RESUMO

PURPOSE: Endothelial progenitor cells (EPCs) play a key role in tissue repair and regeneration. Previous studies have shown that infusion of human umbilical cord blood-derived endothelial colony-forming cells improves outcomes in mice subjected to experimental traumatic brain injury (TBI). However, the efficiency of cell transplantation is not satisfactory. Oxidative stress plays a significant role in the survival of transplanted cells following ischemic reperfusion injury. This observational clinical study investigated the correlation between the number of circulating EPCs and plasma levels of superoxide dismutase (SOD) and malonyldialdehyde (MDA). MATERIALS AND METHODS: Peripheral blood samples were collected from 20 patients with mild TBI at day-1, day-2, day-3, day-4, and day-7 post TBI. The number of circulating EPCs and the plasma levels of SOD and MDA were measured. RESULTS: The average of circulating EPCs in TBI patients decreased initially, but increased thereafter, compared with healthy controls. Plasma levels of SOD in TBI patients were significantly lower than those in healthy controls at day-4 post-TBI. MDA levels showed no difference between the two groups. Furthermore, when assessed on day-7 post-TBI, the circulating EPC number were correlated with the plasma levels of SOD and MDA. CONCLUSION: These results suggest that the number of circulating EPCs is weakly to moderately correlated with plasma levels of SOD and MDA at day-7 post-TBI, which may offer a novel antioxidant strategy for EPCs transplantation after TBI.

RESUMO

Objective To investigate the expression of FRAT1 and β-catenin in human brain glioma,analyze the correlation between the expression and clinical pathological grades and the correlation of the two genes.Methods FRAT1 and β-catenin were detected by immunohistochemistry in 84 human brain glioma tissues and 6 human normal brain tissues.Results 66.7 % (56/84) and 77.4 % (65/84) of human brain glioma tissues expressed FRAT1 and β-catenin protein,whereas no FRAT1 and β-catenin protein expression was detected in human normal brain tissues.The expression levels of FRAT1 and ββ-catenin increased markedly with the ascending of pathologic grade of tumor specimens (r =0.55,P < 0.01,r =0.70,P < 0.01),there was a positive correlation between FRAT1 and β-catenin (r =0.77,P < 0.01).Conclusion FRAT1 and β-catenin over-expression maybe closely related with occurrence and development of human brain gliomas.The results provide important supplements for the research of Wnt/β-catenin pathway.Meanwhile,FRAT1 may act as a valuable biomarker for molecular diagnosis of glioma and a potential target for gene therapy of glioma.
