Overexpression of neuronal ARNT2 is involved in neuronal apoptosis evoked by low K+

AIM: To observe the expression of neuronal Aryl hydrocarbon receptor nuclear translocator 2 (ARNT2) involved in neuronal apoptosis evoked by low K+ and to investigate the relationship between ARNT2 and neuronal apoptosis. METHODS: After neuron apoptosis model was established, the changes of mRNA and protein of ARNT2 during apoptosis were investigated by RT-PCR and Western blotting, respectively. Immunofluorescence was analyzed by confocal microscopy to probe the subcellular localization of ARNT2. RESULTS: Induced by low K+, the expression of ARNT2 mRNA was up-regulated obviously at the point of 30 min, and peaks at the point of 1 h. This up-regulated expression lasted for 12 h, and the variation of ARNT2 protein was similar to that of mRNA. The results of immunofluorescence analyzed by confocal microscopy showed that the localization of ARNT2 protein was in the nucleus. CONCLUSION: ARNT2 locate in nuclei of normal cerebellar granule neurons of rat. During the process of apoptosis evoked by low K+, both mRNA and protein of ARNT2 are overexpressed.     

Effects of vasoconstrictor and endothelium-dependent relaxationagent on thoracic aortic rings of diabetes mice

AIM: To discuss the effects of vasoconstrictor and endothelium-dependent relaxation agent on the thoracic aortic rings in different stages of diabetes mellitus. METHODS: Streptozotocin (STZ, 40 mg/kg) was injected intraperitoneally to establish diabetic model in C57BL/6J mice. At the 17th, 22nd, 28th week, diabetic and age-matched control mice were sacrificed respectively and the effects of vasoconstrictors: phenylephrine (PE), 60 mmol/L KCl and endothelium-dependent relaxation agent respectively (ACh) were measured in two groups using thoracic aortic rings. RESULTS: The level of fasting plasma glucose concentration 2 weeks after STZ treatment increased higher (≥11.1 mol/L) in STZ-induced diabetic mice than that in age-matched controls, and maintained at this level in entire experiment course. On the contrary, the weight was decreased significantly. The responses of thoracic aortic rings in STZ-induced diabetic mice to PE were increased, unaltered and increased at the 17th, 22nd, 28th weeks, respectively compared to that in age-matched controls. The responses to 60 mmol/L KCl were also increased in all stages. While the responses to ACh were increased, unaltered and decreased at the 17th, 22nd, 28th weeks, respectively compared to that in age-matched controls. CONCLUSION: The responses of thoracic aortic rings to vasoconstrictor enhance in STZ-induced diabetic mice. However, the endothelial functions potentiate initially due to compensation, and then lower exhibiting endothelial damage.     

Macaca irus bone mesenchymal stem cells differentiate into neuron-like cells induced by cryptotanshinone in vitro

AIM: To determine the optimal protocol and condition in which macaca irus mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are induced to differentiate into neuron-like cells by cryptotanshinone in vitro. METHODS: MSCs from macaca irus bone marrow were generated in vitro and induced with cryptotanshinone. The morphological changes of MSCs were evaluated by microscope. The positive percentages of neurofilament (NF), neuron specific enolase (NSE) and glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP) expression were measured by immunocytochemistry with ABC staining. RESULTS: The result showed that MSCs were positive for CD29, CD44, CD105, CD166, and negative for CD34, CD71, CD80 and CD86. After induced with cryptotanshinone, MSCs began to display neuronal morphologies, such as contracted multipolar cell body and formed extensive networks. The percentages of positive NSE, NF expression were 68.3%±3.5%, 70.3%±1.5%， respectively. CONCLUSION: Macaca irus MSCs could be induced to differentiate into neuron-like cells in vitro by cryptotanshinone and might be applied in cell transplantation and gene therapy in nervous system disorders.     

Deoxyribozyme inhibits the proliferation of human umbilical artery smooth muscle cells

AIM: To observe the inhibition effects of 10-23 deoxyribozyme (DNAzyme) specific to human proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA) gene on the proliferation of human umbilical artery smooth muscle cells (HUASMC) in vitro. METHODS: Using lipofectamine (Lip)-mediated method, the DNAzyme specific to PCNA was introduced into HUASMC. ［3H］-TdR incorporation was determined. The cell proliferation was examined by MTT assay and cell cycle was detected by flow cytometry. RESULTS: ［3H］-TdR incorporation in 1.0 μmol/L DNAzyme group was lower than that in control group (P<0.05) at 2 days after transfection. Compared with control group, the A value of MTT cholorimetric analysis decreased in 1.0 μmol/L DNAzyme group and antisense oligodeoxynucleotide (ASODN) group, at 2, 3 and 5 days after transfection significantly (P<0.01). The decrease in A value showed a dose-dependent manner within the experimental range at 5 days. After 2 days, the percentage of quiescence cells (G0/G1) was 73.8%, 54.7% and 41.1% in DNAzyme, ASODN and control groups, respectively. CONCLUSION: The DNAzyme specific to PCNA suppresses the proliferation of HUASMC effectively in vitro.     

Effects of beta2-adrenergic blocker on cytosolic Ca2+ in isolated cardiomyocytes of rats with myocardial infarction

AIM: To investigate if beta2-adrenergic receptors result in more Ca2+ load after myocardial infarction (MI), the effects of beta2-adrenergic blocker on cytosolic Ca2+ (［Ca2+］i) were studied. METHODS: Male Wistar rats underwent a ligation of left coronary artery (n=9) or a sham operation (n=3). Cardiomyocytes were dissociated at 2, 4 and 8 weeks after MI and ［Ca2+］i was measured via fura-2 fluorescence. The response of cardiomyocytes to isoproterenol (1 μmol/L) in the presence or absence of atenolol (1 μmol/L), beta2-adrenergic blocker ICI118,551 (0.1 μmol/L) or propranolol (1 μmol/L) was examined. RESULTS: ICI118,551 suppressed the increase in ［Ca2+］i induced by isoproterenol at 4 and 8 weeks after MI (24.5%±5.7% vs 57.8%±13.2%, P<0.01; 12.2%±7.9% vs 44.6%±11.3%, P<0.01), but had no effects in control and 2 weeks post-MI groups. It decreased ［Ca2+］i in control and the three post-MI groups by 14.3%, 7.9%, 57.6% and 72.6%, respectively. Atenolol had suppressive effects only in control and 2 weeks post-MI groups (P<0.05). Propranolol had suppressive effects in control and all three post-MI groups (P<0.01). CONCLUSION: Beta 2-adrenergic blocker ICI118,551 exerts negative effects on ［Ca2+］i after MI, and the effects dramatically increase with the progression of MI.
