ABSTRACT
Objective:To demonstrate the polymorphism of α chain of bovine major histocompatibility complex(BoLA)classⅠmolecule and domain binding constant chain(Ii).Methods:Total 75 BoLA Iα genes were obtained from three Huaibei cattle and analyzed by molecular biology software;the genes of typical BoLA Iα domains and Ii were cloned,and then inserted into prokaryotic expression plasmid.After induced protein expression;the domains of BoLA Ⅰα chain binding to Ii were detected by pull-down meth-od and Western blot.The recombinant eukaryotic expression plasmids were constructed and the co-localization of BoLA Iα segments with Ii was observed by laser confocal microscopy.Results:Firstly,it was found that there were at least 5 kinds of BoLA Iα in the cloned gene sequence,which were highly polymorphic and they were mainly distributed in the antigen peptide binding region(PBR)of BoLA Ⅰ(α1α2)and cytoplasmic region.Secondly,the prokaryotic recombinant plasmids containing BoLA Ⅰα1α2α3,BoLA Ⅰα1α2 or BoLA Ⅰα 3 were constructed,then they were respectively induced to express and purified,in which,the BoLA Ⅰα1α2α3 and BoLA Ⅰα1α2 had the activity of binding to Ii.Finally,in 293T cells BoLA Ⅰα1α 2α3 or BoLA Ⅰα1α2 was found that could co-localize with Ii,while a single BoLA Ⅰα3 could not.Conclusion:BoLA Ⅰα gene is highly polymorphic.BoLA Ⅰα1α2 is a func-tional fragment that binds to Ii and co-locates intracellular.
ABSTRACT
Objective To investigated the protective effect and immunology mechanism of Astragaloside Ⅳ(Ast) on rat renal ischemia-reperfusion injury model. Methods The SD rats were randomly divided into four group as the control, sham-operation, renal ischemia-reperfusion injury, and Ast treatment groups. Rat serum and urine were collected and detective for kidney function and interleukin cytokines. The kidney tissue was collected for histology exam. The rats in astragaloside group were intraperitoneally injected with 100 mg/kg astragaloside, and the other three groups were intraperitoneally injected with an equal volume of normal saline. The models of renal ischemia-reperfusion injury were prepared to generate in model and astragaloside groups, after 30 minutes of astragaloside injection. The rats with renal ischemia-reperfusion injury model were sacrificed after 24 hours, and the level of blood-urine creatinine, neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin and Kidney damage molecule-1 were determined. The level of Th1 type cytokines (TNF-α, IFN-γ, IL-2) and Th2 type cytokines (IL-4, IL-5, IL-10) in serum were measured by using ELISA. The protein and gene expression of TNF-α, IFN-γ, IL-2, IL-4, IL-5, IL-10 in renal tissue were tested by western blot and PCR, respectively. The pathological changes and apoptosis of renal tissue in each group were detected by HE staining and TUNEL staining, respectively. The expression of CD20 protein in renal tissue was determined by immunohistochemistry. Results Compared with the model group, Ast treatment reduced serum creatinine (58.74 ± 9.44 μmol/L vs. 85.03 ± 23.48 μmol/L), increased creatinine clearance rate (0.81 ± 0.13 ml/min vs. 0.37 ± 0.08 ml/min), and reduce urine neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin (NGAL) (579.34 ± 11.70 pg/ml vs. 827.60 ± 14.48 pg/ml), kidney injury molecule-1 (KIM-1) (105.06 ± 2.10 pg/ml vs. 151.67 ± 3.06 pg/ml) (P<0.05). Compared with the model group, Ast treatment alleviated renal tubular epithelial cell injury and significantly decreased the apoptosis (14.36 ± 1.36% vs. 28.63 ± 2.03%) (P<0.05), and significantly decreased the serum TNF-α (361.44 ± 9.66 pg/ml vs. 515.93 ± 10.61 pg/ml), IFN-γ (64.11 ± 1.21 pg/ml vs. 93.51 ± 2.15 pg/ml), IL-2 (388.33 ± 1.21 pg/ml vs. 557.82 ± 15.29 pg/ml), IL-4 (60.89 ± 1.21 pg/ml vs. 95.56 ± 2.75 pg/ml), IL-5 (94.02 ± 2.81 pg/ml vs. 147.07 ± 3.50 pg/ml), and IL-10 (52.62 ± 2.51 pg/ml vs. 78.22 ± 3.24 pg/ml) (P<0.01). Compared with the model group, Ast treatment significantly decreased the kidney TNF-α mRNA (1.89 ± 0.59 vs. 2.87 ± 0.97), IFN-γ mRNA (3.11 ± 1.02 vs. 5.98 ± 1.52), IL-2 mRNA (1.68 ± 0.44 vs. 4.09 ± 1.65), IL-4 mRNA (2.41 ± 0.81 vs. 4.69 ± 1.62), IL-5 mRNA (1.56 ± 0.19 vs. 2.92 ± 0.55), IL-10 mRNA (1.45 ± 0.14 vs. 2.85 ± 0.32) (P<0.01). The ratio of IL-4 to IFN-γ was basically restored to the level of sham operation group (1.05 ± 0.02 vs. 1.02 ± 0.06) (P<0.01), and CD20 cells in renal tissue was reduced. Conclusions The Th1 and B lymphocytes play an important role in renal ischemia reperfusion injury, and Th2 cells play a protective role. Astragaloside can regulate the imbalance of Th1/Th2 in the early stage after acute renal injury, and alleviate renal tubular injury.
ABSTRACT
Objective@#To summarize the clinical presentations and imaging features of cerebral venous sinus thrombosis (CVST) in 5 newborns.@*Methods@#The clinical data of 5 newborns with CVST admitted to Department of Neonatology of Maternal and Children Hospital of Hubei Province from February 2017 to April 2018 were analyzed retrospectively. The risk factors, clinical presentations, imaging manifestations and treatment of CVST were investigated.@*Results@#Of the 5 full term neonates, 4 were males and 1 female, with 4 aged less than 7 days and 1 more than 7 days; one with the history of maternal gestational diabetes mellitus, one with maternal gestational hypertension. The clinical presentations included seizures (3 cases), fever (3 cases), dehydration (1 cases), lethargy (2 cases), hypoglycemia (2 cases), thrombocytopenia (2 cases). Electroencephalogram (EEG) showed electrical seizures in 3 cases. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and magnetic resonance venography (MRV) showed 4 cases of intracranial hemorrhage, 3 cases of cerebral parenchymal infarction. For the sites of the thrombi, 4 were in the superior sagittal sinus, 3 in straight sinus, 2 in transverse sinus and 1 in sinus confluence. CT showed intracranial hemorrhage in 2 cases and venous sinus dilatation in 2 cases. Doppler ultrasound showed 2 cases of intraventricular hemorrhage and 2 cases of changes of venous sinus blood flow. Three neonates were treated with anticoagulant and thrombolytic therapy, followed by recanalization of the veins and discontinuing of seizures.@*Conclusions@#Seizure is the main clinical presentation of CVST. The main radiologic manifestations are cerebral infarction and hemorrhage. Timely brain MRI and MRV are helpful in the early diagnosis and treatment of CVST.
