RESUMEN
Ferroptosis is a form of programmed cell death driven by iron-dependent lipid peroxidation and is closely associated with a wide range of biological processes, such as aging, immunity, and cancer. Tumor multidrug resistance, especially resistance to apoptosis, has prompted the urgent search for a new antitumor treatment option. Remarkable progress has been made in the study of the role of ferroptosis in antitumor, especially the interaction with immune cells. Studying immunotherapy based on ferroptosis pathways has become a new direction in antitumor research. In this work, we review the role of ferroptosis in immune cells and antitumor immunotherapy to provide new ideas for ferroptosis-mediated antitumor immunotherapy.
RESUMEN
The purpose of the present study was to investigate the effects of salidroside (Sal) on lung injury in lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced endotoxemic in vitro and in vivo. SD rats were randomly divided into five groups: control group, LPS group (15 mg kg-1), LPS plus dexamethasone (2 mg kg-1), and LPS plus Sal groups with different Sal doses (20 mg kg-1, 40 mg kg-1). Wet-to-dry weight (W/D) ratio was performed. Hematoxylin-eosin (HE) staining of lung was performed. Lung level of myeloperoxidase (MPO) was measured. Serum levels of the activities of the anti-oxidant superoxide dismutase (SOD), glutathione peroxidase (GSH-px), glutathione (GSH), tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), interleukin-6 (IL-6), and interleukin-1ß (IL-1ß) were measured. Caveolin-1 and TLR/NF-κB pathway proteins were detected by Western blot. In vitro, we evaluated the protective effect of Sal on A549 cell line induced by LPS. The activities of the antioxidant SOD, CAT, GSH and GPX, TNF-α, IL-6, and IL-1ß in cellular supernatant were measured. Caveolin-1 and TLR/NF-κB pathway was examined by Western blot. As a result, Sal significantly attenuated the above indices. In addition, Sal exerts pronounced protective effects in rats subjected to LPS possibly through inhibiting the caveolin-1 and TLR/NF-κB pathway in vivo. Our results indicated that Sal could be a potential therapeutic agent for the treatment of lung injury disease.

OBJECTIVE:To establish a method for determining plasma concentrations of tanshinone ⅡA and use it for pharma-cokinetics study of tanshinone ⅡA in Beagle dogs. METHODS:HPLC was performed on the column of Phenomenex Luna C18, with the mobile phase of water(5 mmol/L of ammonium acetate+0.05% H3PO4)-acetonitrile at flow rate of 1.0 ml/min;the detec-tion wavelength was 270 nm,column temperature was 40 ℃ and the volume was 20 μl. 9 Beagle dogs were randomly divided into tanshinone ⅡA low,medium and high dose groups(2,4 and 8 mg/kg),blood was respectively taken from forelimb venous blood to determine the plasma concentration before and after 2,5,10,15,20,30,45,60,75,90 and 120 min of iv administration. DAS 2.0 software was used to calculate the pharmacokinetic parameters. RESULTS:The linear range of tanshinoneⅡA was 0.097 5-12.50 μg/ml (r=0.999 8);the RSDs of precision and stability tests were all less than 10%;the method recovery was 100.4%-107.2%,and extraction recovery was 90.2%-92.3%. The t1/2αin tanshinoneⅡA low,medium and high dose groups were respective-ly(1.01±0.27),(1.03±0.46)and(1.51±0.65)min;t1/2β were respectively(16.25±4.78),(22.42±9.32)and(24.45±12.02) min;AUC0-120 min were respectively(150.88±45.25),(305.44±92.55)and(643.67±178.27)μg·min/ml;and CL were respective-ly(12.01±4.36),(12.78±5.06)and(12.17±5.41)ml/(min·kg). CONCLUSIONS:The precision,stability and recovery of the method are all in line with the determination requirements of biological samples,and tanshinone ⅡA showed a good linear relation-ship with dose in Beagle dogs in AUC0-120 min.
RESUMEN
In this study, we evaluated the development potential of caprine mammary gland epithelial cells (CMGECs) after transfection and nuclear transfer into enucleated, ovulated oocytes. We first isolated CMGECs from udders of lactating goats which were transfected with expression plasmid for human lacterrin and selected by G418. Then we chose sixteen neomycin resistant lines and induced them with prolactin for the expression of human lactoferrin checked by Western blotting. The donor cells, expressing human lactoferrin of 75 kD, were fused and activated with enucleated ovulated oocytes. Pronuclear-stage reconstructed embryos were transferred into the oviducts of 16 recipient goats. There were fourteen (87.5%), thirteen (81.3%), and ten (62.5%) pregnancies confirmed pregnant by ultrasound on Day 30, 60, and 90, respectively. Three recipients carried the pregnancies to term and delivered one goat each. Nested PCR-RFLP analysis confirmed that all of the kids were clones of the donor cells. These results demonstrated that CMGECs after transfection remain totipotent for nuclear transfer.
