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。     

Measurement of Acetylcholine Release in Freely Moving Rats by Means of Automated Intracerebral Dialysis

The present study demonstrates the feasibility of measuring acetylcholine in perfusion samples collected by means of in vivo brain dialysis in the striata of freely moving rats. The output of the dialysis device was directly connected to an automated sample valve of a HPLC-assay system that comprises a cation exchanger, a post-column enzyme reactor, and an electrochemical detector. The presence of an acetylcholinesterase inhibitor (neostigmine) in the perfusion fluid was required for the detection of acetylcholine in the perfusate. Increasing concentrations of neostigmine induced increasing amounts of acetylcholine. Continuous perfusion with a fixed concentration (2 microM) of neostigmine resulted in gradually increasing amounts of collected acetylcholine over time although a considerable variation between successive samples exists. The brain dialysis technique was further validated by studying the effect of various drugs. Systemically administered atropine increased the output of acetylcholine, whereas the addition of tetrodotoxin to the perfusion fluid resulted in a complete disappearance of the neurotransmitter.

On the Significance of Tyrosine for the Synthesis and Catabolism of Dopamine in Rat Brain: Evaluation by HPLC with Electrochemical Detection

Abstract: A chemical assay of tyrosine (Tyr) in nervous tissue is described. The method is based on a rapidly performed isolation of Tyr on small Sephadex G 10 columns, followed by reverse-phase HPLC in conjunction with amperometric detection. The method permitted the additional quantification of 3,4-dihydroxyphenylalanine, dopamine (DA), and its acidic metabolites. The method was applied to a study of the effects of γ-butyrolactone, haloperidol, haloperidol in combination with amfonelic acid, morphine, NSD 1015, and tyrosine methylester on the concentration of Tyr in the striatum, frontal cortex, hypothalamus, and cerebellum of rat brain. The effect of tyrosine methylester on DA and its acidic metabolites was investigated in the striatum and frontal cortex. Morphine and NSD 1015 were found to increase Tyr levels. γ-Butyrolactone, haloperidol, and haloperidol combined with amfonelic acid decreased the Tyr content in a manner related to their stimulatory effect on DA biosynthesis. These effects were restricted to DA-rich brain areas. It was concluded that during conditions of increased DA biosynthesis, the Tyr pool still possesses a considerable reserve capacity. The results bring into question the concept that brain Tyr is an important additional factor controlling catechol synthesis during increased tyrosine hydroxylase activity.     

In vivo dopamine receptor binding studies with a non-radioactively labeled agonist,dipropyl-5, 6-ADTN

Evidence is presented that a low dose of peripherally administered N, N-dipropylamino-5, 6-dihydroxytetralin (DiPr-5, 6-ADTN) specifically labels dopamine (DA) receptors in rat brain.Concentrations of this potent DA receptor agonist were determined by a highly selective method using reversed phase liquid chromatography and amperometric detection. The binding characteristics satisfy all criteria regarding saturability, stereospecificity, regional distribution and relation with pharmacological effects that are associated with DA receptor interactions. A rough estimation of the density of binding sites in the striatum resulted in values of 60–70 pmol/g. Lesioning the nigrostriatal pathway does not significantly alter the amount of ligand bound, nor do pretreatments with serotonergic, α-adrenergic or β-adrenergic antagonists. DiPr-5, 6-ADTN has thus been shown to be a useful ligand for labeling central DA receptors and a powerful tool in the study of DA-ergic mechanisms.
