co-cultured with bMSCs for seven days. There were an decreased density ofIL-1[(38.4±0.5) vs(6.2±1.0) ng/L], TNF-α[(29.4±1.3) vs (4.6±1.2) ng/L]and an increased density of TGF-β[(2.6±1.0) vs (22.5±2.2) ng/L]in the co-culture system (P<0.05). But on the other hand, for healthy volunteers there were no significant change in the density of IL1[(4.4±1.1) ng/L]and TNF-α[(5.0±1.7) ng/L]in the coculture group, as compared with the mononuclear cell group[(4.4±1.3) vs(5.3±1.7) ng/L](P>0.05). There was an increased density of TGF-β in the coculture system[(4.8±1.4) vs(10.5±1.2) ng/L](P<0.05). IL-1 was positively correlated to TNF-αt (r=0.896,P=0.000), TNF-β1 was nagative correlation with 1L-1 and TNF-α (r=-0.356,P=0.019; r=-0.380,P=0.000).ConclusionHuman bone marrow MSCs have modulatory effects on main cytokines of patients with RA in vitro. bMSCs could down-regulate the levels of IL-1 and TNF, but up-regulate the density of TGF-β. These immune-modulatory effects are not MHC restricted. The results of this study have provided evidence for the development of effective therapy for RA.

Objective:To detect the functional role of Fascin1 and its related molecular mechanisms in migration and invasion capacity of glioma cells,we utilized gene specific small interference RNA of Fascin1 in cell line U87 MG. Methods:Fascin1-siRNA or negative siRNA was transfected into U87 MG cells of control group or experiment group. Transwell method was employed to assess the migration and invasion capacity of glioma cells. Western blot analysis was used to detect the protein expression of Fascin1,pAKT and pSTAT3. The impact of PI3K/AKT pathway and STAT3 pathway on migration and invasion of U87 MG cells was verified,via applying LY294002 and LY294002,which was inhibitor of the two pathways respectively. Results:As compared to control groups,the migration and invasion capacity of transfected glioma cells were attenuated about 52% or 43%(P<0. 05),accompanied with the decreased phos-phorylation of AKT and STAT3. As utilizing the inhibitors of AKT and STAT3,attenuated migration and invasion capacity of U87 MG cells were observed. Conclusion:Down-regulated expression of Fascin1 could suppress the migration and invasion capacity of U87 MG cells by inhibiting the phosphorylation of PI3K/AKT pathway and STAT3 pathway.
