细胞凋亡过程中bcl-2基因的甲基化

为探讨凋亡过程中,ｂｃｌ－２基因下调与该基因甲基化状态的关系,用５－氟尿嘧啶（５－Ｆｕ）诱导小鼠成纤维细胞ＮＣ３Ｈ１０,ＴＣ３Ｈ１０及人乳腺癌细胞ＭＣＦ－７的凋亡,分别检测了这三种细胞凋亡过程中ｂｃｌ－２的表达变化,与其调控区及编码区的甲基化状况．我们曾观察到５－Ｆｕ作用２４～４８ｈ出现细胞存活率下降,ＤＮＡ梯状断裂及细胞周期凋亡峰显现等典型凋亡现象．Ｎｏｒｔｈｅｒｎ杂交显示,在５－Ｆｕ作用１２ｈ时ｂｃｌ－２ｍＲＮＡ水平已明显降低．由此,我们用小鼠ｂｃｌ－２（ｍｂｃｌ－２）及人ｂｃｌ－２（ｈｂｃｌ－２）基因调控区ＰＣＲ扩增片段及ｂｃｌ－２编码区（ｃＤＮＡ）片段作为探针,与５－Ｆｕ作用１２ｈ的细胞ＤＮＡ的ＭｓｐⅠ／ＨｐａⅡ酶切产物进行Ｓｏｕｔｈｅｒｎ杂交,以未作用的细胞ＤＮＡ同样酶切杂交为对照．通过杂交带谱的变化,分析ｂｃｌ－２基因的甲基化状况．结果显示：ｍｂｃｌ－２及ｈｂｃｌ－２在５－Ｆｕ作用１２ｈ后调控区甲基化水平增高,但其编码区甲基化状态皆未出现可检出的变化．上述结果提示：ｂｃｌ－２基因调控区甲基化水平升高可能与该基因下调有关     

DDPH对猪肺动脉平滑肌细胞PDGF·BB和bFGF表达的影响：免疫细胞化学研究

ＤＤＰＨ［１－（２．６－二甲基苯乙氧基）－２－（３．４二甲氧基苯乙胺基）丙烷盐酸盐］是南京药科大学合成的降压新化合物,也具有降低肺动脉高压和抑制肺动脉平滑肌细胞增殖作用。本实验用细胞培养、免疫细胞化学、图像分析、３Ｈ－ＴｄＲ、细胞周期测定等方法,进一步探讨ＤＤＰＨ对缺氧性肺动脉平滑肌细胞（ＰＡＳＭＣＳ）增殖的抑制机制。结果：缺氧促进肺动脉内皮细胞（ＰＡＥＣｓ）的ＰＤＧＦ·ＢＢ和ｂＦＧＦ两种生长因子的表达（积分光密度ＯＤ值）增高。缺氧内皮细胞条件培养液（ＨＥＣＣＭ）能促进ＰＡＳＭＣＳ的ＰＤＧＦ·ＢＢ的ＯＤ值增高,ｂＦＧＦ的ＯＤ值无明显改变。加药组（ＨＥＣ－ＣＭ＋ＤＤＰＨ）的ＰＤＧＦ·ＢＢ和ｂＦＧＦ的ＯＤ值均显著降低,尤以ＰＤＧＦ·ＢＢ的ＯＤ值减少最多．提示：ＤＤＰＨ能抑制ＨＥＣＣＭ引起ＰＡＳＭＣＳ的ＰＤＧＦ·ＢＢ和ｂＦＧＦ表达增多和细胞增殖。结果与大鼠实验观察相符。     

血管活性肠肽对兔支气管上皮细胞抗臭氧损伤的保护作用

用支气管刷洗法收集新西兰兔支气管上皮细胞（ＢＥＣ）,以臭氧（Ｏ３）攻击培养的ＢＥＣ,建立细胞损伤模型。测定ＢＥＣ的３Ｈ释放率计算Ｏ３的细胞毒指数（ＣＩ）、测定细胞内丙二醛（ＭＤＡ）的含量反映细胞氧化性损伤的程度,测定细胞内过氧化氢酶（ＣＡＴ）活性及还原型和氧化型谷胱甘肽（ＧＳＨ和ＧＳＳＧ）的含量反映细胞抗氧化能力。观察血管活性肠肽（ＶＩＰ）预处理对ＢＥＣ的细胞保护作用并初步探讨其保护机制。观察到：ＢＥＣ的３Ｈ释放率与Ｏ３暴露时间成正比;Ｏ３暴露２ｈ使ＭＤＡ含量和ＧＳＳＧ含量明显增加,ＧＳＨ减少;ＶＩＰ预处理呈剂量依赖性降低Ｏ３暴露的ＣＩ值、降低ＭＤＡ和ＧＳＳＧ含量、增加ＧＳＨ及ＧＳＨ／ＧＳＳＧ比值、增加ＣＡＴ活性,显示出细胞保护效应;ＶＩＰ的保护效应可被放线菌素Ｄ（Ａ－Ｄ）或蛋白激酶Ｃ阻断剂Ｈ７部分取消。结果表明：Ｏ３暴露会导致ＢＥＣ损伤,ＶＩＰ可通过增强ＢＥＣ的抗氧化能力而保护ＢＥＣ,ＶＩＰ的信号在细胞内的转导途径与基因转录及依赖ＰＫＣ的酶蛋白磷酸化有关。

内皮素和bFGF对MC的促增殖作用及胰岛素的协同效应

采用３Ｈ－ＴｄＲ参入法,测定碱性成纤维细胞生长因子（ｂＦＧＦ）、胰岛素和内皮素－１（ＥＴ－１）对体外培养的大鼠肾小球系膜细胞（ＭＣ）增殖的影响,以及胰岛素与ｂＦＧＦ或ＥＴ－１促ＭＣ增殖的协同作用。结果表明,不同浓度的ｂＦＧＦ（５－２００ｎｇ／ｍｌ）和胰岛素（０．１－２．４Ｕ／ｍｌ）均显著升高ＭＣ的３Ｈ－ＴｄＲ参入值（ｃｐｍ值）（Ｐ＜０．０１）。ＥＴ－１对ＭＣ的ｃｐｍ值的影响依剂量不同呈现两种不同的效应,在１０－９－１０－７ｍｏｌ／Ｌ时,随着浓度的升高,ＭＣ的ｃｐｍ值明显升高（Ｐ＜０．０１）,并以１０－８ｍｏｌ／Ｌ作用最强;当升高到１０－６ｍｏｌ／Ｌ时,ＭＣ的ｃｐｍ值出现降低趋势。胰岛素与ｂＦＧＦ或低浓度ＥＴ－１（≤１０－８ｍｏｌ／Ｌ）共同作用于ＭＣ时,ＭＣ的ｃｐｍ值明显高于二者单独作用之和（Ｐ＜０．０１）,与高浓度ＥＴ－１（＞１０－７ｍｏｌ／Ｌ）共同作用于ＭＣ时,ＭＣ的ｃｐｍ值小于二者单独作用之和（Ｐ＞０．０５）。上述结果说明,胰岛素、ｂＦＧＦ和ＥＴ－１均能显著促进ＭＣ增殖;胰岛素与ｂＦＧＦ或低浓度的ＥＴ－１促ＭＣ增殖具有正协同作用,与高浓度ＥＴ－１呈现负协同作用。

对３７９例良、恶性肝组织进行的免疫组织化学研究显示,３３％的慢性迁延性肝炎（６／１８）、７６％的慢性活动性肝炎（２６／３４）、９２％的肝硬变（５７／６２）和９７％的肝细胞性肝癌（ＨＣＣ）（５８／６０）中有ＨＢｘＡｇ表达,阳性率高于ＨＢｓＡｇ或ＨＢｃＡｇ。癌周肝中的ＨＢｘＡｇ阳性率显著高于非癌周肝。与其它２种ＨＢＶ抗原不同,ＨＢｘＡｇ表达在细胞类型上有较明显的选择性,在肝小多角细胞（ＳＰＬＣ）、小细胞性不典型增生（ＳＣＤ）及ＨＣＣ中较强。与ＩＧＦⅡ、ｃ－ｅｒｂＢ－２、ｃ－ｍｙｃ和ＥＧＦ－Ｒ表达进行的对照研究表明ＨＢｘＡｇ与ＩＧＦⅡ和ｃ－ｅｒｂＢ－２这２种ＨＣＣ发生相关基因的表达关系密切。ＰＣＮＡ染色结果显示ＨＢｘＡｇ阳性组织的细胞增殖活性显著高于ＨＢｘＡｇ阴性组织。我们的结果还表明ＨＢｘＡｇ表达与肝细胞不典型增生的发生和进展有关、提出ＨＢＶＸ基因可能通过其表达产物（ＨＢｘＡｇ）首先激活ＩＧＦⅡ、ｃ－ｅｒｂＢ－２基因,继而引起显著的ＳＰＬＣ增生和ＳＣＤ而参与ＨＣＣ发生的．     

肺内调节肽对兔支气管上皮细胞与嗜酸性粒细胞粘附功能的影响及机制探讨

为了探讨肺内调节肽在各类过敏性炎症发生,发展中的作用,我们观察了血管活性肠肽（vasoactive intestinal peptide,VIP)、表皮生长因子（epidermal growth factor,EGF)、内皮素-1（endothelin-1,ET-1)、降钙素基因相关肽（calcitonin gene-related peptide,CGRP)在未受应激与臭氧应激两种条件下对支气管上皮细胞（bronchial epithelial cell,BEC)与嗜酸性粒细胞（eosinophil,EOS)粘附的影响,结果发现,VIP、EGF可使O3应激的BEC与EOS的粘附率下降,下调气道上皮炎症反应：ET-1、CGRP可使未受应激的BEC与EOS的粘附率增加,诱发炎症损伤反应;CGRP还能加重臭氧的应激反应;ET-1、CGRP的效应可被W7、H7阻断,抗细胞间粘附分子-1（intercel-lular adhesion molecule,ICAM-1)抗体能阻断BEC与EOS的粘附,提示介导BEC与EOS粘附的粘附分子可能是ICAM-1。     

肺内调节肽对支气管上皮细胞ICAM-1表达及NF-κB活性的调控

细胞间粘附分子—1(ICAM—1)是介导细胞与细胞之间粘附的重要生物分子;核因子—κB(NF—κB)是体内普遍存在、能迅速对刺激产生反应的重要核转录因子。越来越多的证据显示,ICAM—1表达与NF—κB激活是炎症反应的重要步骤。我们应用免疫组化、RT—PCR、凝胶阻滞电泳(EMSA)等多种实验方法,观察了肺内调节肽对支气管上皮细胞ICAM—1表达及NF—κB活性的影响,以及NF—κB抑制剂MG—132对ICAM—1表达的影响。实验结果发现,VIP、EGF可使臭氧应激BECS的ICAM—1表达降低;ET—1、CGRP可使未受应激BECs的ICAM—1表达增加。NF—κB抑制剂MG—132可阻断O3、ET—1、CGRP引起的ICAM—1表达,提示NF—κB在调控ICAM—1表达中起重要作用。EMSA结果显示,BECs中NF—κB在臭氧应激下反复激活,CGRP与ET—1可促进NF—κB的激活;VIP与EGF可抑制臭氧应激的BECs中NF—κB的激活。以上结果说明,VIP、EGF可通过下调ICAM—1转录及NF—κB激活减轻炎症反应,而ET—1、CGRP可通过上调ICAM—1转录及NF—κB激活、加大炎症反应。ICAM—1与NF—κB的持续表达和反复激活是炎症持续加重发展的重要因素。     

Bronchial epithelial cells produce IL-5: Implications for local immune responses in the airways

IL-5 is a pleiotropic cytokine that promotes eosinophil differentiation and survival. While naïve bronchial epithelial cells (BEC) produce low levels of IL-5, the role of BEC-derived IL-5 in allergic airway inflammation is unknown. We now show that BEC, isolated from mice with OVA-induced allergic airway disease (AAD), produced elevated levels of IL-5 mRNA and protein as compared to BEC from naïve mice. To determine the contribution of BEC-derived IL-5 to effector responses in the airways, IL-5 deficient bone marrow chimeric mice were generated in which IL-5 expression was restricted to stromal (e.g. BEC) or hematopoietic cells. When subjected to AAD, IL-5 produced by BECs contributed to mucous metaplasia, airway eosinophilia, and OVA-specific IgA levels. Thus, IL-5 production by BEC can impact the microenvironment of the lung, modifying pathologic and protective immune responses in the airways.     

血管活性肠肽对支气管上皮细胞趋化迁移的影响及机制

为探讨肺内神经肽在气道损伤修复中的作用 ,采用blind wellBoydenchamber测定原代培养的支气管上皮细胞 (bronchialepithelialcells,BEC)趋化性 ,观察血管活性肠肽 (vasoactiveintestinalpeptide ,VIP)对BEC趋化迁移的影响及其机制 ,并测定经热应激后BEC分泌VIP及表达VIP受体 (vasoactiveintestinalpeptidereceptor,VIPR)的变化。结果显示 :(1)以胰岛素作为趋化因子所建立的BEC趋化性测定方法稳定 ,重现性好 (r =0 970 3,P <0 0 1) ;(2 )VIP (0 0 0 1～ 1μmol/L)均显示剂量依赖性地增强BEC的趋化迁移 ,其效应可被钙调蛋白阻断剂及蛋白激酶C阻断剂有效地抑制 (P <0 0 1) ;(3) 4 2℃、30min热应激后BEC分泌VIP (P <0 0 1)及表达VIPR明显增加 (P <0 0 5 )。实验表明 :肺内神经肽VIP可增强BEC的趋化迁移 ,其细胞内信号转导途径与钙调蛋白及蛋白激酶C有关。而热应激时VIP及VIPR的高表达进一步提示局部微环境的VIP可能是气道上皮损伤修复网络中的重要分子     

Epidermal growth factor and prostaglandin E(2) accelerate mucosal recovery from stress-induced gastric lesions via inhibition of apoptosis.

The repair of damaged gastric mucosa is a complex process involving prostaglandins (PG) and mucosal growth factors such as epidermal growth factor (EGF). Recently, we postulated that the increased occurrence of apoptosis in the gastric epithelium might be of pathophysiological importance in the development of stress lesions. The aim of the present study was to assess the effect of the pretreatment of rats, exposed to 3.5 h of water immersion and restraint stress (WRS), with EGF and PG (16,16 dmPGE(2)) on the number of stress lesions, recovery of gastric mucosa from stress and the expression of apoptosis related genes such as caspase-3 and antiapoptotic bcl-2. Rats were divided in following groups: (1) vehicle; (2) EGF 100 microg/kg i.p.; (3) 16,16 dm-PGE(2) (5 microg/kg i.g.) and caspase-1 inhibitor (ICE-I; 100 microg/kg i.p.). One hour later, the rats were exposed to 3.5 h of WRS and then sacrificed immediately (0 h) or at 6, 12, or 24 h after WRS. The number of acute gastric lesions was determined. Gastric epithelial apoptosis was assessed by TUNEL staining. In addition, mRNA expression of caspase-3, Bcl-2 and proinflammatory cytokines (IL-1 beta, TNFalpha) was assessed by RT-PCR. PGE(2) generation in gastric mucosa and luminal EGF were determined by RIA. Exposure to WRS resulted in the development of multiple acute stress erosions ( approximately 18) which almost completely healed during 24 h. The gastric blood flow was significantly reduced (approximately 70% of intact mucosa) immediately after WRS. The expression of mRNA for IL-1 beta and TNF alpha reached their peak at 12 h after stress exposure. The apoptosis rate was highest at 6 h after WRS and was accompanied by the highest caspase-3 expression. In rats pretreated with EGF or 16,16 dm-PGE(2), a significant decrease in caspase-3 mRNA and upregulation of bcl-2 mRNA as observed as compared to vehicle controls. Caspase-1 inhibitor significantly reduced the number of stress lesions. We conclude that EGF and PGE(2) accelerate healing of stress-induced lesions due to the attenuation of apoptosis via upregulation of bcl-2 in gastric mucosa. Inhibitors of apoptosis accelerate healing of stress lesions and may be potentially effective agents in the healing of damaged gastric mucosa.     

Cyclin D1 overexpression induces epidermal growth factor-independent resistance to apoptosis linked to BCL-2 in human A431 carcinoma

Overexpression of EGF receptors and constitutive cyclin D1 expression are frequently associated with human squamous carcinomas. We have now investigated whether these parameters influence susceptibility to okadaic acid induced cell death in EGF-receptor overexpressing mutant p53 A431 human carcinoma. Exposure of these cells to 20 nM okadaic acid induced apoptosis-associated caspase 3 activation, DNA fragmentation, cleavage of Poly ADP-Ribose Polymerase (PARP), p53-independent expression of pro-apoptotic bax, and loss of proliferation-promoting cyclin D1. All these alterations were antagonized by concurrent addition of exogenous EGF. Ectopic overexpression of the cyclin D1 gene in A431 carcinoma conferred resistance to 20 nM okadaic acid irrespective of exogenous EGF, associated with a parallel induction of anti-apoptotic bcl-2. Treatment with a subtoxic concentration of a bispecific bcl-2/bcl xL antisense oligonucleotide cooperated with okadaic acid to down-regulate bcl-2 and sensitize cyclin D1-overexpressing cells to okadaic acid. Although EGF protects EGF-R proficient epithelial cells from diverse apoptotic stimuli through Mcl-1, this is the first report demonstrating that cyclin D1 overexpression provides an EGF independent protection from okadaic acid-induced cell death through induction of bcl-2. We also show that this anti-apoptotic effect of cyclin D1 overexpression, can be partly antagonized with antisense strategies that down-regulate anti-apoptotic bcl-2 family members.
