Objective:To investigate the clinical characteristics, muscle pathological features and treatment in patients with Juvenile idiopathic inflammatory myopathy (JIIM) with positive anti-nuclear matrix protein 2 (NXP2) antibody.Methods:The clinical data of 8 IMM patients with positive anti-NXP2 antibody were collected and the clinical manifestations, auxiliary examinations, muscle pathological changes and therapeutic effects were retrospectively analyzed.Results:The ratio of male to female was 1:3. The median age of disease onset was (6.1±3.8) years. Eight cases had proximal muscle weakness, 7 had dermatomyositis-like rash, 5 had myalgia,4 had calcinosis,3 had skin ulcer, 2 had edema and 1 had abdominal pain. Five cases had elevated serum creatine kinase. Eight cases with lower limb muscle MRI showed abnormal signals in muscle, space between muscles and fat tissue, 3 cases with chest high-resolution CT (HRCT) showed interstitial lung disease. Abdominal CT of 1 case showed irregular thickening, edema and peripheral inflammatory exudation in ascending colon and proximal transverse colon. Pathological biopsy of skeletal muscle showed perifascicular atrophy, inflammatory cell infiltration in fascicular membrane and around small vessels and muscle fiber space. Edema, hyperplasia could be seen in interstitium; but dissolved necrosis, and regenerated muscle fibers were rarely seen. Treatments included glucocorticoids, immunosuppressive agents and biological agents (1 case). After 6 months of follow-up, 5 cases had good outcomes and 3 cases had poor outcomes.Conclusion:Dermatomyositis is the major clinical manifestation of idiopathic inflammatory myopathy with positive anti-NXP2 antibody.It is associated with myasthenia, calcinosis, skin ulcers and intestinal vasculitis. The pathological changes in skeletal muscle are relatively slightmild. Glucocorticoids combined with immunosuppressive agents are effective in most cases.

OBJECTIVE@#To retrospectively analyze clinical data of patients under 40 years old who underwent surgical treatment for renal tumors with tumor thrombus from January 2016 to December 2022 at Peking University Third Hospital, and to evaluate the surgical effect and investigate the relationship between clinicopathological characteristics and prognosis.@*METHODS@#The clinical data of 17 young patients with renal tumor thrombus were retrospectively analyzed, and the clinicopathological features and prognosis were summarized. The patients were grouped according to the presence or absence of symptoms, 2017 American Joint Committee on Cancer (AJCC) clinical stage, and postoperative combined adjuvant therapy. Kaplan-Meier method was used to plot the survival curve, and Log-rank test was used to compare the differences in postoperative survival time and progression-free survival time between the different groups. The relationship between clinicopathological features and prognosis was analyzed.@*RESULTS@#All the 17 patients received venous tumor thrombectomy, including 16 patients (94.1%) who underwent radical nephrectomy and 1 patient (5.9%) who underwent partial nephrectomy. Twelve patients (70.6%) had symptoms and 5 (29.4%) had no symptoms before operation. A total of 17 renal tumors were observed, with 2 patients (11.8%) identified as benign and 15 patients (88.2%) classified as malignant. Among the malignant tumors, 1 patient (6.7%) was diagnosed as clear cell carcinoma, while the remaining 14 patients (93.3%) were categorized as non-clear cell carcinoma. In terms of tumor stage, 8 patients (53.3%) were classified as stage Ⅲ according to the AJCC classification, while 7 patients (46.7%) were categorized as stage Ⅳ. Additionally, 6 patients (40%) received multiple adjuvant therapy, while 9 patients (60%) did not undergo such treatment. The follow-up period ranged from 2 to 78 months, with a median follow-up of 41 months. During this time, 3 patients (20%) died. The median survival time after surgery was 39.0 (2.3, 77.8) months, and the progression-free survival time was 16.4 (2.3, 77.8) months. There was no significant difference in postoperative survival time and progression-free survival time among young patients with renal tumor with tumor thrombus, based on the presence of symptoms before surgery (P=0.307, P=0.302), clinical stage of AJCC (P=0.340, P=0.492), and postoperative adjuvant therapy (P=0.459, P=0.253) group.@*CONCLUSION@#The pathological types of young patients with renal tumor with tumor thrombus are more complex and varied due to symptoms, and the proportion of non-clear cell carcinoma in malignant tumor with tumor thrombus is higher. Symptomatic and non-clear cell carcinoma may be potentially associated with poor prognosis. Surgical operation combined with adjuvant therapy is a relatively safe and effective treatment for young patients with renal tumor and tumor thrombus.

Objective:To explore the characteristics of postoperative hemodynamic changes in patients with early allograft dysfunction (EAD), and to provide clinical imaging support for the early diagnosis of EAD.Methods:A total of 907 patients who underwent liver transplantation in Tianjin First Central Hospital from December 2012 to June 2021 were retrospectively selected, and they were divided into EAD group (361 cases) and non-EAD group (546 cases) according to EAD diagnostic criteria. The peak systolic velocity(PSV) of the hepatic artery, end-diastolic velocity(EDV) of the hepatic artery, resistance index(RI), S/D(PSV/EDV), diameter of the portal vein(PVD), velocity of the portal vein(PVV), diameter of the middle hepatic vein(MHVD), velocity of the middle hepatic vein(MHVV), the diameter of the right hepatic vein(RHVD), and the velocity of the right hepatic vein (RHVV) were collected from 1 to 7 days after operation (a total of 5 573 ultrasound examination results), and the differences in ultrasound hemodynamic parameters were compared between the two groups. The correlation of S/D<2, PSV<25 cm/s, PVV<15 cm/s, MHVV or RHVV<15 cm/s within 3 days after operation with the occurence of EAO were analyzed by multivariate Logistic regression analysis.Results:①The PSV and EDV of the hepatic artery in the EAD group and the non-EAD group showed a slow upward trend at 1-7 days after operation, while the hepatic artery RI and PVV showed a downward trend, the MHVV and RHVV did not fluctuate significantly. ②The hepatic artery in the EAD group showed low-resistance blood flow in the early postoperative period, and the EDV were significantly higher than that in the non-EAD group on 1 d, 2 d, 3 d and 5 d, RI was significantly lower than that of the non-EAD group (all P<0.05); At 4 d, 6 d and 7 d, there was no significant differences of EDV and RI between the two groups(all P>0.05). The PSV of the EAD group was higher than that of the non-EAD group on 3 d ( P<0.05). Among the parameters of portal vein blood flow, the PVV in the EAD group was significantly higher than that in the non-EAD group on 1 d ( P<0.05), and there was no significant difference of PVD between the two groups at day 1-7. Among the parameters of hepatic venous blood flow, the MHVV and RHVV in the EAD group were significantly lower than those in the non-EAD group (all P<0.05), there was no significant difference between the two groups of MHVD and RHVD at 1-7 days. ③The incidence of grafted hepatic artery S/D<2 within 3 days after operation in EAD group was higher than that in non-EAD group. Binary Logistic regression multivariate analysis showed that the occurrence of grafted hepatic artery S/D<2 within 3 days after operation was significantly correlated with the occurrence of EAD[Exp(B)=1.878, P<0.05]. Conclusions:Patients who develop EAD after liver transplantation show low-resistance blood flow in the hepatic artery during the perioperative period, and the occurrence of hepatic artery S/D<2 within 3 days after operation can early predict the occurrence of EAD.

Objective:To explore the diagnostic efficacy of ultrasonography and follow-up outcomes of hepatic venous outflow obstruction after liver transplantation(LT)in children.Methods:From July 2017 to January 2022, 32 children diagnosed with outflow tract obstruction post-LT are designated as HVOO group and examined by digital subtraction angiography(DSA).All of them underwent balloon dilation.Thirty cases with no vascular complications are selected as control group.Color Doppler blood flow parameters are recorded, including peak systolic velocity(PSV), peak diastolic velocity(PDV), PSV/PDV(S/D), resistive index(RI), portal vein velocity(PVV), hepatic vein velocity(HVV), hepatic vein waveform, anastomotic velocity and waveform.Intravascular pressure values of DSA within 48h are recorded.The correlations between color Doppler flow parameters and intravascular pressure values are examined before and after tube expansion.The differences of color Doppler flow parameters before tube expansion between HVOO and control groups are compared.And receiver operating characteristic(ROC)curves are plotted for obtaining ultrasonic parameters' cut-off value.Patients with excellent recovery are selected for comparing the difference of color Doppler blood flow parameters before and after tube expansion and detect the trend of hemodynamics.Results:There is a positive correlation between anastomotic velocity of hepatic vein and inferior vena cava and DSA before and after tube expansion in HVOO group(r=0.483, 0.414, all P<0.05); S/D, RI and anastomotic velocity are higher in HVOO group than those in control group( Z=-3.275, P=0.001; t=3.437, P=0.001; Z=-5.677, P<0.01); PV and HVV are lower in HVOO group than those in control group( Z=-2.719, P=0.007; Z=-6.762, P<0.01); The waveforms of hepatic vein and anastomosis in HVOO group are mostly single-phase waves, accounting for 81.25%(26/32)and 53.12%(17/32).Control group is mostly of dual-phase wave.According to ROC curve analysis, area under curve(AUC)of HVV diagnosing HVOO is 0.996 with a critical value of 21.65 cm/s; AUC of hepatic vein anastomosis velocity is 0.92 with a critical value 162 cm/s and AUC of RI 0.76 with a critical value of 0.73.PVV and HVV values after tube expansion are higher than before tube expansion( Z=-2.233, P=0.026; Z=-4.45, P<0.01); Anastomotic velocity after tube expansion is lower than that before tube expansion( t=8.584, P<0.01).The waveforms of hepatic vein and anastomosis are mostly of single-phase waves(76.92%, 61.54%)before tube expansion and dual-phase wave(88.46%, 96.15%)after tube expansion. Conclusions:Color Doppler ultrasound is a preferred imaging modality for diagnosing HVOO and conducting postoperative follow-ups in children after LT because of its non-invasiveness, real-time, simplicity and rapidness.Furthermore, the diagnostic efficiencies of hepatic vein and anastomotic velocity are relatively high.
Résumé
Background@#Cervical cancer is still present a major public health problem, especially in developing countries. In International Federation of Gynaecology and Obstetrics 2018, allowing assessment of retroperitoneal lymph nodes by imaging and/or pathological findings and, if deemed metastatic, the case is designated as stage IIIC (with r and p notations). Patients with lymph node metastases have lower overall survival (OS), progression free survival (PFS), and survival after recurrence, especially those who have unresectable macroscopical positive lymph nodes. Retrospective analysis suggests that there may be a benefit to debulking macroscopic nodes that would be otherwise difficult to sterilize with standard doses of radiation therapy. However, there are no prospective study reporting that resecting macroscopic nodes before concurrent chemoradiation therapy (CCRT) would improve PFS or OS of cervical cancer and no guidelines for surgical resection of bulky lymph nodes. The CQGOG0103 study is a prospective, multicenter and randomized controlled trial (RCT) evaluating lymph node dissection on stage IIICr of cervical cancer. @*Methods@#Eligible patients are histologically confirmed cervical squamous cell carcinoma, adenocarcinoma, adeno-squamous cell carcinoma. Stage IIICr (confirmed by computed tomography [CT]/magnetic resonance imaging/positron emission tomography/CT) and the short diameter of image-positive lymph node ≥15 mm. 452 patients will be equally randomized to receive either CCRT (pelvic external-beam radiotherapy [EBRT]/extended-field EBRT + cisplatin [40 mg/m2] or carboplatin [the area under curve=2] every week for 5 cycles + brachytherapy) or open/minimally invasive pelvic and para-aortic lymph node dissection followed by CCRT. Randomization is stratified by status of para-aortic lymph node. The primary endpoint is PFS. Secondary endpoints are OS and surgical complications. A total of 452 patients will be enrolled from multiple hospitals in China within 4 years and followed up for 5 years.

In order to comprehensively evaluate the quality of Viticis Fructus, this study established HPLC fingerprints and evaluated the quality of 24 batches of Viticis Fructus samples from different species by similarity evaluation and multivariate statistical analysis(PCA, HCA, PLS-DA). On this basis, an HPLC method was established to compare the content differences of the main components, including casticin, agnuside, homoorientin, and p-hydroxybenzoic acid. The analysis was performed on the chromatographic column(Waters Symmetry C_(18)) with a gradient mobile phase of acetonitrile(A)-0.05% phosphoric acid solution(B) at the flow rate of 1 mL·min~(-1) and detection wavelength of 258 nm. The column temperature was 30 ℃ and the injection volume was 10 μL. The HPLC fingerprint of 24 batches of Viticis Fructus samples was established with 21 common peaks, and nine peaks were identified. Similarity analysis was carried out based on chromatographic data of 24 batches of chromatographic data of Viticis Fructus, and the results showed that except for DYMJ-16, the similarity of Vitex trifolia var. simplicifolia was ≥0.900, while that of V. trifolia was ≤0.864. In addition, the similarity analysis of two different species showed that the similarity of 16 batches of V. trifolia var. simplicifolia was 0.894-0.997 and that of the eight batches of V. trifolia was between 0.990 and 0.997. The results showed that the similarity of fingerprints of these two species was different, but the similarity between the same species was good. The results of the three multivariate statistical analyses were consistent, which could distinguish the two different species. The VIP analysis results of PLS-DA showed that casticin and agnuside contributed the most to the distinction. The content determination results showed that there was no significant difference in the content of homoorientin and p-hydroxybenzoic acid in Viticis Fructus from different species, but the content of casticin and agnuside was significantly different in different species(P<0.01). The content of casticin was higher in V. trifolia var. simplicifolia, while agnuside was higher in V. trifolia. The findings of this study show that there are differences in fingerprint similarity and component content of Viticis Fructus from different species, which can provide references for the in-depth study of the quality and clinical application of Viticis Fructus.

Objective: To investigate the normal process of tooth development of C57BL/6 mouse strain by using micro-CT for better understanding about the tooth development of the human being and other species. Methods: A total of 54 C57BL/6 mice were used at postnatal day 1 (P1), P3, P7, P10, P14, P21, P28, P42 and P56 (n=6 for each age group). After euthanasia, the skulls and alveolar bones (with molars) were isolated and scanned by micro-CT scanner. After three dimensional reconstruction, the developmental status of the crown and root(s) for each tooth type was examined in different views. Results: The tooth development of mice from birth to mature (P56) could be divided into three stages. The first stage was from P1 to P14, in which the crowns of all the first, second and third molars had formed, while the roots had not fully developed yet. The second stage was from ablactation (P21) to P28, in which all the roots of the molars had reached their normal length, and the apical foramens had closed. Due to the mastication and occlusal abrasion, the incisors exhibited sharp cutting edges at the buccal enamel layer, and the corresponding molars formed a pit-to-fossa articulated relationship. The third stage was from P42 to P56, in which the root canal differentiation occurred, and 1-2 canal configuration was formed in several flat roots. The development of molar roots had completed and the apexes were enlarged due to the deposition of cementum around. Conclusions: In the process of mouse tooth development, the mineralization of the cusps, followed by crown formation and roots elongation, was precisely regulated in a spatial-temporal pattern. The incisors and the molars exhibited different modes of development.

Résumé
The "toxicity" and safety of traditional Chinese medicines have been seriously concerned. Alkaloids are the main pharmacodynamic components of many kinds of traditional Chinese medicines, which show strong biological activity at low concentration. It will also cause toxic side effects but if used improperly. Some alkaloids are both active and toxic, and the safety of related traditional Chinese medicines is particularly noteworthy. The efficacy or toxicity of alkaloids may be the result of the combined action of parent compounds and metabolites, which is not only related to the structural types of compounds, but also has obvious species differences between humans and animals. This review focused on the alkaloids contained in the "toxic" traditional Chinese medicines that are officially recorded in Chinese Pharmacopoeia and the metabolism patterns of alkaloids with different structures as well as the enzymes involved were summarized and discussed by referencing the publications in recent two decades. The present study will be beneficial to the rational use of these traditional Chinese medicines in clinic.

Objective:To investigate the clinical value of micro-vascular flow(MV-flow)imaging in evaluating the difference of endometrial micro-flow vascularization index(ⅥMV)between recurrent spontaneous abortion and normal reproductive age women.Methods:From June 2022 to June 2023,87 patients with unexplained recurrent spontaneous abortion in West China Second University Hospital,Sichuan University were selected as the abortion group,including 51 patients with 2 miscarriages,26 patients with 3 miscarriages,and 10 patients with≥4 miscar-riages.In addition,90 normal women of childbearing age who did not have a history of miscarriage and visited our hospital during the same period were selected as the healthy group.Endometrial ⅥMV was measured by transvag-inal ultrasound using MV-flow imaging technology in mid-luteal phase of the two groups.The mean values of en-dometrial ⅥMV in 177 women was measured repeatedly within and between observers.The endometrial ⅥMVand clinical data were compared between the two groups.The differences of endometrial ⅥMV and clinical data in pa-tients with different miscarriage times in the abortion group were compared simultaneously.Results:There was no statistically significant difference in age,body mass index,follicle stimulating hormone and luteinizing hormone be-tween the healthy group and the abortion group(P>0.05).The ⅥMV of endometrium in healthy group was higher than that in abortion group,and the difference was statistically significant(6.10%vs.3.70%,P<0.05).In the abortion group,endometrial ⅥMV in patients with 2 miscarriages(5.30%)was higher than that in patients with 3(3.25%)miscarriages and≥ 4(3.30%)miscarriages,and the difference was statistically significant(P<0.05).There was no statistically significant difference in endometrial ⅥMV between patients with 3 miscarriages and ≥4 miscarriages(P>0.05).The intraobserver and interobserver correlation coefficients of endometrial ⅥMV were 0.978 and 0.945,respectively.Conclusions:MV-flow imaging technology can effectively evaluate the difference of endometrial ⅥMV between recurrent spontaneous abortion and normal childbearing age women,and endometri-al ⅥMV may decrease with the increase of miscarriage frequency.
Résumé
The incidence of spontaneous abortion (SAB) has been increasing year by year, and its etiology is complex, with limited treatment options, which poses a serious threat to social stability. The "disease-syndrome-therapy" research model can significantly improve the clinical efficacy of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) for preventing miscarriage, but there has always been a lack of key and recognized diagnostic and treatment evaluation markers, which need to be further explored to establish a scientific and unified evaluation standard system. It is proposed to collect existing "disease-syndrome-therapy" SAB animal models, transplant and improve the model evaluation indicators, evaluate the degree of match between SAB animal models and the clinical characteristics of TCM and Western medicine diseases and syndromes, and compare the advantages and disadvantages of different SAB animal models in terms of construction methods, target selection, and evaluation indicators. In addition, the frontiers of TCM experimental research will be explored. In view of the current status and related bottlenecks of molecular biomarkers research on SAB TCM animal models, a single-cell multimodal omics research strategy will be proposed to break through the related evaluation defects of the "disease-syndrome-therapy" SAB and analyze the differences in various cell types, cell subpopulations, spatiotemporal trajectories, and gene expression in the mother-fetal interface tissue at the single-cell level. This will provide accurate guidance and model animal platform support for the in-depth study of disease-syndrome models, Zang-fu biology, and novel targeted drugs. It will also provide a basis for establishing a stable and repeatable "disease-syndrome-therapy" SAB animal model and evaluation indicator system, which is beneficial for the long-term development of TCM reproductive animal model research.

Résumé
Objective:To investigate the correlation between Doppler ultrasound parameters and pressure gradient of portal vein in pediatric liver transplant patients, and to analyze the diagnostic value of Doppler ultrasound for portal vein stenosis.Methods:This retrospective study involved the data from 92 pediatric liver transplant patients in Tianjin First Central Hospital from June 2014 to September 2021, who underwent pressure gradient measurement. The collected ultrasonic parameters included the diameter and flow velocity of the native portal vein, the portal vein anastomosis, and the donor portal vein. The anastomotic stenosis rate=(the native portal vein diameter–the portal vein anastomosis diameter)/the native portal vein diameter, the velocity ratio=the portal vein anastomosis velocity /the native portal vein velocity, the velocity difference=the portal vein anastomosis velocity–the native portal vein velocity. According to the diagnostic standard of portal vein stenosis, pressure gradient more than 5 mmHg was the portal vein stenosis group, and the pressure gradient less than 5 mmHg was the non-stenosis group. The correlation and differences between ultrasonic parameters and pressure gradient were analyzed. ROC curve was used to evaluate the diagnostic efficiency of each parameter.Results:Firstly, there was a positive correlation between pressure gradient and the portal vein anastomosis velocity, the velocity difference and the velocity ratio ( r=0.521, 0.531, 0.417; all P<0.001). And there was a negative correlation between pressure gradient and the anastomotic diameter ( r=-0.284, P=0.004). Secondly, the portal vein anastomotic velocity, velocity difference and velocity ratio in stenosis group were significantly higher than those in non-stenosis group [135.5(111.0, 169.0)cm/s vs 103.7(72.9, 118.7)cm/s, (112.2±40.3)cm/s vs (67.9±30.5)cm/s, 5.56(3.73, 7.26) vs 3.85(2.78, 4.70); all P≤0.001]; Furthermore, by ROC curve analysis, the cut-off value, the area under the ROC curve, Jordan index, accuracy, sensitivity and specificity of each parameter for the diagnosis of portal vein stenosis were: the anastomotic velocity 124.5 cm/s, 0.814, 0.592, 80.0%, 65.5% and 93.7%; velocity ratio 5.67, 0.760, 0.488, 73.0%, 48.8% and 100%; velocity difference 107.25 cm/s, 0.797, 0.511, 76.0%, 51.9% and 100%. Conclusions:The anastomosis velocity, velocity difference and velocity ratio of portal vein in pediatric liver transplant patients are correlated with the pressure gradient, and there is higher accuracy and specificity of each parameter for diagnosing portal vein stenosis, but the sensitivity is slightly lower.

Objective:To obtain the normal reference range of ultrasound hemodynamic parameters after liver transplantation through big data query and statistical analysis, and to analyze its influencing factors.Methods:The clinical liver transplantation Ultrasound Image Database Software V1.0 developed by Tianjin First Center Hospital was used to query adult patients after liver transplantation from December 2012 to June 2021. The ultrasonic hemodynamic parameters including the diameter of portal vein (PVD), the flow velocity of portal vein (PVV), the peak flow velocity of hepatic artery (S), the end diastolic flow velocity of hepatic artery (D), the S/D of hepatic artery, the resistance index of hepatic artery (RI), the diameter of middle hepatic vein (MHVD), the flow velocity of middle hepatic vein (MHVV), the diameter of right hepatic vein (RHVD), the flow velocity of right hepatic vein (RHVV), in the first day (1D), the seventh day (7D), the first month (1M), the sixth month (6M), the first year (1Y), the fifth year (5Y) and the tenth year (10Y) after operation were analyzed statistically, and the 95% reference value range of each parameter was obtained.Results:A total of 1 740 patients with 12 242 monitoring results after adult liver transplantation were included, and the longest follow-up time was 22 years. There was no significant change in PVD. PVV decreased slightly from postoperative 1D to long-term follow-up. The S and D of hepatic artery were the highest in group 7D after liver transplantation, and then decreased gradually with the extension of postoperative time. Hepatic artery S/D was the lowest in group 7D after operation, with the extension of monitoring time after liver transplantation, it showed an upward trend, but fluctuated. Hepatic artery RI was the highest in postoperative 1D group, and fluctuated with the extension of monitoring time after liver transplantation. There was no significant change in MHVD and RHVD.MHVV and RHVV were the highest in group 7D after liver transplantation, with the extension of postoperative monitoring time, they showed a decreasing trend and fluctuated. The normal range of each parameter was estimated according to the range of 95% medical reference value. The influencing factors of blood flow monitoring of transplanted liver were analyzed, including the various factors in perioperative period, the surgery, the primary disease before operation, the source of donor, the postoperative infection, rejection, drug damage, individual differences and so on.Conclusions:This study obtains the trend of each parameter with the extension of follow-up time and the reference value range of each parameter after liver transplantation, which is of great clinical significance for early detection and diagnosis of postoperative vascular complications. However, the blood flow after adult liver transplantation is affected by many factors. In clinical monitoring, it is necessary to make judgment combined with the individual state of patients and conduct dynamic follow-up.

Objective:To investigate the role of Sestrin2 overexpression in regulating mitochondrial fission and its mechanism in human neuroblastoma SH-SY5Y cell model of glucose and oxygen deprivation/recovery (OGD/R). Methods:(1) SH-SY5Y cells were divided into normal control group, OGD/R group, Vector group, and Sestrin2 overexpression group; Sestrin2 overexpression or empty vector stable cell lines in the Sestrin2 overexpression group and Vector group were constructed by lentivirus infection; cells in the later 3 groups were subjected to oxygen-glucose deprivation (OGD) for 4 h followed by restoration of O 2 supply for 18 h. The cell survival rate was detected by cell counting kit (CCK)-8 assay. The protein levels of Sestrin2, dynamin-related protein 1 (Drp1), mitochondrial fission protein 1 (Fis1), B-cell lymphoma-2 (Bcl-2), Bcl-2-associated X protein (Bax), Kelch-like ECH-related protein 1 (Keap1) in the cytoplasm and nuclear factor E2-related factor (Nrf2) in the nucleus were detected by Western blotting. The mitochondria ultrastructure was observed by transmission electron microscope. The Nrf2 nuclear translocation was detected by immunofluorescence staining. (2) Cell lines with Sestrin2 overexpression were divided into Sestrin2 overexpression group, Brusatol+ Sestrin2 overexpression group, and DMSO+ Sestrin2 overexpression group. Cells in the Brusatol+ Sestrin2 overexpression group were pretreated with normal medium containing Brusatol (Keap1/Nrf2 pathway inhibitor, final concentration: 100 nmol/L) for 4 h before OGD/R; cells in the DMSO+ Sestrin2 group were pretreated with normal medium containing DMSO (final volume fraction: 0.1%) for 4 h before OGD/R. Cells in these groups were then subjected to OGD for 4 h followed by restoration of O 2 supply for 18 h. The protein levels of Drp1, Fis1, Keap1 in the cytoplasm, and Nrf2 in the nucleus were measured by Western blotting. Results:(1) As compared with those in the OGD/R group, cells in the Sestrin2 overexpression group had significantly increased survival rate (61.33%±1.15% vs. 81.00%±3.00%), significantly up-regulated Bcl-2/Bax ratio (0.467±0.006 vs. 0.880±0.010), significantly decreased Drp1, Fis1 and cytoplasmic Keap1 protein levels (1.089±0.033 vs. 0.865±0.014; 0.829±0.009 vs. 0.350±0.007; 0.967±0.017 vs. 0.881±0.024), and significantly up-regulated nuclear Nrf2 protein level (0.627±0.025 vs. 0.957±0.015, P<0.05). The mitochondrial structure in the Sestrin2 overexpression group under electron microscope was more complete than that in the OGD/R group, and obvious nuclear translocation of Nrf2 was noted. (2) As compared with the Sestrin2 overexpression group, Brusatol+ Sestrin2 overexpression group had significantly decreased nuclear Nrf2 protein level (0.920±0.013 vs. 0.627±0.035), and statistically increased Drp1 and Fis1 protein levels (0.994±0.020 vs. 1.084±0.005; 0.728±0.010 vs. 0.906±0.022, P<0.05). Conclusion:Sestrin2 overexpression could suppress mitochondrial fission, reduce cell apoptosis, and attenuate OGD/R injury of SH-SY5Y cells by activating Keap1/Nrf2 pathway via down-regulating cytoplasmic Keap1 protein level and promoting Nrf2 nuclear translocation.
