先天性巨结肠病NOS阳性神经和VIP能神经的异常改变──酶组织化学与免疫组织化学联合法的研究

本文应用还原型辅酶Ⅱ（ＮＡＤＰＨ－Ｏ）－黄递酶组织化学和血管活性肠肽（ＶＩＰ）的免疫组织化学联合染色法,对１０例先天性巨结肠病扩张段和狭窄段结肠及４例“正常对照”结肠进行观察,结果发现：（１）狭窄段结肠壁丛内均缺失含一氧化氮合酶（ＮＯＳ）和ＶＩＰ神经元胞体。（２）狭窄段结肠肌层内ＮＯＳ和ＶＩＰ阳性纤维比“正常”结肠明显减少,酶活性或免疫反应性弱。结果表明,二种神经在病变肠段痉挛狭窄的神经病理机制诸因素中起重要作用。

目的：观察当归对实验性血虚便秘模型小鼠的治疗作用及其对小鼠结肠组织形态和黏液分泌的影响。方法：60只KM小鼠,雌雄各半,随机分为6组（n=10）：正常对照组、血虚便秘组、阳性对照组、当归高、中、低剂量组。除正常对照组小鼠外,其余各组小鼠灌胃给予复方地芬诺酯（DNP）,皮下注射乙酰苯肼（APH）,腹腔内注射环磷酰胺（CPA）,复制血虚便秘小鼠模型。从实验的第14天起,当归组小鼠灌胃给予不同剂量的当归煎液（16.67,8.33,4.17 g/kg）,阳性对照组给予常通舒颗粒（5 g/kg）,血虚便秘模型组和正常对照组小鼠给予等体积生理盐水,每日1次,连续28 d。观察小鼠一般状态,检测首粒黑便排出时间（FBDT）、粪便和结肠含水量,取结肠组织进行HE和AB-PAS染色,观察小鼠结肠组织形态变化和黏液分泌情况。结果：与正常对照组比较,血虚便秘组小鼠出现血虚和便秘体征,FBDT显著延长、粪便和结肠含水量显著降低（P<0.01）,结肠黏膜和大肠腺萎缩、黏膜层变薄（P<0.01）,黏液分泌减少。与血虚便秘模型组比较,3个剂量的当归均能改善血虚便秘体征,显著缩短FBDT（P<0.05,P<0.01）,显著升高小鼠结肠含水量（P<0.05,P<0.01）;高、中剂量的当归能显著升高小鼠粪便含水量（P<0.05）;3个剂量当归均能改善血虚便秘模型小鼠的结肠黏膜和大肠腺萎缩,增加结肠黏液分泌,改善结肠润滑功能。结论：当归可改善结肠黏膜萎缩、增加结肠黏液分泌,从而软化粪便促进粪便排出。     

SP和CGRP在炎症性肠病大鼠结肠中的表达规律

目的通过研究P物质（SP）和降钙素基因相关肽（CGRP）在炎症性肠病（IBD）大鼠结肠中的表达规律来探讨二者在IBD发生发展过程中发挥的作用。方法采用三硝基苯磺酸（TNBS）化学诱导建立IBD大鼠动物模型,应用real-time RT-PCR方法来检测SP和CGRP mRNA在模型不同时期结肠中的表达变化。结果随着炎症性肠病病理变化的加剧（第3、7天）,sP和CGRP在结肠组织中的表达水平显著升高;随着疾病的恢复（第21、28天）,其表达水平逐渐降低并趋向于正常水平。从总体来看,在IBD大鼠结肠组织中,SP和CGRP mRNA水平的变化与IBD的发生、发展呈正相关。结论神经递质SP和CGRP在IBD炎症和修复中起重要的神经免疫信号传导作用。

大鼠直肠肽能神经的支配与起源——HRP与免疫细胞化学法联合研究

用HRP追踪法与免疫细胞化学法观察了大鼠直肠内P物质（SP）、降钙素基因相关肽（CGRP）和血管活性肠肽（VIP）三种肽能神经的支配与来源。结果显示：（1）直肠GCRP和VIP肽能神经起源于盆丛副交感神经节（PSG）。（2）直肠感觉神经纤维来自骶2－4节段双侧背根神经节（S2－4－DRG）SP能或CGRP能神经元。（3）感觉神经元的中枢突进入骶髓2－3节段后角并形成较粗大的外侧束,其中大部分传入纤维经后角外侧缘走行,终止于侧角区中间外侧核交感神经元胞体周围。其余部分传入纤维延伸到骶髓2－3节段灰质第Ⅱ、Ⅲ层和灰质后连合核（中央自主神经核）,进入中间外侧核的传入纤维与后连合核也有联系。上述结果提示,支配直肠的VIP能神经元参与了直肠肌运动的调节;SP和CGRP能神经元可能与直肠的运动、感觉调节有关。     

两种蛇消化道5-羟色胺细胞的免疫组织化学定位及比较

应用5－羟色胺特异性抗血清,对眼镜蛇和乌梢蛇消化道含5－HT的内分泌细胞进行了免疫组织化学定位和比较。5－HT细胞的形态在两种蛇中大致相同,消化道各部位都有呈圆形和长梭形（具胞突）的阳性细胞。食道和胃以圆形细胞为主,肠道段则以长梭形细胞为主。眼镜蛇5－HT细胞以十二指肠密度为最高,食道最低;乌梢蛇以幽门部密度为最高,直肠最低。肠道段两者分布特点相同,从十二指肠至直肠分布密度渐疏。本文还对两种蛇5－HT细胞分布型的原因、形态和功能相适应的特点进行了讨论。     

5-HT对弓状核神经元的直接兴奋作用和通过GABA能局部神经元实现的抑制作用

用大鼠离体灌流脑片的细胞外单一神经元电生理记录技术,观察了5－HT对弓状核神经元自发放电的影响。结果表明：（1）在随机选取的149个神经元中,有33个（22．2％）可被5－HT兴奋,82个（55．0％）被抑制,其余34个（22．8％）出现双相反应或不出现反应;（2）用低Ca^2 -高Mg^2 人工脑脊液替换正常人工脑脊液后,5－HT引起的兴奋效应仍可出现,但5－HT引起的抑制效应不再出现;（3）5－HT受体的非选择性拮抗剂cyproheptadine对5－HT引起的兴奋或抑制都有阻断作用;（4）用GABA受体拮抗剂bicuculline(Bic)可以阻断5－HT引起的抑制作用。据此推测：（1）5－HT的兴奋效应对低Ca^2 环境不敏感,因而是5－HT直接作用于所记录细胞的结果;（2）5－HT的抑制效应对低C a^2 敏感,并可被Bic所阻断,因而－HT可能是兴奋了局部GABA能中间神经元,后者再通过释放GABA抑制了所记录的神经元。     

5—羟色胺和一氧化氮合酶在大鼠中脑导水和周围灰质和中缝核簇神经元内的共存

实验采用NADPH组织化学和5－HT免疫组织化学双重显色方法研究了5－HT和一氧化氮合酶在大鼠中脑导水管周围灰质（PAG）和中缝核簇神经元的分布特征及共存情况。结果表明：（1）在PAG腹外侧区中观察到大量的NOS阳性神经元和5－HT样免疫阳性神经元,但是NOS／5－HT双标神经元较少,仅占该区5－HT样免疫阳性神经元20.1%,并且主要分布在该区的内侧部;在PAG的背外侧区中观察到密集的NOS阳性神经元,但是几科未见5－HT免疫阳性神经元分布。（2）在中缝核簇的大多数亚核内均可观察到大量的NOS神经元和5－HT免疫阳性神经元。在中缝背核的内侧部、中缝背核的尾侧部、中缝正中核、尾侧线形核、中缝大核和中缝隐核内双标神经元分别占所在部位中5－HT免疫阳性神经元的44.6%、53.4%、44.4%、26.2%、26.7%和21.8%。然而在中缝苍白核内仅偶见少数双标神经元,研究结果表明,在PAG和中缝核簇的一些神经元内5－HT可以与NOS共存,提示这两种神经活性物质在功能上可能存在着某种相关性,有关这些双标神经元的功能意义尚需进一步研究。

A method for immunofluorescent demonstration of three coexisting neurotransmitters in rat brain and spinal cord, using the fluorophores fluorescein, lissamine rhodamine, and 7-amino-4-methylcoumarin-3-acetic acid.

Coexistence of neurotransmitters within single nerve fibers or terminals can be convincingly demonstrated by the use of multicolor immunofluorescence. The present study examined whether three-color immunocytochemical localization of coexisting neurotransmitters can be performed using the blue fluorophore AMCA. Spectrofluorometric examination of secondary antibodies conjugated with AMCA, fluorescein, and lissamine rhodamine showed that the peaks of excitation and emission were well separated and that dots of AMCA-conjugated IgG dried on slides were not visible when viewed using microscope filters for rhodamine and fluorescein. These findings suggest that AMCA might be suitable for three-color immunofluorescence. The usefulness of AMCA for triple labeling was tested directly by staining sections of rat brainstem and spinal cord for serotonin (5HT), substance P (SP), and either enkephalin (ENK) or prepro-thyrotropin-releasing hormone 160-169 (ppT), a marker peptide for thyrotropin-releasing hormone. Triple labeling for 5HT, SP, and ppT was observed in both brainstem and spinal cord but was only very rarely observed for 5HT,SP, and ENK. No evidence was found for artifactual triple labeling, although false negatives appeared to be possible in some circumstances. We conclude that AMCA can be combined with fluorescein and lissamine rhodamine for three-color immunofluorescent studies of coexisting neurotransmitters. In addition, the coexistence of 5HT with ENK appears to be much less common than the coexistence of 5HT with either SP or ppT.     

Phylogenetic study of serotonin-immunoreactive structures in the pancreas of various vertebrates

Summary The distribution pattern of serotonin (5HT) in the pancreas was studied immunohistochemically by using a 5HT monoclonal antibody in various vertebrates including the eel, bullfrog, South African clawed toad, turtle, chicken, mouse, rat, guinea-pig, cat, dog and human. In all species examined, except the bullfrog, 5HT-like immunoreactivity was observed in nerve fibers, in endocrine cells, or in both. Positive nerve fibers were found in the eel, turtle, mouse, rat and guinea-pig. These fibers ran mainly along the blood vessels and partly through the gap between the exocrine glands. In the eel and guinea-pig, positive fibers invaded the pancreatic islet. Occasionally, these positive fibers were found adjacent to the surface of both exocrine and endocrine cells, suggesting a regulatory role of 5HT in pancreatic function. 5HT-positive endocrine cells were observed in the pancreas of all species except for the bullfrog and rat. In the eel and in mammals such as the mouse, guinea-pig, cat, dog and human, 5HT-positive cells were mainly observed within the pancreatic islet. In the South African clawed toad, turtle and chicken, the positive cells were mainly in the exocrine region. The present study indicates that the distribution patterns of 5HT in the pancreas varies considerably among different species.     

Confocal imaging and phylogenetic considerations of the subcutaneous neurons in the Atlantic hagfish Myxine glutinosa

We used confocal microscopy and immunohistochemistry to characterize the morphology of the subcutaneous neurons and the innervation of the slime glands and striated muscles in the hagfish Myxine glutinosa. A rich plexus of 5HT‐, ChAT‐ and TH‐positive neurons is described in the capsule of the slime glands. These neurons, like those of the subcutaneous plexus, receive pericellular terminations from the axons of central cells. Capsular neurons receive innervation from 5HT‐positive and nNOS‐positive nerve fibres. Other nerve endings belonging to two separate nerve populations are identified in the striated muscles. They contain TH and nNOS immunoreactivity. Due to the lack of any topographical labelling, the cell origin and the projections of the neurons into the cranial and spinal nerves are unknown. This study provides anatomical evidence of multiple (5HT and nNOS) peripheral innervation of the neurons. However, it does not provide information about the function of these neurons in the hagfish. We suggest that hagfish neurons have a phylogenetic relationship with the spinal group of the dorsal cells of lampreys and the supramedullary cells of teleosts.     

Distribution of serotonin-immunoreactive nerve cells and fibers in the rat gastrointestinal tract

 The distribution of serotonin-immunoreactive (5HT-IR) nerve cells and fibers was thoroughly investigated immunohistochemically in the rat stomach, duodenum, jejunum, ileum, and colon. The immunoreactivity of the 5HT neurons was compared between non-treated controls and animals treated with colchicine, colchicine plus 5-hydroxytryptophan (5HTP), colchicine plus pargyline, and reserpine. The intensity of immunoreactivity in nerve fibers as well as nerve cell bodies was enhanced mostly in colchicine plus pargyline treated animals, therefore these animals were used for an observation of precise localization of 5HT in the rat gastrointestinal (GI) tract. Immunoreactivity in the nerve cell bodies and fibers was completely abolished in the GI tract of reserpine treated animals. The pattern of localization and projection of 5HT-IR neurons was similar in all segments of the rat GI tract. 5HT-IR nerve cell bodies were located in the myenteric plexus and showed the distinctive features of Dogiel type I neurons. Prominent bundles of varicose fibers traversed the myenteric ganglia and some of them surrounded the cell bodies of immunopositive and immunonegative neurons. 5HT-IR nerve fibers were located in the submucous plexus, densely entwined about the submucosal blood vessels. Most characteristically, 5HT-IR nerve fibers invaded the lamina propria of mucosa where they underlay the crypt epithelium. In conclusion, the present study showed that 5HT-IR neurons located in the myenteric plexus projected fibers widely in the rat GI tract. The localization of fibers in the lamina propria of mucosa implies that this neuron may exert an important role in the epithelial function of the GI tract. Accepted: 8 October 1996     

Neuroprotective Effects of <Emphasis Type="Italic">Sigesbeckia pubescens</Emphasis> Extract on Glutamate-Induced Oxidative Stress in HT22 Cells via Downregulation of MAPK/caspase-3 Pathways

Sigesbeckia pubescens (SP) is a traditional Chinese medicine, possessing antioxidant and anti-inflammatory activities. In this study, we evaluate the neuroprotective activities of SP extract on glutamate-induced oxidative stress in HT22 cells and the molecular mechanism underlying neuroprotection. We applied 3-(4, 5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2, 5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide (MTT), crystal violet, reactive oxygen species (ROS), lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qPCR), and western blot analyses for assessing the neuroprotective effects of SP extract. The experimental study revealed that SP considerably increased the cell viability, and reduced the oxidative stress promoted ROS and LDH generation in HT22 cells in a dose-dependent manner. Additionally, the morphology of HT22 cells was effectively improved by SP. Upregulated gene expressions of mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) were markedly attenuated by SP. Similarly, SP notably suppressed the ROS-mediated phosphorylation of MAPK (pERK1/2, pJNK, and pp38) cascades and activation of apoptotic factor caspase-3 signaling pathway that overall contributed to the neuroprotection. Taken together, SP may exert neuroprotective effects via alteration of MAPK and caspase-3 pathways under oxidative stress condition. Therefore, SP is a potential agent for preventing oxidative stress-mediated neuronal cell death.
