摘要:
Objectives: The protective response against Treponema pallidum (Tp) infection of a DNA vaccine enhanced by an adjuvant CpG ODN was investigated. Results: The mucosal adjuvant CpG ODN enhanced the production of higher levels of anti-TpGpd antibodies induced by pcD/Gpd-IL-2 in rabbits. It also resulted in higher levels of secretion of IL-2 and IFN-α, and facilitated T cell proliferation and differentiation (p < 0.05). No significant difference about testing index above-mentioned was found in the intranasal immunization group of pcD/Gpd-IL-2 vaccine adjuvanted by CpG ODN when compared with the immunization by pcD/ Gpd-IL-2 vaccine intramuscular injection alone (p > 0.05). Furthermore, CpG ODN stimulated the production of mucosaspecific anti-sIgA antibodies and resulted in the lowest Tp-positive rate (6.7%) for Tp-infection of skin lesions and the lowest rates (8.3%) of ulceration lesions, thus achieving better protective effects. Methods: New Zealand rabbits were immunized with the eukaryotic vector encoding recombinant pcD/Gpd-IL-2 using intramuscular multi-injection or together with mucosal enhancement via a nasal route. The effect of the mucosal adjuvant CpG ODN was examined. Conclusions: The CpG ODN adjuvant significantly enhances the humoral and cellular immune effects of the immunization by pcD/Gpd-IL-2 with mucosal enhancement via nasal route. It also stimulates strong mucosal immune effects, thus initiating more efficient immune-protective effects. © 2013 Landes Bioscience.

摘要:
Recent studies have demonstrated that natural water that has 65% of the deuterium concentration depleted, can exhibit anti-tumor properties. However, the anti-tumor effects of DDW on various nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) cells have not previously been reported. In the present study, NPC cell lines and normal preosteoblast MC3T3-E1 cells were grown in RPMI1640 media containing different deuterium concentrations (50-150. ppm). The effects of DDW on the proliferation and migration of NPC and MC3T3-E1 cells were investigated using the MTT, plate colony formation, and Transwell assays, as well as Boyden chamber arrays, flow cytometry (FCM), western blot and immunofluorescence. We found that DDW was an effective inhibitor of NPC cell proliferation, plated colony formation, migration and invasion. In contrast, the growth of normal preosteoblast MC3T3-E1 cells was promoted when they were cultured in the presence of DDW. Cell cycle analysis revealed that DDW caused cell cycle arrest in the G1/S transition, reduced the number of cells in the S phase and significantly increased the population of cells in the G1 phase in NPC cells. Western blot analysis revealed that treatment with DDW significantly increased the expression of NADPH:quinone oxidoreductase-1 (NQO1), while immunofluorescence assay analysis revealed that treatment with DDW decreased the expression of PCNA and matrix metalloproteinase 9 (MMP9) in NPC cells. These results demonstrated that DDW is a novel, non-toxic adjuvant therapeutic agent that suppresses NPC cell proliferation, migration, and invasion by inducing the expression of NQO1 and causing cell cycle arrest, as well as decreasing PCNA and MMP9 expression. © 2013 Elsevier Masson SAS.

摘要:
Soybean is one of most important dicotyledonous food crops and is widely planted in Hunan Province, China. However, mining activity causes contamination of the soil in which soybean grows. To assess the impact of mining-induced soil contamination on soybean plants, a geoaccumulation index (I<inf>geo</inf>) was used to evaluate 20 soil samples from the mining and smelting areas of southern Hunan Province. The results indicated that Zn ranged from uncontaminated to a moderately contaminated level (I<inf>geo</inf><1), Pb was at a strongly contaminated level (I<inf>geo</inf>>3), and Cd was at an extremely contaminated level (I<inf>geo</inf>>5) across the whole study area. All of the studied soybean plants were affected by heavy metal Pb and Cd contamination, and the mean concentrations in seeds were 13.9mg/kg and 2.95mg/kg, respectively. The estimated bioconcentration factor and translocation factor showed that the soybean roots had a strong Cd bioconcentration capability and the stems had a strong translocation capability in terms of Pb, Cd, and Zn, with preferential transference of metals to the soybean leaves. The bioavailable fraction in the soil was characterized by the exchangeable fraction of heavy metals. In the present study, the bioavailable fractions of Pb, Cd, and Zn were significantly positively correlated with the concentration of these metals in soybean tissues (roots, stems, leaves, husks, and seeds). ©2013 SETAC.

摘要:
Piromelatine, a novel investigational multimodal sleep medicine, is developed for the treatment of patients with primary and co-morbid insomnia. Piromelatine has been shown to inhibit weight gain and improve insulin sensitivity in high-fat/high-sucrose-fed (HFHS) rats. Considering that piromelatine has also been implicated in lowering of triglyceride levels in HFHS rats, this work elucidated whether this effect involves in the regulation of adipose triglyceride lipase (ATGL) and hormone-sensitive lipase (HSL) in triglyceride (TG) metabolism. In this study, we investigated the effects of piromelatine and MT2 receptors inhibition on TG content, insulin-stimulated glucose uptake, and the expressions of ATGL and HSL in 3T3-L1 adipocytes preincubated in high glucose and high insulin (HGI) conditions. Our results showed that culturing 3T3-L1 adipocytes under HGI conditions increased triglyceride accumulation with concomitant decrease of ATGL and HSL expression, inducing insulin resistance in 3T3-L1 adipocytes. We also found that triglyceride accumulation was significantly inhibited and the levels of ATGL/HSL increased after melatonin or piromelatine treatment. The effects of melatonin/piromelatine (10 nM) were counteracted by pretreatment with the relatively selective MT2 receptor antagonist luzindole (100 nM). In this study, our data demonstrate that piromelatine reverses high glucose and high insulin-induced triglyceride accumulation in 3T3-L1 adipocytes, possibly through up-regulating of ATGL and HSL expression via a melatonin-dependent manner. © 2013 Elsevier Masson SAS.

摘要:
低压水银管是常见的灭菌工具,其一般采用的是波长为254 nm的UVC作为灭菌光源.而UVA(365 nm波长)配合发光二极管(light-emitting diodes,LED)也有明显的杀菌效果.本研究从灭菌能力,照射后细菌的光修复能力和再生长能力以及能耗等方面入手,比较短波长的UVC和长波长的UVA/LED对副溶血性弧菌的灭菌效果.结果显示,UVA/LED比UVC有更强的杀菌能力,且在受到UVA/LED照射后,副溶血性弧菌的再生长明显慢于单纯UVC处理后的细菌;对副溶血性弧菌的光修复酶基因表达水平进行检测发现,UVA/LED照射后副溶血性孤菌三种光修复酶基因的表达水平都无激活现象,而UVC处理后的细菌三种基因表达水平明显升高.我们认为UVA/LED可能抑制副溶血性弧菌的光修复现象.但在具备以上优势的同时,UVA/LED的能耗大大高于UVC,因此该技术还有待进一步改进.

摘要:
This study was done to explore the role of microRNA-98 (miR-98) in cisplatin sensitization in human lung adenocarcinoma cell line. Differential expressions of miRNAs were analysed between cisplatin-resistant human lung adenocarcinoma cell line A549/DDP and its parental cell A549 by miRNAs microarray, of which 14 miRNAs were showed to be significantly (> 2-fold) up-regulated and 8 miRNAs had marked down-regulation (< 0.5-fold) in A549/DDP cells compared with in A549 cells. MiR-98, a member in the let-7 family, acts as a negative regulator in the expression of HMGA2 (high mobility group A2) oncogene, and it has been shown to have a nearly 3-fold decrease in A549/DDP cells. We found that elevated expression of miR-98 led to a higher sensitivity of A549/DDP cells to cisplatin, and the protein level of HMGA2, was clearly up-regulated in both A549/DDP and A549 cells by miR-98. Moreover, both Bcl-XL and Bcl-2, were down-regulated in the Pre-miR-98(TM) transfectants cells. We for the first time demonstrated that the expression of miR-98 increases cells spontaneous apoptosis and sensitizes cells to cisplatin at least in part via HMGA2 up-regulation. Our findings provided insight into some specific miRNAs in lung cancer as potential therapeutic targets.

摘要:
TNF-α and IFN-γ are the major pro-inflammatory cytokines in the β-cell destruction. However, the underlying mechanism remains unclear. The present study used a murine insulinoma cell line MIN6 for further investigation of the effect of Caspase-3 on the cytokines-induced pancreatic β-cell apoptosis and analyzed the mechanisms involved in the activation of Caspase-3. It was showed that the combination of IFN-γ and TNF-α significantly reduced the viability of MIN6 cells and the observed cells growth inhibition was due to cell apoptosis as judged by the morphological changes under a confocal laser scanning microscopy and FACS assay of Annexin-V/7-AAD double staining. Accompanying with NF-κB activation and Bcl-2 downregulation, both the cleaved Caspase-3 and PARP, a known substrate of Caspase-3 in vivo, were observed at 24 and 12 h, respectively, after cells exposure to IFN-γ and TNF-α treatment. Pretreatment of Caspase-3 inhibitors remarkably attenuated IFN-γ- and TNF-α-induced cells apoptosis. Inhibition of NF-κB activation led to the increase in Bcl-2 expression, a significant attenuation in Caspase-3 activity, and an obvious amelioration in cells viability in IFN-γ- and TNF-α-treated MIN6 cells. Taken together, our results indicate that Caspase-3 is critical for the induction of MIN6 cells apoptosis and it's activation is further confirmed to be related to the NF-κB-mediated Bcl-2 downregulation, which may be the underlying mechanism of IFN-γ- and TNF-α-mediated MIN6 cells apoptosis. © 2013 Springer Science+Business Media New York.

摘要:
梅毒是一种由梅毒螺旋体(Treponema pallidum,Tp)引起的临床表现复杂的性传播疾病,近年来世界各国包括中国的梅毒发病率呈逐年上升趋势,研制有效疫苗预防该种疾病已成为各国关注的公共卫生问题.DNA疫苗具有免疫效果好且持久、无毒力回复等特点成为近年来研究热点.对于Tp核酸疫苗研究,国内外除了本课题组构建TpDNA疫苗免疫新西兰兔进行免疫活性的初步研究外,尚未见Tp核酸疫苗的相关研究.本研究旨在探讨评价白细胞介素-2(interleukin-2,IL-2)与Tp膜蛋白GpdDNA疫苗用壳聚糖(chitosan,CS)纳米颗粒包裹联合免疫新西兰兔后对Tp皮肤感染后的保护效应.将真核表达重组体pcDNA3.1(+)/IL-2和pcDNA3.1(+)/TpGpd采用壳聚糖纳米颗粒包裹或未包裹方式处理后分别或联合免疫新西兰兔,每隔2周加强1次共免疫3次,并于初次免疫后第10周各实验组兔皮下接种Tp标准株进行背部皮肤感染实验,观察记录感染早期各实验组皮损的变化情况,在免疫及感染期间不同时间点ELISA检测免疫兔特异性抗体产生水平和脾细胞IL-2及IFN-诱导水平,MTT法检测兔脾细胞增殖水平.初步结果证实,pcD/IL-2基因佐剂可以显著加强pTpGpd疫苗在免疫期(0~8周)兔体内的特异性抗体及脾细胞增殖分化水平以及维持Tp感染后168天时间内长期稳定的高抗体水平及高脾细胞增殖分化水平.pcD/IL-2基因佐剂和CS纳米颗粒的联合使用对pcD/TpGpd疫苗的抗Tp皮肤感染的保护性效应达到最佳.

摘要:
To investigate the effects of neopterin on ABCA1 expression and cholesterol efflux in human THP-1 macrophage-derived foam cells, and to explore the role of the liver X receptor alpha (LXRα) involved. In the present study, THP-1 cells were pre-incubated with ox-LDL to become foam cells. The protein and mRNA expression were examined by Western blot assays and real-time quantitative PCR, respectively. Liquid scintillation counting and high performance liquid chromatography assays were used to test cellular cholesterol efflux and cholesterol content. Neopterin decreased ABCA1 expression and cholesterol efflux in a time- and concentration-dependent manner in THP-1 macrophage-derived foam cells, and the LXRα siRNA can reverse the inhibitory effects induced by neopterin. Neoterin has a negative regulation on ABCA1 expression via the LXRα signaling pathway, which suggests the aggravated effects of neopterin on atherosclerosis.

摘要:
目的 研究二苯乙烯苷(TSG)对过氧化氢(H2O2)诱导的人脐静脉内皮细胞凋亡的作用以及TSG是否通过调节X连锁凋亡抑制蛋白(XIAP)的表达抗内皮细胞凋亡.方法 预先用不同剂量TSG(1~ 100 μmol/L)处理人脐静脉内皮细胞24h,再用300 μmol/L H2O2作用细胞24h.采用MTT法检测细胞活力,Hoeschest染色及流式细胞仪检测细胞凋亡.RT-PCR及Western blot检测TSG、XIAP抑制剂Embelin作用细胞后XIAP的表达.结果 300 μmol/L H2O2作用HUVECs细胞24 h可有效降低细胞活力,诱导细胞凋亡;1 ~ 100 μmol/L TSG预处理24 h均可提高细胞存活率,抑制细胞凋亡;30 μmol/L Embelin预处理细胞6h后再用TSG预处理24h,细胞凋亡率较TSG预处理组明显上升,细胞活力显著降低.RT-PCR、Western blot结果显示H2O2处理后,细胞XIAP表达水平显著降低;与H2O2组相比,1~ 100 μmol/L TSG预处理24h后,XIAP表达升高;与TSG预处理组相比,Embelin预处理6h后再用TSG预处理24h,XIAP的表达降低.结论 TSG能抑制H2O2诱导的人脐静脉内皮细胞凋亡,其作用机制与上调XIAP的表达有关.
