ABSTRACT

Abstract Background: Chronic heart failure (CHF) is a complex syndrome which comprises structural and functional alterations in the heart in maintaining the adequate blood demand to all tissues. Few investigations sought to evaluate oxidative DNA damage in CHF. Objective: To quantify the DNA damage using the comet assay in left ventricle (LV), lungs, diaphragm, gastrocnemius and soleus in rats with CHF. Methods: Twelve male Wistar rats (300 to 330 g) were selected for the study: Sham (n = 6) and CHF (n = 6). The animals underwent myocardial infarction by the ligation of the left coronary artery. After six weeks, the animals were euthanized. It was performed a cell suspension of the tissues. The comet assay was performed to evaluate single and double strand breaks in DNA. Significance level (p) considered < 0.05. Results: The CHF group showed higher values of left ventricle end-diastolic pressure (LVEDP), pulmonary congestion, cardiac hypertrophy and lower values of maximal positive and negative derivatives of LV pressure, LV systolic pressure (p < 0.05). CHF group showed higher DNA damage (% tail DNA, tail moment and Olive tail moment) compared to Sham (p < 0.001). The tissue with the highest damage was the soleus, compared to LV and gastrocnemius in CHF group (p < 0.05). Conclusion: Our results indicates that the CHF affects all tissues, both centrally and peripherically, being more affected in skeletal muscle (soleus) and is positively correlated with LV dysfunction.


Resumo Fundamento: A insuficiência cardíaca crônica (ICC) é uma síndrome complexa que compreende alterações estruturais e funcionais no coração, mantendo demanda sanguínea adequada a todos os tecidos. Poucas investigações procuraram avaliar o dano oxidativo ao DNA na ICC. Objetivo: Quantificar o dano ao DNA utilizando o ensaio cometa no ventrículo esquerdo (VE), pulmões, diafragma, gastrocnêmio e sóleo em ratos com ICC. Métodos: Doze ratos Wistar machos (300 a 330 g) foram selecionados para o estudo: placebo (n = 6) e ICC (n = 6). Os animais foram submetidos a infarto do miocárdio através de ligadura da artéria coronária esquerda. Após seis semanas, os animais foram sacrificados. Foi realizada uma suspensão celular dos tecidos. O ensaio cometa foi realizado para avaliar as quebras de fita simples e dupla no DNA. Nível de significância (p) < 0,05. Resultados: O grupo ICC apresentou maiores valores de pressão diastólica final do ventrículo esquerdo (PDFVE), congestão pulmonar, hipertrofia cardíaca e menores valores de derivados máximos positivos e negativos da pressão do VE, pressão sistólica do VE (p < 0,05). O grupo ICC apresentou maior dano ao DNA (% de DNA da cauda, momento da cauda e momento da cauda de Olive) em comparação ao placebo (p < 0,001). O tecido com maior dano foi o sóleo, comparado ao VE e ao gastrocnêmio no grupo ICC (p < 0,05). Conclusão: Nossos resultados indicam que a ICC afeta todos os tecidos, de maneira central e periférica, sendo mais afetada no músculo esquelético (sóleo) e está positivamente correlacionada com a disfunção do VE.

ABSTRACT

ObjectiveTo investigate the dynamic expression of Mindin protein in mice with acute liver injury induced by carbon tetrachloride (CCl4) and its mechanism of action. MethodsA total of 48 male C57B1/6 mice were selected and divided into experimental group (n=40) and control group (n=8). The mice in the experimental group were given intraperitoneal injection of CCl4 olive oil to induce acute liver injury, and the liver tissue was collected for pathological observation at 6, 12, 24, 48, and 72 hours after modeling. The mice in the control group were given intraperitoneal injection of olive oil. Western blot was used to measure the protein expression of Mindin and its change trend, and quantitative real-time PCR was used to measure the mRNA expression of Mindin. The t-test was used for comparison of continuous data between two groups. ResultsAbnormal liver structure was observed after liver injury was induced by CCl4, with the most significant pathological change at 48 hours. There was a low protein expression level of Mindin within 12-72 hours after the injection of CCl4. The mRNA expression of Mindin reached the lowest level at 12 hours after CCl4 injection and there was a significant difference between the experimental group and the control group at this time point (0.183±0.105 vs 1.023±0.247, t=8.841, P<0.01); then there was a gradual increase in the mRNA expression of Mindin, and at 48 and 72 hours, the mRNA expression of Mindin in the experimental group was more than 2 times that in the control group (48 hours: 2.548±0.775 vs 1.023±0.247, t=5.428, P<0.01; 72 hours: 2.699±0995 vs 1.023±0.247, t=4.621, P<0.01). ConclusionThere is a significant change in Mindin protein during the process of acute liver injury induced by CCl4 in mice, which is characterized by the downregulation of protein expression and the regulation of post-transcriptional mRNA level, suggesting that Mindin may play an important role in the process of acute liver injury induced by CCl4.

ABSTRACT

ABSTRACT Introduction: It is generally accepted that the capillary network decreases with advancing age. The combined effect of resistance training (RT) and testosterone still needs to be elucidated. Objective: This study aimed to measure capillary profile of different skeletal muscles of middle-aged rats undergoing RT and administration of exogenous testosterone. Methods: Wistar rats were divided into five experimental groups: control with 13-month-old rats (SC), control with 16-month-old rats (SE), aged rats + anabolic agent (SA), aged rats + RT (T), and aged rats + RT + anabolic agent (TA). Results: For soleus, the SE group presented a decrease in the percentage of capillaries in comparison to SC group. SA, T, and TA groups had increased capillary volume in comparison to SC. As for the extensor digitorum longus (EDL), SA, T, and TA groups demonstrated lower capillary volume and numeric density in comparison to SC and SE. The EDL of the T and TA groups presented 70% less capillaries than soleus. The numerical and volumetric density and capillary ratio by muscle fiber were not statistically altered by any intervention. The cross-sectional area (CSA) of the soleus of the SA, T and TA groups was statistically different from SC group. The soleus CSA was greater in the TA and T groups than in the SC, SE and SA groups, and the EDL CSA was greater in the TA compared to all other groups. The TA group had greater values than the SE, SA, and T groups. Conclusion: The type of intervention used did not affect any variables measured in the capillary profile. However, the use of anabolic steroid and/or RT showed a tendency to decrease the density of capillaries in the EDL.


RESUMO Introdução: Em geral, se aceita que a rede capilar diminui com o avanço da idade. O efeito combinado de treinamento resistido (TR) e testosterona ainda precisa ser elucidado. Objetivo: Este estudo visou medir o perfil capilar de diferentes músculos esqueléticos em ratos de meia-idade submetidos a TR e administração de testosterona exógena. Métodos: Ratos Wistar foram divididos em cinco grupos experimentais: controle com ratos de 13 meses de idade (SC), controle com ratos de 16 meses de idade (SE), ratos idosos + anabolizante (SA), ratos idosos + TR (T) e ratos idosos + TR + anabolizante (TA) . Resultados: Para o músculo sóleo, o grupo SE apresentou decréscimo do percentual de capilares em comparação com o grupo SC. Os grupos SA, T e TA tiveram aumento do volume de capilares em comparação com o SC. Por outro lado, para o músculo extensor longo dos dedos (ELD), os grupos SA, T e TA demonstraram menor volume e densidade numérica de capilares, em comparação com SC e SE. O músculo ELD dos grupos T e TA apresentou 70% menos capilares do que o sóleo. A densidade numérica e volumétrica e a razão de capilares por fibra muscular não foram estatisticamente alteradas por nenhuma das intervenções. A área de corte transversal (ACT) do músculo sóleo dos grupos SA, T e TA foi estatisticamente diferente do grupo SC. A ACT do sóleo foi maior nos grupos TA e T do que nos grupos SC, SE e SA e a ACT do ELD foi maior no grupo TA comparada com todos os outros grupos. O grupo TA teve valores maiores do que os grupos SE, SA e T. Conclusão: O tipo de intervenção usada não afetou qualquer variável mensurada do perfil capilar. Entretanto, o uso de esteroide anabolizante e/ou TR mostrou tendência de diminuir a densidade de capilares no músculo ELD.

ABSTRACT

Objective To study the effects of ethanol extract of rhizoma phragmitis on liver glycogen content and glycogen synthetase (GS) in streptozotocin (STZ) induced diabetic mice. Methods The diabetic model mice were divided in-to model control group, high-dose group and low-dose group, 10 mice for each group. Another 10 normal mice were used as control group. The liver glycogen content was detected by histochemical staining of glycogen (PAS) method. The expression of GS mRNA was detected by reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) and Western blot assays. Results After PAS staining the hepatic glycogen content decreased significantly in model control group, and which was significantly increased in low-dose group and high-dose group compared with that of model control group (P<0.01). The hepatic glyco-gen content was the highest in high-dose group compared with that of other three groups. The levels of GS mRNA and GS protein were significantly lower in model control group than those of other three groups, which were significantly lower in low-dose group than those of high-dose group (P<0.05). Conclusion There is a dose-dependent effect of ethanol extract of rhizoma phragmitis on liver glycogen in STZ induced diabetic mice, which may be related with the increased expression of liver glycogen synthetase.

ABSTRACT

Objective To establish a method of cultivation of dendritic cells (DC) from mouse bone marrow in vitro and identify their phenotype and function. Methods Under aseptic condition, bone marrow cells were extracted from the tibia and femur bones of BALB/c mice. Bone marrow cells were cultured with recombinant mouse granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor ( rmGM-CSF) in vitro. The expansion and morphological changes of DC were observed with light inverted microscope. Phenotype was identified with flow cytometry and biological function was studied with antigen phagocytosis test. Results A large number of immature and mature DC with typical dendritic morphological characteristics could be generated from murine bone marrow. Immature DC, which had high expression in CD11c and low expression in CD40, MHC-II and CD86, could phagocytize antigen. Mature DC, which could be induced from immature DC by lipopolysaccharides, had high expression in CD11c, CD40, CD86 and MHC-II molecules. Conclusion Immature and mature DC can be generated from mouse bone marrow cells through cytokine induction in vitro and be used for further study associated with DC.

ABSTRACT

Objective To initially observe the antitumor immune of PVAX1-HPV58mE6E7FcGB composite DNA vaccine.Methods Before detecting immune effect of the vaccine,the B16-HPV58E6E7 tumor cell line was built which could steadily express HPV58E6E7 fusion gene.Then,HPV58E6E7-GST fusion protein as an antigen was expressed and purified.Before or after immunized with the vaccine,the C57BL/6 mice were challenged by B16-HPV58E6E7 cells.Anti-tumor transplantation and tumor growth inhibition experiment were performed to observe prevention and treatment effects on the vaccine.Specific humoral and cellular immune responses in the immunized mice were detected by ELISA,enzyme linked immunospot assay (ELISPOT) and cytotoxic T lymphocyte (CTL) method.Results In the anti-tumor transplantation experiment,tumor formation rate was only 9/15 in the mice which were immunized by PVAX1-HPV58mE6E7FcGB vaccine,time before tumor formation was the longest [(13.6 ± 1.7) days] and tumor growth was the slowest in the vaccine group.In tumor growth inhibition experiment,inhibition rate reached 81.4% in the vaccine group.Except tumor formation rate,all data in the vaccine group was superior to the pure antigen PVAX1-HPV58mE6E7Fc group (P < 0.05).Humoral immune effect showed that both the vaccine and the pure antigen could induce specific antibody in the immunized mice,and the highest titer were 1 ∶ 25600 and 1 ∶ 12800,respectively.Although there was not significant difference of antibody titer between the vaccine and the pure antigen group (P > 0.05),the number of activated T cells in the vaccine group was almost four times as that in the pure antigen group [(219 ±34)/4 × 105 spleen lymphocytes versus (55 ±25)/4 × 105 spleen lymphocytes,P < 0.05],and the highest specific CTL that vaccine induced was significantly higher than that of pure antigen (43.3% versus 31.3%,P < 0.05).Conclusions Humoral and cellular immune response could be effectively stimulated by PVAX1-HPV58mE6E7FcGB composite DNA vaccine.Growth of B16-HPV58E6E7 cells was significantly inhibited in the immunized mice.The cellular immune effect on the vaccine was superior to the pure antigen.Therefore,PVAX1-HPV58mE6E7FcGB could be used as a candidate vaccine for immune therapy to the HPV58 positive tumors and precancerous lesions.

ABSTRACT

Tissue sections of gastrointestinal tract of Wistar rats were stained with PAS,AB (pH 2.5) and HID/AB (pH 2.5) techniques (O study the distribution patterns of epithelial muco-substances in the gastrointestinal tract and the distribution patterns of Wistar rats and human adults were compared.It was found that Wistar rats and human adults had similar distribution patterns throughout the gastrointestinal tract except the small intestines.Neutral mucosubstance was most abundant in the stomach and there was a small amount of sialomucin in the base of the lesser curvature and the neck of the gastric glands.From the proximal down to the distal colon,there was a progressive decrease of nuutral mucosubstance and sialomucin but a progressive increase of sulfo-mucin.The distribution patterns were apparently different between the right and left halves of the colon.In the small intestines,sulfomucin was present in the jejunum and ileum in Wistar rats but only in the terminal ileum in human beings.The histochemical observations of mucosubstance distribution in the normal gastrointestinal tract of Wistar rats and human adults can provide valuable criteria for experimental of clinical studies of various pathological conditions.
