The intact parasympathetic nerve promotes submandibular gland regeneration through ductal cell proliferation

ObjectivesSalivary gland regeneration is closely related to the parasympathetic nerve; however, the mechanism behind this relationship is still unclear. The aim of this study was to evaluate the relationship between the parasympathetic nerve and morphological differences during salivary gland regeneration.Materials and MethodsWe used a duct ligation/deligation‐induced submandibular gland regeneration model of Sprague‐Dawley (SD) rats. The regenerated submandibular gland with or without chorda lingual (CL) innervation was detected by haematoxylin–eosin staining, real‐time PCR (RT‐PCR), immunohistochemistry and Western blotting. We counted the number of Ki67‐positive cells to reveal the proliferation process that occurs during gland regeneration. Finally, we examined the expression of the following markers: aquaporin 5, cytokeratin 7, neural cell adhesion molecule (NCAM) and polysialyltransferases.ResultsIntact parasympathetic innervation promoted submandibular gland regeneration. The process of gland regeneration was significantly repressed by cutting off the CL nerve. During gland regeneration, Ki67‐positive cells were mainly found in the ductal structures. Moreover, the expression of NCAM and polysialyltransferases‐1 (PST) expression in the innervation group was significantly increased during early regeneration and decreased in the late stages. In the denervated submandibular glands, the expression of NCAM decreased during regeneration.ConclusionsOur findings revealed that the regeneration of submandibular glands with intact parasympathetic innervation was associated with duct cell proliferation and the increased expression of PST and NCAM.

酵母PMT1和TED1基因在细胞壁应激反应中的作用

实验室前期研究表明,蛋白质O-甘露糖转移酶1 (Protein O-mannosyltransferase 1,Pmt1p) 和Ted1p（Traffcking of Emp24p/Erv25p-dependent cargo disrupted）在细胞寿命和内质网应激反应方面存在相互调控关系。进一步研究酵母Pmt1p和Ted1p在细胞壁应激反应中（诱导剂为荧光增白剂或刚果红）的作用。观察PMT1基因缺失（pmt1Δ）酵母菌株和TED1基因缺失（ted1Δ）酵母菌株,以及PMT1和TED1双基因缺失（pmt1Δ ted1Δ）酵母菌株在细胞壁应激反应条件下的克隆形成能力和细胞分裂增殖活性;qRT-PCR检测细胞壁应激反应通路中Slt2p、Ssd1p和Mpt5p等效应蛋白的转录水平。结果表明,在细胞壁应激反应条件下,与对照菌株的生长状态比较,pmt1Δ菌株生长缓慢,ted1Δ菌株生长较快;进一步缺失PMT1基因使得ted1Δ菌株生长缓慢。与对照菌株中效应蛋白的转录水平比较,pmt1Δ菌株和pmt1Δted1Δ菌株中SLT2、SSD1和MPT5基因的转录水平明显上调,ted1Δ菌株中的无明显变化;与pmt1Δ菌株比较,pmt1Δted1Δ菌株中SLT2和MPT5表达明显下调,SSD1表达无明显变化。缺失TED1基因增强酵母细胞对细胞壁应激反应的抵抗性;进一步缺失PMT1基因增强ted1Δ菌株对应激反应的敏感性,上调细胞壁应激反应通路中效应蛋白的转录表达水平。     

LncRNA TUG1 acts as a competing endogenous RNA to mediate CTGF expression by sponging miR-133b in myocardial fibrosis after myocardial infarction

Myocardial fibrosis (MF) is one of the basic causes of many cardiovascular diseases. Noncoding RNAs (ncRNAs), including microRNA (miRNA) and long noncoding RNA (lncRNA), have been reported to play an indispensable role in MF. The current work is focused on investigating the biological role of lncRNA taurine upregulation gene 1 (TUG1) in activating cardiac myofibroblasts as well as the underlying mechanism. The outcome revealed that after myocardial infarction TUG1 expression increased and miR-133b expression decreased in the rat model of MF. The expression level of TUG1 increased following AngII treatment in cardiac myofibroblast. TUG1 knockdown inhibited the Ang-II induced cardiac myofibroblast activation and TUG1 overexpression increased proliferation and collagen generation of cardiac myofibroblasts. Bioinformatic prediction programs predicted that TUG1 had MRE directly combined with miR-133b seed sequence, luciferase activity, and RIP experiments indicated that TUG1, acted as a sponger and interacted with miR-133b in cardiac myofibroblasts. Furthermore, a target of miR-133b was CTGF and CTGF knockdown counteracted the promotion of MF by miR-133b knockdown. Collectively, our study suggested that TUG1 mediates CTGF expression by sponging miR-133b in the activation of cardiac myofibroblasts. The current work reveals a unique role of the TUG1/miR-133b/CTGF axis in MF, thus suggesting its immense therapeutic potential in the treatment of cardiac diseases.

Tourettesyndrome免疫病因学研究进展

多发性抽动症（Tourette syndrome）是一种慢性神经精神性疾病,好发于儿童和青少年,主要表现为一个或多个部位肌肉运动性或发声性抽动,发作期持续超过一年,间歇期不超过3个月。TS的病因和发病机制至今仍未明确,目前认为其发病与免疫因素,环境心理因素,遗传因素,生物化学因素等多种因素有关,目前,A族B溶血性链球菌与Ts的发生跟发展的关系已有所报道,较多研究是关于链球茵感染的,一些免疫相关研究发现与链球菌感染有关的小儿自身免疫性神经精神疾病会引发或加重抽动症状。另外,过敏性变态反应性疾病与Ts患儿的自身免疫应答活跃的关系也有所报道。神经．内分泌一免疫网络学说认为,外周免疫系统跟中枢神经系统之间,可通过直接接触或通过产生并释放出来的生物活性因子进行信息交流。细胞因子正是两大系统间相互作用的信使,不仅可以调节免疫,而且还可以调控神经元和神经胶质细胞的功能。细胞因子与神经介质、内分泌激素共同组成机体细胞间的信号分子,参与免疫系统并激活神经递质及激素间的信息传递,与精神障碍和心理机体反应密切相关。因此,有关免疫病因学异常可能是部分易感患儿发病的机制,文章从感染免疫学,过敏性变态反应性疾病,以及细胞因子调节网络等与免疫相关的几个方面加以综述。     

Breast cancer-derived K172N,D301V mutations abolish Na/H exchanger regulatory factor 1 inhibition of platelet-derived growth factor receptor signaling

Na⁺/H⁺ exchanger regulatory factor 1 (NHERF1) is a scaffold protein known to interact with a number of cancer-related proteins. nherf1 Mutations (K172N and D301V) were recently identified in breast cancer cells. To investigate the functional properties of NHERF1, wild-type and cancer-derived nherf1 mutations were stably expressed in SKMES-1 cells respectively. NHERF1-wt overexpression suppressed the cellular malignant phenotypes, including proliferation, migration, and invasion. nherf1 Mutations (K172N and D301V) caused complete or partial loss of NHERF1 functions by affecting the PTEN/NHERF1/PDGFRβ complex formation, inactivating NHERF1 inhibition of PDGF-induced AKT and ERK activation, and attenuating the tumor-suppressor effects of NHERF1-wt. These results further demonstrated the functional consequences of breast cancer-derived nherf1 mutations (K172N and D301V), and suggested the causal role of NHERF1 in tumor development and progression.
