ABSTRACT

ObjectiveTo explore the protective effect and mechanism of Qihong Tongluo prescription on vascular endothelial cells in rats with deep venous thrombosis (DVT). MethodSixty-six SD rats were randomly divided into a blank group (n=11) and a modeling group (n=55). The DVT model was induced in rats of the modeling group by slowing down blood flow and damaging vascular endothelium. The model rats were randomly divided into model group, aspirin group (200 mg·kg-1), and low-,medium-, and high-dose Qihong Tongluo prescription groups (6.5, 13, 26 g·kg-1) according to a random number table. Rats were treated with corresponding drugs by gavage, while those in the model group and the blank group received normal saline, once per day for 7 days. The rats were sacrificed and the abdominal aortic blood was taken. The levels of serum endothelin-1 (ET-1) and interleukin-6 (IL-6) were detected by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Hematoxylin-eosin (HE) staining was used to observe the pathological changes in vascular endothelial tissues. The ultrastructure of vascular endothelial cells was observed by the transmission electron microscope. The viability of vascular endothelial cells was detected by methylthiazolyldiphenyl-tetrazolium bromide (MTT) method,and the release level of lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) was detected by the LDH kit. The messenger ribonucleic acid (mRNA) expression of platelet-activating factor (PAF),nuclear transcription factor κB (NF-κB),Ras-related C3 botulinum toxin substrate 1 (Rac1), and Ras-related C3 botulinum toxin substrate 2 (Rac2) in vascular endothelial tissues were detected by real-time reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (Real-time PCR). The protein expression of PAF,NF-κB,Rac1, and Rac2 in vascular endothelial tissues was detected by Western blot. ResultThe model group showed seriously damaged and swollen vascular endothelial cells with massive shedding, attachment of massive inflammatory cells, nucleus pyknosis and deformation under the electron microscope, highly swollen mitochondria, serious cytoplasmic vacuolation,and exposure of internal elastic membrane. The damage of vascular endothelium and its ultrastructure in Qihong Tongluo prescription groups and the aspirin group was improved in varying degrees. Compared with the blank group,the model group showed increased levels of serum ET-1 and IL-6,potentiated vascular endothelial cell viability, up-regulated mRNA and protein expression of PAF,NF-κB,Rac1, and Rac2 in vascular endothelial tissues,and decreased LDH release level of vascular endothelial cells (P<0.05). Compared with the model group,the aspirin group and the Qihong Tongluo prescription groups showed decreased levels of serum ET-1 and IL-6,blunted vascular endothelial cell viability,down-regulated mRNA and protein expression of PAF,NF-κB,Rac1, and Rac2 in vascular endothelial tissues,and increased LDH release level of vascular endothelial cells (P<0.05). The effect of Qihong Tongluo prescription was dose-dependent. ConclusionQihong Tongluo prescription has a protective effect on vascular endothelial cells of DVT rats and can prevent and treat thrombosis,and its therapeutic effect is presumably achieved by inhibiting the expression of PAF,NF-κB,Rac1,and Rac2 and reducing the levels of serum ET-1 and IL-6.

ABSTRACT

Objective To fabricate an anti?tuberculosis controlled drug release coating with Ti?PDA?PEG?PLGA?INH and to investigate its surface characteristics, in vivo and in vitro drug release behavior, and tissue biocompatibility. Methods 4?arm?polyethylene glycol (PEG) was synthesized first. Then cover the surface of titanium (Ti) with a layer of poly dopamine (PDA) by Michael addition reaction. Use porous starch and 4?arm?PEG as a carrier, load with isoniazid (INH), then attach to the surface of titanium by casting or sol?gel dip coating methods, and then cover with a layer of poly lactic?co?glycolic acid (PLGA) by the same method, to fabricate the Ti?PDA?PEG?PLGA?INH composite coating finally. The functional group of 4?arm?PEG was charac?terized by proton nuclear resonance spectroscopy (HNMR). The surface characteristics of Ti?PDA?PEG?PLGA?INH were evaluated by scanning electron microscope (SEM), while drug release behaviors were detected by high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) and the cumulative release rate was calculated, and carry out the antibacterial performance in vitro. The animal model of femoral condyle bone defect was established in 25 New Zealand white rabbits. Titanium rods covered with PDA?PEG?PLGA?INH coating were implanted into defect area. INH concentrations were detected by HPLC in venous blood, muscle and bone tissue at each time point postoperatively. Another 12 rabbits were randomly divided into experimental group and control group, the experi?mental group was implanted with titanium tablets and titanium rods coated with PDA?PEG?PLGA?INH in the paraspinous muscle and left femoral condyles respectively, while the control group was implanted with a blank sheet of titanium tablets and titanium rods in the same place. Hematoxylin and Eosin Staining were used to observe the biocompatibility of the composite system in vivo at 28 and 56 days postoperatively. Results Ti?PDA?PEG?PLGA?INH controlled drug release coating uniformly distributed on the surface of plates and rods, with translucent form and smooth surface. In vitro INH release kinetics exhibited a short?burst release during the first 8h, and the cumulative release of the INH was about 65%. On the 9th day, the cumulative release of the INH was about 90%, and then the release tended to be flat, and the drug release behavior in vitro continued more than 20d. In vivo release test showed that the concentration of INH in vein blood, muscle and bone tissue around the composite system was increased steadi?ly postoperatively. On about the 28th day, the concentration reached the max. However, the INH concentrations in muscle and bone tissue around the composite system were still higher than the minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) on the 56th day. The antibacterial test in vitro showed that the titanium tablets coated with PDA?PEG?PLGA?INH formed obvious bacterial inhibition zones. The pathological results indicated that mild inflammatory reaction was seen in the 4th week postoperatively, and the reac?tive capsule formed with loose connective tissue. In the 8th week postoperatively, there's no obvious inflammation occurred, and the reactive capsule became more dense and thicker. Conclusion The study successfully fabricated the Ti?PDA?PEG?PLGA?INH anti?tuberculosis controlled drug release coating, with reasonable release behavior both in vivo and in vitro, effective antibac?terial effect of Mycobacterium tuberculosis in vitro and good tissue biocompatibility, which is a potentially effective drug delivery system for spinal tuberculosis.

ABSTRACT

Focal adhesion kinase (FAK) plays a critical role in the process of cell adhesion and migration by regulating the expression of downstream small G proteins. A kind of focal adhesion kinase (FAK) inhibitor was used to inhibit the phosphorylation of Y397 site of FAK, and scratch wound migration assay was used to examine the effect of FAK inhibitor with different concentrations (0-250 nmol/mL) on the migration of hepatomal cells (Hep G2 cells) at 0, 2, 4, 8 and 24h. Immunofluorescence analysis and Western blot analysis were performed to detect the expression of F-actin and small G proteins Rac1, RhoA and Cdc42 in Hep G2 cells treated with FAK inhibitor for 120 min. The results indicated that the FAK inhibitor can inhibit the migration of Hep G2 cells with a dose- and time-dependent manner. F-actin was down-regulated in Hep G2 cells treated with FAK inhibitor for 120 min, and expression of small G proteins were inhibited at different durations. The inhibition of FAK phosphorylation could inhibit cell adhesion and migration by down-regulating small G proteins. These results suggested that FAK inhibitor can inhibit the migration of tumor cells by blocking FAK phosphorylation. This means that FAK inhibitor can block the metastasis of tumor cells to surrounding tissues. It may be a potential application in the prevention and treatment of cancer.
