May antioxidants status depletion by Tetradifon induce secondary genotoxicity in female Wistar rats via oxidative stress?

Tetradifon is a potent organochlorine acaricide with an estrogen-like structure. The wide spread use of this chemical is likely to pollute the environment. Only few studies have been reported for the evaluation of its short- and long-term toxic effects including genotoxicity and carcinogenicity and there have been conflicting results in in vitro and in vivo test systems. In this work, we have evaluated Tetradifon for its ability to induce genotoxic damages in female Wistar rats. A single cumulative dose of 2430 mg/kg BW was administrated orally for 12 female rats of 190 g BW during 12 weeks. Twelve additional rats, no treated, have served as control. Animals were sacrificed after 6 and 12 weeks of treatment. Genetic toxicity studies were conducted in rats bone marrow, by chromosomal aberrations (CAs) and sister-chromatid exchanges (SCEs) assays. The oxidative stress status of treated animals has been also evaluated by assessment of lipid peroxidation by measuring thiobarbituric acid reactive substances (TBARS). Some serum parameters: vitamins (A and E), triglyceride (TG) and total antioxidants status (TAS) were determined. Our results showed a significant increase in tissue TBARS concentrations in the two treated groups suggesting that Tetradifon induce an oxidative stress. Elsewhere, rats treated with Tetradifon exhibited a statistical decrease in serum level of vitamin E and a significant depletion of serum total antioxidant status. Whereas, in comparison to control rats, treated animal cells did not show a significant increase in either the frequency of SCEs or CAs. These results indicate that Tetradifon did not present direct genotoxic effect in female Wistar rats. But we suggest that its inducting of an oxidative stress may lead to indirect mutagenecity that should be evaluated by other series of in vivo genotoxicity assays as micronucleus test or comet assay.     

牛GDF9和BMP15基因遗传变异与双胎性状的关系研究

以生长分化因子9(Growth differentiation factor 9,GDF9)基因和骨形态发生蛋白15(Bone morphogenet-ic protein 15,BMP15)基因作为牛双胎性状的候选基因,研究了它们在鲁西牛、秦川牛、南阳牛和中国荷斯坦牛4个品种中的遗传变异,并在鲁西牛群体中研究了其多态位点与双胎性状的关系。结果表明:在鲁西牛中GDF9基因的3′UTR发现缺失突变,而其它3个品种中没有发现该突变。对鲁西牛群体中该多态位点与单、双胎性状之间进行卡方显著性检验表明,单胎牛群体与双胎牛群体基因型分布有极显著的差异(P=0.006),双胎牛群体的B等位基因频率明显大于单胎牛群体。通过生物信息学分析表明,突变体mRNA的二级结构与野生型相比总自由能值差异不大,但突变体mRNA翻译起始位点的二级结构稳定性明显大于野生型。在鲁西牛、南阳牛和秦川牛的BMP15基因中发现编码区第759~762位有GAAA 4个碱基存在缺失突变,但没有检测到突变纯合个体,中国荷斯坦牛中没有检测到该突变。卡方显著性检验表明单胎牛群体和双胎牛群体在该位点基因型组成差异不显著(P=0.947)。

Isolation and identification of human fetal bone-derived mesenchymal stem cells and their differentiation to hepatocyte like cells

AIM: To separate and identify the mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) from human fetal bone and to study their differentiation to hepatocyte like cells under the action of chemical induction.METHODS: The MSCs from human fetal bone were isolated and purified according to the different growth characteristic of attaching to the wall of cell culture flask.The cell cycle and surface markers of MSCs were identified using flow cytometry.The MSCs were pre-induced by adding DMSO,β-Me and 5-aza for 24 h,then adding the inductive medium of H-DMEM and rh-HGF to induce their differentiation to hepatocyte like cells (HLCs).HLCs were identified by the typical morphological change and the expression of special protein with the method of immunocytochemistry.RESULTS: The MSCs derived from human fetal bone expressed adhesion molecules CD29+,CD44+,but not antigens of hematopoietic CD34,CD45,and not antigens related to GVHD,such as HLA-DR,CD80 and CD86.Exposure of these cells to above-mentioned inductive agents resulted in obvious morphological change and an increase in expression of AFP and ALB.CONCLUSION: The results suggest the existence of plentiful MSCs in human fetal bone.MSCs derived from human fetal bone can easily differentiate to HLCs,and they have a lower immunogenic nature,which may provide the ideal source for tissue engineering (bioartificial liver) for cellular therapeutics.     

Normal haematopoiesis,cellular components and stainable iron content in the bone marrow of camels (Camelus dromedarius)

Bone marrow samples were collected from the ribs of 20 healthy adult male Iranian camels (Camelus dromedarius). The bone marrow smears were stained using Wright's stain. Blood samples were collected at the same time for routine haematological examination. The development and morphology of the blood cells in the bone marrow of the camels were similar to those of other domestic species. The mean myeloid/erythroid ratio was 1.21, the mean erythroid percentage was 42.7% and the mean myeloid percentage was 52.0%. The mean percentage of other cells was 5.3%. The mean percentage of eosinophils in the myeloid series was higher than in other domestic species. Iron stores, estimated from Perl's stain, ranged from scant (1+) to moderate (3+) but most samples had 2+ iron content. All peripheral blood results were within reference ranges.

Effect of anaesthesia on cell-mediated immunity in dogs undergoing mastectomy for mammary cancer

ObjectiveTo investigate if anaesthesia for canine cancer mastectomy further influences host cell-mediated immunity (CMI) promoting cancer progression.Study designA randomized, controlled, blinded clinical study.AnimalsA total of 20 bitches with malignant mammary tumours of clinical stage II or III undergoing the same type of mastectomy (regional mastectomy).MethodsDogs were randomly allocated to one of two anaesthetic groups (10 per group). The anaesthetic protocol of group A used minimally immunosuppressive drugs (tramadol, robenacoxib, propofol), whereas that of group B (control) used more immunosuppressive drugs (morphine, fentanyl, thiopental, isoflurane). For each animal, measurements of white blood cells (WBCs), neutrophils and lymphocytes, and flow cytometric assessment of T cells (CD3⁺), helper T cells (CD4⁺), cytotoxic T cells (CD8⁺) and CD5^low+ T cells were performed prior to anaesthesia (day 0) and on days 3 and 10 postsurgery. Data were analysed using a General Linear Model for repeated measures and presented as mean ± standard deviation, p ≤ 0.05.ResultsIn all animals, on day 3, WBCs and neutrophils were significantly increased (p < 0.0005), while flow cytometry revealed significantly decreased relative percentages of T cells (CD3⁺) (p = 0.003) and their subpopulations CD4⁺ (p = 0.006), CD8⁺ (p = 0.029) and CD5^low+ (p = 0.031). Specifically, on day 3, the cytotoxic T cells (CD8⁺) were significantly decreased (p = 0.05) only in group B, whereas the CD4⁺ (p = 0.006) and CD5^low+ (p = 0.008) T cells in group A. The only significant difference between groups was found preoperatively in the CD4⁺/CD8⁺ ratio, which was higher in group A (p = 0.006).Conclusions and clinical relevanceIn dogs with mammary cancer undergoing regional mastectomy, a significant decrease in components of CMI was observed on day 3 postsurgery in both anaesthetic groups. Some indication, however, for better preserved cellular immunity by less immunosuppressive anaesthetic/analgesic drugs was detected, rendering their use advisable.
