  • Evaluated on Expression of Endothelin-3 mRNA Detected by RT-PCR in Acute Pancreatitis Rats

    Objective To investigate the relationship between gene expression of endothelin-3 (ET-3) and inflammation of acute pancreatitis (AP) in rats. Methods Fifty-four rats were divided randomly into 4 groups: sham operation group, AP group, arterial injection group and vein injection group. AP was induced by reverse intra-bile duct infusion 4.5% sodium taurocholate, treated with low dose dopamine 〔5 μg/(kg·min)〕 by injecting arterial or tail vein. Rats were sacrificed at 1, 6 and 24 h after the induction of AP. The mRNA expression of ET-3 was evaluated by semi-quantitative reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) and pathological changes was observed in rats. Results Expression of ET-3 mRNA could be detected from 1 up to 24 h after the induction of pancreatitis. Expression of ET-3 mRNA of sham operation group was decreased significantly compared with other three groups. Expression of ET-3 mRNA showed a significant decrease by arterial injection dopamine than that by tail vein (P<0.05, P<0.01). The pathologic score in AP group was the highest, vein injection group was the next one, and score in sham operation group was the lowest. Conclusion There are significant relationship between inflammation of AP and expression of ET-3 mRNA. Dopamine administration by arterial injection is more effective than that by tail vein injection.

  • Effects of Nerotransmitters on the Proliferation of Human Hepatocytes

    Objective To explore the effects and mechanism of autonomic nervous control on the proliferation of human hepatocytes. And to examine the cellular localization of some related receptors expression in human hepatocytes. MethodsNorepinephrine (NE), and its agonist, antagonist, acetylcholine (Ach), and its antagonist have been added to human hepatocyte line L02 and hepatoma cell line Bel7402. Modified MTT assay was employed to test the effects of them on the proliferation of the two cell lines at 4 h, 24 h, 48 h and 72 h. Immuocytochemical staining was used to examine the cellular localization of alpha1Badrenoceptor (α1BAR), β2AR and epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) expression in human hepatocyte line L02. ResultsNE potentiated the proliferation of human hepatocyte and hepatoma cell, which was enhanced significantly with dose increased. The proliferative rate of 4 h were higher than that of the other time points (P<0.05). There were no significant differences between the group of NE combined with propanolol and the group of NE alone. Metaproterenol had no significant effect. Ach significantly inhibited the proliferation of human hepatocyte. Its effect was enhanced with dose increased. Atropine significantly attenuated the inhibitory effect of Ach at 24 h and 48 h (P<0.05). Scoline alone inhibited hepatocyte proliferation at 24 h, 48 h and 72 h (P<0.05, P<0.01). In immunocytochemical staining, there were positive responses to α1BAR, β2AR and EGFR in all cultures. It was observed that the responses to α1BAR, β2AR and EGFR were mainly both cytoplasmic and cell membrane localized. Conclusion NE, the sympathetic neurotransmitter, acts via α1BAR potentiate the proliferation of human hepatocyte and hepatoma cell in the presence of serum. Ach, the vagus neurotransmitter acting via mAchR and nAchR inhibits hepatocyte proliferation.

  • Experimental Study on Gut Mucosal CellMediated Immunity after Major Hepatectomy and Its Relation to Bacteria Translocation in Rats

    ObjectiveTo investigate the change of cellmediated immunity in gut mucosa after major hepatectomy and to study its relationship with the bacteria translocation.MethodsFortyeight Spraguedawley adult male rats were randomly allocated into two groups, the sham operation group and the operation group. Besides without the hepatectomy, the sham operation group has the same course with the operation group. Seventy percent hepatectomy rats are divided as postoperative 6 h group (n=6),12 h group (n=6),24 h group (n=6) and 72 h group (n=6). Sixhour, 12hour, 24hour and 72hour after operation specimens were taken from jejunoileum respectively. Immunohistochemical staining was performed on frozen sections and image pattern analysis was used. We also investigate the change of liver function. ResultsTwentyfour hours and 72 hours after 70% hepatectomy, there was a significant reduction in the number of CD3+,CD4+and CD8+ T lymphocytes in the mucosal lamina propria of the operation group compared with the sham operation group (Plt;0.05). There was significant difference between these two groups in liver function change (Plt;0.05).ConclusionThere is an altered pattern of intestinal mucosal T lymphocytes after major hepatectomy, then the local cellmediated immunity was depressed, which may be the cause of translocation of enteric bacteria.

  • An Observation of the Protective Effects of SAdenosylLMethionine on Liver Function in Cirrhotic Rats after Hepatectomy

    ObjectiveTo investigate the protective effect of SadenosylLmethionine on liver regeneration and liver function in cirrhotic rats after hepatectomy. MethodsCirrhosis was successfully induced by injection of 40% CCl4.Then,partial hepatectomy (about 30%) was performed in all rats. Cirrhotic rats were divided into 3 groups,namely,cirrhotic group (normal saline 5 ml/d,for 15 postoperative days,n=20),treatment group 1 〔S adenosylLmethionine 10 mg/(kg·d),for 15 postoperative days,n=16〕 and treatment group 2 〔SadenosylL methionine 20 mg/(kg·d),15 postoperative days,n=16〕,and normal control group was also established. Animals were sacrificed at the 15th postoperative day and 30th postoperative day to take samples for detection of liver function (Alb,ALT,TB,TBA) and serum TNFα.Liver tissues were also observed under light microscope and electron microscope. ResultsIn two treatment groups,at the time point (15 postoperative days or 30 postoperative days),concentrations of ALT,TB,TBA,Alb and TNFα were decreased significantly as compared with cirrhotic group (P <0.01),and concentration of Alb was increased significantly (P<0.01).In contrast, there were no obvious difference in the same time point of different dosetreatment groups (Pgt;0.05),but the decrease of ALT,TB,TBA,TNFα and the increase of Alb were more significant at the second time point (30th postoperative day) than the first time point (15th postoperative day) when treated with same dose (P<0.01).At the same time,concentration between TNF α and ALT,TB,TBA showed a positive correlation (P<0.01),and the concentration between TNFα and Alb showed a negative correlation (P<0.01).In addition, the histopathology showed SadenosylLmethionine had effects of protecting liver function and enhancing liver regeneration. ConclusionThe study suggests that SadenosylL methionine has the efficacy of enhancing liver regeneration and improving liver function.

  • An Investigation of the Relationship Between Peripheral T Cell Apoptosis and Specific Immune Tolerance Induced by T Cell Vaccination

    ObjectiveTo investigate the relationship between peripheral T cell apoptosis and specific immune tolerance induced by T cell vaccination(TCV). MethodsT cell vaccinations were made from the spleen cells of SD rats, which were induced by ConA and were challenged with the spleen cells of Wistar rats. Normal SD rats were vaccinated intraperitoneally with TCV (experimental group) or RPMI 1640 culture buffer (control group) respectively .Oneway mixed lymphocyte reaction (MLR) were performed,the apoptosis of peripheral T cell were assayed using flow cytometric analysis before and after vaccination.ResultsIn experimental group, the result of MLR showed that the response captivity of SD rat spleen cells were suppressed significantly after vaccination in comparison with prevaccination (Plt;0.01) and the percentage of peripheral T cell apoptosis was increased significantly after vaccination compared with prevaccination (Plt;0.01); In control group, there was no significant difference between prevaccination and postvaccination about MLR and peripheral T cell apoptosis. ConclusionT cell vaccination is capable of inducing Agspecific immune tolerance, the T cell apoptosis of peripheral blood induced by T cell vaccination may result in the depletion of Agspecific reactive T cells, which is vital in inducing specific immune tolerance.

  • Angiostatin Gene Combined with Somatostatin in Growth Inhibition of Human Pancreatic Cancer in Vitro

    Objective To investigate the effect of angiostatin gene combined with somastatin on inhibiting proliferation of human pancreatic cancer cell BXPC-3 and endothelial cell of vascular ECV-304 and on inducing their apoptosis in vitro. Methods The pcDNA3/angio was transfected BXPC-3 by liposome-mediated gene transfer method. RT-PCR and Western blot were used to detect the expression of angiostatin gene. In vitro, MTT and flow cytometry (FCM) were used to detect whether angiostatin gene combined with somastatin could effect the growth inhibition of BXPC-3 and ECV-304 cells. Results Angiostatin was expressed and secreted by transfected BXPC-3. The growth of BXPC-3 was inhibited by certain concentration of somatostatin (≥10 μg/ml, P<0.01), which was dependent on the dose of somatostatin in a concentration extent; Simultaneity apoptosis was induced (P<0.01). But the growth of ECV-304 was not inhibited with somatostation (Pgt;0.05). Angiostatin could inhibit the growth of ECV-304 and induced apoptosis (P<0.01), but it had no effect on the growth of BXPC-3 (Pgt;0.05). Angiostation gene combined with somatostation could inhibit the growth both of BXPC-3 and ECV-304 (P<0.01), and induce apoptosis of them (P<0.01); but the effect couldn’t be additived. Conclusions ①Somatostatin directly inhibits the proliferation of human pancreatic cancer cells and induces apoptosis, but it doesn’t directly inhibit angiogenesiso of human pancreatic cancer. ②Angiostatin specially inhibits the proliferation of endothelial cell of vascular and induces apoptosis. Angiostatin could inhibit angiogenesis of human pancreatic cancer to induce necrosis of cancer cell.
