Down-regulation of miR-153-3p attenuates H2O2-induced H9C2 cell injury by promoting Nrf2 expression

AIM To study the effect of microRNA-153-3p (miR-153-3p) knock-down on oxidative injury of H9C2 cells induced by H₂O₂ and its specific mechanism. METHODS The oxidative stress injury of H9C2 cell model was induced by H₂O₂, and then the cell viability and the expression of miR-153-3p were detected by MTT assay and RT-qPCR, respectively. The effects of miR-153-3p knock-down on the H9C2 cell injury under oxidative stress were studied by RNA interference technology. The targets of miR-153-3p were identified by Western blot and dual-luciferase reporter assay. RESULTS MTT assay showed that the viability of H9C2 cells was decreased with the increase in H₂O₂ concentration (P<0.05). The results of RT-qPCR showed that the expression of miR-153-3p was increased with the increase in H₂O₂ concentration (P<0.05). Knock-down of miR-153-3p increased the viability of H9C2 cells under oxidative stress, decreased the cell apoptosis and the content of malondialdehyde (MDA), and increased the activity of superoxide dismutase (SOD). The expression of nuclear factor E2-related factor 2（Nrf2） and antioxidant response element（ARE） activity were increased with the increase in H₂O₂ concentration (P<0.01). TargetScan analysis and dual-luciferase reporter assay showed that Nrf2 was one of the potential target genes of miR-153-3p. The results of Western blot further showed that over-expression of miR-153-3p inhibited the expression of Nrf2 (P<0.01), while down-regulation of miR-153-3p increased the expression of Nrf2 (P<0.01). Dual interference with Nrf2 and miR-153-3p significantly reduced H9C2 cell viability, promoted the apoptosis, increased MDA content, and decreased SOD activity in the presence of H₂O₂ (P<0.01). CONCLUSION Inhibition of miR-153-3p expression attenuates the injury of H9C2 cells induced by H₂O₂ through up-regulating Nrf2/ARE signaling pathway.

天然芸苔素内酯缓解胺苯磺隆对后茬水稻药害的作用机理初探

通过测定天然芸苔素内酯对水稻幼苗谷胱甘肽(GSH)含量、谷胱甘肽-S-转移酶(GST)活性以及在离体和活体条件下对水稻幼苗乙酰乳酸合成酶(ALS)活力的影响,研究天然芸苔素内酯减轻胺苯磺隆对水稻药害的作用机理。结果表明,其作用机理与水稻幼苗GSH含量、GST活性变化没有太大相关性,可能与其能间接激活水稻幼苗ALS活力有较大相关。

[目的]为了比较分析肉碱脂酰转移酶-1(carnitine palmitoyltransferase 1,CPT-1)基因在湘西黄牛不同组织中的发育性表达规律,以探讨CPT-1基因与肉牛脂肪代谢的关系。[方法]试验选取湖南德农牧业集团有限公司国家级保种场不同月龄(6月龄、18月龄和30月龄)湘西黄牛各4头,利用实时荧光定量PCR检测肝脏、背最长肌、皮下和腹腔脂肪组织CPT-1基因的相对表达量。[结果]结果表明,(1)CPT-1基因在湘西黄牛肝脏、背最长肌、皮下脂肪和腹腔脂肪的4个部位中的表达量随月龄增加依次极显著降低(P<0.01)。(2)在6月龄、30月龄时,CPT-1基因在湘西黄牛肝脏、背最长肌、皮下脂肪和腹腔脂肪的4个部位中的表达量无显著差异(P>0.05)。(3)在18月龄时,CPT-1基因在皮下脂肪中的表达量显著高于背最长肌(P<0.05),肝脏与腹腔脂肪中CPT-1基因的表达量与其他3个组织中CPT-1基因的表达量无显著差异(P>0.05)。[结论]说明CPT-1基因对湘西黄牛机体脂肪代谢具有重要作用,CPT-1基因在湘西黄牛主要脂肪代谢部位(肝脏、背最长肌、皮下脂肪和腹腔脂肪)均有表达,且CPT-1基因的表达量随月龄与部位的不同,存在月龄间差异性和组织间相似性与差异性。     

水杨酸对NaCl胁迫下黄瓜种子活力及抗盐性的影响

以黄瓜种子为试材,采用SA进行浸种处理,研究SA对缓解黄瓜种子盐害的效应。结果表明:不同浓度SA浸种能在一定程度上提高黄瓜种子抗盐能力,其发芽率、发芽势和发芽指数均较对照组高,而种子MDA含量和外渗液电导率均低于对照组。其中0.50 mmol/L SA处理的种子的发芽率、发芽势和发芽指数最高;而0.75 mmol/L SA处理对种子MDA含量和外渗液电导率的降低效果最佳。适当浓度外源SA能够提高NaCl胁迫下黄瓜种子的活力,保护细胞膜的完整性,从而提高种子的抗盐性。

Pathological study of dilated cardiomyopathy

AIM: To study the pathological features of the dilated cardiomyopathy and the mechanisms involved. METHODS: The left ventricular myocardium specimens were obtained from 8 patients with dilated cardiomyopathy by BATISTA. The morphological changes was examined macropathologically and histopathologically. RESULTS: The dilated cardiomyopathy from 8 patients can be classified into two types macropathology. One of them showed hypertrophy of left ventricular wall and the other showed fatty infiltration on myocardium of the left ventricular. In the first type, swelling of the endothelial cells as well as luminal stenosis even occlusive of small arteries and arterioles were observed in the study. Electronical microscopical examination showed that there were a lot of homogeneous secretory granules in the endothelial cells. CONCLUSION: These results suggested that the secretory granules might be from the damaged myocardial cells and entered into the adjacent endothelial cells. The pathological changes mentioned above could aggravate the ischemia of myocardium. At the same time, the vicious cycle make the pathological changes more serious. Further study should be made to confirm the nature of the secretory granules.
