2019, 37(5): 400-405,426. doi: 10.3969/j.issn.1006-0111.2019.05.004
Abstract:
Objective To investigate the effect of p62 protein on the lipid autophagy and the expression of inflammatory cytokines in macrophage-derived foam cells. Methods RAW264.7 cells were stimulated by oxidized low density lipoprotein to mimic the formation of macrophage-derived foam cells.The levels of p62 protein and mRNA in macrophage-derived foam cells were detected by Western blot and real-time qPCR.The protein levels of LC3,Plin2 and PEX2 were measured by Western blot in Ox-LDL treated Raw264.7 cells to determine the effects of p62 on autophagy in macrophage-derived foam cells.The TNFα and IL-6 mRNA levels were detected by real-time PCR. Results Ox-LDL up-regulated both autophagy levels and p62 protein levels in RAW264.7 cells.After interfering the expression of p62,the level of LC3-Ⅱ protein decreased,but the protein levels of lipid droplet-related protein Plin2 did not change significantly.The peroxisome-related protein PEX2 level increased.The expression of TNFα and IL-6 also increased.Further studies showed that Nrf2 interference significantly inhibited the up-regulation of p62 by Ox-LDL. Conclusion Ox-LDL mediates the upregulation of p62 through Nrf2 in macrophage-derived foam cells,and p62 may play a protective role in atherosclerosis.

2019, 37(5): 416-421. doi: 10.3969/j.issn.1006-0111.2019.05.006
Abstract:
Objective To study the effects of microneedle-roller insertion times on skin permeation. Methods Tretinoin was used as model drug.The in vitro transdermal characteristics in nude mice were studied with Franz diffusion cell and the tissue homogenization method.The drug distribution in nude mice skin was investigated by methylene blue staining and confocal lasers scanning microscope.The skin irritation was evaluated by trans-epidermal water-loss (TEWL) measurement and laser Doppler flowmetry. Results Within the microneedle roller insertion times 1,3,5,8,and 10,the better penetration effect and drug accumulation in skin were achieved with the increment of insertion times.However,there was no significant difference in the skin accumulation between 8 and 10 times of the insertion(P>0.05).The results from methylene blue staining and microscope confocal lasers scanning indicated that the uniformity of needle hole distribution was increased with the increased insertion times.However,some needle hole overlap and skin damages were observed from methylene blue staining when insertion times were more than five.The in vivo drug absorption study indicated that the drug accumulation was inhomogeneous in nude mice skin after one treatment.It was significantly improved after three treatments.The results from TEWL measurements suggested that the recovery time of skin barrier function was 24 hours if insertion was less than five times and 36 hours if more than eight times.The results of laser Doppler flowmetry indicated that the recovery time of skin barrier function was 1 hour if insertion times were less than five,and 2 hours if more than eight times. Conclusion The optimal microneedle insertion time was five times,which could ensure the safety and effectiveness of the skin permeation study in nude mice.

ZHOU Jing, WU Gao, MA Fujia
2019, 37(5): 433-439. doi: 10.3969/j.issn.1006-0111.2019.05.009
Abstract:
Objective To study the regulation and mechanism of hsa-miRNA-30a-5p on the proliferation of human lung cancer A549 cells. Methods Five pairs of lung cancer and para-carcinoma tissues were harvested in clinical and measured for hsa-miRNA-30a-5p and SCARA5 levels by real-time PCR and western blotting,respectively.The theoretical binding site of hsa-miRNA-30a-5p in SCARA5's 3'UTR was predicted by bioinformatics,and validated by luciferase report assay.A549 cells were transfected with pshRNA-SCARA5 and miRNA-30a-5p inhibitor and 48 h later,the proliferation of A549 cells after genetic intervention was assayed by the MTT method,and the cell growth curve was plotted to observe the effect of hsa-miRNA-30a-5p knockdown on cell proliferation. Results For all five pairs of samples tested,hsa-miRNA-30a-5p was higher in the cancer tissues than in the adjacent tissue(P<0.05),and SCARA5 protein was lower in the cancer tissues than in the adjacent tissue (P<0.05).The bioinformatics analysis showed that there was a theoretical binding site of hsa-miRNA-30a-5p in SCARA5's 3'UTR.The luciferase assay showed that miRNA-30a mimics inhibited the luciferase expressed by the luciferase reporter vector carrying a wild-type SCARA5's 3'UTR(pGL3-WT- SCARA5)(P<0.05,vs pGL3-WT-SCARA5 alone),and miRNA-30a-5p inhibitor enhanced the luciferase activity(P<0.05,vs pGL3-WT- SCARA5 alone).No change was observed when miRNA-30a-5p mimics or miRNA-30a-5p inhibitor was co-transfected with the luciferase reporter vector carrying a mutant SCARA5's 3'UTR(pGL3-MT- SCARA5)(P>0.05,vs pGL3-WT- SCARA5 alone).Hsa-miRNA-30a-5p level in A549 cells transfected with miRNA-30a inhibitor for 48 h was significantly decreased(P<0.05,vs cell control or NC),and there was no difference in hsa-miRNA-30a-5p between the negative control and the transfection control(P>0.05).The proliferation of A549 cells was suppressed by transfection with miRNA-30a-5p inhibitor 24-72 h after transfection(P<0.05,vs control or NC). Conclusion Hsa-miRNA-30a-5p could increase the proliferation in A549 cells via suppressing the expression of SCARA5,and transfection of miRNA-30a-5p inhibitor could inhibit the proliferation of A549 cells via up-regulating SCARA5 expression.
