After digestion with restriction endonuclease, the target fragment was subcloned into the multi-clone sites of the eukaryotic vector. The constructed vector was verified by enzyme digestion and sequencing,and the product expressed was detected by RT-PCR and immunofluorescence methods.RESULTS: The full-length mCD40L-cDNA was successfully cloned into the eukaryotic vector through electrophoresis,and mCD40L gene was integrated into the genome of infected H22 cells by RT-PCR. Murine CD40L antigen molecule was observed in the plasma of mCD40L-H22 by indirect immuno-fluorescence staining.CONCLUSION: The recombined mCD40L eukaryotic expression vector can be expressed in H22 cell line. It providesexperimental data for gene therapy and target therapy ofhepatocellular carcinoma.展开更多

Methods 30 cases who were diagnosis coronary artery diseases(CAD) by coronary angiography, mean age 56±9 years old. All the patients who had no antiplatelet aggregation contraindication, were treated with standard anti angina pectoris drugs. Before PCI, all the patients took clopidogrel 75 mg per day. Activated platelet membrane CD40L express rate was measured by flow cytometry before and after PCI 6 hours. Results Activated platelet membrane CD40L express rate were 3.73±2.15 and 2.46±0.90, respectively in 30 patients before and after PCI 6 hours. Activated platelet membrane CD40L express rate was significantly decrease after PCI 6 hours than that before PCI(P<0.01). Conclusions Clopidogrel has significance effect on platelet membrane CD40L in coronary artery disease patients undergoing PCI. Clopidogrel can suppression platelet activation and prevent thromboembolism event occurrence.展开更多

Methods Forty-two patients with NSTEACS were treated with clopidogrel for 6 - 8 days. In order to obtain platelet rich plasma (PRP) samples, the venous blood was drawn before and after treatment, respectively. The platelets were activated by adenosine diphosphate (ADP) , thus releasing sCD40L, sCD40L levels were determined by en- zyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) at different time of the reaction. Results Plasma sCD40L concentration before treatment was (0. 199 ± 0. 155 ) ng/mL, and (0. 190 ± 0. 176) ng/mL after treatment ( P 〉 0.05 ). Before treatment the PRP sCD40L level at 20-minute of platelet activation was (4.34 ± 2.51 ) ng/mL, and decreased to (2.79 ±1.93 ) ng/mL after treatment ( P 〈 0. 001 ). The corresponding level at 40 - minute of platelet activation was (5.29 ± 3. 13 ) ng/mL before treatment and ( 2.87 ± 1.59 ) ng/mL after treatment( P 〈 0. 001 ). Conclusions Short-term clopidogrel administration might inhibit the release of sCD40L by ADP-activated platelet in patients with NSTEACS, suggesting that, in addition to its antiplatelet potency, clopidogrel may still have an anti-inflammatory effect.展开更多
