In the present study, we examined the expression of BPI in postnatal mouse testes and epididymides as well as the subcellular localization within epididymal spermatozoa. Our results showed that, BPI mRNA was expressed in testis and epididymis independently. Throughout the epididymis, the BPI protein level gradually decreased in the epididymal epithelium in a spatial manner, specialized within the cytoplasm of clear cells in the cauda part. We detected BPI proteins in intact acrosome, implying its testicular origin; on the other hand, after the acrosome reaction, BPI proteins were observed dispersed across the entire sperm head, especially enriched at the equatorial segment. Our findings suggested a dual origin of the BPI that generated both in the testis and epididymis, and associated with mouse spermatozoa. BPI protein might be involved in the dynamics modification of the sperm plasma membrane and also the fertilization process.展开更多

Methods:E. coli 026:B6 LPS was injected at a dosage of 12. 5 mg/kg through the artery to reproduce endo toxic shock. BPIP at a dosage of 5 mg/kg (BPIP-treated group) or equal volume of normal saline (control group) were injected immediately after the injection of LPS. Results: ①Survival time of the shocked animals was prolonged and the 24 h survival rate was also significantly increased in BPIP-treated group as compared with the control group. ②The mean arterial pressure, left intraventricular systolic pressure, isovolemic ven tricular pressure and ±dp/dtmax. were significantly higher in BPIP-treated group than in control group. ③ Plasma levels of glutamic-pyruvic transaminase and urea nitrogen were markedly higher but those of endotox in and TNFα were lower in BPIP-treated group than in control group. Conclusion: BPIP can exert significant protective effects on cardiac, hepatic and renal functions in rats after endotoxic shock, indicating that BPIP might be a good choice in treatment of sepsis/septic shock.展开更多

Methods Cultured endothelial cells(ECs) were exposed to TNF-a,and EC cytoskeletal changes were evaluated by observing fluorescence of F-actin following ligation with labeled antibodies.Endothelial permeability was detected by measuring the flux of HRP-albumin across the EC monolayers.To explore the signaling pathways behind TNF-a-induced EC alteration, ECs were treated with either the RhoGTPase inhibitor Y27632 or the MAPK inhibitors PD98059 and SB203580 before TNF-a administration.To further elucidate possible involvement of the RhoA and ERK pathways in TNF-induced EC changes,retrovirus-carried recombinant dominant-negative forms and constitutive-activative forms of RhoA,namely T19NRhoA and Q63LRhoA,were pre-infect-ed into ECs prior to TNF-a exposure.Results TNF-a induced F-actin cytoskeleton rearrangement,as well as EC hyperpermeability in a dose and time-dependent manner.The effects were attenuated in cells pretreated with Y27632 or PD98059,respectively.EC pre-infection with T19NRhoA also alleviated the effects of TNF-a.Furthermore,retrovirus-mediated administration of activated forms of Q63LRhoA alone induced rearrangement of F-actin and hyperpermeability as well as induced the activation of pERK.Conclusions These results indicate that RhoA-ERK/MAPK signal pathway play important roles in the mediation of TNF-a induced EC barrier dysfunction associated with morphological changes of the Factin.展开更多

However, even more attention is placed upon the recurrence of digestive system complications in the course of their use. Recent data suggests that the complications of the lower gastro-intestinal tract may be as frequent and severe as those of the upper tract. NSAIDs enteropathy is due to enterohepatic recycling of the drugs resulting in a prolonged and repeated exposure of the intestinal mucosa to the compound and its metabolites. Thus leading to so-called topical effects, which, in turn, lead to an impairment of the intestinal barrier. This process determines bacterial translocation and toxic substances of intestinal origin in the portal circulation, leading to an endotoxaemia. This condition could determine a liver inflammatory response and might promote the development of nonalcoholic steatohepatitis, mostly in patients with risk factors such as obesity, metabolic syndrome and a high fat diet, which may induce a small intestinal bacterial overgrowth and dysbiosis. This alteration of gut microbiota may contribute to nonalcoholic fatty liver disease and its related disorders in two ways: firstly causing a malfunction of the tight junctions that play a critical role in the increase of intestinal permeability, and then secondly leading to the development of insulin resistance, body weight gain, lipogenesis, fibrogenesis and hepatic oxidative stress.展开更多
