AbstractThe present study was conducted to investigate the effects of ghrelin on gastric acid and pepsin secretion, as well as the mRNA expression of gastrin, somatostatin (SS) and receptors for growth hormone (GH) and insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1) in gastric mucosal cells in vitro. Gastric mucosal cells were isolated from 5-week-old weanling piglets and exposed for 4 h to 3×10−2, 3×10−1, 3, 3×10 and 3×102nmol/l of h-ghrelin, respectively after 30-h incubation in DMEM/F-12. Pepsin activity in culture medium, cell viability and H+-K+-ATPase activity, as well as mRNA expression of gastrin, SS, GHR and IGF-1R in gastric mucosal cells were determined as response criteria. The experiment was repeated three times. Ghrelin significantly (P<0·05) increased H+-K+-ATPase activity of gastric mucosal cells at 3×10−1, 3 and 3×10 nmol/l of h-ghrelin. However, no significant changes were observed either in pepsin activity or the cell viability after ghrelin treatment. The mRNA expression of gastrin and SS was significantly increased in gastric mucosal cells exposed to h-ghrelin at 3×10−1and 3 nmol/l (P<0·05). H-ghrelin significantly increased IGF-1R but not GHR mRNA expression at 3×10−1, 3 and 3×10 nmol/l of h-ghrelin (P<0·05). Ghrelin acts on gastric mucosal cells from weanling piglets to regulate the H+-K+-ATPase activity and mRNA expression of gastrin, SS, and IGF-1Rin vitro.

Specific Increase

Abstract The results show that incubation of gastric mucosal cells from rat at pH ~4.5 or in the presence of aspirin is associated with a specific increase in the activity of some acid-hydrolases. Intracellular glycoproteins, isolated by non-degradative techniques from rat or dog fundic mucosal cells, were found to be potential bio-substrates for these acid-hydrolyses. This may suggest that cleavage of the carbohydrate moieties of the intracellular and mucosal cell wall glycoproteins is a fundamental step in the development of gastric ulceration. A model for gastric lesions is proposed and discussed in the light of the results obtained.

High Linoleic Acid

AbstractThe endocannabinoid system (ECS), modulated by metabolites of linoleic acid (LA), is important in regulating cardiovascular function. In pregnancy, LA is vital for foetal development. We investigated the effects of elevated LA in H9c2 cardiomyoblasts in vitro and of a high linoleic acid (HLA, 6.21%) or low linoleic acid (LLA, 1.44%) diet during pregnancy in maternal and offspring hearts. H9c2 cell viability was reduced following LA exposure at concentrations between 300 and 1000 µM. HLA diet decreased cannabinoid receptor type 2 (CB2) mRNA expression in foetal hearts from both sexes. However, HLA diet increased CB2 expression in maternal hearts. The mRNA expression of fatty acid amide hydrolase (FAAH) in foetal hearts was higher in females than in males irrespective of diet and N-acyl phosphatidylethanolamine-specific phospholipase D (NAPE-PLD) mRNA expression showed an interaction between diet and sex. Data indicate that a high LA diet alters cell viability and CB2 expression, potentially influencing cardiac function during pregnancy and development of the offspring’s heart.

Background/Aims: Alcohol abuse exerts deleterious effects on the internal organs of the body, and alcohol-related gastritis is a common disease for which prompt treatment is essential to prevent the condition from growing worse. However, the therapeutic methods have some adverse effects. Determining the pathogenic mechanisms of alcoholic gastritis is therefore essential. Methods: The MTT assay was developed in order to determine the optimal concentration of alcohol needed to treat gastric mucosal cells. The effects of alcohol on the gastric mucosal cells were determined by qRT-PCR and western blot. The release of IL-1β and IL-18 were determined by ELISA assay. The immunofluorescence assay was used to detect caspase-1 activation levels, while immunohistochemical assay and HE staining were performed to identify the effectiveness of the caspase-1 inhibitor on alcoholic gastritis. The TUNEL assay was used to determine DNA fragmentation. Results: Here, we clarified that ethanol treatment could cause cell DNA damage, activate caspase-1, and promote the generation and release of IL-1β and IL-18. In other words, ethanol could induce pyroptosis. Interestingly, a caspase-1 inhibitor could significantly suppress pyroptosis, decrease the release of inflammatory cytokines induced by ethanol, and cause no side effects in vivo and in vitro. Conclusion: Collectively, our results showed that pyroptosis is involved in the pathogenesis of alcohol-induced gastritis and that caspase-1 inhibitor Ac-yvad-cmk could effectively decrease the damage caused by alcohol, making it a potentially promising agent for the treatment of alcoholic gastritis.

Estradiol Synthesis

The study was conducted by supplementing cupric chloride dihydrate to modulate the estradiol synthesis in granulosa cells with a hypothesis of possible use of copper to potentiate or partially replace the hormones for estrus induction / estrus synchronization in future studies. In present study copper at three doses (0.1, 0.5 and 1 mM level in culture medium) were tested to deserve see their effects on in vitro granulosa cell survival, estradiol synthesis and their associated genes of ovarian granulosa cells of goat.There was no effect of copper on the ovarian granulosa cell survival rate. There was a considerable increase in the estradiol level per ml culture medium basis by 6th day of in vitro culture with the second dose of copper i.e. 0.5 mM, but the increase was non-significant (P greator than 0.05). There was no significant effect of copper on estradiol synthesis when expressed on per 30000 cell basis. Effect of copper (0.1 mM and 0.5 mM) on the mRNA expression of genes of aromatase (CYP19A1) and cyclin D2 (CCND2) was estimated. Copper had significantly (P less than 0.05) increased the mRNA expression of CCND2 and CYP19A1in ovarian granulosa cells with only one of the two doses tested i.e. 0.5 mM. Hence, copper can be considered as a potential mineral to supplement along with hormones in estrus induction or estrus synchronization protocols to minimize the use of hormones.

SummaryObjective: To investigate the osteogenic differentiation potential of equine umbilical cord blood-derived multipotent mesenchymal stromal cells (CB-MSC) within coralline hydro-xyapatite scaffolds cultured in osteogenic induction culture medium.Methods: Scaffolds seeded with equine CBMSC were cultured in cell expansion culture medium (control) or osteogenic induction medium (treatment). Cell viability and distribution were confirmed by the MTT cell viability assay and DAPI nuclear fluorescence staining, respectively. Osteogenic differentiation was evaluated after 10 days using reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction, alkaline phosphatase activity, and secreted osteocalcin concentration. Cell morphology and matrix deposition were assessed by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) after 14 days in culture.Results: Cells showed viability and adequate distribution within the scaffold. Successful osteogenic differentiation within the scaffolds was demonstrated by the increased expression of osteogenic markers such as Runx2, osteopontin, osteonectin, collagen IA increased levels of alkaline phosphatase activity increased osteocalcin protein secretion and bone-like matrix presence in the scaffold pores upon SEM evaluation.Clinical significance: These results demonstrate that equine CB-MSC maintain viability and exhibit osteogenic potential in coralline hydroxyapatite scaffolds when induced in vitro. Equine CB-MSC scaffold constructs deserve further investigation for their potential role as biologically active fillers to enhance bone-gap repair in the horse.
