The effect of estrogens is mediated by activation of estrogen receptors (ERs). Because ER-α gene polymorphisms may exert different effects in childhood, we analyzed the associations between the IVS1 ?397T>C (PvuII) polymorphism and systemic inflammatory state, proangiogenic factors, frequency of monocyte subsets, lipid profile, blood pressure, and vascular complications in girls with type 1 diabetes mellitus (DM1). We examined 180 young girls with DM1 and 120 healthy age-matched controls. The analysis concerned PvuII polymorphism of the ER-α gene as well as the levels of serum inflammatory markers (CRP, IL-6, TNF-α), proangiogenic factors (VEGF, angiogenin), 17β-estradiol, values of monocyte subsets (CD14++CD16? and CD14+CD16+), lipid profile, and blood pressure. In our study, girls with CC genotype had lower level of inflammatory and angiogenic factors and lower frequencies of CD14+CD16+ monocytes in comparison to CT or TT carriers. Simultaneously, the CC carriers had a greater population of CD14++CD16? monocytes, increased blood pressure, and serum levels of: estrogen, total cholesterol, triglycerides, and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol than girls bearing CT or TT genotype. Our study suggests a pleiotropic effect of PvuII polymorphic CC variant on diabetic vasculopathies. Although the CC genotype carriers demonstrate less inflammatory and angiogenic activity, they seem to display less favorable cardiometabolic features. Based on our study, we cannot distinguish PvuII ER-α genotype that could be useful in identification of DM1 girls that are more prone to develop of late vascular complications, before the occurrence of first clinical symptoms. 相似文献

The effect of parathyroid hormone (PTH) in vivo after secretion by the parathyroid gland is mediated by bioactive fragments of the molecule. To elucidate their possible role in the regulation of cartilage matrix metabolism, the influence of the amino-terminal (NH2-terminal), the central, and the carboxyl-terminal (COOH-terminal) portion of the PTH on collagen gene expression was studied in a serum free cell culture system of fetal bovine and human chondrocytes. Expression of alpha1 (I), alpha1 (II), alpha1 (III), and alpha1 (X) mRNA was investigated by in situ hybridization and quantified by Northern blot analysis. NH2- terminal and mid-regional fragments containing a core sequence between amino acid residues 28-34 of PTH induced a significant rise in alpha1 (II) mRNA in proliferating chondrocytes. In addition, the COOH-terminal portion (aa 52-84) of the PTH molecule was shown to exert a stimulatory effect on alpha1 (II) and alpha1 (X) mRNA expression in chondrocytes from the hypertrophic zone of bovine epiphyseal cartilage. PTH peptides harboring either the functional domain in the central or COOH-terminal region of PTH can induce cAMP independent Ca2+ signaling in different subsets of chondrocytes as assessed by microfluorometry of Fura-2/AM loaded cells. These results support the hypothesis that different hormonal effects of PTH on cartilage matrix metabolism are exerted by distinct effector domains and depend on the differentiation stage of the target cell. 相似文献

The effect of dexamethasone (Dex) on growth hormone (GH) release was examined in vitro in monolayer culture of normal rat pituitary cells and human somatotropinoma cells from patients with acromegaly. In either cell strain, Dex, at a concentration of 50 nM initially inhibited, but later (48 less than or equal to h) potentiated, the release of GH into the medium, with or without growth hormone releasing hormone (GHRH). The intracellular GH was significantly increased by 4-hour incubation with Dex in rat cell cultures. These results indicate a biphasic effect of glucocorticoids on GH release, irrespective of the origin of somatotrophs, and that the initial inhibitory effect is probably caused by inhibition of the release. 相似文献

Differential effects of corticosterone and dexamethasone on hippocampal neurogenesis in vitro 总被引:6,自引:0,他引:6
Prenatal stress during fetal development results in the blockade of neurogenesis in the dentate gyrus in adulthood. Present study was undertaken to investigate the dominant role of the glucocorticoid receptors in corticosterone actions on the neurogenesis of fetal hippocampal progenitor cells. For that purpose, expressions of key molecules affected by corticosterone and dexamethasone were compared during proliferation and differentiation of the hippocampal progenitor cells. Corticosterone (2 microM) significantly decreased the number of bromodeoxyuridine-labeled cells (about 50%) and caused the dendritic atrophy in microtubule-associated protein 2-labeled cells. The expressions of NeuroD, BDNF, and NR1 mRNA levels and protein levels of p-ERK and p-CREB were remarkably decreased by corticosterone in a dose-dependent manner. In contrast, dexamethasone, a glucocorticoid receptor (GR) specific agonist, had an inhibitory effect on proliferation, but not differentiation. It is concluded that corticosterone elicits its effects on neurogenesis including proliferation and differentiation whereas stimulation of the glucocorticoid receptor is sufficient to decrease only proliferation. 相似文献

The gene expression of cells in the musculoskeletal system, such as in bone, cartilage, ligament and tendon, is profoundly
affected by mechanical loading. Previous studies have demonstrated that the expression of many genes, including collagen types
I and III, are affected by mechanical strain in diverse cell types, such as human osteoblast-like SaOs-2 cells. However, whether
the effect of mechanical loading on collagen gene expression is strain-related remains unclear. The goal of this study was
to determine the relationship between mechanical strain and the gene expression of collagen types I and III in SaOs-2 cells.
A Flexercell cellular mechanical loading system was used to subject SaOs-2 cells to equibiaxial cyclic tensile stress at a
rate of 0.5 Hz with various strains of 5%, 7.5%, 10%, and 12.5% for 24 h. The relative amount of mRNA of both collagen I and
collagen III increased at 5% strain compared with that of the control. As the strain increased, the relative amount of mRNA
of collagen I remained stable at strain levels up to 12.5%. However, the mRNA for collagen III began to drop when the strain
was greater than 5%, until a 10% strain was reached. From the application of a 10% strain through the maximum loading of a
12.5% strain, the relative amount of collagen III mRNA remained stable at amounts lower than that of the control. Thus, the
gene expression of collagen types I and III responds differentially to mechanical strain at various magnitudes. 相似文献

The aim of this study is to investigate the effects of type I collagen on bone defects and on genes specifically for osteogenesis in a rat model. Two millimeter drill hole bone defect was created in the femur of rats. In the experimental group, type I collagen was applied in bone defects whereas in control group defects were left empty. Inflammation, development of connective tissue, osteogenesis, and foreign body reaction parameters evaluated with histologically and genes evaluated by blood samples. In the experimental group, the histopathologically significant change was found in favor of bone healing only at the first week. A significant increase was found in genetic expressions of BMP-1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, TGF-βRII, Smad-1, IL-6, BMPR-IA, BMPR-IB, Eng, BMPR-II, c-fos, Cdkn1a, Chrd, Gdf-5, Id-1, PDGF-β, IGF-1, Serpine-1, and TGF-βRI at the first hour. At the first, third, and sixth week, no significant increase was found in any of the gene expressions. Type I collagen is found to be effective in favor of bone healing through increased inflammatory cytokines and expression of BMP genes in the early stages of fracture healing. 相似文献

Effect of dexamethasone on moesin gene expression in rabbit bone marrow stromal cells 总被引:4,自引:0,他引:4

The influence of dexamethasone on rabbit bone marrow stromal cells differentiation was studied by screening the action of dexamethasone on gene expression. Using differential display, we observed some differential amplifications. The use of five of thirteen different primers combination allowed to identify one or more differential bands. One of them was identified as moesin gene. Real-time PCR confirmed a significant reduction of moesin gene expression following dexamethasone treatment. The decrease of expression for this protein, involved in cytoskeletal organization, could explain the effects of dexamethasone treatment on bone marrow stromal cells differentiation. 相似文献

Effect of high-dose dexamethasone on endothelial haemostatic gene expression and neutrophil adhesion

Glucocorticoid usage especially at high doses is complicated by adverse outcomes such as thrombotic events or acceleration of inflammatory response in conditions like myeloma and osteonecrosis. The mechanism(s) through which high-dose dexamethasone (HDDEXA) causes vascular injury remains unclear.We hypothesized that HDDEXA sensitizes endothelial cells (EC) to the effect of inflammatory mediators and modulates endothelial haemostatic gene expression and leukocyte adhesion. Human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) were grown in the absence or presence of HDDEXA and were also tested in the presence or absence of tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), lipopolysaccharide (LPS) or thrombin. mRNA and protein expression were measured and the functional consequences of HDDEXA preconditioning on cell adhesion molecules (CAM) were determined by agonist-mediated leukocyte adhesion assay.Treatment with HDDEXA resulted in an increased induction of CAM, tissue factor and von Willebrand factor, while down-regulating thrombomodulin and urokinase. HDDEXA alone had no effect on adhesion but resulted in enhanced TNF-α- and LPS-mediated adhesion of neutrophils. Together, these findings suggest that HDDEXA sensitizes HUVEC to the effect of inflammatory mediators and induces a pro-adhesive environment in primary EC. This finding is of importance when glucocorticoid usage is required at therapeutic high doses in patients with or without thrombotic risk factors. 相似文献

Background
Herpesvirus genes are classified into distinct kinetic groups on the basis of their expression dynamics during lytic growth of the virus in cultured cells at a high, typically 10 plaque-forming units/cell multiplicity of infection (MOI). It has been shown that both the host response and the success of a pathogen are dependent on the quantity of particles infecting an organism. This work is a continuation of an earlier study [1], in which we characterized the overall expression of PRV genes following low-MOI infection. In the present study, we have addressed the question of whether viral gene expressions are dependent on the multiplicity of infection by comparing gene expressions under low and high-MOI conditions. 相似文献17.

Phosphorylation of the histones of L cells was examined during early G1 and S phases after exposure of the cells to 1 μM dexamethasone. H2A and H1 were the only histones phosphorylated during either phase, and the extent of phosphorylation was greater during S phase. The steroid hormone increased the amount of phosphorylation of H2A during both phases, but had no effect on that of H1. This increase in H2A phosphorylation due to the steroid hormone could be part of the mechanism by which the hormone exerts its effects on genetic expression. 相似文献

The tight skin 2 (Tsk2) mutation is an ENU induced dominant mutation localized on mouse chromosome 1. While the molecular defect is unknown, Tsk2/+ mice display cutaneous thickening associated with excessive matrix production and are used as a model of scleroderma. The purpose of this study was to examine the cellular mechanisms associated with the excessive synthesis of matrix macromolecules using a collagen promoter GFP reporter transgene (pOBCol3.6GFP) as a marker of Col1a1 expression. This analysis of pOBCol3.6GFP expression in Tsk2/+ skin showed an increase in transgene activity compared to wild-type (+/+) samples. In addition, an increased area of "high" GFP fluorescence in Tsk2/+ dermis in both 1- and 4-month-old mice was observed that was also associated with an increased number of dermal fibroblasts per unit area of dermis. These data collectively suggest an important mechanism of Tsk2/+ skin fibrosis; an increased number of collagen expressing cells as well as elevated collagen expression on a per cell basis. During this study it was noted that Tsk2/+ mice appeared consistently smaller than wild-type (+/+) siblings and measurements of body length revealed a decrease (5-10%) in 1- and 2-month-old Tsk2/+ mice as well as a decrease in body weight in both age groups as compared to wild-type (+/+) control mice. Femur length was also decreased (2-9%) in Tsk2/+ mice. Finally, in contrast to Tsk/+ mice that display an emphysema-like lung pathology, histological sections of lungs from Tsk2/+ mice were normal and indistinguishable from wild-type (+/+) controls. 相似文献
