Sonic hedgehog (Shh) signaling has recently been shown to be involved in the pathological angiogenesis in response to tissue hypoxia and ischemic injury. Hypoxia/ischemia is considered to play an important role in the development of choroidal neovascularization (CNV). This study was aimed to examine the effect of blockade of the Shh signaling pathway on CNV and the underlying mechanism. A total of 64 male Brown-Norway (BN) rats were used in this study. One eye of each rat underwent laser photocoagulation. The other eye served as normal control. After the laser treatment, the 64 rats were divided into four groups (n=16 in each group): Blank control group, in which no intravitreal administration was given; cyclopamine group, recombinant Shh N-terminals protein (rShh) group and phosphate-buffered saline (PBS) group, in which cyclopamine (a Shh inhibitor), rShh (a Shh activator) and PBS were intravitreally injected into the laser-treated eyes respectively every other day for a total of four intravitreal injections immediately after the laser treatment. Fourteen days after the intravitreal administration, the changes of CNV-related variables, including positive CNV lesion percentage, CNV membrane area and CNV membrane thickness, were evaluated by fluorescein angiography, indocyanine green angiography and pathological examinations. The mRNA and protein expression of PTCH1, Gli1, HIF-1(α), VEGF and DLL4 in each group on 14 days of CNV model was detected by real-time quantitative PCR and western blot analysis, and the relationship between the Shh cascade and the HIF-1(α)-VEGF-DLL4 cascade in CNV was analyzed. The results showed that the CNV membrane area and the CNV membrane thickness were decreased by 62.5% and 41.9% in the cyclopamine group and increased by 85.7% and 64.3% in the rShh group in comparison to those in the blank control group (P<0.01 for each). There was no significant difference in the CNV membrane area and thickness between the blank control group and PBS group (P=0.102 and P=0.063, respectively). Real-time quantitative PCR revealed a 5.23-, 4.14-, 2.97-, 2.78- and 2.39-fold up-regulation of the mRNA expression of PTCH1, Gli1, HIF-1(α), VEGF and DLL4 genes in the laser-treated eyes compared with the normal control eyes in the control group. In the cyclopamine group, the mRNA and protein expression of Gli1, HIF-1(α), VEGF and DLL4 was significantly down-regulated (P<0.05 for each) while the expression of PTCH1 showed no significant changes at the mRNA (P=0.293) and protein level (P=0.304). The mRNA expression and protein expression (P=0.001 and P=0.021, respectively) of PTCH1, Gli1, HIF-1(α), VEGF and DLL4 was significantly increased in the rShh group when compared with the control group. The expression level of these genes was related to the severity of the CNV. It was concluded that intravitreal administration of cyclopamine can effectively inhibit the formation of laser-induced experimental CNV by down-regulating the expression of the HIF-1(α)-VEGF-DLL4 cascade in CNV. The Shh signaling pathway as an upstream signaling pathway of HIF-1(α)-VEGF-DLL4 cascade is implicated in the development of experimental CNV.

Objective To investigate the influence of Shenlongjiannaotang on the function of learning and memory of D-glalactose induced aging mimetic rats,and the concentrations of norepinephrine(NE),dopamine(DA) and 5-hydroxy tryptamine(5-HT) in cerebrum.Methods 50 rats were randomly divided into 5 groups: normal control group,model group,and high/middle/low dosage prescription group of Shenlongjiannaotang.The memory function was tested with Morris water maze.The concentrations of NE,DA and 5-HT were detected with HPLC with fluorescence spetrometer.Results In the model group,the latency of model mice increased,and the correct number decreased significantly compared with normal group(P<0.05).After 6 weeks administering Shenlongjiannaotang,the latency decreased and the correct number increased significantly in high dosage group,compared with those of the model group(P<0.05).The contents of NE and DA reduced in model group,and Shenlongjiannaotang could increase NE and DA contents of rats cerebrum(P<0.05).Conclusion Shenlongjiannaotang could improve the learning and memory function of D-galactose induced aging rats,which may related with the increase of NE and DA contents in cerebral tissue.The effects depend on the dosage of Shenlongjiannaotang.

Objective To investigate the effect of Shenlongtang on the function of learning and memory of aging rats induced with D-glalactose. Methods 40 Wistar rats were dividied into control group, model group, treating group 1 (large dosage), treating group 2 (medial dosage), treating group 3 (lower dosage). The aging models were induced with D-galactose. The memory function was tested with passageway water maze. The activity of superoxide dismutase (SOD) and content of malodialdehyde (MDA) was measured. Results In the D-galactose model rats, the swimming time was prolonged significantly, and the correct number was decreased significantly compared with normal group (P<0.05). After Six weeks treating with Shenlongtang, the swimming time significantly shortened and the correct number increased significantly in large dosage group compared with the model group (P<0.05). The activity of SOD increased and the content of MDA decreased in large dosage group compared with that in the model group (P<0.05).Conclusion Shenlongtang can improve the learning and memory function of aging rats induced with D-glalactose and resist lipid peroxide in brain tissue.

Objective To observe the effect of RNA interference binding immunoglobulin protein (BiP) on expression of bone markers and keytranscription factors in osteoblast exposed to fluoride.Methods MC3T3-E1 cells were used as osteoblast model in vitro.The cell viability was test with cell counting Kit-8 after cells were administrated with varying concentrations of fluoride [0.0 (control),0.1,1.0,2.0,4.0,8.0,16.0,20.0,32.0 and 64.0 mg/L] for different duration.Cells transfected with small interfering RNA (siRNA) BiP were exposed to fluoride (2.0,8.0 and 20.0 mg/L) for 2 days.Real-time PCR and Western blotting technique were used to determine the gene and protein levels of BiP.Meantime,the mRNA expression of bone markers and key transcription factors was investigated by real-time PCR.Results The difference of all viability in fluoride-dose groups was statistically significant exposed for 1,3,7 and 14 days (F =46.7,118.6,214.6,325.6,all P ＜ 0.05).Expression of BiP significantly increased in cells exposed to 20.0 mg/L compared to that of control (11.22 ± 3.25 vs.7.94 ± 1.31,P ＜ 0.05).The expression of alkaline phosphatase (ALP) elevated in cells exposed to 2.0 mg/L of fluoride (12.81 ± 3.62 vs.6.86 ± 2.13,P ＜ 0.01);conversely,it significantly reduced in cells exposed to 20.0 mg/L of fluoride (0.89 ± 0.17 vs.6.87 ± 2.14,P ＜ 0.01).Cells transfected with siRNA BiP significantly decreased the ALP expression in cells exposed to fluoride compared to that of cells only exposed to the same concentration of fluorine (12.81 ± 3.62 vs.7.43 ± 2.06;5.92 ± 2.38 vs.3.96 ± 0.21,all P ＜ 0.05).Cells transfected with siRNA BiP and administrated with 2.0 mg/L significantly reduced the osteocalcin expression (4.29 ± 0.99 vs.1.29 ± 0.86,P ＜ 0.01).Similarly,expression of runt-related transcription factor 2 (Runx2) significantly increased in cells exposed to 2.0 mg/L.However,expression of Runx2 significantly decreased in cells transfected with siRNA BiP and administrated with fluoride.Cells transfected with siRNA BiP significantly decreased the Runx2 expression in cells exposed to 2.0 mg/L and 20.0 mg/L compared to that of cells only exposed to the same concentration of fluorine (1.13 ± 0.22 vs.6.61 ± 0.48;0.02 ± 0.02 vs.1.50 ± 0.38,all P ＜ 0.01).As the downstream of Runx2,the expression of osterix in cells treated with different concentrations of fluoride was similar to that of Runx2.Conclusion BiP is not directly involved in the process of osteoblast differentiation induced by fluoride;instead,it affects the expression of bone markers and key transcription factors in osteoblast exposed to fluoride.

Objective To explore the neutrophil to lymphocyte ratio (NLR) and its relationship with the effect of chemotherapy and prognosis in patients with diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL).Methods The clinicopathological characteristics and outcome of 51 patients with DLBCL diagnosed by pathological biopsy and immunohistochemistry who received CHOP or R-CHOP regimen were collected and reviewed.According to the median of NLR,the patients were divided into low NLR group (NLR≤2.32) and high NLR group (NLR＞2.32).The prognostic influence of the NLR on overall survival (OS) was studied by Kaplan-Meier method and Log-rank test.To evaluate the independent prognostic relevance of NLR,univariate and multivariate Cox regression models were applied.Results The complete response (CR) rates of the low and high NLR groups were 71.4 ％ (20/28) and 39.1％ (9/23),respectively (P =0.02).The OS in the low NLR group was significantly better than that in the high NLR group (1,2 and 3-year OSs were 96.4 ％,90.4 ％ and 72.3 ％ vs 63.9 ％,52.7 ％ and 42.2 ％,respectively,P =0.009).Univariate and multivariate Cox regression models analysis showed that NLR ＞ 2.32 was an independent prognostic factor (P =0.016).Conclusion An elevated NLR before treatment indicates the poor effect of chemotherapy and prognosis of patients.NLR is an independent prognostic factor for DLBCL.
