Localization and expression of chondromodulin-I in the rat cornea

The localization and expression in the rat cornea of chondromodulin-I (ChM-I), an inhibitory angiogenesis factor, were examined by immunohistochemistry, Western blot analysis, ribonuclease protection assay, and real-time PCR assay. We found immunoreactivity for ChM-I in the epithelial layer but not the stromal layer or endothelial layer in the cornea, in addition to the positive ChM-I immunoreactivity in other sites in the eye such as the sclera, retina, and ciliary body. The ChM-I immunoreactivity was most intense at the outside of the basal cells and in their cytoplasm while the intensity of the immunoreactivity decreased gradually from the wing cells to the superficial cells in the corneal epithelial layer. No reactivity however, was detected in the Bowman's membrane or conjunctival epithelial cells which had continuity with the corneal epithelial cells. The expression of ChM-I mRNA was demonstrated in the cornea at one-third less intensity than that in the sclera with choroids and retinal pigment epithelium by ribonuclease protection assay and real-time PCR. ChM-I in the corneal epithelial layer may prevent neovascularization and maintain avascularity in the cornea.     

Localization and induced expression of fusion genes in the rat lung.

Liposome-mediated gene transfer is useful for DNA transfection into cells in culture. We wondered whether this method could be used to introduce new DNA into the intact lung. Fusion genes containing either the Rous sarcoma virus (RSV) promoter or the mouse mammary tumor virus (MMTV) promoter (which contains glucocorticoid response elements) were linked to the bacterial gene chloramphenicol acetyltransferase (CAT), an enzyme not present in mammalian cells. Plasmids containing the RSV-CAT fusion gene were mixed with cationic liposomes (Lipofectin; BRL, Inc., Grand Island, NY), and single doses were instilled into the cervical trachea of anesthetized rats. Control rats received either liposomes or plasmid. After 24, 48, and 72 h, lungs were perfused free of blood, homogenized, and analyzed for CAT enzyme activity. Liver and kidney tissue were also obtained. We found that rats given either intratracheal liposomes or plasmid had no detectable CAT activity. By contrast, 24 h after instillation of lipid:DNA complexes, lung CAT expression remained elevated for the next 48 h but was barely detectable in liver or kidney. In another group of rats, MMTV-CAT:liposome complexes were instilled intratracheally and then the rats were injected with either dexamethasone or saline. We found that the dexamethasone-treated rats had a 5- to 10-fold higher level of lung CAT expression at 24 and 48 h than the saline-treated controls had; liver and kidney CAT levels were negligible in both groups. Dexamethasone treatment did not increase RSV-CAT expression, indicating that the dexamethasone effect on MMTV-CAT expression was related to the presence of the MMTV promoter.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)     

Progressive miRNA expression profiles in cervical carcinogenesis and identification of HPV-related target genes for miR-29

miRNAs have the potential to act on diverse downstream genes, and miRNA signatures of HPV-infected tissues may provide insight into HPV-related carcinogenesis. We set out to profile miRNA expression in HPV-infected samples and relate this to histological and grade-specific alterations in the spectrum of cervical carcinogenesis in vivo. A total of 31 miRNAs showed significant and continuous expression along with the progression from normal cervical tissue to cancer, and six of them were validated in 133 samples. By bioinformatics analyses, we established a putative HPV-associated miRNA-mRNA regulatory network, showing that miR-29 is the most highly enriched. We also found that YY1 and CDK6 were both positively correlated with E6/E7 RNA expression and targeted by tumour-suppressive miR-29. Evidence of miR-29 involvement in HPV infection was further verified in patient samples and by various experimental approaches. Taken together, our results suggest that HPVs have oncogenic properties at least in part by reshaping the milieu of cellular miRNAs. miR-29 restrains cell cycle progression and induces apoptosis via YY1 and CDK6 promoting malignant transformation induced by HPV, although the abnormality of miR-29 in HPV-infected cells might be regulated in an indirect way.

目的观察小鼠角膜碱烧伤后新生淋巴管形成情况,探讨Avastin对小鼠角膜碱烧伤后新生淋巴管形成的影响及其机制。方法制作小鼠角膜碱烧伤模型,随机分为治疗组和烧伤组,烧伤组连续两周内每日左氧氟沙星滴眼液滴眼3次,治疗组连续两周内应用25mg/ml Avastin结膜下隔日注射5μl+每日左氧氟沙星滴眼液滴眼3次,分别于碱烧伤后3d、5d、7d、12d和18d取材。采用免疫组化法,观察VEGF-C在碱烧伤后不同时间段角膜组织内的表达;应用淋巴管内皮透明质酸受体(LYVE-1)标记淋巴管内皮,观察小鼠角膜内新生淋巴管的形成情况。结果在正常小鼠角膜组织内,VEGF-C表达于角膜上皮层和内皮层。在烧伤组碱烧伤角膜内,VEGF-C主要表达于角膜上皮细胞和角膜基质内入侵的炎性细胞,于碱烧伤后3d,VEGF-C的表达达到高峰(0.05),碱烧伤后12d,VEGF-C的表达恢复至正常水平。在治疗组碱烧伤角膜内,VEGF-C的表达在碱烧伤后3d低于烧伤组。Avastin治疗组角膜内,碱烧伤后12d见LYVE-1阳性表达开放状态的新生淋巴管,淋巴管出现的时间较烧伤组明显延迟。结论 Avastin能减少小鼠碱烧伤后角膜新生淋巴管的形成,其机制可能与抑制角膜组织内淋巴管生成因子VEGF-C的表达相关。     

玻璃酸钠壳聚糖纳米粒对烧伤角膜新生血管生长的影响

BACKGROUND:Chitosan nanoparticles-encapsuled sodium hyaluronate is an effective drug for the burned cornea. OBJECTIVE:To verify the effect of sodium hyaluronate/chitosan nanoparticles on the neovascularization in burned cornea. METHODS:Thirty Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly divided into three groups, and the model of burned cornea caused by base was established in the rats of model and experimental groups, followed by respectively treated with 10 μL sodium hyaluronate/chitosan nanoparticle suspension and normal saline, once daily, for consecutive 4 weeks. Rats only given normal saline were used as controls. Four weeks later, the dynamic growth of newly formed blood vessels in the cornea was observed using silt lamp. The levels of tumor necrosis factor-α and interleukin-6 were detected by ELISA, histological changes of the cornea were observed by hematoxylin-eosin staining, and the mRNA expression levels of vascular endothelial growth factor and cyclooxygenase 2 were detected by real-time PCR. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Compared with the control group, the area of the newly formed blood vessel and the levels of tumor necrosis factor-α, vascular endothelial growth factor and cyclooxygenase 2 were significantly increased in the model group (P < 0.05, P < 0.01). In the experimental group, all above indicators were significantly lower than those in the model group (P < 0.05). There were a large number of inflammatory cells and neovascularization in the model group, but only few inflammatory cells in the experimental group. These results show that sodium hyaluronate/chitosan nanoparticles can inhibit the neovascularization in the burned cornea.
