RESUMO
OBJECTIVE: To investigate the effect of TCP1 expression on the proliferation and the accumulation of intracellular drug of HL60/A and HL60 cells and its possible molecular mechanism. METHODS: Lentiviral transfection technology was used to construct HL60/A and HL60 cells with knocked down or overexpressed TCP1 and their control cells. The efficiency of knockdown and overexpression was evaluated by Western blot. The cell proliferation was detected by CCK-8 assay. The intracellular drug accumulation was detected by laser confocal detection and flow cytometry. The expression levels of MRP1, P-gP and p-AKT were evaluated by flow cytometry and Western blot. RESULTS: After TCP1 was knocked down,the proliferation ability of HL60/A cells was significantly reduced, the accumulation of intracellular drug was significantly increased and the expression of MRP1 and P-gP protein were decreased. After TCP1 was overexpressed, the proliferation ability of HL60 was significantly increased, the accumulation of intracellular drug was significantly decreased and the expression of MRP1 and P-gP protein were increased. Intervention of LY294002 significantly antagonized the promotion on cell proliferation, the inhibition on intracellular drug accumulation and the expression of MRP1 and P-gP mediated by TCP1 overexpressing in HL60 cells. CONCLUSION: TCP1 can promote cell proliferation, improve the expression of MRP1 and P-gP by activating PI3K/AKT signal, and reduce intracellular drug accumulation.

OBJECTIVE: To study the preventive effect of recombinant polypeptide of N-terminal heparin-binding domain of fibronectin on hepatic failure induced by endotoxin in mice. METHODS: The 40 hepatic failure Balb/C mice were established by intraperitoneal injection of lipopolysaccharide (LPS) and d-galactosamine (GalN). The mice were randomly divided into two groups, one for polypeptide treatment, the othe for saline treatment.Another 20 mice were used as normal control. Half hour prior to, 1, 2, and 3 hours after injection of LPS and GalN, the rhFNHN-29 polypeptide (10 mg/kg) was injected through the tail vein of mice. The same volume of saline was given to the saline treated group and the normal control group.Six hours after the injection of LPS and GalN, 250 microl blood was taken from the eye vein of each mouse for plasma TNFalpha testing, and 72 hours after the injection, mortality rates of the mice of different groups were observated. The liver, lung, heart, kidney, and brain tissues of the survival mice were examined for histopathology after 72 hours. The Liver tissue was also examined for electron micrograph and for mRNA expression of TNFalpha, IL-1beta, IL-6 by RT-PCR. RESULTS: The 72 hours mortality rates in saline-treated and polypeptide treated-mice were 70% and 15% respectively (P < 0.01). The histopathology showed that necrosis occurred less on the hepatocytes of polypeptide treated mice than on the saline treated ones. The ultrastructure of hepatocyte under the electron microscope showed that cell apparatus of saline treated mice were destroyed and cytoplasm become loose. The expression level of TNFalpha, IL-1beta, IL-6 mRNA on hepatocytes in polypeptide treated mice was significantly lower (1.26 +/- 0.37, 0.98 +/- 0.21, 0.43 +/- 0.17, 87.43 +/- 16.7 respectively) than that in the saline treated ones (1.98 +/- 0.56, 1.24 +/- 0.35, 0.64 +/- 0.25 and 236.11 +/- 32.7, respectively) (P < 0.01). Similarly, the plasm TNFalpha level (87.43 +/- 16.7) in polypeptide treated group was significantly lower than that (236.11 +/- 32.7) in the saline treated group (P < 0.01). CONCLUSION: The rhFNHN-29 polypeptide can prevent and treat hepatic failure induced by endotoxin. The mechanism by which the polypeptide takes the effect may involve its ability to down-regulate expression of those inflammation factors such as TNFalpha, IL-1beta, IL-6.

Two-photon fluorescence microscopy is a novel imaging technique, which is primarily sensitive to a specimen's response coming from an in-focus plane, thus has low photo-bleaching and photo-damage to biological samples. 5-ALA induced production of PpIX in DHL cells was excited by 820 nm femtosecond laser; two-photon excitation fluorescence of single cell was obtained in Lambda mode of laser scanning confocal microscope. The specific fluorescence intensity of PpIX which accumulated in DHL cells was measured at 2, 4 and 10 mmol x L(-1) concentration of 5-ALA with different incubation time, which reflected the kinetics of 5-ALA accumulated in DHL cells. Accumulation of PpIX in DHL cells was a dynamic change process. Biphasic alterations of PpIX accumulation were noted: PpIX content enhanced with the increasing time and reached the maximal value around 3 h, however PpIX content decreased in the subsequent incubation time. Results indicate that two-photon fluorescence based on laser scanning microscope can be a useful technology for studying the kinetics of 5-ALA induced PpIX production in DHL cells and other leukemia cells.
