AIM: To investigate the effects of sodium valproate (VPA) on the proliferation of multiple myeloma cell lines RPMI8226 and U266 and the regulation of IL-6/JAK/STAT signaling pathway. METHODS: The cells were treated with different concentrations of VPA for 12 h and 24 h. The growth of RPMI8226 cells and U266 cells was detected by MTT assay. Apoptotic rates and cell cycle were analyzed by flow cytometry. The mRNA expression of STAT3, STAT5 and STAT target genes Bcl-xL, Mcl-1, c-Myc, CCND1 and VEGF was measured by RT-PCR. Western blotting analysis was used to determine the total proteins and protein phosphorylation levels of JAK2 and STAT5. RESULTS: VPA inhibited the growth and induced the apoptosis of RPMI8226 cells and U266 cells in a concentration- and time-dependent manner. The levels of IL-6 in the culture supernatants of RPMI8226 cells and U266 cells treated with VPA were significantly higher than that in negative control group. VPA down-regulated the mRNA expression of STAT3, STAT5, Bcl-xL, Mcl-1, c-Myc, CCND1 and VEGF. After treated with VPA, the protein levels of p-JAK2, JAK2, p-STAT5 and STAT5 in RPMI8226 cells and U266 cells were significantly lower than those in control group. CONCLUSION: VPA inhibits the proliferation of PRMI8226 cells and U266 cells in vitro. The modulation of IL-6/JAK/STAT signaling pathway may be involved in its potential mechanisms. 相似文献

AIM: To investigate the role of PI3K/Akt and JAK2/STAT3 pathways in the protection of sulfur dioxide (SO2) against limb ischemia/reperfusion (I/R)-induced acute lung injury (ALI) in rats. METHODS: ALI was induced by limb I/R in the SD rats. Na2SO3(0.54 mmol/kg, ip)/NaHSO3 (0.18 mmol/kg, ip) as SO2 donor was injected at 20 min before reperfusion. The inhibitors of JAK2/STAT3 and PI3K/Akt pathways, Stattic (3 mg/kg, iv) and LY294002(40 mg/kg, iv), respectively, were injected at 1 h before reperfusion. Peripheral blood and lung tissues were collected for determining the contents of the cytokines, the protein levels of the molecules related to the signaling pathways, apoptosis and histopathologic changes by ELISA, TUNEL and Western blot. RESULTS: Compared with control group, the content of MDA, the activity of MPO, lung coefficient, apoptotic index, cytokine expression, and the protein levels of p-Akt and p-STAT3 in I/R group all increased significantly, and administration of Na2SO3/NaHSO3 attenuated the damage in the lung. Besides, the results of Western blot showed that the rat lung tissues expressed p-STAT3 protein and p-Akt protein. After I/R, the protein levels of p-STAT3 and p-Akt were increased. After using Na2SO3/NaHSO3, p-Akt was increased, but p-STAT3 was decreased (P<0.05). CONCLUSION: Both JAK2/STAT3 and PI3K/Akt pathways are likely involved in the protective effect of SO2 against limb I/R-induced ALI in rats. The activation of JAK2/STAT3 signaling pathway increases I/R injury. Reversely, the activation of PI3K/Akt signaling pathway reduces I/R injury. Besides, JAK2/STAT3 and PI3K/Akt signaling pathways may have crosstalk during I/R-induced ALI and JAK2/STAT3 pathway may have an impact on the P13K/Akt pathway. 相似文献

AIM:To investigate the regulatory effects and underlying molecule-mechanism of clonidine on learning and memory in rats with chronic cerebral ischemia. METHODS:Sprague-Dawley rats (n=45) were randomly divided into sham-operation group, cerebral ischemia model group and clonidine group, 15 rats in each group. The chronic cerebral ischemia rat model was established by right middle cerebral artery occlusion for 2 h and reperfusion for 30 d. Clonidine was administrated by i.g. for 7 days in clonidine group. The ability of spatial reference memory of the rats with cerebral ischemia was tested by Morris water maze. The protein levels of extracellular signal-regulated kinase 1/2 (ERK1/2), phosphorylated ERK1/2 (p-ERK1/2), cAMP-response element binding protein (CREB) and phosphorylated CREB (p-CREB) were determined by immunohistochemistry and Western blot. RESULTS:The results of Morris water maze test showed that compared with the sham-operation group, the ability of spatial reference memory was obviously impaired in the cerebral ischemia model group. Compared with the cerebral ischemia model group, the ability of spatial reference memory in the clonidine group were improved. Compared with the sham-operation group, the protein levels of p-ERK1/2 and p-CREB in hippocampus were increased in model group (P<0.01). Compared with the cerebral ischemia model group, the protein levels of p-ERK1/2 and p-CREB in hippocampus were decreased in the clonidine group (P<0.01). CONCLUSION:Clonidine improves the learning and memory abilities of the rats with cerebral ischemia, and ERK1/2 and CREB are involved in this process. 相似文献

AIM: To investigate the effect of homeodomain-interacting protein kinase 2 (HIPK2) on the viabi-lity, apoptosis and JAK2/STAT3 signaling pathway in NRK-52E renal tubular epithelial cells induced by hypoxia and reoxygenation (H/R). METHODS: HIPK2 small interfering RNA (siRNA) was transfected into NRK-52E cells by LipofectamineTM 2000, and normal control group (control group) and negative control group (HIPK2-NC group) were set up. After H/R, the cell viability was measured by CCK-8 assay, the apoptotic rate and Ca2+ fluorescence intensity were analyzed by flow cytometry, and the protein levels of Ki67, cleaved caspase-3, caspase-12, Bcl-2, Bax, p-JAK2 and p-STAT3 were determined by Western blot. RESULTS: Compared with control group, the protein expression of HIPK2 in the NRK-52E cells was significantly decreased after transfection with HIPK2 siRNA (P<0.05). Compared with control group, the cell viability and the protein expression of Ki67 and Bcl-2 in H/R group were also significantly decreased, and the apoptotic rate, the Ca2+ fluorescence intensity and the protein levels of cleaved caspase-3, caspase-12, Bax, p-JAK2 and p-STAT3 were significantly increased (P<0.05). Compared with H/R group, the cell viability and the protein expression of Ki67 and Bcl-2 in HIPK2-siRNA+H/R group were significantly increased, while the apoptotic rate, the Ca2+ fluorescence intensity and the protein levels of cleaved caspase-3, caspase-12, Bax, p-JAK2 and p-STAT3 were significantly decreased (P<0.05). CONCLUSION: Inhibition of HIPK2 gene expression promotes H/R-induced growth of NRK-52E renal tubular epithelial cells, and reduces the apoptosis. The mechanism is related to down-regulating the JAK2/STAT3 signaling pathway. 相似文献

AIM: To investigate the effect of microRNA-24-3p (miR-24-3p) on the viability and apoptosis of esophageal cancer cells. METHODS: The expression of miR-24-3p and KLF6 mRNA in the esophageal cancer cells TE11, Eca109 and EC9706 were detected by RT-qPCR. The protein expression of KLF6 was determined by Western blot. EC9706 cells were transfected with anti-miR-24-3p and KLF6 siRNA. The cell viability was measured by MTT assay, the apoptotic rate was analyzed by flow cytometry, and the proliferation, apoptosis and IL-6/STAT3 signaling pathways related proteins were determined by Western blot. The level of IL-6 was measured by ELISA. The dual luciferase reporter gene assay was used to verify the relationship between miR-24-3p and KLF6. RESULTS: The levels of miR-24-3p were up-regulated in the esophageal cancer cells TE11, Eca109 and EC9706 (P < 0.05), and the expression of KLF6 at mRNA and protein levels was down-regulated (P < 0.05). Knock-down of miR-24-3p expression inhibited the cell viability, induced apoptosis, and inhibited the protein levels of CDK4, cyclin D1, CDC25A, p-STAT3, Bcl-2 and IL-6, and promoted the protein expression of caspase-3 and Bax in EC9706 cells. CONCLUSION: miR-24-3p targets KLF6 gene to affect the viability and apoptosis of esophageal cancer cells by regulating IL-6/STAT3 signaling pathway. 相似文献

AIM: To investigate the correlation of hepatitis B virus X protein (HBx) with renal tubular epithelial cell apoptosis in hepatitis B virus-associated glomerulonephritis (HBVGN) and the possible signaling mechanism.
METHODS: The activation of JAK2/STAT3 signal pathway and the expression of apoptosis-related proteins in human kindey proximal tubular epithelial cells (HK-2 cells) were determined by Western blotting after transfection with HBx eukaryotic expression vector. The cell proliferation was observed by CCK-8 assay. The cell apoptosis was analyzed by the imaging of HO33342 staining, transmission electron microscopy and flow cytometry with Annexin V/PI double staining.
RESULTS: After transfection of the target gene HBx, the expression levels of both p-JAK2 and p-STAT3 were significantly increased. At the same time, the cell proliferation was obviously inhibited, and the apoptotic rate was increased. After incubation with AG490, the JAK2/STAT3 signal pathway was partially blocked, and the cell apoptosis induced by HBx was reduced.
CONCLUSION:HBx up-regulates the activation of JAK2/STAT3 signal pathway to induce renal tubular epithelial cell apoptosis, which is possibly involved in the pathogenic mechanism that HBV directly damages nephridial tissue. 相似文献

AIM:To observe the effects of capsaicin on cognitive impairment and mitochondria-associated endoplasmic reticulum membranes (MAMs) of hippocampal CA1 area in the rats with chronic cerebral hypoperfusion (CCH), and to investigate the underlying molecule mechanism of cognitive defects induced by ischemia. METHODS:Healthy male Sprague-Dawley (SD) rats(n=48) were randomly divided into sham operation (sham) group,CCH model (CCH) group, capsaicin group,and solvent group, 12 rats in each group. Capsaicin at 2.5 mg/kg was intraperitoneally injected twice a week for 4 weeks, starting on the 7th day after surgery. The rats in solvent group were given the same amount of solvent at the same time and under the same conditions. Morris water maze, object recognition test and open field test were conducted to analyze the cognitive related behavior performance on the 4th week after surgery. The changes of MAMs in the hippocampal CA1 region were observed under transmission electron microscope, the co-localization of the MAMs was observed by immunofluorescence double-labeling, and the expression of mitofusin 2 (Mfn2) in the hippocampal tissue was determined by Western blot.RESULTS:Four weeks after the operation, the behavior tests showed that the cognitive function of CCH rats was impaired compared with sham operation group. Compared with solvent group, spatial learning and memory in capsaicin group was improved significantly. The results of transmission electron microscope and confocal microscope showed that the distance of MAMs in the hippocampal CA1 area of CCH rats was increased compared with sham operation group, and the co-localization of the contacts was decreased (P<0.05). Compared with solvent group, the correlation between the mitochondria and ER in capsaicin group was increased (P<0.05). The protein level of Mfn2 in CCH group was significantly lower than that in sham group (P<0.05). Compared with solvent group, the protein level of Mfn2 in capsaicin group was higher (P<0.05). CONCLUSION:CCH rats showed decreased cognitive function and loosen MAMs. Capsaicin improves the cognitive behavior of CCH rats by up-regulation of MAMs. 相似文献

AIM: To observe the effects of brucine on the viability and apoptosis of colon cancer SW480 cells.METHODS: The SW480 cells were divided into control group, 1 μmol/L brucine treatment group, 100 μg/L IL-6 treatment group and IL-6+brucine treatment group. The cell viability was detected by CCK-8 assay. The apoptotic rate was measured by flow cytometry using fluorescein-labeled Annexin V/PI. The changes of apoptosis-related proteins were determined by Western blot. The protein level of p-STAT3 was also detected by immunofluorescence staining. RESULTS: Brucine inhibited SW480 cell growth, and the viability inhibition rate of the SW480 cells treated with brucine alone was more efficient than using brucine combined with IL-6 (P < 0.05). The apoptotic SW480 cells increased significantly after 1 μmol/L brucine treatment as compared with brucine treatment alone (P < 0.05). The apoptotic SW480 cells were significantly reduced in brucine and IL-6 combination treatment group (P < 0.05). Brucine inhibited the protein level of p-STAT3 significantly. The protein level of p-STAT3 was significantly increased in 100 μg/L IL-6 treatment group. Compared with 1 μmol/L brucine treatment alone, the expression of Bcl-2 was increased and the protein levels of p-STAT3, Bax and cleaved PARP were reduced in brucine and IL-6 combination treatment group (P < 0.05).CONCLUSION: Brucine may inhibit the activation of STAT3 phosphorylation in IL-6/STAT3 pathway to exert an antitumor effect on SW480 cells in vitro. 相似文献

AIM: To investigate the regulatory effect of JAK2-STAT3 signaling pathway on the neuroprotection of ischemic postconditioning (IPoC) in tree shrews, and to explore the mechanisms of cerebral injury deterioration after inhibiting the JAK2-STAT3 pathway. METHODS: The model of thrombotic cerebral ischemia was induced by photochemical reaction in tree shrews and the IPoC was established at 4 h after ischemia followed by clipping ipsilateral common carotid artery on the ischemia side for 5 min (3 times). After IPoC and intracerebroventricular injection of AG490 (JAK2 inhibitor), the changes of cerebral infarction area were detected by TTC staining, and the histological and ultrastructural changes of cortical neurons were observed under light and electron microscopes, respectively. The protein levels of t-STAT3 and p-STAT3 in the cortical tissue were determined by Western blot. RESULTS: The neuronal pycnosis, mitochondrial swelling and vanish of the mitochondrial cristae were found in cortical cortex, and the infarction area was (24.78±3.30)% at 24 h after cerebral ischemia. Meanwhile, the phosphorylation level of STAT3 protein in the cortical tissue was significantly increased (P<0.01). The cortical neuronal damage and mitochondrial swelling were decreased after IPoC, the area of cerebral infarction was significantly reduced to (17.67±1.83)% (P<0.01), and the phosphorylation level of STAT3 protein was further increased (P<0.01). However, the neuronal damage was aggravated, the infarction area was expanded to (23.85±2.77)%(P<0.05) after treatment with AG490, and the phosphorylation level of STAT3 protein was also significantly reduced (P<0.05). CONCLUSION: IPoC may reduce cerebral injury by regulating the phosphorylation of STAT3 protein, and inhibition of JAK2-STAT3 signaling pathway may counteract the cerebral protective effect of IPoC and aggravate brain injury. 相似文献

AIM:To explore the effect of Xinshuaikang on myocardial autophagy in the rats with chronic heart failure and its relationship with the MAPK/ERK1/2 signaling pathway. METHODS:The rats were divided into sham group, model group (rat model of chronic heart failure was established by ligation of anterior descending branch of left coronary artery), low-, middle-, and high-dose Xinshuaikang treatment (TL, TM and TH) groups and captopril group (treated with captopril as positive control), with 12 in each group. Doppler echocardiography was used to evaluate the cardiac function. The morphological changes of the myocardium were observed by HE staining. TUNEL staining was used to detect cardiomyocyte apoptosis. The expression of microtubule-associated protein 1 light chain 3-Ⅱ (LC3-Ⅱ) in the myocardium was detected by immunofluorescence labeling. The protein levels of p-ERK, p-p38 MAPK, LC3-Ⅱ, beclin-1 and p62 in the myocardium were determined by Western blot. RESULTS:Compared with sham group, left ventricular end-diastolic dia-meter (LVEDD) and left ventricular end-systolic diameter (LVESD) in model group were increased, while left ventricular posterior wall thickness at end-diastole (LVPWTd), left ventricular posterior wall thickness at end-systole (LVPWTs), left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF), cardiac output (CO), left ventricular diastolic pressure (LVDP), left ventricular systolic pressure (LVSP) and maximum rate of rise/decrease of left ventricular pressure (+dp/dtmax/-dp/dtmax) were decreased (P<0.05). The myocardial cells were deformed and necrotic, and the myocardial fibers were broken, with inflammatory cell infiltration. The apoptotic rate, the positive rate of LC3-Ⅱ, and the protein levels of p-ERK, p-p38 MAPK, LC3-Ⅱ/LC3-I and beclin-1 were increased, and the protein expression of p62 was decreased (P<0.05). Compared with model group, the levels of LVEDD and LVESD were decreased, LVPWTd, LVPWTs, LVEF, CO, LVSP, LVDP, +dp/dtmax and -dp/dtmax were increased in Xinshuaikang groups and captopril group (P<0.05). The morphological changes of myocardial cells were gradually returned to normal, and inflammatory cell infiltration, the apoptotic rate and the positive rate of LC3-Ⅱ were decreased. The protein levels of p-ERK, p-p38 MAPK, LC3-Ⅱ/LC3-I and beclin-1 were decreased, and the protein expression of p62 was increased (P<0.05). CONCLUSION:Xinshuaikang inhibits myocardial auto-phagy to play a role of cardiac protection in the rats with chronic heart failure, and its mechanism may be related to inhibition of MAPK/ERK1/2 signaling pathway. 相似文献

AIM: To observe the effects of interleukin-6 (IL-6) and AG490 on diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) and Burkitt lymphoma (BL) transplanted into nude mice, and to explore the effects of STAT3 activation on growth of these kinds of lymphoma in nude mice and its related mechanisms. METHODS: The nude mouse models with DLBCL and BL were established by transplantation with OCI-LY8 cells and Raji cells, respectively, and were divided into 3 groups:control group, IL-6 group and AG490 group. The body weight of mice and tumor size were measured. Western blot and immunohistochemical staining were used to detect the protein levels of p-STAT3, survivin and vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), and real-time PCR was used to detect the mRNA expression of survivin and VEGF. RESULTS: The tumorigenic rate of 2 kinds of tumor cell lines in nude mice was 83.3% (25/30) totally. The tumorigenicity of OCI-LY8 cells (66.7%, 10/15) was significantly lower than that of Raji cells (100%, 15/15) (P<0.05). The tumor size and body weight on days 9 and 10 in IL-6 group increased as compared with the control group, and the total difference value of tumor size between day 1 and day 10 in IL-6 group was obviously larger than that in control group (P<0.05). The positive protein of p-STAT3 was found in the nucleus, while the positive expression of survivin and VEGF was found in the cytoplasm. As compared with control group, the expression of survivin and VEGF was significantly increased (P<0.05), while the protein level of p-STAT3 was not significantly increased in IL-6 group of DLBCL. The protein levels of p-STAT3 and VEGF were significantly decreased (P<0.05), while the expression of survivin did not significantly decreased in AG490 group of DLBCL. The p-STAT3 and VEGF levels significantly increased (P<0.05) in IL-6 group of BL, while the levels of 3 kinds of proteins significantly deceased (P<0.05) in AG490 group of BL, as compared with control group. No statistical difference of mRNA expression of survivin and VEGF among IL-6, AG490 and control groups was observed. CONCLUSION: IL-6 and AG490 affect the growth of DLBCL and BL through activation of STAT3 pathway. The activated STAT3 participates in pathogenesis and progress of DLBCL and BL by up-regulating the expression of survivin and VEGF. 相似文献

AIM: To investigate the effects of ginsenoside RH2 (GS-RH2) on neovascularization of rats with middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO) and its potential mechanisms. METHODS: SPF Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly divided into sham operation (sham) group, MCAO model (MCAO) group and GS-RH2 group, with 18 rats in each group. After surgery, the general condition and neurological function score of the rats were assessed. At the 1st day, 3rd day and 7th day after intervention, the microvessel density (MVD), the content of malondialdehyde (MDA) and the activity of superoxide dismutase (SOD) and glutathione peroxidase (GSH-Px) were examined. The protein expression of kelch-like ECH-associated protein 1 (Keap1), nuclear factor E2-related factor 2 (Nrf2) and heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1) was determined by Western blot. RESULTS: Compared with sham group, the rats in MCAO group showed significant neurobehavioral obstacles and ischemic brain infarction with higher neurological function score, while treatment with GS-RH2 significantly improved behavioral impairment and reduced the infarction volume with lower neurological function score. The MVD score in GS-RH2 group was increased as the animal survival time prolonged, while the MVD score in MCAO group was decreased. After intervention for 7 d, the MVD score in GS-RH2 group was significantly higher than that in MCAO group (P<0.05). Compared with sham group, the content of MDA was increased and the activities of SOD and GSH-Px were decreased in MCAO group at each time point. After intervention for 7 d, the MDA content was decreased and the SOD and GSH-Px activities were increased in GS-RH2 group compared with MCAO group. After intervention for 7 d, the protein expression of Nrf2 and HO-1 was increased, while the protein expression of Keap1 was decreased in GS-RH2 group compared with MCAO group(P<0.05). CONCLUSION: Ginsenoside RH2 promotes neovascularization of MCAO model rats. The mechanism may be related to the activation of Keap1/Nrf2 signaling pathway, promotion of the antioxidant enzyme activity and inhibition of oxidative stress. 相似文献

AIM: To investigate the effect of PI3K/Akt signaling pathway on S100A6-induced proliferation and migration of human osteosarcoma cell line 143B. METHODS: Recombinant human S100A6 protein (rhS100A6) was prepared. The 143B cells were treated with rhS100A6 in the presence or absence of PI3K inhibitor (LY294002 or wortmannin) exposure. The final concentrations of rhS100A6, LY294002 and wortmannin were 30 mg/L, 10 μmol/L and 0.5 μmol/L, respectively. The expression levels of total Akt (t-Akt) and phosphorylated Akt (p-Akt) in the 143B cells were analyzed by Western blotting. The cell proliferation and migration were determined by MTT and Transwell assays. RESULTS: rhS100A6 protein was successfully prepared, and significantly increased the proliferation and migration of 143B cells (P<005). rhS100A6 up-regulated the phosphorylation of Akt in 143B cells (P<005). Compared with rhS100A6 group, the level of p-Akt in 143B cells and the proliferation and migration of the cells were decreased in combined treatment group of rhS100A6 with LY294002 or wortmannin (P<005), where the proliferation rate at different time points dropped from 10.3% to 69.7% (P<005), and the migration rate dropped from 34.9% to 47.7% (P<005). CONCLUSION: To some extent, S100A6 promotes proliferation and migration of human ostersarcoma cell line 143B through PI3K/Akt signaling pathway. 相似文献

AIM: To characterize the proportion of CD14+CD16+ monocytes in peripheral blood from type 2 diabetes (T2DM) patients and to observe the response of CD14+CD16+ monocytes to lipopolysaccharide (LPS) and interleukin-15 (IL-15) for further exploring the potential mechanism of inflammatory immune response in the pathogenesis of T2DM. METHODS: Twenty-eight patients with T2DM and 20 healthy volunteers were enrolled in the study. The peripheral blood was collected for determining the percentage of CD14+CD16+ monocytes by flow cytometry. The peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) were isolated and subject to stimulation with LPS and IL-15 for 4 h. The protein expression of STAT5 was detected by Western blotting and the phosphorylated (p)-STAT5 was determined by Western blotting and immunofluorescence. Serum levels of 25-hydroxyvitamin D3 and IL-6, and the concentrations of IL-6 and monocyte chemoattractant protein-1(MCP-1) in the culture supernatants were assessed by ELISA. Serum level of C-reactive protein (CRP) was measured by immunoturbidimetry. RESULTS: There were positive correlations between the quantity of CD14+CD16+ monocytes and serum levels of CRP and IL-6 (r=0.394, P<0.05 and r=0.741, P<0.01), while serum 25 (OH) D3 was negatively correlated with the quantity of CD14+CD16+ monocytes (r=-0.409, P<0.01), serum CRP(r=-0.479,P<0.01) and serum IL-6 (r=-0.774,P <0.01). After stimulated with LPS and IL-15, PBMC showed significant up-regulation of p-STAT5 protein expression, and significant increases in the supernatant levels of IL-6 and MCP-1 were observed (P<0.05). The expression of p-STAT5 existed in the nucleus.CONCLUSION: These findings suggest that the functional disturbance in monocytes occurs in T2DM, which may be related to insufficiency of vitamin D3. The aberrant activation of STAT5 signaling pathway underlies the functional abnormalities of the monocytes in T2DM. 相似文献

AIM: To study the effects of Xingnao enema fluid on brain injury and IL-33/ST2 signaling pathway in rats after cardiopulmonary resuscitation, and to explore the brain protective effect and mechanism of Xingnao enema fluid. METHODS: SD rats were randomly divided into sham operation group, model group, low-dose (5 mL/kg), middle-dose (10 mL/kg) and high-dose (20 mL/kg) Xingnao enema liquid groups, and ulinastatin group, with 12 rats in each group. Except for the rats in sham operation group, the rats in other groups were used to establish the model of cardiopulmonary resuscitation and were treated with Xingnao enema fluid and ulinastatin. Seven days later, all rats were scored for neurological deficit. The rats were sacrificed, and the water content of brain tissues was calculated. Hematoxylin-eosin (HE) staining was used to detect the pathological changes of brain tissues of the rats in each group. The levels of super-oxide dismutase (SOD) and malondialdehyde (MDA) were detected in the brain tissue. The levels of S100 calcium bin-ding protein beta subunit (S100β) and neuron-specific enolase (NSE) in serum, and interleukin (IL)-1β and tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α in brain tissue were measured by ELISA. The expression of interleukin-33 (IL-33) and growth stimulation expressed gene 2 (ST2) in brain tissue was determined by Western blot. RESULTS: Compared with sham operation group, the brain tissue of model group showed tissue disorder, focal hemorrhage, neuronal nucleus contraction, apoptosis and other pathological changes, and the neurological deficit score was increased. The water content of brain tissue, the le-vels of S100β, NSE, MDA, IL-1β, TNF-α, IL-33 and ST2 were significantly increased, and the level of SOD decreased significantly (P <0.05). Compared with model group, the pathological damage of brain tissue in low-, middle- and high-dose Xingnao encma fluid groups and ulinastatin group was reduced, and the neurological deficit score was decreased. The water content of brain tissue, levels of S100β, NSE, MDA, IL-1β, TNF-α, IL-33 and ST2 were significantly decreased, and the level of SOD was increased significantly (P <0.05). There was a dose-dependent relationship in different doses of Xingnao enema fluid groups, and no significant difference between high-dose Xingnao enema fluid group and ulinastatin group was observed (P >0.05). CONCLUSION: Xingnao enema fluid repairs brain injury in rats after cardiopulmonary resuscitation, and down-regulation of IL-33/ST2 signaling pathway may be its mechanism. 相似文献

AIM:To investigate the effect oferythropoietin (EPO) on the rats with heart failure (HF) in hypothermia and to explore its underlying mechanism.METHODS:The Sprague-Dawley rats (n=80) were randomly divided into five groups:control group (CON group),HF in low-temperature group (HFLT group),HF in normal temperature group (HFNT group),HF with EPO in low temperature group (HFLT+EPO group),and HF with EPO and LY2940002 in low temperature group (HFLT+EPO+LY group).All rats were housed in artifitial climate chamber.The animals in CON,HFLT,HFLT+EPO and HFLT+EPO+LY groups were under the low-temperature environment,while those in HFNT group were under normal temperature.The heart function was evaluated by echocardiography.The rats were then executed and the hearts were harvested.The apoptosis of myocytes was assessed by TUNEL method.The mRNA expression of Fas and PI3K was detected by fluorescence quantitative PCR (qPCR) and the protein levels of HSP70,Akt and p-Akt in the myocardial tissues were determined by Western blot.RESULTS:The rat cardiac functions in HFLT group were significantly deteriorated compared with HFNT group.The cardiac functions in HFLT+EPO group were improved compared with HFLT group.The cardiac functions in HFLT+EPO+LY group were significantly pejorated compared with HFLT+EPO group.The apoptotic index of the myocardium in HFLT group and HFNT group was significantly higher than that in CON group (P<0.01).The apoptotic index of the myocardium in HFLT group was significantly higher than that in HFNT group (P<0.05).The apoptotic index of the myocardium in HFLT+EPO group was significantly lower than that in HFLT group (P<0.01).The mRNA expression of Fas in HFLT group was significantly higher than that in HFNT group,and no obvious difference of the mRNA expression level of PI3K between HFLT group and HFNT group was observed.The mRNA expression of PI3K in HFLT+EPO group was significantly lower than that in HFLT group and HFLT+EPO+LY group (P<0.05),and that in HFLT+EPO group was significantly higher than that in HFLT group and HFLT+EPO+LY group (P<0.05). The protein levels of p-Akt and HSP70 in HFLT+EPO group was also higher than those in HFLT group and HFLT+EPO+LY group (P<0.05),and no obvious difference of the protein levels of p-Akt and HSP70 in CON,HFLT and HFNT groups was found.The protein level of Akt had no significant difference in each group.CONCLUSION:The pathway of PI3K/Akt may be one of the cardioprotective ways of EPO.EPO activates the PI3K/Akt pathway,upregulates the experssion of HSP70(an endogenous protective factor) and inhibits the apoptosis,thus protecting the cardiac functions in the rats with HF in hypothermia. 相似文献

ATM: To probe the effect and the mechanism of astragaloside IV and ginsenoside Rg1 on autophagy of PC12 cells induced by oxygen glucose deprivation/reoxygenation (OGD/R). METHODS: The autophagy injury model of PC12 cells induced by OGD/R was established(PC12 cells were exposed to 2 h of OGD followed by 24 h of reoxygenation). The effects of astragaloside IV combined with ginsenoside Rg1 on autophagy of PC12 cells were observed, and the mechanism was studied through PI3K Ⅰ/Akt/mTOR and PI3K Ⅲ/becline-1/Bcl-2 signaling pathways. RESULTS: After OGD/R, LC3-Ⅱ/LC3-Ⅰin PC12 cells was increased. Astragaloside IV, ginsenoside Rg1 and astragaloside IV combined with ginsenoside Rg1 restrained the increase in LC3-Ⅱ/LC3-Ⅰ, the effect of the combination was greater than using the drug alone. Ginsenoside Rg1, astragaloside IV combined with ginsenoside Rg1 up-regulated the phosphorylation level of PI3K Ⅰ, Akt and mTOR. The effects of the combination were stronger than those of using the drug alone. Astragaloside IV, astragaloside IV combined with ginsenoside Rg1 inhibited the protein expression of PI3K Ⅲ and becline-1, the effects of the combination were better than those of single astragaloside IV and single ginsenoside Rg1. Meanwhile, the combination treatment increased Bcl-2 protein expression. CONCLUSION: The autophagy of PC12 cells induced by OGD/R is inhibited by astragaloside IV and ginsenoside Rg1. Furthermore, astragaloside IV combined with ginsenoside Rg1 plays synergitic inhibition on autophagy, the mechanism may be related to PI3K Ⅰ/Akt/mTOR and PI3K Ⅲ/becline-1/Bcl-2 signaling pathways. 相似文献

AIM: To investigate the effect of growth arrest-specific protein 6(Gas 6) on H9c2 cell apoptosis induced by anoxia-reoxygenation (A/R) and its possible relationship with PI3K/Akt pathway. METHODS: Cultured H9c2 cell line of cardiomyocytes was randomly divided into 4 groups: normal control group, anoxia-reoxygenation group (A/R), anoxia-reoxygenation+Gas6 group (A/R+Gas6) and anoxia/reoxygenation+Gas6+LY294002 group (A/R+Gas6+LY294002). The procedure of A/R was performed in cultured H9c2 cells by 3 h of anoxia and then 3 h of reoxygenation. The viability of the cells and the activity of caspase-3 were detected by automatic biochemistry analytic instrument. Cell apoptotic rates were evaluated by flow cytometry. The protein level of phosphorylated Akt(p-Akt) was determined by Western blotting. RESULTS: Compared with control group, the cell viability was significantly decreased, and caspase-3 activity, cell apoptotic rate and the protein level of p-Akt were increased in A/R group. Compared with A/R group, the caspase-3 activity and cell apoptotic rate reduced markedly, while the cell viability and the protein level of p-Akt were significantly increased in A/R+Gas6 group .The effect of Gas6 was inhibited by LY294002. CONCLUSION: Gas6 may protect the H9c2 cells from anoxia-reoxygenation-induced apoptosis. Its mechanism is possibly involved in the activation of PI3K/Akt survival pathway via increasing the phosphorylation of Akt protein. 相似文献
