酸敏感离子通道与脑梗死

急性脑梗死约占全部脑卒中的70%,病死率和致残率高,且极易复发。但目前针对急性脑梗死在时间窗内溶栓、抗凝等治疗手段不能从根本上切实有效地修复受损脑组织,且伴有出血等风险。寻找脑梗死形成发展的原因并予以治疗迫在眉睫。酸中毒是引起缺血性脑损伤的重要机制。大量实验研究表明,酸中毒能加重神经元的缺血性损伤,且其梗死面积与酸中毒的程度直接相关。但缺血产生的酸中毒如何引起神经元损伤的确切机制尚不明确。最近研究发现酸中毒能激活一种在中枢及周围神经中广泛存在的膜通道,即酸敏感离子通道,它对Ca2+通透,能引起细胞内Ca2+超载,同时能激活胞内酶引起细胞内蛋白质、脂类及核酸的降解,加重缺血后脑损伤。本文就酸敏感离子通道1a与脑梗死做一综述。     

The nature of the neutral Na+−Cl−-coupled entry at the apical membrane of rabbit gallbladder epithelium: II. Na+−Cl− symport is independent of K+

Summary In the epithelium of rabbit gallbladder, in the nominal absence of bicarbonate, intracellular Cl^– activity is about 25mm, about 4 times higher than intracellular Cl^– activity at the electrochemical equilibrium. It is essentially not affected by 10^–4 m acetazolamide and 10^–4 m 4-acetamido-4-isothiocyanostilbene-2,2-disulfonate (SITS) even during prolonged exposures; it falls to the equilibrium value by removal of Na⁺ from the lumen without significant changes of the apical membrane potential difference. Both intracellular Cl^– and Na⁺ activities are decreased by luminal treatment with 25mm SCN^–; the initial rates of change are not significantly different. In addition, the initial rates of change of intracellular Cl^– activity are not significantly different upon Na⁺ or Cl^– entry block by the appropriate reduction of the concentration of either ion in the luminal solution. Luminal K⁺ removal or 10^–5 m bumetanide do not affect intracellular Cl^– and Na⁺ activities or Cl^– influx through the apical membrane. It is concluded that in the absence of bicarbonate NaCl entry is entirely due to a Na⁺–Cl^– symport on a single carrier which, at least under the conditions tested, does not cotransport K⁺.     

The nature of the neutral Na+−Cl−-coupled entry at the apical membrane of rabbit gallbladder epithelium: I. Na+/H+, Cl−/HCO 3 − double exchange and Na+−Cl− symport

Summary Cl^– influx at the luminal border of the epithelium of rabbit gallbladder was measured by 45-sec exposures to³⁶Cl^– and³H-sucrose (as extracellular marker). Its paracellular component was evaluated by the use of 25mm SCN^– which immediately and completely inhibits Cl^– entry into the cell. Cellular influx was equal to 16.7eq cm^–2 hr^–1 and decreased to 8.5eq cm^–2 hr^–1 upon removal of HCO ₃ ^– from the bathing media and by bubbling 100% O₂ for 45 min. When HCO ₃ ^– was present, cellular influx was again about halved by the action of 10^–4 m acetazolamide, 10^–5 to 10^–4 m furosemide, 10^–5 to 10^–4 m 4-acetamido-4-isothiocyanostilbene-2,2-disulfonate (SITS), 10^–3 m amiloride. The effects of furosemide and SITS were tested at different concentrations of the inhibitor and with different exposure times: they were maximal at the concentrations reported above and nonadditive. In turn, the effects of amiloride and SITS were not additive. Acetazolamide reached its maximal action after an exposure of about 2 min. When exogenous HCO ₃ ^– was absent, the residual cellular influx was insensitive to acetazolamide, furosemide and SITS. When exogenous HCO ₃ ^– was present in the salines, Na⁺ removal from the mucosal side caused a slow decline of cellular Cl^– influx; conversely, it immediately abolished cellular Cl^– influx in the absence of HCO ₃ ^– . In conclusion, about 50% of cellular influx is sensitive to HCO ₃ ^– , inhibitable by SCN^–, acetazolamide, furosemide, SITS and amiloride and furthermore slowly dependent on Na⁺. The residual cellular influx is insensitive to bicarbonate, inhibitable by SCN^–, resistant to acetazolamide, furosemide, SITS and amiloride, and immediately dependent on Na⁺. Thus, about 50% of apical membrane NaCl influx appears to result from a Na⁺/H⁺ and Cl^–/HCO ₃ ^– exchange, whereas the residual influx seems to be due to Na⁺–Cl^– contranport on a single carrier. Whether both components are simultaneously present or the latter represents a cellular homeostatic counterreaction to the inhibition of the former is not clear.

Structural relatedness of lysis proteins from colicinogenic plasmids and icosahedral coliphages

The host-lysis-inducing functions of phi X174 protein E and MS2 protein L were recently shown to reside on the N-terminal and C-terminal halves of the two respective lysis proteins. In the present study it is shown that the small lysis proteins encoded in various colicinogenic plasmids share local sequence similarities and certain structural characteristics with the essential peptides of their coliphage-coded counterparts. Despite their dissimilar sizes and origins, it is suggested that the colicinogenic lysis proteins are functionally analogous and evolutionarily related to those of icosahedral single- stranded DNA and RNA phages.      

Isolation of apical plasma membrane in rabbit gallbladder epithelium by Percoll density gradient centrifugation

The apical membranes of rabbit gallbladder epithelial cells were isolated by treating the homogenate with Ca2+ or Mg2+ and centrifuging the suspension in Percoll gradient. In this way brush-border membranes were obtained with enrichment factors ranging between 10 and 20 and yields of 15-30%. A second method is described with which membranes were isolated, without any preliminary treatment, first by differential centrifugation, then with Percoll gradient; the final membrane enrichment was over 15, however the yield was very low (3%). Many possible enzymatic markers of the apical plasma membrane were investigated: L-gamma-glutamyltransferase, alkaline phosphatase, leucine aminopeptidase, sucrase. The first appears to be that of choice. Apical membrane fraction could be also evidenced by autofluorescence or by labeling with Lotus tetragonolobus lectin. Preliminary experiments showed that apical plasma membranes isolated in this way form vesicles.     

氟碳乳剂与右旋糖酐对犬缺血心肌侧支循环供氧的影响

本实验在14只麻醉开胸狗心脏上观察了氟碳乳剂与右旋糖酐稀释血液对心肌耗氧量与供应缺血心肌氧量关系的影响。以左室压力-时间指数(SPTI)作为心肌耗氧量的指标,根据冠脉有效侧支血流量(ECF)、PaO_2和 Hb 浓度计算供应缺血心肌的氧量。实验结果表明,低分子右旋糖酐稀释血液后,SPTI 暂时性轻度增加(稀释后30min 时较对照增加7.1±2.7%,P<0.05,稀释后60min 时增加2.8±1.2%,P>0.05),ECF 明显增多(稀释后30min 时较对照增加58.5±6.1%,P<0.01),缺血区边缘心肌氧供需关系未发生明显变化。氟碳乳剂稀释血液后,SPTI 的变化规律与右旋糖酐稀释后相同(稀释后30min 和60min 时分别较对照增加2.5±0.7%和1.9±0.8%)ECF 和 PaO_2升高(稀释后30min 时分别较对照增加53.9±6.7%和93±8.9%),供应缺血心肌的氧量显著增加,缺血区边缘心肌氧供需矛盾明显改善。     

Carbonic anhydrase activity in acetate grown Methanosarcina barkeri

Cell extracts (27000xg supernatant) of acetate grown Methanosarcina barkeri were found to have carbonic anhydrase activity (0.41 U/mg protein), which was lost upon heating or incubation with proteinase K. The activity was inhibited by Diamox (apparent K _i=0.5 mM), by azide (apparent K _i=1 mM), and by cyanide (apparent K _i=0.02 mM). These and other properties indicate that the archaebacterium contains the enzyme carbonic anhydrase (EC 4.2.1.1). Evidence is presented that the protein is probably located in the cytoplasm. Methanol or H₂/CO₂ grown cells of M. barkeri showed no or only very little carbonic anhydrase activity. After transfer of these cells to acetate medium the activity was induced suggesting a function of this enzyme in acetate fermentation to CO₂ and CH₄. Interestingly, Desulfobacter postgatei and Desulfotomaculum acetoxidans, which oxidize acetate to 2 CO₂ with sulfate as electron acceptor, were also found to exhibit carbonic anhydrase activity (0.2 U/mg protein).
