Objective:To evaluate the role of TANK-binding kinase-1 (TBK1) in renal fibrosis in mice with acute kidney injury (AKI) and relationship with endoplasmic reticulum stress.Methods:Twenty-four male wild-type C57BL/6 mice, aged 8-10 weeks, weighing 20-25 g, were divided into 4 groups ( n=6 each) using a random number table method: control group (group CON), group AKI, control plus TBK1 inhibitor group (group CON-GSK) and AKI plus TBK1 inhibitor group (group AKI-GSK). In group AKI and group AKI-GSK, folic acid 250 mg/kg was intraperitoneally injected to prepare AKI model.From the first day after folic acid injection, 1% dimethyl sulfoxide 20 ml/kg was intraperitoneally injected every other day in group AKI, and GSK8612 1.5 mg/kg was intraperitoneally injected every other day in group AKI-GSK, 7 times in total.In group CON and group CON-GSK, 1% dimethyl sulfoxide 20 ml/kg and GSK8612 1.5 mg/kg were intraperitoneally injected, respectively, every other day for 7 times in total.On the 14th day after injection of folic acid, the eyeball blood samples were taken to determine the concentrations of serum blood urea nitrogen (BUN) and creatinine (Cr), and the kidney tissues were also extracted, and the pathological results of renal tissue were observed by Sirius red staining, Masson staining and HE staining.The area of renal fibrosis was measured and the tubulointerstitial injury score was calculated.The expression of fibronectin, type I collagen and α-smooth muscle actin was detected by immunofluorescence.The expression of phosphorylated protein kinase R-like endoplasmic reticulum kinase (p-PERK), phosphorylated eukaryotic initiation factor 2α (p-eIF2α), activated transcription factor 4 (ATF4), C/EBP homologous protein (CHOP), phosphorylated inositol-requiring kinase 1α (p-IRE1α), tumor necrosis factor receptor-associated factor 2 (TRAF2), apoptosis-regulating signal kinase 1 (ASK1), caspase-12 and phosphorylated c-Jun N-terminal protein kinase (p-JNK) was detected by Western blot. Results:Compared with group CON, the serum BUN and Cr concentrations, area of renal fibrosis and renal tubulointerstitial injury score were significantly increased, and the expression of fibronectin, type I collagen, α-smooth muscle actin, p-PERK, p-eIF2α, ATF4, CHOP, p-IRE1α, TRAF2, ASK1, caspase-12, and p-JNK was up-regulated in group AKI and group AKI-GSK ( P<0.05), and no significant change was found in the indexes mentioned above in group CON-GSK ( P>0.05). Compared with group AKI, the serum BUN and Cr concentrations, area of renal fibrosis, and tubulointerstitial injury score were significantly decreased, and the expression of fibronectin, type I collagen, α-smooth muscle actin, p-PERK, p-eIF2α, ATF4, CHOP, p-IRE1α, TRAF2, ASK1, caspase-12, and p-JNK was down-regulated in group AKI-GSK ( P<0.05). Conclusions:TBK1 is involved in the process of renal fibrosis in mice with AKI, and the mechanism may be related to the promotion of endoplasmic reticulum stress.

The patient was a 21 days-old baby girl,admitted to Guangdong Women and Children Hospital because of "poor intake,seldom crying and no activity in 1 day".The major clinical manifestations included hypotonia,aggravation of the conscious disturbance,pancytopenia,intractable acidosis and hyperammonemia,so,inherited metabolic disorders should be considered.Screening of inherited metabolic diseases with blood and urine samples,genetic test and active treatments were carried out.After targeted next-generation sequencing,a novel homozygotic frame shift mutation in PCCB gene:c.838_839insC (L280Pfs * 11) was identified,which was validated by Sanger sequencing.This mutation had not been reported in the mutation database,and bioinformatic analysis of this mutation indicated disease-causing.So,the diagnosis of propionic acidemia was identified.The baby was in a critical condition,and despite active treatment,her conscious disturbance was aggravated,and the spontaneous breathing disappeared.Subsequently,the baby died of pneumonia.Propionic acidemia is a relatively common genetic metabolic disease in newborns.The severity and the clinical phenotypes of propionic acidemia varied,which often made the diagnosis difficult.When the baby is presented with developmental delay,hypotonia,recurrent convulsion and vomiting,etc,which can't be explained by common diseases of children,propionic acidemia may be considered.Next generation sequencing analysis of the complicated cases can easily to pinpoint a disease-causing gene,which lays a solid foundation for accurate diagnosis and treatment of the patients.

OBJECTIVE To study the cytotoxicity of polyamide amine dendrimers (PAMAM)-hyaluronic acid(HA)as a non-viral gene delivery vector in vitro. METHODS PAMAM-HA was synthesized by our laboratory. Cytotoxicities of various polymers on HeLa cells,Bel-7402 cells and HepG2 cells were evaluated by MTT assay. Apoptotic rates were determined by flow cytometry. RESULTS The cytotoxicity of PAMAM-HA polymer increased with the concentration of polymer(50-800 mg · L-1),the time of action(24-72 h), the number of generations of PAMAM(G4,G5) and decrease in the molecular mass(3850,17 200)and the graft density(5%-25%)of HA. After incubation with PAMAM G4-HA3850-5%or PAMAM G5-HA3850-5%for 24 h,the apoptotic rate of hepatoma cells—Bel-7402 cells was 4.5%and 9.9%,respectively. After incubation with complexes of PAMAM G4-HA3850-5%/DNA or PAMAM G5-HA3850-5%/DNA for 24 h,the viability of HeLa cells was more than 80%,which was lower than that of PAMAM G4/DNA和PAMAM G5/DNA. CONCLUSION Cytotoxicity of PAMAM modified by HA of different grafting density and quantity can be reduced ,suggesting the PAMAM is a promising non-viral gene vector.
