Effect of 1α, 25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 on T helper cell 17 and expression of related cytokines in penetrating keratoplasty in mice

AIM: To evaluate the effects of 1α, 25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 on T helper cell 17 (Th17 cells) and its related cytokines in a mouse model of corneal allograft transplantation. METHODS: C57BL/6 mice were transplanted with corneal grafts from BALB/c mice and treated intraperitoneally with 1.0 μg 1α, 25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 or soybean oil every other day after operation. The transparency of the corneal grafts was evaluated for potential rejection signs by slit lamp biomicroscopy and histopathology. The expression levels of IL-17, RORγt and IFN-γ in the spleen were measured by real-time PCR. Moreover, the protein expression of RORγt and IL-17 in the peripheral blood was analyzed by Western blotting. IL-17 and IFN-γ in peripheral blood were measured by flow cytometry. RESULTS: 1α, 25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 significantly inhibited the rejection of the corneal allograft and reduced the numbers of inflammatory infiltrates in the corneal graft. In the spleen, 1α, 25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 treatment reduced the expression levels of IL-17, RORγt and IFN-γ. In the peripheral blood, 1α, 25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 treatment downregulated the expression levels of RORγt, IL-17 and IFN-γ. CONCLUSION: The effects of 1α, 25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 on suppressing corneal transplantation-induced allograft rejection in mice are closely associated with its modulation on IL-17 and related cytokine RORγt.

Effect of miR-25 on apoptosis of H9c2 cells induced by hypoxia/reoxygenation

AIM:To investigate the role and mechanism of microRNA-25 (miR-25) in apoptosis of H9c2 cells induced by hypoxia/reoxygenation. METHODS:The H9c2 cells with over-expression of miR-25 were treated with hypo-xia/reoxygenation. Real-time PCR was used to detect the expression of miR-25 and high mobility group box-1 (HMGB1) mRNA. Western blot was performed to examine the protein expression levels of HMGB1, Bcl-2 and cleaved caspase-3. Flow cytometry was used to analyze the proportion of apoptotic cells and the cell cycle. Dual-luciferase reporter assay was used to confirm that HMGB1 was the target gene of miR-25 in the H9c2 cells. Moreover, the H9c2 cells transfected with HMGB1-shRNA were subjected to hypoxia/reoxygenation to verify whether HMGB1 participated in the regulation of apoptosis of H9c2 cells. RESULTS:Over-expression of miR-25 significantly reduced the protein expression levels of HMGB1 and cleaved caspase-3, and increased the expression of Bcl-2 and the entrance into S phase in H9c2 cells induced by hypoxia/reoxygenation (P<0.01). The result of dual-luciferase reporter assay showed that compared with the control group, transfection with HMGB1-3' UTR-psi-CHECK2+miR-25 mimic strongly inhibited the luciferase activity (P<0.05). After the H9c2 cells transfected with HMGB1-shRNA was treated with hypoxia/reoxygenation, the expression of Bcl-2 was up-regulated, the expression of cleaved caspase-3 was down-regulated, and the cells in S phase were increased (P<0.05). CONCLUSION:miR-25 reduces apoptosis of H9c2 cells induced by hypoxia/reoxygenation, and its mechanism may be related with the inhibition of HMGB1 expression via interacting with its 3'-UTR.     

小鼠卵母细胞体外成熟过程中wee 1和cdc 25基因的表达

The Effects of Omega-3 Fatty Acid on Vitamin D Activation in Hemodialysis Patients: A Pilot Study

The high incidence of cardiovascular disease and vitamin D deficiency in chronic kidney disease patients is well known. Vitamin D activation by omega-3 fatty acid (FA) supplementation may explain the cardioprotective effects exerted by omega-3 FA. We hypothesized that omega-3 FA and 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25(OH)D) supplementation may increase 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D (1,25(OH)₂D) levels compared to 25(OH)D supplementation alone in hemodialysis (HD) patients that have insufficient or deficient 25(OH)D levels. We enrolled patients that were treated for at least six months with 25(OH)D < 30 ng/mL ({"type":"clinical-trial","attrs":{"text":"NCT01596842","term_id":"NCT01596842"}}NCT01596842). Patients were randomized to treatment for 12 weeks with cholecalciferol supplemented with omega-3 FA or a placebo. Levels of 25(OH)D and 1,25(OH)₂D were measured after 12 weeks. The erythrocyte membrane FA contents were also measured. Levels of 25(OH)D were increased in both groups at 12 weeks compared to baseline. The 1,25(OH)₂D levels at 12 weeks compared to baseline showed a tendency to increase in the omega-3 FA group. The oleic acid and monounsaturated FA content decreased, while the omega-3 index increased in the omega-3 FA group. Omega-3 FA supplementation may be partly associated with vitamin D activation, although increased 25(OH)D levels caused by short-term cholecalciferol supplementation were not associated with vitamin D activation in HD patients.

为探讨25-羟胆钙化醇(25-OH-D3)和耐热性植酸酶联合使用降低北京鸭日粮有效磷水平的效果,选用10日龄雄性北京鸭480只,随机分为6个处理.试验前期(10～20 d)和后期(21～35 d)对照组日粮中有效磷质量分数分别为0.45%和0.38%(以下同).负对照组1、负对照组2、试验组1、试验组2和试验组3有效磷水平在对照组日粮基础上分别减少0.05%、0.10%、0.10%、0.15%和0.20%.结果表明:1)试验前期日粮有效磷含量为、0.35%时,其20 d胫骨灰分率和胫骨强度都显著低于有效磷负对照组1(P<0.05),而有效磷水平为0.45%和0.40%之间对生产性能、骨骼发育指标等都没有显著差异.2)与0.40%的有效磷相比,随试验组日粮中有效磷水平的下降,试验前期粪磷(P)含量显著下降;同时当试验组日粮有效磷为0.25%时,导致试验前期日增重、20 d胫骨灰分率及骨强度显著或极显著低于负对照组1.3)试验后期各处理组之间北京鸭生产性能和骨骼发育指标均没有显著差异.综合本试验结果得出:北京鸭日粮中同时添加70μg/kg 25-OH-D3与1500 U/kg耐热性植酸酶可以替代有效磷0.10%～0.15%,节约日粮有效磷摄入量21.80%～38.23%,粪磷排放降低44.64%～50.00%.     

Regulatory effects of Rock2 on cell cycle checkpoint Cdc25A

AIM: To investigate the regulatory effects of Rho-associated coiled-coil-containing protein kinase 2(Rock2) on the cell cycle checkpoint cell division cycle 25A(Cdc25A). METHODS: The protein expression levels of Rock2 and Cdc25A in 51 pairs of hepatocellular carcinoma and the adjacent tissues were detected by Western blotting. shRock2 plasmids were constructed, selected and stably transfected into hepatocellular carcinoma Huh-7 and HepG2 cells. The protein expression of Cdc25A in the cells was determined by Western blotting. Based on the Rock2 interfering sequences, we designed the primers and changed the 4 indicated bases via site-specific mutagenesis. The Rock2-mutant plasmid was verified by sequencing and was transfected into stable Rock2-knockdown cells. The protein expression of Cdc25A was detected by Western blotting, and the cell proliferation was measured by MTT assay. The protein levels of checkpoint kinase(Chk)1/Chk2 were also detected in stable Rock2-knockdown cells. The interaction between Rock2 and Cdc25A was measured by co-immunoprecipitation, and the co-localization of Rock2 and Cdc25A was detected by confocal laser scanning microscopy. RESULTS: Rock2 and Cdc25A were apparently up-regulated in hepatocellular carcinoma,with a significantly positive correlation. The protein expression of Cdc25A was significantly down-regulated in stable Rock2-knockdown cells. The expression of Chk1 and Chk2 was not changed following knockdown of Rock2. The co-immunoprecipitation results verified that Rock2 bound to Cdc25A. The results of confocal laser scanning microscopy showed that Rock2 and Cdc25A were co-localized in hepatocellular carcinoma cells. CONCLUSION: Rock2 positively regulates the cell cycle checkpoint Cdc25A, which is independent of Chk1/Chk2 and this may provide a new target gene for treatment of hepatocellular carcinoma.
