Development and optimization of a cell screening system for farnesoid X receptor agonist / 生物工程学报

This study aims to develop an improved cell screening system for farnesoid X receptor (FXR) agonists based on a dual luciferase reporter gene system. FXR response element (FXRE) fragments from FXR target genes were cloned and inserted into upstream of firefly luciferase (Luc) gene in the plasmid pGL4-luc2P-Hygro. In combination with the internal reference plasmid containing renilla luciferase, a dual luciferase reporter gene system was developed and used for high throughput screening of FXR agonists. After studying the effects of over-expression of RXR, mouse or human FXR, various FXRE fragments, and different ratio of FXR plasmid amount to reporter gene plasmid, induction efficiency of the screening system was optimized by the known FXR agonist GW4064, and Z factor for the system reached 0.83 under optimized conditions. In summary, an improved cell screening system based on double luciferase reporter gene detection system was developed to facilitate the discovery of FXR agonists, where a new enhanced FXRE element was formed by a superposition of multiple FXRE fragments from FXR target genes, instead of a superposition of traditional IR-1 (inverted repeats-1) fragments.

Effects of gender on clinical outcomes in extremely low birth weight infants and analysis of risk factors of mortality / 中国新生儿科杂志

Objective:To study the effects of gender on clinical outcomes of extremely low birth weight infants (ELBWI) and to analyze the risk factors of mortality.Methods:From January 2011 to December 2020, ELBWI (birth weight <1 000 g) admitted to the Neonatology Department of our hospital were retrospectively studied. The infants were assigned into the male group and the female group. Incidences of major complications, survival rate and mortality rate were compared between the two groups. The infants were also assigned into survival group and death group according to their clinical outcomes. Binary multivariate unconditional Logistic regression was used to analyze the risk factors of mortality in ELBWI.Results:A total of 637 ELBWI cases were included. 311 cases were in the male group with a survival rate of 57.9% (180/311) and 326 cases were in the female group with a survival rate of 57.4% (187/326). The incidences of neonatal respiratory distress syndrome (RDS), bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD), pulmonary hemorrhage and severe intraventricular hemorrhage (IVH) in the male group were significantly higher than the female group ( P<0.05). Significant increases of survival rate existed for both groups year by year ( P<0.01).No significant differences existed in survival rate, mortality rate of infants receiving proactive treatment and mortality rate of infants withdrawing treatment between the two groups ( P>0.05). Multivariate unconditional Logistic regression analysis showed that withdrawing treatment ( P<0.01) and pulmonary hemorrhage ( P<0.05) were associated with increased risks of mortality. Conclusions:Male ELBWI have higher risks of RDS, BPD and severe IVH than female ELBWI. Withdrawing treatment and pulmonary hemorrhage are common risk factors of mortality for both male and female ELBWI.

ObjectiveTo investigate the role of Nav1.7 in dorsal root ganglia (DRG) in a rat model of diabetic neuropathic pain (DNP).MethodsThirty-two female Wistar rats aged 3 months weighing 180-220 g were randomly divided into 4 groups ( n ＝ 8 each):control group ( group C),sham operation group ( group S),DNP group and ProTx- Ⅱ (a selective Nav1.7 blocker) group (group E).Diabetes mellitus was induced by intraperitoneal streptozocin 65 mg/kg.Blood glucose level and mechanical paw withdrawal threshold (MWT)to von Froy filamentstimulation were measured 2 weeks later.DNP was confirmed by blood glucose level ≥ 16.0 mmol/L and MWT decreased by more than 50％ of the baseline value.Intrathecal catheter was implanted at L5,6 interspace on day 10 after successful induction of DNP.On day 4 after placement of the intrathecal catheter,ProTx- Ⅱ 10 μg/kg was injected intrathecally in group E,while the equal volume of normal saline was given in groups DNP and S.MWT and never conduction velocity (NCV) were measured 1 h after intrathecal injection.The rats were then sacrificed and DRGs of the lumbar segment (L4-6) were removed for determination of Nav1.7 protein expression (by immuno-histochemistry and Western blot) and Nav1.7 mRNA expression (by RT-PCR).ResultsThe MWT and NCV were significantly lower and the Nav1.7 mRNA and protein expression was significantly higher in groups DNP and E than in group C.ProTx- Ⅱ significantly attenuated the diabetes-induced changes in MWT,but had no effect on NCV and Nav1.7 mRNA and protein expression.ConclusionNav1.7 in DRG is involved in the maintenance of DNP in rats.
