胍丁胺对离体大鼠主动脉张力的影响及其受体机制

采用离体血管环灌流方法,观察了胍丁胺（agmatine,Agm)对大鼠胸主动脉张力的影响,并探讨其受体机制,实验结果如下：（1）在苯肾上腺素PE,10^-6mol/L)引起血管预收缩的 基础上,Agm(10^-7-10^-2mol/L)剂量依赖性地舒张大鼠胸主动脉。（2）上述舒张反应在去除内皮和应用NOS抑制剂N^-G-mnitro-L-arginine methyl ester(L-NAME,0.5mmol/L)后依然存在,提示Agm的舒血管作用为非内皮依赖性,并无NO的参与。（3）在高Ca^2 (3mmol/L)引起血管预收缩的基础上,Agm也可剂量依赖性地舒张大鼠主动脉。（4）预先应用α2－肾上腺素能受体（α2－adrenergic receptor,α2－AR）和咪唑啉受体（IR）阻断剂idazoxan(10^-4mol/L)则可完全阻断Agm的上述作用。（5）应用α2－AR拮抗剂yohimbine(10^-4mol/L)可部分阻断Agm对大鼠主动脉的舒张反应,以上结果表明,Agm对大鼠主动脉血管的舒张作用是由α2－AR和IR共同介导。     

胍丁胺抑制大鼠颈动脉窦压力感受器活动

在麻醉大鼠隔离灌流颈动脉窦区条件下,记录窦神经传入放电,观察胍丁胺（agmatine,Agm)对动脉压力感受器活动的影响,结果如下：（1）以1mmol/L Agm隔离灌流大鼠颈动脉窦区时,窦内压－窦神经传入放电积分（ISP－ISNA）关系曲线向右下方移位,曲线的最大斜率（PS）降低,窦神经传入放电量最大积分值（PIV）减小,再分别以5,10mmol/L Agm灌流时,机能曲线向右下方移位更为明显,PS及PIV降低更加明显,从而表明Agm抑制压力感受器活动且呈剂量依赖性,（2）α2－肾上腺素受体（α2－adrenoceptor,α-AR）和咪唑啉受体（IR）的阻断剂咪唑克生（0．1mmol/L)可阻断Agm的上述效应。（3）预先灌流α-AR能亨宾（15umol/L)可部分阻断Agm的抑制效应。（4）预先灌流Ca^2 通道激动剂Bay K8644(500mmol/L)亦可取消Agm对窦神经传入放电的影响,以上结果表明,Agm对基动脉窦压力感受器活动有抑制作用,此作用由IR和α-AR介导,并与颈动脉窦压力感受器活动时Ca^2 内流减少有关。     

胍丁胺对大鼠海马 CA1区神经元放电的影响

应用细胞外记录单位放电技术,在大鼠海马脑片上观察了胍丁胺(agmatine,Agm)对CAl区神经元放电的影响。实验结果如下：(1)在47个海马脑片放电单位上灌流Agm(0．1—1．0μmol／L)2min,有38个单位(80．9％)自发放电频率明显降低,且呈剂量依赖性,9个单位(19．1％)无明显的反应;(2)预先用0．2mmol／L的L-谷氨酸(L-glutamate,L-Glu)灌流12个海马脑片放电单位,有9个单位(75％)放电频率明显增加,表现为癫痫样放电,在此基础上灌流Agm(1．0μmol／L)2min,其癫痫样放电被抑制;(3)在7个海马脑片放电单位上给予L型钙通道激动剂Bay K8644(0．1μmoL／L)时,有6个单位(85．7％)放电频率明显增加,另外1个单位(14．3％)无明显变化,再给予Agm(1．0μmol／L)2min,其放电频率被明显抑制;(4)13个CAl放电单位,灌流50μmoL／L一氧化氮合酶(NOS)抑制剂N^G-nitro-L-arginine methyl ester。(L-NAME)5min后其放电频率明显增加,在此基础上再给予Agm(1．0μmol／L)2min,有11个单位(84．6％)的放电频率被抑制,有2个单位(15．4％)的变化不明显。上述结果提示：胍丁胺能抑制海马CAl区神经元自发放电以及由谷氨酸、BayK8644和L-NAME诱发的放电,这一抑制效应可能与胍丁胺阻断CAl区锥体细胞上的NMDA受体,并减少钙离子内流有关。     

胍丁胺对大鼠穹隆下器神经元电活动的影响

应用细胞外记录单位放电技术,在73个大鼠穹隆下器脑片上观察了胍丁胺(agmatine,Agm)对神经元电活动的影响。实验结果如下：(1)在28个穹隆下器脑片上灌流Agm(1．0μmol／L)2min,有24个单位(85．7％)自发放电频率明显降低,4个单位(14．3％)无明显变化：(2)预先用L-谷氨酸(0．3mmol／L)灌流,24个放电单位中有19个单位(79．2％)放电频率明显增加,表现为癫痫样放电,5个单位(20．8％)的变化不明显,在此基础上灌流Agm(1．0gmol／L)2min,有15个单位(78．9％)的癫痫样放电被抑制,另外4个单位(21．1％)无明显变化：(3)灌流L型钙通道激动剂Bay K-8644(0．1μmol／L),在12个神经元放电单位中有10个单位(83．3％)的放电频率明显增加,另外2个单位(16．7％)变化不明显,然后灌流Agm(1．0μmol／L)2min,有8个单位(80％)的放电频率被抑制,其余无明显变化;(4)9个单位在灌流一氧化氮合酶(NOS)抑制剂N^G-nitro-L-arginine-methyl ester(L-NAME,50μmol／L)后,其中6个单位(66．7％)放电频率明显增加,另外3个单位(33．3％)放电频率变化不明显,在此基础上再给予Agm(1．0μmol)2min,增加的放电频率被抑制。上述结果提示：胍丁胺可抑制大鼠穹隆下器神经元自发放电以及由L-谷氨酸,Bay K-8644和L-NAME诱发的放电,这一效应可能与胍丁胺阻断了神经元的NMDA受体,从而减少钙离子内流有关。     

梭曼对大鼠应激性体温过高的作用及中枢和外周胆碱能受体阻断剂对其效应的影响

目的：观察梭曼对大鼠应激性体温过高的抑制作用以及中枢和外周胆碱能受体阻断剂对其效应的影响。方法：用无线遥测技术测量大鼠的体温,观察皮下注射梭曼、东莨菪碱、甲基东莨菪碱和吡啶斯的明对开放环境中大鼠应激性体温过高的影响。用分光光度技术测定血浆中胆碱酯酶活性。结果：①对照组大鼠在开放实验箱中体温升高达0.96℃,而注射梭曼动物体温只升高了0.55℃。中枢性胆碱能受体阻断剂东莨菪碱几乎完全阻断梭曼对应激体温过高的抑制作用,而外周胆碱能受体阻断剂甲基东莨菪碱则能明显增强梭曼对应激性体温过高的抑制作用。②外周抗胆碱酯酶剂吡啶斯的明能使血浆胆碱酯酶的活性降低至52%,同时明显提高开放环境中大鼠应激性体温过高的反应。甲基东莨菪碱几乎可以阻断吡啶斯的明对应激体温过高反应的影响。结论：神经毒剂梭曼可改变大鼠在开放环境中应激性体温过高的反应能力,其作用主要是通过中枢毒蕈碱型胆碱能通路所致。此外,外周胆碱能神经参与大鼠开放应激性体温过高的形成过程。

胍丁胺对Dahl盐敏感型高血压大鼠和Dahl盐抵抗型大鼠血流动力学的影响

在麻醉Dahl盐敏感型(DS)高血压大鼠和Dahl盐抵抗型(DR)正常血压大鼠,研究了静注胍丁胺(agmatine,AGM)对血流动力学的影响.结果显示(1)静注AGM(1,10,20mg/kg)可剂量依赖性地降低DS和DR大鼠的HR,MAP,LVP,±LVdp/dtmax,CI和TPRI.在DS高血压大鼠,MAP,LVP,±LVdp/dtmax和TPRI较DR正常血压大鼠下降幅度要大;而HR和CI在两种大鼠下降幅度无差异.需特别提出的是,DS高血压大鼠在静注高剂量AGM(20mg/kg)后,各项血流动力学指标出现先降低而后升高的现象,这一结果在DR正常血压大鼠并未出现.(2)预先静注咪唑啉受体(IR)和α2-肾上腺素能受体阻断剂(α2-AR)idazoxan(2.5mg/kg)可部分阻抑AGM的血流动力学效应.(3)预先静注α2-肾上腺素能受体阻断剂yohimbine(4mg/kg)同样可部分阻抑AGM的效应.(4)预先静注咪唑啉受体(I1)和α2-肾上腺素能受体阻断剂efaroxan(2.5mg/kg)则完全阻断AGM的血流动力学效应.以上结果表明,AGM可显著降低麻醉DR和DS大鼠的HR,MAP,LVP,±LVdp/dtmax,CI和TPRI;此效应似主要由I1-IR所介导,并有I2-IR和α2-AR参与.     

The effects of hyperthermia and hyperthermia plus microwaves on rat brain energy metabolism

The effects of hyperthermia, alone and in conjunction with microwave exposure, on brain energetics were studied in anesthetized male Sprague-Dawley rats. The effect of temperature on adenosine triphosphate concentration [ATP] and creatine phosphate concentration [CP] was determined in the brains of rats that were maintained at 35.6, 37.0, 39.0, and 41.0 degrees C. At 37, 39, and 41 degrees C brain [ATP] and [CP] were down 6.0, 10.8, and 29.2%, and 19.6, 28.7, and 44%, respectively, from the 35.6 degrees C control concentrations. Exposure of the brain to 591-MHz radiation at 13.8 mW/cm2 for 0.5, 1.0, 3.0, and 5.0 min caused further decreases (below those observed for 30 degrees C hyperthermia only) of 16.0, 29.8, 22.5, and 12.3% in brain [ATP], and of 15.6, 25.1, 21.4, and 25.9% in brain [CP] after 0.5, 1.0, 3.0, and 5.0 min, respectively. Recording of brain reduced nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NADH) fluorescence before, during, and after microwave exposure showed an increase in NADH fluorescence during microwave exposure that returned to preexposure levels within 1 min postexposure. Continuous recording of brain temperatures during microwave exposures showed that brain temperature varied between -0.1 and +0.05 degrees C. Since the microwave exposures did not induce tissue hyperthermia, it is concluded that direct microwave interaction at the subcellular level is responsible for the observed decrease in [ATP] and [CP].     

胍基丁胺对大鼠血流动力学的影响及其细胞机制

在麻醉大鼠研究静注胍基丁胺（ＡＧＭ）对血流动力学的影响,并初步探讨其机制。结果如下：（１）静注ＡＧＭ（１０ｍｇ／ｋｇ）后,ＨＲ,ＭＡＰ,ＬＶＰ,±ＬＶｄｐ／ｄｔｍａｘ,ＣＩ和ＴＰＲＩ均明显下降;（２）预先静注ＮＯＳ抑制剂ＬＮＮＡ（１５ｍｇ／ｋｇ）或腹腔内注射鸟苷酸环化酶抑制剂亚甲基蓝（５０ｍｇ／ｋｇ）,均不能阻断ＡＧＭ的降压作用;（３）预先静注咪唑啉受体和α２肾上腺素能受体阻断剂ｉｄａｚｏｘａｎ（２ｍｇ／ｋｇ）则可明显阻抑ＡＧＭ的降压效应。以上结果表明,ＡＧＭ对麻醉大鼠的降压机制,在于显著抑制心肌收缩性而使心输出量降低,以及舒张外周血管致使总外周阻力下降;此效应似主要由ＩＲ和／或α２ＡＲ所介导。     

胍基丁胺在离体豚鼠乳头肌的电生理效应

应用细胞内微电极技术,观察了胍基丁胺（ａｇｍａｔｉｎｅ,ＡＧＭ）对豚鼠乳头肌细胞的电生理效应。结果表明：（１）ＡＧＭ浓度依赖地缩短正常乳头肌动作电位的时程;（２）对部分去极化的乳头肌,ＡＧＭ（１ｍｍｏｌ／Ｌ）除缩短动作电位时程外,还抑制动作电位零相最大上升速度,并降低其幅值和超射值;（３）预先应用一氧化氮合酶抑制剂ＬＮＡＭＥ（０５ｍｍｏｌ／Ｌ）,不能影响ＡＧＭ（１ｍｍｏｌ／Ｌ）的电生理效应;（４）预先应用咪唑啉受体（ｉｍｉｄａｚｏｌｉｎｅｒｅｃｅｐｔｏｒ,ＩＲ）和α２肾上腺素能受体（ａｌｐｈａ２ａｄｒｅｎｅｒｇｉｃｒｅｃｅｐｔｏｒ,α２ＡＲ）拮抗剂ｉｄａｚｏｘａｎ（０１ｍｍｏｌ／Ｌ）,则可完全阻断ＡＧＭ（１ｍｍｏｌ／Ｌ）的电生理效应。以上结果提示,ＡＧＭ对乳头肌的电生理效应似由α２ＡＲ和ＩＲ介导,并与胞浆内Ｃａ２＋减少有关。     

Removal of the vomeronasal organ blocks the stress-induced hyperthermia response to alarm pheromone in male rats

Previously, we reported that male Wistar rats release alarm pheromone from their perianal region, which aggravates stress-induced hyperthermia (SIH) in pheromone-recipient rats. The subsequent discovery that this pheromone could be trapped in water enabled us to expose recipients to the pheromone in their home cages. Despite its apparent influence on autonomic and behavioral functions, we still had no clear evidence as to whether the alarm pheromone was perceived by the main olfactory system (MOS) or by the vomeronasal system. In this study, we investigated this question by exposing 3 types of recipients to alarm pheromone in their home cages: intact males (Intact), vomeronasal organ-excised males (VNX), and sham-operated males (Sham). The Intact and Sham recipients showed aggravated SIH in response to alarm pheromone, whereas the VNX recipients did not. In addition, the results of the habituation/dishabituation test and soybean agglutinin binding to the accessory olfactory bulb verified the complete ablation of the vomeronasal organ (VNO) with a functional MOS in the pheromone recipients. These results strongly suggest that male rats perceive alarm pheromone with the VNO.     

Fish can show emotional fever: stress-induced hyperthermia in zebrafish

Whether fishes are sentient beings remains an unresolved and controversial question. Among characteristics thought to reflect a low level of sentience in fishes is an inability to show stress-induced hyperthermia (SIH), a transient rise in body temperature shown in response to a variety of stressors. This is a real fever response, so is often referred to as ‘emotional fever’. It has been suggested that the capacity for emotional fever evolved only in amniotes (mammals, birds and reptiles), in association with the evolution of consciousness in these groups. According to this view, lack of emotional fever in fishes reflects a lack of consciousness. We report here on a study in which six zebrafish groups with access to a temperature gradient were either left as undisturbed controls or subjected to a short period of confinement. The results were striking: compared to controls, stressed zebrafish spent significantly more time at higher temperatures, achieving an estimated rise in body temperature of about 2–4°C. Thus, zebrafish clearly have the capacity to show emotional fever. While the link between emotion and consciousness is still debated, this finding removes a key argument for lack of consciousness in fishes.     

Induction of heat shock protein 27 in rat embryos exposed to hyperthermia

Previously we reported that eight proteins were reproducibly induced in postimplantation rat embryos exposed to a brief heat shock (43°C, 15 min). The major heat-inducible rat embryo protein has now been identified as heat shock protein 72 (Hsp 72). In addition, the induction of Hsp 72 is temporally correlated with induction of thermotolerance. One of the other rat embryo proteins previously shown to be induced by elevated temperature is a heat shock protein of approximately 27 kilodaltons (Hsp 27). In this report we show that this protein is recognized by an antibody directed against a conserved peptide sequence of Hsp 27. Unlike Hsp 72, Hsp 27 is constitutively expressed in the rat embryo in the absence of any thermal stress; however, the level of Hsp 27 is increased approximately 2–3-fold after thermal stress (43°C, 10 min). Immunohistochemical analysis revealed that the constitutively expressed Hsp 27 is localized primarily to cells of the heart, cells that are uniquely resistant to the cytotoxic effects of hyperthermia. After thermal stress, Hsp 27 is expressed in all tissues of the embryo. Finally, our data show that Hsp 27 exists in the rat embryo as three major isoforms indicative of different phosphorylation states. Furthermore, most Hsp 27 in the heart is phosphorylated, whereas in the rest of the embryo, nonphosphorylated Hsp 27 predominates. After thermal stress, levels of phosphorylated isoforms increase dramatically in nonheart tissues of the embryo. Together, these results suggest that Hsp 27 may play a role in the development of thermotolerance in the postimplantation mammalian embryo. © 1996 Wiley-Liss, Inc.     

胍基丁胺对血清诱导大鼠肺动脉平滑肌细胞增殖的影响

目的：观察胍基丁胺对血清诱导大鼠肺动脉血管平滑肌细胞（PASMCs）增殖的影响。方法：采用组织块贴壁法原代培养大鼠PASMCs,取对数生长期PASMCs分对照组和胍基丁胺组,比色法测定细胞培养液中乳酸脱氢酶（LDH）活力。液闪计数仪测定^3H-TdR掺入量,流式细胞仪测定细胞周期,图像分析法测定增殖细胞核原含量（PCNA）作为细胞增殖的指标。结果：胍基丁胺对PASMCs培养液中LDH活力无明显影响;胍基丁胺可显著减少血清诱导增殖PASMCs的^3H-TdR掺入量和PCNA的含量（P〈0．01）,使G0／G1期细胞比例显著增加,G2／M期细胞比例显著减少（P〈0．01）。随着胍基丁胺浓度的增加,PASMCs ^3H—TdR掺入量也相应显著减少（P〈0.01）。结论：胍基丁胺对PASMCs不产生明显的细胞毒性作用;但可抑制血清培养大鼠PASMCs的增殖,这种抑制作用呈剂量依赖性。
