RESUMEN

Objective:To study the effect of Long non-coding RNA(LncRNA)small nucleolar RNA host gene 12(SNHG12)regulating miR-138-5p/hypoxia inducible factor-1(HIF-1α)axis on improving the damage of hypoxia/reoxygenation(H/R)human vas-cular endothelial cells.Methods:Human umbilical vein endothelial cells(HUVECs)were cultured in vitro and randomly divided into control group,H/R model group,H/R+LncRNA SNHG12 overexpression group,H/R+miR-138-5p mimics group,H/R+co-transfec-tion group and H/R+co-transfection negative control group,each transfection group was transfected separately,and except for control group,the remaining groups were given hypoxia for 5 hours and then reoxygenated for 1 hour to induce the cell models,and then the cell viability of each group was detected by CCK-8 experiment;the cell apoptosis in each group was detected by flow cytometry experi-ment,and the apoptosis rate of each group was compared;the levels of reactive oxygen species(ROS),lactate dehydrogenase(LDH)and inflammatory factors IL-6,IL-17 and IL-18 in each group were measured by the kit;the expressions of miR-138-5p and HIF-1α mRNA in cells of each group were measured by real-time quantitative PCR(qRT-PCR)experiment;the expressions of apoptotic pro-teins caspase-9,Bcl-2-associated X protein(Bax)and HIF-1α in each group were evaluated by Western blot.Results:Compared with control group,the apoptosis rate,cellular ROS,LDH,IL-6,IL-17 and IL-18 levels,cellular HIF-1α mRNA and protein levels,cellular caspase-9,Bax and HIF-1α protein levels were increased in H/R model group(P<0.05),the cell viability and miR-138-5p level were decreased(P<0.05).Compared with H/R model group and H/R+co-transfection group,the cell viability,cell HIF-1αmRNA and protein levels were increased in H/R+LncRNA SNHG12 overexpression group(P<0.05),the apoptosis rate,cellular ROS,LDH,IL-6,IL-17 and IL-18 levels,cellular caspase-9 and Bax protein levels,and miR-138-5p level were decreased(P<0.05);the cell viability,cellular HIF-1α mRNA and protein levels were decreased in H/R+miR-138-5p mimics group(P<0.05),the apoptosis rate,cellular ROS,LDH,IL-6,IL-17 and IL-18 levels,cellular caspase-9 and Bax protein levels were increased(P<0.05).Com-pared with H/R model group,there was no significant difference in cell index levels between the H/R+co-transfection negative control group and the H/R+co-transfection group(P>0.05).Conclusion:LncRNA SNHG12 can upregulate HIF-1α expression by downregulat-ing miR-138-5p expression,inhibit H/R-induced inflammation and oxidative stress in HUVECs,and reduce cell damage and apoptosis.

RESUMEN

To investigate the effects of soluble fms-like tyrosine kinase-1 on the vascular mimicry formation, proliferation, migration, and invasion of colorectal cancer SW480 cells. The recombinant plasmid pBLAST49-sFLT-1 or pBLAST49 control plasmid was transfected into SW480 cells to obtain hsFLT-1-SW480 or Ctrl-SW480 cells. The three-dimensional model culture, sulforhodamine B assay, scratch assay, and Transwell assay were performed to detect the vascular mimicry formation, proliferation, migration, and invasion of colorectal cancer SW480 cells, respectively. Western blotting was used to detect the expression of vascular endothelial-cadherin protein. Compared with Ctrl-SW480 cells, vascular mimicry formation ((0.85 ± 0.04) vs (7.40 ± 0.69), p < 0.05) and vascular endothelial-cadherin expression ((1.25 ± 0.08) vs (1.89 ± 0.03), p < 0.05) were significantly decreased, and the growth rate was also significantly decreased in hsFLT-1-SW480 cells ((32.54 ± 5.12) vs (88.13 ± 11.52), p < 0.05). Moreover, the migration ((0.46 ± 0.08) vs (0.94 ± 0.03), p < 0.05) and invasion capacity ((59.14 ± 3.64) vs (134.85 ± 10.16), p < 0.05) of SW480 cells were significantly inhibited upon soluble fms-like tyrosine kinase-1 transfection. soluble fms-like tyrosine kinase-1 inhibits cell proliferation, migration, and invasion of colorectal cancer SW480 cells through suppression of vascular mimicry formation, which provides a good basis for the development of new drugs for the treatment of colorectal cancer by targeting both angiogenesis and vascular mimicry formation.

RESUMEN

Objective To evaluate percutaneous transluminal angioplasty ( PTA) for stenosed arteries of the lower extremities in patients with ischaemic diabetic foot. Methods We retrospectively analyzed the clinical and follow-up data of using PTA to treat diseased infrapopliteal arteries in diabetic patients who were hospitalized from Oct,2006 to May,2008. Results Technical success rate was 87% , procedure related complications developed in 8. 9% of patients, postoperative complications were 11. 1% , perioperative mortality was 2. 5% , limb salvage rate was 90% , pain symptom was significantly mitigated or relieved, ulcer healed well. The median hospitalstay was 10 days. Restenosis rates were 38. 1 % , 50% respectively at 1 year and 2 years. Rest pain and ulcer recurrence rates were 10% and 12% at 1 year and 2 years respectively; Amputation rates were 10% and 15. 3% at 1 year and 2 years. Restenosis ( or occlusion) , rest pain or ulcer recurrence and amputation rate in Fontain Ⅳ group is significantly poorer than that in Fontain Ⅰ - Ⅲ group (P ＜0. 05). Conclusions Percutaneous transluminal angioplasty (PTA) for critical limb ischeamia in patients with ischaemic diabetic foot are feasible, with minimal invasiveness, low complications. Fontain classification predicts PTA thrapeutic results.
