ABSTRACT
Objective To evaluate the blocking effect and mechanism of Soybean-derived Bowman-Birk inhibitor (BBI)on LPS-mediated downregulation for tight junction protein(HT-29 cells)in intestinal epithelial cells(IECs). Methods The toxic effect of LPS and BBI on HT-29 cells was detected by CCK8 Kit.HT-29 cells were pretreated by BBI for 6 hours prior to LPS stimulation, the expression of tight junction protein(ZO-1 and Occludin), TLR4, and MyDD8 was detected by the quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction(PCR)and Western Blot;activation of NF-κB was measured by Western Blot.Results LPS(1 000ng/mL)and BBI(1 000μg/mL)showed no cytotoxicity on HT-29 cells.LPS could significantly upregulate the expression of TLR4 in HT-29 cells, the up-regulation had time-dose effect, and could significantly downregulate the expression of tight junction protein, the down-regulation effect was directly proportional to the concentration of LPS, could activate NF-κB, and had dose effect, effect of LPS on HT-29 cells could be significantly inhibited by BBI.Conclusion By inhibiting the expression of TLR4 and activation of NF-κB in IECs induced by LPS, BBI can significantly block the LPS-mediated inhibitory effect on tight junction protein in intestinal epithelial cells.
ABSTRACT
This article introduces a new-type anti-rotation reduction internal fixator, which can be applied in various spine fractures and dislocations in order to shorten the operation time, to raise reduction effect, and to reduce the complications such as the loss of reduction, broken nail, broken rod etc. Biomechanical tests and clinical applications have proved that the internal fixator has the features of a short operation time, a definite fixation and few complications.
