METHODS: RT-PCR was performed to measure the expression of TIMMP-1 mRNA in rat HSC. Western blot was performed to measure IL-1β-induced JNK and p38 activities in rat HSC. RESULTS: TIMMP-1 mRNA expression (1.191± 0.079) was much higher after treatment with IL-1β (10 ng/mL) for 24 h than in control group (0.545±0.091) (P〈0.01). IL-1β activated INK and p38 in a time-dependent manner. After stimulation with IL-1β for 0, 5, 15, 30, 60 and 120 min, the INK activity was 0.982±0.299, 1.501±0.720, 2.133±0.882, 3.360±0.452, 2.181±0.789, and 1.385 ± 0.368, respectively. There was a significant difference in JNK activity at 15 min (P〈 0.01), 30 min (P〈 0.01) and 60 min (P〈0.01) in comparison to that at 0 min. The p38 activity was 1.061±0.310, 2.050±0.863, 2.380±0.573, 2.973±0.953, 2.421±0.793, and 1.755 ± 0.433 at the 6 time points (0, 5, 15, 30, 60 and 120 min) respectively. There was a significant difference in p38 activity at 5 min (P〈0.05), 15 min (P〈0.01), 30 min (P〈0.01) and 60 min (P〈0.01) compared to that at 0 min. TIMMP-1 mRNA expression trended to decrease in 3 groups pretreated with different concentrations of SP600125 (10 μmol/L, 1.022±0.113; 20 μmol/L, 0.869±0.070; 40 μmol/L, 0.666±0.123). Their decreases were all significant (P〈0.05, P〈0.01, P〈0.01) in comparison to control group (without SP600125 treatment, 1.163±0.107). In the other 3 groups pretreated with different concentrations of SB203580 (10 μmol/L, 1.507±0.099; 20 μmol/L, 1.698±0.107; 40 μmol/L, 1.857±0.054), the expression of TIMMP-1 mRNA increased. Their levels were higher than those in the control group (without SB203580 treatment, 1.027 ± 0.061) with a significant statistical significance (P〈 0.01). CONCLUSION: IL-1β has a direct action on hepatic fibrosis by up-regulating TIMMP-1 mRNA expression in ratessionin in rate HSC.JNK and p38 mitogen-activated protein kinases (MAPKs) are involved in IL-1β-induced TIMMP-1 gene expression, and play a distinct role in this process, indicating that p38 and .INK pathways cooperatively mediate TIMP-1 mRNA expression in rat HSC.展开更多

METHODS: The effect of AFP on the proliferation of NIH 3T3 cells was measured by incorporation of 3H-TdR. Receptor-binding assay of 125I-AFP was performed to detect the properties of AFP receptor in NIH 3T3 cells. The influences of AFP on the [cAMP]i and the activities of protein kinase A (PKA) were determined. Western blot was used to detect the change of K-ras P21 protein expression. RESULTS: The proliferation of NIH 3T3 cells treated with 0-80 mg/L of AFP was significantly enhanced. The Scatchard analysis indicated that there were two classes of binding sites with KD of 2.722 x 10(-9)M (Bmax=12810 sites per cell) and 8.931 x 10(-8)M (Bmax=119700 sites per cell) respectively. In the presence of AFP (20 mg/L), the content of cAMP and activities of PKA were significantly elevated . The level of K-ras P21 protein was upregulated by AFP at the concentration of 20 mg/L. The monoclonal antibody against AFP could reverse the effects of AFP on the cAMP content, PKA activity and the expression of K-ras p21 gene. CONCLUSION: The effect of AFP on the cell proliferation was achieved by binding its receptor to trigger the signal transduction pathway of cAMP-PKA and alter the expression of K- ras p21 gene.展开更多

Insulin-like growth factor 1 receptor (IGF-1R) signaling plays a very important role in progression, invasion and metastasis of bladder cancer cells. In this study, we investigated whether IGF-1R was involved in the growth stimulating activity and drug resistance of bladder cancer cells. The results showed: The mRNAs of IGF-1, IGF-2 and IGF-1R were strongly expressed in serum-free cultured T24 cell line, whereas normal urothelial cells did not express these factors/receptors or only in trace levels; T24 cell responded far better to growth stimulation by IGF-1 than did normal urothelial cells; blockage of IGF1R by antisense oligodeoxynucleotide (ODN) significantly inhibited the growth of T24 cell and enhanced sensitivity and apoptosis of T24 cells to mitomycin (MMC). These results suggested that blockage of IGF-IR signaling might potentially contribute to the treatment of bladder cancer cells which are insensitive to chemotherapy.展开更多

Methods:Sixty Balb/c nude mice were randomly divided into groups A, B and C with 20 mice in each group. Group A mice were used as blank control, group B mice as model group and group C mice as treatment group. The PASI score of psoriasis, skin thickness, inflammatory factors, serum levels of Caspase-14, SOCS1 and STAT3 in three groups of mice were analyzed after 2 weeks of treatment. Result: After treatment, the P ASI score of group B was significantly higher than that of group C, with statistical significance (P < 0.05);there was statistical significance in the measurements of lesion skin of three groups of mice after treatment (P <0.05). Compared with the blank control group, the thickness of lesion skin in group B and C was significantly higher, and the thickness of lesion skin in treatment group was significantly lower than that in control group (P < 0.05). Compared with the blank control group, the inflammatory factors IL-17, IL-22 and IL-23 in the B and C groups were significantly increased, and the inflammatory factors IL-17, IL-22 and IL-23 in the treatment group were significantly lower than those in the model group. The levels of serum C aspase-14, SOCS1 and STAT3 in three groups of mice were significantly different after treatment (P < 0.05). Compared with the blank control group, the levels of serum C aspase-14 and SOCS1 in B and C groups were significantly lower and the levels of STAT3 were significantly higher, and the levels of inflammatory factors aspase-14 and SO in treatment group were significantly higher than those in control group. The level of CS1 was significantly lower than that of model group, and the level of STAT3 was significantly higher than that of model group (P <0.05). Conclusion: Astragalus membranaceus injection can effectively improve the degree of psoriasis in Balb/c nude mice. Its possible mechanism is that it can decrease the expression of Caspase-14 and SOCS1, reduce the degree of keratosis in the lesion site of mice, improve the local surface hyperplasia, increase the level of STAT3 and enhance the level of local cell proliferation, which is of positive significance for the rehabilitation of psoriasis.展开更多
