炎症介质对离体大鼠肠系膜动脉降钙素基因相关肽释放的影响

本工作目的是在离体大鼠肠系膜动脉床灌流模型上,观察几种常见炎症介质：前列腺素Ｅ２（ＰＧＥ２）、缓激肽（ＢＫ）、组胺（ＨＩＳ）、血小板活化因子（ＰＡＦ）及５－羟色胺（５－ＨＴ）对血管周围感觉神经介质ＣＧＲＰ释放的直接影响。结果显示：ＰＧＥ２（１－１００μｍｏｌ／Ｌ）和ＢＫ（５－１０μｍｏｌ／Ｌ）能引起大鼠肠系膜动脉床时间和浓度依赖性地释放ＣＧＲＰ。ＨＩＳ,ＰＡＦ和５－ＨＴ则未见明显作用。结果提示,ＰＧＥ２与ＢＫ可能是引起血管周围感觉神经兴奋和ＣＧＲＰ释放的主要炎症介质。     

铝胁迫对小麦根系液泡膜ATP酶,焦磷酸酶活性和膜脂组成的效应

蛋白激酶C和Na~＋－H~＋交换在ANGⅡ诱发心肌细胞肥大反应中的作用

血管紧张素（ＡＮＧ）Ⅱ在１０－１０－１０－６ｍｏｌ／Ｌ范围内剂量依赖性促进无血清培养新生大鼠心肌细胞蛋白质合成速率。蛋白激酶Ｃ（ＰＫＣ）抑制剂ｓｔａｕｒｏｓｐｏｒｉｎｅ（Ｓｔａｕ２ｎｍｏｌ／Ｌ）对心肌细胞基础状态３Ｈ－Ｌｅｕｃｉｎｅ掺入无明显影响，但Ｓｔａｕ预处理３０ｍｉｎ，则可有效阻断ＡＮＧⅡ（１μｍｏｌ／Ｌ）对细胞蛋白质合成的刺激作用；单纯应用ＰＫＣ激活剂ＰＭＡ（１μｍｏｌ／Ｌ）可使心肌细胞蛋白质合成速率增加，与对照组相比，ＰＭＡ组３Ｈ－Ｌｅｕｃｉｎｅ掺入量增加了４１．０４％。细胞Ｎａ＋－Ｈ＋交换抑制剂Ａｍｉｌｏｒｉｄｅ预处理也能阻断ＡＮＧⅡ刺激３Ｈ－Ｌｅｕｃｉｎｅ掺入细胞蛋白质的作用。以上结果提示ＰＫＣ和Ｎａ＋－Ｈ＋交换的激活，可能是ＡＮＧⅡ诱发的心肌细胞肥大反应的重要胞内信息转导机制。本工作还观察到，阻断细胞Ｎａ＋－Ｈ＋交换后并不影响由ＰＫＣ激活导致的蛋白质合成增加，提示可能存在着ＰＫＣ和Ｎａ＋－Ｈ＋交换彼此相对独立地调节心肌细胞生长的途径。     

蛋白激酶C对大鼠缺血海马突触体谷氨酸摄取的调控作用

采用大鼠海马脑片体外缺血模型,观察海马突触体内蛋白激酶Ｃ（ＰＫＣ）活性的变化,以及这种变化对突触体谷氨酸（ＧＬＵ）摄取的影响。结果显示：海马脑片体外“缺血”１０ｍｉｎ,其突触体内ＰＫＣ活性基本不变,而缺血３０ｍｉｎ,突触体内ＰＫＣ活性显著上升（Ｐ＜０．０１,ｎ＝６）;非Ｎ－甲基－Ｄ－天门冬氨酸（ＮＭＤＡ）受体拮抗剂ＤＮＱＸ有效地抑制ＰＫＣ活性的同时,可降低胞外ＧＬＵ的堆积,而ＮＭＤＡ受体阻断剂ＡＰ＿５无作用。进一步实验证明,ＰＫＣ激动剂ＰＤＢ浓度依赖性地抑制突触体对３Ｈ－ＧＬＵ的摄取（ＩＣ５０＝１３１±１０μｍｏｌ／Ｌ）,此抑制作用可由ＰＫＣ抑制剂Ｈ－７（１００μｍｏｌ／Ｌ）抵消。提示脑缺血诱发ＧＬＵ堆积的作用机理可能是：脑缺血引发钙内流导致ＧＬＵ过量释放,ＧＬＵ又通过突触前非ＮＭＤＡ受体激活ＰＫＣ,抑制其自身摄取,正反馈性加重胞外ＧＬＵ的堆积。

Neurosecretory cells in the optic lobe of two aquatic coleopteran species,Dineutes indicus aube and Cybister rugulosus redt

In each optic lobe and optic peduncle of two aquatic beetles viz. Dineutes indicus and Cybister rugulosus the neurosecretory cells are observed with the help of various histochemical techniques. These cells are arranged to form a discrete group. A group in the optic lobe of both species contains about 25 to 30 neurosecretory cells. On the basis of staining properties the neurosecretory cells are classified into A and B types. These cells stain with chrome haematoxylin-phloxine and paraldehyde fuchsin, but do not stain with azan. Histochemically, the neurosecretory material is positive for proteins and shows a negative reaction for 1,2-glycols. The cells show variations in RNA contents in correlation with the state of secretory activity. Axons of the neurosecretory cell group of the optic lobe are observed directed to the optic peduncle. The axonal tract from neurosecretory cells in the optic peduncle runs towards the lateral margin of the brain.     

Minimally-invasive Technique for Injection into Rat Optic Nerve

The rat optic nerve is a useful model for stem cell regeneration research. Direct injection into the rat optic nerve allows delivery into the central nervous system in a minimally-invasive surgery without bone removal. This technique describes an approach to visualization and direct injection of the optic nerve following minor fascial dissection from the orbital ridge, using a conjunctival traction suture to gently pull the eye down and out. Representative examples of an injected optic nerve show successful injection of dyed beads.     

视神经疾病与能量代谢及轴浆转运的关系

神经细胞的特化之一是其轴突,长度可达胞体直径的几百甚至几千倍.轴浆转运维系着胞体和轴突终末之间大量的物质交流,保证神经细胞发挥正常功能.轴浆转运障碍可以导致神经细胞功能受损直至凋亡.在一些视神经疾病中,轴浆转运功能的改变是最早出现的症状,因此也可能成为治疗的潜在靶点.在青光眼和视神经缺血的动物模型中,轴浆转运功能的下降是最早出现的变化之一.而Leber's遗传性视神经病变(LHON)和常染色体显性视神经萎缩(ADOA)是已知线粒体功能障碍引起的视神经疾病.不难想象,长距离轴浆转运功能对能量代谢尤其敏感,因此在LHON和ADOA中可能也有不同程度的下降,但似乎并没有受到足够关注.本文首先回顾了微管和马达蛋白在轴浆转运中的作用,比较分析以上所述几种疾病的发病机制、临床表现及治疗手段,试图发现它们之间的共同特点以及这些特点与能量代谢、轴浆转运之间的潜在关系,为其治疗提供新的思路.

Wnt and Shh signals regulate neural stem cell proliferation and differentiation in the optic tectum of adult zebrafish

Adult neurogenesis occurs more commonly in teleosts, represented by zebrafish, than in mammals. Zebrafish is therefore considered a suitable model to study adult neurogenesis, for which the regulatory molecular mechanisms remain little known. Our previous study revealed that neuroepithelial‐like neural stem cells (NSCs) are located at the edge of the dorsomedial region. We also showed that Notch signaling inhibits NSC proliferation in this region. In the present study, we reported the expression of Wnt and Shh signaling components in this region of the optic tectum. Moreover, inhibitors of Wnt and Shh signaling suppressed NSC proliferation, suggesting that these pathways promote NSC proliferation. Shh is particularly required for maintaining Sox2‐positive NSCs. Our experimental data also indicate the involvement of these signaling pathways in neural differentiation from NSCs. © 2017 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. Develop Neurobiol 77: 1206–1220, 2017     

The second and third optic ganglia of the worker bee

Summary The gross morphology and the fine-structural characteristics of neurones of the second and third optic ganglia of the honeybee Apis mellifera were investigated light microscopically on the basis of Golgi (selective silver)- and reduced silver preparations.The second optic ganglion, the medulla, is ovoid in shape and has a slightly convex distal surface and a slightly concave proximal surface. The medullar outer levels are characteristically composed of neuronal arrangements showing strict precision of their geometrical spacing proximally as far as a pronounced layer of tangential fibre elements comprising the serpentine layer of the medulla. At the inner medullary levels retinotopic channels are again multiplied, and the arrangement of axons and dendrites contribute to a complex lattice.The third optic ganglion, the lobula, is interposed between the medulla and the protocerebrum. It is the site of termination of the third-order neurones. The lobula in hymenopterans appears, in contrast to dipterans, odonates and lepidopterans, as a single neuropilic mass.A short review of the electrophysiological data concerning these two ganglia has been tentatively correlated with some of the anatomical data.     

Detection of activity of telomerase in tumor cells using fiber optical biosensors

Human telomerase plays an important role in the cancerogenesis as it is up-regulated in 80-90% of malignant tumors. Thus, it is considered as a potential cancer marker and relevant target in oncology. Its task is the extension of guanine-rich strands of the telomere using an intrinsic RNA as the template. In this paper we developed a new biosensoric assay based on total internal reflection fluorescence measuring the activity of the telomerase on sensor surface. Two alternatives to determine the telomeric activity are demonstrated without the use of amplifying steps as e.g. PCR. The enzymatic inclusion of FITC-labeled dUTPs should reveal the synthesis process in real-time indicating the elongation of a phosphothioate telomeric substrate (PS/TS)-modified primer. Additionally the elongated strand was detected by hybridization with a FITC-labeled complementary linear DNA probe. As the telomeric guanine-rich single-stranded DNA adopts intramolecular quadruplex structures, it was necessary for the hybridization to linearize the telomeric DNA by increasing the reaction temperature to 48 degrees C. The comparison of the telomerase activity using labeled and unlabeled nucleotides indicated the inhibition effect of the FITC-labeled nucleotides slowing down the synthesis rate of the enzyme. It is shown with the modified biosensor that the PS/TS primer binds the telomerase from the HL-60 cell lysates, effectively elongating the immobilized primer. Furthermore no more purification steps were required as all measurements were performed with crude cell extract.     

Study of a floating fraction obtained during preparation of myelin from degenerating goldfish optic tract

A floating fraction that layers on top of 0.25 sucrose has been obtained during the preparation of myelin from intact and 9 day degenerating goldfish optic tracts. The proportion of total tract protein isolated in floating fraction rises from 6.6% to 11.0% during degeneration. This increase is paralleled by a morphologically observed splitting of myelin lamellae. Floating fraction contains all of the major myelin proteins but shows a 40% increase in the proportion of basic protein and a 2–3 fold decrease in the proportion of IP proteins (intermediate molecular weight glycoproteins) and a 36 Kd (X) protein. The lipid to protein ratio is slightly higher in floating fraction than myelin. Lipid composition is characterized by 1/2–1/3 the myelin levels of galactolipids and twofold increased levels of triglycerides and cholesterol esters. Electron microscopy of floating fraction shows a mixture of myelin fragments with few lamellae and single membrane fragments. Taken together the results indicate that floating fraction in the degenerating goldfish optic tract is at least partially derived from the breakdown of myelin.
