OBJECTIVE To assess the profiles of elements in benzo[a]pyrene(BaP)induced carci-nogenesis,and explore the joint effects of copper with cisplatin or vinorelbine on cell proliferation.METHODS Forty-four elements were measured using an inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometer in 16HBE cells and BaP malignantly transformed 16HBE(T-16HBE-C1)cells.Partial least square was used to validate the robustness of cell classification of elements.Cell viability was measured by MTT assay for copper(0,237,340,487,1000 and 1432 μmol·L-1),cisplatin(0,4.4,6.1,8.6,12.0 and 16.8 μmol·L-1),and vinorelbine(0,3.8,9.8,25.0,40.0 and 64.0 μmol·L-1)to acquire their half maximal inhibitory concentra-tion(IC50).Mixtures of copper and chemotherapeutics were prepared according to the ratio of each IC50.Their joint effects on cell viability were assessed by MTT assay and isobolographic analysis.Inhibition effect of copper(0,50,100,200,400 and 800 μmol·L-1)with IC50 of cisplatin or vinorelbine on prolifera-tion of T-16HBE-C1 cells was also assessed.RESULTS A total of 29 elements were quantified in 16HBE and T-16HBE-C1 cells,among which concentrations of copper,zinc,silver,selenium and rubidium decreased(P<0.05,P<0.01),while those of molybdenum,arsenic,lithium,germanium,strontium,nickel,lanthanum,mercury,iron,and cesium increased(P<0.05,P<0.01)in T-16HBE-C1 cells.Element concen-tration could be used to distinguish T-16HBE-C1 cells from 16HBE cells.Copper concentration-dependently inhibited proliferation of both cells,with a statistically significant lower IC50 of(613±16)μmol·L-1 in 16HBE cells than(776±15)μmol·L-1 in T-16HBE-C1 cells(P<0.01).Mixtures of copper and cisplatin(1∶69.5)or vinorelbine(1∶33.4)could inhibit cell proliferation,and copper had additive effects with cisplatin or vinorelbine.When copper concentration was higher than 400 μmol·L-1,copper combined with IC50 of cisplatin or vinorelbine inhibited cell proliferation of T-16HBE-C1 cells compared with IC50 of cisplatin(11.2 μmol·L-1)or vinorelbine(23.2 μmol·L-1)alone.CONCLUSION Element profiles and correlations can change significantly after 16HBE cells are malignantly transformed by BaP.Copper could inhibit the proliferation of T-16HBE-C1 cells and have additive effects with cisplatin or vinorelbine in higher concentration.

Objective@#To investigate the role of lysosomes in manganese-induced toxicity in human neuroblastoma SK-N-SH cells.@*Methods@#SK-N-SH cells were treated with MnCl2 at doses of 0.062 5, 0.125, 0.25, 0.5, 1.0, 2.0 and 4.0 mmol/L for 24 h, and the cell viability was detected by MTT assay. Cells were treated with MnCl2 at doses of 0.125, 0.25, 0.5 and 1.0mmol/L for 24 h, and lysosomes labeled with lysotracker red were observed by laser confocal microscopy, the expression levels of LAMP1 and CTSD were detected by western blot, and CTSD activity was detected by Cathepsin D Activity Fluorometric Assay Kit.@*Results@#Compared with the control group, the survival rates of SK-N-SH cells were decreased significantly in the 0.5-4.0 mmol/L MnCl2 treatment groups (P<0.01) , the relative fluorescence intensities of 0.5 and 1.0 mmol/L MnCl2 treatment groups were increased (P<0.01) . Compared with the control group, the 0.125-0.5 mmol/L MnCl2 treatment groups had significant increase in the the expression of LAMP1 (P<0.01) . Compared with the control group, the expression of m-CTSD was significantly increased at the does of 0.125-0.25 mmol/L MnCl2, while it was decreased at the does of 1.0 mmol/L (P<0.01) . Otherwise, it wasn’t observed significant difference of the activity of CTSD between different MnCl2 treatment groups.@*Conclusion@#MnCl2 could cause cytotoxicity in SK-N-SH cells. Lysosomes may play a normal function at low doses of manganese, but they may be damaged at high doses of manganese. As an organelle that can degradate substrates in autophagy, lysosomes participate in the neurotoxic mechanism of manganese.

Objective@#To investigate the effect of manganese chloride (MnCl2) or 1-methyl-4-phenyl-1, 2, 3, 6-tetrahydropyridine (MPTP) on the neurobehavioral and histopathology in C57BL/6 mice and provide evidence for the diagnosis, treatment and prevention of manganism.@*Methods@#Adult male C57BL/6 mice were treated with MnCl2 and MPTP respectively by intraperitoneal injection at the doses of 5, 10, 20mg Mn/kg and 30mg MPTP/kg. Controls were injected equivalent normal saline. All animals were administrated 5 times a week for 4 consecutive weeks and sacrificed after behavior tests on the fifth week. Balance ability, anxiety and depression level and cognitive function were tested respectively by vertical pole test, open field locomotion test and Morris swim task. The neuron pathological changes of striatum and substantia nigra were examined through HE-staining pathological section by using optical microscope.@*Results@#Compared with the control group, the high dose of MnCl2 reduced body weight obviously (P<0.01) . The results of vertical pole test showed that MnCl2 and MPTP lengthened the pole-climbing time and turnaround time. Open field locomotion test showed that movement distance, stand-up time and central field time were decreased after the exposure of MnCl2 or MPTP. In the Morris swim task, the escape latency time increased and the target quadrant activity time decreased significantly after the injection of MPTP as well as high-dose MnCl2, comparing with controls (P<0.05) . Moreover, the escape latency time of high dose MnCl2 prolonged prominently comparing with MPTP grou (P<0.05) . The results of histopathology showed that acidophilic changes elevated in MnCl2 and MPTP group, comparing with controls. Furthermore, in striatum the oxyphil cells number increased in MnCl2 high-dose group comparing with MPTP group (P<0.01) . On the contrary, there were more oxyphil cells in MPTP group comparing with MnCl2 groups in substantia nigra (P<0.01) .@*Conclusion@#Both manganese and MPTP can induce the impairment of dopaminergic neural system, but the symptons and injured location of manganism are inconsistent with PD models induced by MPTP.
