ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate the influence of transcriptional factor Sp1 on expression of bile acids transporters MRP3 and MRP4 so as to perfect the regulatory mechanism of MRP3 and MRP4 expression.Methods Transformed Sp1-overexpression and Sp1 siRNA plas-mids to HepG2 cell and obtained the stably cells line.Then the expression levels of bile acids transporters MRP3 and MRP4 were measured by RT-qPCR,and the change of protein levels were detected by Western blot.Results The stably cells line Sp1-OE-HepG2 and Sp1siRNA-HepG2 were successfully transformed.The mRNA expression and protein levels of MRP3 and MRP4 were significantly increased in Sp1-OE-HepG2 cells,among which the mRNA expression of MRP3 mRNA increased 2.8 times,the protein levels of MRP3 increased 3.0 times,and the mRNA expression and protein levels of MRP4 increased 3.2 times and 2.5 times respectively.Conversely,the mRNA expression and protein levels of MRP3 and MRP4 were decreased in Sp1 siRNA-HepG2 cells,among which the mRNA expression of MRP3 mRNA de-creased 52%,the mRNA expression of MRP4 mRNA decreased 58%,the protein levels of MRP3 decreased 57%,and the protein levels of MRP4 decreased 60%.Conclusion Transcriptional factor Sp1 could regulate the expression of bile acids transporters MRP3 and MRP4 in HepG2 cells.
ABSTRACT
Objective To study the function and effect of Oleanolic acid to cholestasis on regulating bile acids transporters. Methods A total of 45 rats were divided into 9 groups,5 rats in each group. The Sham group,Bile duct ligation group and Oleanolic acid group were treated with saline or Oleanolic acid for 3 days,7 days and 14 days. Then the liver and tested bile acids transporters in mRNA and protein lev-els were collected. Results The expression of bile acids transporter OSTβ with Oleanolic acid was increased after 3 days. The expression of OSTβ and BESP in Oleanolic acid group after 7 days were increased than those in Sham group. Fourteen days later,the increasing tendency of OSTα,OSTβ and BSEP were sensiable. Conclusion Oleanolic acid can stimulates the expression of bile acids transporters OSTalpha-beta and BSEP in bile duct-ligation rats.
ABSTRACT
Objective To increase the recognition of the clinicians and laboratorians to hereditary spherocytosis for reducing the misdiagnosis and missed diagnosis ,and improving the diagnostic level .Methods The data in 4 cases of definitely diagnosed heredi‐tary spherocytosis in our hospital were retrospectively analyzed ,and the misdiagnosis reasons were analyzed and summarized .Results In 4 cases ,2 cases were misdiagnosed as Mediterranean anemia ,1 case was misdiagnosed as hemolytic anemia and 1 case as hemo‐globin disease .Conclusion Correctly mastering the key points of the diagnosis ,strengthening the communication between the labo‐ratorians and clinicians ,paying attention to the red blood cells morphologic examination under microscope and high level diagnosis a‐bility of blood cell morphology are the important means to reduce the misdiagnosis and missed diagnosis and improve the diagnostic accuracy rate .
ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate the change of peripheral blood lymphocyte immunophenotype in the patients with malignant carcinoma and its clinical significance .Methods The flow cytometry was adopted to detect the expression levels of peripheral blood T lymphocyte subpopulations ,CD19+ cells ,CD3-CD56+ cells ,CD3+CD56+ cells in 167 patients with malignant carcinoma (inclu‐ding respiratory tract cancers ,gastrointestinal cancers and reproductive system cancer) and 170 normal controls as the healthy con‐trol group .The contrastive analysis was performed .Furthermore the analysis was conducted according to whether having tumor me‐tastasis and chemotherapeutic cycles .Results The total absolute value of the lymphocytes and the proportion of CD3+CD4+ cells in the patients with malignant carcinoma were significantly lower than those in the healthy control group (P<0 .05) ,but the propor‐tions of CD3+CD8+ ,CD3+CD56+ and CD3-CD56+ cells were significantly higher than those in the healthy control group (P<0 .05) .The proportion of CD3+CD4+ cells in the patients with tumor metastasis were significantly lower than those in the ones without tumor metastasis ;but the proportions of CD3+ CD8+ ,CD3-CD56+ and CD3+ CD56+ cells were significantly higher than those in the ones without tumor metastasis ,the differences were statistically significant(P<0 .05) .In the chemotherapy treatment , the proportions of CD3+CD4+ ,CD3+CD56+ and CD3-CD56+ cells were gradually increased with the increase of chemotherapeutic cycles ,but the proportion of CD3+CD8+ cells was gradually reduced .Conclusion In the process of development ,progression and treatment of tumor ,the cellular immunity function plays a dominant role ,which could be used as one of indexes for clinically moni‐toring the cellular immune function in the patients with tumor .
