Anti-inflammatory effect of erythropoietin pretreatment on cardiomyocytes with hypoxia/reoxygenation injury and the possible mechanism

Objective： To investigate the anti-inflammatory effect of erythropoietin （EPO） pretreatment on cardiomyocytes exposed to hypoxialreoxygenation injury （H/R） and explore the possible mechanism.
Methods： The cultured neonatal rats＇ ventricular cardiomyocytes were divided randomly into 4 groups, control group （C group）, EPO pretreatment group （E group）, EPO and pyrrolidine dithiocarbamate （PDTC） pretreatment group （EP group） and PDTC pretreatment group （P group）. After 24 hours＇ pretreatment, the cardiomyocytes were exposed to H/R. After pretreatment and H/R, the expression of tumor necrosis factor- α （TNF- α ） gene in all the groups was detected by RT-PCR and Western blot. The nuclear factor- κ B （NF- κB） activity was detected by electrophoretic mobility shift assay （EMSA） and the inhibitor- κB α （Ⅰ- κB α） protein level was detected by Western blot.
Results： The decrement of Ⅰ- κB a protein and the increasing NF- KB activity were found in cardiomyocytes pretreated with EPO before H/R compared to other groups （t=3.321, 4.183, P〈0.01）. However, after H/R, NF- κB activity and expression of TNF- α gene were significantly reduced, Ⅰ- κB a protein expression was increased in cardiomyocytes of E group compared to other groups （t=-3.425, 3.687, 3.454, P〈0.01）. All theses changes caused by EPO pretreatment were eliminated by the intervention of PDTC （an antagonist to NF- κB） during pretreatment.
Conclusions： EPO pretreatment can inhibit the activation of NF- κB and upregulation of TNF- α gene in cardiomyocytes exposed to H/R through a negative feedback of NF- κB signaling pathway, and thus produces the anti-inflammatory effect. This might be one of the ways EPO produces the anti-inflammatory effect.

Serial in vivo MR tracking of magnetically labeled neural spheres transplanted in chronic EAE mice.

Neural stem cell (NSC) transplantation has been shown to attenuate the severity of experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE), an animal model of multiple sclerosis (MS). Central to the future success of NSC transplantation in MS is the ability of transplanted cells to migrate from the site of transplantation to relevant foci of disease. Using magnetically labeled mouse neurospheres and human embryonic stem cell (hESC)-derived neurospheres, we applied serial magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) to assess the biodynamics of transplanted cell migration in a chronic mouse EAE model. Magnetic labeling did not affect the in vitro and in vivo characteristics of cells as multipotential precursors. Cell migration occurred along white matter (WM) tracts (especially the corpus callosum (CC), fimbria, and internal capsule), predominantly early in the acute phase of disease, and in an asymmetric manner. The distance of cell migration correlated well with clinical severity of disease and the number of microglia in the WM tracts, supporting the notion that inflammatory signals promote transplanted cell migration. This study shows for the first time that hESC-derived neural precursors also respond to tissue signals in an MS model, similarly to rodent cells. The results are directly relevant for designing and optimizing cell therapies for MS, and achieving a better understanding of in vivo cell dynamics and cell-tissue interactions.     

肝癌组织端粒酶逆转录酶hTERT基因及GGT-mRNA-H亚型表达与肝癌早期诊断的研究

目的：研究肝癌组织中端粒酶逆转录酶hTERT基因及谷氨酰转移酶GGTmRNA-H亚型表达，探讨其在肝癌早期诊断中的意义。方法：应用RT—PCR法，检测65例原发性肝癌患者癌组织及癌周组织、108例良性肝病肝组织、6例健康对照肝组织的hTERT与GGTmRNA—H亚型，观察这两种基因的表达情况。结果：在65例原发性肝癌中，癌组织hTERT阳性56例（86．2％），GGTmRNA-H亚型阳性6l例（93．8％），AFP阳性40例（61．5％）（P〈0．05）；hTERT在20例小肝癌癌组织阳性表达16例（80．0％），GGTmRNA—H亚型阳性表达18例（90．0％），与健康对照组差异有统计学意义（P〈0．05）。急慢性肝炎组、肝硬化组与健康对照组比较，端粒酶逆转录酶、GGTmRNA-H亚型阳性表达率虽明显升高，但其差异无统计学意义（P〉0．05）。结论：肝癌组织中hTERT、GGTmRNA-H亚型联合分析可弥补AFP检测的不足，对提高肝癌、癌前病变的早期诊断具有重要意义。小肝癌中端粒酶活性增高在癌形成中扮演重要的角色。hTERT基因检测比AFP更敏感、特异性更高，有望成为肝癌早期诊断的理想指标。
