多巴胺受体拮抗剂对缢蛏多巴胺D2类受体的影响

为探究多巴胺受体拮抗剂对缢蛏多巴胺D2类受体的影响,实验以一龄缢蛏作为研究对象,以3种多巴胺受体拮抗剂多潘立酮(domperidone, Domp)、舒必利(sulpiride, Sulp)、盐酸氯丙臻(chlorprothixene hydrochloride, Chlo)为受试物,设置2 h和6 h两个时间点,探究在三种作用浓度(10~(-2)mol/L, 10~(-3)mol/L和10~(-5)mol/L)下每种受试物对缢蛏两个多巴胺D2类受体(ScDopR2-1和ScDopR2-2)表达量的抑制效果。荧光定量检测多巴胺D2类受体的表达量,并检测c AMP的含量变化。检测结果表明,10-2mol/L浓度下,Chlo组别两个多巴胺受体基因相比对照组在2 h表达量均下降,而cAMP相比对照组含量上升,因此选取Chlo作为缢蛏多巴胺D2类受体拮抗剂,浓度选为10~(-2)mol/L,本实验为进一步研究缢蛏多巴胺D2类受体的功能提供了药理学基础。     

多巴胺通过促进RNF20降解抑制神经细胞中组蛋白H2B泛素化

表观遗传修饰参与了药物成瘾的形成过程,而在药物成瘾过程中组蛋白泛素化水平的变化仍未可知。药物成瘾过程中常表现为多巴胺(dopamine, DA)表达量的升高,因此本研究欲探讨多巴胺升高对神经细胞组蛋白泛素化的影响及其机制。Western印迹结果显示,在终浓度0.8 mmol/L的多巴胺作用8 h后,人神经母细胞瘤细胞系SH-SY5Y细胞中环指蛋白20(ring finger protein 20, RNF20)表达量降低(0.29±0.032 vs. 1.0±0.025,P<0.0001),泛素化组蛋白H2B(H2Bub1)表达量下降(0.28±0.032 vs. 1.0±0.017,P<0.0001)。但是RT-PCR结果显示,多巴胺处理SH-SY5Y细胞后,RNF20在mRNA水平的表达无明显变化。在SH-SY5Y细胞中沉默RNF20的表达,H2Bub1在蛋白质水平的表达明显降低(0.20±0.069 vs. 1.0±0.060,P=0.001)。在加入多巴胺的基础上,分别加入蛋白酶体抑制剂MG132、自噬体形成抑制剂3-MA以及空泡型H^+-ATP酶特异性抑制剂Baf-A1等药物来检测RNF20的降解途径,结果发现,加入MG132、3-MA以及Baf-A1后,RNF20表达量均比DA处理组显著上升(1.51±0.095,P=0.0003; 0.89±0.075,P=0.0021; 2.74±0.099,P<0.0001;vs. 0.27±0.044)。上述结果表明,在SH-SY5Y细胞中,RNF20对H2Bub1具有调控作用,多巴胺可通过泛素化及自噬两种途径促进RNF20降解,从而抑制组蛋白H2B泛素化。     

糖尿病大鼠弓状核-海马肥胖抑素通路构成及对胃运动和胃排空的影响

目的: 探究糖尿病大鼠弓状核(ARC)-海马肥胖抑素(obestatin)神经通路构成,以及该通路对大鼠胃运动、胃排空的影响。方法: 健康雄性Wistar大鼠采用果糖溶液诱导胰岛素抵抗加腹腔注射链脲佐菌素的方法制备糖尿病模型,造模之后,随机分为5组:对照组(NS组)、0.1、1和10 pmol obestatin组、obestatin+NBI27914组,每组7只;各组通过置管分别向海马内注射0.5 μl 生理盐水(NS)、obestatin(0.1 pmol、1 pmol、10 pmol)和混合液(10 pmol obestatin + 60 pmol NBI27914),给药后立即记录大鼠胃运动,15 min后进行胃排空研究;通过荧光金(FG)逆行追踪及免疫组化方法比较正常及糖尿病大鼠ARC-海马obestatin神经通路构及ARC obestatin mRNA表达的异同。结果: 与正常大鼠相比,糖尿病大鼠ARC FG/obestatin双标神经元数目显著减少(P＜0.05),ARC obestatin mRNA表达量显著下降(P＜0.05);obestatin各组可剂量依赖性的抑制大鼠胃运动及胃排空(P＜0.05~0.01),obestatin的这些效应可被促肾上腺皮质激素受体1(CRFR1)阻断剂NBI27914部分阻断(P＜0.05);obestatin对糖尿病大鼠胃运动和胃排空的抑制效应显著减弱(P＜0.05)。结论: ARC-海马之间存在obestatin神经和功能通路,参与糖尿病大鼠胃运动及胃排空调控,且CRFR1信号通路参与该过程。该通路功能的减弱可能参与了糖尿病早期胃动力紊乱的发病。     

突触素、神经肽Y(NPY)在糖尿病模型大鼠脑组织细胞中的表达研究

对突触素(synaptophysin)、神经肽Y(NPY)在链尿佐菌素诱导的糖尿病模型大鼠额叶皮质和海马组织细胞中的表达进行研究,并利用UTHSCSA Image Tools 3.0进行图象分析,同时对其与学习记忆的关系进行探讨.选取成年Sprague-Dawley雄性大鼠20只,体重200-300g,随机分为两组.实验组用链尿佐菌素诱导产生糖尿病模型,并以血糖测定和尿糖水平测定进行筛选,另一组为空白对照组.继续饲养4周后,各组大鼠先进行Y型迷宫测试其学习记忆能力,然后取出脑组织,制做连续冰冻切片,对大脑额叶皮质和海马组织进行突触素、神经肽Y酶标免疫组织化学染色,观察这些蛋白在糖尿病大鼠和正常大鼠脑中表达的差异.结果发现糖尿病大鼠在Y型迷宫测试中,错误次数明显增多,糖尿病大鼠额叶皮质和海马神经元数目较正常对照组明显减少,神经细胞内突触素和神经肽Y的表达均较正常对照组明显下降.我们的研究显示突触素和神经肽Y在糖尿病大鼠大脑额叶皮质和海马组织内表达的减少可能与糖尿病组神经细胞突触数目及突触的可塑性下降、学习和记忆能力障碍有关.这可能是造成糖尿病性痴呆的一个因素.

小剂量辣椒素对慢性应激大鼠胃动力的影响及机制研究

通过检测不同小剂量辣椒素(Cap)对慢性应激大鼠模型(CUMS)胃排空率、胃窦和脑组织内辣椒素受体(TRPV1)、神经降压素(NT)的变化,探讨Cap对大鼠胃动力的作用及机制。建立CUMS大鼠诱导胃动力障碍模型,对造模大鼠给予三种不同剂量Cap 0.04、0.4、4 mg/kg处理2 w,采用胃酚红排空率检测各组大鼠胃动力的变化情况,并用ELISA法测定胃窦、脑组织中TRPV1、NT表达。结果显示模型组大鼠胃酚红排空率显著低于正常组,三种剂量Cap干预后CUMS大鼠胃酚红排空率均显著高于模型对照组(P0.05),且随着Cap剂量的增加,胃酚红排空率反而降低。同时在Cap干预后胃窦及脑组织内TRPV1、NT的表达随着Cap剂量的增加而增加。可见3种小剂量的Cap可改善CUMS大鼠胃排空障碍,以0.04 mg/kg组效果最佳。实验结果表明小剂量Cap可改善CUMS大鼠胃排空障碍,其作用机制可能与胃及脑组织内TRPV1、NT的表达有关。     

Centrally administered neuropeptide Y delays gastric emptying via Y2 receptors in rats

It has been shown that centrally administered neuropeptide Y (NPY) delays gastric emptying. To determine the receptor subtypes of NPY mediating the inhibitory effects on gastric emptying, effects of intracerebroventricular injection of NPY, [Leu31,Pro34]NPY (a Y1 agonist) and NPY-(3-36) (a Y2 agonist) on solid gastric emptying and postprandial antropyloric motility were studied in conscious rats. Intracerebroventricular injection of NPY and NPY-(3-36), but not [Leu31,Pro34] NPY, delayed solid gastric emptying in a dose-dependent manner (0.03-3 nmol). After the feeding (40 min), contractions with low frequency and high amplitude of the antrum were frequently observed, and the peak contraction of the antrum occurred most often 3-6 s before the peak contraction of the pylorus. Intracerebroventricular injection of NPY and NPY-(3-36) (3 nmol), but not [Leu31,Pro34]NPY, significantly reduced antral contractions and the number of antropyloric coordination events. It is suggested that centrally administered NPY impairs postprandial antral contractions and antropyloric coordination via Y2 receptors, resulting in delayed gastric emptying.     

下丘脑室旁核胃动素对消化功能影响的研究

目的：研究下丘脑室旁核注入胃动素及其拮抗剂对大鼠消化功能和体重增长的研究。方法：将剂量为0.005-5nmol的motilin和GM109注入大鼠下丘脑室旁核,1小时后可观察到大鼠摄食量显著增加并持续到两小时后。进食量的计算是通过预先称量好的鼠粮和应用药物20分钟、1小时、两小时后剩余数量比较而得出。实验持续一周。将实验组和对照组的进食量和体重进行比较。结果：室旁核注入胃动素5nmol的实验组和合并应用GM1090.005nmol的实验组在应用药物后1小时和2小时,可观察到摄食量显著增加（p〈0.01）,一周后体重也增加（p〉0.05）,然而摄食量的增加有显著性差异,体重的增加并无显著性差异。其他实验组也没有观察到显著性差异。结论：胃动素有调节消化运动,促进胃肠排空,促进食欲的作用。可能由于胃肠排空是频繁的,没有充裕的时间消化吸收,从而体重增加无显著性差异。

Ghrelin/motilin-related peptide is a potent prokinetic to reverse gastric postoperative ileus in rat

A novel peptide called ghrelin or motilin-related-peptide (MTLRP) was found in the stomach of various mammals. We studied its effect on the motor function of the rat gastrointestinal tract. In normal, conscious unoperated animals, ghrelin/MTLRP (5 or 20 microg/kg iv) significantly accelerated the gastric emptying of a methylcellulose liquid solution (gastric residue after 15 min: 57 +/- 7, 42 +/- 11, 17 +/- 4, and 9 +/- 3% of the ingested meal with doses of 0, 1, 5, and 20 microg/kg iv, respectively) Transit of the methylcellulose liquid solution was also accelerated by ghrelin/MTLRP in the small intestine but not in the colon. Des-[Gln(14)]ghrelin, also found in the mammalian stomach, was as potent as ghrelin in emptying the stomach (gastric residue after 15 min: 12 +/- 3% at a dose of 20 microg/kg iv). In rats in which postoperative gastrointestinal ileus had been experimentally induced, ghrelin/MTLRP (20 microg/kg iv) reversed the delayed gastric evacuation (gastric residue after 15 min: 28 +/- 7% of the ingested meal vs. 82 +/- 9% with saline). In comparison, the gastric ileus was not modified by high doses of motilin (77 +/- 7%) or erythromycin (82 +/- 6%) and was only partially improved by calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) 8-37 antagonist (59 +/- 7%). Ghrelin/MTLRP, therefore, accelerates the gastric emptying and small intestinal transit of a liquid meal and is a strong prokinetic agent capable of reversing the postoperative gastric ileus in rat.     

Effect of erythromycin and of octreotide on motilin receptor density in the rabbit

Recent studies have shown that erythromycin lactobionate (EMLB) acts as a motilin agonist and is able to accelerate gastric emptying in diabetic gastroparesis. Using the rabbit as a model, we have studied the changes in motilin receptor density induced by EMLB (a motilin agonist) and octreotide (a somatostatin analogue and an inhibitor of motilin secretion). Binding studies were performed with antral smooth muscle tissue homogenates using iodinated nor-leucine13-porcine-motilin, and binding parameters were obtained from computerized fits to displacement curves. The contractile capacity towards motilin (10(-7) M) and EMLB (10(-5) M) was measured isotonically on duodenal segments and the response was expressed relative to the maximum obtained with ACh (10(-4) M). The first hours after the last i.v. administrations of EMLB (50 mg/day given on 3 consecutive days), motilin binding was completely abolished to 0.02 +/- 0.006 fmol/mg protein, compared to the control group (0.64 +/- 0.12 fmol/mg protein). The effect was dose-related: total doses of 17.5 mg, 87.5 mg, 175 mg EMLB reduced motilin binding and contractility towards motilin and EMLB to respectively 95 +/- 10, 82 +/- 5%; 36 +/- 9, 38 +/- 9%; 3 +/- 1, 24 +/- 2% of the control values. The effect was also long lasting: binding was still reduced to 60% of the control value 48 h after the highest dose. In contrast, octreotide induced a marked but short lasting upregulation. After 3 daily s.c. injections of 5 micrograms, Bmax rose to 13.6 +/- 1.9 fmol/mg protein (P less than 0.05). It was already obtained 1 h after 3 x 2.5 micrograms/24 h. The changes in receptor-density were not related to changes in affinity. We conclude that motilin receptors can be regulated by EMLB and octreotide presumably because one compound mimicks hypermotilinemia, the other one induces hypomotilinemia.     

Ghrelin stimulates gastric emptying but is without effect on acid secretion and gastric endocrine cells

Ghrelin, a recently discovered peptide hormone, is produced by endocrine cells in the stomach, the so-called A-like cells. Ghrelin binds to the growth hormone (GH) secretagogue receptor and releases GH. It is claimed to be orexigenic and to control gastric acid secretion and gastric motility. In this study, we examined the effects of ghrelin, des-Gln¹⁴-ghrelin, des-octanoyl ghrelin, ghrelin-18, -10 and -5 (and motilin) on gastric emptying in mice and on gastric acid secretion in chronic fistula rats and pylorus-ligated rats. We also examined whether ghrelin affected the activity of the predominant gastric endocrine cell populations, G cells, ECL cells and D cells. Ghrelin and des-Gln¹⁴-ghrelin stimulated gastric emptying in a dose-dependent manner while des-octanoyl ghrelin and motilin were without effect. The C-terminally truncated ghrelin fragments were effective but much less potent than ghrelin itself. Ghrelin, des-Gln¹⁴-ghrelin and des-octanoyl ghrelin neither stimulated nor inhibited gastric acid secretion, and ghrelin, finally, did not affect secretion from either G cells, ECL cells or D cells.     

Synthesis and pharmacological properties of benzamide derivatives as selective serotonin 4 receptor agonists

A series of 4-amino-5-chloro-2-methoxy-N-(piperidin-4-ylmethyl)benzamides with a polar substituent group at the 1-position of the piperidine ring was synthesized and evaluated for its effect on gastrointestinal motility. The benzoyl, phenylsulfonyl, and benzylsulfonyl derivatives accelerated gastric emptying and increased the frequency of defecation. One of them, 4-amino-N-[1-[3-(benzylsulfonyl)propyl]piperidin-4-ylmethyl]-5-chloro-2-methoxybenzamide (13a, Y-36912), was a selective 5-HT4 receptor agonist offering potential as a novel prokinetic with reduced side effects derived from 5-HT3- and dopamine D2 receptor-binding affinity. In the oral route of administration, this compound enhanced gastric emptying and defecation in mice, and has a possibility as a prokinetic agent, which is effective on both the upper and the lower gastrointestinal tract.
