RESUMEN
Objective To investigate the mechanism by which Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide(NADH)regu-lates anti-tuberculosis drug-induced liver injury and apoptosis in mice through SIRT1/Nrf2 pathway.Methods Twenty-four six-week-old SPF male mice were randomly divided into four groups according to body weight,ADLI group[90 mg/(kg·d)Isoniazid,135 mg/(kg·d)Rifampicin,315 mg/(kg·d)Pyrazinamide were given by gavage],control group[thesame volume of saline was given by gavage as antituberculosis drug-induced liver injury(ADLI)group],NADH group(30 mg/kg NADH wasgiven by gavage on the basis of control group)and NADH intervention group(30 mg/kg NADH wasgiven by gavage on the basis of ADLI group),with sixmice in each group.They were gavaged continuously for seven days,and their seruand liver tissues were collected.The mRNA and protein expression of silence information regulator 1(SIRT1),nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2(Nrf2)in SIRT1/Nrf2 pathway,apoptosis indicators B-cell lymphoma-2(Bcl-2),Bcl-2-associated X protein(Bax)and caspase-3 were detected by qRT-PCR and Western blot,respectively.HE staining was performed to observe the morphology of liver tissue.The liver was weighedandthe liver index was obtained by dividingweight by body weight.The levels of glutamate aminotransferase(ALT),aspartate aminotransferase(AST)and lactate dehydrogenase(LDH),which are indicators of liver injury,were detected by microplate method.Results Compared with control group,the protein and mRNA expression of SIRT1,Nrf2decreased significantly in ADLI group.Liver tissue struc-ture wasdisturbed,hepatocytes were obviously swollen,and their boundary was unclear.The weight of mice de-creased,but liver index increased.The mRNA and protein expression level of anti-apoptotic factor Bcl-2 decreased,while that of Bax and caspase-3 was raised.The level of ALT,AST and LDH were also elevated.The differences a-bove were statistically significant(P＜0.05).Compared with ADLI group,the protein and mRNA expression of SIRT1,Nrf2 were higher after NADH intervention.Liver tissue structure became clear,and hepatocytes were po-lygonal.The protein and mRNA expression of anti-apoptosis factor Bcl-2 was elevated and while that of Bax and caspase-3 was lower.The weight of mice increased and liver index decreased.The expression of ALT,AST and LDH decreased.The differences above were statistically significant(P＜0.05).Conclusion NADH may allevi-ate anti-tuberculosis drug-induced liver injury and apoptosis in mice by regulating SIRT1/Nrf2 pathway.
RESUMEN
Objective To evaluate the analysis capability of urine protein qualitative test between AX-4030 and Cobas U411 u-rine dry chemistry analyzer,and study on evaluating the performance of qualitative test.Methods According to Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute(CLSI)EP12-A2 document,analyzed the bias and imprecision of urineprotein qualitative test between the Aution MAX AX-4030 and Roche CobasU411 system.Their C50 ,C5 ~C95 intervals and imprecision curves were compared.The protein of 310 specimens were simultaneously determined by both Cobas U411 and AX-4030,in order to eval-uate their concordance.Results C50 for AX-4030 system was less than that for Cobas U411;C5 ~C95 interval of AX-4030 system was narrower than CobasU411.The imprecision curve of AX-4030 system was steeper than Cobas U411.The com-parison of the two analysis systems showed that the concordance was 96.8%,the positive concordance was 82.7%,and the negative concordance was 99.6%.The 95% credibility interval (CI)was 94.2%~98.16% and the Kappa value was 0.88. Conclusion For the sensitivity and imprecision of urine protein test in the C50 critical value,the AX-4030 system was better than Cobas U411.The concordance of them in determining clinical specimens was pole-strength.The evaluation recommen-ded by the EP12-A2 document is practical and effective.
RESUMEN
Objective To investigate the changes of microRNA (miR)-146a ,miR-29b expression levels and the 3 kinds of meth-ylase DNMT1 ,DNMT3a and DNMT3b levels in K562 cell lines after BCR/ABL inhibitor Gleevec treatment .Methods The half maximal inhibitory concentration(IC50 ) of Gleevec on K562 cells was detected by the MTT method .The stem loop primers method and the fluorogenic quantitative PCR were adopted to detect miRNAs and the methylase gene level .Results IC50 of Gleevec acting on K562 cells was 40 .85μmol/L .After Gleevec action ,miR-29b showed the increasing trend ,but 3 kinds of methylase expression level were decreased to some extent .Gleevec could significantly increase the miR-146a level in K562 cells(P<0 .05) .Conclusion Gleevec can influence the expression of miR-146a ,miR-29b and DNMTs levels in K562 cells .
