Methods shRNA targeting LC3 gene and negative shRNA were designed and synthesized, pLKO.1-TRC-shRNA LC3 vector and negative vector were constructed. After amplification and identification, the recombinant lentivirus vectors were transfected into 293T cells with packaging and envelope plasmids. The supernatant of 293T ceils transfected with recombinant vector was collected, and Heap1-6 cells were transfected with plasmids, and treated with puromycin for ten days to acquire a cell line with stable expression of shRNA against mouse LC3. Western blot analysis was used to detect the expression level of LC3 Ⅱ, cleaved-caspase3, and caspase9 protein respectively. Apoptotic cells were measured by flow cytometry. Results We successfully constructed pLKO. 1-shLC3 lentivirus vector. Before treated by tunicamycin, the level of LC3 Ⅱ in the Heap1-6 shLC3 cells was decreased by 62.9 % compared with that in the WT Heap1-6 cells (P = 0.0001 ). After being treated by tunicamycin for 12 h, the level of LC3 Ⅱ in Heap1-6 shLC3 cells was decreased by 58.6 % compared with that in the WT Heapl-6 cells P = 0.0003 ). Compared with the control group (Heap1-6 cells transfected with negative shRNA vector), the level of cleaved-caspase3 and caspase9 in the shLC3 group was increased by 37.7 % and 37.1% respectively under tunicamycin for 12 h (P = 0.007, 0.023 ). And the level of the same two proteins in the shRNA group was elevated by 12.6 % and 14.3 % compared with those of Heap1-6 shctrl cells respectively (P = 0.040, 0.043). The ratio of apoptotic cells of the experiment group was increased by 22.8 % and 18.6 % compared with that of the control treated with ttmicamycin for 12 h and 24 h, respectively. Conclusion LC3 knockdown could promote apoptosis of mouse hepatocellular carcinoma Heap 1-6 cell line induced by tunicamycin.国家自然科学基金面上项目(81270431
糖尿病视网膜病变UWFA量化分析及其与糖尿病黄斑水肿的关联研究
目的量化糖尿病视网膜病变(DR)患者超广角荧光素眼底血管造影(UWFA)图像中不同视网膜区域的病灶参数,探讨其与中心凹受累的糖尿病黄斑水肿(CI-DME)的相关性。方法回顾性分析2022年6月至2024年6月于广东省人民医院初诊的76例DR患者(共101眼)在同一天拍摄的UWFA及光学相干断层扫描(OCT)图像。根据OCT测量的中央视网膜厚度(CST)将患眼分为CI-DME组与非CI-DME组。手动标注UWFA图像中微血管瘤、无灌注区、渗漏区、视盘和中心凹,量化计算黄斑区、后极部、中周部、周边部及全UWFA区域的微血管瘤计数、缺血指数和渗漏指数。比较两组病灶量化参数的差异,评估其与CI-DME的关联性及判别效能。结果CI-DME组患眼在黄斑区的微血管瘤计数、缺血指数和渗漏指数均显著高于非CI-DME组(P均<0.05)。而周边部这些病灶参数在CI-DME组和非CI-DME组中无显著差异(P均>0.05)。ROC曲线分析显示,渗漏指数对CI-DME的判别效能优于微血管瘤计数和缺血指数,其中黄斑区渗漏指数的区分能力最佳,AUC为0.80(95%CI:0.71,0.89)。结论本研究未发现UWFA周边部病灶参数与CI-DME显著关联,但黄斑区病灶参数(尤其是渗漏指数)与CI-DME的病理进程密切相关。因此,在DME患者的监测与治疗过程中,需关注黄斑区血管稳定性以优化DME管理策略

Methods Human luminal B breast cancer cells BT474 were infected with GFP and luciferase co-expressing lentiviruses and then subjected for selection with Puromycin for 2 weeks. The expression of GFP and luciferase was detected by fluorescent microscopy and IVIS Kinetic image system, respectively. The effect of coculture or treatment with conditioned medium of hUCMSCs on proliferation of BT474 was analyzed with MTS assay. Western blot was carried out to detect the effect of treatment with conditioned medium of hUC-MSCs on the activation of both Akt and MAPK signalings in BT474, as well as the expression of downstream cell cycle regulator Cyclin D1. Regular RT-PCR was applied to analyze the mRNAs expression of ligands such as NRG-1, NRG-2, IGF-Ⅰ, IGF-Ⅱ, and EGF in hUC-MSCs. The correlation between relative luciferase activity and cell number was analyzed with Excel software, while MTS assay data was statistically analyzed with SPSS 13.0 software. Results The co-expression of GFP and luciferase in BT474 via lentiviral expression system was visualized by fluorescent microscopy and IVIS Kinetic image system. The linear correlation between relative luciferase activity and cell number was determined by curve fitting analysis. Coculture or treatment with conditioned medium of hUC-MSC significantly promoted the proliferation of BT474, with survival rates being 148.06 %(P < 0.005)and 147.99 %(P < 0.001)of control, respectively. In addition, treatment with conditioned medium of hUC-MSC was shown to induce activation of both Akt and MAPK signalings, which further upregulated the expression of Cyclin D1. Moreover, high mRNAs expression levels of both NRG-1 and EGF, as well as moderate mRNAs expression levels NRG-2, IGF-Ⅰ, and IGF-Ⅱ were showed by RT-PCR. Conclusion Our results here demonstrated that MSCs may promote the proliferation of luminal B breast cancer cells through paracrine of ligands such as NRG-1, which in turn results in the activation of both Akt and MAPK signalings and upregulation of the expression of Cyclin D1.国家自然科学基金面上项目(81272922);; 福建省自然科学基金面上项目(2016J01577);; 福州总医院院内课题国际合作研究专项(2015G01
