本研究利用RNAi重组腺病毒(AdR-siPTEN)下调偏头痛大鼠三叉神经节的PTEN(phosphatase and tensin homolog deleted on chromosome ten)基因,探讨其对偏头痛大鼠行为学的影响,以及经Akt(serine-threonine kinase)信号途径对CREB(cAMP responseelement-binding protein)的调控情况。实验采用健康雄性SD大鼠,随机分为假手术组(Sham)、硝酸甘油模型组(GTN)、Ad-RFP非特异siRNA处理空载体对照组(Vehicle+GTN)、AdR-siPTEN下调组(AdR-siPTEN+GTN)。用AdR-siPTEN重组腺病毒对大鼠进行预处理,然后通过硝酸甘油(glyceryl trinitrate,GTN)法建立大鼠偏头痛模型,进行大鼠挠头和爬笼次数的检测,并用RT-PCR和Western-blot法进行相关基因的mRNA和蛋白检测。结果表明,当PTEN基因表达下调时,有效缓解了偏头痛导致的挠头和爬笼行为,并激活Akt信号途径,增加其下游作用因子CREB的表达,进而可能经"PTEN/Akt/CREB"信号通路影响神经突触可塑性,参与了偏头痛的发病机制。  相似文献

本研究为观察穿心莲内酯(AD)对乙醇诱导肝细胞氧化应激损伤的保护作用,体外培养肝细胞L-02,用不同浓度(0~30μmol/L)AD孵育1 h,随后加入100 mmol/L乙醇作用24 h。ELISA测定AD处理前后细胞培养上清中谷丙转氨酶(ALT)和谷草转氨酶(AST)的含量;比色法检测丙二醛(MDA)和谷胱氨肽(GSH)的变化;荧光探针DCFH2-DA检测胞内活性氧(ROS)的产生;Western blotting和分析血红素氧合酶-1(HO-1)m RNA和蛋白的表达。电泳迁移率实验(EMSA)检测核转录因子Nrf2的DNA结合活性。结果表明,100 mmol/L乙醇处理肝细胞后,可在不影响L-02活性的情况下显著增加培养上清中ALT和AST的含量,而AD预处理后可抑制ALT、AST、MDA和ROS的增加以及上调胞内GSH的水平。此外,Western blotting和实时定量PCR结果也证实乙醇可降低肝细胞内源性HO-1的表达,而AD预处理后可增强转录因子Nrf2的活性并进一步上调HO-1的表达水平。AD可能通过激活Nrf2上调HO-1表达而发挥对乙醇所致肝细胞损伤的保护作用。  相似文献

Growing evidence suggests that nitrite, acting via reduction to nitric oxide by deoxyhemoglobin, may play an important role in local control of blood flow during hypoxia. To investigate the effect of hypoxia (65 Torr arterial Po(2)) on the kinetic properties of nitrite, a bolus injection of sodium nitrite (10 mg/kg iv) was given to normoxic or hypoxic newborn lambs, and the time course of plasma nitrite and methemoglobin (MetHb) concentrations was measured. The in vivo kinetics of nitrite disappearance from plasma were biphasic and were not affected by hypoxia. Changes in MetHb, a product of the nitrite-hemoglobin reaction, also did not differ with the level of oxygenation. Hypoxia potentiated the hypotensive effects of nitrite on pulmonary and systemic arterial pressures. The disappearance of nitrite from plasma was equivalent to the increase in MetHb on a molar basis. In contrast, nitrite metabolism in sheep blood in vitro resulted in more than one MetHb per nitrite equivalent under mid- and high-oxygenation conditions: oxyhemoglobin (HbO(2)) saturation = 50.3 +/- 1.7% and 97.0 +/- 1.3%, respectively. Under the low-oxygenation condition (HbO(2) saturation = 5.2 +/- 0.9%), significantly less than 1 mol of MetHb was produced per nitrite equivalent, indicating that a significant portion of nitrite is metabolized through pathways that do not produce MetHb. These data support the idea that the vasodilating effects of nitrite are potentiated under hypoxic conditions due to the reduction of nitrite to nitric oxide by deoxyhemoglobin.  相似文献

Responses to glyceryl trinitrate/nitroglycerin (GTN), S-nitrosoglutathione (GSNO), and sodium nitrite were compared in the intact chest rat. The iv injections of GTN, sodium nitrite, and GSNO produced dose-dependent decreases in pulmonary and systemic arterial pressures. In as much as cardiac output was not reduced, the decreases in pulmonary and systemic arterial pressures indicate that GTN, sodium nitrite, and GSNO have significant vasodilator activity in the pulmonary and systemic vascular beds in the rat. Responses to GTN were attenuated by cyanamide, but not allopurinol, whereas responses to nitrite formed by the metabolism of GTN were attenuated by allopurinol and cyanamide. The results with allopurinol and cyanamide suggest that only mitochondrial aldehyde dehydrogenase is involved in the bioactivation of GTN, sodium nitrite, and GSNO, whereas both pathways are involved in the bioactivation of nitrite anion in the intact rat. The comparison of vasodilator activity indicates that GSNO and GTN are more than 1000-fold more potent than sodium nitrite in decreasing pulmonary and systemic arterial pressures in the rat. Following administration of 1H-[1,2,4]-oxadizaolo[4,3-]quinoxaline-1-one (ODQ), responses to GTN were significantly attenuated, indicating that responses are mediated by the activation of soluble guanylyl cyclase. These data suggest that the reduction of nitrite to nitric oxide formed from the metabolism of GTN, cannot account for the vasodilator activity of GTN in the intact rat and that another mechanism; perhaps the formation of an S-NO, may mediate the vasodilator response to GTN in this species.  相似文献

Metabolism of nitroglycerin (GTN) to 1,2-glycerol dinitrate (GDN) and nitrite by mitochondrial aldehyde dehydrogenase (ALDH2) is essentially involved in GTN bioactivation resulting in cyclic GMP-mediated vascular relaxation. The link between nitrite formation and activation of soluble guanylate cyclase (sGC) is still unclear. To test the hypothesis that the ALDH2 reaction is sufficient for GTN bioactivation, we measured GTN-induced formation of cGMP by purified sGC in the presence of purified ALDH2 and used a Clark-type electrode to probe for nitric oxide (NO) formation. In addition, we studied whether GTN bioactivation is a specific feature of ALDH2 or is also catalyzed by the cytosolic isoform (ALDH1). Purified ALDH1 and ALDH2 metabolized GTN to 1,2- and 1,3-GDN with predominant formation of the 1,2-isomer that was inhibited by chloral hydrate (ALDH1 and ALDH2) and daidzin (ALDH2). GTN had no effect on sGC activity in the presence of bovine serum albumin but caused pronounced cGMP accumulation in the presence of ALDH1 or ALDH2. The effects of the ALDH isoforms were dependent on the amount of added protein and, like 1,2-GDN formation, were sensitive to ALDH inhibitors. GTN caused biphasic sGC activation with apparent EC(50) values of 42 +/- 2.9 and 3.1 +/- 0.4 microm in the presence of ALDH1 and ALDH2, respectively. Incubation of ALDH1 or ALDH2 with GTN resulted in sustained, chloral hydrate-sensitive formation of NO. These data may explain the coupling of ALDH2-catalyzed GTN metabolism to sGC activation in vascular smooth muscle.  相似文献

We present noninvasive, quantitative in vivo measurements of methemoglobin formation and reduction in a rabbit model using broadband diffuse optical spectroscopy (DOS). Broadband DOS combines multifrequency frequency-domain photon migration (FDPM) with time-independent near infrared (NIR) spectroscopy to quantitatively measure bulk tissue absorption and scattering spectra between 600 nm and 1,000 nm. Tissue concentrations (denoted by brackets) of methemoglobin ([MetHb]), deoxyhemoglobin ([Hb-R]), and oxyhemoglobin ([HbO2]) were determined from absorption spectra acquired in "real time" during nitrite infusions in nine pathogen-free New Zealand White rabbits. As little as 30 nM [MetHb] changes were detected for levels of [MetHb] that ranged from 0.80 to 5.72 microM, representing 2.2 to 14.9% of the total hemoglobin content (%MetHb). These values agreed well with on-site ex vivo cooximetry data (r2= 0.902, P < 0.0001, n = 4). The reduction of MetHb to functional hemoglobins was also carried out with intravenous injections of methylene blue (MB). As little as 10 nM changes in [MB] were detectable at levels of up to 150 nM in tissue. Our results demonstrate, for the first time, the ability of broadband DOS to noninvasively quantify real-time changes in [MetHb] and four additional chromophore concentrations ([Hb-R], [HbO2], [H2O], and [MB]) despite significant overlapping spectral features. These techniques are expected to be useful in evaluating dynamics of drug delivery and therapeutic efficacy in blood chemistry, human, and preclinical animal models.  相似文献

As there is strong evidence for inflammation and oxidative stress in depression, the aim of this study was to elucidate the relationship between oxidative imbalance and cellular immune response and to ask whether these processes are linked with iron metabolism in depressed patients. Blood was collected from patients diagnosed with recurrent depressive disorder (n=15) and from healthy controls (n=19). Whole-blood reduced glutathione (GSH), erythrocyte superoxide dismutase (SOD-1), glutathione peroxidase (GPx-1), glutathione reductase, malondialdehyde (MDA), and methemoglobin (MetHb) and plasma H2O2 were assayed spectrophotometrically. The serum heme oxygenase 1 (HO-1), cytokine, neopterin, and iron statuses were measured by ELISA. DNA damage was analyzed by comet assay. Serum concentrations of ferritin and soluble transferrin receptor were assayed by ELISA. MetHb saturation was analyzed spectrophotometrically in red blood cell hemolysate. The erythron variables were measured using a hematological analyzer. We observed a significant decrease in GPx-1 and SOD-1 activities and decreased levels of HO-1 and GSH in depressed patients compared to controls. Conversely, compared with controls, we found increased concentrations of MDA and H2O2 and more DNA damage in depressed patients. Furthermore, the levels of the proinflammatory cytokine interleukin-6 and of neopterin were increased in depressed patients along with decreased hemoglobin and hematocrit. A strong association between antioxidant defense, cytokine levels, and iron homeostasis was also revealed. These findings show that depression is associated with increased oxidative stress, inflammation, and restrictions on the available iron supply for red blood cell production. Furthermore, decreased antioxidant defense correlates with an increased cellular inflammatory response, whereas both concur with erythron and iron status, the latter explained by significant canonical correlations with the set of free radical scavenging enzymes and proinflammatory enzymes. The strong links between immune function, oxidative stress, and iron homeostasis suggest the presence of a self-sustaining multipathway mechanism that may progressively worsen, i.e., throughout accumulation of oxidative damage, producing the functional and structural consequences associated with depression. Hence, identifying viable therapeutic strategies to tackle oxidative stress and accompanying physiological disturbances, including inflammation and anemia, of chronic disease provides more opportunities for the treatment and, ultimately, prevention of depression.  相似文献

Bacteria capable of metabolizing highly explosive and vasodilatory glycerol trinitrate (GTN) were isolated under aerobic and nitrogen-limiting conditions from soil, river water, and activated sewage sludge. One of these strains (from sewage sludge) chosen for further study was identified as Agrobacterium radiobacter subgroup B. A combination of high-pressure liquid chromatography and nuclear magnetic resonance analyses of the culture medium during the growth of A. radiobacter on basal salts-glycerol-GTN medium showed the sequential conversion of GTN to glycerol dinitrates and glycerol mononitrates. Isomeric glycerol 1,2-dinitrate and glycerol 1,3-dinitrate were produced simultaneously and concomitantly with the disappearance of GTN, with significant regioselectivity for the production of the 1,3-dinitrate. Dinitrates were further degraded to glycerol 1- and 2-mononitrates, but mononitrates were not biodegraded. Cells were also capable of metabolizing pentaerythritol tetranitrate, probably to its trinitrate and dinitrate analogs. Extracts of broth-grown cells contained an enzyme which in the presence of added NADH converted GTN stoichiometrically to nitrite and the mixture of glycerol dinitrates. The specific activity of this enzyme was increased 160-fold by growth on GTN as the sole source of nitrogen.  相似文献

Haemoglobin, methaemoglobin, blood nitrite concentration and acid-base balance were measured in European eel Anguilla anguilla following exposure to 0 (control), 0·142, 0·356, 0·751 and l·549 mM nitrite in fresh water for 24 h. Blood GOT (glutamate oxaloacetate transaminase) and GPT (glutamate pyruvate transaminase) activities and whole animal ammonia-N and urea-N excretions were also measured. Blood nitrite, methaemoglobin, PO 2 (oxygen partial pressure), GOT, and whole animal ammonia-N excretion and urea-N excretion increased directly with increasing ambient nitrite concentrations, whereas blood pH, PCO 2, and HCO3 were inversely related to ambient nitrite concentration. An accumulation of nitrite in the blood of A. anguilla following 24 h exposure to elevated ambient nitrite as low as 0·751 mM increased its blood methaemoglobin, PO 2, GOT and nitrogen excretion, but decreased its PCO 2 (carbon dioxide partial pressure), HCO3 and functional haemoglobin.  相似文献

A placebo and a low and a high dose of dexamethasone (Dex) were administered for 4.5 days, at 3-wk intervals, to 24 healthy men, following a double-blind, random-order, crossover procedure. After the last dose the subjects performed a maximal cycling exercise, during which respiratory exchanges, electrocardiogram, and blood pressures were monitored. Blood was sampled just before and after each exercise bout. Dex showed no significant effect on fitness, sleep, exhaustion during exercise, maximal O(2) consumption, ventilatory threshold, maximal blood lactate, or rest and exercise blood pressures. On the contrary, both doses of Dex significantly decreased heart rate at rest and during maximal exercise. Blood glucose at rest was higher after both doses of Dex than after placebo; the opposite was found during exercise. Blood levels of ACTH, beta-endorphin, cortisol, and cortisol-binding globulin were lowered by Dex at rest and after exercise. Dex stimulated the increase in atrial natriuretic factor during exercise and lowered rest and postexercise aldosterone. Finally, no difference between "fit or trained" and "less fit or untrained" subjects could be found with respect to Dex effects.  相似文献

Evidence concerning the importance of angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) genotype in cardiovascular diseases is accumulating. The aim of this study was to investigate if nitric oxide (NO), generated from glyceryl trinitrate (GTN), affects human serum ACE activity in vivo, and if so, whether this effect was dependent on ACE genotype and (or) reflected in blood pressure reduction. A tablet containing 5 mg GTN was bucally administered for 5 minutes to 17 healthy volunteers. Blood pressure (BP) was recorded, and serum ACE activity, ACE genotype, and plasma cGMP was analyzed. GTN administration significantly reduced BP only in individuals with the deletion/deletion (DD) genotype. Sixty minutes after GTN administration, serum ACE activity was reduced in individuals with the insertion/insertion (II) and insertion/deletion (ID) genotypes, but not the DD genotype. Comparing the change in ACE activity over time between the genotypes resulted in the following: II vs. DD, p < 0.01; II vs. ID, p < 0.05; and ID vs. DD, p < 0.05. There was no significant difference in plasma cGMP content neither between the ACE genotypes nor before and after GTN administration. In conclusion, GTN inhibits serum ACE in vivo in individuals with the II and ID, but not the DD genotype.  相似文献

We have demonstrated that a filamentous fungus Phanerochaete chrysosporium converts glyceryl trinitrate (GTN) into its di- and mononitrate derivatives concurrently with the formation of nitric oxide detected by electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR), and the formation of nitrite. The metabolisms of nitrite and nitrate by the fungus are evaluated and taken into account when considering GTN degradation. Lack of evidence for nitrate formation from GTN suggests that an esterase-type activity is not involved. Furthermore, the kinetics of appearance of the hemoprotein-NO and non-heme protein-NO (FeS-NO) complexes indicate that an enzymatic process producing NO directly from GTN may be involved concurrently with a glutathione transferase-like system.  相似文献
