Objective To observe the proapoptotic effect ofthe homogenate of different parts of pig’s full thickness dermal wounds on cultured fibroblasts. Methods The tissues were dissected from the wound center and subneoepithelium separately 15 days after homogenization and sterilization, the specimens stored at -70℃. The forth passage of the fibroblasts were cultured for 16 hours in different culture solutions and were grouped into 7 groups: DMEM containing 5% fetal bovine serum as Group Ⅰ, DMEM containing 5% homogenate of tissue from wound center as GroupⅡ, DMEM containing 5% homogenate of tissue from subneoepithelium as Group Ⅲ, the culture solution of Group Ⅱmixed with 10 μg/ml GM6001 in Group Ⅳ, with the culturing medium of Group Ⅲplus 10 μg/ml GM6001 as Group Ⅴ, the culture solution of Group Ⅱ mixed with 10 ng/ml aFGF as Group Ⅵ, and the culture solution of Group Ⅲ mixed with 10 ng/ml aFGF as Group Ⅶ. In all groups except Group Ⅰ, the fibroblasts of the 6 pigs were treated with the homogenate derived from the same animal respectively. After being incubated in Annexin Ⅴ-FITC and PI, cells were analyzed by Flow Cytometry and the rate of apoptotic cells was acquired. The data were analyzed by SPSS 11.0 using Leastsignificant Difference test(LSD). Results The apoptotic rate of the 7 groups were as follows:4.39%±0.41% in Group Ⅰ,10.98%±1.42% in Group Ⅱ,13.47%±1.44% in Group Ⅲ,7.2%±0.46% in Group Ⅳ,12.1%±0.85% in Group Ⅴ,3.9%±0.63% in Group Ⅵ,9.8%±0.50% in Group Ⅶ; there were significant differences between every two groups except Group Ⅰand Group Ⅵ. Conclusion Homogenate of the tissue derived from the subneoepithelium has greater proapoptotic effect than that from the wound center; the proapoptotic effect of homogenate of the tissue both under neoepithelium and in wound center can be significantly alleviated by acid fibroblast growth factor, partly because of MMPs.
Objective To observe the proportion changes of CD4+CD25+FOXP3+ T cells in peripheral blood of patients with VogtKoyanagiHarada disease (VKH) before and after one month of treatment. Methods he peripheral blood samples from 15 patients with VKH disease before and after one month of treatment by glucocorticoid, and from 15 healthy volunteers were collected,and lymphocytes were separated from them. CD4+CD25+ regulatory T cells were labeled by antibodies of cell surface marker CD4、CD25 and transcription factor FOXP3. The proportion of CD4+CD25+FOXP3+ T cells were detected by flow cytometry. Results Before the treatment, the percentage of CD4+CD25+FOXP3+ T cells in periphery blood was(0.30plusmn;0.19)% of CD4+ cell in VKH patients, and(1.41plusmn;0.52)% in control group, the difference was statistically significant(t=7.665,Plt;0.01); after one month of treatment, the VKH patients group was(1.28plusmn;0.54)% which close to the control group. However there were two patients whose CD4+CD25+ T cells increased extraordinarily after one month of treatment. Conclusions The proportion of CD4+CD25+ FOCP3+ T cells in periphery blood in VKH patients were lower than control group obviously before treatment, but were close to control group after treatment. Those results indicated that VKH diseases may be associated with the decreased proportion of CD4+CD25+ regulatory T cells.
Objective To evaluate the prognostic and pathobiologic significance of DNA content. Methods DNA content was conducted on 140 hepatocellular carcinoma patients by flow cytometry. Cancer recurrence was followed up after the patients were discharged. The statistical software used was SPSS. Results DNA ploidy did not correlate with clinicobiologic features, except with the age of the patients (P<0.05), tumor size and AFP level (P<0.01). The mean following up time of the patients with diploid was 31.2 months. The recurrence rate was 23.1%. In aneuploid group the mean following up time was 22.6 months. The recurrence rate was 50.0%. Ploidy correlated significantly with recurrence rate, the recurrence rate for patients with aneuploid were significantly higher than for those of diploid (P=0.013), also the recurrence rate of aneuploid within one year (37.9%) was much higher than that of diploid (4.3%) P=0.002. In a Logistic multivariate analysis of DNA content, the grade of cirrhosis severity and the tumor size were considered to be independent factors that related with recurrence. Conclusion FCM DNA analysis of radically resected HCC is a simple and valid method to predict the recurrence.
【Abstract】ObjectiveTo find a stable and efficient method for ex vivo concentration of CD4+CD25+ regulatory T cells in rats. MethodsCD4+CD25+ regulatory T cells were separated from the rat splenic cells in two steps by magnetic cell sorting (MACS) system. CD4+ T cells were first negatively sorted by cocktail antibodies and antiIgG magnetic microbeads. And then CD4+CD 25+T cells were positively sorted by antiCD25 PE and antiPE magnetic microbeads. The purity and the cell survival rate of the sorted cells were measured by flow cytometry and trypan blue dyeing respectively, and the immunosuppressive action of CD4+CD25+ T cells on the proliferation of CD4+CD25- T cells was also assessed by in vitro cell proliferation assay. ResultsThe purity of negatively sorted CD4+ T cells were (83.6±2.5)% (79%~87%), and the purity of positively sorted CD4+CD25+ T cells was (90.2±1.8)% (86%~93%) with the survival rate of (92.8±3.4)% (92%~95%). These concentrated cells significantly suppressed the proliferation of CD4+CD25- T cells in mixed lymphocyte culture (CD25+/CD25- versus CD25-, P<0.01). ConclusionWe created a twostep procedure of magnetic cell sorting system for CD4+CD25+ regulatory T cells sorting, which insures the cells to be satisfactorily purified and well functioned.
Objective To investigate the effect of peritoneal exudative cells as feeder cells on growth state of primary culture of adult rat retinal Muuml;ller cells. Methods Peritoneal exudative cells were gained from adult rats, which were identified with specifically biological marker of macrophage (CD68). The phagocytosis was evaluated by the ink particles experiment. Retinal Muuml;ller cells of adult rats were cultured by enzyme digestion method, and identified by GFAP and vimentin immunocytochemically. As the feeder cells, peritoneal exudative cells were cocultured with Muuml;ller cells. The proliferation cycle of Muuml;ller cells was assayed by flow cytometry. One-step TUNEL staining was employed to detect the apoptotic Muuml;ller cells. Results Over ninety-five percent of rat peritoneal exudative cells were macrophage, which have a favourable phagocytic ability for the ink particles. The primary cultured Muuml;ller cells adhered to the wall of flask and grew fast, with large applanate cell bodies. The third-generation cells grew slowly. After cocultured with feeder cells, the Muuml;ller cells showed more rapid growth rate with more cells in S and G2/M phase(S phase, t=4.172, Plt;0.001; G2/M phase, t=3.562, Plt;0.01) and less apoptotic rate (t=3.804, Plt;0.01). The growing cycle was cut down from 25-30 days to 1822 days for the firstgeneration cells, from 10-15 days to 7-10 days for the second-generation cells. Conclusion It is an effective method to use the peritoneal exudative cells as feeder cells cocultured with primary culture of retinal Muuml;ller cells, which can shorten the culture period of Muuml;ller cells in adult rats.
Human SW480 colonic cancer cell line was evaluated for its growth response to Octa peptide somatostatin (SMS 201·995, SMS) in vitro by MTT assay and flow cytometry. The results showed that SMS possessed an inhibitive effect on SW480 cell at dose 1.563-200ng/ml, the maximal effective dose was 50ng/ml. Inhibitive effect of SMS did not steadily increase at a dose >50ng/ml. It suggests that effect of SMS is achieved via somatotatin receptor. SMS obviously inhibited the synthesis of DNA and protein, and prohibited the SW480 cell shifting from phase G0/G1 in phase S, G2M, which suggests that somatostatin (SS) possessed an inhibitive effect on large intestinal at cancer cell, it is achieved at receptor by inhibiting the synthesis of DNA and protein and prohibiting cell cycle of cancer.
The human wild-type Rb cDNA has been inserted into a retrovirus vector DOL and introduced into the human breast cancer cell MDAMB468,which has a large deletion of exons 3-27 of Rb genes,by electroporation transfection techniques.The exogenous Rb gene expresses the 110kd Rb protein.The morphology of the transfected cells is similar to that of the parent MDAMB468 cells.With the expression of Rb protein,the growth rate of MDAMB468 cells decreases by about 50%,and the colony formation ability in soft agaris repressed completely.After injection of 3times;106Rb+ cells and Rb-MDAMB468 cells into nude mice,the tumors formed from 106Rb+ cells are smaller than those from Rb-cells.The cell population of G1 and S phase of Rb+ MDAMB468 cells increases and the proliferation quotient decreases by about 50%.This result supports the former report the Rb protein.

Human SW480 colonic cancer cell line was evaluated for its growth response to pentagastrin, gastrin receptor antagonist proglumide (PGL) in vitro by MTT assay and flow cytometry. The results showed that gastrin possessed a proliferative effect on SW480 cell, PGL alone had no obvious effect on SW480 cell, but it inhibited gastrin-induced growth of SW480 cell with dosage dependent when it was used with gastrin, its inhibitive effect did not steadly increase at a dose>32μg/ml. This suggests that effect of gastrin is achieved via gastrin receptor. Gastrin promoted the sythesis of DNA, protein and triggered the cancer cell shifting from phase G0/G1 to phase S, G2M. PLG inhibited the effect of gastrin, it suggests that gastrin possessed a proliferation on SW480 cell at post receptor is achieved by the effect of gastrin on cell cycle.
Objective To investigate the value of a 4-color and 10-antibody flow cytometry immunophenotyping panel using 10 antibodies including CD45, CD38, CD19, CD56, CD20, CD5, CD10, human leukocyte antigen-DR (HLA-DR), κ antibody and λ antibody marked by four kinds of fluorescein including R-phycoerythrin (PE), fluorescein isothiocyanate (FITC), peridinin chlorophy Ⅱ protein (PerCP) and allophycocyanin (APC) in the diagnosis of multiple myeloma (MM). Methods A 4-color and 10-antibody flow cytometry immunophenotyping panel which used CD45dim/-/CD38high as gating strategy supplemented by CD19, CD56, CD20, CD10, CD5, HLA-DR, κ antibody and λ antibody was used to test the bone marrow (BM) specimens of 45 MM patients treated between December 2013 and March 2015. Then by morphological examination, we analyzed the quantitative results and characteristics of myeloma cells. Results In all the 45 MM patients, the myeloma cell detection rate was 100% by flow cytometry. The proportion range of myeloma cells in BM was between 1.17% and 72.31%, which showed a good consistency with the results of 7.5%-90.0% detected by morphological examination. The positive expression rates of antigen on myeloma cells were: 100.00% for CD38, 11.11% for CD45, 2.22% for CD19, 73.33% for CD56, 17.78% for CD20, 42.22% for HLA-DR, and 0% for CD10 and CD5. About 64.44% of the MM patients were restricted cytoplasmic λ light chain typing, and 35.56% were restricted cytoplasmic κ light chain typing. There was no obvious phenotype difference among the 3 Durie-Salmon stages of MM (P>0.05). The expression of CD56 was different among different immunoglobulin types of MM, and the types of immunoglobulin with an expression from high to low were non-secretory, IgA, IgG, and light chain (P<0.05). Conclusion The 4-color and 10-antibody flow cytometry immunophenotyping panel using 10 antibodies including CD45, CD38, CD19, CD56, CD20, CD5, CD10, HLA-DR, κ antibody and λ antibody marked by four kinds of fluorescein including PE, FITC, PerCP and APC has a good diagnostic value for MM.
Objective To clarify the relationship between inhibition of proliferation and cxpression of Ki-67 in cultured human retinal pigment epithelial(RPE) cells. Methods The cultured human RPE cells were treated with daunoblastina at a dose of 180 mu;g/L for 12h.Twenty-four hours later,DNA inhibiting rate was studied by using tritium-labelled thymidine deoxyribose(3H-TdR)incorporation assay.The expression of Ki-67 was evaluated by immunocytochemical staining technique and image analysis system.Flow cytometry was used to analyse cell cycle. Results DNA inhibiting rate was directly proportional to the dosage of daunoblastina.The proportion of the cells positive staining to Ki-67 in the control and the daunoblastina-treated group were 89.3% and 45.6%(Plt;0. 01),and the integral optical density values for expression of Ki-67 in the two groups were 68.1plusmn;6.2 and 27.3plusmn;5.5(Plt;0.01),respectively.The percen tage of cells in G2 phase of cell cycle increased from 8.9% to 29.5%. Conclusion G2 block was induced and poliferation was inhibited by daunoblastina in cultured human RPE cells.There is a relatively good correlation between Ki-67 immunostaining and inhibition of RPE cell proliferation.
