RORα高表达对二烯丙基二硫抑制人胃癌细胞增殖与迁移侵袭的影响

目的观察高表达RORα对二烯丙基二硫(DADS)抑制人胃癌MGC803细胞增殖、迁移与侵袭的影响。方法集落形成实验与流式细胞术检测细胞增殖与细胞周期;细胞划痕和Transwell实验分别检测细胞迁移与侵袭。RT-PCR与Western blot分别检测RORα、MMP-9和TIMP3 mRNA与蛋白表达水平。结果RT-PCR与Western blot检测显示,RORα高表达与DADS处理较对照组与空载体组RORαmRNA与蛋白表达明显上调,DADS+RORα高表达组上调更为显著(P<0.05)。与对照组和空载体组比较,RORα高表达与DADS处理组MMP-9表达下调,TIMP3表达上调,DADS+RORα高表达组改变最为显著。集落形成实验显示,RORα高表达与DADS处理组较对照组与空载体组的集落形成率明显降低。流式细胞术显示,与对照组和空载体组比较,RORα高表达与DADS处理组G2/M期细胞比率明显升高。细胞划痕和Transwell实验显示,RORα高表达与DADS处理组细胞迁移与侵袭能力明显降低。结论RORα高表达可通过上调TIMP3与下调MMP-9促进DADS阻滞MGC803细胞G2/M期和抑制增殖与迁移侵袭。     

IgA1 isolated from Henoch‐Schönlein purpura children promotes proliferation of human mesangial cells in vitro

Previous studies show that the proliferation of human mesangial cells (HMCs) played a significant part in the pathogenesis of Henoch‐Schönlein purpura nephritis (HSPN). The aim of this study was to explore the proliferation of HMCs induced by IgA1 isolated from the sera of HSP patients. HMCs were cultured in three different types of media, including IgA1 from patients with HSP (HSP IgA1 group), healthy children (healthy IgA1 group) and medium (control group). The proliferation of HMCs incubated with IgA1 was determined by cell counting kit‐8 assay and bromodeoxyuridine incorporation. The expression of ERK1/2 and phosphatidylinositol 3 kinase/protein kinase B/mammalian targets of the rapamycin (PI3K/AKt/mTOR) signals and transferrin receptor (TfR/CD71) was detected with the methods of immunoblotting. The results indicated that the proliferation of HMCs significantly increased in the HSP IgA1 group compared with that in the control group or the healthy IgA1 group (P < 0.001). Moreover, we found that IgA1 isolated from HSP patients activated ERK and PI3K/AKt/mTOR signals, and markedly increased TfR/CD71 expression in HMCs. These effects induced by IgA1 isolated from patients with HSP were inhibited by human TfR polyclonal antibody (hTfR pAb) and soluble human transferrin receptor (sTfR), indicating that IgA1‐induced HMC proliferation and ERK1/2 and PI3K/AKt/mTOR activation were dependent on TfR/CD71 engagement. Altogether, these data suggested that TfR/CD71 overexpression and ERK1/2 and PI3K/AKt/mTOR activation were engaged in HMC proliferation induced by IgA1 from HSP patients, which might be related to the mesangial injury of HSPN.     

The Hippo–YAP pathway regulates the proliferation of alveolar epithelial progenitors after acute lung injury

Regeneration of pulmonary epithelial cells plays an important role in the recovery of acute lung injury (ALI), which is defined by pulmonary epithelial cell death. However, the mechanism of the regenerative capacity of alveolar epithelial cells is unknown. Using a lung injury mouse model induced by hemorrhagic shock and lipopolysaccharide, a protein mass spectrometry‐based high‐throughput screening and linage tracing technology to mark alveolar epithelial type 2 cells (AEC2s), we analyzed the mechanism of alveolar epithelial cells proliferation. We demonstrated that the expression of Hippo‐yes‐associated protein 1 (YAP1) key proteins were highly consistent with the regularity of the proliferation of alveolar epithelial type 2 cells after ALI. Furthermore, the results showed that YAP1+ cells in lung tissue after ALI were mainly Sftpc lineage‐labeled AEC2s. An in vitro proliferation assay of AEC2s demonstrated that AEC2 proliferation was significantly inhibited by both YAP1 small interfering RNA and Hippo inhibitor. These findings revealed that YAP functioned as a key regulator to promote AEC2s proliferation, with the Hippo signaling pathway playing a pivotal role in this process.

莼菜休眠芽解除休眠及生根的研究

莼菜为世界著名珍稀水生蔬菜,具有很高的食用和药用价值。已有研究显示,可通过冬芽实现莼菜复壮,找出休眠解除的最佳方法是复壮的基本前提。本实验以莼菜冬季型休眠芽（冬芽）为实验材料,通过光照、温度等处理探求莼菜冬芽的休眠解除方法。莼菜冬芽生根率随着光照强度的增加,其生根率由全黑暗0%显著增长至（16.0±1.3）%;温度和处理时间对莼菜冬芽生根率、根长、生根根数和含水量有显著性影响。其中,35 °C水浴处理6 h后各项指标均到达较大值,上述指标分别为（96.1±2.8）%、（7.2±0.2） cm、74.5±6.0和（83.6±0.3）%;40 °C（6 h）、45 °C（1、3和6 h）和50 °C（10、20和30 min）水浴处理后莼菜冬芽绝大部分失绿变黄;随着培养时间的延长,其冬芽全部腐烂。光照能够促进莼菜冬芽生根;土培生根效果较为显著;适度水浴加热处理能有效解除莼菜冬芽的休眠,35 °C水浴处理6 h为最佳处理方案。
