Objective:To explore the balance of peripheral blood T helper 17 cells/regulatory T cell(Th17/Treg)ratio and the polarization ratio of M1 and M2 macrophages in lower extremity arteriosclerosis obliterans(ASO).Methods:...Objective:To explore the balance of peripheral blood T helper 17 cells/regulatory T cell(Th17/Treg)ratio and the polarization ratio of M1 and M2 macrophages in lower extremity arteriosclerosis obliterans(ASO).Methods:A rat model of lower extremity ASO was established,and blood samples from patients with lower extremity ASO before and after surgery were obtained.ELISA was used to detect interleukin 6(IL-6),IL-10,and IL-17.Real-time RCR and Western blot analyses were used to detect Foxp3,IL-6,IL-10,and IL-17 expression.Moreover,flow cytometry was applied to detect the Th17/Treg ratio and M1/M2 ratio.Results:Compared with the control group,the iliac artery wall of ASO rats showed significant hyperplasia,and the concentrations of cholesterol and triglyceride were significantly increased(P<0.01),indicating the successful establishment of ASO.Moreover,the levels of IL-6 and IL-17 in ASO rats were pronouncedly increased(P<0.05),while the IL-10 level was significantly decreased(P<0.05).In addition to increased IL-6 and IL-17 levels,the mRNA and protein levels of Foxp3 and IL-10 in ASO rats were significantly decreased compared with the control group.The Th17/Treg and M1/M2 ratios in the ASO group were markedly increased(P<0.05).These alternations were also observed in ASO patients.After endovascular surgery(such as percutaneous transluminal angioplasty and arterial stenting),all these changes were significantly improved(P<0.05).Conclusions:The Th17/Treg and M1/M2 ratios were significantly increased in ASO,and surgery can effectively improve the balance of Th17/Treg,and reduce the ratio of M1/M2,and the expression of inflammatory factors.展开更多

METHODS： Forty male SD rats were divided randomly into five groups. A model of partial warm ischemia/ reperfusion injury in the rat liver was established. KCs were isolated and incubated one hour, six hours, 12 h, and 24 h after the reperfusion. Tumor necrosis factor alpha （TNF-α） and interleukin-lbeta （IL-1β） in the supernatants were measured by ELISA. MIP-1α in KCs was detected by immunocytochemical and RT-PCR. RESULTS： No or few MIP-1α protein and mRNA were expressed in the KCs of the control group. Its expression in the IRI group had a significant increase after the reperfusion （P 〈 0.05）, which was contrary to the control group. CONCLUSION： The active behavior of the MIP-1α gene in KCs following liver ischemia/reperfusion injury is assumed to be one of the major causes for the hepatic ischemia/reperfusion injury.展开更多

Materials and Methods: This study comprised 41 cirrhotic patients with ascites. MPV, PDW and MIP-1β were measured in serum and ascitic fluid. Results: A significant increase MPV, PDW, C-reactive Protein (CRP) and white blood cell was observed in SBP group compared to non SBP (P ≤ 0.001, P = 0 β was significantly in-creased in ascitic fluid in patients with SBP versus non SBP (P ≤ 0.001). At cutoff value of 8.3 fl MPV had 85.7% sensitivity and 75% specificity (AUC = 0.876) for diagnosis of SBP. At cutoff value of 15.4 PDW had 90.4% sensitivity and 55% specificity (AUC = 0.762). At cutoff value of 121.9 pg/ml MIP-1β in ascitic fluid had 76.1% sensitivity and 100% specificity (AUC = 0.881) for detecting SBP. Conclusion: MIP-1β and platelet indices are useful marker in the diagnosis of SBP in cirrhotic patients. Combined measurement of MIP-1β in serum and ascitic fluid had 100% sensitivity and specificity for diagnosis of SBP.展开更多

The chemotactic activity of MIP-1α was tested by micropore filter method using modified Boyden chambers. Cell ELISA showed that the expression of MIP-1α protein in endothelial cells exposed to 1 μmol/L, 5 μmol/L and 10 μmol/L diamide was 1.9-fold, 2.3-fold and 1.7-fold respectively as much as that in the control cells, which was statistically significant by analysis of variance. In situ hybridization revealed that the mRNA expression of ECs treated with 1 μmol/L, 5 μmol/L and 10 μmol/L diamide was 1 3-fold, 3.0-fold and 1.7-fold as much as that in the control group, which had statistical significance ( F =188.93, P <0.01). The mRNA expression in 5 μmol/L dimide treated ECs, measured by nuclease S1 protection assay, was 3.4-fold as much as that in the control group( t =8 70, P <0 05). Chemotactic response(99.50±4.31 μm) to the culture medium conditioned by 5 μmol/L diamide treated ECs , which was stronger than that(66.47±3.25 μm) conditioned by the ECs ( F =404.31, P <0.05), was significantly decreased ( F =192.25, P <0.05) after adding MIP-1α antibody. It suggests that diamide, a lipid peroxidation inducer, could stimulate ECs to produce high level of MIP-1α, and might play an important role in atherogenesis by promoting the migration of peripheral blood monocytes into arterial intima.展开更多

Methods After THP 1/PMA macrophages were transfected with ABCA1 antisense oligonucleotides （100nmol/L） followed by treatment with Ox-LDL （30mg/L）, the expressions of ABCA1, ICAM-1 and MCP-1 mRNA and protein were determined by real-time fluorescent quantitative RT-PCR, Western blot or ELISA. Results Ox-LDL induced expressions of ABCA1, ICAM-1, and MCP-1 at both mRNA and protein levels from THPI/PMA macrophages. Transfection with ABCAI antisense oligonucleotides reduced ABCA1 mRNA levels after 3 and 6 hours and protein levels after 12 and 24 hours. The expression of ICAM-1 and MCP-1 induced by Ox-LDL was also decreased after inhibition of ABCA 1 protein expression by ABCA 1 antisense oligonucleotide decreased. Conclusion The induction of macrophage inflammatory cytokines by Ox-LDL is partially dependent on expression ofABCA1.
