多胺在癌症治疗中的作用及机制

多胺是真核细胞生长及发育的必需物质,多胺代谢功能的紊乱与癌症发生密切相关。研究表明,抑制多胺生物合成途径的限速酶鸟氨酸脱羧酶和S-腺苷甲硫氨酸脱羧酶能有效缓解癌症的发展。此外,利用多胺跨膜转运系统的特异性,可将多胺类似物和缀合物转运至细胞内,通过降低细胞内多胺水平,调节组蛋白乙酰化和甲基化水平,促进肿瘤细胞凋亡等途径发挥其抗癌治疗的作用。综述了通过抑制多胺合成酶以及利用多胺类似物和缀合物治疗癌症的研究进展,以期为今后利用多胺代谢途径靶向治疗癌症的研究提供参考。     

鸟氨酸脱羧酶抗酶抑制因子-1与细胞增殖

多胺(腐胺、精脒、精胺)参与细胞增殖、分化和凋亡等重要生命过程,细胞内多胺代谢紊乱也与包括肿瘤在内的多种疾病的发生发展密切相关。鸟氨酸脱羧酶抗酶抑制因子-1(antizyme inhibitor-1,AZIN1)是重要的多胺代谢调节蛋白,它通过多种途径调控细胞的生长。AZIN1能与鸟氨酸脱羧酶抗酶(antizyme,AZ)相互作用,解除后者对多胺合成限速酶鸟氨酸脱羧酶(ornithine decarboxylase,ODC)的抑制,由此上调细胞内多胺的含量。AZIN1还能通过调节细胞周期蛋白cyclin D1的降解速度和干扰细胞中心体复制而影响细胞增殖。AZIN1基因转录后修饰和某些特定mi RNA也对AZIN1的细胞增殖调节功能有重要影响。现对该研究领域的研究进展做简要综述。     

鸟氨酸脱羧酶抗酶I与多胺代谢

鸟氨酸脱羧酶抗酶抑制剂蛋白家族研究进展

鸟氨酸脱羧酶抗酶抑制剂蛋白(ornithine decarboxylase antizyme inhibitors,AZIN)家族有两个成员:AZIN1和AZIN2。AZIN1是一种能够负反馈性调节多胺合成和运输的蛋白质,其参与细胞周期、中心体复制、DNA损伤修复等重要的生理过程,同时也与许多疾病息息相关。AZIN2在脑和睾丸中高表达,是囊泡运输的调节剂,能够调节哺乳动物细胞中的多胺摄取和细胞分泌活性。本文对该鸟氨酸脱羧酶抗酶抑制剂蛋白领域的最新研究进展做了简要综述,以期为相关研究提供参考。     

多胺在肿瘤研究中的意义

多胺（Ｐｏｌｙａｍｉｎｅ）是一类含二个或二个以上氨基的脂肪族化合物,它包括腐胺（Ｐｕｔｒｅｓｃｉｎｅ,Ｐｕｔ）、精脒（亚精胺）（Ｓｐｅｒｍｉｄｉｎｅ,Ｓｐｄ）、精胺（ｓｐｅｒｍｉｎｅｓｐｍ）。多胺来源于Ｌ－鸟氨酸;鸟氨酸脱羧酶（ＯｒｎｉｔｈｉｎｅＤｅｃａｒｂｏｘｙｌａｓｅ,ＯＤＣ）是多胺合成的限速酶。多胺与细胞的分裂分化、核酸代谢、蛋白质生物合成等有密切关系。细胞外液中浓度升高的多胺主要来源于肿瘤细胞。现已发现神经系统肿瘤、白血病、淋巴瘤、恶性黑色素瘤、肺癌、乳腺癌、消化系统肿瘤、泌尿生殖系统肿瘤病人体液中的多胺含量有不同程度的升高,作为恶性肿瘤辅助诊断、疗效及预后的制定,是一项较好的（临床诊断肿瘤）指标。多胺的分析方法、多胺合成抑制剂、鸟氨酸脱羧酶的调控机制及多胺与癌基因之间关系是值得进一步研究的新颖内容。     

鸟氨酸脱羧酶与肿瘤

多胺是广泛存在于哺乳类组织细胞中的小分子有机化合物,参与细胞的生长和分化等重要的生理过程,也是肿瘤细胞的快速生长所必需。鸟氨酸脱羧酶（omithine decarboxylase,ODC）是多胺合成代谢途径中的第一个限速酶,ODC活性的异常会引起包括肿瘤在内的一系列疾病的发生,由此该酶成为近年来研究的热点。简要综述了ODC与肿瘤关系的研究进展。     

抗酶的研究进展

抗酶（antizyme）是当细胞内多胺水平升高时刺激机体合成的一种小分子量调节蛋白,能特异性地与鸟氨酸脱羧酶（omithine decarboxylase,ODC）结合,经泛素非依赖途径被26S蛋白酶体降解,从而使多胺合成减少;抗酶还可以调节多胺转运,以稳定细胞内多胺水平。近年来随着生物技术的不断发展,对抗酶的认识也逐步深入,本文综述了抗酶家族、合成、作用及定位等方面的研究进展。     

抗酶抑制因子结构、功能与代谢的研究进展

幽门螺杆菌相关胃癌与多胺代谢CSCD

幽门螺旋杆菌(Helicobacter pylori, H. pylori)选择性地在人的胃黏膜中定植,是引发胃癌的最强危险因素之一。多胺是一类广泛存在于真核细胞中带高密度正电荷的烷基类小分子化合物,参与细胞增殖、分化、凋亡等重要的生理过程,多种疾病的发生发展与多胺代谢紊乱相关。近期研究发现,H.pylori感染能诱导宿主胃黏膜上皮细胞和巨噬细胞中多胺代谢异常。特别是该菌对多胺代谢途径中的关键酶ARG2(arginase 2,精氨酸酶2)、ODC(ornithine decarboxylase,鸟氨酸脱羧酶)和SMO(soermine oxidase,精胺氧化酶)的激活作用,与H. pylori免疫逃逸,慢性炎症维持、DNA损伤和胃癌的发生发展密切相关,提示多胺代谢途径可能成为H. pylori相关胃癌防治的新靶点。

Recent advances in the study of Kaposi's sarcoma-associated herpesvirus replication and pathogenesis

It has now been over twenty years since a novel herpesviral genome was identified in Kaposi's sarcoma biopsies. Since then, the cumulative research effort by molecular biologists, virologists, clinicians, and epidemiologists alike has led to the extensive characterization of this tumor virus, Kaposi's sarcoma-associated herpesvirus(KSHV; also known as human herpesvirus 8(HHV-8)), and its associated diseases. Here we review the current knowledge of KSHV biology and pathogenesis, with a particular emphasis on new and exciting advances in the field of epigenetics. We also discuss the development and practicality of various cell culture and animal model systems to study KSHV replication and pathogenesis.     

The structure, reproduction and taxonomy of Vidalia and Osmundaria (Rhodophyta, Rhodomelaceae)

Comprises species occurring mostly in subtidal habitats in tropical, subtropical and warm-temperate areas of the world. An analysis of the type species, V. spiralis (Sonder) Lamouroux ex J. Agardh, a species from Australia, establishes basic characters for distinguishing species in the genus. These characters are (1) branching patterns of thalli, (2) flat blades that may be spiralled on their axis, (3) width of the blade, (4) primary or secondary derivation of sterile and fertile branchlets and (5) position of sterile and fertile branchlets on the thalli. Application of the latter two characters provides an important basic method for separation of species into three major groups. Osmundaria , a genus known only in southern Australia, was studied in relation to Vidalia , and its separation from the Vidalia assemblage is not accepted. Species of Vidalia therefore are transferred to the older genus name, Osmundaria. Two new species, Osmundaria papenfussii and Osmundaria oliveae are described from Natal. Confusion in the usage of the epithet, Vidalia fimbriala Brown ex Turner has been clarified, and Vidalia gregaria Falkenberg, described as an epiphyte on Osmundaria pro/ifera Lamouroux, is revealed to be young branches of the host, Osmundaria prolifera.     

New or rare chromosome counts in Artemisia L. (Asteraceae, Anthemideae) and related genera from Kazakhstan

Fifteen chromosome counts of six Artemisia taxa and one species of each of the genera Brachanthemum, Hippolytia, Kaschgaria, Lepidolopsis and Turaniphytum are reported from Kazakhstan. Three of them are new reports, two are not consistent with previous counts and the remainder are confirmations of very scarce (one to four) earlier records. All the populations studied have the same basic chromosome number, x = 9, with ploidy levels ranging from 2x to 6x. Some correlations between ploidy level, morphological characters and distribution are noted.

Selection with two alleles and complete dominance

For a plant selection model with frequency-independent viabilities, fertilities and selfing rates, it is shown that apart from global fixation, for certain parameter combinations a protected polymorphism and facultative fixation (either allele may become fixed according to initial frequencies) may both occur. Facultative fixation requires different selling rates for the dominant and recessive type. Protection of the polymorphism requires resource allocation for male and female function. In this connection the problem of purely genetically caused population extinction is discussed.
For general frequency dependence and regular segregation, the chances for establishment of a completely recessive gene are compared to those of a completely dominant gene. It is proven that the process of establishment of the recessive gene, despite a fitness advantage, may be considerably endangered by drift effects if random mating prevails. The recessive gene may reach the same effectivity in establishment as a dominant gene, only if the recessive homozygote mates exclusively with its own type during the period of establishment.
