为了从我国南海产织锦芋螺（Ｃｏｎｕｓｔｅｘｔｉｌｅ）中分离新的毒素序列并研究其应用价值,进行了织锦芋螺毒素基因的分离工作．从织锦芋螺毒管中提取ｍＲＮＡ,以Ａ族芋螺毒素的信号肽编码部分和３′端非翻译部分的保守序列为引物,通过ＲＴ－ＰＣＲ扩增和序列分析方法获得新的芋螺毒素序列．结果得到两种不同的α芋螺毒素序列,两者都属于α４／７亚型芋螺毒素,预测其成熟肽序列分别为Ｐｒｏ－Ｇｌｕ－Ｃｙｓ－Ｃｙｓ－Ｓｅｒ－Ａｓｐ－Ｐｒｏ－Ａｒｇ－Ｃｙｓ－Ａｓｎ－Ｓｅｒ－Ｓｅｒ－Ｈｉｓ－Ｐｒｏ－Ｇｌｕ－Ｌｅｕ－Ｃｙｓ－Ｇｌｙ（Ｃ端Ｇｌｙ可能被酰胺化）和Ｐｒｏ－Ｇｌｕ－Ｃｙｓ－Ｃｙｓ－Ｓｅｒ－Ｈｉｓ－Ｐｒｏ－Ａｌａ－Ｃｙｓ－Ａｓｎ－Ｖａｌ－Ａｓｐ－Ｈｉｓ－Ｐｒｏ－Ｇｌｕ－Ｉｌｅ－Ｃｙｓ－Ａｒｇ．采用传统的生化分离手段尚未从织锦芋螺中获得过α芋螺毒素序列,这两种α芋螺毒素作用的种属特异性、受体类型特异性和在小细胞肺癌的诊断和治疗中的应用价值有待进一步研究     

白细胞介素-2对大鼠海马谷氨酸能神经元和γ-氨基丁酸能神经元的影响———免疫组织化学和狭线杂交研究

本研究应用免疫组织化学（ＰＡＰ法）的方法,观察到侧脑室内注射白细胞介素２（ＩＬ２）后,大鼠海马回和齿状回内谷氨酸（Ｇｌｕ）免疫反应阳性神经元的数量明显减少、胞体皱缩、突起及其分支减少;γ氨基丁酸（ＧＡＢＡ）免疫反应阳性神经元的数量、突起及其分支皆减少。用３２Ｐ标记的ＧＡＢＡＴｃＤＮＡ探针对大鼠海马组织的ＧＡＢＡＴｍＲＮＡ进行狭线杂交结果显示：实验组大鼠海马组织的ＧＡＢＡＴｍＲＮＡ的含量明显增多。由于ＧＡＢＡ在ＧＡＢＡＴ的作用下,可转变为Ｇｌｕ,因此,以上结果表明ＩＬ２不仅可影响海马神经元合成和释放Ｇｌｕ和ＧＡＢＡ,而且还使Ｇｌｕ的释放量大于其合成量。这些变化可能与癫痫的发病机理有关     

Increased somatostatin mRNA expression in periventricular nucleus of rat hypothalamus during hypoxia

We reported that hypoxia inhibited the growth hormone (GH) and induced somatostatin (SS) release from the hypothalamic median eminence (ME) of rats. This study is designed to examine the SS mRNA alterations in the periventricular nucleus (PeN) of the hypothalamus in rats and the possible involvement of glucocorticoid (GC) during hypoxia. Rats were exposed to hypoxia in a simulated hypobaric chamber. SS mRNA levels in the PeN were tested by in situ hybridization. Hypoxia of 5-km altitude (10.8% O(2)) for 2, 5 and 24 h increased the SS mRNA expression by 34.72%, 50.31% and 95.05% (p<0.05), respectively. Severe hypoxia of 7-km altitude (8.2% O(2)) enhanced the SS expression by 79.08% (p<0.01), 74.90% (p<0.01) and 71.40% (p<0.05), respectively. Prolonged hypoxia (5 km for 5 days) exposure augmented a 2.5-fold SS mRNA (p<0.001). One week post adrenalectomy (ADX), SS mRNA level was significantly increased. During hypoxia, 5 km for 5 h, SS mRNA in ADX rats was not further increased. An increased SS mRNA was showed by pretreatment with low dose of dexamethasone (DEX) (125 microg/kg, i.p.) to ADX animals but this increase was depressed by a high dose of DEX (500 microg/kg, i.p.). The data suggested that (1) hypoxia stimulated the expression of SS mRNA in the PeN of rat hypothalamus. (2) Increased circulating GC levels might play a role in upregulating the SS mRNA in the rat PeN during hypoxia.     

微透析测试刺激皮肤和肌肉神经引起的天门冬氨酸和谷氨酸在脊髓的 …

To investigate the possible mechanisms underlying the difference of NMDA and non-NMDA receptors in spinal nociception originating in skin and muscle, release of aspartate (Asp) and glutamate (Glu) in the spinal dorsal horn was detected by stimulation of cutaneous and muscular nerves in cats using microdialysis technique. Asp and Glu were increased respectively by (323 +/- 55)% and (169 +/- 16)% following stimulation of cutaneous nerve, but by (150 +/- 16)% and (218 +/- 42)% respectively following stimulation of muscular nerve. Asp increase was approximately three times higher than that of Glu following cutaneous nerve-stimulation (P < 0.01), while Glu increase was approximately twice as high as that of Asp following muscular nerve-stimulation (P < 0.05). It is likely that nociceptive cutaneous and muscular inputs preferentially elicite release of Asp and Glu respectively, resulting in a functional differentiation of NMDA and non-NMDA receptor in the mediation of different nociceptive information.     

微透析测试刺激皮肤和肌肉神经引起的天门冬氨酸和谷氨酸在脊髓的释放

为分析ＮＭＤＡ和非ＮＭＤＡ受体在介导脊髓不同性质疼痛的机能分化,应用微透析技术,测量刺激皮肤和肌肉神经引起的天门冬氨酸（Ａｓｐ）和谷氨酸（Ｇｌｕ）在脊髓背角的释放。电刺激皮肤神经兴奋Ｃ纤维诱发的Ａｓｐ和Ｇｌｕ的释放分别是基础值的（３２３±５５）％（Ｐ＜００１）和（１６９±１６）％（Ｐ＜００５）;电刺激肌肉神经兴奋Ｃ纤维诱发的Ａｓｐ和Ｇｌｕ的释放分别是基础值的（１５０±１６）％（Ｐ＜００１）和（２１８±４２）％（Ｐ＜００５）。兴奋皮肤传入引起的Ａｓｐ释放明显高于Ｇｌｕ的释放（约３倍）;而兴奋肌肉传入引起的Ｇｌｕ释放明显高于Ａｓｐ的释放（约２倍）。从而提示,皮肤伤害性传入主要引起Ａｓｐ的释放增加,而肌肉的伤害性传入则主要引起Ｇｌｕ的释放增加,它们分别主要作用于ＮＭＤＡ和非ＮＭＤＡ受体而介导不同的痛传入信息。

Somatostatin Potently Stimulates In Vivo Striatal Dopamine and γ-Aminobutyric Acid Release by a Glutamate-Dependent Action

Abstract: We have used in vivo microdialysis in anaesthetised rats to investigate whether somatostatin (SRIF) can play a neuromodulatory role in the striatum. When 100 n M SRIF was retrodialysed for 15 min, it increased concentrations of dopamine (DA) by 28-fold, γ-aminobutyric acid (GABA) by eightfold, and glutamate (Glu) by sixfold as well as those of aspartate (Asp) and taurine (Tau). These effects were both calcium- and tetrodotoxin-sensitive. Lower (10 or 50 n M ) and higher (1 µ M ) SRIF concentrations were less effective. Rapid sampling showed that whereas Asp and Glu concentrations were raised for 3 min at the start of 15-min SRIF infusions, those of DA were increased for 12 min. A second 15-min application of 100 n M SRIF given 135 min after the first application failed to increase transmitter release. An NMDA receptor antagonist, 2-amino-5-phosphonopentanoic acid (200 µ M ), blocked SRIF (100 n M )-evoked Asp, Glu, Tau, and GABA release and reduced that of DA. An α-amino-3-hydroxy-5-methylisoxazole-4-propionic acid (AMPA)/kainate antagonist, 6,7-dinitroquinoxaline-2,3-dione (100 µ M ), blocked SRIF-induced DA and Tau release and reduced that of Asp, Glu, and GABA. These results show that SRIF increases DA, Glu, Asp, GABA, and Tau release in the rat striatum and suggest that its actions on DA and GABA release are mainly mediated through increased excitatory amino acid release.     

右美托咪定对脑缺血/再灌注大鼠海马兴奋性氨基酸含量及NMDA受体亚单位NR1表达的影响

目的：观察右美托咪定预处理对全脑缺血/再灌注大鼠海马细胞外谷氨酸（Glu）、天门冬氨酸（Asp）含量及N-甲基-D-天冬氨酸（NMDA）受体1（NR1）表达的影响,探讨右美托咪定脑保护作用及其神经递质机制。方法：雄性Wistar大鼠54只,随机分为3组（n=18）：假手术组、脑缺血/再灌注组和右美托咪定预处理组。用四血管闭塞法建立大鼠全脑缺血模型。收集清醒、缺血15 min及再灌注0~1 h微透析标本。于全脑缺血15 min再灌注1 h后,迅速断头取脑,采用免疫组化法和蛋白免疫印迹法检测海马NMDA受体NR1亚单位的表达情况。结果：与脑缺血/再灌注组相应时点比较,右美托咪定预处理组大鼠海马微透析液中Glu、Asp含量明显降低（P<0.05, 0.01）;免疫组化和Western-blot法检测显示右美托咪定预处理组大鼠海马组织NMDA受体亚单位NR1表达明显受抑制（P<0.05, 0.01）。结论：右美托咪定预处理不仅减少脑缺血/再灌注时兴奋性氨基酸释放,还能抑制NMDA受体亚单位NR1的高表达而产生脑保护作用。     

N-methyl-D-aspartate receptor antagonists enhance histamine neuron activity in rodent brain

The modulation of histamine neuron activity by various non-competitive NMDA-receptor antagonists was evaluated by changes in tele-methylhistamine (t-MeHA) levels and histidine decarboxylase (hdc) mRNA expression induced in rodent brain. The NMDA open-channel blockers phencyclidine (PCP) and MK-801 enhanced t-MeHA levels in mouse brain by 50-60%. Ifenprodil, which interacts with polyamine sites of NR2B-containing NMDA receptors, had no effect. PCP also increased hdc mRNA expression in the rat tuberomammillary nucleus. The enhancement of t-MeHA levels elicited by MK-801 (ED50 of approximately 0.1 mg/kg) was observed in the hypothalamus, cerebral cortex, striatum and hippocampus. Control t-MeHA levels and the t-MeHA response to MK-801 were not different in male and female mice. Double immunostaining for HDC and NMDA receptor subunits showed that histamine neurons of the rat tuberomammillary nucleus express NMDA receptor subunit 1 (NR1) with NMDA receptor subunit 2A (NR2A) and NMDA receptor 2B subunit (NR2B). In addition, immunoreactivity for the neuronal glutamate transporter EAAC1 was observed near most histaminergic perikarya. Hence, these findings support the existence of histamine/glutamate functional interactions in the brain. The increase in histamine neuron activity induced by NMDA receptor antagonists further suggests a role of histamine neurons in psychotic disorders. In addition, the decrease in MK-801-induced hyperlocomotion observed in mice after administration of ciproxifan further strengthens the potential interest of H3-receptor antagonist/inverse agonists for the symptomatic treatment of schizophrenia.

Somatostatin and CCK-8 modulate release of striatal amino acids: role of dopamine receptors

The effects of somatostatin (SOM) and cholecystokinin octapeptide (CCK-8) on basal and potassium-evoked release of neurotransmitter amino acids were investigated in slices of rat caudate nucleus (CN) and, for comparison, cerebral cortex (CX). Endogenous aspartate (Asp), glutamate (Glu), glycine (Gly), and gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) were measured by high performance liquid chromatography. In both CN and CX, potassium (5-55 mM) produced a concentration-dependent increase in the release of Asp, Glu, Gly, and GABA in the presence of extracellular Ca2+. CCK-8 (1 microM) stimulated in CN the basal and K+-evoked release of Gly to 231% and 160% of control, respectively; this effect was blocked by sulpiride (SULP), a dopamine receptor antagonist. In contrast, SOM (1 microM) inhibited the K+-evoked release of Glu in CN by 26%, an effect that was not blocked by SULP. SOM and CCK-8 did not significantly affect the basal or K+ (35 mM)-evoked release of other amino acids in the CN or of any amino acids in CX. The results indicate that: CCK-8 facilitation of Gly release is dependent of Gly release is dependent on dopamine receptor activation, whereas the inhibition by SOM of Glu release is not: and the effects of SOM and CCK-8 are specific with respect to the brain region affected.
