角质形成细胞生长因子(KGF)在喉粘膜良性、癌前及恶性病变中的mRNA水平分析 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
利用原位杂交的方法检测KGFmRNA在正常喉粘膜上皮(N)、慢性非特异性炎症(IF)、不典型增生(DYS)及鳞癌(SCC)中的转录水平,探讨KGF在喉粘膜良性及恶性病变中的分布和可能的作用。结果表明,KGFmRNA不仅在间质中的成纤维细胞中表达,少量的炎细胞及血管内皮细胞中亦表达,而且从N、IF、DYS到SCC、KGFmRNA转录水平逐渐增强;上皮细胞及肿瘤性上皮细胞不表达KGFmRNA,KGFmRNA在分化差的SCC周围间质中表达较分化好的SCC周围间质增多。结论:KGF在上皮与间充质细胞的交互作用中发挥着重要的作用,对维持喉粘膜正常结构、代谢及喉癌的发生发展具有重要意义。 相似文献

The activity of the growth hormone secretagog, L-163,255, on growth hormone (GH), growth hormone-releasing factor (GRF), and somatostatin (SRIF) levels was evaluated in a porcine model of hypophyseal portal blood (HPB) collection. Young, castrated pigs had HPB and jugular blood collected for approximately 300 min. The blood collection was divided into discrete periods: baseline (BL) approximately 180 min; GH response period (RSP) approximately 90 min; and positive control period following a GRF bolus, 30 min. RSP was divided into a dominant response period (DOM) and a tail (TL). The spontaneous relationship between HPB GRF and SRIF and peripheral GH during BL has been reported (Proc Soc Exp Biol Med 217:188-196, 1998). The apex of the GH pulse resulting from L-163,255 administration was nonrandomly associated (P < 0.05) with descending periods of SRIF troughs. Frequency and amplitude of GRF and SRIF pulses, and frequency and depth of SRIF troughs were not different between BL and the beginning of DOM (the 20-30 min of GH increase). GH AUC was significantly greater (P < 0.05) for DOM compared to BL and TL, and for TL compared to BL. GRF AUC tended to be greater (P < 0.1) for RSP compared to BL, but the majority of the increase was in the TL period. There were no significant differences in the SRIF AUCs between the sampling periods. Furthermore, in a separate experiment, fos activity (a marker of neuronal activation) in the hypothalamus of pigs was examined after either L-163,255 (1x or 4x), isotonic saline (control), or hypertonic saline (positive control) administration. There were no differences in fos activity in the GRF, SRIF, or CRH immunopositive neurons between L-163,255 treatment and control. The pituitaries of the L-163,255-treated pigs showed marked fos activation compared to the controls. In conclusion, L-163,255 in pigs has its primary effect at the level of the anterior pituitary. 相似文献

Conventional treatment approaches have had little impact on the course of pancreatic cancer, which has the highest fatality rate among cancers. Gemcitabine, the primary therapeutic agent for pancreatic carcinoma, produces minimal survival benefit as a single agent. Therefore, numerous efforts have focused on gemcitabine combination treatments. Using a ratio design, this study established that combining pharmacologically achievable concentrations of ascorbate with gemcitabine resulted in a synergistic cytotoxic response in eight pancreatic tumor cell lines. Sensitization was evident regardless of inherent gemcitabine resistance and epithelial-mesenchymal phenotype. Our analysis suggested that the promiscuous oxidative actions of H(2)O(2) derived from pharmacologic ascorbate can culminate in synergism independent of the cancer cell's underlying phenotype and resistance to gemcitabine monotherapy. Gemcitabine-ascorbate combinations administered to mice bearing pancreatic tumor xenografts consistently enhanced inhibition of growth compared to gemcitabine alone, produced 50% growth inhibition in a tumor type not responsive to gemcitabine, and demonstrated a gemcitabine dose-sparing effect. These data support the testing of pharmacologic ascorbate in adjunctive treatments for cancers prone to high failure rates with conventional therapeutic regimens, such as pancreatic cancer. 相似文献

Concerted transpositions of mobile genetic elements coupled with fitness changes in Drosophila melanogaster 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3

In an inbred low-activity (LA) strain of Drosophila melanogaster with a low
level of fitness and a complex of inadaptive characters, in situ
hybridization reveals an invariant pattern of distribution of three
copia-like elements (mdg-1, mdg-3, and copia). Rare, spontaneous, multiple
transpositions of mobile elements in the LA strain were shown to be coupled
with a drastic increase of fitness. A changed pattern of various types of
mobile elements was also observed on selecting the LA strain for higher
fitness. High-fitness strains show transpositions of mobile elements to
definite chromosomal sites ("hot spots"). Concerted changes in the location
of three different mobile elements were found to be coupled with an
increase of fitness. The mdg-1 distribution patterns were also examined in
two low-fitness strains independently selected from the high-fitness ones.
Fitness decrease was accompanied by mdg-1 excision from the hot spots of
their location usually detected in the high-fitness strains. The results
suggest the existence of a system of adaptive transpositions of mobile
elements that takes part in fitness control.

Chemiluminescence (CL) was examined in phytohemagglutinin (PHA)-stimulated control and lupus lymphocytes because oxidative radicals have the chemical potential to generate DNA changes recently observed in lupus lymphocytes. Increased CL was found in 30 of 65 PHA-stimulated lupus lymphocyte samples by a luminol assay. CL did not correspond statistically to oxidative potential measured by a nitroblue tetrazolium assay. CL did not appear to be related to disease activity, organ involvement, or drug therapy. However, six of six males tested had positive CL activity. Cocultivation of CL-positive PHA-stimulated lupus lymphocytes with metabolic inhibitors of various oxidative enzymes revealed that 50 microM arachidonic acid dramatically inhibited the excess oxidation. A specific inhibitor of 5-lipoxygenase activity, 3 microM nordihydroguaiaretic acid, abolished excess CL activity. These studies suggest that chemiluminescence assays can be used to better understand the oxidative metabolism in lupus lymphocytes. The enzyme 5-lipoxygenase may be dysfunctional in a subgroup of lupus patients. 相似文献
