P物质在谷氨酸兴奋外侧下丘脑-穹窿周围区引起的升压反应中之作用

Ｐ物质（ＳＰ）能神经元及其轴突末梢和受体广泛分布于很多心血管中枢。外侧下丘脑含ＳＰ能神经元,外侧下丘脑投射的升压区内又存在ＳＰ能纤维及ＳＰ受体;因此本工作检验ＳＰ在外侧下丘脑升压反应中的作用。实验显示：（１）Ｌ－谷氨酸（Ｇｌｕ）兴奋外侧下丘脑的穹窿周围区（ＬＨ／ＰＦ）或将ＳＰ分别注入各ＬＨ投射区：蓝斑（ＬＣ）、臂旁核（ＮＰＢ）或中脑导水管周围灰质（ＰＡＧ）均引起升压反应;（２）［Ｄ－Ｐｒｏ２,Ｄ－Ｐｈｅ７,Ｄ－Ｔｒｐ９］－ＳＰ（ＳＰ拮抗剂）预先注入ＬＣ或ＰＡＧ可使Ｇｌｕ兴奋ＬＨ／ＰＦ引起的升压反应减小,而注入ＮＰＢ对该反应无明显影响;（３）双侧延髓头端腹外侧区（ＲＶＬ）分别用酚妥拉明、心得安或阿托品预处理也可明显削弱该反应。结合我们以往的实验结果：ＲＶＬ内的α－、β－、Ｍ－受体介导ＬＣ升压反应,α－和β－受体介导ＰＡＧ－升压反应;本工作显示ＬＨ／ＰＦ可通过其ＳＰ能投射纤维作用于ＬＣ－ＲＶＬ和ＰＡＧ－ＲＶＬ升压系统而实现其升压反应。

下丘脑催产素对大鼠摄食和胃动力的影响及调控研究

目的:探讨下丘脑催产素(OXT)对大鼠摄食和胃动力的影响及调控机制。方法:采用荧光金逆行追踪结合免疫组化实验,观察大鼠视上核(SON)与弓状核(ARC)之间的神经通路;采用核团置管术观察ARC微量注射OXT对大鼠摄食的影响;采用单极电刺激观察电刺激SON对大鼠胃运动的影响及ARC微量注射OXT对大鼠胃运动和胃排空的影响。结果:荧光金逆行追踪结合免疫组化实验显示大鼠SON与ARC之间存在神经通路;ARC微量注射OXT大鼠0-2 h、0-3 h和0-4 h摄食量显著下降,OXT受体拮抗剂阿托西班可完全阻断OXT的抑制摄食作用,注射OXT和缩胆囊素(CCK)受体拮抗剂MK-329混合液后,OXT对大鼠摄食的抑制作用被部分阻断;电刺激SON,大鼠胃运动幅度和频率显著增强,预先向ARC内微量注射阿托西班后再电刺激SON,电刺激SON对胃运动的促进作用进一步增强;ARC微量注射OXT后,大鼠胃运动幅度和频率显著降低,阿托西班可完全阻断OXT对胃运动幅度和频率的抑制作用,MK-329可部分阻断OXT对胃运动幅度和频率的抑制作用;ARC微量注射OTX后,大鼠胃排空率显著降低,阿托西班可完全阻断OXT对胃排空的抑制作用,MK-329可部分阻断OXT对胃排空的抑制作用。结论:SON-ARC内具有OXT神经通路,且该通路由CCK介导。     

Ghrelin对糖尿病大鼠下丘脑弓状核胃扩张敏感神经元和胃运动的影响

目的:探讨Ghrelin对糖尿病大鼠下丘脑弓状核胃扩张敏感神经元和胃运动的影响。方法:逆行追踪结合免疫组化观察ARC中GHSR-1的表达,细胞外放电记录,观察ghrelin对GD神经元放电活动的影响及电刺激ARC对GD神经元放电活动和胃运动的影响。结果:电生理实验结果表明,在ARC Ghrelin能够能激发GD兴奋性神经元(GD-E)和GD抑制性神经元(GD-I)。然而,ghrelin可以兴奋更少的GD-E神经元,在正常大鼠中ghrelin对于GD-E的兴奋作用比在DM大鼠中的作用弱。在体胃运动研究表明,在ARC中微量注射ghrelin可以明显的增强胃运动,并且呈现剂量依赖关系。Ghrelin在糖尿病大鼠促胃动力作用低于正常大鼠。Ghrelin诱导的效应可被生长激素促分泌素受体(GHSR)拮抗剂阻断[d-lys-3]-GHRP-6或bim28163。放射免疫法和实时荧光定量PCR数据表明胃血浆ghrelin水平,在ARC ghrelin mRNA的表达水平先上升后下降,糖尿病大鼠(DM)中,在ARC中GHSR-1a mRNA表达保持在一个比较低的水平。结论:ghrelin可以调节GD敏感神经元以及胃运动,通过ARC中ghrelin受体。在糖尿病大鼠中,Ghrelin促进胃运动作用减弱可能与ARC中ghrelin受体表达减少有关。     

Autonomous beta-endorphin secretion from the pituitary neurointermediate lobe: in vivo studies

The existence of independent control mechanisms of beta-endorphin (beta-EP) secretion from the anterior (AP) and intermediate (NIL) pituitary lobes is now ascertained. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of surgical separation from the hypothalamus of the two pituitary lobes on beta-EP secretion. Two experimental models of surgical hypothalamo-pituitary disconnection were used: 1) rats with ablation of the medial basal hypothalamus (MBH); 2) rats bearing two entire ectopic pituitaries or two anterior pituitaries (APs) only, transplanted under the kidney capsule. In rats with MBH-ablation plasma beta-EP levels were significantly higher than in sham-operated controls. Plasma beta-EP levels increased in rats transplanted with entire pituitaries 3 days after surgery and were still elevated after 1 week. In rats transplanted with APs only, no significant beta-EP changes in plasma were evident. In both experimental conditions no significant difference was present in beta-LPH plasma levels. Concentrations of beta-EP in the ectopic NILs decreased gradually after transplantation. In all these results indicate that that NIL but not the AP is capable, when is disconnected from the hypothalamus, or secreting autonomously beta-EP.     

冷适应大鼠脑垂体,下丘脑,脾淋巴细胞和血浆β—内啡肽...

Changes of beta-endorphin (beta-EP) and its mRNA in pituitary (P), hypothalamus (HT), lymphocytes (LC) and blood plasma (BP) during cold acclimation of SD male rats were studied by beta-EP mRNA dot blot, RP-HPLC and beta-EP radio-immunoassay (RIA). Experimental results showed: (1) After cold-exposure for 1 week pituitary beta-EP mRNA increased significantly with the appearance of stimulated cellular immune function. (2) beta-EP mRNA in hypothalamic immune center and peripheral LC increased when cold acclimation of animals was established for a cold exposure of 2 weeks (C2W). (3) From C2W onward, plasma beta-EP also continued to increase, indicating an augmented state of cellular immune function. As LC and plasma beta-EP product continued to show increase, pituitary beta-EP mRNA content recovered to control level from C2W onward possibly due to a feedback mechanism through LC-P-HT axis.     

慢性应激性高压大鼠中刺激弓状核引起的压作用

Hypertension was induced by chronic foot-shock and noise stress in adult male Sprague-Dawley rats. Microinjection of 0.3 microliters (150 mmol) sodium glutamate (Glu) into the nucleus arcuatus (ARC) elicited a significant depressor effect in rats with chronic stress-induced hypertension. The depressor effect induced by excitation of ARC neurons was attenuated significantly by microinjection of 0.3 microliters beta-endorphin antiserum (beta-EPAS) into the dorso-medial periaqueductal gray (PAG) or 0.1 microliters into the area of locus coeruleus (LC) due to blockage of beta-endorphinergic fibres from ARC to PAG or LC.     

Plasma beta endorphin immunoreactivity: effects of sustained hyperglycemia with and without prior exercise

Seven healthy untrained men were studied to determine if sustained hyperglycemia is a stimulus to enhanced plasma levels of beta endorphin (beta-EP) and if so whether prior exercise affects that enhancement. After an overnight fast hyperglycemic glucose clamps were performed on 3 separate days: after prior rest, 2 h after exercise, and 48 h after exercise. Subjects exercised on a bicycle ergometer for 1 h at 150 W (64% VO2 max). Plasma glucose concentration was elevated in 4 continuous sequential stages to 7, 11, 20 and 35 mM with each stage lasting 90 min. Plasma glucose concentrations did not differ for each subject across the three clamps. beta-EP immunoreactivity was measured in arterialized venous blood samples using a specific and sensitive radioimmunoassay. Resting beta-EP at basal glucose concentrations was 3.8 +/- 0.7 fmol X ml-1 (mean +/- se) and prior exercise either 2h (3.2 +/- 0.5 fmol X ml-1) or 48 h (4.3 +/- 0.7 fmol X ml-1) before a clamp study did not effect these levels, (p greater than 0.05). At no time during the 3 hyperglycemic clamps did plasma levels of beta-EP differ significantly from resting values. At the highest level of hyperglycemia (35 mM) beta-EP was 3.1 +/- 0.2, 4.9 +/- 0.6 and 4.8 +/- 0.7 fmol X ml-1 in the resting, 2h and 48 h post exercise clamp studies respectively. The significance of these data is that this lack of a response is in distinct contrast to elevations of this peptide found during hypoglycemic states. We conclude that sustained hyperglycemia is not a stimulus to enhanced secretion of beta-EP into plasma and this lack of a response is not effected by prior exercise.     

Excitatory projections from arcuate nucleus to ventrolateral periaqueductal gray in electroacupuncture inhibition of cardiovascular reflexes

We have shown that the modulatory effect of electroacupuncture (EA) on the blood pressure (BP) response induced by visceral organ stimulation is related to inhibition of cardiovascular neurons in the rostral ventrolateral medulla (rVLM) through a mechanism that involves opioids. This effect is long lasting and may involve a long-loop neural supraspinal pathway, including the arcuate nucleus (ARC), which is an important site of opioid neurotransmitter synthesis. Therefore, we evaluated the role of the hypothalamic ARC and its interaction with the midbrain ventrolateral periaqueductal gray (vlPAG) in the EA-BP response. The gallbladder of alpha-chloralose-anesthetized cats was stimulated to test for the influence of EA on splanchnic afferent-induced cardiovascular reflexes. Electrodes were placed around the splanchnic nerve (SN), and acupuncture needles were applied at P5-6 acupoints overlying the median nerve (MN). Electrophysiological recordings showed that spontaneous activity of ARC and vlPAG neurons was low (1.3 +/- 0.5 and 2.0 +/- 0.5 spikes/s, respectively). We observed a gradation of responses of ARC neurons to the stimulation of different acupoints, ranging from uniform responses of all neurons during stimulation of the P5-6, LI4-11, H5-6, and St2-G2 located over deep nerves to fewer responses during stimulation of LI6-7 and G37-39 located over superficial nerves. Microinjection of the excitatory amino acid dl-homocysteic acid (DLH 4 nM, 50 nl) into the ARC augmented the responses of vlPAG neurons, whereas microinjection of kainic acid (KA 1 mM, 50 nl) to deactivate neurons in the ARC decreased vlPAG responses to SN stimulation. Thirty minutes of EA at P5-6 increased the SN-evoked discharge of vlPAG neurons (7.0 +/- 1.2 to 14.3 +/- 3.0 spikes/30 stimuli), a response that was blocked by microinjection of KA into the ARC. Microinjection of DLH into the ARC, like EA, inhibited (30 min) the reflex increase in BP induced by application of bradykinin (BK) to the gallbladder, whereas microinjection of KA into the ARC blocked the inhibitory influence of EA at P5-6 on the BK-induced BP response. These results suggest that excitatory projections from the ARC to the vlPAG are essential to the EA inhibition of the reflex increase in BP induced by SN or gallbladder visceral afferent stimulation.     

Melanocortin signaling is decreased during neurotoxin-induced transient hyperphagia and increased body-weight gain

Hypothalamic neuropeptides play critical roles in the regulation of feeding behavior and body weight (BW). Disruption of signaling in the ventromedial nucleus by microinjection of the neurotoxin, colchicine (COL), produces transient hyperphagia with corresponding BW gain lasting for 4 days. Because the melanocortin system exerts an inhibitory control on food intake, we hypothesized that hyperphagia in COL-treated rats is due to decreased melanocortin-induced restraint on feeding. Melanocortin restraint is exerted through alpha-melanocortin-stimulating hormone derived from proopiomelanocortin (POMC) and is antagonized by agouti-related peptide produced in neurons located in the arcuate nucleus (ARC). COL (4 microg/0.5 microl saline) or saline was microinjected bilaterally into the ventromedial nucleus of adult male rats. In conjunction with BW gain, blood leptin levels were elevated, whereas POMC mRNA in the ARC was significantly decreased in COL-injected rats. Levels of alpha-melanocortin-stimulating hormone were also decreased in the micropunched paraventricular nucleus, dorsomedial nucleus, and perifornical hypothalamus, sites implicated in the control of food intake. That diminution in melanocortin signaling underlies hyperphagia was supported by the observation that intracerebroventricular injection of the MC3/MC4 melanocortin receptor agonist, MTII, prevented the hyperphagia and BW gain. Surprisingly, however, mRNA levels of the orexigenic peptide agouti-related peptide in the ARC were decreased perhaps due to the action of elevated leptin. These results show that transient hyperphagia and BW gain induced by disruption of signaling in the ventromedial nucleus results from two neurochemical rearrangements: development of leptin resistance in POMC neurons and diminution in melanocortin signaling as reflected by decreased POMC gene expression in the ARC and decreased availability of alpha-melanocortin-stimulating hormone for release in feeding relevant sites.
