海马NMDA受体和NOS在慢性应激性抑郁发生中的作用及其相互关系

运用慢性不可预见性温和应激（chronic unpredicted mild stress, CUMS）建立抑郁动物模型,通过海马内微量注射、动物行为学观察及免疫组织化学方法检测海马内一氧化氮合酶（nitric oxide synthase,NOS）表达的变化,探讨CUMS诱发抑郁与海马谷氨酸N-甲基-D-天冬氨酸（N-methyl-D-aspartic acid,NMDA）受体、一氧化氮合酶（nitric oxide synthase,NOS)的关系。结果发现：CUMS组大鼠表现出抑郁样行为变化,海马NOS表达显著升高;海马微量注射NMDA受体激动剂,动物行为学表现与CUMS组相同,NOS表达升高;海马微量注射非竞争性NMDA受体拮抗剂MK-801能明显改善应激引起的抑郁样行为表现,并降低海马NOS表达。这些结果表明慢性不可预见性应激可能使谷氨酸（glutamic acid,Glu）过量释放,NMDA受体过度激活,NOS高表达,NO过量产生,损伤海马神经元,导致抑郁发生。

雌性动物生殖系统中的一氧化氮

一氧化氮(nitric oxide,NO)属于无机自由基气体,作为一种特殊的生物传递信号分子,日益受到生命科学各领域的普遍重视。机体内的NO是由三种一氧化氮合酶(nitric oxide synthase,NOS)合成的。NOS在体内的分布极为广泛,几乎遍布机体的每一个系统。研究表明,生殖系统中的NO参与了卵泡的发育和成熟、胚胎的植入、妊娠的维持、分娩等许多生理过程。现就NO在雌性生殖系统中的作用进行阐述。     

一氧化氮的功能及其作用机制(Ⅰ)——性质与功能

一氧化氮(nitric oxide,NO)是第一个被发现的参与细胞信号转导的气体信号分子。NO参与的生命活动非常广泛,在神经、免疫、呼吸等系统中发挥着重要作用。很久以来,一氧化氮合酶(nitric oxide synthase,NOS)被认为是人体内合成NO的主要途径,其活性受到严格的调控。直到最近,人们才发现亚硝酸盐(nitrite,NO2-)也可以参与体内NO的合成。本综述总结NO的相关性质与功能,并简介亚硝酸盐的研究进展。     

白细胞介素—10对血管一氧化氮／一氧化氮合酶系统的影响

为探讨抗炎因子－－白细胞介素－10（IL－10）对大鼠主动脉一氧化氮（NO）／一氧化氮合酶（NOS）系统的影响,应用Griess试剂、^3H－瓜氨酸生成及蛋白免疫印迹杂交等方法,测定IL－10孵育对血管NO释放、NOS活性及表达的影响。结果发现细菌脂多糖（LPS）呈浓度领带性地激活诱导型NOS（iNOS）,促进NO生成。IL－10（10^-10-10^-8g/ml）呈浓度依赖性地上调内皮型NOS（eNOS）蛋白表达及其活性,但对iNOS活性及表达无明显影响,IL－10（10^-9-10^-8g/ml）显著抑制10μg/ml LPS诱导的NO生成和iNOS激活;而高浓度IL－10（10^-7g/ml）则上调iNOS的活性,对eNOS蛋白的表达知活性无明显影响。因此IL－10对NO／NOS系统具有双重影响,一方面可抑制炎症介质诱发的作为炎性物质的iNOS的表达及激活,另一方面可上调内皮源扩血管物质NO的释放。     

一氧化氮在血管紧张素Ⅱ诱导心肌细胞肥大中的作用

同型半胱氨酸对内皮细胞一氧化氮合酶系统的损伤机制及叶酸的拮抗效应

本实验探讨同型半胱氨酸(Hcy)对人脐静脉内皮细胞(HUVEC)一氧化氮合酶(eNOS)的损伤机制及叶酸(FA)的拮抗效应。HUVEC原代培养,传至第3代后,将其与不同浓度Hcv(10μmol/L、30μmol/L、100μmol/L和300μmol/L)、FA(100μmol/L)或两者联合共同培养72h,用RT-PCR和免疫组织化学技术分别估测细胞eNOS mRNA水平及eNOS蛋白质量;高效液相色谱测定细胞内不对称二甲基精氨酸(ADMA)含量;并分别测定二甲基精氨酸二甲胺水解酶(DDAH)、eNOS活性及一氧化氮(NO)含量。HUVEC与不同浓度Hcy培养72h后,eNOS mRNA和蛋白质表达皆受到抑制;eNOS活性降低;NO生成减少。同时,DDAH活性降低;细胞内ADMA含量呈剂量依赖性增加。加入FA后,eNOS蛋白质水平上调;eNOS活性增强;NO生成增多。同时,DDAH活性增强,ADMA蓄积减少;但eNOS mRNA表达没有改变。Hcy对内皮细胞eNOS的损伤机制涉及eNOS酶蛋白和eNOS的基因表达两个层面,其对eNOS酶蛋白的抑制机制可能通过DDAH-ADMA通路,FA可拮抗Hcy对eNOS酶蛋白的抑制作用,显示出对HHcy有一定的保护作用。但FA对HHcy所导致的eNOS基因表达的抑制无保护效应。     

Effect of calcitonin gene-related peptide on nitric oxide production in osteoblasts: an experimental study

The aim of this study was to investigate the in vitro effects and regulatory mechanism of CGRP (calcitonin gene-related peptide) on NO (nitric oxide) production in osteoblasts. MOB (primary human mandibular osteoblasts) and osteoblast-like cells (MG-63) were either cultured with CGRP or co-incubated with inhibitors targeting eNOS (endothelial nitric oxide synthase), iNOS (inducible nitric oxide synthase), nNOS (neuronal nitric oxide synthase) and [Ca2+]i (intracellular Ca2+). The NO concentration in cell culture supernatants was measured during the first 24 h using the Griess test; cellular NO was marked with the fluorescent marker DAF-FM, DA (3-amino, 4-aminomethyl-2',7'-difluorescein; diacetate) and measured by fluorescence microscopy from 1 to 4 h after treatment. eNOS and iNOS mRNA expression levels were measured by quantitative RT-PCR during the first 24 h after treatment. CGRP-induced NO production in the supernatants was high between 1 to 12 h, while cellular NO was highest between 1 to 2 h after treatment and returned to basal levels by 3 h. Both in MG-63 cells and MOBs, the most effective CGRP concentration was 10 nM with a peak time of 1 h. CGRP-induced NO production decreased when eNOS activity was inhibited or when voltage-dependent L-type Ca2+ channels were blocked at 4 h. CGRP was not able to induce changes in iNOS or eNOS mRNA levels and had no effect on the cytokine-induced increase of iNOS expression. Our results suggest that CGRP transiently induces NO production in osteoblasts by elevating intracellular Ca2+ to stimulate the activity of eNOS in vitro.     

Effects of endomorphins on human umbilical vein endothelial cells under high glucose

The endomorphin-1 (EM1) and endomorphin-2 (EM2) are endogenous opioid peptides, which modulate extensive bioactivities such as pain, cardiovascular responses, immunological responses and so on. The present study was undertaken to investigate the effects of EM1/EM2 on the primary cultured human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) damaged by high glucose. PI AnnexinV-FITC detection was performed to evaluate the apoptosis rate. Levels of nitric oxide (NO) and nitric oxide synthase (NOS) activity were measured by the Griess reaction and the conversion of 3H-arginine to 3H-citrulline, respectively. Endothelin-1 (ET-1) was evaluated by the enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Cell proliferation was determined by the MTT viability assay. mRNA expression of endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS) and ET-1 were measured by real-time PCR. Our data showed that EM1/EM2 inhibited cell apoptosis. The high glucose induced increase in expression of NO, NOS and ET-1 were significantly attenuated by pretreatment with EM1/EM2 in a dose dependent manner. In addition, EM1/EM2 suppressed the mRNA eNOS and mRNA ET-1 expression in HUVECs under high glucose conditions. Naloxone, the nonselective opioid receptor antagonist, did not influence the mRNA eNOS expression when it was administrated on its own; but it could significantly antagonize the effects induced by EM1/EM2. Furthermore, in all assay systems, EM1 was more potent than EM2. The results suggest that EM1/EM2 have a beneficial effect in protecting against the endothelial dysfunction by high glucose in vitro, and these effects were mediated by the opioid receptors in HUVECs.

一氧化氮在血管紧张素Ⅱ激活蛋白激酶C中的作用

实验在培养新生大鼠心肌细胞中检测NO前体L－精氨酸（L－Arg）和NO供体硝普钠（SNP）对血管紧张素Ⅱ（AngⅡ）激活蛋白激酶C（PKC）的作用,以探讨心肌细胞PKC水平的信号转导途径,实验结果如下：（1）无血清DMEM培养心肌细胞24h后加入AngⅡ,PKC活性呈剂量依赖性增高;（2）培养基中加入L－Arg,PKC活性呈剂量依赖性降低;（3）用L－Arg100μmol/L进行预处理,30min后分别加入AngⅡ0.1μmol/L或PMA10μmol/L,PKC活性均明显降低,与单纯AngⅡ组和单纯PMA组相比均有显著性差异;用NOS抑制剂L－NAME预处理后,再加入L－Arg,可明显阻断L－Arg对上述两个效应的影响;（4）培养液中加入NO供体SNP,PKC活性呈剂量依赖性地降低;（5）用SNP10μmol／L预处理心肌细胞,5min后分别加入AngⅡ或PMA,PKC活性分别与单纯AngⅡ和单纯PMA组相比均明显降低。以上结果表明,AngⅡ能剂量依赖性激活PKC,而NO可剂量依赖性抑制PKC活性;NOS参与L－Arg抑制AngⅡ或PMA激活PKC的作用。这些观察提示,NO抑制AngⅡ对心肌细胞的作用可能是通过抑制PKC活性实现的,PKC可能是NO和AngⅡ在心肌细胞内信号转导的交汇点（cross talk）。     

Cyclosporin-A Inhibits Constitutive Nitric Oxide Synthase Activity and Neuronal and Endothelial Nitric Oxide Synthase Expressions after Spinal Cord Injury in Rats

Nitric oxide (NO) plays a role in the pathophysiology of spinal cord injury (SCI). NO is produced by three types of nitric oxide synthase (NOS) enzymes: The constitutive Ca²⁺/calmodulin-dependent neuronal NOS (nNOS) and endothelial NOS (eNOS) isoforms, and the inducible calcium-independent isoform (iNOS). During the early stages of SCI, nNOS and eNOS produce significant amounts of NO, therefore, the regulation of their activity and expression may participate in the damage after SCI. In the present study, we used Cyclosporin-A (CsA) to further substantiate the role of Ca-dependent NOS in neural responses associated to SCI. Female Wistar rats were subjected to SCI by contusion, and killed 4 h after lesion. Results showed an increase in the activity of constitutive NOS (cNOS) after lesion, inhibited by CsA (2.5 mg/kg i.p.). Western blot assays showed an increased expression of both nNOS and eNOS after trauma, also antagonized by CsA administration.     

胰岛素促进血管内皮细胞产生一氧化氮的实验研究

目的：探讨胰岛素对血管内皮细胞增殖、NO产生和NOS基因表达的影响。方法：培养牛主动脉内皮细胞,测定培养上清液中NO氧化产物NO2^－的水平并应用定量RT－PCR技术检测内皮细胞NOS mRNA的表达水平。结果：①胰岛素对大血管内皮细胞无细胞毒作用,也不影响细胞增殖;②在1－15μg/ml浓度范围内,胰岛素加强内皮细胞释放NO,且呈剂量依赖的方式,NOS特异性抑制剂L－NAME可阻抑之;③胰岛素轻度增加NOS mRNA表达水平,但无统计学意义。结论：胰岛素既不影响大血管内皮细胞增殖,也不影响内皮细胞NOS mRNA表达水平,但以剂量依赖的方式加强内皮细胞产生NO,推测其诱导NO产生的机制可能是通过酶活性的诱导,加速NO的合成。
