组胺H2受体拮抗剂对骨髓造血重建的影响

用组胺H_2受体拮抗剂(甲氰咪胍或呋喃硝胺)处理正常和亚致死量γ-射线照射小鼠,探讨正常体内造血和再生骨髓中造血重建与组胺受体的关系。发现非毒性剂量的甲氰咪胍对正常小鼠骨髓多能造血干细胞(CFU-s)无抑制作用,但可抑制小鼠体内粒单系祖细胞(CFU-GM)的生长和亚致死量照射后CFU-s产率的恢复。组胺可能与骨髓的再生有关,组胺H_2受体拮抗剂可抑制骨髓的造血重建。     

氨甲酰胆碱和Impromidine对CFU—S细胞周期的影响

正常情况下处于S期的CFU-S比例低于10％。氨甲酰胆碱(Cach 10~(-13)—10~(-9)mol/L)和Impromidine(Impro 10~(-9)—10~(-4)mol/L)在体外与小鼠骨髓细胞短时培育后,增加了CFU-S对细胞毒剂羟基脲的敏感性。反应最大时,9d和13dCFU-S的减少率分别是32.8和60.6％(Cach)以及38.4和49.5％(Impro)。这种效应可分别被胆碱能N受体阻断剂筒箭毒(10~(-6)mol/L)和组胺H_2受体阻断剂甲氰咪呱(10~(-6)mol/L)所阻断,表明9d和13d CFU-S表面胆碱能N受体和组胺H_2受体的密度或活性存在差别,再次证实了CFU-S是一个不均一的细胞群。     

Construction and packaging of pseudotype retrovirus containing human N—ras cDNA antisense sequence and its biological effects on human hepatoma cells

N-ras is one of the transforming genes in human hepatic cancer cells.It has been found that N-ras was overexpressed at the mRNA and protein level in hepatoma cells.In order to explore the biological roles of N-ras in human hepatic carcinogenesis and the potential application in control of cancer cell growth,a preudotype retrovirus containing antisense sequence of human N-ras was constructed and packaged.A recombinant retrovirus vector containing antisense or sense sequences of N-ras cDNA was constructed by pZIP-NeoSV(X)1.The pseudotype virus was packaged ang rescued by transfection and infection in PA317 and ψ 2 helper cells.It has been demonstrated that the pseudotype retrovirus containing antisense N-ras sequence did inhibit the growth of human PLC/PRF/5 hepatoma cells accompanied with inhibition of p21 expression,while the retrovirus containing sense sequence had none.The pseudotype virus had no effect on human diploid fibroblasts.     

杉木雌配子体与后胚发育过程中核酸、蛋白质和类脂的消长

在杉木胚胎分化期至成熟期,每个雌配子体总核酸和DNA,RNA含量在初期增加,后期则随着胚的分化发育逐渐下降,而蛋白质和类脂则一直上升。每胚总核酸、DNA,RNA则相应增加,而蛋白质、类脂的含量和干重亦逐渐增加。在胚分化早期RNA的迅速合成与细胞的分化及器官形成有关。但以胚干重为单位的DNA、RNA含量却随着胚的发育而有所减少;蛋白质含量先增加,至成熟后才下降。授粉前的胚珠,以及雌配子体、胚中都发现有凝集素存在。     

天麻消化紫萁小菇及蜜环菌过程中细胞超微结构变化的研究

本文对天麻种子消化入侵的紫萁小菇菌丝及营养繁殖茎消化蜜环菌过程中,细胞超微结构的变化进行了研究。观察结果表明:紫萁小菇侵入种胚后,染菌胚细胞的细胞器逐渐消失,其细胞质产生囊状体起消化菌丝的作用,存在于胚细胞中的紫萁小菇菌丝有脱壁或失去细胞质成为空腔等变化;种子萌发形成的原球茎消化紫萁小菇的方式同胚萌发阶段类同。蜜环菌侵入原球茎分化的营养繁殖茎后,皮层细胞产生消化酶类颗粒或囊状体包围并分解蜜环菌菌丝;被皮层细胞消化的菌丝残物或部分菌丝进入皮层内面的大型细胞,此时大型细胞的代谢功能显著增强,该细胞中的各种水解酶颗粒及液泡等完成对菌体物质的最终同化。紫萁小菇及蜜环菌先后在天麻有性繁殖和无性繁殖阶段侵染供给其营养,但菌丝被消化过程中的细胞形态变化、被消化方式不完全一致。     

白细胞介素－2中枢镇痛作用途径的探讨

抗ＩＬ－２受体α亚基的单克隆抗体不能阻断ＩＬ－２的中枢镇痛作用,以及丧失与ＩＬ－２受体β亚基结合能力的ＩＬ－２突变体仍具有提高大鼠痛阈的能力,这表明ＩＬ－２的中枢镇痛作用并不是通过ＩＬ－２受体所介导,亦表示ＩＬ－２的免疫和镇痛作用是通过不同的受体途径实现的。加之内源性阿片肽与ＩＬ－２分子有着共同的抗原决定基和结构相似性,提示ＩＬ－２可以与阿片受体直接结合产生中枢镇痛效应。从放射免疫法测定的ＩＬ－２侧脑室注射后不同时间大鼠脑内不同核团的内源性阿片肽含量,推测ＩＬ－２的中枢镇痛作用可能还与弓状核、室旁核、蓝斑等核团的β－ＥＰ和ＬＥＫ有关。     

电针引起脊髓P物质释放的频率依赖性

我室以往的研究表明,不同频率的电针可引起脊髓释放不同种类的阿片肽。本工作观察Ｐ物质（ＳＰ）释放的频率依赖性,电针频率选择２,４,８,１５,３０和１００Ｈｚ,分别收集电针期间及电针前后各３０ｍｉｎ的脊髓灌流液,通过放射免疫方法测定大鼠电针有效组和电针无效组Ｐ物质免疫活性（ＳＰ－ｉｒ）．结果如下：（１）电针有效组：２Ｈｚ引起ＳＰ－ｉｒ降低,与电针前相比,Ｐ＜０．０１;４Ｈｚ电针前后ＳＰ－ｉｒ比较,无统计学意义;８,１５,３０,１００Ｈｚ时ＳＰ－ｉｒ均增加（Ｐ＜０．０１）,其中１５Ｈｚ时ＳＰ增加最多（Ｐ＜０．００１）,表明刺激引起ＳＰ释放有频率依赖性。（２）电针无效组：不论应用何种频率,电针前后脊髓灌流液中ＳＰ－ｉｒ变化不大（均Ｐ＞０．０５）。提示,电针时脊髓液中ＳＰ含量变化与镇痛效果有密切关系。     

氧自由基对大鼠心肌α1肾上腺素受体及其亚型的影响

采用放射配体结合方法观察外源性氧自由基对大鼠心肌α_１肾上腺素受体（α_１受体）及其亚型α_（１Ａ）与α_（１Ｂ）的影响和对β肾上腺素受体（β受体）的影响。发现：（１）·ＯＨ,使α_１受体与~（１２５）ＩＢＥ２２５４最大结合量（Ｂ_（ｍａｘ））分别下降５５％与３６％。（２）·ＯＨ可使α_１受体与~（１２５）ＩＢＥ２２５４结合的Ｋ_ｄ值增高１７１％,而对Ｋ_ｄ值无影响。（３）·ＯＨ,均使α_１受体亚型α_（１Ａ）与α_（１Ｂ）之间的比例增加。（４）·ＯＨ,对β受体与~（１２５）ＩＰＩＮ最大结合量Ｂ_（ｍａｘ）和Ｋ_ｄ值均无影响。（５）氧自由基清除剂甘露醇或超氧化物歧化酶均可对抗氧自由基引起α_１受体及其亚型的改变。上述结果提示,氧自由基可直接作用于心肌膜,引起α_１受体数量和亲和性下降,α_１受体亚型α_（１Ａ）与α_（１Ｂ）之间的比例改变。     

细胞外Ca^2＋内流入胞质的机制

细胞外Ｃａ＾２＋主要是通过塌压依赖性Ｃａ＾２＋通道和钙池耗竭依赖性Ｃａ＾２＋通道而内流的。前者主要见于电兴奋细胞,这一过程比较清楚;后者主要见非兴奋细胞,情况远较复杂：外来信号激活内贮钙池,钙池在释放Ｃａ＾２＋同时通过目前尚不清楚的途径将直接或间接传至质膜Ｃａ＾２＋通道,而诱发Ｃａ＾２＋内流。     

INHIBITION OF CATALASE IN MESENCEPHALIC CULTURES BY l-DOPA AND DOPAMINE

Catalase activity in cell cultures of fetal rat mesencephalon was decreased by 42 and 50%, respectively, after exposure to l-3,4-dihydroxyphenylalanine (l-DOPA, 100 μM) or dopamine (100 μM) for 48 h. Catalase activity was also decreased 21% by 10 μM hydroquinone. Ascorbic acid (200 μM), an agent that suppresses the autoxidation of l-DOPA and dopamine, blocked the anti-catalase effect of l-DOPA, but not that of dopamine. Inhibitors of the A and B forms of monoamine oxidase (20 μM clorgyline plus 20 μM pargyline) had no effect on the anti-catalase action of either l-DOPA or dopamine. The latter results suggest that products of the oxidative deamination of dopamine by monoamine oxidase are not involved in the suppression of catalase activity. However, autoxidation reactions of l-DOPA may play a role since ascorbate suppressed the anti-catalase effect of l-DOPA. On the contrary, the basis for the failure of ascorbate to similarly block the anti-catalase effect of dopamine is uncertain. l-DOPA and dopamine (25 μM) also inhibited crystalline catalase in solution after incubation for 1 h at neutral pH (40–50% inhibition). Inhibition was blocked by 0.45 M ethanol, indicating a need for autoxidation and the formation of compound II, which is an enzymatically inactive form of catalase. The ability to model the enzyme inhibition in purely chemical experiments indicates a probable mechanism for loss of enzymatic activity in cell cultures. Inhibition of catalase may contribute to cell damage during incubation of cultures with l-DOPA, dopamine, or other autoxidizable compounds. Copyright © 1996 Elsevier Science Ltd
