Lentivirus-mediated silencing of P75 neurotrophin receptor combined with nerve growth factor overexpression and transfection of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells combined with demineralized bone matrix for heterotopic osteogenesis / 中国修复重建外科杂志

Objective: To investigate the effects of silencing P75 neurotrophin receptor (P75NTR) and nerve growth factor (NGF) overexpression on the proliferative activity and ectopic osteogenesis ability of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) combined with demineralized bone matrix for heterotopic osteogenesis. Methods: BMSCs of Sprague Dawley (SD) rats were cultured and passaged by adherent isolation method. The third generation BMSCs were transfected with lentivirus mediated P75NTR gene silencing (group B), NGF overexpression gene (group C), P75NTR silencing and NGF overexpression double genes (group D), respectively, and untransfected cells as control (group A). After 7 days of transfection, the expression of fluorescent protein of the target gene was observed by fluorescence microscope; cell counting kit 8 method was used to detect the cells activity for 8 days after transfection; the expressions of P75NTR and NGF proteins in each group were detected by Western blot. The adhesion of BMSCs to demineralized bone matrix (DBM) was observed by inverted phase contrast microscope and scanning electron microscope after transfection of p75NTR silencing and NGF overexpression double genes. After transfection, BMSCs and DBM were co-cultured to prepare 4 groups of tissue engineered bone, which were respectively placed in the dorsal subcutaneous tissue of 8-week-old SD rats to construct subcutaneous ectopic osteogenesis model ( n=6). HE staining was performed at 4 and 8 weeks after operation. ALP staining was used to observe the formation of calcium nodules at 8 weeks after operation. The expressions of Runt-related transcription factor 2 (Runx2), alkaline phosphatase (ALP), and osteocalcin (OCN) were detected by real-time fluorescent quantitative PCR. Results: At 7 days after transfection, there was no fluorescence expression in group A, red fluorescence expression was seen in group B, green fluorescence expression in group C, and red-green compound fluorescence expression in group D. The fluorescence expression rate of target gene was about 70%. Western blot detection showed that the relative expression of P75NTR protein in groups A and C was significantly higher than that in groups B and D, and the relative expression of NGF protein in groups C and D was significantly higher than that in groups A and B ( P<0.05). With the passage of time, the cell proliferation activity increased in all groups, especially in group D, which was significantly higher than that in group A at 3-8 days ( P<0.05). The results of inverted phase contrast microscope and scanning electron microscope showed that BMSCs could adhere well to DBM. In the subcutaneous ectopic osteogenesis experiment, HE staining showed that at 4 and 8 weeks after operation, the more bone tissue was formed in group D than in the other 3 groups. ALP staining showed that group D had the highest ALP activity and better osteogenic expression. Compared with group A, the relative expressions of Runx2, ALP, and OCN mRNAs in group D were significantly higher than those in group A ( P<0.05). Conclusion: Silencing P75NTR and NGF overexpression double genes co-transfected BMSCs with DBM to construct tissue engineered bone has good ectopic osteogenic ability. By increasing NGF level and closing P75NTR apoptosis channel, it can not only improve cell activity, but also promote bone tissue regeneration.

Quantitative Study of Yang-tonifying Herbs Distributing to Kidney Meridian by Using Maximum Similarity Algorithm / 中国实验方剂学杂志

Objective: To set a criterion for determining whether herbs distribute to kidney meridian from the perspective of tissue expression of protein receptors, so as to provide new ideas and a new method for the quantitative study of meridian tropism. Method: The 9 Yang-tonifying herbs were selected as the training set, and 2 Yang-tonifying herbs were used as the verification set. The TCMSP2.3,PubChem,Uniprot and other database were used to collect the active compounds and targets of traditional Chinese medicine(TCM). The core target proteins of Yang-tonifying herbs were obtained by using the Maximum Similarity Algorithm for TCM in the training set. The THPA database was used to collect expressions of tissues and target proteins. The empirical regression equation was constructed to explore the tissue distribution of the receptors in the training set, and the criterion for determining whether herbs distribute to kidney meridian was established. The criteria model was tested through validation set data. Result: The herb-active ingredient-protein receptor-tissue expression data library was constructed. A total of 39 core target proteins of Yang-tonifying herbs were acquired. The equations in the training set were highly consistent, with no statistical difference (P=0.999 7). The data of the combined training set was finally fitted to a judgment equation. The model was successfully tested with herbs in the validation set. The accuracy of the model was 100%. Conclusion: This study explored a new method for judging whether TCM distributes to kidney meridian, established an effective criterion model and verified the reliability of the new method. It provides a theoretical basis for the modernization of meridian tropism of traditional Chinese medicine, and is of great significance for the rapid development of traditional Chinese medicine.

Whole Exome Sequencing Reveals A Novel Frameshift Mutation in the BMPR2 Gene in A Chinese Family With Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension / 中国循环杂志

Objectives: To investigate the genetic mutation in a Chinese family with Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension (PAH). Methods: Whole exome sequencing was performed in two patients and two healthy family members in the PAH pedigree. Patient-specific variations were screened by bioinformatics methods and compared between groups. To further identify the association between these variations and PAH, Sanger sequencing was used to analyze the genotype of PAH patients and 100 healthy controls. Results: Two affected persons were found among the eight family members. The patients was presented as dyspnea after exercise, and right-heart catheterization was performed to measure the mean pulmonary arterial pressure (mPAP, 77 mmHg), cardiac output (CO, 4.92 L/min), and pulmonary vascular resistance (PVR, 13.4 Wood units). The hereditary characteristic in this family presented in mother and child, suggesting an autosomal dominant patter. Exome sequencing, mutation detection and sanger variants validation revealed a novel heterozygous frameshift mutation (c.747_748 insCCTTTGATGGAACATGA:p.V250fs) in the BMPR2 gene. Meanwhile, this heterozygous insertion mutation was absent in 100 ethnically matched control samples screened by direct sanger sequencing. Conclusions: Our study revealed a novel heterozygous frameshift mutation in the BMPR2 gene, expanding the BMPR2 mutation spectrums.

Clinical Presentation with High Penetrance in a Korean Family with Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension Associated with a BMPR2 Intron 3 Splice Site Pathogenic Variant

Pathogenic variants of bone morphogenic protein receptor type 2 gene (BMPR2) are related to the majority of cases of heritable pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH). Over 400 pathogenic variants have been identified. However, clinical characterization of PAH is still incomplete. We present a case of heritable PAH in a Korean family showing serious clinical presentation with high penetrance. Genetic sequencing revealed a known heterozygous BMPR2 pathogenic variant, c.418+5G>A, at a splice site of intron 3. Serious clinical presentation with high penetrance suggested that the interplay of other factors with pathologic variants might be in genotype-phenotype correlation. Further studies are needed to clarify these issues for the development of personalized medicine approaches for PAH.

Suppressive effect of CORM-2 on platelet α-granule exocytosis in sepsis via SNARE/Munc18b complex formation / 中华危重病急救医学

Objective To investigate the suppressive effect of carbon monoxide-releasing molecule Ⅱ (CORM-2) on LPS induced platelet α-granule exocytosis in sepsis via soluble N-ethylmaleimide-sensitive factor attached protein receptor/mammalian uncoordinated 18b (SNARE/Munc18b) complex formation.Methods Blood was collected from healthy volunteers' cubital vein, then platelets were isolated by differential centrifugation. Platelets were randomly divided into 5 groups. The control group did not undergo any treatment, the LPS group received 10 mg/L LPS simulation, the CORM-2 group and iCORM-2 group underwent LPS simulation and immediate administration of CORM-2 (10μmol/L and 50μmol/L) or iCORM-2 (50μmol/L), respectively. Samples were incubated in a CO2-incubator at 37 ℃, 95% humidity, and 5% CO2. Platelet α-granule contents were detected by using standard enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), including platelet factor 4 (PF4), platelet derived growth factor-BB (PDGF-BB), and matrix metalloproteinase-2 (MMP-2). The expression of P-selectin was detected by flow cytometer. Transmission electron microscope and immunofluorescence microscope was used to assess platelet α-granules distribution. Expressions of Munc18b and SNARE proteins including vesicle-associated membrane protein-8 (VAMP-8), synaptosomal-associated protein-23 (SNAP-23) and syntaxin-11 (STX-11) were detected by Western Bolt. The SNARE/Munc18b complex formation was detected by immunoprecipitation.Results Compared with the control group, levels of PF4, PDGF-BB, MMP-2 and P-selectinin LPS-induced platelets were found to markedly elevated, while CORM-2 (10μmol/L and 50μmol/L) could decrease platelet α-granule contents exocytosis: [PF4 (μg/L): 7.69±0.58, 6.03±0.71 vs. 10.13±0.82; PDGF-BB (μg/L): 112.71±1.79, 102.91±5.86 vs. 128.78±1.39; MMP-2 (ng/L): 32.94±2.73, 27.58±3.36 vs. 53.26±1.21; P-selectin: (17.14±0.57)%, (15.35±0.68)% vs. (23.78±0.62)%; allP < 0.01]. Transmission electron microscope and immunofluorescence microscope showed that the extent of platelet α-granules assembled to platelet plasma membrane was significantly decreased following CORM-2 treatment. Compared with the control group, the expressions of Munc18b and SNARE proteins and SNARE/Munc18b complex formation in LPS-stimulated platelets were significantly increased, while CORM-2 (10μmol/L and 50μmol/L) inhibited these elevations (Munc18b/GAPDH: 0.80±0.08, 0.69±0.01 vs. 0.99±0.09; VAMP-8/GAPDH: 0.72±0.09, 0.50±0.12 vs. 1.18±0.14; SNAP-23/GAPDH: 1.18±0.22, 0.63±0.10 vs. 1.90±0.08; STX-11/GAPDH: 0.76±0.02, 0.57±0.08 vs. 1.16±0.23; VAMP-8/ Munc18b: 0.65±0.09, 0.53±0.07 vs. 1.21±0.20; SNAP-23/Munc18b: 0.85±0.07, 0.55±0.09 vs. 1.26±0.08; STX-11/ Munc18b: 0.78±0.05, 0.61±0.10 vs. 1.39±0.16; allP < 0.01). Above all, the data showed a dose dependent change.Conclusion We could suggest that CORM-2 suppressed α-granule exocytosis in LPS-stimulated platelets and the potential mechanisms might involve SNARE/Munc18b complex formation.

A Case of Hereditable Pulmonary Hypertension / 대한내과학회지

Pulmonary arterial hypertension is a rare life-threatening disorder. Inherited cases of this disorder are known as heritable pulmonary arterial hypertension. Familial cases of heritable pulmonary arterial hypertension are caused by germline mutations of the bone morphogenetic protein receptor type 2 gene (BMPR), a type II receptor of the TGF-beta superfamily. This has not been reported in Korea. We report the first case of familial hereditable pulmonary arterial hypertension in Korea. The family has a mutation in exon12 of the BMPR2 gene (c.2695C > T, p.R899X).

A Case of Idiopathic Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension with a BMPR2 Mutation / 대한내과학회지

Here, we describe the case of a 43-year-old male who was diagnosed with idiopathic pulmonary arterial hypertension and a mutation in the gene encoding bone morphogenetic protein receptor type 2 (BMPR2). The subject presented with hemoptysis and dyspnea on exertion and was diagnosed with pulmonary arterial hypertension. Genetic analysis revealed a novel deletion (c.1042_1047delGTTATT) in exon 8 of BMPR2. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first reported case of a BMPR2 mutation in a Korean patient with pulmonary arterial hypertension.

Bone Morphogenetic Protein Receptor in the Osteogenic Differentiation of Rat Bone Marrow Stromal Cells

PURPOSE: Several signaling pathways have been shown to regulate the lineage commitment and terminal differentiation of bone marrow stromal cells (BMSCs). Bone morphogenetic protein (BMP) signaling has important effects on the process of skeletogenesis. In the present study, we tested the role of bone morphogenetic protein receptor (BMPR) in the osteogenic differentiation of rat bone marrow stromal cells in osteogenic medium (OM) with or without BMP-2. MATERIALS AND METHODS: BMSCs were harvested from rats and cultured in OM containing dexamethasone, beta-glycerophosphate, and ascorbic acid, with or without BMP-2 in order to induce osteogenic differentiation. The alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activity assay and von kossa staining were used to assess the osteogenic differentiation of the BMSCs. BMPR mRNA expression was assessed using reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR). RESULTS: The BMSCs that underwent osteogenic differentiation in OM showed a higher level of ALP activity and matrix mineralization. BMP-2 alone induced a low level of ALP activity and matrix mineralization in BMSCs, but enhanced the osteogenic differentiation of BMSCs when combined with OM. The OM significantly induced the expression of type IA receptor of BMPR (BMPRIA) and type II receptor of BMPR (BMPRII) in BMSCs after three days of stimulation, while BMP-2 significantly induced BMPRIA and BMPRII in BMSCs after nine or six days of stimulation, respectively. CONCLUSION: BMSCs commit to osteoblastic differentiation in OM, which is enhanced by BMP-2. In addition, BMP signaling through BMPRIA and BMPRII regulates the osteogenic differentiation of rat BMSCs in OM with or without BMP-2.

Effects of 17?-estradiol on the gene expression of BMPR-ⅠA and Cbf?1 in bone marrow stromal cells / 第三军医大学学报

Objective To investigate the effects of 17?-estradiol (E2) on the gene expression of typeⅠA bone morphogenetic protein receptor (BMPR-ⅠA) and core-binding factor alpha 1 (Cbf?1) in rat bone marrow stromal cells exposed to the differentiation medium and to elucidate the effects of E2 on osteoblastogenesis. Methods Adherent bone marrow stromal cells were cultured in differentiation medium containing DEX (10 -7 mol/L), 1,25-(OH)2D3 (10 -9 mol/L) and different concentrations of E2. Effects of different concentrations of E2 on the gene expression of BMPR-ⅠA and Cbf?1 was quantified by RT-PCR based on the comparison with an internal reference, ?-actin expression, and identified by Northern blotting. Alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activity of cells was detected. Contents of type Ⅰ collagen were determined by Van Gieson staining. Results E2 could evidently inhibit the expression of BMPR-ⅠA and Cbf?1 mRNA during the differentiation process of bone marrow stromal cells into osteoblasts in a dose-dependent manner. These were confirmed by Northern blotting. The ALP activity increased in a concentration-dependent manner, but the amount of type Ⅰ collagen decreased in a concentration-dependent manner. Conclusion E2 can significantly inhibit the gene expression of BMPR-ⅠA and Cbf?1 in bone marrow stromal cells and inhibit osteoblastogenesis in vitro.
