METHODS： The ARIP2 mRNA expression kinetics in Hepal-6 cells was detected by RT-PCR, and its regulation factors were analyzed by treatment with signal transduction activators such as phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate （PMA）, forskolin and A23187. After pcDNA3- ARIP2 was transfected into Hepal-6 cells, the effects of ARIP2 overexpression on activin type Ⅱ receptor （ActRⅡ） and collagen Ⅳ expression were evaluated. RESULTS： The expression levels of ARIP2 mRNA in Hapel-6 cells were elevated in time-dependent manner 12 h after treatment with activin A and endotoxin LPS, but not changed evidently in the early stage of stimulation （2 or 4 h）. The ARIP2 mRNA expression was increased after stimulated with signal transduction activators such as PMA and forskolin in Hepal-6 cells, whereas decreased after treatment with A23187 （25.3% ± 5.7% vs 48.1% ± 3.6%, P 〈 0.01）. ARIP2 overexpression could remarkably suppress the expression of ActRⅡA mRNA in dose-dependent manner, but has no effect on ActRⅡB in Hepal-6 cells induced by activin A. Furthermore, we have found that overexpression of ARIP2 could inhibit collagen Ⅳ mRNA and protein expressions induced by activin A in Hapel-6 cells. CONCLUSION： These findings suggest that ARIP2 expression can be influenced by various factors. ARIP2 may participate in the negative feedback regulation of signal transduction in the late stage by affecting the expression of ActRIIA and play an important role in regulation of development of liver fibrosis induced by activin.展开更多

In order to explore the anti-metastatic mechanism of LNGPs, we studied the effects of LN-GPs on metastasisrelated behaviors of cancer cells in vitro. LN-GPs did not affect cell survival. However, LN-GPs inhibited cell attachment and spreading Of 5180 cells on LN- and Matrigelsubstrate in dose-dependent and time-dependent manners. Moreover, inhibition of cen attachment and spreading on Matrigel substrates were much greater on Matrigel substrate than on LN substrate. In the presence of LN-GPs, 5180 cells on LN substrate changed from a flattened polygonal shape to a round one, the migration of 5180 cells on LN substrate decreased, and the number of a highly invasive human pulmonary giant caxcinoma PG cells invading Matrigel filter in a Boyden chamber was reduced. LN-GPs thus have multiple inhibitory effects on cancer motastasisrelated behaviors.展开更多

PVA was blended with various amounts of GAG and COL. Different proportional scaffolds could be obtained with different molecular weight and alcoholysis degree of PVA and different amounts of GAG,which exhibited high water content (60%-95%) and showed different inner configuration with swelling ratio (120%-620%). SEM proved that different composite materials had different porous structures.展开更多

In this study, SEM was used to observe the morphology. Biocompatibility was tested by cell culture with the extracted fluid of composite materials. Different proportional scaffolds could be obtained with different concentrations and alcoholysis degree of PVA. Different proportional scaffolds also had different porous structures. SEM proved that large amount of porous structure could be formed. Biocompatibility test showed that the extracted fluid of composite materials was nontoxic, which could promote the adhesion and proliferation of the fibroblast. Fibroblast could grow on the scaffold normally.A porous scaffold for tissue engineering with high water content can be fabricated by PVA, GAG and COL, which has excellent cell biocompatibility. The porous structure shows potential in tissue engineering and cell culture.展开更多
