葛根素对糖尿病心肌细胞的保护及其机制研究

观察葛根素（Puerarin）对链脲佐菌素（streptozotocin,STZ）诱导的糖尿病大鼠心肌细胞的保护作用,并探讨血小板反应素1（Thrombospondin-1,TSP-1）的表达改变及其作用。雄性SD大鼠45只随机分为三组（n=15）：糖尿病组和葛根素治疗组采用一次腹腔注射链脲佐菌素（STZ）65mg／kg制备糖尿病模型,其中葛根素治疗组于造模后葛根素腹腔注射4周（100mg/kg/day）,正常对照组仅腹腔注射等量生理盐水（6ml／kg）,同样喂养4周。四周后各组大鼠处死。H—E染色及透射电子显微镜观察三组大鼠心肌细胞纤维显微结构和超微结构的病理改变．免疫组化和实时荧光定量PCR法观察大鼠心肌细胞中TSP-1蛋白和mRNA表达的变化．同时利用Langendorff离体心脏灌流法测定各组大鼠心室肌细胞功能。结果发现葛根素治疗组较糖尿病组大鼠的体重增加明显,同时血糖下降,有显著性差异（P〈0．01）。H—E染色显示糖尿病大鼠多处心肌肌丝紊乱伴少量炎症细胞浸润,电镜下发现有线粒体嵴消失溶解,肌丝排列紊乱等病理改变,而葛根素治疗组大鼠偶见上述病理变化。免疫组化显示葛根素治疗组心肌内TSP-1阳性细胞密度小于糖尿病大鼠,TSP-1 mRNA表达也比糖尿病大鼠要低。此外葛根素治疗组大鼠的左室收缩末压（LVSEP）、左心室舒张末期压（LVEDP）等心功能指标均明显低于正常组（P〈0．01）,但较糖尿病组有显著改善（P〈0．01）。上述结果显示葛根素能保护糖尿病大鼠心肌细胞的高糖损伤和维持心室肌细胞的功能,而该机制可能与抑制心肌细胞TSP-1表达的水平有关。     

The effects of microRNAs in activating neovascularization pathways in diabetic retinopathy

Diabetic retinopathy (DR) is one of the major complications of diabetes mellitus that causes diabetic macular edema and visual loss. DR is categorized, based on the presence of vascular lesions and neovascularization, into non-proliferative and proliferative DR. Vascular changes in DR correlate with the cellular damage and pathological changes in the capillaries of blood-retinal barrier. Several cytokines have been involved in inducing neovascularization. These cytokines activate different signaling pathways which are mainly responsible for the complications of DR. Recently; microRNAs (miRNAs) have been introduced as the key factors in the regulation of the cytokine expression which plays a critical role in neovascularization of retinal cells. Some studies have demonstrated that changing levels of miRNAs have essential role in the pathophysiology of vascular changes in patients with DR. The aim of this study is to identify the effects of miRNAs in the pathogenesis of DR via activating neovascularization pathways.     

Beta‐lapachone inhibits pathological retinal neovascularization in oxygen‐induced retinopathy via regulation of HIF‐1α

Retinal neovascularization in retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) is the most common cause of blindness for children. Despite evidence that hypoxia inducible factor (HIF)‐1α ‐VEGF axis is associated with the pathogenesis of ROP, the inhibitors of HIF‐1α have not been established as a therapeutic target in the control of ROP pathophysiology. We investigated the hypothesis that degradation of HIF‐1α as a master regulator of angiogenesis in hypoxic condition, using β‐lapachone, would confer protection against hypoxia‐induced retinopathy without affecting physiological vascular development in mice with oxygen‐induced retinopathy (OIR), an animal model of ROP. The effects of β‐lapachone were examined after intraocular injection in mice with OIR. Intraocular administration of β‐lapachone resulted in significant reduction in hypoxia‐induced retinal neovascularization without retinal toxicity or perturbation of developmental retinal angiogenesis. Our results demonstrate that HIF‐1α–mediated VEGF expression in OIR is associated with pathological neovascularization, not physiological angiogenesis. Thus, strategies blocking HIF‐1α in the developing eye in the pathological hypoxia could serve as a novel therapeutic target for ROP.     

CXCR4基因转染人脐带间充质干细胞移植治疗糖尿病肾病的实验研究

摘要 目的：探讨过表达CXCR4的人脐带间充质干细胞（human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cell, hUC-MSCs）移植后对糖尿病肾病的治疗作用。方法：构建CXCR4的慢病毒表达载体，并建立过表达 CXCR4 的人脐带间充质干细胞（CXCR4-MSCs）。采用8周龄健康雌性SD大鼠75只，其中15只为正常对照组，60只为实验组。实验组糖尿病成模后一个月，将糖尿病实验大鼠60只随机分为4组：①移植CXCR4-MSCs组(CXCR4基因转染MSCs组)，即CXCR4组；②移植null-MSCs组(空质粒未转染CXCR4基因的MSCs组)，即null-MSCs；③移植MSCs组( MSCs组)；④PBS组(未移植任何的MSCs，单纯PBS注射，PBS组)。将CXCR4-MSCs、null-MSCs及MSCs消化离心，取含1×106个细胞悬液经尾静脉分别注入CXCR4-MSCs组、null-MSCs组及MSCs组大鼠体内，PBS组注射l mL PBS。干细胞治疗8周后，处死五组大鼠。各组大鼠处死前放代谢笼留取24 h尿，计算尿量，保存送检。处死前尾静脉采血检测血糖、称体重并记录。观察血糖、肾脏肥大指数、肾重、体重、24小时尿蛋白排泄量，并观察肾脏组织病理学改变。结果：60只SD雌性大鼠糖尿病模型成功率达100％，至实验8周糖尿病大鼠总共死亡14只，存活率达76.67％。实验开始后的8周，所有CXCR4组、Null-MSCs组、MSCs组、PBS组大鼠与正常组比较，体重均明显减轻(P<0.01)，血糖明显升高(P<0.01)。MSCs治疗后8周，除正常组外，其余各组大鼠血糖、肾重、肾重/体重比、24小时尿蛋白均显著增高，体重显著降低(P<0.05)；与PBS组相比，CXCR4组、null-MSCs组，MSCs组大鼠的肾重、肾重/体重比、24小时尿蛋白均明显降低(P<0.05)，体重无明显增加，血糖无明显降低(P>0.05)。CXCR4组大鼠的肾重、肾重/体重比、24小时尿蛋白较除正常组外的各组均明显降低(P<0.05)。糖尿病成模后，给予大鼠尾静脉注射干细胞悬液或等量培养液，注射后8周，除正常组外，其余各组PAS染色可见大鼠肾小球肥大，肾小球基底膜增厚、系膜增生、系膜基质增多，部分肾小球出现明显硬化，符合糖尿病肾病中期病理表现。CXCR4组大鼠肾小球系膜基质增生较其余各组大鼠减少(P<0.05)。结论：转染CXCR4的MSCs可改善糖尿病肾病。

Systemic administration of high-molecular weight hyaluronan stimulates wound healing in genetically diabetic mice

Hyaluronic acid (HA), an essential component of the extracellular matrix, is an efficient space filler that maintains hydration, serves as a substrate for assembly of proteoglycans and is involved in wound healing. Although numerous pieces of evidence demonstrate beneficial effects in promoting wound healing in diabetes, a systemic approach has never been tested. We used an incisional wound healing model in genetically diabetic mice to test the effects of systemic injection of HA. Diabetic (n = 56) and normoglycemic (n = 56) mice were subjected to incision and randomized (8 groups of 7 animals each) to receive HA at different doses, 7.5, 15 and 30 mg/kg/i.p., or vehicle (0.9% NaCl solution) for 12 days. At the end of the experiment animals were sacrificed and skin wounds were excised for histological, biochemical and molecular analysis. Histology revealed that the most effective dose to improve wound repair and angiogenesis in diabetic mice was 30 mg/kg. Furthermore HA injection (30 mg/kg) improved the altered healing pattern in diabetic animals, increased skin remodeling proteins TGF-β and transglutaminase-II and restored the altered expression of cyclin B1/Cdc2 complex. Evaluation of skin from diabetic animals injected with HA revealed also an increase in HA content, suggesting that systemic injection may be able to restore the reduced intracellular HA pool of diabetic mice. Finally HA markedly improved skin mechanical properties. These promising results, if confirmed in a clinical setting, may improve the care and management of diabetic patients.     

Impairment of Protein Synthesis in the Retinal Tissue in Diabetic Rabbits: Secondary Reduction of Fast Axonal Transport

Protein biosynthesis in the retina and fast axonal transport along the optic pathway were studied in rabbits in which diabetes had been experimentally induced. Retinal protein biosynthesis and axonal transport were significantly reduced in the diabetic rabbits, and the reduction was correlated to the severity of the diabetes. The "somal delay time' was only slightly elongated and the O/R ratio was fairly constant in the various levels of blood glucose; thus intrasomal protein movement seems to be less affected in diabetic rabbits. Velocity and the distribution pattern of axonally transported protein remained unaffected in the diabetic rabbits. These findings suggest that a disturbance in the metabolism in the cell body is the most important factor related to quantitative reduction of fast axonal transport in diabetic rabbits.
