Study on vasoactive intestinal polypeptide receptor 1 gene translation in psoriatic epidermis with the topical treatment of capsaicin ointment

Objective To investigate the mechanism of capsaicin in treating active psoriasis vulgaris. Methods A total of 42 patients with active psoriasis vulgaris diagnosed by histology and clinical features were given either placebo or 0.025% capsaicin ointment four times daily for 30 days randomly by double-blind method. Vasoactive intestinal polypeptide receptor 1(VIPR1) gene translation in active psoriatic lesions before and after treatment with capsaicin ointment was detected by in situ hybridization. Results There was positive staining of VIPR1 gene in all the layers of psoriatic epidermis (95.5%) before the treatment with capsaicin ointment, but nearly no dyeing in epidermis (18.2%) after the treatment for 30 days. There was nearly no brown staining before and after treatment in control group. Conclusion VIPR1 gene translation in psoriatic epidermis is down-regulated after capsaicin treatment for 30 days.

银屑病皮损中TIG1 mRNA表达及其与异常分化的关系

目的检测银屑病中抑癌基因TIG1的表达变化以揭示其在寻常型银屑病发病机制中的作用。方法用原位杂交的方法检测正常组皮肤组织、银屑病组未受累皮肤组织和皮损中TIG1m RNA的表达。结果在正常组皮肤组织中,TIG1表达于表皮全层;在银屑病组未受累皮肤组织和银屑病边缘皮损中,可见TIG1表达于基底上层,在银屑病中间皮损中无表达。TIG1在银屑病边缘皮损和未受累组织基底层中的表达低于其在正常组皮肤基底层中的表达(P<0.01);TIG1在银屑病中间皮损基底上层中的表达低于其在未受累皮肤和正常组皮肤的表达(P<0.01)。结论TIG1可保持表皮正常分化功能,TIG1的降低可能与银屑病角质形成细胞的异常分化相关。

目的探讨c-Jun氨基末端激酶(JNK)信号通路在大鼠脑缺血再灌注过程中所发挥的作用。方法雄性SD大鼠108只,体重290-310 g,随机分成假手术组(SH组)、缺血再灌注组(IR组)和JNK抑制剂SP600125组(SP组),分别于缺血前30 min侧脑室注射10 mL/L二甲基亚砜(DMSO)1、0 mL/L DMSO及JNK抑制剂SP600125。每组再根据再灌注时间分为2、6、12、24、487、2 h 6个亚组,每亚组6只动物。采用4-VO法建立SD大鼠全脑缺血模型,在预定时间点行灌注、固定、取脑、石蜡包埋切片;免疫组化方法检测p-JNK的表达变化,光镜下计数海马CA1区存活细胞,TUNEL法检测CA1区凋亡细胞。结果脑缺血再灌注后海马CA1区p-JNK在IR组有明显表达,于再灌注2 h时即明显升高,6 h时略有降低,后逐渐上升,24 h到高峰,之后表达量减小。SP组p-JNK的表达则无明显增高,各时点与IR组比较均有显著性差异(P<0.01)。海马CA1区神经元存活数目SP组明显高于IR组(P<0.01),凋亡指数显著低于IR组(P<0.01)。结论在大鼠全脑缺血再灌注损伤过程中,JNK信号通路发挥了重要作用,抑制JNK通路的激活可对脑缺血再灌注损伤导致的细胞损伤起到保护作用。     

初级传入神经释放P物质与α_2肾上腺素能受体的关系

本研究用大鼠背侧脊髓温育切片,观察了α_2肾上腺素能受体的活性对辣椒素(CAP)诱发P物质(SP)释放的影响。当灌流液中加入CAP(3μmol/L)后,SP释放增加4倍。CAP诱发的SP总释放率为0.45±0.1%,当应用α_2肾上腺素能受体激动剂可乐宁(10μmol/L)时,SP总释放率下降到0.25±0.02%(n=11,P<0.05)。育亨宾(100μmol/L)可拮抗可乐宁的效应。该结果提示,初级传入神经细纤维的中枢端的SP释放,受α_2肾上腺素能受体活性的调制。

Effect of acitretin on the T helper cells of psoriasis vulgaris

Objective To investigate the effects of acitretin on T helper cell (Th) 1/Th2 balance and Th17 cells in psoriasis vulgaris (PV) patients. Methods A total of 13 men and 17 women with PV were investigated. 10 mg of acitretin was administered twice a day for 8 weeks for intervention therapy. Serum levels of interferon-gamma (IFN-γ), interleukin (IL)-4 and IL-17 were measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. T, Th1, Th2 and Th17 cells in skin biopsies were counted with double-labeled immunofluorescence. Psoriasis Area and Severity Index (PASI) score was calculated before and 8 weeks after treatment. Results Before treatment PV patients had higher serum levels of IFN-γ and IL-17, and increased T, Th1 and Th17 cells in skin biopsies. After treatment, both serum levels of IFN-γ and IL-17, and T, Th1 and Th17 cells infiltrating in PV skin decreased significantly. Th1/Th2 balance was restored to normal. However, their IL-4 and Th2 cells showed no significant change throughout the therapy. Conclusion Acitretin exerts influence on dermal Th1/Th2 balance and Th17 cell infiltration, so does it on production of systematic inflammatory cytokines IFN-γ and IL-17 in PV patients. However, Th2 cells and its derivative cytokine-IL-4 are not affected.     

Induction of apoptosis and inhibition of proliferation of C6 glioma cells in vitro by tamoxifen

Objective To investigate the anti-tumor effect and mechanism of tamoxifen on rat C6 glioma cells. Methods C6 cells were cultured in Dulbecco＇s modified Eagle＇s medium （DMEM） with 3% fetal calf serum （FCS）, and treated with tamoxifen of different concentrations, i.e. group A （1.25 μmol/L）, group B （2.50 μmol/L）, group C （5. 00 μmol/L）, group D （10. 00 μmol/L）, group E （20. 00 μmol/L） and control group （0. 00 μmol/L）. Morphological changes, MTT assay and 5-bromo-2＇-deoxyuriding labeling ratio were assessed. Apoptosis was observed by flow cytometry. Results C6 cells treated with different doses of tamoxifen for 24, 48, and 72 hours became irregular in shape, while cells treated with vehicle grew normally. MTT assay showed that tamoxifen did not suppress C6 cell growth until 72 hours after treatment. Seventy-two hours after treatment, there were significant differences in cell viable rate between group A versus groups C, D and E; so did group B versus group D as well as group E （P〈 0.05 ）. BrdU incorporation assay indicated significant difference of BrdU labbled index （BrdU LI） among groups A, C, E and control group 48 hoers after treatment （P〈0.05）. And the BrdU LI decreased with the increased concentration of tamoxifen. Flow cytometry （FCM） showed significant difference between treated group and control group at 24, 48, and 72 hours after treatment （P〈0.05）. Conclusion Tamoxifen significantly suppresses the growth of C6 glioma cells in a time- and dose-dependent manner. The mechanism of tamoxifen suppressing C6 glioma cells may be inhibiting proliferation and inducing apoptosis. Therefore, tamoxifen can be a candidate as a chemotherapy agent for glioma.     

Effects of pioglitazone on serum leptin and adiponectin in polycystic ovary syndrome patients with insulin resistance

Objective To investigate the effects of pioglitazone on serum leptin and adiponectin in polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) patients with insulin resistance (IR). Methods Thirty-five PCOS patients with IR were treated with pioglitazone 15mg/d for 12 weeks. The results of ovulation induction were observed. The changes of fasting plasma glucose (FPG), fasting serum insulin (FINS), serum levels of leptin, adiponectin, follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH), luteinizing hormone (LH), testosterone (T) and blood fat were examined at the baseline and after the therapy by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) and radioimmunoassay (RIA). Results After the treatment, the rate of ovulation per cycle was improved in 31 (88.5%) out of the 35 patients. After treatment, the level of serum leptin was decreased (P<0.05) while the level of serum adiponectin was increased (P<0.05). After 12 weeks'treatment, waist-to-hip ratio and F-G score were significantly decreased (P<0.05), BMI declined but without significant difference (P>0.05). The levels of LH, T, FINS, Homa-IR, total cholesterol, triglyceride and low density lipoprotein-cholesterol were significantly decreased (P<0.01, P<0.05), whereas the level of high density lipoprotein-cholesterol was significantly increased (P<0.01). No significant difference was seen in FSH and FPG following treatment (P>0.05). Conclusion Pioglitazone treatment can effectively improve PCOS with IR patients'clinical syndromes, insulin sensitivity, glucose and lipid metabolism at least partly through improving the profiles of leptin and adiponectin.     

替加色罗对结肠炎大鼠内脏敏感性的影响及其与结肠内P物质和降钙素基因相关肽表达的关系

目的评价替加色罗对结肠炎大鼠内脏敏感性的影响,并探讨其调节内脏敏感性的作用途径。方法成年雄性SD大鼠42只,经三硝基苯磺酸(TNBS)灌肠诱导结肠炎后随机分为4个实验组和4个对照组:其中3个结-直肠扩张(CRD)实验组(n=6)及3个CRD对照组(n=4)分别给大鼠替加色罗和生理盐水灌胃,在灌胃3、7、14 d后记录腹壁肌电活动;1个免疫组化(IH)实验组(n=6)及其对照组(n=6)分别在替加色罗和生理盐水灌胃7d后,采用免疫组织化学法观察大鼠结肠内P物质(SP)和降钙素基因相关肽(CGRP)的表达。结果替加色罗灌胃3 d后,在1.2、1.6mL扩张容量下,大鼠腹肌收缩次数(6.00±1.10,3.17±0.98)较对照组明显减少(9.50±2.52,13.0±2.31,P<0.05)。替加色罗连续灌胃7 d和14 d后,在0.4、0.8、1.2、1.6 mL扩张容量下,大鼠腹肌收缩次数均明显少于对照组(P<0.01)。替加色罗灌胃7 d后,结肠内SP染色评分下降,而CGRP染色强度与对照组比较无明显变化。结论替加色罗可以明显降低结肠炎大鼠对结肠球囊扩张刺激的敏感性,其降低内脏敏感性的作用可能与其抑制胃肠道内脏感觉传入神经表达SP有关。
