基因间长链非编码RNA152靶向微小RNA?103a?3p对非小细胞肺癌细胞增殖和侵袭迁移的影响

目的探讨基因间长链非编码RNA 152(LINC00152)靶向调控微小RNA-103a-3p(miR-103a-3p)表达及对非小细胞肺癌(NSCLC)细胞增殖和侵袭迁移的影响。方法采用实时定量PCR(QPCR)检测正常肺上皮细胞BEAS-2B及NSCLC细胞(ANIP-973、NCI-H157、A549和NCI-H1975)的LINC00152水平。选取LINC00152水平最高的细胞分别转染LINC00152特异性小干扰RNA(si-LINC00152组)或无关序列(si-NC组),另设未转染细胞为对照组。QPCR检测LINC00152水平,活细胞计数CCK-8法、Transwell小室和划痕实验测定细胞增殖、侵袭和迁移能力,Western blotting检测基质金属蛋白酶(MMP)-2、MMP-9和第10号染色体缺失的磷酸酶及张力蛋白同源基因(PTEN)的水平;荧光素酶报告实验验证LINC00152靶向结合miR-103a-3p的能力。结果NSCLC细胞的LINC00152水平均高于BEAS-2B细胞(P<0.05),尤其是NCI-H1975细胞的最高。si-LINC00152组的LINC00152水平为0.352±0.087,低于对照组的1.058±0.219和si-NC组的1.126±0.139(P<0.05)。与si-NC组和对照组相比,si-LINC00152组NCI-H1975细胞转染48、72 h的增殖活力下降(P<0.05);si-LINC00152组的划痕愈合率和穿膜细胞数分别为(27.386±2.428)%和(78.840±5.031)个,低于si-NC组的(77.675±4.803)%和(179.208±13.264)个及对照组的(76.371±5.385)%和(174.003±15.678)个(P<0.05);与si-NC组和对照组相比,si-LINC00152组的MMP-2和MMP-9水平均降低,而PTEN水平升高(P<0.05)。对照组和si-NC组上述指标的差异无统计学意义(P>0.05)。双荧光素酶报告分析证实,miR-103a-3p模拟物降低了野生型LINC00152的荧光素酶活性(P<0.05),但对突变型无影响(P>0.05)。结论LINC00152在NSCLC细胞中高表达并发挥促癌作用,与NSCLC的迁移侵袭密切相关,LINC00152与miR-103a-3p间的相互作用在NSCLC靶向治疗中有一定潜能。     

Ventilation imaging of the lung: Comparison of hyperpolarized helium-3 MR imaging with Xe-133 scintigraphy

RATIONALE AND OBJECTIVES: To compare hyperpolarized helium-3 (HHe) magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the lung with standard Xe-133 lung ventilation scintigraphy. MATERIALS AND METHODS: We performed a retrospective review of 15 subjects who underwent HHe MRI and Xe-133 lung ventilation imaging. Coronal MRI sections were acquired after a single inhalation of HHe gas, and standard posterior planar lung ventilation scintigraphy was performed during continuous breathing of Xe-133 gas. The first breath scintigram of each patient was compared with a composite MR image composed of the sum of the individual MR images and with the individual helium-3 MR images. Ventilation defects on the two imaging modalities were compared for size, conspicuity, and concordance in presence and location. Assessment was done separately for each of four lung quadrants. RESULTS: Comparing the composite HHe MR images with Xe-133 scintigraphy, ventilation defect size, conspicuity and concordance were the same in 67% (40/60), 63% (38/60), and 62% (37/60) quadrants, respectively. Comparing the individual HHe MR image sections with the Xe-133 ventilation scan, there was concordance between the ventilation defects in 27% (16/60) of quadrants. More defects were identified on the individual HHe MR images in 62% (37/60) of quadrants. CONCLUSION: There was good agreement between composite HHe MR image and first breath Xe-133 scintigraphic images, supporting the widely held assumption that HHe MRI likely depicts first breath lung ventilation.     

大鼠局灶脑缺血AC133抗原和AC133mRNA的表达初探

目前国内外研究发现自体和异体骨髓干细胞移植可增加脑梗死周围区域的血管数量[1]。但在脑梗死后,机体自身内皮干细胞是否参与梗死周围区域的新血管形成尚无报道。AC133(又称CD133)是新发现的造血干祖细胞糖蛋白抗原,在已分化的内皮细胞上不表达,在内皮前体细胞表达[2],AC133蛋白和基因是否在大脑缺血脑组织表达以及局部缺血后AC133是否参与血管内皮功能等问题尚无文献提及。本研究将初探大鼠局灶脑缺血后脑组织中AC133抗原和AC133mRNA的表达。1资料1.1动物分组及模型制备:雄性SD大鼠42只,体重250～350g,随机分成3组:正常对照组、假…     

Local and central sympathetic reflex control of blood flow in skeletal muscle and subcutaneous tissue in normal man

Summary. The effect of age and sex on relative changes in blood flow and vascular resistance in skeletal muscle and subcutaneous tissue during postural changes and during local increase in transmural pressure was studied in 33 healthy subjects. The intra-individual variation was studied in five subjects. Blood flow was measured by the local ¹³³Xenon wash-out method. No relation to age or sex was seen in the centrally elicited sympathetic vasoconstrictor responses in subcutaneous tissue and skeletal muscle and in the locally elicited vasoconstriction in subcutaneous tissue. A small, but statistically significant, correlation to sex and age was found in the local sympathetic vasoconstrictor response in skeletal muscle. The age correlation was caused only by an attenuated response in the young subjects below 40 years of age and may be fortuitous. The intra-individual variation was acceptably small. Based on the present results, a reduction in blood flow in skeletal muscle and subcutaneous tissue during centrally or locally elicited sympathetic vasoconstriction of 10% or less should be considered abnormal. The local ¹³³Xenon wash-out method is of value in examining patients suspected of dysfunction in the sympathetic part of the autonomic nervous system.

miR-29b介导的TGF-β/Smad信号通路对大鼠肝纤维化进程的影响

目的:初步研究微小RNA-29b(mi R-29b)介导的TGF-β/Smad信号通路在肝星状细胞(HSC)活化中的作用及其对大鼠肝纤维化进程的影响。方法:构建肝纤维化大鼠模型并分离其HSC,同时通过体外获取并鉴定正常大鼠HSC。运用RT-qPCR和Western blot检测以上获取细胞中mi R-29b、TGF-β/Smad信号通路相关蛋白和肝纤维化标志蛋白的变化水平,并通过双萤光素酶报告基因检测系统鉴定mi R-29b对TGF-β1的直接靶向结合情况。结果:随着HSC活化加深,mi R-29b的表达量逐渐减少(P 0. 01),而HSC活性标志物I型胶原蛋白和α-平滑肌肌动蛋白的表达量逐渐增加(P 0. 01)。在TGF-β/Smad信号通路中,Smad2/3/4的表达显著增加,而Smad7的表达明显下降(P 0. 01)。双萤光素酶报告基因检测结果显示,mi R-29b可直接结合于TGF-β1 3’UTR的"UCUCUCCGU"序列,表明TGF-β1为mi R-29b的一个下游靶基因。结论:mi R-29b可参与抑制HSC的活化和迁移,进而抑制肝纤维化进程,而其生物学功能可能是通过直接靶向抑制TGF-β1进而调控TGF-β/Smad信号通路实现的。     

微小RNA-23b-3p通过靶向TGFBR3促进人心房肌成纤维细胞纤维化相关基因表达

目的:探究微小RNA-23b-3p(mi R-23b-3p)对人心房肌成纤维细胞中纤维化相关基因表达的作用及其可能作用靶基因。方法:分离并体外培养房颤患者心耳中原代心房肌成纤维细胞,并用细胞免疫荧光染色实验鉴定;双萤光素酶报告基因实验检测mi R-23b-3p与潜在靶基因转化生长因子β受体3(TGFBR3) 3'端非翻译区(3'-UTR)的结合作用; CCK-8、Ed U染色及Transwell实验检测细胞活力、增殖及迁移能力,RT-qPCR和Western blot法检测TGFBR3及纤维化相关基因的m RNA和蛋白表达。结果:在人心房肌成纤维细胞中过表达mi R-23b-3p不影响细胞的活力、增殖及迁移能力,但可显著增强细胞中纤维化相关基因COL1A1、COL3A1和ACTA2的表达(P 0. 05或P 0. 01)。双萤光素酶报告基因实验显示mi R-23b-3p与TGFBR3 3'-UTR有结合作用。RT-qPCR和Western blot结果证实mi R-23b-3p可在转录水平抑制TGFBR3表达。过表达mi R-23b-3p和沉默TGFBR3均能显著促进人心房肌成纤维细胞中Smad3激活和纤维化相关基因表达(P 0. 05或P 0. 01)。结论:TGFBR3是mi R-23b-3p的作用靶基因,并介导mi R-23b-3p促进心房肌成纤维细胞中纤维化相关基因表达。     

Effects of dynamic leg exercise on subcutaneous blood flow rate in the lower limb of man

Subcutaneous blood flow (SBF) was studied simultaneously in the upper arm at heart level and in the lower limb during positional changes and during leg exercise in seven healthy males. SBF was estimated by local clearance of ‘“Xenon registered by portable cadmium telluride detectors. Venous pressure was recorded directly on dorsum on the foot. Changinr the position from supine to head-up tilt, SBF decreased by 43 % (P < 0.01) at the arm level, 40% at the thigh (P < 0.01), 47% at the calf (P < 0.01) and decreased by 51 % at the ankle level (P < 0.01). Performing 20 heel-raisings per min in nearly erect posture, SBF increased by 96% at the thigh (P < 0.01), 25% at the calf (P > 0.1) and increased by 18% at the ankle level (P > 0.1). At 40 heel-raisings per min SBF increased by 99% at the thigh (P < 0.0 1), 121 % at the calf (P < 0.0 1), but only 44% at the ankle level (P > 0.1). During leg exercise subcutaneous vascular resistance was significantly increased at arm and ankle levels. In contrast, a vasodilatory response was noticed at the thigh and calf levels and seemed associated with a decrease in local venous pressure to below the trigger level of the sympathetic veno-arteriolar reflex mechanism. In conclusion, SBF in the lower limb of man was increased during exercise. The increase in SBF could only partly be ascribed to the concomitant increase in perfusion pressure. The local blood flow response seemed modified by changes in sympathetic nervous activity and metabolic rate.
