肾脏固有细胞和浸润细胞在肾小管间质病变中的作用

Tubulointerstitial lesions,occurring in many kinds of renal diseases,have been found to be the predominant factor in the impairment of renal function.The severe and extensive lesions often predict a poor outcome in future.It has been tested recent years that the infiltrating inflammatory cells might play important roles in the onset and deterioration of tubulointerstitial injuries.On the other hand,the resident cells,including the tubular epithelial cells and the fibroblasts,also directly take part in tubulointerstitial inflammation and fibrosis.Researches also dispaly implicated interactions between the infiltrating cells and the resident cells,which contribute to the amplification of inflammation and the progress of fibrosis.     

Investigating the effects of bone cement, cyanoacrylate glue and marine mussel adhesive protein from Mytilus edulis on human osteoblasts and fibroblasts in vitro

Bone cement is a widely used standard fixation substance in Orthopaedic Surgery. Cyanoacrylate glue is available for wound closure to supplement suturing. The mussel adhesive protein extracted from Mytilus edulis (Cell-Tak©, BD Biosciences, Heidelberg, Germany) is an experimental fixation device used for in vitro purposes of cell adhesion.

The aim of this study is to introduce a cell culture model investigating the effects of commonly applied and experimental glues on human fibroblasts and osteoblasts in vitro. Cells cultured without additives served as a control group. Microscopic examination was performed to evaluate the morphologic changes. An apoptosis test (Apo-Tag©, Chemicon International, Temecula, CA, U.S.A.) was applied to determine the rate of natural cell death at the end of the study.

It could be demonstrated that morphological changes in bone cement are different in fibroblasts and osteoblasts. Osteoblasts seem to grow on bone cement and develop an orderly formation. Fibroblasts grow in a confluent monolayer around bone cement but do not adhere to the cement itself. This is a desirable effect since most Orthopaedic applications aim at osteointegration as opposed to fibrous tissue overgrowth. Apoptosis attributed to bone cement is comparable to the respective natural rate of apoptosis. Cyanoacrylate glue and the mussel adhesive protein lead to an almost complete apoptosis in the investigated cells. Their routine application should be avoided. The developed cell culture model seems appropriate for performing further investigations.     

The therapeutic effect of Interleukin-18 on hypertrophic scar through inducing Fas ligand expression

ObjectiveAmong downstream interleukin-18 (IL-18) targets, Fas ligand (FasL) in particular, has been strongly implicated in many conditions. Our study aims to explore the role of IL-18 in hypertrophic scar through enhancing FasL expression.MethodsIL-18 expression in hypertrophic scar tissues and normal tissues were explored by immunohistochemistry, qRT-PCR and Western blotting, and the expression of IL-18 in normal skin fibroblasts and hypertrophic scar fibroblasts by immunofluorescence. Hypertrophic scar fibroblasts treated with recombinant human IL-18 (rhIL-18) were assessed with MTT, Annexin V-FITC/PI, qRT-PCR, ELISA and western blotting. In the hypertrophic scar of rabbit ears, rhIL-18 was injected to determine histological changes with HE and Masson staining. Additionally, the scars were rated based on contour and overall severity using a visual analog scale scores (VAS).ResultsIL-18 was decreased in hypertrophic scar tissues and fibroblasts compared to normal skin tissues and fibroblasts, respectively. Decreased proliferation and increased apoptosis of hypertrophic scar fibroblasts were found after rhIL-18 treatment with enhanced expression of FasL, sFasL FADD, Caspase-8, Caspase-9 and Caspase-3 in a dose-dependent manner. The VAS and thickness of scars in rabbit ears was decreased as time went on after rhIL-18 treatment, with decreases in scar elevation index (SEI) and the increases in FasL expression.ConclusionIL-18 curbs proliferation and promotes apoptosis of hypertrophic scar fibroblasts by enhancing FasL expression. IL-18is a potential target for treatment of hypertrophic scar.
