Methods： Human apoA-I cDNA with a His-tag in the upward stream of cDNA sequence were obtained with RT-PCR and PCR, and human apoA-IMilano cDNA was prepared by QuikChange Site-Directed Mutagenesis Kit. After extracted rAAV vectors with a most economic and convenient method, the particle numbers of rAAV vectors were measured by Dot-blot, and the purity was assayed by SOS-Page. The expression efficiency of the apoA-I or apoA-IMilano in C2C12 infected by rAAV vectors were detected by ELISA method. Results： ApoA-I cDNA was gained by RT-PCR and a His-tag was added in the upward stream of apoA-I cDNA successfully. ApoA-I cDNA was mutanted to apoA-IMilano cDNA successfully by QuikChange Site-Directed Mutagenesis Kit. The both titres of the rAAV vectors of apoA-I and apoA-IMilano were about 2×10^14/L, and the result of SOS-Page showed that the purity of the rAAV vectors was satisfied. The expression level of apoA-I was （0.39±0.04） μg/ml and the apoA-IMilano was （0.31±0.03） μ/ml in the DMEM culture medium at the first 24h after transfection. Conclusion： The success of the rAAV vectors construction, purification and the expression of apoA-I and apoA-IMilano in C2C12 cells mediated by these vectors, makes possible to inject rAAVA and rAAVAM vectors into mice muscle, and rises a new hope on finding a new way to prevent and treat atherosclerotic diseases and cardiovascular disease.展开更多

Endothelium cells injury induced by IgA1 is considered important in the pathogenesis of HSP. Research found that the apoptosis of vein endothelial cells was related to the vasculitis in HSP patients. Purpose: To observe the effect of IgA1 from HSP patients on the apoptosis of HUVEC and firstly analyze the mechanism of the apoptosis of HUVEC induced by IgA1. Methods: HUVECs were cultured in 3 different conditional media with IgA1 from HSP patients, normal healthy children and simply medium (blank control). Serum IgA1 was purified by jacalin affinity chromatography. The rates of apoptosis in HUVEC incubated with IgA1 were determined by TUNEL method and flow cytometry, respectively. The expression of the cytoskeletal proteins, such as FAK, Vinculin and MLCK was detected with the methods of Real-time PCR and Westernblot, respectively. Results: The present study showed that the apoptosis rate of HUVEC by IgA1 isolated from HSP patients was higher than blank control (14.77% ± 2.23% vs 2.25% ± 0.77%) (P < 0.01) and the rate of HUVEC by IgA1 from normal healthy children was higher than blank control (9.97% ± 1.48% vs 2.25% ± 0.77%) (P < 0.01). The cytoskeletal proteins, such as FAK, Vinculin and MLCK expression were down-regulated in HUVEC co-cultured with IgA1 isolated from HSP patients for 24h. Conclusion: These findings firstly on IgA1 from HSP patients may induce apoptosis of vascular endothelial cells through inhibiting the cytoskeletal proteins expression. IgA1 may accelerate progression of HSP by inducing apoptosis of vascular endothelial cells.展开更多
