Objective To observe the expression of neural nicotinic acetylcholine receptor subunit α3 (α3nAChR) and extracellular regulated protein kinases (ERK1/2),c-Jun N-terminal kinase (JNK),p38 kinases of mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) pathway in human neuroblastoma cell line SH-SY5Y overexposed to fluoride,and try to investigate the molecular mechanism of cell damage caused by overexposure of fluoride.Methods The SH-SY5Y cell with low expression of α3nAChR suppressed by silence interference RNA served as α3nAChR silence group;the normal SH-SY5Y cell served as control group,and the effect of silencing of αt3nAChR gene in SHSY5Y was detected by Western blotting and real-time PCR;SH-SY5Y cell was treated with different concentrations of fluoride (0.000,0.005,0.050,0.500,1.000,2.500,5.000 mmol/L),the safe concentration of fluoride in SHSY5Y cell was detected by 3-(4,5-dimethyl-2-thiazolyl)-2,5-diphenyl-2-H-tetrazolium bromide (MTT) assay;the SH-SY5Y cell of control group and α3nAChR silence group were treated with 4.000 mmol/L fluoride for 0,4,8,12,24,36,48 h according to the results of MTT assay;the expression of ERK1/2,JNK,p38 kinases of MAPK pathway in SH-SY5Y at protein levels was measured by Western blotting.Results The expression of α3nAChR mRNA (0.04 ± 0.03) and protein (12.0 ± 2.5) in α3nAChR silence group was decreased significantly compared with those of control group (1.00 ± 0.11,100.0 ± 11.3,t =24.58,28.80,all P ＜ 0.05).The viability of SH-SY5Y cell treated with 5.000 mmol/L fluoride (0.53 ± 0.15) was decreased significantly compared with that of SH-SY5Y cell treated with 0.000 mmol/L fluoride (1.05 ± 0.05,P ＜ 0.05).The increased expression of phospho-ERK1/2 was found in α3nAChR silence group and control group incubated with fluoride with time prolonged,and the expression of phospho-ERK1/2 increased significantly at time points 24,36 and 48 h (188.33 ± 7.33,200.00 ± 10.01,213.33 ± 11.55;125.33 ± 5.69,136.00 ± 4.52,155.33 ± 6.51) compared to 0 h in the same groups (100.00 ± 0.00,100.00 ± 0.00,all P ＜ 0.05),and the expression of phospho-ERK1/2 was higher significantly in α3nAChR silence group than those of control group (t =9.26,7.63,5.72,all P ＜ 0.05);no change of expression of total-ERK1/2 in the two groups was found with the passage of time.The gradually increased expression of phospho-JNK was found in α3nAChR silence group and control group,among which,the expression of phospho-JNK in o3nAChR silence group at time points 12,24,36 and 48 h (154.00 ± 6.25,149.00 ± 5.57,156.00 ± 6.08,141.67 ± 2.52) and in control group at 8,12,24,36,48 h (133.33 ± 10.69,173.00 ± 4.00,175.00 ± 11.79,200.67 ± 11.93,200.33 ± 18.58) was compared to those at 0 h in the same groups (100.00 ± 0.00,100.00 ± 0.00),and the difference was significant (all P ＜ 0.05);the higher expression of phospho-JNK was found in α3nAChR silence group other than control group at 8,12,24,36,48 h (t =-4.28,-5.02,-2.89,-8.33,-6.18,all P ＜ 0.05);no change of expression of total-JNK was found in the two groups (P ＞ 0.05).The increased expression of phospho-p38 was detected in control group at time points 24,36 and 48 h (120.33 ± 4.51,122.00 ± 7.55,119.67 ± 7.57) compared to 0 h in the same groups (100.00 ± 0.00,all P ＜ 0.05),and the expression of phospho-p38 was significantly higher than that in α3nAChR silence group at the same time points (93.33 ± 9.61,94.00 ± 5.01,98.33 ± 5.69,t =-4.01,-6.73,-5.59,all P ＜ 0.05);no change of expression of total-p38 was found in the two types of SH-SY5Y cells treated with fluoride (P ＞ 0.05).Conclusion When SH-SY5Y cells are exposed to fluoride;activation of ERK1/2 may be not depend on α3nAChR;α3nAChR may have protected the cell from apoptotic injury caused by activation of JNK pathway,and the activation of p38 may be depend on nAChRα3.

Objective:To investigate the pharmacokinetics of mycophenolic acid( MPA)and its metabolites in different stages af-ter the administration of enteric-coated mycophenolate sodium( EC-MPS)tablets in Chinese liver transplant recipients. Methods:The blood samples of 24 patients were collected in 0-12h of the 1st and 3rd week after the administration of EC-MPS. The concentrations of MPA,AcMPAG and MPAG in plasma were measured by LC-MS/MS developed in our lab. The pharmacokinetic parameters of MPA and its metabolites were estimated by non-compartmental method. Results:After 1-and 3-week therapy with EC-MPS,Cmax ,AUC0-12 and t1/2 was(18. 1 ± 8. 75)and(20. 7 ± 16. 0)μg ml-1 ,(42. 7 ± 17. 5)and(47. 1 ± 23. 9)μg·h·ml-1 ,(3. 33 ± 2. 81)and (3.30 ±1.89)h for MPA;(2.50 ±1.86)and(1.78 ±1.72)μg·ml-1,(14.5 ±11.7)and(6.97 ±6.57)μg·h·ml-1, (4. 48 ± 2. 53)and(3. 76 ± 1. 8)h for AcMPAG;(171. 6 ± 135. 4)and(152. 2 ± 115. 9)μg·ml-1 ,(1299 ± 1 204)and(1 051 ± 561)μg·h·ml-1 ,(8. 73 ± 4. 25)and(7. 75 ± 2. 87)h for MPAG,respectively. There was no significant difference in the PK parameters of MPA after the 1-and 3-week therapy. The Cmax ,Tmax and t1/2 of MPA in the patients received EC-MPS were significantly higher than those in the patients received MMF(P<0. 05). Cmax and AUC0-12 of MPAG in the patients received EC-MPS were signifi-cantly higher than those in the patients received MMF after the 3-week therapy(P<0. 05). Conclusion:There is no significant accu-mulation of MPA after the therapy with EC-MPS at different stages. The absorption of MPA is delayed after the therapy with EC-MPS compared with that with MMF. There is no difference in MPA exposure between EC-MPS and MMF in Chinese liver transplant patients.
