海枣曲霉β-半乳糖苷酶的提纯与性质

 通过过聚乙二醇6000-磷酸钾缓冲液双相分离、Sephadex G-100凝胶过滤、DEAE-Sephadex A-50离子交换层析、羟基磷灰石层析及SephadexG-100凝胶过滤等提纯步骤,从海枣曲霉(Aspergillus phoenicis)麦麸培养物抽提液中提纯得到凝胶电泳均一的β-半乳糖苷酶。该酶的最适pH为3.5—4.0,最适温度为60℃(反应15分钟),在pH5.0—8.5之间及60℃以下稳定。在65℃和70℃保温时失活50％的时间分别为27和2分钟。用SDS凝胶电泳法和梯度凝胶电泳法分别测得该酶的分子量为115,000和118,000。薄层凝胶等电聚焦法测得其等电点为pH4.6。

Morphological changes of sensory CGRP-immunoreactive and sympathetic nerves in peripheral tissues following chronic denervation

The morphological relationship between sensory and sympathetic nerves was studied in tissues of the eye and the oral cavity following chronic sympathetic or sensory denervation. Immunoreactivities for calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) and tyrosine hydroxylase (TH) were used as indexes to assess the changes of the two nerve populations after denervation. Following surgical sympathectomy, a marked increase of CGRP-containing fibres was seen in all tissues studied, while TH-imunoreactive fibres were totally depleated. Conversely, after capsaicin treatment, an increase of TH-immunoreactive nerves was found in the same tissues, concomitant with a sharp decrease of CGRP-immunoreactive nerves. These changes were particularly evident in iridial stroma and around blood vessels in all tissue, where sensory and sympathetic nerves have a closely overlapping distribution pattern. The altered proportion of sensory peptide- and catecholamine-containing nerves following sympathetic and sensory denervation suggest that there is a reciprocal trophic influence between the two nerve subsets, possibly with the intervention of neurotrophic substances such as nerve growth factor. These results indicate a close interaction between sensory peptidergic and sympathetic nervous systems in peripheral organs.     

Enhanced susceptibility of target KMT-17 cells to activated macrophages by treatment with the antitumor agent bleomycin

Summary We observed that after KMT-17 cells had been treated with bleomycin (BLM), even with a dose as high as 160 g/ml, they were still able to form colonies in soft agar. We then studied the susceptibility of KMT-17 cells treated with BLM to activated macrophages. During a colony inhibition assay, BLM-treated KMT-17 cells were found to be much more susceptile to activated macrophages than nontreated KMT-17 cells, moreover, a tumor neutralizing assay showed that the growth of BLM-treated KMT-17 cells was also significantly inhibited by activated macrophages as compared with nontreated KMT-17 cells. Macrophages activated by both BLM and the Nocardia rubra cell wall skeleton were able to mediate such tumor inhibition activity in BLM-treated KMT-17 cells. Activated macrophages did not seem to have strong antitumor activity against nontreated KMT-17 cells in vivo, however, the life span of the rats which were inoculated i. p. with KMT-17 cells was significantly expanded after the tumorbearing rats were given BLM i.p. The data presented here suggest that not only does BLM have a direct tumoricidal effect on KMT-17 cells, it also regulates immunosensitivity of targets to immune effectors. We also discuss the mechanism for enhancing the susceptibility of KMT-17 cells to activated macrophages brought about by treatment with BLM.Supported in part by a Grant-in-Aid for Cancer Research from the Japanese Ministry of Education, Science, and Culture

Preparation of [B23-D-alanine]des-(B25-B30)-hexapeptide-insulin by a combination of enzymic and non-enzymic synthesis.

Des-(B25-B30)-hexapeptide-insulin with B23-glycine replaced by D-alanine was prepared by a combination of enzymic and non-enzymic syntheses. The purified product was homogeneous in polyacrylamide-gel electrophoresis and could be crystallized. The biological activity in vivo of crystalline [B23-D-Ala]des-(B25-B30)-hexapeptide-insulin was determined as 58% of that of standard pig insulin (27 i.u./mg).     

猪-C反应蛋白的分离纯化及其性质的研究

以猪血清为材料,通过磷酸乙醇胺—琼脂糖亲和层析,Sepharose 4B柱层析和Sephacryl—S300凝胶过滤,获得了猪C—反应蛋白的结晶。猪C—反应蛋白可与肺炎球菌壁C多糖发生特异的沉淀反应,这种结合是依赖钙离子的。EDTA和一些磷脂代谢产物如磷酸胆碱,磷酸乙醇胺等,能抑制猪C—反应蛋白与C多糖的结合。在SDS—聚丙烯酰胺凝胶电泳及梯度聚丙烯酰胺凝胶电泳中,猪C—反应蛋白表现出与人C—反应蛋白相同的行为,亚基是一条分子量为23.5kD的肽链,全分子的表观分子量为150kD。猪C—反应蛋白与兔抗人C—反应的蛋白的抗血清能发生免疫交叉反应。
