血管紧张素Ⅱ上调自发性高血压大鼠和Wistar-Kyoto大鼠血管平滑肌细胞外信号调节激酶的信号转导

本文研究血管紧张素Ⅱ(angiotensin Ⅱ,Ang Ⅱ)对自发性高血压大鼠(spontaneously hypertensive rat,SHR)和Wistar- Kyoto(WKY)大鼠血管平滑肌细胞(vascular smooth muscle cells．VSMCs)细胞外信号调节激酶(extracellular signal-regulated pro- tein kinases,ERKs)信号途径的影响。体外培养SHR和WKY大鼠的VSMCs,先在培养基中加入终浓度为1×105mmol／L 的缬沙坦或1×105mmol／L的PD98059或不加药物,再给予1×107mmol／L的Ang Ⅱ刺激24 h后收集细胞,以无血清培养基 培养的VSMCs作对照。用免疫沉淀法测定ERK活性;用Western-blot方法检测总ERK(total ERK,t-ERK)、磷酸化ERK (phosphorylated-ERK,p-ERK)及丝裂素活化蛋白激酶磷酸酶-1(mitogen-activated protem kinases phosphatase-1,MKP-1)水 平;用RT-PCR法半定量测定MKP-1 mRNA的含量。结果显示:(1)SHR和WKY大鼠Ang Ⅱ刺激组VSMCs中ERK活 性、p-ERK、MKP-1及MKP-1 mRNA水平均明显高于对照组(P<0．05);SHR和WKY大鼠Ang Ⅱ+缬沙坦组和Ang Ⅱ +PD98059组的上述指标与对照组比较均无显著性差异。(2)SHR大鼠VSMCs中ERK活性、P-ERK、MKP-1及MKP-1 mRNA均显著高于相同干预的WKY大鼠(P<0．01)。(3)SHR和WKY大鼠之间以及对照组、Ang Ⅱ刺激组、Ang Ⅱ+缬沙 坦组和Ang Ⅱ+PD98059组间VSMCs中t-ERK水平均无显著性差异。以上结果表明,Ang Ⅱ可能主要通过其1型(Ang Ⅱ type 1,AT)受体激活SHR和WKY大鼠VSMCs中ERK途径,增加ERK活性和p-ERK蛋白水平,继而引起MKP-1及 MKP-1 mRNA水平升高。

目的:研究血管紧张素Ⅱ(AngⅡ)对血管平滑肌细胞血小板源生长因子(PDGF)受体表达的影响.方法:采用大鼠主动脉球囊内皮剥脱术制备主动脉再狭窄模型,观察形态学变化;放免法测定主动脉AngⅡ含量;免疫印迹法测定主动脉PDGF-β受体含量,并与假手术组相比较.培养大鼠主动脉血管平滑肌细胞(VSMC),AngⅡ刺激正常培养的与洛沙坦预处理过的VSMC 6 h,测定PDGF-β受体含量.结果:球囊内皮剥脱术后14 d,主动脉中层VSMC大量增殖,内膜显著增厚,AngⅡ含量显著升高(P＜0.05),PDGF-β受体表达显著增强(P＜0.05).AngⅡ诱导VSMC PDGF-β受体表达显著增强(P＜0.01),AngⅡ受体拮抗剂洛沙坦完全抑制AngⅡ对PDGF-β受体上调的诱导作用.结论:AngⅡ可通过其Ⅰ型受体诱导血管平滑肌细胞PDGF受体上调,这可能是AngⅡ促VSMC发生增殖的一个重要机制.     

一氧化氮抑制AngⅡ介导的心肌肥大反应的信号机制

本文主要利用培养的新生大鼠心肌细胞,从细胞学及分子生物学角度研究一氧化氮（NO）信号系统在AngⅡ介导的心肌肥大反应中的作用及机制。实验以心肌细胞蛋白合成速率、心房钠尿肽（ANP）的表达作为心肌肥大反应的指标,以硝酸盐及亚硝酸盐含量反映心肌细胞NO水平,以免疫印迹法测定MKP－1蛋白表达,以RT－PCR测定eNOS mRNA水平。结果发现：（1）L－精氨酸（L－Arg)10,100μmol/L分别增加心肌细胞NO水平16％及31％,L－Arg(100μmol/L）还可增加心肌细胞eNOS mRNA表达,其作用可被NOS抑制剂L－NAME所抑制;（2）L－Arg(100μmol/L）可降低AngⅡ(0.1μmol/L）诱导的心肌细胞ANP mRNA表达水平和蛋白合成速率,而在L－Arg处理之前用针对MKP－1的反义寡核苷酸转染心肌细胞,蛋白合成速率明显增加,可取消L－Arg的抑制作用,甚至超过AngⅡ组;（3）L－Arg(100μmol/L）明显增加MKP－1蛋白表达,比对照组增加225％,NOS抑制剂L－NAME及蛋白激酶G（PKG）抑制剂KT－5823皆可抑制L－Arg诱导的MKP－1蛋白表达,分别抑制88％、83％,而AngⅡ能增加L－Arg诱导的MKP－1的表达,较对照组增加365％,增强了L－Arg的作用。以上结果表明,NO抑制AngⅡ介导心肌肥大反应的机制可能是通过激活PKG,促进MKP－1的表达,从而增加MAPK去磷酸化实现的。

MEF2A基因突变对血管平滑肌细胞增殖迁移及其表型的影响

目的:观察肌细胞增强因子2A(MEF2A)基因突变对血管平滑肌细胞(VSMC)增殖迁移及其表型的影响。方法:分别将野生型(WT)MEF2A质粒(WT组)、21个核苷酸缺失突变型(△21,显性负突变)MEF2A质粒(△21组)以及MEF2A siRNA(siRNA组)转染进人主动脉血管平滑肌细胞(VSMC),通过溴化噻唑基蓝四唑(MTT)法和Millicell小室观察各组VSMC的增殖和迁移变化,免疫印迹(Western blotting)检测各组VSMC之间MEF2A蛋白、平滑肌α肌动蛋白(α-SM-actin)、SM22α、骨桥蛋白和丝裂素活化蛋白激酶(MAPK)信号通路表达差异。结果:MEF2A△21组和MEF2A siRNA组的VSMC增殖增加,迁移数量增多;同时此两组中α-SM-actin和SM22α表达减少,骨桥蛋白表达增加;磷酸化p38和ERK1/2表达也明显增强。结论:MEF2A基因显性负突变及沉默可使VSMC向合成型转化,其增殖和迁移能力增加。而p38和ERK1/2MAPK信号通路可能参与MEF2A基因介导的血管平滑肌细胞表型转化。

Synthesis and turnover of cerebrosides and phosphatidylserine of myelin and microsomal fractions of adult and developing rat brain.

The synthesis and turnover of cerebrosides and phospholipids was followed in microsomal and myelin fractions of developing and adult rat brains after an intracerebral injection of [U-14C]serine. The kinetics of incorporation of radioactivity into microsomal and myelin cerebrosides indicate the possibility of a precursor-product relationship between cerebrosides of these membranes. The specific radioactivity of myelin cerebrosides was corrected for the deposition of newly formed cerebrosides in myelin. Multiphasic curves were obtained for the decline in specific radioactivity of myelin and microsomal cerebrosides, suggesting different cerebroside pools in these membranes. The half-life of the fast turning-over pool of cerebrosides of myelin was 7 and 22 days for the developing and adult rat brain respectively. The half-life of the slowly turning-over pool of myelin cerebrosides was about 145 days for both groups of animals. The half-life of the rapidly turning-over microsomal cerebrosides was calculated to be 20 and 40 h for the developing and adult animals respectively. The half-life of the intermediate and slowly turning-over microsomal cerebrosides was 11 and 60 days respectively, for both groups of animals. The amount of incorporation of radioactivity into microsomal cerebrosides from L-serine was greatly decreased in the adult animals, and greater amounts of the precursor were directed towards the synthesis of phosphatidylserine. In the developing animals, considerable amounts of cerebrosides were synthesized from L-serine, besides phosphatidylserine. The time-course of incorporation indicated that a precursor-product relationship exists between microsomal and myelin phosphatidylserine. The half-life of microsomal phosphatidylserine was calculated to be about 8 h for the fast turning-over pool in both groups of animals.     

Identification and composition of the tonsillar and anal enterococcal and streptococcal flora of dogs and cats

Enterococcus faecalis was the most frequently isolated enterococcal species from anal swabs and tonsils of dogs and cats, although in the anal samples from dogs Ent. hirae was found almost as often as Ent. faecalis. Most Ent.faecium strains from dog tonsils differed from those associated with humans and other animals in that they fermented sorbitol. Typical Ent. avium as well as atypical Ent. avium -like strains were seen in dogs, while the related species Ent. raffinosus was associated with cat tonsils. Enterococcus cecorum also occurred mainly in cats. Certain atypical strains, presumptively identified as Ent. cecorum , shared characteristics with Ent. columbae.
The most frequent streptococcal species in tonsils of cats and dogs were Streptococcus suis and Strep. canis. Streptococcus canis and Strep. bovis predominated in anal swabs. The canine Strep. suis differed from the common porcine strains in fermenting mannitol.
Forty-seven of the 288 isolates examined could not be identified or related to known species. The characteristics of two groups of these bacteria, provisionally called 'Ton 31 group' and 'O7 group' are described.     

Molecular characterisation of species and genotypes of Cryptosporidium and Giardia and assessment of zoonotic transmission

The molecular characterisation of species and genotypes of Cryptosporidium and Giardia is essential for accurately identifying organisms and assessing zoonotic transmission. Results of recent molecular epidemiological studies strongly suggest that zoonotic transmission plays an important role in cryptosporidiosis epidemiology. In such cases the most prevalent zoonotic species is Cryptosporidium parvum. Genotyping and subtyping data suggest that zoonotic transmission is not as prevalent in the epidemiology of giardiasis. Molecular characterisation of Cryptosporidium and Giardia is a relatively recent application that is evolving as new genes are found that increase the accuracy of identification while discovering a greater diversity of species and yet unnamed taxa within these two important genera. As molecular data accumulate, our understanding of the role of zoonotic transmission in epidemiology and clinical manifestations is becoming clearer.

Kinetics and thermodynamics of peroxidase- and laccase-catalyzed oxidation of N-substituted phenothiazines and phenoxazines

N -substituted phenothiazines (PTs) and phenoxazines (POs) catalyzed by fungal Coprinus cinereus peroxidase and Polyporus pinsitus laccase were investigated at pH 4–10. In the case of peroxidase, an apparent bimolecular rate constant (expressed as k _cat/K _m) varied from 1 ×10⁷M⁻¹s⁻¹to 2.6×10⁸M⁻¹s⁻¹ at pH 7.0. The constants for PO oxidation were higher in comparison to PT. pH dependence revealed two or three ionizable groups with pK _a values of 4.9–5.7 and 7.7–9.7 that significantly affected the activity of peroxidase. Single-turnover experiments showed that the limiting step of PT oxidation was reduction of compound II and second-order rate constants were obtained which were consistent with the constants at steady-state conditions. Laccase-catalyzed PT and PO oxidation rates were lower; apparent bimolecular rate constants varied from 1.8×10⁵M⁻¹s⁻¹ to 2.0×10⁷M⁻¹s⁻¹ at pH 5.3. PO constants were higher in comparison to PT, as was the case with peroxidase. The dependence of the apparent bimolecular constants of compound II or copper type 1 reduction, in the case of peroxidase or laccase, respectively, was analyzed in the framework of the Marcus outer-sphere electron-transfer theory. Peroxidase-catalyzed reactions with PT, as well as PO, fitted the same hyperbolic dependence with a maximal oxidation rate of 1.6×10⁸M⁻¹s⁻¹ and a reorganization energy of 0.30 eV. The respective parameters for laccase were 5.0×10⁷M⁻¹s⁻¹ and 0.29 eV. Received: 20 September 1999 / Accepted: 24 February 2000
