RESUMO

<p><b>BACKGROUND</b>Chronic kidney disease (CKD) has become a public health problem. New interventions to slow or prevent disease progression are urgently needed. In this setting, cell therapies associated with regenerative effects are attracting increasing interest. We evaluated the effect of embryonic stem cells (ESCs) on the progression of CKD.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>Adult male Sprague-Dawley rats were subjected to 5/6 nephrectomy. We used pedicled greater omentum flaps packing ESC-loaded gelatin microcryogels (GMs) on the 5/6 nephrectomized kidney. The viability of ESCs within the GMs was detected using in vitro two-photon fluorescence confocal imaging. Rats were sacrificed after 12 weeks. Renal injury was evaluated using serum creatinine, urea nitrogen, 24 h protein, renal pathology, and tubular injury score results. Structural damage was evaluated by periodic acid-Schiff and Masson trichrome staining.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>In vitro, ESCs could be automatically loaded into the GMs. Uniform cell distribution, good cell attachment, and viability were achieved from day 1 to 7 in vitro. After 12 weeks, in the pedicled greater omentum flaps packing ESC-loaded GMs on 5/6 nephrectomized rats group, the plasma urea nitrogen levels were 26% lower than in the right nephrectomy group, glomerulosclerosis index was 62% lower and tubular injury index was 40% lower than in the 5/6 nephrectomized rats group without GMs.</p><p><b>CONCLUSIONS</b>In a rat model of established CKD, we demonstrated that the pedicled greater omentum flaps packing ESC-loaded GMs on the 5/6 nephrectomized kidney have a long-lasting therapeutic rescue function, as shown by the decreased progression of CKD and reduced glomerular injury.</p>

RESUMO

<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To observe the effect of pcDNA3.1-Egr.1p-p16 plasmid on apoptosis and cell cycle of pancreatic carcinoma JF305 cell line.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>JF305 cells were cultured and transfected with pcDNA3.1-Egr.1p-p16 plasmid via Lipofectamine(TM) 2000, followed by irradiation by 6MV-X at 4 Gy (dose rate 2.50 Gy/min). The cell cycle and cell apoptosis changes were analyzed by flow cytometry.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>In cells infected with pcDNA3.1-Egr.1p-p16 plasmid and those with pcDNA3.1-Egr.1p-p16 plasmid infection before 4 Gy irradiation, the percentages of viable apoptotic cells were 6.4% and 10.4%, and those of advanced stage apoptotic or dead cells were 16.8% and 33.8%, significantly higher than those in the control group (P<0.05). JF305 cell apoptosis in 4 Gy irradiation group was obviously increased in comparison with non-irradiated plasmid-infected cells (P<0.05). Irradiation resulted in a predominant G(2) arrest of the plasmid-infected JF305 cells. Both pcDNA3.1-p16 plasmid and pcDNA3.1-Egr.1p-p16 plasmid infections could induce G1 arrest of JF-305 cells, and irradiation did not produce significant changes in G(1)-arrested cells in the two plasmid infection groups, but cells arresting at G(2) phase increased.</p><p><b>CONCLUSION</b>pcDNA3.1-Egr.1p-p16 can induce JF-305 cells apoptosis, which is enhanced by irradiation. pcDNA3.1-Egr.1p-p16 tranfection may result in G(1) arrest of the cells, and when combined with irradiation, the cells arrested at G(2) phase can increase.</p>

RESUMO

OBJECTIVE@#To investigate the optimal doses of X-ray irradiation and plasmid injection in the anti-tumor effect of the pcDNA3. 1-Egr. 1p-p16 gene combined with radiotherapy in vivo.@*METHODS@#We observed the anti-tumor effect of the pcDNA3. 1-Egr. 1p-p16 gene combined with radiotherapy with different doses of X-ray irradiation (2, 10, 20 Gy) and plasmid injection (10, 20, 30 microg) in nude mice with JF-305 pancreatic carcinoma, and detected the expression of p16 in tumor by RT-PCR.@*RESULTS@#The tumor growth rate of the nude mice irradiated locally with 20 Gy X-rays after the plasmid injection was significantly lower (P < 0.05 ) than that of the nude mice irradiated locally with 2 Gy or 10 Gy X-ray 3 days after the irradiation. The tumor growth rate of the nude mice injected locally with 20 microg or 30 microg plasmid was significantly lower (P <0.05 ) than that of the nude mice injected locally with 10 microg plasmid. Both pcDNA3. 1-Egr. 1p-p16 group and pcDNA3. 1-Egr. 1p-p16 +20 Gy group had p16 mRNA expression, but the mRNA level of pcDNA3. 1-Egr. 1p-p16 +20 Gy group was higher than that of pcD- NA3. 1-Egr. 1p-p16 group.@*CONCLUSION@#In the pcDNA3. 1-Egr. 1p-p16 gene combined with radiotherapy in vivo the optimal dose of X-ray irradiation was 20 Gy and the optimal dose of plasmid injection was 20 microg. The anti-tumor effect of pcDNA3. 1-Egr. 1p-p16 combined with radiotherapy is better than that of radiotherapy or gene therapy alone, which may be related with the enhanced p16 expression in tumor after the irradiation.

RESUMO

<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>The pEgr-TNFalpha plasmid was constructed to investigate the effect of gene-radiotherapy on melanoma and host immune system.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>pEgr-TNFalpha plasmids were constructed and injected into tumor tissue, 36 hours later, the tumors were given 20 Gy X-ray irradiation. Tumor growth at different timepoints was record and immunologic parameters were detected 15 days later.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>From 3 to 15 d after pEgr-TNFalpha gene-radiotherapy the tumor growth was significantly slower than irradiation or genetherapy alone. NK activity, IL-2, TNFalpha and IL-1beta secretion activities of pEgr-TNFalpha gene-radiotherapy group and pEgr-TNFalpha gene group were higher than those of irradiation alone group significantly.</p><p><b>CONCLUSION</b>The anti-tumor effect of pEgr-TNFalpha gene-radiotherapy is better than that of either one applied solely, and it can alleviate the lesion caused by radiation therapy.</p>
