EPO对早期糖尿病大鼠肾脏的保护作用

目的观察亚临床剂量EPO对糖尿病大鼠早期肾损伤的影响,并探讨其作用机制。方法将大鼠随机分为正常对照组(NC)、糖尿病组(DM)及糖尿病EPO干预的两个剂量亚组(DMTA和DMTB)。采用链脲佐菌素诱导1型糖尿病大鼠模型,腹腔注射EPO10周后,测定血糖、血压、血红蛋白、肾功能;光镜及电镜下观察肾组织形态学变化;免疫组化分析肾组织细胞凋亡相关蛋白Bcl-2/Bax及细胞因子VEGF的表达。结果实验剂量EPO干预后,大鼠肾功能及其形态学指标得到显著改善;Bcl-2/Bax比值及VEGF表达升高;均呈剂量依赖性。血糖、血压、血红蛋白值与对照组相比无明显变化。结论亚临床剂量EPO可延缓早期糖尿病肾病发展进程,可能与上调Bcl-2/Bax蛋白表达比值,抑制肾脏细胞凋亡有关;在本实验条件下,肾组织VEGF的表达上调未对糖尿病肾病造成不良影响。     

Cathepsin B antisense oligodeoxynucleotide suppresses invasive potential of MG-63 cells

Objective To study the biological effects of cathepsin B phosporotbioated antisense oligodeoxynucleotide on human osteosarcoma cell line MG-63 after transfection. Methods A 18-mer phosphorothioate antisense oligodeoxynucleotide (ASODN) targeted against the cathepsin B mRNA was transfected into the human osteosarcoma cell line MG-63 by lipofectamine 2000. The sense and nonsense oligodeoxynucleotides to cathepsin B and blank vector were used as controls. The expression of cathepsin B mRNA was examined by RT-PCR and the expression of cathepsin B was examined by Western blot. The invasive capability of MG-63 cells was evaluated by the boydern chamber assay. Results The expression of cathcpsin B was obviously inhibited in antlsense oligodeoxynucleotide treated cells compared with the control cells. The number of invading MG-63 cells was significantly lower in the ASODN-treated groups than that in the control groups. Conclusion The cathepsin B ASODN significantly inhibits the expression of cathepsin B and invasive ability of MG-63 cell in osteosarcoma.     

Mammalin cochlear supporting cells transdifferentiation into outer hair cells

Objective To study the recovery of the outer hair cells in the bat cochlea after gentamicin exposure.Methods Bats were injected with a daily dose of gentamicin for 15 consecutive days and bromodeoxyuridine (BrdU)was given from day 16 to day 40 of this recovery phase. Hearing was assessed by overt acoustic behavior and auditory brainstem responses analysis, which was performed one day prior to the first injection and a day after the last injection (day 16). On day 40 animals were sacrificed for detection of cells that could take up BrdU. Results After 15 days of gentamicin treatment, all of the animals were proved to be deafened with significant increases of ABR thresholds,compared with control group. The findings in immunocytochemical stained samples and scanning electron microscopy revealed that BrdU labeled nuclei were observed in the cochlea in all of the deafened animals most commonly in the regions of the first-row and second-row Deiter's cells (DCs) and occasionally in the regions of the third-ruw DCs.Conclusion We suggest that, under sufficient drug and enough time, the bat cochlear supporting cells can directly transdifferentiate into the outer hair cells after aminoglycoside exposure. This transdifferentation process is essential for repair of outer hair cells and recovery of normal function after gentamicin exposure.
