ABSTRACT

Objective To investigate the effects and mechanisms of carbon monoxide-releasing molecule-2 (CORM-2) on LPS induced barrier injure of Caco-2 cells.Methods The model of Caco-2 monolayer cells damage induced by LPS was established by using 50 μg/ml LPS for 24 hours.After preconditioning with different concentrations (10 μmol/L,50 μmol/L,and 100 μ mol/L) of CORM-2 for 1 hour,the cultured well-grown Caco-2 monolayer cells were stimulated with 50 μ g/ml lipopolysaccharides (LPS) for 24 hour.The 100 μmol/L CORM-2 was put into 37℃ and 5% CO2 incubator for 18 hours until the CO has been fully released,and it became an inactive CORM-2(iCORM-2).The cultured Caco-2 monolayer cells were divided into six groups:the control group,the LPS group,the LC1(10 μmol /L CORM-2 preconditioning) group,the LC2(50 μmol/L CORM-2 preconditioning) group,the LC3(100 μmol/L CORM-2 preconditioning) group,and the LC4 (iCORM-2 preconditioning) group.The apoptosis rates of different groups of Caco-2 monolayer cells were detected using flow cytometry.Cytokines (TNF-α,IL-1β and HMGB-1) levels of different groups were detected using ELISA kits.The levels of tight junction proteins (occludin ZO-1,claudin-1 and claudin-4) of every group were detected using Western blotting with specific antibodies.The structural changes of tight junction proteins were visualized by immunofluorescence technique.Results Compared with control group,cell apoptosis rate and release of inflammatory cytokines such as TNF-α,IL-1β and HMGB-1 in LPS group were significantly higher,and the levels of tight junction proteins were apparently decreased (P<0.05) in LPS group.Compared with LPS group,cell apoptosis rate and release of inflammatory cytokines such as TNF-α,IL-1β and HMGB-1 decreased,and the levels of tight junction proteins were attenuated obviously,P<0.05,in CORM-2 preconditioning groups.And the higher the concentration of CORM-2,the more obvious the protective effects.Conclusions This study demonstrates that CORM-2,as one of exogenous CO-releasing molecules,has the capacity to protect the barrier damage of LPS-stimulated Caco-2 monolayer cells in a concentration dependent manner.The higher the concentration of CORM-2 was,the stronger the protective effects were.The protective effects of CORM-2 include reducing Caco-2 monolayer cells apoptosis rate,inhibiting inflammatory cytokines production and release,and restoring distribution and levels of tight junction proteins.

ABSTRACT

ObjectiveTo develop a new nested PCR to detect human papillomavirus (HPV) DNA in lesions of extragenital Bowen's disease.Methods DNA was extracted from the lesions of 41 patients with extragenital Bowen's disease and suhjected to the amplification of HPV by a nested PCR.Five primers,including CN1FR,CN2FR,CN3FR,CN4FR and CN5FR,were designed and used in the second round PCR.ResultsBased on the ClustalX analysis,69 HPV subtypes,including mucosal types,cutaneous types and epidermodysplasia verruciformis-associated types,could be amplified by using the 5 designed primers.The detection limit varied from 10-3 to 10-2 copies of HPV DNA for this PCR.Of the 41 lesional specimens,5 were positive for HPV DNA,including 3 cases of high-risk HPV types(2 cases of HPV 16,1 case of HPV 33) and 2 cases of cutaneous HPV types(1 case of HPV 27 and 1 case of HPV 76).ConclusionsThe improved nested PCR is highly sensitive and specific for the detection of HPV DNA in lesions of extragenital Bowen's disease.The development of extragenital Bowen's disease may be associated with the infection with high-risk mucosal HPV types in some patients.

ABSTRACT

Objective To assess the relationship between human papillomavirus (HPV) and extrageni-tal Bowen's disease. Methods Regular PCR with consensus primers for LI region as well as mix primers and nested PCR were performed to detect the DNA of a broad range of cutaneous and mucosal HPV types in tissue samples from lesions of 41 patients with extragenital Bowen's disease and from normal skin of 48 human controls. Semiquantitative PCR and tyramide-based in situ hybridization (ISH) were also conducted to determine the load and localization of HPV DNA in HPV-positive samples. Results HPV DNA was detected in lesions from 5 (12%) of the 41 patients with extragenital Bowen's disease. Of the 5 HPV-positive patients, 3 carried mucosal HPV types (HPV16 in 2 cases, HPV 33 in 1 case) with a viral load of 101 to 103 copies, 2 cutaneous HPV types (HPV27 in 1 case and HPV76 in 1 case). As ISH showed, there was a generalized expression of mucosal HPV DNA in most tumor cell nuclei but not in peritumoral normal tissue, and no expression of cutaneous HPV DNA was observed in lesions. HPV DNA was detected in 1 (2.1%) control tissue sample, which proved to be epidermodysplasia verruciformis-associated HPV23. There was no significant difference in the detection rate of HPV DNA between the patients and controls. The viral load of cutaneous HPV types amounted to 10-2 to 10-3 copies in the 2 patients, which was similar to that of HPV 23 in the normal control. Conclusion Mucosal HPV types may be closely associated with the development of extragenital Bowen's disease.

ABSTRACT

Objective To investigate the effects of low-dose of hydrocortisone on circulating thymus-dependent lymphocyte (T lymphocyte) apoptosis in patients with septic shock. Method fifty-seven patients with septic shock admitted into ICU from January 2006 to January 2009 were prospectively randomized (random number) to treatment group and control group. Another 20 healthy volunteers and 18 patients with sepsis alone were included as external control groups.The patients of treatment group and control group were treated with low-dose of hydrocortisone and placebo,respectively. Samples of peripheral blood were taken from healthy volunteers and patients 0 hr,24 hrs,48 hrs,72 hrs and 168 hrs after onset of the disease to determine the circulating T lymphocyte apoptosis by using the assays of Annexin V and flow cytometry. Least significant difference t -test was used for multiple comparisons. Results The percentage of Annexin V-positive CD4+ T lymphocytes in the primary stage was (11.01 +4.52)% in septic shock patients, (4.41 + 1.45)% in healthy volunteers, and (7.87 + 3. 82)% in patients with sepsis alone. And in the initial setting, the percentage of Annexin V-positive CD4+ T lymphocytes in the septic shock patients was higher than that in healthy volunteers ( P < 0.05) and in patients with sepsis alone ( P < 0.05). The percentage of Annexin V-positive CD8 + T lymphocytes at the beginning was (11.33+19.62)% in septic shock patients, (9.62+8.32)% in healthy volunteers, and (13.09+ 15.84)% in patients with sepsis alone (P > 0.05 between three groups). The percentages of Annexin V-positive CD4+ T lymphocytes in control group after 24 his, 48 hrs and 72 hrs were(13.51+6.85)%, (19.39 + 6.63)% and (15.33+ 6.21)%, respectively. And the percentages of Annexin V-positive CD4+ T lymphocytes in treatment patients after 24 hrs, 48 hrs and 72 hrs were (17.4 + 7.21)%, (22.61 + 5.64)%, and (25.73 + 6.91)%, respectively. The percentage of Annexin V-positive CD4+ T lymphocytes in septic shock patients was higher than that in control groups ( P < 0.05). The percentages of Annexin V-positive CD8+ T lymphocytes in control group after 24 hrs, 48 hrs and 72 hrs were (11.49+ 11.73)%, (12.74+ 10.39)% and (13.28+ 16.6)%, respectively, and in the treatment group, those were (9.49 + 8.9)%, (15.32+18.17)% and (13.68+16.84)%, respectively (P >0.05 between two groups). In the meantime, the percentages of Annexin V-positive CDS'1' T lymphocytes in control group and in treatment group were (12.72+ 19.69)% and (13.88 + 13.28)%, respectively (P >0.05). Conclusions Low-dose of hydrocortisone could induce CD4+ T lymphocyte apoptosis and has no effects on CD8+ T lymphocyte apoptosis when it is used to treat septic shock.

ABSTRACT

BACKGROUND:Study on antisense drug is still one of hotspots in the current field of biomedicine. Due to high-efficiency and specificity, antisense drug used for gene therapy has been paid more attention by many scholars.OBJECTIVE: To observe the effect of liposome-mediated keratin 14 (K14) antisense oligonucleotide on K14 gene and protein expressions as well as in vitro proliferation activities in human keratinocytes (KC).DESIGN: Single sample observation.SETTING: Department of Dermatology, Xijing Hospital, Fourth Military Medical University of Chinese PLA.MATERIALS: Human KC, K14 oligonucleotide gene fragments (modified with phosphrothioate, and above sequence was synthesized by Shanghai Shenggong Bioengineering Company). Reverse transcriptase and TaqDNA polymerase were purchased from Invitrogen Company, K14 monoclonal antibody was purchased from Antibody Company, and SABC kit was purchased from Boster Company. EPICS-PRO-FILE Ⅱ flow cytometer was purchased from Coulter Company (USA).METHODS: Human epidermal KCs were primarily cultured, and their 3rd to 10th generations were used for the experiment.Artificially synthesized sense and antisense as well as mismatched K14 oligonucleotide gene fragments were introduced into KCs by means of liposome. Blank control group were set. The effects of antisense oligonucleotide on the cell cycle,K14 gene and protein expressions of KCs were detected by flow cytometer, reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction and SABC methods.MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Effect of oligonucleotide transfecting human KCs on the proliferation of KCs and K14 expression.RESULTS: [1]The electrophoresis of reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction products: Specific K14 gene band appeared in each group, and K14 gene expression in the antisense group was significantly lower in the sense group,missense group and blank control group. K14/β-actin value was similar among sense group, missense group and blank control group (P > 0.05), But K14/β-actin value was significantly lower in the antisense group than in the above-mentioned 3 groups (F =47.554, P < 0.01). ②K14 protein expression detected by immunohistochemical method:K14 was expressed in all the cultured KCs at different levels, and was obviously reduced after antisense oligonucleotide being added. 20 μmol/L antisense oligonucleotide could markedly inhibit K14 expression; K14 expression did not change in the control group. ③ DNA level change detected by flow cytometer: After being treated by K14 antisense oligonucleotide for 48 hours, human epidermal KCs were significantly increased at G1 stage (74.6%), and were markedly decreased at S stage (19.4%). Such changes were not found in the antisense group, missense group and blank control group.CONCLUSION: Antisense oligonucleotide can specifically inhibit K14 synthesis, and thereby, inhibit the proliferation of human KCs.
