激光佐治慢性皮肤溃疡疗效观察及诱导HSP70表达研究

目的:探讨激光治疗慢性皮肤溃疡的疗效及诱导创面组织热休克蛋白70(heat shock prote in 70,HSP70)表达情况。方法:将64例84处慢性皮肤溃疡创面随机分为传统治疗组和激光治疗组,激光治疗组在传统治疗基础上加用激光治疗,所有创面在治疗三周进行疗效判定;同期随机切取5例创面组织,并设正常皮肤为对照,行组织切片HSP70免疫组化染色,计数HSP70阳性细胞数并检测阳性细胞灰度值进行统计学分析;设计引物行RT-PCR检测HSP70mRNA表达情况。结果:两组慢性皮肤溃疡患者经相应治疗均较治疗前明显改善,但激光治疗组创面的治愈率和总有效率明显高于传统治疗组(P<0.05或P<0.01);免疫组化染色显示,正常皮肤和慢性溃疡组织中未见明显HSP70阳性表达细胞,激光治疗后三周后可见较多量的HSP70表达阳性细胞,其阳性细胞计数明显高于其它两组(P<0.01),细胞信号灰度表达明显低于其它两组(P<0.05),而传统治疗组与正常对照组无显著差异;RT-PCR结果发现激光治疗组组织中扩增到一条特异性泳带,大小约268 bp,正常皮肤和传统治疗组组织中未扩增到明显HSP70mRNA基因片段。结论:激光佐治慢性皮肤溃疡具有良好临床疗效,可能与激活创面细胞的热休克内源性保护机制而发挥抗感染和促进愈合作用有关。

Proteome analysis of rat liver mitochondria reveals a possible compensatory response to endotoxic shock

Organ failure induced by endotoxic shock has recently been associated with affected mitochondrial function. In this study, effects of in vivo lipopolysaccharide-challenge on protein patterns of rat liver mitochondria in treated animals versus controls were studied by two-dimensional electrophoresis (differential image gel electrophoresis). Significant upregulation was found for ATP-synthase alpha chain and superoxide dismutase [Mn]. Our data suggest that endotoxic shock mediated changes in the mitochondrial proteome contribute to a compensatory reaction (adaptation to endotoxic shock) rather than to a mechanism of cell damage.     

Regulation of apoptotic signal transduction pathways by the heat shock proteins

The study about apoptotic signal transductions has become a project to reveal the molecular mechanisms of apoptosis. Heat shock proteins (hsps), which play an important role in cell growth and apoptosis, have attracted great attentions. A lot of researches have showed there is a hsps superfamily including hsp90, hsp70, hsp60 and hsp27, etc., which regulates the biological behaviors of cells, particularly apoptotic signal transduction in Fas pathway, JNK/SAPK pathway and caspases pathway at different levels, partly by the function of molecular chaperone.     

Osmotic shock: a mechanosensitive channel blocker can prevent release of cytoplasmic but not periplasmic proteins

When over-expressed in the cytoplasm of Escherichia coli, carboxylesterase Est55 of Geobacillus stearothermophilus was found to be released from cells upon osmotic shock. Comparing two osmotic shock protocols showed that release of Est55 was abolished in the absence of mechanosensitive channel MscL by one method but not the other. The discrepancy extended to several previously reported cytoplasmic proteins released by osmotic shock, including: EF-Tu, thioredoxin, and DnaK in E. coli. Stepwise analyses of parameters between these two protocols revealed that the use of mechanical pipetting instead of gentle dilution of cells prior to exposure to hypotonic solution abolished the effect of MscL. Furthermore, while this phenomenon of release of certain cytoplasmic proteins was sustained in all three wild type strains of E. coli, presence of gadolinium was able to serve as an MscL channel blocker and prevented release of Est55 and EF-Tu in the process. An optimized protocol of osmotic shock was developed from this study to provide a more reliable assessment of location of proteins in E. coli. This method allowed release of authentic periplasmic MalE and beta-lactamase proteins comparable to that by EDTA-lysozyme treatment.

Phylogenetic and Biochemical Studies Reveal a Potential Evolutionary Origin of Small Heat Shock Proteins of Animals from Bacterial Class A

Small heat shock proteins (sHSPs), as one subclass of molecular chaperones, are important for cells to protect proteins under stress conditions. Unlike the large HSPs (represented by Hsp60 and Hsp70), sHSPs are highly divergent in both primary sequences and oligomeric status, with their evolutionary relationships being unresolved. Here the phylogenetic analysis of a representative 51 sHSPs (covering the six subfamilies: bacterial class A, bacterial class B, archae, fungi, plant, and animal) reveals a close relationship between bacterial class A and animal sHSPs which form an outgroup. Accumulating data indicate that the oligomers from bacterial class A and animal sHSPs appear to exhibit polydispersity, while those from the rest exhibit monodispersity. Together, the close evolutionary relationship and the similarity in oligomeric polydispersity between bacterial class A and animal sHSPs not only suggest a potential evolutionary origin of the latter from the former, but also imply that their oligomeric polydispersity is somehow a property determined by their primary sequences.
