@#Objective To investigate the effect of aloperine(ALO)on interleukin-1β(IL-1β)-induced chondrocyte injury and its mechanism. Methods Chondrocytes were randomly divided into control(Con)group,IL-1 β group,IL-1β + ALO-L(25 mg/L)group,IL-1β + ALO-M(50 mg/L)group and IL-1 β + ALO-H(100 mg/L)group;Con group,IL-1βgroup,IL-1β + miR-NC group and IL-1β + miR-16-5p group;Con group,IL-1β group,IL-1β + si-NC group and IL-1β + siSOX5 group. Cells in IL-1β group were treated with 10 ng/mL IL-1β,while no treatment was given in Con group. The transcription levels of miR-16-5p and SOX5 mRNA in chondrocytes were detected by qRT-PCR;The contents of IL-6,TNF-αand IL-1β were detected by ELISA;The expression levels of Bcl-2,Bax and SOX5 protein were detected by Western blot and the apoptosis was detected by flow cytometry. Results Compared with IL-1 β group,the contents of IL-6,TNF-α and IL-1βin IL-1β + ALO-L group,IL-1β + ALO-M group and IL-1β + ALO-H group decreased significantly(t = 5. 002~20. 653,each P < 0. 001),the apoptosis rate decreased significantly(t = 5. 473~17. 371,each P < 0. 001),the expression level of Bcl-2 protein increased significantly(t = 7. 800~16. 100,each P < 0. 001),and the expression level of Bax protein decreased significantly(t = 4. 993~14. 311,each P < 0. 001);The mRNA transcription level of miR-16-5p gene increased significantly(t = 6. 688~16. 545,each P < 0. 001),while the mRNA transcription level and protein expression level of SOX5 gene decreased significantly(t = 4. 609~15. 393,each P < 0. 001). Compared with the IL-1β + miR-NC group,the mRNA transcription level of miR-16-5p in the IL-1β + miR-16-5p group increased significantly(t = 17. 106,P < 0. 001),the contents of IL-6,TNF-α and IL-1 β decreased significantly(t = 15. 030~20. 013,each P < 0. 001),the apoptosis rate decreased significantly(t = 12. 273,P < 0. 001),the expression level of Bcl-2 protein increased significantly(t = 15. 652,P < 0. 001),and the expression level of Bax protein decreased significantly(t = 12. 999,P < 0. 001). Compared with IL-1β +si-NC group,the expression level of SOX5(t = 13. 444,P < 0. 001),IL-6,TNF-α and IL-1β in IL-1β + si-SOX5 group decreased significantly(t = 14. 087~17. 103,each P < 0. 001),the apoptosis rate decreased significantly(t = 11. 991,P < 0. 001),the expression level of Bcl-2 protein increased significantly(t = 13. 864,P < 0. 001),and the expression level of Bax protein decreased significantly(t = 11. 818,P < 0. 001). Conclusion Alo inhibited the apoptosis of chondrocytes induced by IL-1β,thus reducing the injury of chondrocytes,of which the mechanism might be regulating the expression of miR-16-5p and SOX5 and the secretion of inflammatory factors in chondrocytes.

Objective@#To investigate the regulatory mechanism of long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) 53106 in the apoptosis model of MIN6 cells stimulated by cytokines.@*Methods@#The stimulation model of cytokines 10 ng/ml interleukin-1β, 50 ng/ml tumor necrosis factor-α, 50 ng/ml interferon-γ in MIN6 islet cell lines were established. The apoptosis rate was measured by flow cytometry and the expression levels of lncRNA53106 and (C-X-C motif) ligand (CXCL)10 were detected by realtime quantitative PCR (qPCR). LncRNA53106 smart silencer and CXCL10 siRNA were constructed, and lncRNA53106 and CXCL10 were knocked down respectively. Then inflammatory cytokines were combined to stimulate, and their roles in the apoptosis of min6 cells were detected by flow cytometry, qPCR, and Western blotting.@*Results@#In the apoptosis model of MIN6 cells stimulated by cytokines, the apoptosis rate of cytokines group was significantly increased and reached statistical significance. The apoptosis rate of the knocked down lncRNA53106 group was significantly lower than that of the control group (P<0.05). The expression of CXCL10 was also decreased in the knockdown group by qPCR and Western blotting, the expressions of the apoptosis-related factors Bax and Caspase3 mRNA were decreased. The apoptosis rate in the knocked down CXCL10 group was significantly lower than that in the control group (P<0.05), and the expression of lncRNA53106 was slightly increased, but the difference was not significant (P=0.61).@*Conclusion@#LncRNA53106 may promote the expression of apoptosis factor by upregulation of CXCL10, and promote the apoptosis of β cells of the pancreas, which may lead to the occurrence of type 1 diabetes.

Objective To determine the hematological and serum biochemical parameters of 50 healthy African green monkeys,and to analyze the difference of these values between different groups of sex and age(the juvenile group:1- 3 years old,the adult group: 4 - 6 years old). Methods Blood samples were obtained from the monkeys in the awake state,and the hematological and serum biochemical parameters of the samples were measured using an automatic blood cell analyzer and blood biochemical analyzer, respectively. Results Among all of the hematologic values, the number of red blood cells(RBC), the amount of hemoglobin(HGB), hematocrit(HCT), and percentages of the neutrophils(NEUT%),lymphocytes(LYMPH%), monocytes(MONO%)and basophils(BASO%)were significantly different between the juvenile group and the adult group(P < 0.05). In the juvenile group, parameters such as the number of the white blood cells(WBC),RBC,HGB,HCT,NEUT%,LYMPH%,MONO% were significantly different between the female and the male monkeys(P < 0.05). As for the adult group, the HCT value was of significant difference,while the other indexes were not significantly different between the female and male monkeys(P < 0.05). Among the serum biochemical values, the quantities of albumin(ALB), aspartate aminotransferase(AST), alkaline phosphatase(ALP)and creatinine(CREA)were significantly different between the juvenile group and adult group(P <0.05). The amount of CREA of the juvenile females was significantly different from that of the juvenile males(P <0.05),and the values of total protein(TP)and cholesterol(CHOL)of the adult females were significantly different from those of the adult males(P < 0.05), while the other indexes were not significantly different. Conclusions As a reference,the routine biological data of African green monkeys we have established in this study lay a foundation for the evaluation of their biological properties and further application in related studies.
