ABSTRACT
Objective To evaluate the feasibilty of modified osteogenic culturing of goat adipose derived stromal cells(ADSCs).Methods From March,2013 to September,2014,platelet-rich plasma(PRP) was made from goat autogenous vein blood,and abodimoneal fat was aspirated,following aspetic procedure,primary and series passage of ADSCs was established.Osteoinduced ADSCs was carried out according to following group:combinative osteoinduction group(PRP+rhBMP-2 +ADSCs),growth factor group(rhBMP-2+ADSCs),conventional inductive group(dexamathasone+ascorbic acid + ADSCs) and noninductive group(blank group).Converted microscope was used to observe cellular pattern,cell activity,osteocalcin and collagen type Ⅰ level were detected at 1,3,5,7,9,13,17,21 days.Red Alazarin and Von Kossa staining were also assayed at different interval.Results Under observation of converted microscopy,remarkable cell proliferation with abundant ECM was noticed in combinative osteoinduction group,compared with other groups,level of cell activity,osteocalcin,collagen type Ⅰ [(0.82 ± 2.19)AU,(79.82 ± 1.36)U/L at,(78.51 ± 4.32)μ g/ml at]were significantly higher than other groups (P ＜0.05),and remarkable ALP expression and calcifed nodules were also seen.Conclusion PRP can enhance the inductive effect of rhBMP-2,and combinative osteoinduction procedure acts as a satisfactory culturing method.
ABSTRACT
ObjectiveTo observe the effect of indomethacin on the migration of breast cancer cell line MCF-7 in vitro and investigate the mechanism involved.MethodsThe migration of MCF-7 cell line stimulated with or without indomethacin were tested using transwell plates consisting upper and lower chambers separated by Millipore polycarbonate membrance filters with 8 μm pore sizes; the levels of chemokine receptor 4(CXCR4),cyclooxygenase(COX-2),epidermal growth factor receptor(EGFR) and vascular endothelial growth factor(VEGF)expression in MCF-7 cell line were detected by flow cytometry,Real-time PCR and ELISA,respectively.Results Indomethacin decreased the migration ability of MCF-7 cell line significandy.CXCR4 membrane expression was significantly reduced in a time-dose dependent manner,and CXCR4,COX-2 and EGFR mRNA levels were significantly downregulated after indomethacin stimulation.However,exposure to indometahcin had no major effect on VEGF production of cells.ConclusionThe downregulation of CXCR4,COX-2 and EGFR expression might be the primary mechanism involved in the inhibitory effect of indomethacin on the migration of MCF-7 cell line.
ABSTRACT
ObjectiveToll-like receptors (TLRs) play important role in the progression and tumor immunity of some types of cancer,some research have demonstrated that agonist of TLR3 can trigger apoptosis of cancers.This study was proposed to investigate if Poly(I:C),the specific agonist of TLR3,could impact proliferation or apoptosis of progressive breast cancer cells MDA-MB-231,and to investigate the primary mechanism of the function.MethodsExpression of TLR1-10 mRNA was detected by quantitative real-time reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction.Cell Counting Kit-8 was used to determine the inhibitory effect of Poly(I:C) on proliferation of MDA-MB-231 cells.Cell apoptosis was assayed by flow cytometry with V-FITC/PI staining.Results First,the toll-like receptors 1-10 were all expressed on MDA-MB-231 cells,while the expression level of TLR8 was lower than that of others.Second,according to the CCK-8,the proliferation of MDA-MB-231 cells was inhibited,but the apoptosis was not affected on the basis of Apoptosis Kit.At last,the mRNA expression of TNF-α、IFN-β and IFN-γ were elevated approximately 20 times after Poly(I:C) stimulation for 6 hours.ConclusionMDA-MB-231 cells express all toll-like receptors on mRNA level,and TLR8 was expressed lower than others.The stimulation of TLR3 with Poly(I:C) can inhibit the proliferation of MDA-MB-231,but had no effect on apoptosis.TNF-α、IFN-β and IFN-γ maybe participate in this process.
ABSTRACT
AIM: To investigate whether aorta-derived CD_(105)~+ cells show characteristics of mesenchymal stem cells, and if dexamethason enhances this kind of CD_(105)~+ cells to differentiate into adipocytes. METHODS: The distribution of CD105 in aorta was assessed by immunohistochemistry. The aorta wall cells were isolated and immunophenotypes were identified by FACS. CD_(105)~+ cells were sorted using MACS CD105 micromagnetic beads. The differentiation of CD_(105)~+ cells into adipocytes and osteoblasts was induced under different conditions and indicated by staining of Oil red O, detecting of alkaline phosphatase activity, calcium accumulation stained with silver nitrate and transmission electron microscope analysis, respectively. RESULTS: The endothelial cells, a part of medial smooth muscle cells and adventital fibroblasts were CD105 positive. The isolated aortic arch cells were positive for CD105, CD106, CD44, CD29, and negative for CD45, CD11a, CD11b and HLADR. The CD_(105)~+ cells differentiated into adipocytes contained Oil-Red-O-positive lipid droplets, the osteocytes with calcium deposition and alkaline phosphatase activity. Ultrastructurally, it was observed that some needle-shaped crystal calcium deposition similar to bone spicules was inside the cytoplasm of induced osteocytes. When the dexamethason was absent in the adipogenic medium, there were no adipocytes with lipid droplets. CONCLUSION: The results demonstrate that CD_(105)~+ cells show characters of MSCs reside in aortic wall, and is able to differentiate into adipocytes and osteocytes in vitro. Dexamethasone enhances aorta-derived CD_(105)~+ with characters of MSCs to differentiate into adipocytes. These suggeste that MSCs might be related with atherosclerosis. [
