Material and methods: Twenty-four cases of rabbit VX2 liver tumor were performed by CT perfusion scanning. Hepatic artery perfusion (HAP), portal vein perfusion (PVP), total hepatic blood flow (THBF) and hepatic perfusion index (HPI) were measured by perfusion software. HIF-1α, VEGF and MMP-2 expression and MVD were detected in the 24 rabbit VX2 liver tumor tissue samples using immunohistochemical method. The correlation between the HIF-1α, VEGF, MMP-2 expression and MVD and CT perfusion parameters were analyzed. Results: Correlation analysis revealed that the expression of HIF-1α, MMP-2, MVD were positively related to the HAP, THBF, HPI (p < 0.01), but no relations with PVP (p > 0.05);and correlation analysis revealed that the expression of VEGF was positively related to the HAP, HPI (p 0.05). There was a positive relationship between the expression of HIF-1α, VEGF, MMP-2 and MVD (p < 0.01). Conclusions: CT perfusion imaging can reflect the blood perfusion of the rabbit VX2 liver tumors and evaluate the information of angiogenesis about tumors.展开更多

In this study, we investigated the RNA interference (RNAi) effect induced by small interfering RNA (siRNA) targeting CD28 mRNA on human lymphocytes and its specificity.Methods According to CD28 gene sequence, we designed and synthysized three different siRNAs ( siRNA-1,siRNA-2, siRNA-3 ) containing 21 bases using SilencerTM siRNA construction kit. These siRNAs were transfected into freshly isolated human lymphocytes with Lipofectamine 2000 reagent. At 24-hour, 48-hour and 72-hour post transfection, these cells were collected and analyzed. The changes of surface expression of CD28 gene were detected by flow cytometry, and the changes of CD28 mRNA levels were determined by semiquantitative reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR). The cell viability of transfected lymphocytes was determined by methyl thiazolyl tetrazolium (MTT) assay and trypan blue dye exclusion assay.Results Three siRNAs (siRNA-1, siRNA-2, siRNA-3) specifically targeting CD28 mRNA were successfully designed and constructed. Flow cytometry analysis showed that a decrease in CD28 expression was detectable at 24-hour post transfection. Different siRNA showed different inhibition effects on CD28 expression. At 48-hour post transfection, the degrees of reduction with siRNA-1, siRNA-2 and siRNA-3 were 22. 10% ± 1.63% ,73.50% ± 1.02% and 42.90% ± 0.89% respectively compared with the control ( P < 0. 001 ). Neither of the groups transfected only with siRNA or lipo showed marked reduction in CD28 expression (3.15% ± 0.75% and 4. 55% ±0. 80% ) (P >0. 05). Moreover, lymphocytes treated with siRNA-co showed no marked reduction in CD28 expression (5.07% ± 0. 96% ) (P > 0. 05 ). The results of semi-quantitative RT-PCR assay indicated CD28 mRNA level was inhibited after transfection of specific siRNAs. At least 4-fold of reduction in siRNA-2 group occurred at 48-hour post transfection compared with the control (P < 0. 001 ). MTT assay and trypan blue dye exclusion assay demonstrated that the viable cell rations of transfected lymphocytes were significantly reduced in siRNA-1, siRNA-2 and siRNA-3 groups at 48-hour post transfection (P <0.01 ). The control groups showed no marked reduction in cell viability ( P > 0.05 ).Conclusions Three different siRNAs were synthesized and transfected into lymphocytes. They could reduce the expression of CD28 and the CD28 mRNA level, siRNA-2 was the most efficient. The cell viability reduced correspondingly. Therefore, the silencing effect on CD28 mRNA induced by siRNA may contribute to costimulatory blockade. This result show that siRNA may be useful for further study on graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) after allogeneic bone marrow transplantation (allo-BMT).展开更多

Methods： LPS （O111： B4） was used to produce a rat model of acute lung injury. Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly divided into 3 groups （8 in each group）： the control group, the model group （ALl group）, and the tanshinone Ⅱ A treatment group. Expression of adhesion molecule CD18 on the surface of polymorphonuclear neutrophil （PMNCD18） in venous white blood cells （WBC）, and changes in coagulation-anticoagulant indexes were measured 6 h after injection of LPS or normal saline. Changes in malondialdehyde （MDA） content, wet and dry weight （W/D） ratio and morphometry of pulmonary tissue as well as PMN sequestration in the lung were also measured. Results： （1） When compared with the control group, expression of PMNCD18 and MDA content were enhanced in the ALl group with a hypercoagulable state （all P〈0.01） and an increased W/D ratio （P〈0.05）. Histopathological morphometry in the lung tissue showed higher PMN sequestration, wider alveolar septa; and lower alveolar volume density （Vv） and alveolar surface density （Sv）, showing significant difference （P〈0.01）. （2） When compared with the ALl group, the expression of PMN-CD18, MDA content, and W/D ratio were all lower in Tanshinone Ⅱ A treatment group （P〈0.05） with ameliorated coagulation abnormality （P〈0.01）. Histopathological morphometry in the lung tissue showed a decrease in the PMN sequestration and the width of alveolar septa （both P〈0.01）, and an increase in the Vv and Sv （P〈0.05, P〈0.01）. Conclusion： Tan Ⅱ A plays a protective role in LPS-induced lung injury in rats through improving hypercoagulating state, decreasing PMN-CD18 expression and alleviating migration, reducing lipid peroxidation and alleviating pathological changes.展开更多
