眼镜蛇毒NGF通过PI3K/AKT信号通路对肝星状细胞的影响

为探讨PI3K/Akt信号通路在眼镜蛇毒神经生长因子(NGF)诱导肝星状细胞凋亡中的作用,本实验分别采用CCK8和流式细胞术检测NGF对HSC-T6细胞增殖及凋亡作用,从而找出NGF作用HSC-T6细胞的最小有效浓度,同时应用Western Blot法分析NGF对细胞蛋白Akt磷酸化水平的影响。结果发现NGF浓度为4μg/m L时为诱导HSC-T6细胞凋亡的最小有效浓度,并且在作用HSC-T6细胞后,P-Akt的表达水平降低,Akt的表达量却增加。将该浓度NGF与信号通路抑制剂LY294002联合使用则协同作用增强。因此,眼镜蛇毒神经生长因子诱导HSC-T6细胞凋亡作用与PI3K/Akt信号通路有关。

MAPKs介导NMDA诱导的大鼠皮层神经元凋亡(英文)

NMDA诱导兴奋毒造成的神经损伤,包括细胞的凋亡和坏死。本研究旨在探讨神经元凋亡在NMDA兴奋毒所致大鼠皮层神经元死亡中的所占比例,并分析了NMDA致神经元凋亡的信号通路机制。通过使用Caspase抑制剂和测定乳酸脱氢酶活性,研究NMDA(100μmol/L,2h)兴奋毒所致的神经元凋亡;并使用MAPKs选择性抑制剂,分别采用Caspase-3活性检测,TUNEL和Annexin V染色方法,进一步观察MAPKs通路中细胞外信号调节激酶(ERK)、c-Jun N-末端激酶(JNK)和p38 MAPK三条不同途径在NMDA所致神经元凋亡中的作用。结果显示:(1)Caspase依赖的凋亡占NMDA所致细胞死亡总数的22.49%;(2)p38 MAPK抑制剂SB203580(10μmol/L)使NMDA诱导的caspase-3活性降低30.43%(P0.05);而ERK抑制剂PD98059(20μmol/L)和JNK抑制剂SP600125(20 μmol/L)不影响caspase-3的活性;(3)SB203580(10μmol/L)使NMDA所致的TUNEL阳性细胞数减少33.10%(P0.05);而PD98059(20μmol/L)或SP600125(20μmol/L)都没有作用;(4)Annexin V染色结果显示,SB203580(10μmol/L)使NMDA所致的早期凋亡细胞减少55.56%(P0.05);SP600125(20μmol/L)使NMDA所致的晚期凋亡/死亡细胞减少67.59%(P0.05);PD98059(20μmol/L)对细胞凋亡/死亡没有明显作用。以上结果表明,NMDA介导的大鼠皮层神经元死亡除坏死外,还包含有一小部分神经元凋亡;p38 MAPK途径,而非JNK和ERK途径,介导了NMDA诱导的神经元凋亡,抑制与此相关的凋亡信号通路可发挥神经保护作用;JNK途径可能介导了NMDA所致的神经元坏死而非凋亡。     

Suppression of Ehrlich carcinoma growth by cobra venom factor

Cobra venom factor (CVF) depletes the complement system of the blood by forming stable convertase C3/C5 of the alternative pathway. We found that CVF from the Thailand cobra venom slows down the growth of subcutaneous Ehrlich carcinoma (EC) in mice at a dose of 1.7 nmol/g. Previously, we described a similar effect for the nerve growth factor (NGF) from the venom of this cobra. However, these factors did not exhibit either synergy or additive effect. On the contrary, they neutralized the antitumor effect of each other when they were administered simultaneously. Therefore, on the one hand, the NGF antitumor effect against EC manifests itself under the conditions of inflammation, and normal functioning of the complement system is necessary for this effect to occur. On the other hand, suppression of the humoral immune system leads to a slowdown of the EC growth, but administration of NGF prevents this.

Primary structure of cobra complement component C3.

Complement component C3 is a multifunctional protein known to interact specifically with more than 10 different plasma proteins or cell surface receptors. Cobra venom contains cobra venom factor, a structural analogue of C3 that shares some properties with C3 (e.g., formation of a C3/C5 convertase) but differs in others (e.g., susceptibility to regulation by factors H and I). The elucidation of structural differences between C3 and cobra venom factor can be expected to help identify functionally important regions of C3 molecules. To that end we have undertaken the molecular cloning of both cobra C3 and cobra venom factor to take advantage of the unique biologic system where both proteins are produced by the same species. We report the primary structure of cobra C3 mRNA and the derived protein structure. Cobra C3 mRNA is 5211 bp in length. It contains an open reading frame of 4953 bp coding for a single pre-pro-C3 molecule, consisting of a 22-amino acid signal sequence, a 633-amino acid beta-chain (70 kDa), and a 992-amino acid alpha-chain (112 kDa) which is separated from the beta-chain by four arginine residues. There are no N-glycosylation sites in cobra C3. Cobra C3 exhibits approximately 58% nucleotide sequence identity with C3 from mammalian species. At the protein level, sequence identity is approximately 52% and sequence similarity approximately 71%. All 27 cysteine residues are highly conserved as are the C3 convertase cleavage site, the thioester site, and the factor B binding site. Cobra C3 also seems to have homologous binding sites for factor H and properdin, as well as a conserved sequence in the functionally important region of the C3a anaphylatoxin. The sequence homology at the CR2 and CR3 binding sites does not exceed the overall sequence homology. Accordingly, the existence of CR2 and CR3 binding sites can neither be deduced nor excluded.     

Biomimetic affinity purification of cardiotoxin and its pharmacological effects on the nervous system

Cobra venom is a very precious natural resource. The traditional method for purification of cardiotoxin from cobra venom is a multi-step, high cost, and low recovery procedure. By molecular modeling and docking with SYBYL software, we designed and synthesized an affinity ligand, m-aminobenzoic acid, for high efficiency purification of this therapeutically useful Chinese cobra venom cardiotoxin. The one-step recovery of cardiotoxin reached 64% and the purity reached 92% upon purification. The binding capacity of this synthetic ligand was 9.1 mg cardiotoxin/g moist weight gel and the affinity constant for cardiotoxin was 5.5 x 10(3) M(-1). Unlike a natural affinity ligand, this synthetic ligand is highly stable, and has great potential for industrial scale production of cardiotoxin. In addition, we examined the effects of cardiotoxin on the nervous system in a mouse model. Results showed that cardiotoxin could maintain analgesic effects for 120 min with a dose of less than 0.06 mg/kg (2.8% of the LD(50)). Administration of 0.12 mg/kg cardiotoxin could improve scopolamine impairments of memory in mice. These results suggest that cardiotoxin may be a potential drug for nervous system diseases.     

Production of potent antivenin against cobra venom with conjugated-cobrotoxin.

Cobra venom (Naja naja atra) and its fractions obtained by ammonium sulfate precipitation were subjected to chromatography on CM-Cellulose colum. A highly purified cobrotoxin obtained by the repeated chromatography on preparative CM-Cellulose column was 6.7 times more toxic than the original cobra venom. The toxin was detoxified by a bifunctional reagent, glutaraldehyde, to about 99.8% and utilized for immunization in animals. Mice received 4 weekly immunization with detoxified cobrotoxin and challenged one week after the last injection showed 60% protection in rabbits by immunization with detoxified cobrotoxin reached 360 LD50 neutralizing level against the cobra venom within 30 days. The results indicate that it is feasible and promising to prepare potent antivenin in animals by glutaraldehyde-treated cobrotoxin.

Structural features of carbohydrate moieties in snake venom glycoproteins.

The structures of the carbohydrate moieties of glycoproteins in snake venoms are largely unknown. In the present study, we have analyzed venoms of several species of snakes as well as plasma and tissue glycoproteins from one species of cobra (Naja naja kaouthia) by lectin affinity staining of Western blots. The data demonstrate that glycoproteins in cobra venom invariably contain terminal alpha-galactosyl residues with negligible proportions of sialic acids. Interestingly, however, terminal alpha-galactosyl residues are present in significantly lower proportions in cobra tissues such as brain, liver, lung, kidney, spleen, muscle, and totally absent in cobra plasma glycoproteins. In sharp contrast to cobras, venom glycoproteins of other snakes do not contain terminal alpha-galactosyl residues but do contain terminal 2,3- and/or 2,6-linked sialic acids as well as beta-galactosyl residues. Cobra venom also contains high molecular weight heavily glycosylated proteins bearing poly-N-acetyllactosaminyl oligosaccharides, the majority of which appear to be linked to the protein core via O-glycosidic bonds.     

TGF-β_1对不同阶段哮喘模型大鼠气道平滑肌细胞增殖的作用

目的探讨TGF-β1对不同阶段哮喘大鼠气道平滑肌细胞（ASMCs）增殖的作用。方法建立2周、6周哮喘大鼠模型,分别以1μg/L、10μg/L和100μg/LTGF-β1干预ASMCs生长。采用流式细胞仪、MTT法检测ASMCs增殖情况,观察不同浓度TGF-β1对ASMCs增殖的影响。结果 2周和6周哮喘组ASMCs的S期比例、A值分别为（34.31±1.41）%、（35.96±3.46）%;（0.546±0.005）、（0.559±0.009）与对照组（12.24±2.64）%、（0.289±0.009）比较均显著增高（均P〈0.01）。2周、6周哮喘模型组的各TGF-β1干预组ASMCs的S期比例、A值与各自哮喘组比较均显著升高（均P〈0.01）,10μg/L和100μg/LTGF-β1组比1μg/LTGF-β1组对ASMCs增殖作用明显增加（P〈0.01）,10μg/LTGF-β1组和100μg/LTGF-β1组相比,ASMCs增殖细胞占细胞总数的百分比无明显变化,两种浓度增殖作用无有明显差别（P〉0.05）。而2周和6周哮喘组相比,加入不同浓度TGF-β1干预后的差别不大（P〉0.05）。结论与正常鼠相比,2周和6周哮喘大鼠气道平滑肌细胞增殖明显,处于S期的细胞比例明显增高,6周哮喘大鼠气道平滑肌较2周哮喘大鼠增殖更明显。经TGF-β1干预后,2周和6周哮喘哮喘大鼠气道平滑肌细胞处于S期的细胞比例增加,增殖增强,提示TGF-β1可能在哮喘早期阶段即可促进大鼠气道平滑肌细胞增殖,并促进各阶段哮喘大鼠气道平滑肌细胞持续增殖。     

N-linked oligosaccharides of cobra venom factor contain novel alpha(1-3)galactosylated Le(x) structures

Cobra venom factor (CVF), a nontoxic, complement-activating glycoprotein in cobra venom, is a functional analog of mammalian complement component C3b. The carbohydrate moiety of CVF consists exclusively of N-linked oligosaccharides with terminal alpha1-3-linked galactosyl residues, which are antigenic in human. CVF has potential for several medical applications, including targeted cell killing and complement depletion. Here, we report a detailed structural analysis of the oligosaccharides of CVF. The structures of the oligosaccharides were determined by lectin affinity chromatography, antibody affinity blotting, compositional and methylation analyses, and high-resolution (1)H-NMR spectroscopy. Approximately 80% of the oligosaccharides are diantennary complex-type, approximately 12% are tri- and tetra-antennary complex-type, and approximately 8% are oligomannose type structures. The majority of the complex-type oligosaccharides terminate in Galalpha1-3Galbeta1-4(Fucalpha1-3)GlcNAcbeta1, a unique carbohydrate structural feature abundantly present in the glycoproteins of cobra venom.
