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。

Temporal events of gypsy moth vitellogenesis and ovarian development

Abstract The vitellogenic period of gypsy moth ovarian development starts on day 3 of the pupal stage and continues through adulthood. During this period, rapid increases occur in follicle size, protein content, and wet weight of the ovary. Patency is observed on day 3 of the pupal stage.
Pre-vitellogenic follicles are formed in the last larval stadium. Newly formed follicles detach from the germarium on day 4, and increase rapidly to 140 per ovariole at the end of the last larval stadium. The pre-vitellogenic follicles are uniformly around 50 um in diameter. No vitellogenin is incorporated into the oocytes until the pupal stage.
Polyacrylamide gel electrophosesis (PAGE) in the presence of sodium dodecylsulphate (SDS) analysis of male and female haemolymph samples and vitellogenic ovaries demonstrates the presence of two female-specific subunits of vitellogenin of 180 kD and 160 kD. These proteins are detected only in haemolymph and ovarian extracts of vitellogenic females. The molecular weight of the native protein determined by size exclusion chromatography is approximately 400–420 kD.
A highly sensitive double antibody sandwich enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) was developed to monitor the temporal changes in vitellogenin titre in haemolymph. Vitellogenin production starts on day 2 of the last larval stadium, reaching a maximum level by day 6 of the last larval stadium, and decreasing in the late pupal stage as vitellogenin was internalized into the oocytes. This is the first report of vitellogenin production occurring in the larval stage of a holometabolous insect. The fact that vitellogenin production and uptake occur during different stages of development in the gypsy moth, opens up some interesting questions concerning the underlying regulatory mechanisms controlling each process.     

Analysis of mobilization elements in plasmids from Shigella flexneri.

The mobilization properties of three plasmids were examined after cotransfer from Shigella flexneri to Escherichia coli. The largest plasmid, pCN1, was shown to be a conjugative R factor that could promote its own transfer and allow cotransfer of a 4.1-kilobase plasmid, pCN3; mobilization of the third plasmid, pCN2 (6.3 kilobases), required the presence of both pCN1 and pCN3. Sequences from pCN2 and pCN3 homologous to the bom (basis of mobilization) sites of ColE1 and pBR322 were localized by analysis of site-specific deletion derivatives generated in vivo during the transfer of composite plasmids and were characterized by DNA sequencing.

Deletion and amplification of the HGPRT locus in Chinese hamster cells.

Somatic cell selective techniques and hybridization analyses with a cloned cDNA probe were used to isolate and identify Chinese hamster cell lines in which the X-linked gene for hypoxanthine-guanine phosphoribosyltransferase (HGPRT) has been altered. Two of 19 HGPRT-deficient mutants selected were found to have major DNA deletions affecting the HGPRT locus. Cytogenetic studies revealed that the X chromosome of each deletion mutant had undergone a translocation event, whereas those from the remaining 17 mutants were normal. Phenotypic revertants of the thermosensitive HGPRT mutant RJK526 were isolated, and amplification of the mutant allele was shown to be the predominant mechanism of reversion. Comparisons of restriction enzyme fragments of DNA from deletion versus amplification strains identified two regions of the Chinese hamster genome that contained homology to the cDNA probe. One was shown to be much larger than the 1,600-nucleotide mRNA for HGPRT and to be comprised of linked fragments that contained the functional HGPRT gene. The second was neither transcribed nor tightly linked to the functional gene. These initial studies of HGPRT alterations at the level of DNA thus identified molecular mechanisms of phenotypic variation.
