花鲫早期体色发育和几个体色相关基因在不同鲫的表达分析

红白花鲫胚胎发育期先观察到黑色素细胞的发生,孵化出膜后先后出现黄色素细胞、红色素细胞及虹彩细胞。1月龄花鲫幼苗体色呈浅青灰色,2月龄前后,花鲫皮肤黑色素细胞逐渐减少,体色发生“青转花”的变化,3月龄时基本形成红白镶嵌的成体体色。克隆获得了鲫Slc7a11和Pnp4a体色基因的全长cDNA。鲫Slc7a11全长1782bp,编码496个氨基酸,与斑马鱼Slc7a11基因氨基酸同源性达93.7%;鲫Pnp4a全长1535bp,编码291氨基酸,与斑马鱼Pnp4a基因氨基酸同源性达95.1%。RT-PCR检测了Mitfa、Tyr、Slc7a11和Pnp4a在白鲫、红鲫、花鲫三种不同体色鲫胚胎及成体组织中的表达,分析结果显示:花鲫和红鲫一样有一个黑色素消退过程,鲫Slc7a11和Pnp4a体色基因与斑马鱼Slc7a11和Pnp4a具有高度同源性,花鲫成体皮肤组织也和红鲫成体皮肤组织一样检测到了Mitfa和Tyr的表达。Pnp4a在不同鲫的不同体色发育时期和不同组织都有表达,Slc7a11在不同鲫的不同体色发育时期均有表达,但在不同鲫的成体皮肤组织中均未表达。     

动物体色变化的机理

某些动物为了适应环境等,在短时间内改变自身体色,是由于其皮肤中普遍存在的色素细胞的色素颗粒运动所致。动物体肤产生的种种色彩与色素细胞内含的色素、色素色有关。特别是光反射性虹色素细胞、白色素细胞颗粒的物理作用,使动物产生了五彩缤纷的色彩。     

几种鲤鲫鳞片色素细胞和体色发生的观察

通过普通鲫、红鲫、水晶彩鲫、普通鲤、蓝鲤、荷包红鲤和锦鲤的不同色彩鳞片色素细胞和体色发生过程观察,确定组成鳞片的色素细胞有4种:红色素、黄色素、黑色素和鸟粪素细胞,分布在鳞片的上层和下层,由于组合不同、大小不同和形状不同,就形成了多种多样的不同体色。本研究描述了不同品种鲤、鲫鱼从出苗到体色形成的发生过程,总结和归纳了不同时期体色变化的异同点,以期为鱼类的体色研究提供理论依据。     

沼虾的体色调节实验

沼虾(Macrobrachium nipponense)的生理变色是指个体体色对环境的适应性颜色反应．这是由色素细胞中色素颗粒的分散与集中决定的。而色素颗粒在色素细胞中的移动主要受眼柄中神经分泌器官分泌的激素控制。由于红色色素细胞是调节沼虾体色的主要色素细胞．故可以此种色素细胞为主要观察对象进行研究。     

体色异常褐牙鲆皮肤色素及鳞片发育的形态学研究

本文观察比较了体色正常及体色异常褐牙鲆 (Paralichthysolivaceus)皮肤中黑色素胞和鳞片的发生及演变过程。结果显示仔鱼鱼体两侧皮肤中最先出现星状幼体型黑色素胞 ,随着变态发育 ,有眼侧皮肤中成体型黑色素胞逐渐替代幼体型黑色素胞 ;而无眼侧皮肤中 ,幼体型黑色素胞逐渐退化崩解 ,成体型黑色素胞不出现 ,无眼侧皮肤逐渐失去色素变为白色。体色异常现象出现于变态后期 ,白化和黑化现象几乎同时发生。白化个体有眼侧皮肤中成体型黑色素胞不能正常替代幼体型黑色素胞 ,逐渐失去色素形成白色斑块。黑化个体无眼侧皮肤中成体型黑色素胞则非正常地出现 ,逐渐替代幼体黑色素胞形成黑斑。约 30日龄变态完成时 ,体色异常现象已经显著 ,已能明显区分体色正常和异常个体。 6 0日龄左右 ,幼鱼皮肤开始长出形态较为原始的圆鳞。体色正常个体有眼侧皮肤上的圆鳞会逐渐发育成栉鳞 ,无眼侧则维持圆鳞。对比分析体色异常个体的鳞片形态 ,发现有眼侧白化部位的鳞片仍为圆鳞 ,而无眼侧黑化部位的鳞片则发育为栉鳞。同时 ,通过对体色正在恢复中的白化牙鲆的鳞片观察表明 ,伴随着白化部位色素的恢复 ,该部位的圆鳞会逐渐转变为栉鳞。由此推断色素的发生与鳞片的发育密切相关

The tyrphostin AG1478 augments oridonin-induced A431 cell apoptosis by blockage of JNK MAPK and enhancement of oxidative stress

Abstract

Oridonin, a diterpenoid compound, extracted and purified from Rabdosia rubescen has been reported to have cytotoxic effect on tumour cells through apoptosis, and tyrosine kinase pathways are involved in these processes. A specific epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) inhibitor AG1478 was used to examine the relationship between EGFR signal pathways and oridonin-induced apoptosis and autophagy in EGFR abundant human epidermoid carcinoma A431 cells. Inhibition of EGFRaugmented oridonin-induced A431 cell apoptosis, while the changes of expression of downstream proteins, Bcl-2, Bcl-xL, Bax, cytochrome c, pro-caspase-3, Fas, FADD and pro-caspase-8 suggested that both the intrinsic and extrinsic apoptotic pathways are involved in these processes. Pretreatment with AG1478 aggravated oridonin-induced loss of mitochondrial membrane potential (MMP) and increased ROS generation in A431 cells, while a ROS scavenger, N-acetylcysteine (NAC) completely reversed oridonin- and AG1478-induced ROS generation and apoptosis. Therefore, AG1478 augmented oridonin-induced apoptosis by enhancing oxidative stress. Pretreatment with AG1478 decreased the expression of downstream MAPK proteins ERK, JNK and P38 and their phosphorylated forms to varying degrees compared with oridonin alone treatment. Then after administration of ERK, JNK and P38 inhibitors, only JNK inhibitor SP600125 effectively augmented oridonin-induced apoptosis and ROS generation. Therefore, in EGFR downstream pathways, JNK played a major role in preventing oridonin-induced apoptosis. Autophagy antagonised apoptosis and exerted a protective effect in A431 cells, and both AG1478 and SP600125 decreased oridonin-induced autophagy. Inhibition of EGFR augmented oridonin-induced apoptosis and this was caused by enhanced oxidative stress, and JNK played a major protective role by increasing autophagy, leading to antagonising apoptosis and ROS generation.     

Fluorescence and analytical ultracentrifugation analyses of the interaction of the tyrosine kinase inhibitor, tyrphostin AG 1478-mesylate, with albumin

Quantifying the interaction of drugs with carrier proteins in plasma is of importance for understanding effective drug delivery to disease-affected tissues. In this study, we employed analytical ultracentrifugation and steady-state fluorescence spectroscopy to characterize the interaction of a potential new anticancer drug, AG 1478-mesylate, with plasma proteins in a suspension of normal serum albumin (NSA). We found that mesylate salt of AG 1478, an epidermal growth factor receptor kinase inhibitor, sediments in 0.1%(w/v) NSA as a complex with a sedimentation coefficient of 3.8 S. This is consistent with the size of human serum albumin. This interaction was quantitated by meniscus depletion sedimentation and fluorescence titration analyses. AG 1478-mesylate binds to albumin with an apparent single-site affinity (K(d)) of 120 microM. In this article, we show that the cyclodextrin carrier molecule, Captisol, increases the apparent affinity of the hydrophobic AG 1478-mesylate for albumin (K(d)=4-6 microM), and we propose that the AG 1478-mesylate-Captisol (1:1) complex binds to albumin with at least 10-fold higher affinity than does AG 1478-mesylate ligand alone. A fluorenylmethoxycarbonyl-sulfonic acid (FMS) derivative of the 6-aminoquinazoline analog of AG 1478, which was designed to have improved serum-binding properties, was shown by fluorescence analysis to bind with approximately 100-fold greater affinity than the parent compound. This has significant implications in the effective delivery of therapeutic agents in vivo.     

Termination of tyrphostin AG1478 application results in different recovery of EGF receptor tyrosine residues 1045 and 1173 phosphorylation in A431 cells

Tyrphostin AG1478 is known as a specific and reversible inhibitor of TK (tyrosine kinase) activity of the EGFR [EGF (epidermal growth factor) receptor]. It is attractive as an anticancer agent for cancers with elevated EGFR TK levels. However, post‐application effects of AG1478 are not well studied. We have analysed EGFR phosphorylation after termination of AG1478 application using human epidermoid carcinoma A431 cells. It was found that AG1478 inhibitory action is fast, but not fully reversible: removal of tyrphostin resulted in incomplete restoration of the overall EGFR phosphorylation. Analysing the state of two individual autophosphorylation sites of internalized EGFR, Tyr¹⁰⁴⁵ and Tyr¹¹⁷³, we demonstrated that phosphorylation of Tyr¹¹⁷³ involved in stimulation of the MAPK (mitogen‐activated protein kinase) cascade was restored much more efficiently than that in position 1045, which binds the ubiquitin ligase c‐Cbl and is necessary for targeting the receptor for lysosomal degradation. c‐Cbl association with EGFR abolished by AG1478 was not reestablished after tyrphostin cessation. As a consequence, ubiquitination‐dependent EGFR delivery to lysosomes was blocked, while phosphorylation of ERK1/2 (extracellular‐signal‐regulated kinase 1/2) was even increased. Thus, after termination of AG1478, the intracellular level of the inhibitor can be reached at which mitogenic signalling will be restored, whereas the EGFR negative regulation due to lysosomal degradation will not.

多巴胺受体1在皖西白鹅小脑皮质发育中的表达

采用普通染色及免疫组化SABC染色法研究皖西白鹅小脑皮质的发育和多巴胺受体1(DRD1)阳性细胞在其发育中的表达.结果表明,小脑皮质在胚龄13 d(E13)由外向内分为外颗粒层(EGL)、浦肯野细胞层(PCL)和内颗粒层(IGL),E19由外向内分为EGL、分子层(ML)、PCL和IGL.随发育天数的增加,EGL的厚度和细胞层次呈先升后降的变化趋势,细胞密度逐渐下降;ML厚度逐渐增大,在E24到E28时增值最大;浦肯野细胞(PC)在E13、E19、E24和E28时随胚龄增大逐渐增大,在E28后趋于稳定,细胞密度随着发育天数的增加逐渐下降,在小脑皮质发育中还发现有一部分PC呈多层排列,且细胞层次逐渐变少;IGL厚度呈先升后降的变化趋势,细胞密度呈上升趋势.外颗粒层和内颗粒层在E13、E19、E24和E28时有DRD1阳性细胞表达,分子层在E24、E28、日龄7 d(P7)和15d(P15)有阳性细胞表达,PC在所检测的6个时段均有阳性表达.研究表明,小脑皮质的发育主要与细胞增殖、迁移和凋亡有关,外颗粒层的逐渐消失是以细胞迁移和凋亡为主,多层PC逐渐退化成单层是与细胞凋亡和正常突触联系的建立有关;DRD1在皖西白鹅小脑皮质发育中对外颗粒层细胞和PC起着重要作用.
