Objective To investigate the effects of cerium oxide (CeO2) nanoparticles on the viabilities of nerve cells PC12 and SH-SY5Y. Methods CeO2 nanoparticles were synthesized, structures were characterized and properties were evaluated. PC12 cells and SH-SY5Y cells were treated with CeO2 nanoparticles at different concentrations (1, 2.5, 5, 10, 25, 50, 75, 100, 150 μg/ml) for 24 h and the cell viability was measured by MTT assay. Then PC12 cells and SH-SY5Y cells were co-treated with CeO2 and active oxygen scavenger NAC and the cells were stained with DCFH-DA probe for ROS. The number of cells and the fluorescence intensity were observed under a fluorescent inverted microscope. Differences were assessed by one-way ANOVA. Results After treatment with CeO2 nanoparticles, the viabilities of both PC12 cells (P<0.01) and SH-SY5Y cells (P<0.01) were decreased comparing with the control group. After staining with DCFH-DA probe, the fluorescence intensity of the nerve cells was enhanced depending on the concentration of CeO2 nanoparticles suggesting that CeO2 induced the generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS). The fluorescence intensity of PC12 cells was decreased after CeO2 nanoparticles (100 μg/ml) co-treatment with active oxygen scavenger NAC. Compared with CeO2 nanoparticles alone at 25 μg/ml (P<0.01), 50 μg/ml (P<0.01), 75 μg/ml (P<0.01), 100 μg/ml (P<0.01), the cell viability was significantly increased after co-treatment with NAC. Conclusion CeO2 nanoparticles has a negative effect on the viabilities of nerve cells PC12 and SH-SY5Y, and the effect might be depend on ROS.Objective To investigate the effects of ginsenoside Rg5 on the proliferation, cycle and invasion of gastric carcinoma cell lines, providing experimental evidence for the anti-tumor mechanism of ginsenoside Rg5. Methods In this experimental study, the human immortalized normal gastric mucosa cell GES-1 and gastric adenocarcinoma cell lines AGS and MKN-45 were treated with Rg3 and Rg5 at the concentrations of 10, 20, 30, 40 and 50 μmol/L for 24 h, 3 parallel holes were set for each group. A cell viability test, cell cycle analysis, transwell assay, ELISA and immunoblotting were performed. Results The viabilities of AGS and MKN-45 were suppressed by Rg3 and Rg5 in a concentration-dependent manner. The activity of Rg5 against gastric cancer cells was stronger than that of Rg3, and its toxicity to GES-1 was lower than that of Rg3. After the treatment of 20 μmol/L of Rg5 for 24 h, Rg5 could generate cell cycle S phase arresting by decreasing the CyclinA1/cyclin-dependent kinase 2 (CDK2)/proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA) complex production and increasing the P21CIPI. Rg5 inhibited the migration of MNK-45 cells by reducing the expressions of MMP2 and MMP9. WB results showed that Rg5 inhibited the proliferation and migration of gastric cancer mainly by inhibiting the expression of Notch1 protein to regulate its downstream cycle and invasion related proteins. Conclusion These results suggest that Rg5 exhibits stronger anti-cancer activity than Rg3 in gastric cancer cells, and has higher anti-gastric cancer cell activity than Rg3 and inhibits cell proliferation and migration by regulating the Notch1 pathway.Objective To investigate the probable roles of the novel C2H2 zinc finger transcription factor ZFP580 on all-transretinoic acid (ATRA)-regulated VSMCs migration and underlying mechanisms. Methods Rat aortic VSMCs were isolated, cultured and identified. VSMCs were treated with ATRA at the concentrations of 0, 5, 10 or 20 μmol/L for 24 hours. The migration ability of VSMCs was observed in each group and compared with control group which was treated by 0 μmol/L ATRA. The mRNA and protein expression levels of ZFP580 were detected by QPCR and Western blot. ZFP580 protein expression in VSMCs was detected under ATRA stimulation when ERK inhibitor PD98059 was used to inhibit the protein expression of ERK. Adenovirus transfection technology was used to obtain VSMCs with overexpression or low expression of ZFP580, and QPCR and Western blot were used to detect the mRNA and protein levels of MMP-2, MMP-9 and ZFP580. Results On the 10th day of VSMCs culture, immunofluorescence showed that SM22 alpha antibody, as a specifieam MMP-2 and MMP-9.Objective To investigate the mRNA, protein expression levels and the phosphorylation levels of key factors in rapidly accelerated fibrosarcoma/mitogen-activated protein kinase kinase/extracellular regulated protein kinases (Raf/MEK/ERK) pathway, and to clarify the regulatory function of Raf/MEK/ERK pathway in myocardial hypertrophy. Methods Twenty SD rats were divided into sham-operated group and model group. The myocardial hypertrophy model was established by transverse aortic constriction (TAC). At 12 weeks after TAC, blood samples were collected from the submandibular vein, and the serum was separated to detect the content of N terminal pro B type natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP). After that, the rats were subjected to echocardiography and hemodynamic measurement. Then the pathological changes of myocardial tissue were observed. And the levels of mRNA, protein expression and the phosphorylation of key factors in Raf/MEK/ERK pathway were detected in myocardial tissue. Results Compared with sham-operated groulls were stained blue in TAC rat. BGJ398 The expression levels of phospho-c-Raf (Ser259) and phospho-c-Raf (Ser338) in myocardial tissue were significantly increased (P<0.01), meanwhile the expression levels of phospho- MEK1/2(Ser217/Ser221) and phospho-ERK1/2 (Thr202/Tyr204) were also significantly increased (P<0.01). Conclusion The regulatory role of Raf / MEK / ERK pathway in cardiac hypertrophy may be through the activation of phosphorylation of c-raf, MEK1, Mek2, ERK1 and ERK2 at specific sites.Objective To study whether the two methods of energy calculation affects the value of relative energy contribution in men's T54 wheelchair racing events. Methods Ten men's T54 wheelchair racers (age (22.9±5.2) yrs、sitting height (90.9±3.2) cm、body mass (59.3±8.3) kg) participate in 1 incremental test and 4 time trials (400 m、800 m、1 500 m、5 000 m). A portable gas analyzer, polar heart rate belt and a blood lactate analyzer were used to measure VO2 at every breath, HR and blood lactate changes. The energetic contribution was measured with phosphocreatine-lactate-oxygen(PCr-La-O2) and maximal accumulated oxygen deficit(MAOD) methods. Results The anaerobic and total energy portions from MAOD were lower than those from PCr-La-O2 ( especially in 400 m WTOT (50.8 ±12.7) KJ vs (65.2±13.5) KJ、WANA (31.0±9.0) KJ vs (45.4±11.4) KJ, P<0.05), resulting in WAER% calculated by MAOD was generally higher than PCr-La-O2 method (especially in 400 m WAER% 39.0% ±1.2% vs 30.4%±8.4 %,P<0.05). Conclusion The study proves that the two-calculation method causes WAER% difference.
