Attenuation of CCl4-Induced Hepatic Fibrosis in Mice by Vaccinating against TGF-β1

Transforming growth factor β1 (TGF-β1) is the pivotal pro-fibrogenic cytokine in hepatic fibrosis. Reducing the over-produced expression of TGF-β1 or blocking its signaling pathways is considered to be a promising therapeutic strategy for hepatic fibrosis. In this study, we evaluated the feasibility of attenuating hepatic fibrosis by vaccination against TGF-β1 with TGF-β1 kinoids. Two TGF-β1 kinoid vaccines were prepared by cross-linking TGF-β1-derived polypeptides (TGF-β1²⁵–[41-65] and TGF-β1³⁰–[83-112]) to keyhole limpet hemocyanin (KLH). Immunization with the two TGF-β1 kinoids efficiently elicited the production of high-levels of TGF-β1-specific antibodies against in BALB/c mice as tested by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) and Western blotting. The antisera neutralized TGF-β1-induced growth-inhibition on mink lung epithelial cells (Mv1Lu) and attenuated TGF-β1-induced Smad2/3 phosphorylation, α-SMA, collagen type 1 alpha 2 (COL1A2), plasminogen activator inhibitor-1 (PAI-1) and tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinase-1 (TIMP-1) expression in the rat hepatic stellate cell (HSC) line, HSC-T6. Vaccination against TGF-β1 with the kinoids significantly suppressed CCl₄-induced collagen deposition and the expression of α-SMA and desmin, attenuated hepatocyte apoptosis and accelerated hepatocyte proliferation in BALB/c mice. These results demonstrated that immunization with the TGF-β1 kinoids efficiently attenuated CCl₄-induced hepatic fibrosis and liver injury. Our study suggests that vaccination against TGF-β1 might be developed into a feasible therapeutic approach for the treatment of chronic fibrotic liver diseases.

Peak tree: a new tool for multiscale hierarchical representation and peak detection of mass spectrometry data

Peak detection is one of the most important steps in mass spectrometry (MS) analysis. However, the detection result is greatly affected by severe spectrum variations. Unfortunately, most current peak detection methods are neither flexible enough to revise false detection results nor robust enough to resist spectrum variations. To improve flexibility, we introduce peak tree to represent the peak information in MS spectra. Each tree node is a peak judgment on a range of scales, and each tree decomposition, as a set of nodes, is a candidate peak detection result. To improve robustness, we combine peak detection and common peak alignment into a closed-loop framework, which finds the optimal decomposition via both peak intensity and common peak information. The common peak information is derived and loopily refined from the density clustering of the latest peak detection result. Finally, we present an improved ant colony optimization biomarker selection method to build a whole MS analysis system. Experiment shows that our peak detection method can better resist spectrum variations and provide higher sensitivity and lower false detection rates than conventional methods. The benefits from our peak-tree-based system for MS disease analysis are also proved on real SELDI data.

Habitat utilization of the Glanville fritillary butterfly in the Tianshan Mountains, China, and its implication for conservation

In 2004 and 2005, we investigated the distribution of the Glanville fritillary butterfly (Melitaea cinxia) and its host plant in the Tianshan Mountains of China, in order to clarify its habitat utilization. Female butterflies were almost captured on dry meadows on slopes, where plenty of host plant (Veronica spicata) is distributed. Although there are host plants on meadows at higher altitude (>2,050 m), no butterfly was found there. Among the meadows with host plants, a patch of dry meadow (newly-found meadow) was considered as a natal site because of the high density and freshness of butterflies. Unlike females, male butterflies were almost captured in valleys, where there are no host plants and fewer nectar plants. It might be related to specific mating system of M. cinxia in the study site, or specific environmental factors. Thus valleys are important habitat for males. Although the status of M. cinxia is yet unknown in China, we give some suggestions for conservation based on this study. First, dry meadows with host plants are the essential component for persistence of M. cinxia, among which the specific sites with more favourable conditions, such as natal site, are most important. Second, as a site with adult resource requirement, valleys should be included as part of the habitat of the butterfly. Finally, meadows at higher altitude are not utilized at present but they are potential habitats which need to be maintained for any shifts in altitudinal range in response to global warming in the future. Hence, the trade-off of present cost and future benefit should be taken into account when formulating a conservation strategy for M. cinxia in the Tianshan Mountains of China.
