OBJECTIVE: To investigate the types and proportion of gene mutations of thalassemia in Hakka people in Gannan Area of Jiangxi, and to provide some references for prevention and treatment of thalassemia major, genetic counseling and epidemiological studies. METHODS: 81 cases Hakka patients with severe thalassemia admitted treated in First Affiliated Hospital of Gannan Medical College from January 2009 to June 2019 were enrolled. The deletion type of α-thalassemia was detected by Gap-PCR. The point mutations of α-thalassemia and ß-thalassemia were detected by PCR-RDB. The thalassemia gene was detected and analyzed in the patients with anemia, and the frequency of gene mutation was calculated. RESULTS: Among 81 Hakka patients with thalassemia major, 4 ß-thalassemia (homozygote) genotypes were detected out, including: CD41-42ï¼TTCTï¼(19 cases), ß-IVS-II-654 (CâT) (9 cases), -28M (AâG) (1 case), CD17 (AâT) (1 case); 12 ß-thalassemithalassemia (heterozygote) genotypes were detected out, including: CD41-42(-TTCT)/ß-IVS-II-654(CâT) (15 cases, 29.41%), ß-IVS-II-654(CâT)/ß-28M(AâG) (13 casesï¼25.49%) ï¼ CD41-42(-TTCT)/ß-28M(AâG) (9 casesï¼17.65%); ß-IVS-II-654(CâT) /CD27/28(+C) (3 casesï¼ 5.88%) ï¼ CD41-42(-TTCT)/CD27/28(+C)(3 caseï¼5.88%)ï¼ß-28M(AâG)/CD17(AâT) (2 casesï¼3.92%)ï¼CD41-42(-TTCT)/CD17(AâT), CD41-42(-TTCT)/Βe, ß-IVS-II-654(CâT)/ß-29ãßCD17ï¼AâTï¼/CD71-72(+a), ßCD71-72/ß-28M(AâG), ß-28M(AâG) /ß-IVS-II-654(CâT)(1 casesï¼1.96%). There were 3 cases of ß homozygous thalassemia with α-thalassemia gene and 5 cases of ß heterozygotes thalassemia with α-thalassemia gene. CONCLUSION: The incidence rate of thalassemia in Hakka people in Gannan Area of Jiangxi is relatively high. The distribution of gene mutation types is as follows: the genotype of CD41-42 (-TTCT) is the main genotype of ß-thalassemia (homozygous); the major genotypes of ß- thalassemia (heterozygotes) are CD41-42 (-TTCT)/ß-IVS-II-654 (CâT) and ß-IVS-II-654 (CâT) /ß-28M (AâG); CD41-42 (-TTCT) gene is dominant in ß-complex α-thalassemia.

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the effects of different routes in placental mesenchymal stem cells (PMSC) on serum expression levels of IL-4, IL-17, TNF-α and IFN-γ in aplastic anemia (AA) rats. METHODS: The rat model of aplastic anemia (AA rats) was established by 5-fluorouracil combined with busulfan. The rats was divided into four groups: control, experimental, PMSC-injected into the tail vein, and PMSC-injected into the medullary cavity. The general state of rats in each group was observed in detail before and after treatment. The serum levels of interleukin-4 (IL-4) , interleukin-17 (IL-17), tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), interferon-γ (IFN-γ) were measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) at week 1, 3 and 5 after treatment. RESULTS: The serum levels of TNF-α, IFN-γ and IL-17 in the experimental group were significantly higher than those in the control group, while the level of IL-4 was significantly decreased (Pï¼0.05). The levels of TNF-α, IFN-γ and IL-17 gradually decreased after treatment while the level of IL-4 increased. By the fifth week, the above indexes were closed to the control group (Pï¼0.05), and the levels of TNF-α, IFN-γ and IL-17 in the group with PMSCs injected via the medullary cavity decrease more significantly than those group with PMSC injected via the tail vein, but level of IL-4 was not significantly different between two groups. CONCLUSION: The level of serum hematopoietic negative regulators increase significantly, and the level of hematopoietic promoting factors decreases significantly in aplastic anemia rats. PMSC can down-regulate the level of hematopoietic negative regulators and up-regulate the level of hematopoietic promoting factors in the rats with aplastic anemia, and the inhibition of hematopoietic negative regulators by intramedullary injection is more significant than that by caudal vein injection.

This study was purposed to observe the influence of umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells (UC-MSC) on the peripheral blood CD4(+)CD25(+)regulatory T cells (Treg), Th17 cells and neutrophils in rats with collagen type II-induced arthritis(CIA), and to explore the regulating effect of UC-MSC transplantation on immunocyte subgroup. The rats wee divided into 3 groups: CIA group (model group), UC-MSC treated group and blank control group. The CIA rats were injected with UC-MSC via tail vein. The percentage of CD4(+)CD25(+) cells in peripheral blood and the expression of NCD11b on neutrophil surface in CIA rates was detected by flow cytometry (FCM), and the serum interleukin-17 (IL-17) was observed by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). The results showed that the mean fluorescence intensity(MFI) of NCD11b and the level of IL-17 in the model group were significantly higher than those in the blank control group, and the ratio of CD4(+)CD25(+) cells were significantly lower (P < 0.05). The MIF of NCD11b and the level of IL-17 in the UC-MSC treated group were significantly lower than that in the model group (P < 0.05), while the proportion of CD4(+)CD25(+) Treg increased (P < 0.05). Since the fifth week, the above indicators in the UC-MSC group have almostly approached the control group. It is concluded that the UC-MSC can increase peripheral blood Treg proportion in CIA rat, inhibit the secretion of Th17 and the activity of neutrophils, reduce the immune inflammation reaction, decrease the release of proinflammatory factor, and induce immune reconstruction.

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the immunoregulation effects of umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells (UC-MSCs) on the rats with collagen II induced arthritis (CIA). METHODS: The rats were first immunized by intradermal injection of chicken collagen type II emulsified with complete Freund's adjuvant (CFA) to monitor their swelling of foot, hair color and action state. After injected UC-MSC by caudal vein, the rats were scored with the arthritis index (AI) once a week. Then, the concentration of interleukin (IL-6), tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) in serum and D-dimer (D-D), antithrombin-III (AT-III), thrombomodulin (TM) in plasma were detected by ELISA. RESULTS: Obvious swellings of the feet were found in the experiment group compared with normal one. ELISA analysis showed that the concentrations of IL-6, TNF-α, D-D and TM in plasma of the experiment group as of (200.48 ± 15.04) ng/L, (450.25 ± 45.39) ng/L, (274.26 ± 67.93) ng/L and (9.18 ± 0.84) µg/L, respectively were higher than of(167.62 ± 0.97) ng/L, (371.44 ± 21.26) ng/L, (193.95 ± 8.22) ng/L and (6.30 ± 0.32) µg/L respectively in normal group (P < 0.05), but the concentration of AT-III \[(89.57 ± 6.40) ng/L\] was lower than normal group \[(112.82 ± 1.74) ng/L\] (P < 0.05). The levels of cytokines through the UC-MSCs treatment were significantly different from the model group (P < 0.05). After 9 weeks, these cytokines in the UC-MSCs group were mostly the same as the normal group. CONCLUSION: The thrombophilia status of the CIA rats was caused by immune injury. The UC-MSCs reduced the production of inflammatory cytokines and regulated and repaired the balance of coagulation and anticoagulation system of the body to cure the immune-related thrombophilia.

Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is an autoimmune disease caused by abnormal immune regulation and excessive production of autoantibodies, which characterized by T and B cell dysfunction and excessive production of pathological cytokines and autoantibodies. Vascular endothelia and subendothelial collagen were injured by harmful antibodies, so that the body was in a thrombophilic state, increasing the multi-system and multi-organ damage of body. Mesenchymal stem cells (MSC) are as multipotent cells, capable of multilineage differentiation, self-renewal, homing, inflammatory chemotaxis, immune regulation and reconstruction. To date, MSC are known to affect not only T cells, but also other cells of the immune system. MSC can inhibit or promote B cell proliferation, suppress NK cell activation and modulate the cytokine secretion profile of dendritic cells and macrophages. Thus decreasing the secretion of harmful cytokines and autoantibodies, can ease the thrombosis-prone state of the body, reducing the incidence of thrombosis. In addition, MSC are able to differentiate into various types of tissue cells, such as hematopoietic cells, endothelial cells, liver cells, nerve cells, bone cells, cartilage cells etc, therefore, MSC can repair the damaged tissues and organs. In this article, the advance of studies on immune regulation and repair mechanisms of MSC on incident thrombosis in SLE is reviewed.
