OBJECTIVE@#To construct cytarabine-resistant acute myeloid leukemia (AML) cell lines, and explore the correlation between Sirt1, PGC-1α expression levels and drug resistance.@*METHODS@#Human acute promyelocytic leukemia Kasumi-1 cells were induced by the method of gradually increasing the concentration of Ara-C drug. The IC50 value of Kasumi-1 cells before and after drug addition was detected by CCK-8 method, so as to construct Ara-C resistant cell lines. The expression levels of Sirt1 and PGC-1α mRNA in Kasumi-1 drug-resistant cell lines and their parental cell lines were detected by real-time fluorescence quantitative PCR, and the expression levels of Sirt1 and PGC-1α protein in kasumi-1 drug-resistant cell lines and their parental cell lines were detected by Western blot.@*RESULTS@#The constructed Kasumi-1 cell line had common morphological characteristics of drug-resistant cell lines under microscope, and the drug resistance index was greater than 5, indicating that Kasumi-1 drug-resistant cells had good drug resistance after the construction. The RT-qPCR and Western blot assays showed that the expression levels of Sirt1 and PGC-1α mRNA and protein in the drug-resistant cell lines were higher than those of the parental cell lines (P<0.001).@*CONCLUSION@#AML cell lines resistant to Ara-C can be successfully induced by the method of gradually increasing the concentration, and the co-high expression of Sirt1 and PGC-1α may mediate the drug resistance of AML cells.

<p><b>BACKGROUND</b>Hypertrophic scar is one of the most common complications and often causes the disfigurement or deformity in burn or trauma patients. Therapeutic methods on hypertrophic scar treatment have limitations due to the poor understanding of mechanisms of hypertrophic scar formation. To throw light on the molecular mechanism of hypertrophic scar formation will definitely improve the outcome of the treatment. This study aimed to illustrate the negative role of eukaryotic initiation factor 6 (eIF6) in the process of human hypertrophic scar formation, and provide a possible indicator of hypertrophic scar treatment and a potential target molecule for hypertrophic scar.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>In the present study, we investigated the protein expression of eIF6 in the human hypertrophic scar of different periods by immunohistochemistry and Western blot analysis.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>In the hypertrophic scar tissue, eIF6 expression was significantly decreased and absent in the basal layer of epidermis in the early period, and increased slowly and began to appear in the basal layer of epidermis by the scar formation time.</p><p><b>CONCLUSIONS</b>This study confirmed that eIF6 expression was significantly related to the development of hypertrophic scar, and the eIF6 may be a target molecule for hypertrophic scar control or could be an indicator of the outcomes for other treatment modalities.</p>

<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To study effects of P311 on the migration of epidermal stem cells (ESCs) in mice with superficial partial-thickness burn and injured cell model in vitro and to explore the mechanism.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>(1) Eighteen male C(57) BL/6 mice were used. Fifteen of them were inflicted with superficial partial-thickness burn on the back. In three injured mice wound tissue and skin of wound edge were obtained at post burn hour (PBH) 6, 12, 24, 48, 72 respectively. The rest three mice were used as normal control, and samples were harvested with the same method as above. The expressions of P311 in harvested samples were assessed with biotin-streptavidin-peroxidase (SP) staining. (2) Six newly born C(57) BL/6 mice were intraperitoneally injected with 50 µg/g BrdU (two times a day) for three days for ESCs-labelling. Seven weeks later, the mice were inflicted with superficial partial-thickness burn on the back. Serial slices of burn wound tissue were prepared at PBH 72 and immunohistochemically stained with SP for observation of the co-localization of BrdU-positive ESCs and P311-positive cells. (3) The empty vector pAdEasy-enhanced green fluorescence protein (EGFP) and the adenovirus P311-expressing vector named pAdEasy-EGFP-P311 were constructed and packed. Human ESCs were isolated by the method of rapid adhesion to collagen IV. After being divided into P311 high-expressing group (n = 3) and EGFP control group (n = 3), the ESCs in two groups were respectively infected by pAdEasy-EGFP-P311 and pAdEasy-EGFP. Scratching assay was performed on ESCs in both groups after they were treated by mitomycin C for 2 hours. The remaining area within the fixed range was measured at post scratching hour (PSH) 0, 24, 48, and 72, and the wound-area healing rate was calculated. Data were processed with independent samples t test.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>(1) Expression amount of P311 was different in different parts of wound at different time points after burn. Expression amount of P311 in the newly formed epidermis and hair follicle of wound increased along with prolongation of time. Expression amount of P311 in the epidermis and hair follicle of wound edge peaked at PBH 12 and then decreased to normal levels at PBH 72. (2) Co-localization of BrdU-positive ESCs and P311-positive cells was observed in the new epidermal layer of wound tissue of mice, where ESCs were labeled by BrdU. (3) At PSH 48 and 72, wound-area healing rate was obviously higher in P311 high-expressing group [(69 ± 31)%, (89 ± 26)%] than in EGFP control group [(35 ± 12)%, (46 ± 31)%, with t values respectively -2.336, -2.611, P values all below 0.05].</p><p><b>CONCLUSIONS</b>P311 may promote the migration of ESCs both in rats with superficial partial-thickness burns and in injured cell model in vitro, and it may play an important role in wound healing.</p>

<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To observe the effect of nitric oxide (NO) on adhesion, proliferation, and migration of human epidermal stem cells (ESC) in vitro.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>ESC were isolated and cultured by the modified method of rapid attachment to type IV collagen. (1) Morphology of cells was observed under inverted phase-contrast microscope. Expression levels of integrin β(1) and cytokeratin 19 (CK19) of cells were determined by Western blotting and immunofluorescence staining. (2) After being treated with scratching, ESC adhered to the wall was respectively treated with nitric oxide (NO) donor S-nitroso-N-acetylpenicillamine (SNAP) in the concentration of 1, 10, 100, 500 µmol/L. ESC without treatment of SNAP was used as control. The migration rate of ESC was detected at post scratching hour (PSH) 12 and 24. The chemotaxis of ESC (treated with SNAP in above-mentioned concentration) was tested by Transwell assay, and the transferred cell number was counted. (3) ESC was respectively treated with SNAP in the concentration of 10, 100, 500 µmol/L for 1 h. ESC without treatment of SNAP was used as control. The adhesion of ESC was detected with adhesion test, and the inhibition rate of adhesion was calculated. The proliferation of ESC (denoted as absorbance value) was determined by microplate reader at post-treatment hour (PTH) 0, 12, 24, 48. Data were processed with one-way analysis of variance and Dunnett t test.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>(1) Small clone formed on post culture days (PCD) 5 to 9. On PCD 10 to 14, cell proliferation sped up. CK19 and integrin β(1) were detected to be expressed in the isolated cells. The cells were identified as ESC. (2) Compared with that of ESC without treatment of SNAP [(35.7 ± 0.3)%, (45.7 ± 5.0)%], migration of ESC treated with SNAP in the concentration from 1 to 100 µmol/L was promoted at PSH 12 and 24. Migration rates of ESC treated with 100 µmol/L SNAP were the highest [respectively (48.8 ± 2.7)%, (82.1 ± 15.8)%, with t value respectively 8.34, 5.10, P values both below 0.01]. The number of ESC transferred to membrane after being treated with 100 µmol/L SNAP was significantly larger than that of ESC without treatment of SNAP (t = 9.24, P = 0.00). (3) Absorbance values of ESC treated with 100, 500 µmol/L SNAP were obviously higher than that of ESC without treatment of SNAP (with t value respectively 4.30, 4.67, P values both equal to 0.00). Proliferation of ESC treated with 100, 500 µmol/L SNAP was obviously stronger than that of cells without treatment of SNAP at PTH 24, 48 (with t values from 2.84 to 8.17, P values all below 0.05).</p><p><b>CONCLUSIONS</b>Exogenous NO in suitable concentration can promote the migration of human ESC. Exogenous NO can inhibit the adhesion and promote the proliferation of human ESC in vitro.</p>
