ABSTRACT
【Objective】 To explore the mechanism of macrophage-inducible C-type lectin (Mincle) and microinflammatory state in uremia. 【Methods】 SD rats were randomly divided into uremia group and sham operation group. The morphology and permeability of intestinal tissue, the morphology of intestinal tissue and macrophages were observed by transmission electron microscope, the expression of Mincle was detected in intestinal tissue sections, and the expressions of Toll-like receptor 4 (TLR-4) and NF-kappa B (NF-κB) protein on the surface of macrophages were detected by Western blotting. After the plasma was separated, the levels of endotoxin, C-reactive protein (CRP), interleulin-6 (IL-6) and tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) were detected by Limulus lysate dynamic turbidimetric assay, and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). The data were analyzed with IBM SPSS19.0 software. 【Results】 The expression of Mincle in the jejunum, ileum, and colon in uremia group was higher than that in sham-operation group (P<0.05). The expressions of TLR4 and NF-κB protein significantly differed in the ileum, jejunum and colon in uremia group (P<0.001). The levels of endotoxin, CRP, IL-6, and TNF-α were significantly increased in uremia group compared with sham-operation group (P<0.05). 【Conclusion】 In uremia, Mincle on the surface of intestinal macrophages increases and further through TLR4/NF-κB pathway mediates the transformation of intestinal macrophages to M1 type, releasing inflammatory products and causing systemic microinflammation.
ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE To explore the improvement effect and potential mechanism of total flavonoids from Alpinia zerumbet on gastric mucosa injury induced by absolute ethanol through microRNA-146a-5p （miR-146a-5p）. METHODS Using human gastric mucosa GES-1 cells as objects， the acute gastric ulcer model was established by absolute ethanol； based on the investigation of the effects of different concentrations of total flavonoids from A. zerumbet on cell activity and the selection of action concentration， the relative expression level of miR-146a-5p in GES-1 cells was detected， the protein expressions of tumor necrosis factor （TNF） receptor-associated factor 6（TRAF6）， nuclear factor-κB p65 （NF-κB p65） and TNF-α were detected， and the levels of interleukin- 1β （IL-1β）， IL-6 and prostaglandin E2 （PGE2） in cell supernatant were determined. The targeting relationship between miR-146a- 5p and TRAF6 was verified； the effects of overexpressed miR-146a-5p and TRAF6 knockdown on the levels of IL-1β， IL-6 and PEG2 in supernatant of model cells as well as the effects of miR-146a-5p knockdown on anti-gastric ulcer effect of total flavonoids from A. zerumbet were observed. RESULTS Compared with the blank group， the relative expression of miR-146a-5p in cells and the level of PGE2 in cell supernatant were decreased significantly in the model group （P＜0.01）， while the protein expressions of TRAF6， NF-κB p65 and TNF-α in cells and the levels of IL-1β and IL-6 in cell supernatant were increased significantly （P＜ 0.01）. Compared with the model group， the relative expression of miR-146a-5p in cells and the level of PGE2 in cell supernatant were increased significantly in model+A. zerumbet total flavonoids （60 mg/L） group （P＜0.01）， while the protein expressions of TRAF6， NF-κB p65 and TNF-α in cells and 82260767） the levels of IL-1β and IL-6 in cell supernatant were decreased significantly （P＜0.05 or P＜0.01）. There was a targeted relationship and a negative correlation between miR-146a-5p E-mail：3113836821@qq.com and TRAF6. After overexpression of miR-146a-5p or TRAF6 knockdown， the levels of IL-1β and IL-6 were decreased significantly in cell supernatant， while the level of PGE2 was increased significantly （P＜0.05）. After miR-146a-5p knockdown， the levels of IL-1β and IL-6 in cell supernatant and the protein expression of TRAF6 in cells administered with total flavonoids of A. zerumbet were increased significantly， while the level of PGE2 was decreased significantly （P＜0.05）. CONCLUSIONS Total flavonoids of A. zerumbet can improve the gastric mucosa injury induced by absolute ethanol. The mechanism may be related to up-regulating the expression of miR-146a-5p， inhibiting the expression of TRAF6， and further inhibiting the secretion of related inflammatory factors.
ABSTRACT
Objective:To construct breast cancer organoid culture system and conduct histological characterization and preliminary radiobiological characteristics study.Methods:Different molecular types of breast cancer cell lines and patient-derived tumor cells were cultured in vitro to form breast cancer organoids and characterize their tissue structure. In addition, Ki-67, ER, PR and Her2 markers were evaluated by immunohistochemical staining. Breast cancer organoids were irradiated with 4 Gy and 8 Gy. The numbe and diameter changes of breast cancer organoids at 0, 24, 48 and 96 h after irradiation were observed to evaluate the irradiation-induced damage to the organoids. Results:Breast cancer cell lines and patient-derived tissues formed organoid structures at 6 d. HE staining showed the microstructures, and the expression profile of markers was spatially heterogeneous. The expression patterns of markers were similar between patient-derived organoids and original tumor tissues. Irradiation of MCF-7 breast cancer organoids led to growth arrested, and some of the formed organoids collapsed and the proliferating trend gradually recovered from 48 h to 96 h. MDA-MB-231 breast tumor organoids showed radioresistance, growth arrested, but the structures remained intact, the recovery trend was still not observed at 96 h. The tissue-derived organoids from triple-negative patients also showed radiation tolerance. After irradiation, the organoids continued to grow without significant structural changes, whereas the growth trend was significantly smaller than that in the non-irradiated group.Conclusions:Breast cancer organoids formed by in vitro culture of breast cancer cells from different sources and different molecular types have microstructure and heterogeneity, which can reflect the expression of source tissue markers and show different radioresistance. Organoids derived from triple-negative breast cancer are more resistant to irradiation.

ABSTRACT
By removing a part of the structure, the tooth preparation provides restorative space, bonding surface, and finish line for various restorations on abutment. Preparation technique plays critical role in achieving the optimal result of tooth preparation. With successful application of microscope in endodontics for >30 years, there is a full expectation of microscopic dentistry. However, as relatively little progress has been made in the application of microscopic dentistry in prosthodontics, the following assumptions have been proposed: Is it suitable to choose the tooth preparation technique under the naked eye in the microscopic vision? Is there a more accurate preparation technology intended for the microscope? To obtain long-term stable therapeutic effects, is it much easier to achieve maximum tooth preservation and retinal protection and maintain periodontal tissue and oral function health under microscopic vision? Whether the microscopic prosthodontics is a gimmick or a breakthrough in obtaining an ideal tooth preparation should be resolved in microscopic tooth preparation. This article attempts to illustrate the concept, core elements, and indications of microscopic minimally invasive tooth preparation, physiological basis of dental pulp, periodontium and functions involved in tool preparation, position ergonomics and visual basis for dentists, comparison of tooth preparation by naked eyes and a microscope, and comparison of different designs of microscopic minimally invasive tooth preparation techniques. Furthermore, a clinical protocol for microscopic minimally invasive tooth preparation based on target restorative space guide plate has been put forward and new insights on the quantity and shape of microscopic minimally invasive tooth preparation has been provided.
ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate the effect of apatinib on the migration ability of nasopharyngeal carcinoma NPC cells after X-ray irradiation and involved protein expressions. Methods The migration abilities of human immortalized nasopharyngeal epithelial cells ( NP69) and nasopharyngeal carcinoma cells ( CNE-1, CNE-2 ) treated with different concentrations of apatinib ( 0, 5, 10 and 15 μmol/L) were compared by wound healing assay. The effect of apatinib on the activity of NPC cells was detected by CCK-8 for determining the suitable intervention concentration of apatinib. Then NPC cells were divided into control group, apatinib group (15 μmol/L), X-ray irradiation group and apatinib combined with X-ray irradiation group, and the migration ability of each group was compared by wound healing assay. The expressions of pVEGFR2, pSTAT3, STAT3, MMP-9 and EMT related proteins were detected by western blot. Results Compared with the NP69, the migration abilities of CNE-1 and CNE-2 were significantly enhanced ( t=-5. 759, -16. 578, P<0. 05) . Compared with the control group ( 0 μmol/L) , the migration ability of NPC cells after treatment with apatinib(5, 10 and 15 μmol/L) was significantly decreased in a concentration dependent manner ( t=2. 804-13. 362, P<0. 05) . Compared with the X-ray irradiation group, the wound healing rate of NPC cells in the apatinib combined with X-ray irradiation group was decreased ( t=5. 932, 2. 791, P<0. 05) , indicating that apatinib can significantly inhibit the migration of NPC cells after X-ray irradiation. Western blot assay showed that the expressions of pVEGFR2 and pSTAT3 were significantly decreased in NPC cells treated with apatinib, meanwhile, the expression of MMP-9 protein was significantly decreased, and the EMT-related protein was changed. Conclusions Apatinib inhibits migration of X-ray irradiated NPC cells by inhibiting EMT through down-regulating VEGFR2/STAT3/MMP-9 signaling pathway.
ABSTRACT
Three-dimensional cell culture is a novel type of in vitro culture method.This system can mimic the microenvironment of cell growth in vivo,where cells exhibit similar state and function to that in the in vivo environment.Currently,three-dimensional culture system has been widely applied in tissue engineering and tumor cell biology fields,etc.Radiotherapy is an important treatment of cancer.Radioresistance of tumor cells is the main cause of treatment failure,tumor recurrence and metastasis.Tumor cells can exhibit the resistant characteristics in the three-dimensional culture system,similar to those of tumor cells in vivo.Therefore,three-dimensional culture system can be adopted to investigate the radioresistance and underlying mechanism of tumor cells and identify the key factors regulating the radioresistance of tumor cells,which plays a pivotal role in enhancing the radioresistance and improving the effect of radiotherapy.This article will review recent research progress in the radioresistance and sensitization of tumor cells under three-dimensional culture system,aiming to provide reference for relevant investigations.
