Résumé
Autophagy is a physiological process of normal cells that is activated in response to accumulation of abnormal proteins, damaged organelles, and cell starvation and involves their transport to lysosomes for degradation and recycling, enabling the mainte-nance of cellular homeostasis. Oncolytic viruses, which are obtained from naturally occurring or genetically modified viruses, specifical-ly target and kill tumor cells. Despite receiving much attention, the mechanisms underlying this process remain unclear, although re-cent studies have implicated autophagy in the phenomenon. Here we outline how oncolytic viruses cause cell death via autophagy and how they can be exploited for the treatment of cancer.

@#The enriched environment is an artificial environment for animal models of rodentia. In the enriched environment, model animals may improve synaptic plasticity, inhibit apoptisis and regulate autophage after hypoxic-ischemic brain damage, that promote the recovery.

Objective:To detect the effect of pulse radiofrequency (PRF) treatment on the neuropathic pain established by L5-spinal nerve ligation (SNL) on rats,and to investigate if PRF treatment would affect the expression of autophagy related protein LC3 and autophagy related receptor P62 at the dorsal horn.Methods:A total of 36 male Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly divided into 3 groups:a Sham group,a SNL group,and a SNL+PRF group.The 50％ paw withdrawal mechanical threshold (PWMT) was detected at 1 day before and 1,3,7,14 and 28 days post-operation by using Von-Frey filaments.The autophagy related protein LC3 and autophagy related receptor P62 were investigated by Western blot.Results:Compared with the Sham group,the PWMT significantly decreased in the SNL group at each time points (P＜0.05);in SNL+PRF group,PRF treatment could elevate the PWMT at the 1st day post-operation and lasted for 28 days (P＜0.05).What's more,SNL could elevate the LC3-Ⅱ and P62 levels at the 7th day post-operation (P＜0.05),which were decreased by the PRF treatment (P＜0.05).Conclusion:PRF treatment could improve SNL-induced the neuropathic pain,which might be partly due to the regulatory effects on the autophagy levels at the spinal dorsal horn.

Objective To observe the effect of Bupleurum Liver-Coursing Powder on the neuronal apoptosis and autophage in hippocampus of depression model rats, and to explore the mechanism of its anti-depression effect. Methods 60 male SD rats were randomly divided into control group,model group and drug intervention group (n=20).The depression model was produced by giving the rats chronic unpredicted mild stress.The rats in model group and control group received the same volume of normal saline,and the rats in drug intervention group received Bupleurum Liver-Coursing Powder solution on the basis of model.The depressional behavior was examined using sucrose preference test,tail-suspension test and Morris water maze.Flow cytometry was employed for the detection and quantification of the apoptotic cells in the hippcampus. The expressions of LC-3 and Beclin 1 were detected using Western blotting method. Results The pencertages of sucrose preference of the rats in model group and drug intervention group were significantly lower, while the tail-suspension immobility time and the excape latency time were higher than those in control group (P<0.05);the apoptotic rates of cells,the ratios of LC3-Ⅱ/LC3-Ⅰand the expression levels of Beclin-1 were higher than those in control group (P<0.05).Compared with model group,the percentage of sucrose preference of the rats in drug intervention group was increased (P<0.05),the tail-suspension immobility time and the excape latency time were decreased (P<0.05),and the apoptotic rate of cells,the ratio of LC3-Ⅱ/LC3-Ⅰand the expression level were also decreased (P<0.05).Conclusion Bupleurum Liver-Coursing Powder has significant anti-depression effect, which may be related to inhibiting the apoptosis and degrading the autophage of neuros.

Objective To explore the effects of polymethylmethacrylate(PMMA)-induced autophagy osteoclasts on bone disso-lution animal models ,and study the mechanism of PMMA particle-induced pyrophosphate osteolysis .Methods 30 8-week-old BALB / c mice were randomly divided into two groups ,sterile air with back injection on mice to form airbag and homologous skulls were implanted into experimental group mice were injected with PMMA particles ,the control group were injected with physiological saline .After 14 d ,the mice were killed ,osteoclast activation related gene (RANK / RANKL ) and autophagy morphological exami-nation of the the airbags tissue and the skull were detect .Results The tartrate-resistant enzyme staining (TRAP)-positive osteo-clasts(21 .31 ± 6 .32)s of experiment group is significantly higher than that of the control group (7 .45 ± 3 .23) ,immunohisto-chemistry showed that autophytic protein microtubule-associated protein 1 light chain 3(LC3) and Beclin 1 antibody staining score level in experimental group was significantly higher than that of control group .RT-PCR showed that the RANK mRNA level(1 .35 ± 0 .05) of experimental group was significantly increased(P< 0 .05) .Conclusion The autophagy induce by PMMA is involved in the formation of osteolysis .
