Purpose:
This study aimed to investigate the effect of the N6-methyladenosine (m6A) dependent ferroptosis on cisplatininduced Sertoli cell injury.
Materials and Methods:
A cisplatin exposure mouse model was established by intraperitoneal injection of cisplatin in our study. TM4 cell lines was used for in vitro study. Ferroptosis was detected according to metabolomic analysis and a series of assays, including malondialdehyde, glutathione, and glutathione disulfide concentration detection, 2′,7′-dichlorodihydrofluorescein diacetate and BODIPY 581/591 C11 probe detection, and transmission electron microscope imaging. Key ferroptosis-related genes were identified via transcriptomic analysis, western blot and immunohistochemistry. The m6A modification was demonstrated via m6A RNA immunoprecipitation and luciferase reporter assays. Immune cell infiltration was detected by mass cytometry, and verified by flow cytometry and immunofluorescence.
Results:
Ferroptosis, but not other types of programmed cell death, is a significant phenomenon in cisplatin-induced testis damage and Sertoli cell loss. Ferroptosis induced by cisplatin in Sertoli cell/TM4 cell is GPX4 independent but is regulated by SLC7A11 and ALOX12. Both SLC7A11 and ALOX12 are regulated via m6A dependent manner by METTL3. Furthermore, overexpressed ALOX12-12HETE pathway may result in macrophage polarization and inflammatory response in cisplatin exposure testis.
Conclusions
Cisplatin-induced Sertoli cell injury via ferroptosis and promoted ferroptosis in an m6A dependent manner. m6A modification of both SLC7A11 and ALOX12 mRNA could result in ferroptosis in our in vitro model. Further, overexpressed ALOX12 can cause more production of 12-HETE, which may be responsible for testis inflammation caused by cisplatin.

Objective:To establish and validate a fluorescence focus assay (FFA) for rapid titration of Japanese encephalitis virus (JEV) and to evaluate its application in the production of Japanese encephalitis vaccine.Methods:Recombinant JEV non-structural protein 1 (NS1) was expressed in a prokaryotic expression system. After purification, JEV-NS1 was used to immunize rabbits to induce polyclonal antibody. FFA was established with the polyclonal antibody to titer JEV. The accuracy of FFA was validated by comparing with plaque assay, and the specificity, precision, linearity, range and robustness of FFA were also validated. Twenty-eight batches of live-attenuated Japanese encephalitis vaccine were titrated with FFA and plaque assay to analyze the relationship between the two assays.Results:FFA established with polyclonal antibody against JEV-NS1 could be used to titrate JEV, and there was no cross reaction with other viruses (tick-borne encephalitis virus, yellow fever virus, coxsackievirus A2, coxsackievirus A4). Results of the validation tests showed that FFA met the requirement of quality control for live-attenuated Japanese encephalitis vaccine. FFA was more consistency than plaque assay.Conclusions:The established FFA could be used for virus titration in the production of live-attenuated Japanese encephalitis vaccine.

As an effective anticancer drug, the clinical limitation of doxorubicin (Dox) is the time- and dose-dependent cardiotoxicity. Yes-associated protein 1 (YAP1) interacts with transcription factor TEA domain 1 (TEAD1) and plays an important role in cell proliferation and survival. However, the role of YAP1 in Dox-induced cardiomyopathy has not been reported. In this study, the expression of YAP1 was reduced in clinical human failing hearts with dilated cardiomyopathy and Dox-induced

Objective To explore effects of dizocilpine (MK-801) preconditioning on excitatory amino acids and inflammatory response in rats induced by cardiac arrest-cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CACPR).Methods 18 male Sprague Dawley (SD) rats were randomly divided into three groups:control group,CA group and CA + MK-801 group.To establish rat models of CA-CPR and keep samples of serum and specimens of brain tissues for following detection.The injury of neurons was observed by HE staining and expression of N-methyl-D-aspartic acid receptor (NMDAR) in brain tissues was detected by Western blot.The concentrations of interleukin 1 beta (IL-1 β) and tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α in serum were detected by enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA).Results Neurons in CA group were disorganized,cells shrank,nuclei pyknosis,and cytoplasmic eosinophilia,accompanied by inflammatory cell infiltration.Preconditioning with MK-801 reduced the pathological damage of neuron and degree of macrophage infiltration.The relative expression of NMDAR protein in CA group were significantly higher than that in control group (907.9 ±24.9 vs 321.6 ± 18.4,P <0.001).Preconditioning with MK-801 significantly decreased the expression of NMDAR in CA + MK-801 group compared with that in CA group (512.4 ± 21.1 vs 907.9 ± 24.9).The CA group showed significantly increased concentrations of IL-1 β and TNF-α than that in control group (P < 0.001),and this effect was abolished by preconditioning with MK-801.CA rats treated with MK-801 showed higher concentrations of IL-1 β and TNF-α than the control group.Conclusions Cardiac arrest causes pathological injury of neurons,up-regulates expression of NMDAR and aggravates inflammatory response.These results induce the apoptosis of nerve cells.Blocking glutamate receptor with MK-801 can inhibit expression of NMDAR,decrease level of cytokines,down-regulate inflammatory reaction degree therefore to protect the brain.

Objective To evaluate the miRNA change between hypothermia circulatory arrest at different temperature and its impact on intestinal protection.Methods Sixteen piglets were randomly(n =4) divided into four groups:deep hypothermia circulatory arrest (DHCA,18℃) group,moderate hypothermia circulatory arrest(MHCA,24℃) group,cardiopulmonary bypass(CPB) group and sham operation(SO) group.They were subjected to 80 min hypothermia circulatory arrest,305 min CPB or thoracotomy,respectively.Pick-and-mix custom miRNA real-time PCR panels were utilized to detect intestinal samples.miRNA expression between DHCA and MHCA were compared directly(DHCA vs.MHCA) and indirectly(DHCA/SO vs.MHCA/SO,DHCA/CPB vs.MHCA/CPB).Results Exposure to DHCA caused less intestinal miRNA dysregulation than MHCA.Besides,seven miRNAs(miR-122,miR-145-5p,miR-421-5p,miR-99a,miR-365-5p,miR-31 and miR-192)were differentially expressed between the two hypothermia circulatory arrest groups.Conclusion Better intestinal miRNA protection was provided by DHCA than MHCA.Intestinal miRNA were differentially expressed between hypothermia circulatory arrest at different temperature.

BACKGROUND:Microtubule-associated protein-2 is a kind of important regulatory factor in regulating tubulin assembly. As one of the main members of microtubule-associated proteins, microtubule-associated protein-2 plays an important role in the repairing and development of the nervous system function. It has been found that microtubule-associated protein-2 can promote the repair and rebuilding of injured nerves. OBJECTIVE:To summarize the relationship between microtubule-associated protein-2 and nerve injury as wel as the mechanism of action. METHODS:The PubMed database and CNKI database were retrieved by the fist author for the articles related to microtubule-associated protein-2 published from January 1976 to January 2015. The key words were“microtubule-associated protein-2 (MAP-2), nerve injury, progress”in English and Chinese, respectively. In the same field, articles published recently or in authorized journals were preferred. Repetitive or old articles were excluded, and final y 82 articles were included in result analysis. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Microtubule-associated protein-2 is involved in nerve repair, and plays a promoting role in neuronal morphology and plasticity. To increase the concentration of microtubule-associated protein-2 contributes to the recovery of neurologic function in the early stage after nerve injury.
