Down-regulation of miR-31-5p in human acute myeloid leukemia / 基础医学与临床

Objective To study the expression and roles of miR-31-5p in acute myeloid leukemia (AML).Methods miR-31-5p in AML patients were evaluated by real-time PCR;THP-1 cells were transfected with the miR-31-5p mimic and control, respectively.The effects of over-expression of miR-31-5p were examined by CCK-8 and FACS analysis;Dual-luciferase and Western blot were performed to detect target gene HuR expression.The effects of knock-down of HUR were also examined by CCK-8 and FACS analysis.Results miR-31-5p was down-regulated in AML patients compared to the normal control.Over-expression of miR-31-5p in THP-1 cells reduces cell proliferation and accelerates monocytic differentiation.miR-31-5p could target HuR, and knock-down of HuR inhibits cell proliferation and attenuates monocytic differentiation in THP-1 cells.Conclusions miR-31-5p may regulate AML cell proliferation and monocytic differentiation by targeting HuR.

P75NTR protein promotes L02 cells proliferation in vitro via TrkANGFR/P75NTR heterodimer signal pathway / 中华消化杂志

ObjectiveTo observe the expression of nerve growth factor(NGF)and its receptors (TrkANGFRand P75NTR) in hepatocytes and to explore the biological effects of exogenous P75NTR protein on hepatocytes.MethodsL02 hepatocytes were cultured in vitro.The expression of NGF,TrkANNGFR and P75NTR in L02 cells were assessed by immunocytochemistry and fluorescent quantitation polymerase chain reaction (PCR). The effects on L02 cell proliferation by exogenous P75NTR,NGF,NGF+ P75NTR,anti-TrkANGFR and anti-P75NTR were detected by XTT assay.The effect of exogenous P75NTR on L02 cell apoptosis was measured by flow cytometry (Annexin V/PI) and the effect of exogenous P75NTR on L02 cell cycle was determined by flow cytometry (PI).ResultsL02 cell proliferation was promoted by P75NTR and in dose-dependent manner.The A value of NGF group and NGF+ P75NTR group was 0.4916±0.0565 and 0.5839 ± 0.0733,respectively,and there was statistical significance compared with control group (0.3601 ± 0.0310,P＜0.05).The A value ot anti-TrkANGFR group was 0.2689±0.0229,and there was statistical significance compared with control group (P=0.003).The A value of anti P75NTR was 0.3524 ± 0.0312,and there was no statistical significance compared with control group (P=1.000). Exogenous P75NTR had anti-apoptosis effect on L02 cells,the antiapoptosis effect was strongest when 100 ng/ml P75NTR was added and the expression quantity was 3.70 ±0.26.However there was no statistical significant compared with control group (4.10 ± 0.62,P=1.000).P75NTR affected the cell cycle S phase of L02 cells and in dose-dependent manner,which was inverted U shaped curve.The effect was strongest when the concentration was 100 ng/ml (25.60 ±0.40) and there was statistical significance compared with control group (20.10 ±1.00,P=0.000).Exogenous NGF,P75NTR and NGF + P75NTR up regulated the gene expression of NGFmRNA,TrkANGFRmRNA and P75NTR mRNA in L02 cells and there was statistical significance compared with control group (P＜0.05).There was no significant difference in the gene expression of NGFmRNA,TrkANGFFR mRNA and P75NTR mRNA between anti-TrkANGFR,anti-P75NTR groUp and control group (P＞0.05).Conclusion NGF and its receptors TrkANGFR and P75NTR were expressed in L02 cells.The appropriate dose of exogenous P75NTP protein promoted L02 cells proliferation via TrkANGFR/P75NTR heterodimer signal pathway.

Study on the mechanism of apoptosis of hepatic stellate cells induced by nerve growth factor / 中国医师杂志

ObjectiveTo investigate the effect of NGF on apoptosis of HSC in vitro and explore the possible mechanism.MethodsHSC was incubated with different concentrations of NGF.HSC apoptosis was identified by FCM.The expressions of apoptosis-regulating proteins Caspase-3,p53 and Bcl-2 of HSC after apoptosis induced by NGF were examined by immunohistochemical staining.Expressions of NGF and p75NTR were detected by immunofluorescence.ResultsApoptosis index of HSC was higher than that of control group [(22.36±9.51)％ vs (5.88±1.36)％] after treated with NGF (100 ng/ml) (P＜0.05).After incubating with 100 ng/ml NGF for 24 h,the positive expression rates of p53 and Caspase-3 of HSC increased significantly than those of control group [(78.41±4.00)％ vs (34.96±3.84)％,(39.26±1.57)％ vs (9.27±1.01)％,P ＜0.05].The positive expression rate of Bcl-2 protein of HSC significantly decreased compared with that of control group (18.12±1.38)％ vs (91.53±2.98)％ (P＜0.05).When HSC was stimulated with 100 ng/ml NGF for 24 h,the average optical density of NGF increased significantly than control group (6.53±1.40 vs 1.77±0.17) (P＜0.05),while the expression of p75NTR was not significantly changed (3.52±0.36 vs 4.24±0.38) (P＞0.05).ConclusionsThe mechanism of NGF to induce HSC apoptosis may be associated with the up-regulating expression of Caspase3,P53 and down-regulating expression of Bcl-2 on HSC.NGF could be used as an initiating factor and effect factor to increase the expression of NGF on HSC,but it had no significant effect on p75NTR expression.

Post-infectious bronchiolitis obliterans in children: clinical features and bronchoalveolar lavage therapy / 中华急诊医学杂志

Objective To investigate the clinical features and bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL)therapy of postinfectious bronchiolitis obliterans (BO) in children. Method Ten children, who had post-infectious BO from February 2009 to February 2010, received BAL therapy, and were retrospectively analyzed. The data included pathology,chnical feature,chest HRCT scan, BALF cellular, levels of blood T cell subtypes and outcome of BAL therapy. Results Adenoviruses or mycoplasma pneumoniae were the most common etiologic agents (4/10, respectively). All patients presented persistent or recurrent dyspneic respirations and wheezing since the initial lung infection. The findings of HRCT included mosaic pattern of perfusion (6/10), accompanied by gas retention,bronchiectasis, atelectasis and bronchial wall thickening. The percentage of neutrophils in BALF was significantly increased in all cases (10/10). There were predominance of CD8+ T cell subtype (9/10) and lower ratio of CD4 +/CD8+ ( 10/10)in blood. Reduced symptoms and shortened hospital stay of BO in 9 of all 10 cases were observed after BAL therapy. Conclusions Severe adenovirus or mycoplasma pneunoniae bronchiolitis and/or pneumonia has higher risk for developing BO in children. Increased percentage of neutrophils in BALF and predominance of CD8 +T cell subtype may play an important role in the mechanism of BO. BAL therepy can reduce the respiratory symptoms of BO in children.
