چکیده

INTRODUCTION Hypotension causes diffuse liver injury accompanied by increased local production of interleukin-6 (IL-6) in swine models of uncontrolled hemorrhagic shock (HS). IL-6 is transcriptionally up-regulated by nuclear factor (NF)-kappaB and results in activation of signal transducer and activator of transcription-3 (Stat3) in a murine model of controlled HS. Our objectives were: 1). to determine if increased IL-6 production and NF-kappaB and Stat3 activation occurs in a swine model of uncontrolled HS, and 2). to assess whether or not levels of IL-6 mRNA and activity of NF-kappaB and Stat3 correlate with shock severity. MATERIALS AND METHODS Swine were assigned to four groups: 1). control animals (n = 6): no intervention, 2). sham operation (n = 6): celiotomy and splenectomy, 3). uncontrolled hemorrhagic shock (UHS) (n = 6): sham plus grade V vascular liver injury and resuscitation, 4). profound uncontrolled hemorrhagic shock (PUHS) (n = 8): UHS after dilutional hypothermia. Following euthanasia at 2 h, livers were harvested, total RNA isolated, and IL-6 mRNA levels quantified by Q-RT-PCR (ABI Prism 7700, Applied Biosystems International, Foster City, CA). Protein was extracted for measurement of NF-kappaB and Stat3 activity by electrophoretic mobility shift assay (EMSA). RESULTS Compared to shams, IL-6 mRNA levels increased 4.5-fold in UHS and 90-fold in PUHS (P < 0.001). Compared with shams; NF-kappaB activity increased 2-fold in both UHS and PUHS (P < 0.05). Stat3 activity was equivalent (not significant) in UHS when compared with shams but increased 5.3-fold in PUHS. (P < 0.05). CONCLUSION These findings suggest that regional proinflammatory cytokine production results from and perpetuates a proinflammatory transcription factor cascade in a swine model of uncontrolled hemorrhagic shock and indicate that this process is proportional to the severity of shock.

کلونینگ cDNA فاکتور VII انعقادی حاصل از رده سلولی هپاتوما

Abstract Background: Factor VII, is a coagulant protease it begins the proteolytic cascade reactions and produces thrombin. The use of recombinant human factor VII, (rhFVII) is effective for the treatment of patients with hemophilia A or B. It is a target for gene therapy. This study was done to clone factor VII from HepG2 cell line. Methods: RNA was extracted from the hepatoma, (HepG2), ...

Evaluation of Nucleic Acid Sequence Based Amplification (NASBA) and Reverse Transcription Polymerase Chain Reaction for Detection of Coxsackievirus B3 in Cell Culture and Animal Tissue Samples

Enteroviruses are the causative agents of a number of diseases in humans. Group B coxsackieviruses are believed to be the most common viral agents responsible for human heart disease. Genomic data of enteroviruses has allowed developing new molecular approaches such as Nucleic Acid Sequence Based Amplification (NASBA) for detection of such viruses. In this study, coxsackievirus B3 (CVB3) was de...

African swine fever virus infection of porcine aortic endothelial cells leads to inhibition of inflammatory responses, activation of the thrombotic state, and apoptosis.

African swine fever (ASF) is an asymptomatic infection of warthogs and bushpigs, which has become an emergent disease of domestic pigs, characterized by hemorrhage, lymphopenia, and disseminated intravascular coagulation. It is caused by a large icosohedral double-stranded DNA virus, African swine fever virus (ASFV), with infection of macrophages well characterized in vitro and in vivo. This st...

Anti-Inflammatory Effects of Traditional Chinese Medicines against Ischemic Injury in In Vivo Models of Cerebral Ischemia

Inflammation plays a crucial role in the pathophysiology of acute ischemic stroke. In the ischemic cascade, resident microglia are rapidly activated in the brain parenchyma and subsequently trigger inflammatory mediator release, which facilitates leukocyte-endothelial cell interactions in inflammation. Activated leukocytes invade the endothelial cell junctions and destroy the blood-brain barrie...

I-17: The Mechanism of Gonadal Sex Determination

Background In mammals, a single exon gene SRY on the Y-chromosome is activated in the XY gonadal primordium and initiates a cascade of molecular and morphological events leading to testicular differentiation. SRY-encoded protein (SRY) is a transcription factor harboring a HMG-box DNAbinding motif that upregulates SOX9, which encodes another transcription factor sharing the DNA binding motif wit...
