6.Pharmacological Meaning of Noun Part in Traditional Chinese Medicine Effect Terminology
World Science and Technology-Modernization of Traditional Chinese Medicine 2013;(4):620-627
Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) effect terminology is usually composed of a verb-noun structure such as clearing lung, expelling wind, killing worm and etc. The noun part, indicating objects of the ac-tion of TCM, is usually involved with some core concepts of TCM theory system. In this research, the 30 volumes of TCM work, which is Zhong Hua Ben Cao, were set as data source of the analysis. We collected TCM effect terms from 1702 TCM items. The most commonly used nouns were extracted, including 6 organ nouns, 11 concept nouns, and 9 illness nouns. Combined with modern pharmacological activity data for the 1702 TCM items, chi-square analysis and Spearman correlation analysis were employed to profile the modern pharmacological meanings of these noun terms.
7.Differences of Gpnmb expression in M1 and M2 bone marrow-derived macrophages in mouse
Chinese Journal of Microbiology and Immunology 2013;(7):488-494
Objective To investigate the differences of glycoprotein non-metastatic melanoma b (Gpnmb) expression between M1 and M2 bone marrow-derived macrophages (BMMφs) in mouse.Meth-ods Primary BMMφs were cultured and then identified by immunofluorescence staining for F 4/80 and flow cytometry testing of CD11b.Interferon-γand lipopolysaccharide were used to induce differentiation of BMMφs towards M1 macrophages and interleukin-4 was adopted to induce differentiation of M 2 macropha-ges.Realtime PCR was performed to analyze mRNA expressions of tumor necrosis factor (TNF-α), induc-ible NO synthase (iNOS), macrophage mannose receptor (MMR), arginase-1 (Arg-1) and Gpnmb.Pro-teins of Gpnmb and MMR were detected by double immunofluorescence staining , Western blot and flow cy-tometry.Results (1) Immunofluorescence staining showed high expression of F 4/80 in BMMφs and flow cytometry results showed that CD11b was expressed in 92.7%±6.1% of BMMφs, suggesting that primary BMMφs were successfully cultured.(2) Compared with M0 BMMφs, mRNAs of TNF-αand iNOS were highly up-regulated in M1 BMMφs (both P<0.01), and mRNAs of MMR and Arg-1 were highly up-regula-ted in M2 BMMφs (both P<0.01), indicating that differentiation of BMMφs towards M1 and M2 BMMφs were successfully induced .(3) Expressions of Gpnmb mRNA and Gpnmb protein were predominantly up-regulated in M2 BMMφs in comparison with those in M0 and M1 BMMφs (both P<0.01).Gpnmb and MMR were co-expressed in M2 BMMφs and 83.2%±9.7% of MMR positive BMMφs expressed Gpnmb. Conclusion Gpnmb expression is significantly increased in M 2 macrophages than that in M 1 macrophages in vitro, indicating that Gpnmb which takes part in the differentiation of macrophages might be used as a marker for identification of M 1 and M2 macrophages .
8.Expression of Gpnmb in the acute ischemia-reperfusion injury and the relationship between Gpnmb and macrophage phenotypes
Chinese Journal of Nephrology 2013;29(7):509-514
Objective To observe the expression of glycoprotein non-metastatic melanoma protein B (Gpnmb) in the kidney and urine after ischemic-reperfusion injury (IRI),and explore the relationship between Gpnmb and macrophage phenotypes in the IRI kidney.Methods Male C57BL/6J mice were randomly divided into control group (n =4),sham group (n =4) and IRI group (n =12).Both renal pedieles of mice in IRI group were identified and occluded with microvascular clamps for 30 min.Renal pathological injury was observed by PAS staining.The expression of Gpnmb was examined by real-time PCR and immunofluoresence staining.The location of Gpnmb was observed by flow cytometry and double immunofluoresence staining with F4/80.The mRNA expressions of Gpnmb,CD40,CRR7,CD163 and MMR were examined by real-time PCR.The expression of Gpnmb in the urine was examined by Western blotting and ELISA.Results PAS-stained IRI kidney section showed desquamative epithelia,necrosis debris and a large number of inflammatory cell infiltration.Real-time PCR results showed that there was little expression of Gpnmb in the kidney of control group and sham group.However,the Gpnmb mRNA level in IRI kidneys was highly up-regulated at day 1 and day 2 (both P < 0.01) and followed by a decrease that was similar to the control level at day 3.Double immunofluoresence staining of kidney sections from IRI mice revealed that Gpnmb was predominantly detected in F4/80 positive macrophages.The mRNA expression of Gpnmb was not correlated with M1 macrophage phenotypes CD40 and CCR7,but positively correlated with M2 macrophages phenotypes CD163 and MMR.Western blotting and ELISA result showed that there was significant increase of Gpnmb expression in the urine from IRI mice compared to those of the control group and the sham group (P < 0.01).Conclusions Gpnmb expression is up-regulated in IRI kidney and is associated to M2 macrophages.It may play a role in the process of acute kidney injury.Gpnmb expression is also increased in urine after IR injury and it may be a new biomarker to diagnose AKI.
