ABSTRACT
ObjectiveTo investigate the effects of bone marrow stem cells autologous transplantation after acute myocardial infarction on local mRNA expression of SDF-1,Kit ligand,E-selectin,ICAM-1and VCAM-1.Methods Acute myocardial infarction models were established in 10 swine,which were randomized divided into placebo group (5 swine) and transplantation group (5 swine).After six months,hearts of placebo group and early transplantation group were harvested and mRNA expression of SDF-1,Kit ligand,E-selectin,ICAM-1 and VCAM-1 in infarcted myocardial region was detected.Results The mRNAs of SDF-1,Kit ligand,E-selection,ICAM-1 and VCAM-1 were expressed in the infarcted myocardial region of transplantation group six months after myocardial infarction,but it was not found in the placebo group.ConclusionsBone marrow autologous transplantation after acute myocardial infarction can promote local mRNA expression of SDF-1,Kit ligand,E-selectin,ICAM-1 and VCAM-1,which may be due to the paracrine effects of stem cells.
ABSTRACT
Objective To study the Sheng Mai San on the levels of cell factors induced by lipopolysaccharide in acute liver failure rats. Methods The models of chronic liver failure were constructed by injecting CCl4 in the abdomen of rats. The serum levels of lipopolysaccharide and cell factors were determined after treating with LPS and Sheng Mai San for 2 hours. Results The serum level of IL-6［(64.50±18.79)pg/ml vs (4.79±0.57)pg/ml］, ICAM-1［(25100.00±5258.85)pg/ml vs (4215.50±942.79)pg/ml］ and TNF-α［(17.55±2.39)pg/ml vs (10.92±5.02)pg/ml］ was increased by CCl4 (P＜0.05), but there is no effect on the serum level of LPS in rats ［(0.058±0.007)EU/ml vs (0.040±0.002)EU/ml,P＞0.05］. Sheng Mai San can significantly reduce the serum level of IL-6, ICAM-1 and TNF-α in rats with acute liver failure induced by CCl4 ［(17.20±3.12)pg/ml,(9490.00±2725.78)pg/ml,(3.00±1.00)pg/ml,P＜0.05］. After treating with LPS for 2 hours, the serum level of LPS, TNF-α, IL-6, ICAM-1 markedly increased ［(0.501±0.019)EU/ml,(19750.00±9655.17)pg/ml,(5615.00±490.50)pg/ml,(41000.00±589.88)pg/ml,P＜0.01］. Sheng Mai San could reduce the serum levels of LPS, TNF-α, IL-6, ICAM-1 and in rats with chronic liver failure (P＜0.01). Conclusions SD Rats in the state of chronic liver fail-ure, existing serious serum endotoxin, can induce the levels of cell factors by diversification inflammation reaction and. ShengMaiSan can regulating the levels of cell factors in rats with chronic liver failure.
ABSTRACT
Objective To observe the levels of intercellar adhesion molecule-1(ICAM-1)of rat intestinal mucosa microvascular endothelial cells in sepsis rat,and to investigate the possible protective effect of adrenomedullin on the expression of intercellar adhesion molecule-1(ICAM-1)of rat intestinal mucosa microvascular endothelial cells,and to confirm whether adrenomedullin can decrease released inflammatory factors to slow down or inhibit the occurrence and development of sepsis.Methods The rat intestinal mucosa microvascular endothelial cells were isolated and cultured in vitro,and it was divided into sham operated(sham operated serum),sepsis serum(with addition of sepsis serum)and ADM serum(with 0.lng/kg adrenomedullin 6h after sepsis treatment)groups.The soluble ICAM-1(sICAM-1)content in RIMMVECs culture supernatant was measured by ELISA at the 24th hour after serum stimulation.Results The ICAM-1 content in the supernatant of sepsis group [(0.33 ±0.04)ng/L] was obviously higher than that in sham operated [(0.15 ± 0.02)ng/L] and ADM [(0.17 ± 0.04)ng/L] group(P ＜ 0.05),but ADM group was no significantly different compared with sham operated group(P ＞ 0.05).Conclusions ADM could decrease the expression of ICAM-I in RIMMVECs,and the low level of ICAM-1 could suppress its downstream inflammation factors and inhibit the occurrence and development of sepsis.
