A型激酶锚定蛋白的结构和生物学功能

cAMP依赖性蛋白激酶A(PKA)通过A型激酶锚定蛋白(Akinaseanchorproteins,AKAPs)靶向亚细胞位点,PKA识别它的底物或效应蛋白,从而引导并放大cAMP信号的生物学效应。AKAPs是功能上相关的调节蛋白家族,具有结合PKA的保守区和引导AKAPPKA复合体到亚细胞位点的靶向区。AKAPs不仅与PKA相互作用,也与其它信号分子作用,主要是磷酸酶和激酶。AKAPPKA复合体可汇集和整合来自各种通路的信号,该复合体不仅可局部增强cAMP和其它信号,通过降低PKA的基础活性,还可发挥远程效应。     

Role of c-Abl in the DNA damage stress response

c-Abl has been implicated in many cellular processes including differentiation, division, adhesion, death, and stress response, c-Abl is a latent tyrosine kinase that becomes activated in response to numerous extra- and intra-cellular stimuli. Here we briefly review the current knowledge about c-Abl involvement in the DNA-damage stress response and its implication on cell physiology.     

WNK1： analysis of protein kinase structure, downstream targets, and potential roles in hypertension

The WNK kinases are a recently discovered family of serine-threonine kinases that have been shown to play an essential role in the regulation of electrolyte homeostasis, lntronic deletions in the WNK1 gene resuk in its overexpression and lead to pseudohypoaldosteronism type Ⅱ, a disease with salt-sensitive hypertension and hyperkalemia. This review focuses on the recent evidence elucidating the structure of the kinase domain of WNK1 and functions of these kinases in normal and disease physiology. Their functions have implications for understanding the biochemical mechanism that could lead to the retention or insertion of proteins in the plasma membrane. The WNK kinases may be able to influence ion homeostasis through its effects on synaptotagmin function.     

Prolonged Alzheimer-like tau hyperphosphorylation induced by simultaneous inhibition of phosphoinositol-3 kinase and protein kinase C in N2a cells

Co-injection of wortmannin (inhibitor of phosphatidylinositol-3 kinase, PI3K) and GF109203X(inhibitor of protein kinase C, PKC) into the rat brain was found to induce spatial memory deficiency and enhance tau hyperphosphorylation in the hippocampus of rat brain. To establish a cell model with durative Alzheimer-like tau hyperphosphorylation in this study, we treated N2a neuroblastoma cells with wortmannin and GF109203X separately and simultaneously, and measured the glycogen synthase kinase 3 (GSK-3)activity by y-32p-labeling and the level of tau phosphorylation by Western blotting. It was found that the application of wortmannin alone only transitorily increased the activity of GSK-3 (about 1 h) and the level of tau hyperphosphorylation at Ser^396/Ser^404 and Ser^199/Ser^202 sites (no longer than 3 h); however, a prolonged and intense activation of GSK-3 (over 12 h) and enhanced tau hyperphosphorylation (about 24 h) were observed when these two selective kinase inhibitors were applied together. We conclude that the simultaneous inhibition of PI3K and PKC can induce GSK-3 overactivation, and further strengthen and prolong the Alzheimerlike tau hyperphosphorylation in N2a cells, suggesting the establishment of a cell model with early pathological events of Alzheimer‘s disease.     

1型糖尿病葡萄糖代谢与胰岛素信号传导途径异常导致大鼠海马Alzheimer样tau蛋白过度磷酸化修饰

Tau蛋白过度磷酸化是Alzheimer病(Alzheimer disease, AD)的一个重要病理特征.采用 I 型糖尿病大鼠模型,研究胰岛素信号传导途径及葡萄糖代谢失调对tau蛋白过度磷酸化的形成机制进行探讨.以同龄Wistar大鼠做对照（CTL）,胰腺大部分切除造低胰岛素组（PX）,STZ较大剂量一次性注射造1型糖尿病模型即低胰岛素高血糖组（T1DM）.葡萄糖氧化酶法检测血浆血糖,放免法检测血浆胰岛素,蛋白质印迹分析海马内总tau蛋白及tau蛋白上部分位点（Ser199、Thr212、Ser214、Ser396及Ser422）的磷酸化及神经细胞膜上葡萄糖转运子3（Glucose transport 3,GLUT3）水平.γ-32P-ATP和特异性底物肽检测海马内胰岛素信号传导系统中的关键酶糖原合成酶激酶-3β（Glycogen synthase kinase-3β, GSK-3β）活性.发现3组大鼠海马回总tau蛋白水平无显著差异,但以高血糖、低胰岛素血症为特征的T1DM组在tau蛋白Ser199、Thr212、Ser214、Ser396及Ser422位点上,呈现过度磷酸化状态,以低胰岛素血症为特征而血糖正常的PX组在位点Ser199、Thr212及Ser396上磷酸化程度比CTL组显著上升, 在位点Ser214及 Ser422上的磷酸化程度的改变不显著;T1DM及PX组大鼠海马 GSK-3β活性显著高于CTL组, 而GLUT3水平在T1DM和PX组均降低, 尤以T1DM组降低更显著.研究结果显示,胰岛素水平低下可能通过激活GSK-3β和下调细胞内葡萄糖代谢的双重作用引起脑内tau蛋白过度磷酸化.     

血小板反应素1在STZ诱导大鼠糖尿病性视网膜病变的表达研究

探讨TSP1表达在糖尿病视网膜病变中的作用和机制,为治疗和预防糖尿病视网膜病变提供新的实验和理论依据。用链脲佐菌素(STZ)腹腔注射建立糖尿病模型8周后,采用免疫组织化学、RT-PCR及实时荧光定量PCR法,分析TSP1在早期链尿佐菌素诱导的糖尿病SD大鼠视网膜中的表达。结果显示在早期糖尿病大鼠的视网膜表面血管、神经节细胞层、内外核层中均有明显的TSP1表达,糖尿病视网膜组TSP1 mRNA表达要高于对照组,其中实时荧光定量PCR CT值的结果显示糖尿病组TSP1 mRNA表达量较对照组要高约3．48倍,二组间差别有显著性意义(P<0．01),提示TSP1在视网膜组织中的表达与糖尿病视网膜病变的发生密不可分,TSP1表达的增加可能在糖尿病视网膜病变的发生和发展中起重要作用。     

PKB/ Akt 在高脂诱导鼠肾脏损害中的作用

目的:通过建立高脂血症大鼠模型,探讨单纯高脂对肾脏的损伤机制以及胰岛素传导通路中的关键酶PKB/Akt(丝氨酸/苏氨酸激酶)在高脂所致肾脏损害中的变化和意义。方法:高脂高胆固醇喂养Wistar雄性大鼠,建立胰岛素抵抗模型。分别在4周、8周、12周测定大鼠的肾功,包括血尿素蛋(BUN),肌酐(CREA);16周时测定甘油三酯(TG),胆固醇(TC),以及血糖(FBS)和胰岛素(FINS)。8周时行胰岛素增敏剂文迪雅(3mg/kg)灌胃干预四周,并行肾脏病理检查,应用免疫组化法监测PKB/Akt在肾脏的表达。结果:高脂喂饲大鼠4周后,进食量开始减少,体重增加减慢;血BUN、血CREA在4周时已升高,至8周时增加更明显(p<0.001)。文迪雅灌胃四周后肾功改善,但仍高于正常组(p<0.05)。血TG和血TC较正常组升高显著,统计学差异显著(p<0.05)。血胰岛素升高,但胰岛素敏感性降低,胰岛素抵抗指数增加显著,提示胰岛素抵抗形成。肾脏免疫组化PKB/Akt的表达呈现为在肾小球和肾小管分布不均,出现PKB/Akt在损伤较重的肾小球不表达,而在损伤较轻的肾小管表达减弱的现象。结论:饮食诱导的高脂血症可导致健康大鼠产生脂质肾毒性损害以及肾功的降低,并可产生胰岛素抵抗。胰岛素传导通路的损害在肾小球和肾小管表达不同,说明其可能是产生肾脏损伤及胰岛素抵抗的又一原因。胰岛素增敏剂可改善胰岛素抵抗及肾功。
