    Objective To study imbalance between EGF and TGFβ1 signal in fetal rat alveolar epithelial type 2 cell exposed to oxygen. Methods Primary fetal rat type 2 alveolar epithelial cells were randomized divided into 2 groups: air group and O2 group. Cell apoptosis were measured by FACS. Sprouty2、EGF receptor、phospho-EGF receptor(Tyr1148)、phospho-EGF receptor(Tyr845)and TGF-βⅡreceptor were was tested by western blot. Sprouty2 mRNA were measured by real-time PCR. Results Compared with air group, there was increased cell apoptosis in O2 group according to FACS. Sprouty2 mRNA and protein were increased in O2 group than air group. EGF receptor、phospho-EGF receptor(Tyr1148)、phospho-EGFreceptor(Tyr845)were decreased in O2 group compared with air group while TGF-βⅡreceptor expression was increased in O2 group compared with air group. Conclusion EGF which can decrease Sprouty2 expression is downregulated in fetal rat alveolar epithelial type 2 cells exposed to oxygen. TGFβ1 which can increase Sprouty2 expression is upregulated in fetal rat alveolar epithelial type 2 cell exposed to oxygen. Both of these 2 mechanisms cause further rising of Sprouty2. We think this is very important in BPD.

    Hydrogen can selectively reduce cytotoxic oxygen radicals. Various experiments have demonstrated that when oxidative stress occurs and cytotoxic oxygen radicals are over produced, i.e. ischemia/reperfusion injury, ischemia-hypoxia injury and acute inflammation, administration of hydrogen significantly suppress the oxidative injuries by selectively neutralizing cytotoxic oxygen radicals.

    Rheumatoid Arthritis is a systematic inflammatory auto-immune disease characterized by synovial hyperplasia and progressive joint destruction.It is thought that RA is caused by the presentation of self antigen by APC. Dendritic cells are antigen handing cells that regulate a wide spectrum of immune responses. They not only initiate immune responses but also induce immune tolerance. This character may apply a new sight for treating RA clinically.
