家兔伏核—杏仁核神经通路在吗啡镇痛中的作用

用辐射热照射家兔鼻嘴侧部皮肤,测量其躲避反应潜伏期作为痛反应阈,简称痛阈。通过预先埋植的慢性套管向伏核或杏仁核内进行注射,结果表明:(1)在家兔的伏核内微量注射吗啡可产生镇痛作用,该作用可被杏仁核内注射纳洛酮所削弱,并有量效依从关系;在杏仁核内注射甲啡肽抗血清(ME AS)或β-內啡肽抗血清(β-EP AS)亦可削弱上述镇痛作用;(2)在杏仁核内微量注射吗啡可产生镇痛作用,此作用不能被伏核内注射纳洛酮所阻断;(3)在伏核内注射吗啡所产生的镇痛作用可被同一部位注射γ-氨基丁酸(GAEA)受体阻断剂氯甲基荷包牡丹碱所增强,被 GABA 受体激动剂异鹅羔胺所削弱。上述结果提示:在家兔脑内从伏核到杏仁核可能存在一条与镇痛有关的神经通路,伏核内的阿片样物质及杏仁核内的甲啡肽,β-内啡肽可能参与镇痛信息的传递,而伏核内的 GABA 可能有对抗吗啡镇痛的作用。     

钙离子对小鼠电针镇痛和吗啡镇痛影响的相似性

本工作以小鼠为对象研究了脑 Ca~(2 )水平与吗啡及电针镇痛的相互关系。脑室内注射杆菌肽和亮-脑啡肽能增强电针镇痛,后者可被腹腔注射 Ca~(2 )对抗。用多巴胺受体激动剂阿朴吗啡和拮抗剂氟派啶预处理并不改变 Ca~(2 )对电针镇痛的对抗作用,这表示脑内多巴胺类似不直接参与 Ca~(2 )对抗电针镇痛的作用。Ca~(2 )对抗电针镇痛和吗啡镇痛的时程十分相似。所有的结果表明,吗啡镇痛与电针镇痛的机理很可能是相同的。     

家兔中脑导水管周围灰质中注射八肽胆囊收缩素(CCK-8)拮抗吗啡镇痛和电针镇痛

家兔单侧PAG内注射CCK-83ng,能使静脉注射4mg/kg吗啡引起的镇痛作用降低73％或使电针镇痛效果降低67％。在1.5—6.0ng范围内呈量效关系。无硫的CCK-8无此作用。PAG内注射CCK受体拮抗剂proglumide 4μg可翻转CCK-8的抗吗啡镇痛作用。说明PAG部位注射外源性CCK-8可通过CCK受体对抗阿片镇痛。 PAG内注射CCK-8抗血清可显著增强静脉注射2mg/kg吗啡的镇痛效果。PAG内注射CCK抗血清本身也能引起痛阈轻度升高。说明PAG内有内源性的CCK-8发挥紧张性的抗阿片镇痛作用。     

家兔伏核注射吗啡引起的镇痛可被中脑导水管周围灰质注射纳洛酮或甲啡肽抗体所阻断

本实验室以往的资料表明,在家兔中脑导水管周围灰质(PAG)到伏核之间存在一条与镇痛有夫的神经通路,该通路以5-羟色胺(5-HT)和甲啡肽(ME)为其递质。本工作进一步探讨从伏核到PAG的下行镇痛通路。 以辐射热照射家兔嘴侧部皮肤,测量其躲避反应的潜伏期(ERL)作为痛反应阈,简称痛阈。通过预先埋植的慢性套管向伏核内微量注射吗啡,20min后向PAG内双侧注射纳洛酮(NX)或脑啡肽抗血清,观察ERL的变化。(1)伏核内注射吗啡20μg/1μl,引起ERL升高80％以上,作用持续50min以上。(2)PAG内注射NX(每侧0.5、1.0或2.0μg)可不同程度地阻断伏核内注射吗啡的镇痛效应,且呈明显的剂效关系。(3)PAG内注入甲啡肽抗血清(每侧1μl)可部分阻断伏核内注射吗啡的镇痛效应,而注入亮啡肽抗血清或正常兔血清则无效。 实验结果提示,从伏核到PAG存在一条下行镇痛通路,在PAG内可能以ME为其递质。该通路与PAG到伏核的上行镇痛通路构成一个环形的“中脑边缘镇痛回路”,并在针刺镇痛和吗啡镇痛中发挥重要作用。     

大鼠杏仁核内注射八肽胆囊收缩素（CCK—8）拮抗吗啡镇痛的研究

大鼠双侧杏仁核内注射ＣＣＫ－８１ｎｇ（１μｌ）,能明显降低皮下注射４ｍｇ／ｋｇ吗啡产生的镇痛作用,并在０．１－１ｎｇ范围内呈量效关系。分别向双侧仁核注射ＣＣＫ－Ａ受体拮抗剂Ｄｅｖａｚｅｐｉｄｅ５０ｎｇ能部分翻转,２００ｎｇ则完全翻转ＣＣＫ－８的抗吗啡镇痛作用,１０ｎｇ无效;而ＣＣＫ－Ｂ受体拮抗剂Ｌ－３６５,２６０在５－８ｎｇ时即可完全番转ＣＣＫ－８的抗吗啡镇痛作用。杏仁核注射２００ｎｇ的Ｄｅｖａｚ     

孤啡肽在大鼠脑内对抗吗啡镇痛

脑内全新的阿片受体样受体（１９９４）及其内源性配体孤啡肽（１９９５）的发现形成了中枢神经系统阿片／抗阿片相互关系的研究领域中一个新的推动力。基于它们与阿片家族的高同源性及在脑内痛觉整合相关区域的丰富表达,本实验观察了ＯＦＱ在大鼠脑内对吗啡镇痛作用的影响。结果表明：（１）ＯＦＱ可以对抗脑室注射生理盐水引起的镇痛,后者可能是一种由内源性阿片系统介导的应激镇痛。（２）脑室注射ＯＦＱ在很大的剂量范围（４０     

镇痛多肽——内吗啡肽-1的人工合成及活性研究

 用液相合成方法合成了具有镇痛作用的μ阿片受体的内源性配体——内吗啡肽 - 1(endomorphin- 1 ) ,该四肽为 Tyr- Pro- Trp- Phe NH2 .液相合成法是在氨基酸的 N端用 Boc(叔丁氧羰酰基 )作保护基 ,C端用 HOSu(N-羟基琥珀酰亚胺 )活化 ,与未加保护基的氨基酸在碱性条件下接肽 .先分别合成 C端二肽和 N端二肽 ,再缩合为四肽 ,产物的保护基用盐酸脱帽去除 .中间产物用薄层层析和熔点鉴定其纯度 ,最终得到了高纯度的四肽 .小白鼠脑室注射 (i.c.v)测定表明 ,8.2 5nmol剂量给药 ,其镇痛活性为 87% ,明显高于吗啡 (morphine) .     

抑制伏核内脑啡肽的降解使电针镇痛和吗啡镇痛得到加强

将“脑啡肽酶”抑制剂 Thiorphan 或氨肽酶抑制剂 Bestatin 经慢性埋植套管注入家兔一侧状核内,观察到明显的镇痛作用,在1—4μg 范围内呈现明确的剂量-效应关系。该作用可为伏核内注射纳洛酮或甲啡肽抗体所完全翻转,亮啡肽抗体则无效。表明伏核内注射 Thior-Phan 或 Bestatn 所产生的镇痛效应主要是通过甲啡肽而完成的。伏核内注射微量 Thiorphan 或 Bestatin 使电针镇痛的后效应明显加强,并能增强吗啡的镇痛作用。表明电针和吗啡的镇痛效果至少有一部分是通过在伏核内释放出脑啡肽(特别是甲啡肽)而实现的。     

脊髓中的甲啡肽和强啡肽参与吗啡下行镇痛

在大鼠中脑导水管周围灰质(PAG)注射吗啡10μg 可引起明显的镇痛作用,并有部位特异性。在脊髓蛛网膜下腔注射抗甲啡肽 IgG20μg 或抗强啡肽 IgG20μg,均能大部分对抗 PAG内注射吗啡引起的镇痛作用,这提示甲啡肽和强啡肽参与自 PAG 到脊随的下行抑制作用。本实验利用蛋白质 A-琼脂糖 CL-4B 亲和层析柱从血清中纯化 IgG,这种方法简单,提纯速度快,且 IgG 纯度高,为中枢微量注射抗体研究神经肽的生理功能提供了方便。     

The pharmacology of endorphin modulation of chick distress vocalization

Intraventricular injections of beta-endorphin, gamma-endorphin and alpha-endorphin were demonstrated to reduce isolation-induced distress vocalization on 2-4 day old chicks in a dose response manner at doses as small as 12.5 picomoles (pmol). beta-Endorphin was more potent than the other peptides and morphine, while Met-enkephalin was without effect. However, the D-Ala2 substituted form of Met-enkephalin was as potent as morphine. None of the opioid peptides was effective when injected peripherally in doses of 400 pmol/g body weight. Extension of the interval between injection and behavioral observation from 4 minutes eliminated the ability of alpha- and gamma-endorphin to reduce the peeps. Specificity of the opioid effect was determined by testing intraventricular injections (200 pmol) of 9 other endogenously found peptides. Somatostatin, vasoactive intestinal peptide, and human pancreatic peptide reduced the vocalizations modestly, while alpha-MSH reliably increased them.     

A spinal site mediates opiate analgesia in frogs

The application of acetic acid to the hind leg of a frog will induce a spinally mediated wiping reflex only if the acetic acid concentration is above a certain threshold. By using this reflex as the basis of a test for nociception, we show that morphine sulfate is a potent analgesic in the frog when injected into the lumbar area of the spinal cord. Significant analgesia is induced within 5 min after injection of as little as 0.0316 μg of morphine sulfate. Low doses of morphine sulfate (0.0316 or 0.1 μg) induce analgesia which dissipates within 1 h while for higher doses (0.316, 1.0 or 3.16 μg) the analgesia persists for at least 3 h. The analgesic effect of 0.316 μg of morphine sulfate is completely blocked by naloxone HCl at either 0.158 or 0.316 μg. Animals receiving naloxone alone (0.316 μg) appear to be slightly hyperalgesic compared to saline injected controls but this effect is not significant.     

Biological distribution of 99mTc-labeled YIGSR and IKVAV laminin peptides in rodents: 99mTc-IKVAV peptide localizes to the lung

Two laminin-derived peptides containing either YIGSR or IKVAV (single amino acid code) sequences were radiolabeled with ^99mTc and their biological distribution evaluated in rodents. Both ^99mTC-peptides cleared rapidly from the circulation though the kidney, and to a lesser extent, through the liver. ^99mTC-YIGSR peptide did not accumulate in any organ examined in normal, tumored, and emphysemic mice. The ^99mTc-IKVAV peptide localized within 10 min to the lung of normal animals, resulting in lung-to-blood ratios of approximately 23:1. The ^99mTc-IKVAV peptide localized to lung after submicron filtration and after intraperitoneal injection, suggesting that particulates do not play a major role in localization. Pre-incubation of ^99mTc-IKVAV peptide in whole blood decreased lung localization, suggesting that margination of radiolabeled blood cells does not play a major role in the lung localization. When ^99mTc-IKVAV was injected into mice with tumored lungs (melanoma), the lung uptake was markedly increased (up to 20% injected dose higher than control lungs) at all time points examined (10, 30, and 120 min). When ^99mTc-IKVAV was injected into mice with genetic emphysema, the lung uptake was markedly decreased at all time points. The localization of the ^99mTc-IKVAV-containing peptide to the lung is consistent with a receptor-based mechanism.     

A comparison of the analgesic and behavioral effects of [D-Ala2] Met-enkepha-linamide and morphine in the mesencephalic reticular formation of rats.

[D-Ala²]Met-enkephalinamide (DALA) injected intracerebrally (IC) at low doses into specific sites of the mesencephalic reticular formation (MRF), produced a profound, long-lasting analgesia that was blocked by naloxone, a specific opiate antagonist. Morphine was only half as potent as DALA because morphine, injected IC at similar sites in the MRF, yielded a comparable analgesia only when injected at twice the dose. The analgesic effects of morphine were also antagonized by naloxene. Both DALA and morphine produced specific behavioral effects. Naloxone blocked the behavioral effects of DALA, but not those produced by morphine.     

A novel class of peptide found in scorpion venom with neurodepressant effects in peripheral and central nervous system of the rat

A novel toxin, named Cll9, was isolated from the venom of the scorpion Centruroides limpidus limpidus Karsch. It is composed of 63 amino acid residues closely packed by four disulfide bridges. It showed no apparent effect when injected to insects, crustaceans and i.p. to mice. However, when i.c.v. injected in the rat it immediately induced sleep, suggesting that it has a neurodepressant effect. We confirmed this by showing that it has a strong antiepileptic action, as assessed with the penicillin focus model. Its effectiveness in inhibiting Na(+) permeability in (cultured) rat peripheral ganglia further supports its neurodepressant actions. However, this peptide did not affect other Na(+) channels such as those from cerebellum granular cells in culture or the rSkM1 Na(+) channels expressed in HEK293. The cDNA and genomic regions encoding this peptide were cloned and sequenced. This peptide is synthesized as a precursor of 84 amino acid residues and processed by removing 19 amino acids (signal peptide) from the amino terminal region and a couple of lysine residues from the carboxyl end. The presence of an intron of 777 bases interrupting the region encoding the signal peptide was also revealed. A comparison of its primary sequence, with more than 100 scorpion toxins known, showed that together with toxin CsE9 they constitute a new subfamily of peptides considered to be one of the most divergent groups of scorpion toxin-like peptides discovered.     

盐酸吗啡对大头金蝇生长发育的影响及其对死者死亡时间推断的意义

用盐酸吗啡注射家兔,处死后用家兔的不同组织饲养大头金蝇 Chrysomya megacephala初孵幼虫,研究吗啡剂量对大头金蝇幼虫生长的影响及其在法医学中推断死者死亡时间方面的应用。结果显示,在28℃下,取食处理组兔肉和肝脏的大头金蝇幼虫的体长和体重均于孵化后28 h开始在不同程度上大于对照组幼虫,这种趋势一直持续到幼虫末期。在实验的剂量范围内（2.67～10.66 mg/kg）,吗啡可促进大头金蝇幼虫的生长。根据大头金蝇幼虫体长和体重推断死者死亡时间时,吗啡的这种影响可使推断值产生的最大偏差达18h。     

狗肝脏苯甲二氮茸结合抑制因子的cDNA克隆及序列分析

在研究狗抗吗啡活性肽ＰＰＣ过程中,发现它与牛的ＤＢＩ（ｄｉａｚｅｐａｍｂｉｎｄｉｎｇｉｎｈｉｂｉｔｏｒ）的氨基酸序列有很高的同源性,但尚未见到有关狗的ＤＢＩ的文献报道,为了更好的探讨ＰＰＣ和ＤＢＩ相互间的关系,对狗的ＤＢＩ的ｃＤＮＡ进行了克隆和序列分析。本研究利用大鼠ＤＢＩ的基因片段为探针,从狗肝脏ｃＤＮＡ文库中,筛选得到了一阳性克隆,并进行了全自动和手工测序,得到了ＤＢＩ的全长基因。根据ＥＢＭＬｂａｎｋ序列检索,发现狗的ＤＢＩ核酸序列与牛的同源性为８１％,将其核酸序列翻译成氨基酸序列,进行同源序列比较,结果显示：狗的ＤＢＩ的氨基酸序列与猪、牛、人、酵母ＤＢＩ的同源性分别为８８．５％、８７．４％、８３．９％、４６．５％。研究还发现狗的ＤＢＩ序列与抗吗啡活性肽ＰＰＣＮ端６２个氨基酸只有两个不同,Ｃ端１７个氨基酸序列完全相同。只是ＰＰＣ比ＤＢＩ中间多了２３个氨基酸。     

Abrin triggers cell death by inactivating a thiol-specific antioxidant protein

Abrin A-chain (ABRA) inhibits protein synthesis by its N-glycosidase activity as well as induces apoptosis, but the molecular mechanism of ABRA-induced cell death has been obscure. Using an ABRA mutant that lacks N-glycosidase activity as bait in a yeast two-hybrid system, a 30-kDa antioxidant protein-1 (AOP-1) was found to be an ABRA(E164Q)-interacting protein. The interaction was further confirmed in vitro by a glutathione S-transferase pull-down assay. The colocalization of endogenous AOP-1 and exogenous ABR proteins in the cell was demonstrated by confocal immunofluorescence. We also demonstrated that ABRA attenuates AOP-1 antioxidant activity in a dose-dependent manner and the intracellular level of reactive oxygen species (ROS) increases in ABR-treated cells. Moreover, ROS scavengers N-acetylcysteine and 4-hydroxy-2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidine-1-oxyl delayed programmed cell death. This indicates that ROS are important mediators of ABR-induced apoptosis. When ectopically expressed, AOP-1 blocked the release of cytochrome c and prevented apoptosis in ABR-treated cells. These findings suggest that the binding of ABRA to AOP-1 promotes apoptosis by inhibiting the mitochondrial antioxidant protein AOP-1, resulting in the increase of intracellular ROS and the release of cytochrome c from the mitochondria to the cytosol, which activates caspase-9 and caspase-3.     

Formation of isoaspartate 99 in bovine and porcine somatotropins

Asparagine 99 in bovine (BST) and porcine somatotropins (PST) was converted to an isoaspartate residue during incubation at neutral or alkalinepH. Isoaspartate 99 BST or isoaspartate 99 PST was resolved from the normal somatotropin by reversed-phase high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). The altered peptide of residues 96–108 which contains isoaspartate 99 was detected by tryptic peptide mapping of the modified BST or PST. Amino acid sequencing, amino acid analysis, mass spectrometry, and co-elution with a chemically synthesized peptide containing isoaspartate 99 were used to demonstrate the existence of isoaspartate in the modified peptides. Peptide bond cleavage between Asn 99 and Ser 100 also occurred during incubation of BST and PST at neutral or alkalinepH. This chemically cleaved product was resolved on reversed-phase HPLC from both the isoaspartate 99 and normal somatotropin molecules.     

Reactivities of an anti-CEA peptide monoclonal antibody.

Synthetic peptides representing different areas of the CEA molecule were used as immunogens for the development of anti-CEA antibodies. Both polyclonal and monoclonal antibodies were generated using peptides composed of CEA amino acid positions 99-128 and 585-613, respectively. One MAb, designated CP4, generated using the CEA peptide 99-128, was chosen for a more detailed analysis of reactivity. MAb CP4 reacts in solid phase RIAs with CEA peptide 99-128 immunogen and purified native CEA. CP4 did not react with purified non-specific cross reacting antigen (NCA), even though there were two single amino acid differences between NCA and CEA in the 29 amino acid peptide. The affinity constants of CP4 for the CEA peptide 99-128 and native CEA are 4.07 x 10(9) M-1 and 5.75 x 10(8) M-1, respectively. When CP4 was reacted with purified CEA in Western blotting experiments, the Mr 180,000 glycoprotein characteristic of CEA was detected, but CP4 reacted to various size entities in tumor cell extracts. The results of liquid competition RIAs showed that the epitope that MAb CP4 recognized on native CEA is not available for binding when CEA is in solution. Physical (adsorption to a solid matrix) or chemical (deglycosylation or formalin-fixation) alteration of CEA is required for binding of CP4 to CEA. MAb CP4 reacted approximately 1,000-fold greater to deglycosylated CEA than native CEA. Immunohistochemical studies using formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded tissue sections demonstrated that, among carcinomas, CP4 reacts selectively with colorectal carcinomas, while normal colon is negative. Although stomach carcinoma is negative, dysplastic lesions and areas of intestinal metaplasia are reactive. Two of 7 normal stomach tissues showed focal cytoplasmic reactivity of the surface epithelium. CP4, therefore, appears to react with an epitope with highly restricted expression in colorectal carcinoma. These studies demonstrate the complexities in dealing with an anti-peptide MAb with reactivity to an epitope which is accessible only under certain conditions.
