Objective To study the effect of recombinant adeno-associated virus (rAAV) vector co-expressing human vascular endothel ial growth factor 165 (hVEGF165) and human bone morphogenetic protein 7 (hBMP-7) genes on bone regeneration and angiopoiesis in vivo so as to provide a theoretical basis for the gene therapy of avascular necrosis of thefemoral head (ANFH). Methods Twenty-four male adult New Zealand rabbits were made the ischemic hind l imb model and divided into 4 groups (n=6). The 3rd generation rabbit bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) were transfected with the following 4 virus and were administered intramuscularly into the ischemic thigh muscle of 4 groups, respectively: rAAVhVEGF165- internal ribosome entry site (IRES)-hBMP-7 (group A), rAAV-hVEGF165-green fluorescent protein (GFP) (group B), rAAV-hBMP-7-GFP (group C), and rAAV-IRES-GFP (group D). At 8 weeks after injection, the blood flow of anterior tibial artery in the rabbit hind l imb was detected by ultrasonographic image. Immunohistochemical staining for CD34 was performed to identify the prol iferation of capillary. Another 24 male adult New Zealand rabbits were made the femur muscle pouch model and divided into 4 groups (n=6). The above 4 BMSCs transfected with rAAV were administered intramuscularly into the muscle pouch. At 8 weeks after injection, X-ray radiography was used to assess orthotopic bone formation, and von Kossa staining to show mineral ization. Results No symptoms of local or systemic toxicity were observed after rAAV injection. At 8 weeks after injection, the ratio of ischemic to normal blood flow and the number of capillaries in group A were the highest among 4 groups (P lt; 0.05). The ratio of ischemic to normal blood flow and the number of capillaries in group B were significantly higher than those in group C and group D (P lt; 0.05). However, there was no significant difference between group C and group D (P gt; 0.05). At 8 weeks after injection, orthotopic ossification and mineral ization were evidently detected in group A and group C, and group A was ber than group C. No obvious evidence of orthotopic ossification and mineral ization were observed in group B and group D. Conclusion rAAV-hVEGF165-IRES-hBMP-7 vector has the biological activities of inductive bone regeneration and angiopoiesis in vivo.
Objective To summarize the role of matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) in occurrence and development of gastric cancer. Methods Domestic and international publications online involving MMPs of gastric cancer in recent years were collected and reviewed. Results The occurrence and development of gastric cancer was a multi-step and multi-factorial complicated progress, whose etiology and pathogenesis were still unclarified. MMPs were a class of proteolytic enzymes, which played an important role in the proliferation, metastasis, angiogenesis of gastric cancer and apoptosis of tumor cells and their surrounding normal cells by regulating the microenvironment of the growth of tumor. Conclusion MMPs promote the evolution of gastric cancer in variable ways, the mechanisms of which should be comprehended to provide a theoretical basis for the future treatment of gastric cancer.
Objective To summarize the research progress of controlled release of angiogenic factors and osteogenic factors in bone tissue engineering. Methods The domestic and abroad literature on the controlled release structure of growth factors during bone regeneration in recent years was extensively reviewed and summarized. Results The sustained-release structure includes direct binding, microsphere-three-dimensional scaffold structure, core-shell structure, layer self-assembly, hydrogel, and gene carrier. A sustained-release system composed of different sustained-release structures combined with different growth factors can promote bone regeneration and angiogenesis. Conclusion Due to its controllability and persistence, the growth factor sustained-release system has become a research hotspot in bone tissue engineering and has broad application prospects.
【Abstract】Objective To investigate the expression of inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) and p53 protein in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) and their relationship with angiogenesis. Methods Immunohistochemical method and image analysis technique were used to detect the expression of iNOS and p53 protein in tumor tissue sections of 59 HCC patients. Microvessel density (MVD) was counted by immunohistochemical staining with anti-CD34 antibody.Results ①The expression rates of iNOS and p53 were 81.4%(48/59), 64.4%(38/59) in HCC patients, respectively. The expression intensities of iNOS and p53 were 5 635±1 287, 3 352±873 in HCC patients, respectively. ②MVD was 32.5±2.73 in the tumor tissue of HCC patients. ③The expression of iNOS was correlated with the expression of p53 and MVD in HCC patients (P＜0.05); The expression of p53 was also correlated with the MVD in HCC patients (P＜0.05). Conclusion iNOS and p53 are highly expressed in HCC and may play a key role in angiogenesis of HCC.
Objective To improve the operative effects of patients who had tetralogy of Fallot with aortopulmonary collateral arteries (TOF-APCAs) and evaluate the clinical effects of staging and onestop hybrid approach for TOFAPCAs. Methods From January 2003 to December 2007, thirty patients with TOF-APCAs had undergone combined therapy of APCAs embolization and complete surgical repair. Fifteen patients had APCAs embolization therapy before or after TOF radical operation(staging hybrid group ); Fifteen had onestop hybrid treatment(onestop hybrid group). Results Angiography revealed that there were 19 APCAs in staging hybrid group, and of which 15(78％) were embolized successfully. Five cases had complications and one died from respiratory circulating failure. The rest all recovered and discharged. And 22 APCAs were found in one-stop hybrid group, eighteen (82％) of them were embolized successfully. Only one case had pulmonary effusion. The time of hospitalization(median 37 d vs. 22 d, P=0.011),ICU staying（median 7.0 d vs. 4.7 d,P=0.029）and endotracheal intubation（median 131 h vs. 19 h,P=0.009） was obviously longer, and the hospitalization expenses（median 64 101 [CM(159mm]yuan vs. 48 021 yuan, P=0.033）were obviously higher in staging hybrid group than that in one-stop hybrid group.And there was no statistical significance in cardiopulmonary bypass time（P=0.126） and aortic clamping time（P=0.174） between two groups. Conclusion In comparison with traditional staging hybrid approach, one-stop hybrid approach can simplify the operative process for patients who have TOFAPCAs, improve the operative successful rate and cut down expenses.
ObjectiveTo review the research progress of subtype H vessels in the occurrence and development of osteonecrosis of the femoral head (ONFH).MethodsThe relevant domestic and foreign literature was extensively reviewed. The histological features, biological mechanism of subtype H vessels involved in promoting of osteogenesis, and the role and application of the subtype H vessels in ONFH were summarized.ResultsThe subtype H vessel is a newly discovered bone vessel, mainly distributed in metaphysis and subperiosteum, highly expressing endomucin and CD31. The subtype H vessel has a dense arrangement of Runx2+ early osteoprogenitors, collagen type Ⅰα+ osteoblast cells, and Osterix+ osteoprogenitors that have the ability to induce osteogenesis and angiogenesis. Factors such as platelet-derived growth factor BB, slit guidance ligand 3, hypoxia inducible factor 1α, Notch signaling pathway, and vascular endothelial growth factor are involved in the mechanism of subtype H vessels in promoting osteogenesis.ConclusionSubtype H vessels play an important role in the regulation of angiogenesis and osteogenesis during bone tissue repair and reconstruction. The discovery of subtype H vessels provides new insights into the molecular and cellular mechanisms of osteogenesis and angiogenesis coupling. In the future, new techniques targeting the regulation of subtype H blood vessels may become a promising method for the treatment of ONFH.
