本文研究了籽瓜多糖(SWP)对H2O2致PC12细胞氧化应激损伤的影响及其机制。通过建立H2O2诱导PC12细胞氧化损伤模型,CCK-8法测定细胞存活率;硫辛酰胺脱氢酶催化的INT显色反应检测乳酸脱氢酶(LDH)释放量,DCFH-DA检测细胞内ROS;ELISA法检测8-OHd G;JC-1染色检测细胞线粒体膜电位;利用caspase-3可以催化底物Ac-DEVD-p NA的反应检测caspase-3活性;应用caspase-9催化特异性底物Ac-LEHDp NA检测caspase-9活性。结果显示:过氧化氢组与对照组相比,终浓度为500μmol/L H2O2作用细胞24 h后,细胞活力显著下降(P0.01);LDH释放量和细胞内ROS增加(P0.01);8-OHd G含量上升(P0.01);线粒体膜电位下降(P0.01);caspase-3和caspase-9活性增强(P0.01)。与H2O2损伤组相比,不同剂量的SWP预处理后,能显著改善H2O2引起的上述指标的变化(P0.05)。由此得出:SWP对H2O2诱导的PC12细胞的氧化损伤具有一定的保护作用。     

小剂量多巴胺对氧化应激诱导大鼠心肌细胞凋亡的影响及其机制

目的:探讨小剂量多巴胺(DA)对氧化应激诱导大鼠心肌细胞凋亡的作用及可能机制。方法:采用培养的新生大鼠心肌细胞,随机分为正常对照组(control),过氧化氢处理组(H2O2),小剂量多巴胺干预组(DA+H2O2),多巴胺受体Ⅰ型阻断剂干预组(DR1+DA+H2O2),多巴胺受体II型阻断剂干预组(DR2+DA+H2O2);应用流式细胞仪、MTT检测心肌细胞的凋亡率,透射电子显微镜检测细胞超微结构的变化,比色法检测细胞培养液中乳酸脱氢酶(LDH)、超氧化物歧化酶(SOD)活性,Western blot检测Cytochrone c、Caspase 3、Caspase 9的蛋白表达情况。结果:与单纯H2O2组相比,小剂量多巴胺(10μmol/L)可降低LDH活性,升高SOD活性,抑制心肌细胞凋亡和凋亡相关蛋白的表达;DR1阻断剂SCH-23390干预后,能够部分逆转这种作用,而DR2阻断剂Haloperido干预后没有明显的变化。结论:小剂量多巴胺可能通过DR1抑制氧化应激诱导的心肌细胞凋亡。     

鱼藤酮诱导线粒体轻度损伤细胞氧化应激时硫氧还蛋白转录水平降低

观察鱼藤酮诱导的线粒体轻度损伤细胞氧化应激时硫氧还蛋白转录水平的变化,探讨细胞氧化损伤的可能机制。通过荧光素发光法检测ATP生成、细胞内活性氧(ROS)水平的变化,流式细胞术检测线粒体膜电位,了解低剂量鱼藤酮对线粒体功能的影响;继而用H2O2诱导细胞氧化损伤,MTT法检测细胞活性,观察正常及线粒体缺陷细胞氧化应激时,胞内硫氧还蛋白(Trx)mRNA水平的变化。结果表明,鱼藤酮以剂量依赖方式抑制线粒体ATP的产生、降低线粒体膜电位,而细胞内ROS水平增高;当线粒体损伤细胞氧化应激时胞内Trx mRNA水平降低,提示鱼藤酮诱导线粒体轻度损伤细胞抗氧化能力降低与Trx转录受到抑制有关。     

H2O2诱导的线粒体损伤神经元内硫氧还蛋白mRNA水平的变化

线粒体缺陷和氧化应激参与了神经退行性疾病的发病机制。叠氮钠(NaN3)是线粒体细胞色素C氧化酶(COX)的特异性抑制剂,能诱导线粒体缺陷。本实验通过细胞活性检测(MTT法),形态学观察,分析H2O2对原代培养的正常神经元及NaN3诱导的线粒体缺陷神经元的损伤作用的差异。并通过RT-PCR半定量法检测H2O2损伤后两类神经元内硫氧还蛋白(Thioredoxin,Trx)mRNA水平的变化,以阐明细胞内这一重要氧化还原调节蛋白在神经元损伤时的作用机制。实验表明,在正常神经元内,H2O2的损伤对Trx表达量的改变似乎不明显;而线粒体缺陷神经元内Trx的表达量下降,且对于H2O2的损伤具有浓度、时间依赖性。提示：在线粒体功能缺陷神经元中,Trx似乎发挥更重要的作用。

外周苯二氮(艹卓)受体激动剂Ro5-4864抑制大鼠心肌细胞线粒体通透性转换

线粒体通透性转换（mitochondrial permeability transition,MPT）导致线粒体氧化应激性损伤。近年研究认为,位于线粒体外膜的外周苯二氮节受体（peripheral benzodiazepine receptor,PBR）参与了线粒体的重要生理功能。本研究在心肌细胞线粒体水平探讨激动PBR能否抑制Ca^2＋诱发的MPT。分离Sprague—Dawley大鼠心肌细胞线粒体,将PBR激动剂Ro5-4864（50、100、200μmol／L）和线粒体孵育,利用150μmol／L Ca^2＋诱发MPT,部分线粒体在与100μmol／L Ro5-4864孵育前5min加入MPT孔道开放剂苍术苷（atractyloside,ATR）。采用分光光度法观察线粒体膨胀情况：Westernblot检测线粒体细胞色素C（cytochrome C,CytoC）释放;利用荧光探针JC-1在激光共聚集显微镜下观察线粒体膜电位的变化。50、100、200μmol／L Ro5-4864均显著抑制Ca^2＋诱发的520nm处线粒体吸光度的下降,而且抑制Ca^2＋引起的线粒体CytoC释放和线粒体膜电位下降,但ATR可阻断R05—4864的上述作用。结果提示,PBR激动剂可抑制大鼠心肌MPT,保持线粒体CytoC含量和稳定线粒体膜电位,减轻线粒体损伤。PBR的激活可能成为减轻心肌细胞应激性损伤及心肌保护的新方法。

Synthesis and turnover of cerebrosides and phosphatidylserine of myelin and microsomal fractions of adult and developing rat brain.

The synthesis and turnover of cerebrosides and phospholipids was followed in microsomal and myelin fractions of developing and adult rat brains after an intracerebral injection of [U-14C]serine. The kinetics of incorporation of radioactivity into microsomal and myelin cerebrosides indicate the possibility of a precursor-product relationship between cerebrosides of these membranes. The specific radioactivity of myelin cerebrosides was corrected for the deposition of newly formed cerebrosides in myelin. Multiphasic curves were obtained for the decline in specific radioactivity of myelin and microsomal cerebrosides, suggesting different cerebroside pools in these membranes. The half-life of the fast turning-over pool of cerebrosides of myelin was 7 and 22 days for the developing and adult rat brain respectively. The half-life of the slowly turning-over pool of myelin cerebrosides was about 145 days for both groups of animals. The half-life of the rapidly turning-over microsomal cerebrosides was calculated to be 20 and 40 h for the developing and adult animals respectively. The half-life of the intermediate and slowly turning-over microsomal cerebrosides was 11 and 60 days respectively, for both groups of animals. The amount of incorporation of radioactivity into microsomal cerebrosides from L-serine was greatly decreased in the adult animals, and greater amounts of the precursor were directed towards the synthesis of phosphatidylserine. In the developing animals, considerable amounts of cerebrosides were synthesized from L-serine, besides phosphatidylserine. The time-course of incorporation indicated that a precursor-product relationship exists between microsomal and myelin phosphatidylserine. The half-life of microsomal phosphatidylserine was calculated to be about 8 h for the fast turning-over pool in both groups of animals.     

Identification and composition of the tonsillar and anal enterococcal and streptococcal flora of dogs and cats

Enterococcus faecalis was the most frequently isolated enterococcal species from anal swabs and tonsils of dogs and cats, although in the anal samples from dogs Ent. hirae was found almost as often as Ent. faecalis. Most Ent.faecium strains from dog tonsils differed from those associated with humans and other animals in that they fermented sorbitol. Typical Ent. avium as well as atypical Ent. avium -like strains were seen in dogs, while the related species Ent. raffinosus was associated with cat tonsils. Enterococcus cecorum also occurred mainly in cats. Certain atypical strains, presumptively identified as Ent. cecorum , shared characteristics with Ent. columbae.
The most frequent streptococcal species in tonsils of cats and dogs were Streptococcus suis and Strep. canis. Streptococcus canis and Strep. bovis predominated in anal swabs. The canine Strep. suis differed from the common porcine strains in fermenting mannitol.
Forty-seven of the 288 isolates examined could not be identified or related to known species. The characteristics of two groups of these bacteria, provisionally called 'Ton 31 group' and 'O7 group' are described.     

Molecular characterisation of species and genotypes of Cryptosporidium and Giardia and assessment of zoonotic transmission

The molecular characterisation of species and genotypes of Cryptosporidium and Giardia is essential for accurately identifying organisms and assessing zoonotic transmission. Results of recent molecular epidemiological studies strongly suggest that zoonotic transmission plays an important role in cryptosporidiosis epidemiology. In such cases the most prevalent zoonotic species is Cryptosporidium parvum. Genotyping and subtyping data suggest that zoonotic transmission is not as prevalent in the epidemiology of giardiasis. Molecular characterisation of Cryptosporidium and Giardia is a relatively recent application that is evolving as new genes are found that increase the accuracy of identification while discovering a greater diversity of species and yet unnamed taxa within these two important genera. As molecular data accumulate, our understanding of the role of zoonotic transmission in epidemiology and clinical manifestations is becoming clearer.

Kinetics and thermodynamics of peroxidase- and laccase-catalyzed oxidation of N-substituted phenothiazines and phenoxazines

N -substituted phenothiazines (PTs) and phenoxazines (POs) catalyzed by fungal Coprinus cinereus peroxidase and Polyporus pinsitus laccase were investigated at pH 4–10. In the case of peroxidase, an apparent bimolecular rate constant (expressed as k _cat/K _m) varied from 1 ×10⁷M⁻¹s⁻¹to 2.6×10⁸M⁻¹s⁻¹ at pH 7.0. The constants for PO oxidation were higher in comparison to PT. pH dependence revealed two or three ionizable groups with pK _a values of 4.9–5.7 and 7.7–9.7 that significantly affected the activity of peroxidase. Single-turnover experiments showed that the limiting step of PT oxidation was reduction of compound II and second-order rate constants were obtained which were consistent with the constants at steady-state conditions. Laccase-catalyzed PT and PO oxidation rates were lower; apparent bimolecular rate constants varied from 1.8×10⁵M⁻¹s⁻¹ to 2.0×10⁷M⁻¹s⁻¹ at pH 5.3. PO constants were higher in comparison to PT, as was the case with peroxidase. The dependence of the apparent bimolecular constants of compound II or copper type 1 reduction, in the case of peroxidase or laccase, respectively, was analyzed in the framework of the Marcus outer-sphere electron-transfer theory. Peroxidase-catalyzed reactions with PT, as well as PO, fitted the same hyperbolic dependence with a maximal oxidation rate of 1.6×10⁸M⁻¹s⁻¹ and a reorganization energy of 0.30 eV. The respective parameters for laccase were 5.0×10⁷M⁻¹s⁻¹ and 0.29 eV. Received: 20 September 1999 / Accepted: 24 February 2000
