新的抑癌基因家族--ASPP

P53是重要的抑癌基因之一的产物，其在抑制肿瘤功能的重要方面是诱导凋亡的能力。但多年来P53诱导凋亡的机制还不清楚，最近发现的ASPP蛋白较好的解释了这个问题，ASPP蛋白能和P53结合形成复合物，再作用于原凋亡基因的启动子区域，从而诱导细胞凋亡的发生，ASPP表达水平的改变能影响P53与DNA结合的能力，进而控制细胞是进入凋亡还是进入停滞的途径，影响P53诱导肿瘤抑制的效应。     

一种新的内源性钠泵抑制因子前海葱苷原A样物质在牛体内的分布

为了建立一种蟾蜍二烯羟酸内酯（ｂｕｆａｄｉｅｎｏｌｉｄｅｓ）前海葱苷原Ａ免疫方法，并对哺乳动物体内的前海葱苷原Ａ样物质进行检测，我们制备了兔和羊前海葱苷原Ａ抗体。利用ＥＬＩＳＡ法检测了一种新的内源性钠泵抑制因子前海葱苷原Ａ样物质在牛的肾上腺、丘脑、心脏、肾脏、肝脏、小脑、骨骼肌和血液中的分布。研究发现这种前海葱苷原Ａ样物质在肾上腺及下丘脑的含量高于其它腺体组织，其具有抑制人红细胞８６Ｒｂ摄取的特性，可与前海葱苷原Ａ抗体发生免疫交叉反应，但几乎不与哇巴因抗体交叉反应，是一种新的类固醇激素

是什么因素决定了孕妇即将分娩 ?是胎儿身体的大小 ,还是某种生物活性物质 ?决定因素来自胎儿还是来自母亲 ?长久以来 ,这个悬而未决的问题一直困扰着生殖生理学家们。解决了这一问题就可能为阻止早产发生提供有效的手段。最近研究表明 ,肺泡中的表面活性物质A(SP A)介导了决定     

Nitric Oxide：from a mysterious labile factor to the molecule of the Nobel Prize Recent progress in nitric oxide ressarch

NO is now known to be an important messenger molecule in biology.It regulates a variety of functions within cells and tissues including vasodilation,neurotransmission and immunological process.This review will focus on the nitric oxide synthase gene family and recent progress on molecular genetic analysis of NOS1,NOS2 and NOS3 genes.

电针大鼠的血清中淋巴细胞转化抑制因子的作用机制分析

本室以前的工作表明:电针(2H_z,3V,30min/d)刺激 SD 大鼠双侧足三里-三阴交,5d后,大鼠血清中产生出淋巴细胞转化抑制因子,本工作对此抑制因子的作用机制进行了初步研究,主要结果如下:(1)电针大鼠的血清不仅显著抑制 Con A 刺激的小鼠淋巴结 T 淋巴细胞转化,还可显著抑制 Con A 刺激的小鼠胸腺细胞和脾脏 T 淋巴细胞转化;同时也发现电针大鼠的血清能显著抑制脂多糖(LPS)刺激的小鼠淋巴结 B 淋巴细胞转化。提示此淋巴细胞转化抑制因子对不同淋巴器官及不同类型的淋巴细胞无选择性作用。(2)将电针大鼠的血清同小鼠淋巴结细胞培养1h,电针大鼠的血清就可显著抑制 Con A 刺激的 T 淋巴细胞转化;将小鼠淋巴结细胞同 Con A 预培养30min,电针大鼠的血清的抑制作用便消失,提示电针大鼠血清中淋巴细胞转化抑制因子作用于 Con A 刺激 T 淋巴细胞活化的早期阶段,同时也排除了此抑制因子的细胞毒作用。(3)电针大鼠的血清显著抑制蛋白激酶 C(PKC)激活剂 PMA和 PMA 加 ca~(2+)通道 A23187刺激的小鼠淋巴结细胞转化,提示淋巴细胞转化抑制因子通过抑制 PKC 的活性或抑制 PKC 介导的细胞活化通路,抑制有丝分裂原刺激的淋巴细胞转化。     

热应激时大鼠肺组织中β—肾上腺素受体的变化与膜磷...

To explore the relationship between the change of beta-adrenoceptor and the metabolism of phospholipids in lung tissue from acute heat stressed rats, the Bmax of beta-adrenoceptors, the activity of phospholipase A2 (PLA2), the content of phosphatidylcholine (PC) and phosphatidylserine (PS), and membrane fluidity in lung tissue of normal and heat stressed rats were investigated. The relevant parameter values mentioned above were 479 +/- 94 fmol/mg protein, 78.5 +/- 8.2 U, 53.5 +/- 1.7 mg/g.wet. w. and 425.1 +/- 68.1 micrograms/g.wet. w. respectively. Whereas in the heat stressed rats with rectal temperature raised to 42 degrees C for 15 min, the Bmax of beta-adrenoceptor was decreased by 43% (P less than 0.01), the activity of PLA2 increased by 83% (P less than 0.01), the contents of PC and PS decreased by 50% and 47% (P less than 0.01) respectively. A lower membrane fluidity in lung tissue for heat stressed rats was also demonstrated. The results suggest that the decreased binding sites of beta-adrenoceptor in lung tissue of rat during hyperthermia may be contributed to the activation of PLA2, which then accelerated the catabolism of phospholipids such as PC and PS in the cell plasma membrane, with a consequent alteration of membrane fluidity.
