Assigning transcriptomic class in the trigeminal ganglion using multiplex in situ hybridization and machine learning. ABSTRACT: Single cell sequencing has provided unprecedented information about the transcriptomic diversity of somatosensory systems. Here, we describe a simple and versatile in situ hybridization (ISH)-based approach for mapping this information back to the tissue. We illustrate the power of this approach by demonstrating that ISH localization with just 8 probes is sufficient to distinguish all major classes of neurons in sections of the trigeminal ganglion. To further simplify the approach and make transcriptomic class assignment and cell segmentation automatic, we developed a machine learning approach for analyzing images from multiprobe ISH experiments. We demonstrate the power of in situ class assignment by examining the expression patterns of voltage-gated sodium channels that play roles in distinct somatosensory processes and pain. Specifically, this analysis resolves intrinsic problems with single cell sequencing related to the sparseness of data leading to ambiguity about gene expression patterns. We also used the multiplex in situ approach to study the projection fields of the different neuronal classes. Our results demonstrate that the surface of the eye and meninges are targeted by broad arrays of neural classes despite their very different sensory properties but exhibit idiotypic patterns of innervation at a quantitative level. Very surprisingly, itch-related neurons extensively innervated the meninges, indicating that these transcriptomic cell classes are not simply labeled lines for triggering itch.

The DNA repair capacity of the tumor represents a common mechanism used by cancer cells to survive DNA-damaging therapy. Poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP) is a nuclear enzyme that is activated by DNA damage and has critical roles in DNA repair. Inhibition of PARP potentiates the activity of DNA-damaging agents such as temozolomide, topoisomerase inhibitors and radiation in both in vitro and in vivo preclinical models. Recently, several PARP inhibitors have entered clinical trials either as single agents or in combination with DNA-damaging chemotherapy. Because PARP inhibitors are not cytotoxic, a biomarker assay is useful to guide the selection of an optimal biological dose. We set out to develop an assay that enables us to detect 50% PAR reduction in human tumors with 80% power in a single-plate assay while assuring no more than a 10% false-positive rate. We have developed and optimized an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) to measure PARP activity that meets the above-mentioned criterion. This robust assay is able to detect PAR levels of 30-2000 pg/ml in both tumor and peripheral blood monocyte samples. In a B16F10 mouse syngeneic tumor model, PARP inhibitor ABT-888 potentiates the effect of temozolomide in suppressing tumor growth, and PARP activity is greatly reduced by ABT-888 at efficacious doses.

Umbilicoplasty with 3 triangular skin flaps and excised diamond-shaped skin flap. PURPOSE: In cases of large umbilical hernias, standard surgical techniques have proven inadequate for diminishing the diameter of the umbilicus.

Bacteriorhodopsin was first delipidated by detergent treatment of purple membrane under nonsolubilizing conditions for the protein. The delipidated aggregated protein could then be solubilized into monomers at concentration close to millimolar by selected detergents. The solubilizing detergent had an important effect on the rotational correlation time of the protein as shown by measuring in each case the temperature-dependent stability of the protein, the size of the detergent-protein complex, and the detergent viscosity. Consistently, a strong influence of the detergent was also found on spectral resolution in 13C NMR spectra of solubilized bacteriorhodopsin labeled with [1-13C]phenylalanine. Best resolution was obtained using n-dodecylmaltoside as detergent, with which relatively narrow well resolved 13C NMR resonances were observed at 50 degrees C. It is suggested that high-resolution NMR studies performed with this detergent may contribute to the structural resolution of bacteriorhodopsin.

Two allelic or tightly linked genetic factors at the PLRV.4 locus on potato chromosome XI control resistance to potato leafroll virus accumulation. A novel locus for potato resistance to potato leafroll virus (PLRV) was characterized by inheritance studies and molecular mapping.

The resistance to PLRV accumulation present in DW 91-1187 was not transmitted to any F1 offspring when crossed with a PLRV susceptible clone. Instead, one half of the F1 individuals exhibited undetectable amounts of PLRV as determined by ELISA during the primary infection assay, but accumulated PLRV in their tuber progeny plants.

The decision to initiate enteral or parenteral nutrition, to which patients and at which time, is still debated. The effects of nutritional supplements given before or after liver transplantation, or both, still remains unclear. OBJECTIVES: The aim of this review was to assess the beneficial and harmful effects of enteral and parenteral nutrition as well as oral nutritional supplements administered to patients before and after liver transplantation. SEARCH METHODS: We searched the Cochrane Hepato-Biliary Group Controlled Trials Register (March 2012), the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials (Issue 2 of 12, 2012) in The Cochrane Library, MEDLINE (January 1946 to March 2012), EMBASE (January 1974 to March 2012), Science Citation Index Expanded (January 1900 to March 2012), Social Science Citation Index (January 1961 to October 2010), and reference lists of articles. Manufacturers and experts in the field have also been contacted and relevant journals and conference proceedings were handsearched (from 1997 to October 2010). SELECTION CRITERIA: Randomised clinical trials of parallel or cross-over design evaluating the beneficial or harmful effects of enteral or parenteral nutrition or oral nutritional supplements for patients before and after liver transplantation were eligible for inclusion. DATA COLLECTION AND ANALYSIS: Two authors independently assessed the risk of bias of the trials and extracted data. Dichotomous data were reported as odds ratios (OR) and continuous data as mean differences (MD) along with their corresponding 95% confidence intervals (CI). Meta-analysis was not possible due to clinical heterogeneity of included interventions. MAIN RESULTS: Thirteen trials met the inclusion criteria. Four publications did not report outcomes pre-defined in the review protocol, or other clinically relevant outcomes and additional data could not be obtained. Nine trials could provide data for the review. Most of the 13 included trials were small and at high risk of bias. Meta-analyses were not possible due to clinical heterogeneity of the interventions.No interventions that were likely to be beneficial were identified.For interventions of unknown effectiveness,postoperative enteral nutrition compared with postoperative parenteral nutrition seemed to have no beneficial or harmful effects on clinical outcomes. Parenteral nutrition containing protein, fat, carbohydrates, and branched-chain amino acids with or without alanyl-glutamine seemed to have no beneficial effect on the outcomes of one and three years survival when compared with a solution of 5% dextrose and normal saline. Enteral immunonutrition with Supportan seemed to have no effect on occurrence of immunological rejection when compared with enteral nutrition with Fresubin .There is weak evidence that, compared with standard dietary advice, adding a nutritional supplement to usual diet for patients during the waiting time for liver transplantation had an effect on clinical outcomes after liver transplantation. The combination of enteral nutrition plus parenteral nutrition plus glutamine-dipeptide seemed to be beneficial in reducing length of hospital stay after liver transplantation compared with standard parenteral nutrition (mean difference (MD) -12.20 days; 95% CI -20.20 to -4.00). There is weak evidence that the use of parenteral nutrition plus branched-chain amino acids had an effect on clinical outcomes compared with standard parenteral nutrition, but each was beneficial in reducing length of stay in intensive care unit compared to a standard glucose solution (MD -2.40; 95% CI -4.29 to -0.51 and MD -2.20 days; 95% CI -3.79 to -0.61). There is weak evidence that adding omega-3 fish oil to parenteral nutrition reduced the length of hospital stay after liver transplantation (mean difference -7.1 days; 95% CI -13.02 to -1.18) and the length of stay in intensive care unit after liver transplantation (MD -1.9 days; 95% CI -1.9 to -0.22).For interventions unlikely to be beneficial, there is a significant increased risk in acute rejections in malnourished patients with a history of encephalopathy and treated with the nutritional supplement Ensure compared with usual diet only (MD 0.70 events per patient; 95% CI 0.08 to 1.32).

A "blood theft" after liver transplantation: the role of interventional radiology in the management and treatment of splenic artery steal syndrome. Splenic artery steal syndrome is a rare complication after liver transplant. It could lead to rapidly evolving major issues such as ischemic cholangiopathy and acute graft failure. Although the pathophysiology is not yet well understood, if diagnosed in time it could be easily managed with interventional radiology treatments. We present a case of a 47-year-old man presented to our institute with radiological findings typical for multifocal hepatocellular carcinoma in a cirrhotic liver. After therapy he underwent transplant. Some days after surgery he developed signs of acute liver failure. Steal syndrome was suspected by laboratory tests and radiology exams. The syndrome was confirmed by angiography and treated. The graft was saved, and the patient is still alive and free of disease. The purpose of this paper is to explain the importance of radiology exams in the diagnosis of splenic steal syndrome, explain its pathogenesis and describe the interventional management of this complication.

Positive effect of home hemodialysis in a pregnant woman with chronic kidney failure during the COVID-19 pandemic: A case report. This report discusses the case of a 25-year-old pregnant woman from an underserved community, with two previous failed kidney transplants and a previous miscarriage. The patient required a progressive increase to 30 h a week of in-hospital hemodialysis during the COVID-19 pandemic lockdown. She delivered her baby while transitioning to home hemodialysis. Women with end-stage kidney disease who require hemodialysis and wish to become pregnant or who are pregnant have options to allow for a safe and healthy delivery. This can be achieved with vigorous hemodialysis, even at home.

It also examines the challenges encountered by health care providers when disclosing an AD diagnosis to patients and caregivers. An estimated 5.3 million Americans have AD; 5.1 million are age 65 years, and approximately 200,000 are age <65 years and have younger onset AD. By mid-century, the number of people living with AD in the United States is projected to grow by nearly 10 million, fueled in large part by the aging baby boom generation. Today, someone in the country develops AD every 67 seconds. By 2050, one new case of AD is expected to develop every 33 seconds, resulting in nearly 1 million new cases per year, and the estimated prevalence is expected to range from 11 million to 16 million. In 2013, official death certificates recorded 84,767 deaths from AD, making AD the sixth leading cause of death in the United States and the fifth leading cause of death in Americans age 65 years. Between 2000 and 2013, deaths resulting from heart disease, stroke and prostate cancer decreased 14%, 23% and 11%, respectively, whereas deaths from AD increased 71%. The actual number of deaths to which AD contributes (or deaths with AD) is likely much larger than the number of deaths from AD recorded on death certificates. In 2015, an estimated 700,000 Americans age 65 years will die with AD, and many of them will die from complications caused by AD. In 2014, more than 15 million family members and other unpaid caregivers provided an estimated 17.9 billion hours of care to people with AD and other dementias, a contribution valued at more than $217 billion. Average per-person Medicare payments for services to beneficiaries age 65 years with AD and other dementias are more than two and a half times as great as payments for all beneficiaries without these conditions, and Medicaid payments are 19 times as great. Total payments in 2015 for health care, long-term care and hospice services for people age 65 years with dementia are expected to be $226 billion. Among people with a diagnosis of AD or another dementia, fewer than half report having been told of the diagnosis by their health care provider. Though the benefits of a prompt, clear and accurate disclosure of an AD diagnosis are recognized by the medical profession, improvements to the disclosure process are needed. These improvements may require stronger support systems for health care providers and their patients." ], "offsets": [ [ 44, 2632 ] ] } ]

IL6 and MCP1 mRNA presented distinct patterns of expression levels: IL6 mRNA level is most highly expressed in the embryonic cortex, whereas MCP1 is expressed at a maximal level in the postnatal day 2 cortical area. In the hippocampus, IL6 is most expressed at the adult stage and MCP1 exhibits an equal level of expression from day two to the adult stage. However, under our experimental conditions, IL1 alpha, IL2 and MCSF mRNA were not observed.

Developmental expression of cytokine genes in the cortex and hippocampus of the rat central nervous system. Cytokines are now considered as constitutive factors of the brain. Some of them are involved in the mechanism regulating lineage commitment and cellular differentiation of the central nervous system (CNS). We describe here the analysis of gene expression in cortex and hippocampus, of interleukin-1 alpha (IL1), interleukin-2 (IL2), interleukin-6 (IL6), macrophage-colony stimulating factor-1 (MCSF) and monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 (MCP1) in fetal (day 18 of gestation; G18), newborn (postnatal day 2; P2), young (postnatal day 21; P21) and adult rat using the reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR). IL6 and MCP1 mRNA presented distinct patterns of expression levels: IL6 mRNA level is most highly expressed in the embryonic cortex, whereas MCP1 is expressed at a maximal level in the postnatal day 2 cortical area. In the hippocampus, IL6 is most expressed at the adult stage and MCP1 exhibits an equal level of expression from day two to the adult stage. However, under our experimental conditions, IL1 alpha, IL2 and MCSF mRNA were not observed. Thus, certain cytokine genes, each with a specific pattern, are expressed in the rat CNS in adult and during ontogenesis. These observations suggest that cytokines might be involved as regulating factors promoting CNS development.

The mechanism underlying the link between tSAH and prognosis has not been clarified. The aim of this study was to investigate the association between CT evidence of tSAH and outcomes after moderate or severe head injuries. METHODS: In a survey organized by the European Brain Injury Consortium, data on initial severity, treatment, and subsequent outcomes were prospectively collected for 1005 patients with moderate or severe head injuries who were admitted to one of the 67 European neurosurgical units during a 3-month period in 1995. The CT findings were classified according to the Traumatic Coma Data Bank classification system, and the presence or absence of tSAH was recorded separately in the initial CT scan forms. RESULTS: Complete data on early clinical features, CT findings, and outcomes at 6 months were available for 750 patients, of whom 41% exhibited evidence of tSAH on admission CT scans. There was a strong, highly statistically significant association between the presence of tSAH and poor outcomes. In fact, 41% of patients without tSAH achieved the level of good recovery, whereas only 15% of patients with tSAH achieved this outcome. Patients with tSAH were significantly older (median age, 43 yr; standard deviation, 21.1 yr) than those without tSAH (median age, 32 yr; standard deviation, 19.5 yr), and there was a significant tendency for patients with tSAH to exhibit lower Glasgow Coma Scale scores at the time of admission. A logistic regression analysis of favorable/unfavorable outcomes demonstrated that there was still a very strong association between tSAH and outcomes after simultaneous adjustment for age, Glasgow Coma Scale Motor Scores, and admission CT findings (odds ratio, 2.49; 95% confidence interval, 1.74-3.55; P < 0.001). Comparison of the time courses for 164 patients with early (within 14 d after injury) deaths demonstrated very similar patterns, with an early peak and a subsequent decline; there was no evidence of a delayed increase in mortality rates for either group of patients (with or without tSAH). CONCLUSION: These findings for an unselected series of patients confirm previous reports of the adverse prognostic significance of tSAH. The data support the view that death among patients with tSAH is related to the severity of the initial mechanical damage, rather than to the effects of delayed vasospasm and secondary ischemic brain damage." ], "offsets": [ [ 149, 2754 ] ] } ]

OBJECTIVE: Previous reports identified the presence of traumatic subarachnoid hemorrhage (tSAH) on admission computed tomographic (CT) scans as an independent prognostic factor in worsening outcomes. The mechanism underlying the link between tSAH and prognosis has not been clarified. The aim of this study was to investigate the association between CT evidence of tSAH and outcomes after moderate or severe head injuries. METHODS: In a survey organized by the European Brain Injury Consortium, data on initial severity, treatment, and subsequent outcomes were prospectively collected for 1005 patients with moderate or severe head injuries who were admitted to one of the 67 European neurosurgical units during a 3-month period in 1995. The CT findings were classified according to the Traumatic Coma Data Bank classification system, and the presence or absence of tSAH was recorded separately in the initial CT scan forms. RESULTS: Complete data on early clinical features, CT findings, and outcomes at 6 months were available for 750 patients, of whom 41% exhibited evidence of tSAH on admission CT scans. There was a strong, highly statistically significant association between the presence of tSAH and poor outcomes. In fact, 41% of patients without tSAH achieved the level of good recovery, whereas only 15% of patients with tSAH achieved this outcome. Patients with tSAH were significantly older (median age, 43 yr; standard deviation, 21.1 yr) than those without tSAH (median age, 32 yr; standard deviation, 19.5 yr), and there was a significant tendency for patients with tSAH to exhibit lower Glasgow Coma Scale scores at the time of admission. A logistic regression analysis of favorable/unfavorable outcomes demonstrated that there was still a very strong association between tSAH and outcomes after simultaneous adjustment for age, Glasgow Coma Scale Motor Scores, and admission CT findings (odds ratio, 2.49; 95% confidence interval, 1.74-3.55; P < 0.001). Comparison of the time courses for 164 patients with early (within 14 d after injury) deaths demonstrated very similar patterns, with an early peak and a subsequent decline; there was no evidence of a delayed increase in mortality rates for either group of patients (with or without tSAH). CONCLUSION: These findings for an unselected series of patients confirm previous reports of the adverse prognostic significance of tSAH. The data support the view that death among patients with tSAH is related to the severity of the initial mechanical damage, rather than to the effects of delayed vasospasm and secondary ischemic brain damage.

Functional identification of the Proteus mirabilis core lipopolysaccharide biosynthesis genes. In this study, we report the identification of genes required for the biosynthesis of the core lipopolysaccharides (LPSs) of two strains of Proteus mirabilis. Since P. mirabilis and Klebsiella pneumoniae share a core LPS carbohydrate backbone extending up to the second outer-core residue, the functions of the common P. mirabilis genes was elucidated by genetic complementation studies using well-defined mutants of K. pneumoniae. The functions of strain-specific outer-core genes were identified by using as surrogate acceptors LPSs from two well-defined K. pneumoniae core LPS mutants. This approach allowed the identification of two new heptosyltransferases (WamA and WamC), a galactosyltransferase (WamB), and an N-acetylglucosaminyltransferase (WamD). In both strains, most of these genes were found in the so-called waa gene cluster, although one common core biosynthetic gene (wabO) was found outside this cluster.

In this study, a sophisticated analytical technique, atomic absorption spectrometer (both with FAAS and GFAAS modes of atomization), was used for the purpose of analyzing Pb contents in 27 commonly used Ca supplements manufactured by different national and multinational companies. The daily intake of lead through these supplements was calculated.

Calcium supplements: an additional source of lead contamination. The risk posed by the quantity of heavy metal lead present in Ca supplements is of grave concern. Some lead levels have been measured up to the extent of regulatory limit set by the United States. Calcium supplements inevitably get contaminated with lead as both are naturally occurring elements having the same charge density. Therefore, it is imperative to indicate the level of this toxic metal in these supplements in order to create awareness among consumers. The calcium in the supplements is derived from natural as well as synthetic/refined sources (chelated or non-chelated). In this study, a sophisticated analytical technique, atomic absorption spectrometer (both with FAAS and GFAAS modes of atomization), was used for the purpose of analyzing Pb contents in 27 commonly used Ca supplements manufactured by different national and multinational companies. The daily intake of lead through these supplements was calculated. Only 10% of the calcium supplements analyzed met the criteria of acceptable Pb levels (1.5 mug/daily dose) in supplements/consumer products set by the United States. It was also found that Pb intake was highest in chelated calcium supplements whereas lowest through calcium supplements with vitamin D formulation. The Pb concentration in calcium supplements was significantly increased (p < 0.001) according to their composition. In order to validate our results from the study conducted, IAEA-certified reference material (animal bone, H-5) was analyzed for Pb levels. The limit of detection of the method used was 0.05 mug/g and a 95% lead recovery of IAEA-certified reference material (animal bone, H-5).

There were lower mean concentrations of dopamine in the demented group of patients in seven regions of the brain, and two of these were at a significant level. There were also significantly lower concentrations of homovanillic acid in the nucleus caudatus and in the putamen. The means of the concentrations of noradrenaline were also lower, and in the putamen and the cortex gyrus frontalis significant differnces were observed. The 5-hydroxytryptamine concentrations were slightly lower in the demented group but the differences did not reach significance. The degree of intellectual deterioration was negatively correlated with the noradrenaline concentrations in the hypothalamus and the cortex gyrus cinguli.

Radial head fractures--an update. Radial head fractures are the most common fractures occurring around the elbow. Although radial head fractures can occur in isolation, associated fractures and ligament injuries are common. Assembling the clinical presentation, physical examination, and imaging into an effective treatment plan can be challenging. The characteristics of the radial head fracture influence the technique used to optimize the outcome. Fragment number, displacement, impaction, and bone quality are considered when deciding between early motion, fragment excision, and radial head excision, repair, or replacement. Isolated, minimally displaced fractures without evidence of mechanical block can be treated nonsurgically with early active range of motion (ROM). Partial, displaced radial head fractures without evidence of mechanical block can be treated either nonsurgically or with open reduction internal fixation (ORIF), as current evidence does not prove superiority of either strategy. For displaced fractures with greater than 3 fragments, radial head replacement is recommended. Radial head arthroplasty may be preferred over tenuous fracture fixation in the setting of associated ligament injuries when maintenance of joint stability could be compromised by ineffective fracture fixation.

Immunomodulating polysaccharides from the lichen Thamnolia vermicularis var. subuliformis. Three heteroglycans Ths-4, Ths-5 and thamnolan and a beta-glucan, Ths-2, isolated from the lichen Thamnolia vermicularis var. subuliformis were tested for in vitro immunomodulating activities and shown to have various influences on the immune system. All the polysaccharides except Ths-4 caused a stimulation of rat spleen cell proliferation. In contrast, Ths-4 caused cell death early in the culture, probably due to over-stimulation. Moreover, the galactofuranomannans, Ths-4, Ths-5 and the beta-glucan Ths-2, induced rat spleen cells to secrete IL-10 significantly above background levels.

METHODS: A retrospective questionnaire survey was conducted among 15,276 residents in 20 villages of Dongying Municipality of Shandong Province with a multiphase cluster randomly sampling on cases of injury from March 1, 2002 to February 28, 2003. The injury was decided with three principles which had been carried out through the nation. The standardized incidence and mortality rates were calculated on base of the population data of Shandong Province in 2000. The burden of injury was evaluated by incidence rate, mortality rate, years of potential life lost (YPLL) system, disability adjusted life year (DALY), direct and indirect economic costs, et al. RESULTS: Totally 902 were injured cases in which the crude incidence rate was 5.90%, and the standardized incidence rate was 5.93%. It was shown higher in men (7.79%) than in women (4.03%). The crude death rate was 12.438 per million. And the standardized death rate was 11.257 per million. 27 cases were crippled. The years, the working years and the valued years of the potential life lost were 24, 19.6 and 8.7 years respectively for each death case. Disability adjusted life years was 566.61 years.

[The burden caused by injury in countryside residents in Dongying, Shandong Province]. OBJECTIVE: To make clear the burden of injury in residents living in countryside of Dongying, Shandong Province. METHODS: A retrospective questionnaire survey was conducted among 15,276 residents in 20 villages of Dongying Municipality of Shandong Province with a multiphase cluster randomly sampling on cases of injury from March 1, 2002 to February 28, 2003. The injury was decided with three principles which had been carried out through the nation. The standardized incidence and mortality rates were calculated on base of the population data of Shandong Province in 2000. The burden of injury was evaluated by incidence rate, mortality rate, years of potential life lost (YPLL) system, disability adjusted life year (DALY), direct and indirect economic costs, et al. RESULTS: Totally 902 were injured cases in which the crude incidence rate was 5.90%, and the standardized incidence rate was 5.93%. It was shown higher in men (7.79%) than in women (4.03%). The crude death rate was 12.438 per million. And the standardized death rate was 11.257 per million. 27 cases were crippled. The years, the working years and the valued years of the potential life lost were 24, 19.6 and 8.7 years respectively for each death case. Disability adjusted life years was 566.61 years. Direct economic cost for medical expenses of all cases was 816.3 thousand RMB Yuan and 200.1 thousand RMB Yuan for else costs. Indirect economic cost was 5,492.9 thousand RMB Yuan according to DALY. CONCLUSION: Injury was common incidence in rural residents in Dongying which caused a heavy burden on them. Prevention and control of injuries would be enhanced.

The Role of Salicylic Acid in Plants Exposed to Heavy Metals. Salicylic acid (SA) is a very simple phenolic compound (a C7H6O3 compound composed of an aromatic ring, one carboxylic and a hydroxyl group) and this simplicity contrasts with its high versatility and the involvement of SA in several plant processes either in optimal conditions or in plants facing environmental cues, including heavy metal (HM) stress. Nowadays, a huge body of evidence has unveiled that SA plays a pivotal role as plant growth regulator and influences intra- and inter-plant communication attributable to its methyl ester form, methyl salicylate, which is highly volatile. Under stress, including HM stress, SA interacts with other plant hormones (e.g., auxins, abscisic acid, gibberellin) and promotes the stimulation of antioxidant compounds and enzymes thereby alerting HM-treated plants and helping in counteracting HM stress. The present literature survey reviews recent literature concerning the roles of SA in plants suffering from HM stress with the aim of providing a comprehensive picture about SA and HM, in order to orientate the direction of future research on this topic.

Reciprocal connections between the claustrum and visual thalamus in the tree shrew (Tupaia glis). We previously described the existence of reciprocal connections between the dorsal claustrum and striate cortex in the tree shrew, Tupaia glis.

This study aimed to investigate the effects of QL on angiotensin II (AngII)-induced CFs transdifferentiation. Study was performed on in vitro cultured CFs from Sprague-Dawley rats. CFs differentiation was induced by AngII, which was attenuated by QL through reducing transforming growth factor-beta1 (TGF-beta1 ) and alpha-smooth muscle actin (alpha-SMA). Our data showed that AngII-induced IL-6 mRNA as well as typeI and typeIII collagens were reduced by QL. IL-6 deficiency could suppress TGF-beta1 and alpha-SMA, and both IL-6 siRNA and QL-mediated such effect was reversed by foresed expression of recombined IL-6. Increase in actin stress fibres reflected the process of CFs differentiation, we found stress fibres were enhanced after AngII stimulation, which was attenuated by pre-treating CFs with QL or IL-6 siRNA, and re-enhanced after rIL-6 treatment.

Qiliqiangxin inhibits angiotensin II-induced transdifferentiation of rat cardiac fibroblasts through suppressing interleukin-6. Qiliqiangxin (QL), a traditional Chinese medicine, had long been used to treat chronic heart failure. Recent studies revealed that differentiation of cardiac fibroblasts (CFs) into myofibroblasts played an important role in cardiac remodelling and development of heart failure, however, little was known about the underlying mechanism and whether QL treatment being involved. This study aimed to investigate the effects of QL on angiotensin II (AngII)-induced CFs transdifferentiation. Study was performed on in vitro cultured CFs from Sprague-Dawley rats. CFs differentiation was induced by AngII, which was attenuated by QL through reducing transforming growth factor-beta1 (TGF-beta1 ) and alpha-smooth muscle actin (alpha-SMA). Our data showed that AngII-induced IL-6 mRNA as well as typeI and typeIII collagens were reduced by QL. IL-6 deficiency could suppress TGF-beta1 and alpha-SMA, and both IL-6 siRNA and QL-mediated such effect was reversed by foresed expression of recombined IL-6. Increase in actin stress fibres reflected the process of CFs differentiation, we found stress fibres were enhanced after AngII stimulation, which was attenuated by pre-treating CFs with QL or IL-6 siRNA, and re-enhanced after rIL-6 treatment. Importantly, we showed that calcineurin-dependent NFAT3 nuclear translocation was essential to AngII-mediated IL-6 transcription, QL mimicked the effect of FK506, the calcineurin inhibitor, on suppression of IL-6 expression and stress fibres formation. Collectively, our data demonstrated the negative regulation of CFs differentiation by QL through an IL-6 transcriptional mechanism that depends on inhibition of calcineurin/NFAT3 signalling.
