目的研究细胞外信号调节激酶1/2（extracellular regulated kinase 1/2,ERK1/2）及其磷酸化状态（p-ERK1/2）在不同分化程度肺癌中的表达情况,探讨二者与肺癌侵袭、转移的关系。方法采用免疫组化（Envision）法,检测79例肺癌组织及l2例癌旁正常肺组织中ERK1/2和p-ERK1/2的表达。结果ERK1/2在高、中、低分化组表达率分别为13.6%,39.4%,66.7%,p-ERK1/2在高、中、低分化组表达率分别14.3%,27.3%,79.2%（P〈0.05）;无淋巴结转移者阳性率为20%,有淋巴结转移者阳性率为50.1%（P〈0.05）。ERK1/2和p-ERK1/2的表达在不同年龄、性别、肿瘤大小、肿瘤病理类型无显著性差异,而与分化程度有关,其中p-ERK1/2的表达还与有无淋巴结转移有关。结论ERK1/2和p-ERK1/2在肺癌组织中高表达且与分化程度有关。     

地塞米松干预对哮喘大鼠气道形态、肺组织Galectin-8及ERK1/2表达的影响

为探讨地塞米松对哮喘大鼠气道形态、肺组织半乳糖凝集素-8(Galectin-8)、细胞外信号调节激酶1/2(ERK1/2)表达情况的干预作用,本研究选取SPF级健康雄性SD大鼠30只,随机分为对照组、哮喘组和地塞米松组,每组10只,哮喘组和地塞米松组大鼠采用卵清白蛋白致敏与激发,建立大鼠哮喘模型。其中,地塞米松组在每次激发前给予地塞米松干预,对照组用生理盐水腹腔注射和雾化吸入。采用图像分析技术测定各组气道壁形态指标,免疫组化、RT-PCR检测Galectin-8、p-ERK1/2、Galectin-8 mRNA和ERK1/2 mRNA的表达。在气道壁厚度、平滑肌厚度、Galectin-8、ERK1/2表达上,哮喘组较对照组均显著增加(p0.05);地塞米松组较哮喘组均明显降低(p0.05),但仍高于对照组(p0.05)。相关性分析显示:哮喘组大鼠气道壁厚度、平滑肌厚度与Galectin-8、Galectin-8 mRNA、p-ERK1/2及ERK1/2 mRNA呈正相关。研究说明,Galectin-8和ERK1/2可能参与了大鼠哮喘气道重塑过程,而地塞米松干预可抑制气道壁厚度和平滑肌厚度,并显著降低Galectin-8和ERK1/2表达。

15-HETE参与的脑缺血再灌注损伤中p-ERK1/2表达变化的研究

目的:通过应用15-脂氧化酶(15-Lipoxygenase,15-LOX)抑制剂去甲二氢愈创木酸(nordihydroguaiaretic acid,NDGA)抑制15-羟基-二十碳四烯酸(15-hydroxyeicosatetraenoic acid,15-HETE)的生成,观察缺血再灌注损伤中大鼠脑组织磷酸化细胞外信号调节酶(phosphor-extracellular signal-regulated kinase,p-ERK1/2)表达的变化,探讨p-ERK1/2在15-HETE参与的脑缺血再灌注损伤中的作用及其表达变化。方法:应用大脑中动脉线栓栓塞法(MCAO)制作大鼠脑梗死2小时再灌注模型。将大鼠随机分为三组:假手术组(sham组)、DMSO对照组、NDGA处理组。后两组再根据不同的灌注时间分为三个亚组:再灌注1小时组、再灌注6小时组、再灌注24小时组。采用TTC染色法检测再灌注24小时大鼠脑梗死体积;免疫印迹(Western blot)法测定梗死后再灌注不同时间点梗死核心区和梗死周围区的p-ERK1/2的表达。结果:假手术组仅有少量p-ERK1/2的表达。DMSO对照组梗死核心区p-ERK1/2的表达从梗死再灌注后1小时即开始逐渐升高(1.43±0.06),6小时达高峰(2.02±0.14),24小时有所下降(1.16±0.21),与假手术组(0.62±0.08)比较P值均0.01;梗死周围区p-ERK1/2表现出相同的变化趋势。与DMSO对照组比较,NDGA处理组大鼠脑梗死体积显著减小(20.10±0.12%vs 17.24±0.16%,P=0.009,P0.05),各时间点p-ERK1/2的表达均下降。与梗死核心区相比较,梗死周围区24小时仍可检测到较高含量的p-ERK1/2(1.16±0.21 vs 1.86±0.14),但梗死核心区表达相对较少。结论:脑缺血再灌注损伤中,p-ERK1/2的表达增加,说明p-ERK1/2参与其中;应用NDGA后,p-ERK1/2的表达降低,脑梗死体积减小,证实p-ERK1/2参与了15-HETE介导的脑缺血再灌注损伤,并在此过程中可能参与了细胞的凋亡。

Synthesis of 4-epi-2-deoxy-2-Heq-N-acetylneuraminic acid and 2,4-dideoxy-2-Heq N-acetylneuraminic acid

We have continued our work to develop novel analogues of sialic acid [1–4] that may specifically modulate the interaction between endogenous sialic acid and influenza virus haemagglutinin [3,5,6]. Functional groups of sialic acid that have been implicated for this virus-host recongnition are the glycerol side chain, N-acetyl group and the axially oriented carboxylic acid function In this report we describe the synthesis of two analogues, namely, 4-epi-2-deoxy-2-H_eq-N-acetylneuraminic acid (4-epi-2-d-2-H_eq-Neu5Ac) and 2,4-dideoxy-2-H_eq-N-acetylneuraminic acid (2,4-d₂-2-H_eq-Neu5Ac).     

H2O2诱导的2BS早老细胞中自噬体增多

Synthesis of [2S-2-H]- and [2R-2-H]hexadecanoic acids

[2S-2-²H]- and [2R-2-²H]hexadecanoic acids were synthesized in overall yields of 59–67%. Methyl(2R)-2-hydroxyhexadecanoate, from the acid produced by Hansenula sydowiorum, was converted to the p-toluenesulphonate, reduced to trideutero alcohol with lithium aluminium deuteride and oxidized to [2S-2-²H]hexadecanoic acid. Methyl (2S)-2-chlorohexadecanoate, which was a by-product of tosylation and was also prepared by chlorinatioon of the hydroxy ester with thionyl chloride, on reduction and oxidation as before gave [2R-2-²H]-hexadecanoic acid. Intermediates were fully characterized, isotopic purity was 97% and optical purity was maintained throughout the syntheses. Attempts to reduce the tosyl or chloro groups, only, with sodium borodeuteride gave low yields probably due to preferential reduction of the ester group; 1,2-epoxyhexadecane was obtained from the tosylate and 2-chlorohexadecan-1-ol from the chloro ester.

P2X2, P2X2–2 and P2X5 receptor subunit expression and function in rat thoracolumbar sympathetic neurons

The present study investigated the pharmacological properties of excitatory P2X receptors and P2X(2) and P2X(5) receptor subunit expression in rat-cultured thoracolumbar sympathetic neurons. In patch-clamp recordings, ATP (3-1000 microM; applied for 1 s) induced inward currents in a concentration-dependent manner. Pyridoxal-phosphate-6-azophenyl-2',4'-disulfonate (PPADS; 30 microM) counteracted the ATP response. In contrast to ATP, alpha,beta-meATP (30 microM; for 1 s) was virtually ineffective. Prolonged application of ATP (100 microM; 10 s) induced receptor desensitization in a significant proportion of sympathetic neurons in a manner typical for P2X(2-2) splice variant-mediated responses. Using single-cell RT-PCR, P2X(2), P2X(2-2) and P2X(5) mRNA expression was detectable in individual tyrosine hydroxylase-positive neurons; coexpression of both P2X(2) isoforms was not observed. Laser scanning microscopy revealed both P2X(2) and P2X(5) immunoreactivity in virtually every TH-positive neuron. P2X(2) immunoreactivity was largely distributed over the cell body, whereas P2X(5) immunoreactivity was most distinctly located close to the nucleus. In summary, the present study demonstrates the expression of P2X(2), P2X(2-2) and P2X(5) receptor subunits in rat thoracolumbar neurons. The functional data in conjunction with a preferential membranous localization of P2X(2)/P2X(2-2) compared with P2X(5) suggest that the excitatory P2X responses are mediated by P2X(2) and P2X(2-2) receptors. Apparently there exist two types of P2X(2) receptor-bearing sympathetic neurons: one major population expressing the unspliced isoform and another minor population expressing the P2X(2-2) splice variant.     

Relationship between C2H2 reduction, H2 evolution and 15N2 fixation in root nodules of pea (Pisum sativum)

The quantitative relationship between C₂H₂ reduction, H₂ evolution and ¹⁵N₂ fixation was investigated in excised root nodules from pea plants ( Pisum sativum L. cv. Bodil) grown under controlled conditions. The C₂H₂/N₂ conversion factor varied from 3.31 to 5.12 between the 32nd and the 67th day after planting. After correction for H₂ evolution in air, the factor (C₂H₂-H₂)/N₂ decreased to values near the theoretical value 3, or in one case to a value significantly ( P < 0.05) below 3. The proportion of the total electron flow through nitrogenase, which is not wasted in H₂ production but used for N₂ reduction, is often stated as the relative efficiency (1-H₂/C₂H₂). This factor varied significantly ( P < 0.05) during the growth period. The actual allocation of electrons to H₂ and N₂, expressed as the H₂/N₂ ratio, was independent of plant age, however. This discrepancy and the observation that the (C₂H₂-H₂)/N₂ conversion factor tended to be lower than 3, suggests that the C₂H₂reduction assay underestimates the total electron flow through nitrogenase.     

Generation of H2O2 in Brain Mitochondria

Generation of H2O2 by rat brain mitochondria using succinate and glycerol-1-phosphate as substrates has been demonstrated. Earlier workers were unable to detect this activity in sucrose-Tris buffer. We found that this was due to a lag in the expression of activity in sucrose medium. Using phosphate buffer (50 mM), good rates are now obtained. Generation of H2O2 by rat brain mitochondria required the presence of antimycin A and was dependent on the substrates succinate and glycerol-1-phosphate. Low rates were obtained with NAD+-linked substrates and none with choline, glutamate, and NADH. The Km and Vmax values for H2O2 generation were considerably lower than the corresponding values for the respective dehydrogenase activity, measured by dye reduction. Oxygen-radical scavengers inhibited H2O2 generation, suggesting oxygen radical involvement. Depletion of ubiquinone from mitochondria resulted in loss of H2O2 generation. Reconstitution of such depleted particles with ubiquinone restored the capacity to generate H2O2 in a concentration-dependent manner. Levels of H2O2 production were found to be maximal in cerebellum. Brain mitochondria from rabbit, hamster, mouse, and guinea pig also have the capacity to generate H2O2 on oxidation of glycerol-1-phosphate.     

Effect of H2 evolution on 15N2 fixation, C2H2 reduction and relative efficiency of leguminous symbionts

The (C₂H₄+ H_2(C2H₂))/¹⁵N₂ ratios of 15 clover- Rhizobium symbionts. soybean, and black medick symbionts were measured. Relative efficiency based on the C2H4 production and on ¹⁵N₂ incorporation were compared, and in most symbionts there was little difference between the two measures of relative efficiency. Total measurable electron flux through nitrogenase during acetylene reduction and ¹⁵N₂ incorporation were nearly equal for most symbionts studied. The relative efficiency and the (C₂H₄+ H_2(C2H₂))/¹⁵N₂ ratio showed an inverse correlation. Use of this ratio appears preferable to use of the ratio of C2H2 reduction/N₂ reduction. Some evolution of H₂ was observed in the presence of C₂H₂.
