Dynamics of Proliferation and Differentiation after Transplantation of Hematopoietic Cells in Mouse / 中国实验血液学杂志

OBJECTIVE@#To investigate the effects of Listeria monocytogenes infection on hematopoietic stem and progenitor cell (HSPC) composition, cell cycle and cell colony-forming ability in mouse bone marrow.@*METHODS@#The C57BL/6J mice were divided into infected group and control group. The mice in injected group were infected intraperitoneally with 6.7×10 CFU Listeria monocytogenes,while the mice in control group were injecfed with PBS of same volume.The serum levels of IFNγ were detected at different time points. After 24 hours, the HS/PC composition, cell cycle and cell colony-forming ability in bone marrow of mice were measured, and the difference between the control group and the infected group was statistically analyzed.@*RESULTS@#Serum IFNγ levels peaked at 24 hours after infection with Listeria monocytogenes. After 24 h, the proportion of LSK, LSK in S phase, and short-term hematopoietic stem cells (ST-HSC) in the infected group were significantly higher than those in the control group (P＜0.001), long-term hematopoietic stem cells (LT-HSC) and the proportion of LT-HSC in S phase were significantly increased (P＜0.01), and the cell colony-forming ability of bone marrow significantly decreased (P＜0.01). [WTHZ]Conclusion: [WTB1]After infection with Listeria monocytogenes, bone marrow hematopoietic stem cells enter the proliferative state from rest, the cell colony-forming ability decreases, suggesting that Listeria monocytogenes infection can cause hematopoietic stem cell depletion.

Application of PSD-MALDI-TOF-MS to protein identification / 药学学报

<p><b>AIM</b>To identify protein spots on two dimentional protein electrophoresis (2DE) by post-source decay (PSD) technique associated with library search.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>The PSD-MALDI-TOF-MS method was set up by a segment of ACTH and a peptide digested by trypsin for TPA.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>Two unknown protein spots on 2DE were identified as 40S ribosomal protein S12 and dnaK suppressor protein separately by established PSD-MALDI-TOF-MS method.</p><p><b>CONCLUSION</b>PSD technique has greater application prospects in peoteomics.</p>

Investigation of constituents in siwu tang fractions by chromatographic and ESI-MS methods / 中国中药杂志

<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>In order to discuss the chemical foundation of hematopoietic effect of Siwu Tang, three fractions of different polarities (C1, C2 and C3) were prepared from Siwu Tang and the characteristics of these fractions' constituents were investigated.</p><p><b>METHOD</b>Fraction C1, C2 and C3 of Siwu Tang and corresponding fractions of Siwu Tang's four ingredient drugs were analyzed and compared, synthetically using the three methods of high-performance thin layer chromatography (HPTLC), high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) and direct infusion electrospray ionization mass spectrometry (ESI-MS).</p><p><b>RESULT</b>Fraction C1 of Siwu Tang contained various types of compounds, including ferulic acid, paeoniflorin and supposedly ligustilide, etc. Saccharide content in fraction C1 was very little. The major constituents in fraction C2 of Siwu Tang were paeoniflorin, monosaccaride and disaccharide. The major constituents in fraction C3 of Siwu Tang were monosaccaride and disaccharide.</p><p><b>CONCLUSION</b>With synthetical chromatographic and direct infusion ESI-MS methods, abundant information on composition of fractions of traditional Chinese medicine formulas can be obtained. The results gained with different methods can be compared with each other and corroborate each other, so that the obtained information can be more comprehensive and more definite than that gained with single method. The results of this study are important as references for the discussion of the chemical foundation of hematopoietic effect of Siwu Tang.</p>
