Objective:To evaluate the intestinal function in rats with exertional heat stroke (EHS) and explore the protective role of Ruifuping pectin (RFP) against heat related intestinal mucosal injury.Methods:One hundred and twenty healthy special pathogen free (SPF) male Sprague-Dawley (SD) rats were randomly divided into normothermic control group, EHS model group, hyperthermic plus drinking water group (H 2O+EHS group) and hyperthermic plus pectin group (RFP+EHS group) with 30 rats in each group. The rats in the H 2O+EHS group and RFP+EHS group were given water 20 mL/kg or RFP 20 mL/kg orally for 5 days during adaptive training period. After 1 week, the temperature control range was adjusted to (37±1)℃ using the temperature control treadmill, and the rat model of EHS was reproduced by one-time high temperature exhaustive exercise. No rehydration intervention was given during the training adaptation period in the EHS model group. The rats in the normothermic control group were maintained to room temperature (25±2)℃ and humidity (55±5)% without other treatment. Behavior tests including withdraw response, righting, and muscle strength were performed immediately after onset of EHS. Blood of inferior vena cava was collected, and the serum inflammatory cytokines [tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) and interleukins (IL-6, IL-1β, IL-10)] and activity of diamine oxidase (DAO) were detected by enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). The intestinal mucosa was collected, after hematoxylin-eosin (HE) staining, and Chiu score was performed to assess EHS induced pathological changes under light microscope. Results:The rats in the EHS model group had behavioral, inflammatory and pathological changes, such as delayed withdraw response and righting, decreased forelimb pulling, increased inflammatory index, and obvious intestinal mucosal injury, which indicated that the reproduction of the EHS model was successful. There was no significant difference in above parameters between the H 2O+EHS group and the EHS model group except that the inflammatory index in the RFP+EHS group was improved. Compared with the EHS model group, the withdraw reflex to pain and righting after RFP pretreatment in the RFP+EHS group were significantly improved (righting score: 1.4±0.2 vs. 0.3±0.2, withdraw reflex to pain score: 1.0±0.1 vs. 0.2±0.1, both P < 0.05), the muscle strength was significantly increased (N: 13.0±0.5 vs. 8.2±0.6, P < 0.01). The levels of pro-inflammatory factors in the RFP+EHS group were significantly lower than those in the EHS model group [TNF-α (ng/L): 67.5±9.2 vs. 194.3±13.7, IL-6 (ng/L): 360.0±54.1 vs. 981.2±84.4, IL-1β (ng/L): 33.7±9.0 vs. 88.7±6.1, all P < 0.01], while the level of anti-inflammatory factor IL-10 was higher than that in the EHS model group (ng/L: 208.7±10.5 vs. 103.7±7.0, P < 0.01). The degree of intestinal mucosal injury in the RFP+EHS group was less severe than that in the EHS model group, and the Chiu score and DAO were significantly lower than those in the EHS model group [Chiu score: 1.5±0.2 vs. 3.8±0.0, DAO (U/L): 83.7±6.7 vs. 128.7±10.5, both P < 0.05]. Conclusions:High temperature training can damage the intestinal barrier function, and induce endotoxemia and systemic inflammatory response syndrome (SIRS) in rats. Oral prophylactic RFP can protect the intestinal barrier function, alleviate SIRS, and promote the recovery of basic nerve reflex and muscle strength after the occurrence of EHS in rats.

Mucin is widely expressed in various tissues and organs.The abnormal expression of mucin can be found in many digestive system malignancies,which may be related to the Wnt signaling pathway.Mucins 1 and 4 can promote the occurrence,development and malignancy of various digestive system cancers,and even promote tumor invasion and metastasis.The expression levels of Mucin 2 in different types of tumors are different,and the high or low expression has different role in tumor promotion and inhibition.Mucin 15 is abnormally lowly expressed in digestive system cancers,which involves in tumorigenesis and development as well as invasion and metastasis.Mucins 3,5 and 6 are also more closely related to digestive system cancers.In this paper,the research progress on the relationship between mucins and digestive system cancers was reviewed.

Objective To investigate the effect of CCAT1 on migration,invasion and epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) in endometrial carcinoma (EC) cell.Methods Using quantitative PCR assay,level of CCAT1 was detected in EC tissues to find its association with the initiation and malignancy degree of EC.Wound heal assay and transwell invasion assay were performed to study the effect of CCAT1 on migration and invasion ability of EC cell,while qPCR and western blot assay were utilized to detect the levels of related genes.Results In EC tissues,level of CCAT1 was significantly upregulated (P ＜ 0.001) and was positively associated with the malignancy degree of EC.After CCAT1 knockout,shorter migration distance was found,fewer cell passed through the chambers,levels of metastasis-related genes (MMP2 and MMP9) and mesenchymal markers (Snail,Zeb1 and Twist1) were up-regulated,and epithelial markers (E-cadherin and ZO-1) were down-regulated.Conclusion CCAT1 was up-regulated in EC tissue and its expression level was positively associated with the malignancy degree of EC.CCAT1 knockdown inhibited the metastasis,invasion and epithelial-mesenchymal transition of EC cell.

The activation of p21 kinase 2 (PAK2) has a certain value in cancer research, since its participation in a series of intracellular biological activities. There is a relatively little research on its relationship with the development of tumors. PAK2 can be activated by a variety of upstream signals, especially small G protein Rho family of Rac and Cdc42, and it participates in a variety of important signaling pathways and cell function regulation. Abnormal expression of PAK 2 has been reported in various tumors, which involves in cytoskeletal remodeling, cell motility, apoptosis, signal transduction, gene transcription, translation and angiogenesis. Therefore, PAK2 plays an important role in tumor occurrence and development. The study on PAK2 and the targeting therapy for anti-PAK2 provides a new sight on the treatment and prevention of tumor.
