Objective To evaluate the role of Lactobacillus plantarum (LP) in the treatment of colitis in interleukin (IL)-10 knockout (IL-10-/-) mice and to explore its possible mechanisms.Methods Eight weeks old female wildtype (WT) mice and IL-10-/- mice, twenty mice of each type,were randomly assigned to four groups, WT group, WT+ LP group, IL-10-/- group and IL-I0-/- +LP group. The WT and IL-10-/- mice were gavaged with 0.5 ml saline, WT+Lp and IL-10-/- +Lp groups were gavaged with Lp 0.02 g (0.5 ml) ,took Lp 1 × 109 cfu everyday,continued for 4 weeks and then the experiment finished. The fresh mice faeces was collected once every week before (week 0) and during the experiment. The mice were executed at the end of experiments, the change of mice weight Was recorded, the length and the wet weight of colon were measured, fresh colon tissue specimens were taken for biological slices and proinflammatory cytokines TNF-a and IFN-γ were measured in colon mucosa. The fresh faeces were selectively cultured. The colonization of Lp in normal and colitis mice and its regulation role in intestinal flora were observed. Results Compared with WT mice, IL-10-/- mice demonstrated severe diarrhea, significantly decreased in body weight (P ＜0.05)and serious malnutrition. After Lp treatment, diarrhea relieved in IL-10-/- mice and the body weight increased significantly (P＜0.05). Pathological examination suggested that 100％ of IL-10-/-mice had intestinal inflammation, however after Lp treatment intestinal inflammation improved significantly. Mucosal ulcer, epithelial hyperplasia, the infiltration of neutrophils and lymphocytes in the lamina propria were also significantly reduced.The histopathological score was significantly lowered (P＜0.01). After Lp treatment, colon wet weight and the ratio of wet weight to length of IL-10-/- mice changed significantly (P＜0.01). Colon edema and thickening improved remarkably. The TNF-a and IFN-γ concentration of colon in IL-10-/- mice were 377.4±84.4 μg/g and 602.6±108.1 μg/g,which increased obviously than WT group (139.2 ± 32. 7 μg/g and 173.0± 52.4 μg/g, P＜0.05). After treated with Lp for four weeks, the TNF-α and IFN-γ concentration of colon in IL-10-/-+Lp group mice were 207.2±65.7 μg/g and 442.1 ± 138.4 μg/g, both were lower than that of IL-10-/- group mice (P＜0.05). The intestinal flora was disrupted in IL-10-/- mice. Conclusion Lp can effectively reduce intestinal inflammation in IL-10-/- mice, which take certain part in treatment in colitis. This treatment effect is associated with intestinal flora regulation and the inhibition of proinflammation cytokines expression.

Objective To investigate the effect of Lactobacillus plantarum(LP)on intestinal flora and bacterial translocation in mice with spontaneous inflammatory bowel disease(IBD). Methods Interleukin 10 knockout mice(IL-10~(-/-))were used as models of IBD.Eight-week old female mice were randomized to control group, IL-10~(-/-)group and IL-10~(-/-)+LP group.IL-10~(-/-)+LP group received 0.5 mL LP(1.0×10~9CFU/mL)per day for 4 weeks,and the other groups received 0.5 mL Ringer buffer.Intestinal flora including Bifidobacteria,Lactobacilli,Enterobacteriaceae and Clostridium perfringens in the feces and bacterial translocation in mesenteric lymph nodes and spleens were detected. Results The contents of Bifidobacteria and Lactobacilli significantly decreased in the intestine of IL-10~(-/-)mice,while those of Enterobacteriaceae and Clostridium perfringens significantly increased,and the bacterial translocation significantly increased.Four weeks after LP treatment, the disturbed intestinal flora was restored, and the bacterial translocation decreased. Conclusion LP administration can modulate the imbalance of intestinal flora and decrease the bacterial translocation,thus enhance intestinal barrier function in mice with IBD.

Objective To explore the feasibility of detecting the cytokeratin 20 (CK-20) mRNA in exfoliated urothelial cells for the diagnosis of bladder carcinoma. Methods Reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) was used to detect the expression of CK-20 mRNA in cells collected from the urine of 45 cases of bladder cancer, 15 cases of cystitis accompanied by hematuria, 10 healthy volunteers, and 7 different cell lines, including bladder cancer cell line T24, kidney cancer 786-0 and GRC-1, breast cancer MCF-7 and MDA-MB-435, and ovary cancer SKOV 3 and 3AO. Results CK-20 mRNA expression was detected in 36 of 41 cases of bladder transitional cell carcinoma (87.80%), in 18 of the 21 GⅠ patients (85.71%), in 11 of the 13 GⅡ patients (84.62%), in 7 of the 7 GⅢ patients (100%), in 20 of the 22 T a-1 patients (90.91%), and in 16 of the 19T 2-4 patients (84.21%). Sensitivity of the method was found to be 87.80%, whereas specificity was 73.33%. In 15 patients with hematuria, there were 4 cases of false positive: 1 case of BPH, 1 case of atypical hyperplasia, 1 case of chronic inflammation, and 1 case undergoing TURP previously. CK-20 amplification band was also obtained in all of 19 cases of bladder transitional cell tumor tissues and bladder cancer cell line T24, but not in 4 patients with non-transitional cell carcinoma and 6 other tumor cell lines. No false positive cases were found in the healthy control group. Conclusion These results suggest that CK-20 might be a useful tumor marker for early noninvasive diagnosis and follow-up of bladder cancer by detecting CK-20 mRNA expression of uroepithelial cells from the voided urine specimen by RT-PCR.
