Methods The viability and apoptosis of PC 12 cells were determinded by 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide (MTT) assay and 4′,6′-diamidino-2-phenylindole (DAPI) staining, respectively. The expressions of 14-3-3 protein and phospholylated p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) were determined by Western blot. Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) was used to measure the activity of extracellular signal-regulated protein kinase 1/2 (ERK1/2). Results The cell viability decreased and the number of apoptotic cells increased dramatically in MPP^+ group compared with that in Control group. HPP induced a significant increase in cell viability and a marked decrease in population of apoptotic cells of the MPP^+- treated PC 12 cells, accompanied with up-regulation of 14-3-3 protein and increase of ERK 1/2 and p38 MAPK activities. The 14-3-3 protein expression was positively correlated with the phosphorylation of ERK1/2. Furthermore, inhibition of the ERK1/2 with PD98059 abolished the 14-3-3 protein up-regulation in PC 12 cells induced by HPP. Conclusion HPP protects PC 12 cells against MPP+ toxicity by up-regulating 14-3-3 protein expression through the ERK1/2 and p38 MAPK signaling pathways.展开更多

The IP and IR groups were further divided into four sub-groups (n = 6). Sham operation group (SO) served as the control group (n = 6). A model of partial liver ischemia/reperfusion was used, in which rats were subjected to liver ischemia for 60 min prior to reperfusion. The animals in the IP group underwent ischemic preconditioning twice for 5 min each time prior to the ischemia/reperfusion challenge. Alter 0, 1, 2, and 4 h of reperfusion, serum and liver tissue in each group were collected to detect the level of serum ALT, liver histopathology and expression of cyclinD1 mRNA and protein. Flow cytometry was used to detect cell cycle as the quantity indicator of cell regeneration. RESULTS: Compared with IR group, IP group showed a significantly lower ALT level in 1h to 4h sub-groups (P 〈 0.05). Proliferation index(PI) indicated by the S-phase and G2/M-phase ratio [(S+G2/M)/(G0/G1+S+G2/M)] was significantly increased in IP group at 0 and 1 h (26.44 ± 7.60% vs 18.56 ± 6.40%,41.87 ± 7.27% vs 20.25 ± 6.70%, P 〈 0.05). Meanwhile, cyclinD1 protein expression could be detected in IP group. But in IR group, cyclinD1 protein expression occurred 2 h alter reperfusion. The expression of cyclinD1 mRNA increased significantly in IP group at 0 and 1h (0.568 ± 0.112 vs 0.274 ± 0.069, 0.762 ± 0.164 vs 0.348 ± 0.093,P 〈 0.05).CONCLUSION: Ischemic preconditioning can protect liver cells against ischemia/reperfusion injury, which may be related to cell proliferation and expression of cyclinD1 during early ischemic reperfusion.展开更多

There were 14 males and 7 females aged 3.5- 12 years. Underlying disease included high-risk acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL, CR1 in 3 children and CR2 in 5 children), acute myeloblastic leukemia (AML, 9 children), nonHodgkin' s lymphoma stage Ⅳ (2 children), and neuroblastoma stage Ⅳ (2 children). The peripheral hematopoietic stem cells were collected six to eleven months after complete response, mobilized with high dose chemotherapy alone or combined with GM-CSF or G-CSF. The conditioning regimen consisted of chemotherapy with two to three combinations of the following drugs: cyclophosphamide,arabinosylcytosine, McNU, etopside, and Idarubicin on the basis of TBI (6.0-9.0Gy). A mean of (1.8 ± 0.5) × 108/kg autologous mononuclear cells were transplanted. The patients were followed up after transplantation.Results Severe bone marrow suppression occurred in all patients around day + 7. Peripheral white blood cell count decreased to 0 in all patients at day + 4.8 ± 2.9, and platelet count decreased to less than 20× 109/L at day + 9.0 ± 2.6. Successful engraftment was achieved in 21 patients, but four died of infection at day + 17, + 20, + 31 and + 67, respectively. Recovery of white blood cell (WBC) to 10 × 109/L, absolute neutrophil count to 0.5 × 109/L, platelet count to 20 × 109/L occurred on 21 ± 12,26± 13, and 27 ± 10 days, respectively. During the follow up period, three patients relapsed at + 5months, + 1.5 years, and + 2 years 10 months, respectively. One patient died of intracranial hemorrhage at +8 months. Thirteen patients had event-free survival for 2 - 12 years, with a mean of 6.7±3.4 years.Conclusion Our preliminary data suggest that myeloablative therapy with low dose TBI (6.0 - 9.0 Gy)combined with intensified chemotherapy followed by autologous paripheral blood stem cell transplantation might be associated with favorable results in children with refractory leukemia or solid tumors.展开更多
