Objective To study the effect of Sirtuin1 (Sirt1) on the pathological process through its activity of deacetylation to improve the clinical outcome of acute sepsis. After searching data base, microRNA-211 (miR-211) was found to have action potentially targeting at Sirt1.The present study aimed to find the interaction between miR-211 and Sirt1 in the pathogenesis of hypoxic injury to cardiomyocytes in the presence of lipopolysaccharide ( LPS ) . Methods Primary neonatal rat cardiomyocytes ( NRC ) isolated from neonatal SD rats and H9c2 ( cardiomyocytes after culture with 10% fetal serum of cattle and DMEM under 37 ℃ and 5% CO2 ) cell line were used in the experiments.The miR-211 expression was quantified by qRT-PCR after LPS exposure for 4 hours, and the changes in Sirt1 protein level were also detected in both NRC and H9c2 by western blot.At the same time, CCK-8 assay and TUNEL staining were also performed to measure cell proliferation and apoptosis activation when either treated with LPS alone or followed by exposure to hypoxia.Results Compared to the control group, the doses of 20μg/mL, 40μg/mL LPS treatment for 4 hours had no significant effects on H9c2 cell proliferation at 24 h, 48 h, 72 h, but it could significantly induce the cell apoptosis of neonatal rat cardiomyocytes and H9c2 cells after hypoxia, and the apoptosis rate increased all over 100% in both NRC and H9c2.At the same time, LPS treatment could significant up-regulate miR-211 expression which was closely associated with decrease in Sirt1 protein levels.Conclusions LPS enhanced cardiomyocytes injury after exposure to hypoxia which was closely associated with up-regulating miR-211 expression and in turn to suppress Sirt1 expression.

Dynamin-related protein 1 (Drpl) is a major protein for regulating mitochondrial fission.Its activity is associated with the post-translational modification,mainly including phosphorylation,ubiquitination,sumoylation,and S-nitrosylation.During the cerebral ischemia,Drpl is activated and translocates from the cytoplasm to the mitochondrial outer membrane,mediates mitochondrial fission and eliminates damaged mitochondria.Drpl plays the important roles in the pathological processes of ischemic neuronal apoptosis,necrotic apoptosis,and mitophagy.Excessive mitochondria fission or accumulation of damaged mitochondria will aggravate neuronal injury.

Objective:To screen the plasma microRNAs( miRNAs) of differential expression in a high fat diet-induced insulin resistance in mouse models;further investigations on the mice with insulin resistance treated by TLR4 inhibitors TAK-242,and to study the changes of plasma miRNAs expression profile and the relationship among TLR4, miRNAs and high fat diet-induced insulin resistance. Methods:The plasma samples were from 3 mouse groups of previous study,namely,the control group with general basic diet ( low fat diet,LFD) ,TLR4 inhibitors TAK-242 treatment group with a high fat diet ( HFD-T) and the high fat diet control group( HFD-C) . The differential expressed miRNAs was screened by expression profiling of plasma miRNAs, which was detected using mouse miRNA microarray. The quantitative Real-Time PCR ( qRT-PCR ) was used to verify the results of microarray. The target genes of differential expressed miRNAs were predicted in TLR4 signaling pathway using bioinformatics methods,and the GO and KEGG database molecular annotation system were used to investigate the main effects of the miRNAs targeted genes on the biological functions or signal pathway. Results:The screening results of miRNA microarray chip showed that,comparing miRNAs expression between HFD group and LFD control group,185 miRNAs were significant in the high fat diet group,including 6 up-regulated and 179 down-regulated miRANs. A significant difference of miRANs was also found between HFD-T group and LFD control group,the total number of differential expression miRNAs was 171,and all of them were down-regulated. Comparing miRNAs expression between HFD-C group and HFD-T group,13
miRNAs were significant in HFD-T group,all of them were down-regulated. Bioinformatics analysis results showed that a total of 10 in-teraction proteins with TLR4 were predicted;the difference of mmu-miR-3095-3p,mmu-miR-5113,mmu-miR-709 and mmu-miR-335-3p expression levels was more than 1 000 times between HFD-C group and HFD-T group,and their target genes can be found in TLR4-in-teraction protein or Toll like receptor signaling pathway;GO and KEGG analysis showed 74% of these target genes belonged to the biological processes genes, and the transcription factors accounted for 82%. The expression of mmu-miR-3095-3p, mmu-miR-5113, mmu-miR-709 and mmu-miR-335-3p detected by qRT-PCR exhibited the similar patterns of down regulation to those shown in microarray results. Conclusion:When insulin resistance occurs,there is a change in plasma miRNAs expression profile,this change is associated with TLR4 and its signaling pathways. The finding enrichs the possible mechanisms of insulin resistance and provides a basis for finding miRNAs diagnostic markers for early diagnosis of insulin resistance.

ObjectiveTo evaluate the neuroprotective effect of gradient perfusion-rewarming after deep hypothermia circulatory arrest (DHCA) in piglets.Methods12 Shanghai piglets (3-4 weeks old) were randomly divided into two groups of A (experiment group) and B (control group),average weight (9.78 ±0.93)kg.Animal CPB model is completed with microinvasive technique.DHCA duration is 90 min in two groups.During the rewarming period,group A was rewarmed with gradient perfusion strategy,maintain the temperature for 15 min every 5 ℃ elevation of the core temperature.Group B was rewarmed according normal consistent rewarming strategy.PH-stat management is adopt in both groups.Blood gas analysis,rectal temperature,heart rate,ECG,blood flow rate of carotid artery,glumatic acid/aspartate level of jugular vein and protein NFB of brain tissue are monitored during and/or after the cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB).ResultsDuration of rewarming in group A is (67.3 ± 7.8) min,and (41.8 ± 3.6)min in group B (P < 0.05).Sample collected at the beginning of CPB,15 min of rewarming,30 min of rewarming and 45 min of rewarming show that there is no difference between the blood flow rate at 15 min of rewarming; difference are shown at the 30 min and 45 min of rewarming (P < 0.5 ).High performance liquid chromatography ( HPLC ) analysis show the obvious difference of glumatic acid level of jugular vein at 30 min of rewarming and 45 min of rewarming ( P < 0.5),this kind of difference of aspartate can only be seen at the 45 min of rewarming.Histologic evaluation shows gradient rewarming has a better effect on preservation of CA1 area neuron in hippocampus,however,Immunohistochemistry doesn't find the same effect.ConclusionControlled gradient perfusion-rewarming strategy can improve the neuroprotective effect during DHCA,keeping the balance of the blood flow,cerebral local temperature and brain metabolism might be the mechanism.

AIM: To study the protective effects of nimodipine liposomes for injection (NDLI) on injuries of total cerebral ischemia/reperfusion(I/R) in rats and anoxia in mice. METHODS: Acute anoxia in mice was produced by hypoxia under normal pressure and decapitation. In these two models the survival time and persistent time of gasping were observed. Ameliorated pulsinelli four-vessel occlusion method was used to make global brain ischemia model. The EEG, the time of righting reflex recovery and Evans blue content in the homogenate of the brain tissues were recorded. RESULTS: NDLI obviously prolonged the survival time and persistent time of gasping in mice subjected to acute anoxia, remarkably shortened the time of EEG recovery and righting reflex recovery, and reduced Evens blue content in the homogenate. CONCLUSION: NDLI has significantly protective effects on injuries of total cerebral I/R and anoxia.
