In Situ Microdialysis for Monitoring of Extracellular Glutathione Levels in Normal, Ischemic and Post-Ischemic Skeletal Muscle

Microdialysis probes were inserted into the tibialis anterior muscle and into the femoral vein of anaesthetised Sprague-Dawley rats for monitoring of reduced (GSH) and oxidized (GSSG) extracellular glutathione. The dialysates were analysed using HPLC. The levels of GSH and GSSG were high immediately after implantation in the skeletal muscle and declined to steady state levels after 90 minutes into the same range as that found in the venous dialysate. Total ischemia was induced two hours after implantation of the dialysis probe after steady state levels had been reached. The extracellular levels of GSH increased during total ischemia and had doubled at the end of the ischemic period compared to preischemic values. During the following initial 30 minutes of reperfusion the levels increased further to four-fold the preischemic levels. The levels of GSSG also increased (100%) during the initial 30 minutes of reperfusion. The extracellular GSH levels remained elevated for 1 hour of reperfusion, but the GSSG levels returned to preischemic levels. The results indicate that intermittent hypoxia or anoxia in muscle tissue through hypoperfusion or ischemia decreases intracellular GSH stores by leakage, reducing the intracellular antioxidative capacity and increasing the risk for oxidative reperfusion injury upon final normalization of tissue blood supply.     

通过染色体外同源重组建立乳腺中表达外源基因的转基因小鼠

为研究染色体外重组方法在创建转基因动物中的应用,选取牛asl酪蛋白基因的5′及3′侧翼区和氯霉素乙酰化酶编码区,构建了两个具有3 kb相互重叠的融合基因.将这两个DNA片段末端脱磷酸后,以摩尔比1:1的比例混合,通过显微注射导入小鼠受精原核,最后获得了11个品系的转基因小鼠.对其中10个品系的小鼠的整合分析表明,所注射的两个DNA片段均发生了染色体外同源重组,而且除了 1个品系的小鼠丢失了大约1kb的序列外,其余品系小鼠的重组产物与预想的结构符合.在当代和后代的转基因小鼠乳汁中均可测到氯霉素乙酰化酶的活性.这表明融合基因在转基因小鼠乳腺中得到表达和分泌,也说明显微共注射两个相互重叠的基因片段是建立转基因动物的一个可行途径.     

龙血树真菌群及其对血竭形成的影响

从柬埔寨龙血树（Ｄｒａｃａｅｎａｃｏｃｈｉｎｃｈｉｎｅｎｓｉｓ）茎杆中分离到３０３株真菌,其中镰刀菌属（Ｆｕｓａｒｉｕｍ）菌株占总分离频率的５２％,其次是短梗霉（Ａｕｒｅｏｂａｓｉｄｉｕｍ）和枝孢霉（Ｃｌａｄｏｓｐｏｒｉｕｍ）。通过活体接种对血竭产生的影响试验表明,对血竭形成起重要作用的真菌主要是禾谷镰刀菌龙血树变种（Ｆ．ｇｒａｍｉｎｕｍｖａｒ．ｄｒａｃａｅｎａ）等４株红色镰刀菌,可使血竭形成量提高６６％－１２０％。     

Physical map of the genome of Treponema pallidum subsp. pallidum (Nichols).

A physical map of the chromosome of Treponema pallidum subsp. pallidum (Nichols), the causative agent of syphilis, was constructed from restriction fragments produced by NotI, SfiI, and SrfI. These rare-cutting restriction endonucleases cleaved the T. pallidum genome into 16, 8, and 15 fragments, respectively. Summation of the physical lengths of the fragments indicates that the chromosome of T. pallidum subsp. pallidum is approximately 1,030 to 1,080 kbp in size. The physical map was constructed by hybridizing a variety of probes to Southern blots of single and double digests of T. pallidum genomic DNA separated by contour-clamped homogeneous electric field electrophoresis. Probes included cosmid clones constructed from T. pallidum subsp. pallidum genomic DNA, restriction fragments excised from gels, and selected genes. Physical mapping confirmed that the chromosome of T. pallidum subsp. pallidum is circular, as the SfiI and SrfI maps formed complete circles. A total of 13 genes, including those encoding five membrane lipoproteins (tpn47, tpn41, tpn29-35, tpn17, and tpn15), a putative outer membrane porin (tpn50), the flagellar sheath and hook proteins (flaA and flgE), the cytoplasmic filament protein (cfpA), 16S rRNA (rrnA), a major sigma factor (rpoD), and a homolog of cysteinyl-tRNA synthetase (cysS), have been localized in the physical map as a first step toward studying the genetic organization of this noncultivable pathogen.     

Trypsin complexed with α1-proteinase inhibitor has an increased structural flexibility

Mutant rat trypsin Asp¹⁸⁹Ser was prepared and complexed with highly purified human α₁-proteinase inhibitor. The complex formed was purified to homogeneity and studied by N-terminal amino acid sequence analysis and limited proteolysis with bovine trypsin. As compared to uncomplexed mutant trypsin, the mutant enzyme complexed with α₁-proteinase inhibitor showed a highly increased susceptibility to enzymatic digestion. The peptide bond selectively attacked by bovine trypsin was identified as the Arg¹¹⁷-Val¹¹⁸ one of trypsin. The structural and mechanistic relevance of this observation to serine proteinase-substrate and serine proteinase-serpin reactions are discussed.

Trypsin and forskolin decrease the sensitivity of L-type calcium current to inhibition by cytoplasmic free calcium in guinea pig heart muscle cells.

A key feature of trypsin action on ionic membrane currents including L-type Ca2+ current (ICa) is the removal of inactivation upon intracellular application. Here we report that trypsin also occludes the resting cytoplasmic free Ca2+ ([Ca2+]i)-induced inhibition of peak ICa in isolated guinea pig ventricular cardiomyocytes, using the whole-cell patch clamp in combination with the Fura-2 ratio-fluorescence technique. The effectiveness of trypsin to guard ICa against [Ca2+]i-induced inhibition was compared with that of forskolin, as cAMP-dependent phosphorylation had been suggested to confer protection against [Ca2+]i-induced inactivation. Intracellular dialysis of trypsin (1 mg/ml) augmented ICa by 7.2-fold, significantly larger than the threefold increase induced by forskolin (3 microM). Forskolin application after trypsin dialysis did not further enhance ICa. An increase in [Ca2+]i from resting levels (varied by 0.2, 10, and 40 mM EGTA dialysis) to submicromolar concentrations after replacement of external Na+ (Na(o)+) with tetraethylammonium (TEA+) resulted in monotonic inhibition of control ICa, elicited from a holding potential of -40 mV at 22 degrees C. AFter trypsin dialysis, however, ICa became less sensitive to submicromolar [Ca2+]i; the [Ca2+]i of half-maximal inhibition (K0.5, normally around 60 nM) increased by approximately 20-fold. Forskolin also increased the K0.5 by approximately threefold. These and accompanying kinetic data on ICa decay are compatible with a model in which it is assumed that Ca2+ channels can exist in two modes (a high open probability "willing" and a low open probability "reluctant" mode) that are in equilibrium with one another. An increase in [Ca2+]i places a larger fraction of channels in the reluctant mode. This interconversion is hindered by cAMP-dependent phosphorylation and becomes nearly impossible after tryptic digestion.
