Bone marrow mesenchymal stem cell transplantation improves radiation-induced heart injury through DNA damage repair in rat model

Radiotherapy is an effective form of therapy for most thoracic malignant tumors. However, myocardial injury resulting from the high doses of radiation is a severe complication. Here we aimed to study the possibility of reducing radiation-induced myocardial injury with mesenchymal stem cell (MSC) transplantation. We used MSCs extracted from bone marrow (BMSCs) to transplant via the tail vein into a radiation-induced heart injury (RIHI) rat model. The rats were divided into six groups: a Sham group, an IRR (irradiation) group, and four IRR + BMSCs transplantation groups obtained at different time points. After irradiation, BMSC transplantation significantly enhanced the cardiac function in rats. By analyzing the expression of PPAR-α, PPAR-γ, TGF-β, IL-6, and IL-8, we found that BMSC transplantation alleviated radiation-induced myocardial fibrosis and decreased the inflammatory reaction. Furthermore, we found that expression of γ-H2AX, XRCC4, DNA ligase4, and TP53BP1, which are associated with DNA repair, was up-regulated, along with increased secretion of growth factors SDF-1, CXCR4, VEGF, and IGF in rat myocardium in the IRR + BMSCs transplantation groups compared with the IRR group. Thus, BMSC transplantation has the potential to improve RIHI via DNA repair and be a new therapeutic approach for patients with myocardial injury.

苦荞查尔酮合酶基因FtCHS1启动子的克隆及分析

采用染色体步移技术,从苦荞（Fagopyrum tataricum Gaertn.）中克隆获得FtCHS1基因5'端侧翼序列,共1038 bp,将其命名为P_FtCHS1。生物信息学分析表明,P_FtCHS1中A/T碱基含量为63.5%,含有4个可能的转录起始位点,分别位于起始密码子上游-684~-734、-692~-742、-920~-970、-929~-979 bp处,该序列包含TATA-Box和CAAT-Box等启动子核心元件以及与光、低温和激素应答等相关的功能元件。本研究进一步构建了P_FtCHS1-pBI101植物表达载体,并瞬时转化拟南芥（Arabidopsis thaliana L.）叶片,结果显示该序列可驱动GUS报告基因的表达。低温（4℃）和光照（UV-B）处理苦荞幼芽后,采用荧光定量PCR技术分析FtCHS1基因的表达量,结果表明P_FtCHS1可响应低温和紫外环境胁迫,从而引起FtCHS1基因表达量发生变化。     

A Preliminary Study about the Potential Effects of Heavy Metals on the Human Male Reproductive Parameters in HIV-Infected Population in China

Due to the inconsistent effects of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) on the human male reproduction in previous studies and the impacts of environmental exposures, such as heavy metals, on male reproduction receiving little attention in HIV-infected population, the aim of present study was to investigate whether heavy metals have potential effects on reproductive parameters in HIV-infected men. The current study assessed the associations between semen quality or serum hormone and concentration of the three heavy metal toxicants (lead (Pb), cadmium (Cd), and zinc (Zn)) in seminal, urine, and serum, and 50 HIV-infected men were recruited in the present study. Concentrations of Pb, Cd, and Zn were measured in three fluids by graphite furnace atomic absorption spectrophotometer. Semen analyses were performed according to World Health Organization criteria. Serum samples were analyzed for follicle-stimulating hormone, luteinizing hormone, and testosterone. HIV RNA viral load was determined by HIV virus loads kit. Spearman’s rank correlations were used for correlation analyses. The results showed that the concentrations of Pb, Cd, and Zn were significantly correlated with semen quality and serum hormone. HIV-1 virus loads were significantly associated with increased seminal Pb. However, HIV-1 virus loads were not statistically associated with semen quality and serum hormone. Our findings suggested that environmental heavy metals had potential effects on reproductive parameters in HIV-infected men in China.
