Methods: Forty Kunming mice were randomly divided into infection group (20) injected with HCMVAD169 and control group (20) injected with saline into their brain. After 30 days, the murine brain tissues by HCMV infection and paired murine brain tissues were separated by two-dimensional gel electrophoresis(2-DE), analyzed by Image Master 2D software, and identified by peptide mass fingerprint(PMF) and database searching, and make Western blotting analyses the differential expression of individual proteins. Results: Well resolved, reproducible 2-D maps of the above tissues were obtained. Some of the different proteins identified by mass spectrometry(MS) were matched in the SWISS-2D PAGE database, Western blotting analyses were further carried out to verify the differential expression of individual proteins. Conclusion: These data will be valuable for studying the diagnosis of disease at an early stage, mechanisms of pathogenic and the key to the development of anti-HCMV medicine.展开更多

However, the possible roles of TCs in vascular diseases remain unclear. In this study, we used a rat model of carotid artery balloon injury (CABI) to study the changes and potential roles of vascular TCs after vascular injury. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and CD34/vimentin immunolabeling were used to identify and quantify TCs in normal and injured carotid arteries. Quantita- tive immunofluorescence analysis revealed that, compared with the sham group, the number of TCs in the CAB1 group in- creased from 7.2+1.0 to an average of 20.4+1.8 per l-ram2 vascular area. The expression level of miR-24 in TCs was three times higher than in vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs). The percentage of VSMCs in S phase and G2/M phase increased by approximately 5% when VSMCs were incubated with the supematant of TCs. The antagomir of miR-24 in TCs reduced the ratio of VSMCs in S ohase and G2/M phase. This study illuminates the function of TCs in the proliferation of VSMCs.展开更多
