Objective:To investigate the role of mitofusion 2 (Mfn2) in high glucose (HG)-induced endoplasmic reticulum stress (ERS) and apoptosis of podocytes.Methods:(1) Streptozocin was used to induce a diabetes mellitus (DM) rat model. Renal histopathological changes in rats were observed by HE staining. Expression of Mfn2 and CCAAT/enhancer-binding protein homologous protein (CHOP) in glomeruli was observed by immunohistochemistry. Protein levels of Mfn2, protein kinase RNA-like ER kinase (PERK), phospho(p)-PERK, and CHOP in glomeruli were analyzed by Western blotting. (2) Conditionally immortalized human podocytes (HPC) cultured in vitro were divided into control, mannitol (MA) and HG groups. Expression of Mfn2 was observed by immunofluorescence. Protein levels of Mfn2, p-PERK, PERK and CHOP in HPC were analyzed by Western blotting. Podocyte apoptosis in each group was evaluated by flow cytometry with AnnexinⅤ-PE/7AAD double staining method. (3) HPC were divided into control, HG, HG+Mfn2-Myc plasmid-transfected and HG+control plasmid-transfected groups. Protein levels of Mfn2, p-PERK, PERK and CHOP in HPC were analyzed by Western blotting. Expression of CHOP was observed by immunofluorescence. Mitochondrial membrane potential in each group was observed by mitochondrial membrane potential assay kit with JC-1. Podocyte apoptosis in each group was evaluated by flow cytometry with AnnexinⅤ-PE/7AAD double staining method. Results:(1) Compared with the control group, the glomerular mesangial matrix of the DM group rats was significantly proliferated, and the expression of Mfn2 was down-regulated with the expression of ERS-related proteins p-PERK/PERK and CHOP up-regulated (all P<0.05). (2) Compared with the control group, Mfn2 was down-regulated and p-PERK/PERK and CHOP were up-regulated in HPC of HG group (all P<0.05). Apoptosis of HPC was also increased in HG group. There was no significant difference in the above indicators between the control group and the mannitol group (all P>0.05). (3) Compared with the HG group, mitochondrial membrane potential of HPC was alleviated and apoptosis of HPC was decreased in HG+Mfn2-Myc plasmid-transfected group ( P<0.05). P-PERK/PERK and CHOP were down-regulated in HG+Mfn2-Myc plasmid-transfected group (both P<0.05). There was no significant difference in the above indicators between the HG group and the HG+control plasmid-transfected group (all P>0.05). Conclusions:Mfn2 down-regulation in HG-stimulated podocytes may induce ERS to increase apoptosis of podocytes. Up-regulation of Mfn2 can alleviate the HG-induced ERS and apoptosis in podocytes.

Objective To investigate the antibacterial effect and its preliminary mechanism of lavender essential oil on multi-drug resistant Acinetobacter baumannii.Methods Micro-dilution method was used to determine the minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) and minimum bactericidal concentration (MBC)of lavender essential oil against multi-drug resistant Acinetobacter baumannii,and bactericidal kinetic study was employed to determine the onset and maintenance time of lavender essential oil.Meanwhile,the promoting and therapeutic effects of lavender essential oil on wound healing were observed in a mouse model of infection.Subsequently,crystal violet staining was used to determine the inhibition and clearance of multi-drug resistant Acinetobacter baumannii biofilm by lavender essential oil,and laser confocal microscopy was utilized to observe the survival of bacteria in biofilms.NanoDrop instrument was utilized to quantify the leakage of bacterial DNA nucleic acid and protein after intervention with 3 and 6 mg/mL lavender essential oil,and the leakage of bacterial potassium ion was measured by potassium ion test kit.Proteomics technology combined with bio-informatics were applied to explore the action mechanism of lavender essential oil against multi-drug resistant Acinetobacter baumannii.Results The MIC and MBC of lavender essential oil were both 6 mg/mL,which could kill almost all multi-drug resistant Acinetobacter baumannii at the time point of 120 min,and showed an obvious dose-and time-dependent manner.The overall animal model evaluation showed that both 3 and 6 mg/mL lavender essential oil could promote wound healing,and the curative effect was obvious.Further studies confirmed that 3 mg/mL lavender essential oil had a certain biofilm inhibitory effect on multi-drug resistant Acinetobacter baumannii,and 6 mg/mL also had a certain biofilm clearance effect under the same conditions.Meanwhile,when incubated at 37℃ for 1 h,the dose of 3 mg/mL could increase the leakage of DNA nucleic acid and protein,and significantly promote the efflux of potassium ions.Proteomic analysis suggested that the antibacterial effect of lavender essential oil may be related to affecting the oxidorereductase activity and cell metabolic process of multi-drug resistant Acinetobacter baumannii,and interfering with the biosynthesis of cell wall/membrane/envelope and other structures.Conclusion Lavender essential oil at 3 mg/mL can play an antibacterial effect against multi-drug resistant Acinetobacter baumannii,and its mechanism may be related to the destruction of bacterial biofilm and interference with bacterial metabolism.

【Objective】 To develop a spray-on membrane dressing for wound repair containing platelet rich plasma (PRP) sodium alginate (SA)/agarose(AG)/carboxymethyl chitosan (CMCS). 【Methods】 SA/AG/ CMCS were mixed in different proportions to prepare biodegradable quick setting spray (BQSS) by blending film method, and the film-forming time, moisture retention and compression resistance of the prepared BQSS were tested. Then PRP and BQSS were mixed in the proportion of 3∶7, 4∶6, 5∶5, 6∶4 and 7∶3 to prepare PRP-BQSS spray film dressings. The film-forming time, moisture retention, compressive strength, porosity and slow-release effect of growth factors of PRP-BQSS spray film dressings were studied. 【Results】 In the preparation of BQSS compound spray film solution, when SA, AG, CMCS and sterile distilled water were 0.6∶0.6∶0.6∶98.2g, the film-forming time (7.73±0.31) s, moisture retention (75. 54±3.03) % and compression resistance (791.00±68.02) g of the spray-film dressing were the best. The basic properties of PRP-BQSS spray-on film dressings and the release of growth factors show that PRP-BQSS spray-on film dressings can exist in different forms, and with the decrease of PRP concentration percentage, its film-forming time, moisturizing performance and compressive strength showed an upward trend. When the PRP content is 30%, the porosity of the dressing is the highest, about(84.34±0.90)%. The release of platelet-derived growth factor-AA(PDGF-AA), platelet factor-4(PF-4) and transforming growth factor beta (TGF-β) was in a slow upward trend, and the release of the three growth factors was higher than that of PRP group in 48 hours. 【Conclusion】 The preparation method of PRP-BQSS spray film dressing designed in this study is simple and mild, and can form a film quickly, with good biological properties and better growth factor inhibition and sustained-release effect.
