Apoptosis induced by preoperative oral 5′-DFUR administration in gastric adenocarcinoma and its mechanism of action

AIM: To study the apoptosis induced by preoperative oral 5'-DFUR administration in gastric adenocarcinoma and its mechanism of action. METHODS: Sixty gastric cancer patients were divided randomly into three groups (20 each group) before operation: group one: 5'-DFUR oral administration at the dose of 800-1200mg/d for 3-5d, group two: 500mg 5-FU 200 mg/d CF by venous drip for 3-5d, group three (control group). One or two days after chemotherapy, the patients were operated. Fas/FasL, PD-ECGF and PCNA were examined by immunohistochemistry and apoptotic tumor cells were detected by in situ TUNEL method. Fifty-four patients received gastrectomy, including 12 palliative resections and 42 radical resections. Six patients were excluded. Finally 18 cases in 5'-DFUR group, 16 cases in CF 5-FU group, and 20 cases in control group were analyzed. RESULTS: There was no significant difference in patient mean age, gender, white blood cell count, haematoglo-bin (HB), thromboplastin, perioperative complication incidence, radical or palliation resection, invasion depth (T), lymphonode involvement (N), metastasis (M) and TNM staging among the three groups. However, the PCNA index (PI) in 5'-DFUR group (40.51±12.62) and 5-FU CF group (41.12±15.26) was significantly lower than that in control group (58.33±15.69) (F=9.083, P=0.000). The apoptotic index (AI) in 5'-DFUR group (14.39±9.49) and 5-FU CF group (14.11±9.68) was significantly higher than that in control group (6.88±7.37) (F=4.409, P=0.017). The expression rates of Fas and FasL in group one and group three were 66.7% (12/18) and 50% (9/18), 43.8% (7/16) and 81.3% (13/16), 45.0% (9/20) and 85% (17/20), respectively. The expression rate of FasL in 5'-DFUR group was significantly lower than that in the other two groups (X2=6.708, P=0.035). Meanwhile, the expression rate of PD-ECGF was significantly lower in 5'-DFUR group (4/18, 28.6%) than in CF 5-FU group (9/16, 56.3%) and control group (13/20, 65.0%) (X2=7.542, P=0.023). The frequency of Fas expression was significantly correlated with palliative or radical resection (X2= 7.651, P= 0.006), invasion depth (X2= 8.927, P=0.003), lymphatic spread (X2 =4.488, P=0.034) and UICC stages (X2 =8.063, P=0,045) respectively. By the end of March 2005, 45 patients were followed up. The 0.5-, 1-, 2-, 3-year survival rates were 96%, 73%, 60%, 48%, respectively, which were related with T, N, M and Fas expression, but not with PD-ECGF and FasL expression. CONCLUSION: Preoperative oral 5'-DFUR administration may induce apoptosis of gastric carcinoma cells and decrease tumor cell proliferation index, but cannot improve the prognosis of patients with gastric cancer. Down-regulation of FasL and PD-ECGF expression mediated by 5'-DFUR may be one of its anti-cancer mechanisms. Fas expression correlates with the progression of gastric carcinoma and may be an effective prognostic factor.     

Curcumin attenuated paracetamol overdose induced hepatitis

AIM: To investigate whether curcumin could attenuate hepatitis in mice with paracetamol overdose. METHODS: Male mice were divided into four groups. Group 1 (control, n = 8); was fed with distilled water; Group 2 [N-acetyl-P-aminophenol (APAP), n = 8]; was fed with a single dose of 400 mg/kg APAP dissolved in distilled water; Group 3 [APAP + curcumin (CUR) 200, n = 8], was fed with a single dose of 400 mg/kg APAP and 200 mg/kg CUR; Group 4 (APAP + CUR 600, n = 8), was fed with a single dose of 400 mg/kg APAP and 600 mg/ kg CUR. Twenty-four hours later, the liver was removed to examine hepatic glutathione (GSH), hepatic malondialdehyde (MDA), and histopathologically. Then whole blood was withdrawn from heart to determine transaminase (serum glutamic oxaloacetic transaminase and serum glutamic pyruvic transaminase) and inflammatory cytokines [interleukin (IL)-12 and IL-18] levels by enzyme linked immunosorbent assay.RESULTS: Serum transaminase, hepatic MDA, and inflammatory cytokines increased significantly in the APAP compared with the control group. Curcumin supplementation in APAP + CUR 200 and APAP + CUR 600 groups significantly decreased these parameters compared with the APAP group. The level of GSH decreased significantly in the APAP compared with the control group. Curcumin supplementation in APAP + CUR 200 and APAP + CUR 600 groups significantly increased these parameters compared with the APAP group. The histological appearance of the liver in the control group showed normal. In the APAP-treated group, the liver showed extensive hemorrhagic hepatic necrosis at all zones. Curcumin supplementation in APAP + CUR 200 and APAP + CUR 600 groups, caused the liver histopathology to improve. In the APAP + CUR 200 group, the liver showed focal necrosis and but the normal architecture was well preserved in APAP + CUR 600 group. CONCLUSION: APAP overdose can cause liver injury. Results indicate that curcumin prevents APAP-induced hepatitis through the improvement of liver histopathology by decreased oxidative stress,     

Curcumin protects against acetaminophen-induced apoptosis in hepatic injury

AIM:To explore the effects of curcumin(CMN)on hepatic injury induced by acetaminophen(APAP)in vivo.METHODS:Male mice were randomly divided into three groups:groupⅠ(control)mice received the equivalent volumes of phosphate-buffered saline(PBS)intraperitoneally(ip);GroupⅡ[APAP+carboxymethylcellulose(CMC)]mice received 1%CMC(vehicle)2h before APAP injection;GroupⅢ(APAP+CMN)mice received curcumin(10 or 20 mg/kg,ip)2 h before before or after APAP challenge.In GroupsⅡandⅢ,APAP was dissolved in pyrogen-free PBS and injected at a single dose of 300 mg/kg.CMN was dissolved in 1%CMC.Mice were sacrificed 16 h after the APAP injection to determine alanine aminotransferase(ALT)levels in serum and malondialdehyde(MDA)accumulation,superoxide dismutase(SOD)activity and hepatocyte apoptosis in liver tissues.RESULTS:Both pre-and post-treatment with curcumin resulted in a significant decrease in serum ALT compared with APAP treatment group(10 mg/kg:801.46±661.34 U/L;20 mg/kg:99.68±86.48 U/L vs 5406.80±1785.75 U/L,P<0.001,respectively).The incidence of liver necrosis was significantly lowered in CMN treated animals.MDA contents were significantly reduced in 20 mg/kg CMN pretreatment group,but increased in APAP treated group(10.96±0.87 nmol/mg protein vs 16.03±2.58 nmol/mg protein,P<0.05).The decrease of SOD activity in APAP treatment group and the increase of SOD in 20 mg/kg CMN pretreatment group were also detected(24.54±4.95 U/mg protein vs 50.21±1.93 U/mg protein,P<0.05).Furthermore,CMN treatment efficiently protected against APAPinduced apoptosis via increasing Bcl-2/Bax ratio.CONCLUSION:CMN has significant therapeutic potential in both APAP-induced hepatotoxicity and other types of liver diseases.     

Alpha-fetoprotein triggers hepatoma cells escaping from immune surveillance through altering the expression of Fas／FasL and tumor necrosis factor related apoptosis-inducing ligand and its receptor of lymphocytes and liver cancer cells

AIM: To investigate the mechanism ofα-fetoprotein (AFP) in escaping from the host immune surveillance of hepatoc-ellular carcinoma. METHODS: AFP purified from human umbilical blood was administrated into the cultured human lymphoma Jurkat T cell line or hepatoma cell line, Bel7402 in vitro. The expression of tumor necrosis factor related apoptosis-inducing ligand (TRAIL) and its receptor (TRAILR) mRNA were analyzed by Northern blot and Western blot was used to detect the expression of Fas and Fas ligand (FasL) protein. RESULTS: AFP (20 mg/L) could promote the expression of FasL and TRAIL, and inhibit the expression of Fas and TRAILR of Bel7402 cells. For Jurkat cell line, AFP could suppress the expression of FasL and TRAIL, and stimulate the expression of Fas and TRAILR. AFP also could synergize with Bel7402 cells to inhibit the expression of FasL protein and TRAIL mRNA in Jurkat cells. The monoclonal antibody against AFP (anti-AFP) could abolish these functions of AFP. CONCLUSION: AFP is able to promote the expression of FasL and TRAIL in hepatoma cells and enhance the expression of Fas and TRAILR in lymphocytes. These could elicit the escape of hepatocellular carcinoma cells from the host's lymphocytes immune surveillance.     

The role of 131Ⅰ in the apoptosis of thyrocytes of patient with Graves' disease

The changes of Fas.FasL and Bcl-2 expression in thyrocytes of patients with Graves'disease were investigated before and 2 weeks after 131Ⅰ administration. The results showed that 131Ⅰ couhl induce thyrocytes to express the apoptotic protein Fas, FasL and the anti-apoptotic protein Bet-2 in patients with Graves'disease. A statistically significant correlation was found between the dose of 131Ⅰ and the expression levels of Fas and FasL but not Bet-2 ,suggesting that early onset of hypothyroid after 131Ⅰ administration may be due to the increased expression of Fas and FasL in thyrocytes.

Inhibition of Fas/FasL mRNA expression and TNF-α release in concanavalin A-induced liver injury in mice by bicyclol

AIM: Bicyclol, 4,4'-dimethoxy-5,6,5',6'-dimethylene-dioxy-2-hydroxymethyl-2'-carbonyl biphenyl, is a new anti-hepatitis drug. The aim of the present study was to investigate the protective effect of bicyclol on concanavalin A (Con A)-induced immunological liver injury in mice and its mechanism.METHODS: Liver injury was induced by injection of Con A via tail vein of mice and assessed biochemically and histologically. Serum transaminase and tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-α) were determined. Liver lesions were observed by light microscope. Expressions of TNF-α, interferon gamma (IFN-γ), Fas and Fas ligand (FasL) mRNA in the livers were measured by RT-PCR.RESULTS: Serum transaminase level and liver lesions in Con A-induced mice were markedly reduced by oral administration of 100, 200 mg/kg of bicyclol. TNF-α level in serum was also reduced by bicyclol. Con A injection induced up-regulation of TNF-α, IFN-γ, Fas and FasL mRNA expression in liver tissues. Bicyclol significantly down-regulated the expression of IFN-γ, Fas and FasL mRNA, but only slightly affected TNF-α mRNA expression in liver tissues.CONCLUSION: Bicyclol protects against Con A-induced liver injury mainly through inhibition of Fas/FasL mRNA expression in liver tissues and TNF-α release in mice.     

HDV/HBV感染树鼩肝组织Fas/FasL表达与肝细胞凋亡

目的 探讨HDV感染树鼩肝组织中Fas/FasL表达与HDV感染之间的关系,以及Fas/FasL在丁型肝炎肝细胞凋亡中的作用。 方法 采用免疫组化和原位杂交技术对45份HDV感染树鼩肝组织中HDAg,Fas/FasL和Fas/FasL mRNA的表达进行了检测;应用原位末端标记技术对肝细胞凋亡进行了检测;并应用免疫组化双重染色对HDAg,Fas/FasL的表达以及肝细胞凋亡进行了检测。 结果 45份肝组织中有39份可检出Fas/FasL(阳性率87％),有41份可检出凋亡细胞(阳性率91％),HDAg表达与Fas/FasL表达之间有显著相关性(X_1~2=29.2,X_2~2=27.9,P<0.05),HDAg表达越强,Fas和FasL表达也越强,凋亡在HDAg阳性和阴性细胞中均可发生,以HDAg阳性细胞发生为主,Fas/FasL表达与肝细胞凋亡之间有显著相关性(X_1~2=35.1,X_2~2=40.2,p<0.05),Fas和FasL表达越强,凋亡阳性细胞越多。 结论 丁型肝炎病毒感染和未感染的肝细胞均可发生凋亡,但凋亡只在少数细胞发生;肝细胞内的病毒抗原表达可诱导Fas/FasL的表达;Fas/FasL肝细胞凋亡中起重要作用。     

外周血淋巴细胞凋亡调控因子Fas/FasL和血清可溶性Fas与川崎病的相关性研究

目的 探讨Fas抗原与Fas配体(FasL)及可溶性Fas(sFas)在川崎病(KD)发病中的作用及临床意义.方法 应用流式细胞仪对急性期和缓解期KD患者外周血淋巴细胞(PBLC)上Fas和FasL的表达情况进行了检测,用双抗体夹心酶联免疫吸附试验(ELISA)检测KD患者急性期和缓解期血清sFas的含量.同时检测红细胞沉降率(ESR)、C反应蛋白(CRP).结果 急性期KD患者PBLC上Fas和FasL的表达分别为(14.2±0.5)%和(1.61±0.09)%,较缓解期KD(15.7士0.5)%和(1.95±0.09)%显著降低(P<0.05和P<0.01),急性期和缓解期KD患者PBLC上Fas表达较健康对照组(20.8±0.5)%显著降低(P均<0.01);急性期和缓解期患者PBLC上FasL的表达较健康对照组(2.38±0.10)%显著降低(P均<0.01);急性期和缓解期KD患者血清中sFas水平分别为(1906±55)μg/L和(1622±52)μg/L,明显高于健康对照组(1151±51)μg/L(P均<0.01),急性期sFas明显高于缓解期(P<0.01).sFas与ESR、CRP呈正相关(P均<0.01).结论 KD患者PBLc上Fas/FasL及循环sFas的表达均有异常,表现为Fas/FasL均下降,sFas增高,提示淋巴细胞Fas/FasL异常表达及Fas介导的细胞凋亡可能与KD的免疫异常及发病有关,sFas可作为病情活动性和治疗效果评价的指标.
