Src激酶抑制剂FB2抗前列腺癌作用研究

探讨Src激酶抑制剂FB2抗前列腺癌的作用及机制.整体动物实验观察FB2对人前列腺癌PC-3细胞在裸鼠异体中生长的影响;MMT、克隆原形成、细胞黏附试验观察FB2对肿瘤细胞增殖、黏附的影响;流式细胞术分析FB2对细胞周期的影响;Western blot观察细胞及组织内Src及p-Src表达.实验结果表明FB2抑制PC-3细胞裸鼠移植瘤的生长;FB2抑制PC-3细胞增殖及对基底膜成分的黏附,并将细胞周期阻滞于G1期;机制研究表明,FB2抑制PC-3细胞及瘤组织中Src激酶Tyr416磷酸化.因此Src激酶抑制剂FB2在体内外均有较强的抗前列腺癌作用,其机制可能与抑制Src激酶Tyr416磷酸化有关.     

葡萄糖酸钙对肌苷发酵的影响

在肌苷的摇瓶发酵过程中,10g／L的葡萄糖酸钙适于肌苷的合成和菌体生长。初始培养基中加入10g／L的葡萄糖酸钙,能够诱导葡萄糖酸激酶的生成,大幅提高其比活,增大磷酸戊糖（HMP）途径的通量。肌苷的产率由10.76g／L提高到18.36g／L。     

Localization of brain type creatine kinase in kidney epithelial cell subpopulations in rat

Summary Immunoperoxidase studies of rat kidney using antibody to brain type isoenzyme of creatine kinase (BB) revealed a specific staining in the epithelial cells of the thick ascending limb of the Henle's loop and collecting tubule. Occasional epithelial cells in cortical tubules that lack brush border were also positive for BB. Renal glomeruli and proximal tubules showed no immunoreactivity to this enzyme.     

Induction of the synthesis of thymidine kinase by aldosterone in the kidney of the immature male rat

Summary Thymidine kinase activity was studied in kidneys from immature male rats after administration of aldosterone. Kinetic studies showed that the enzyme activity reached its maximum level 24 h after aldosterone injection. That increase was specific for aldosterone and could be related to the synthesis of new molecules of enzyme.     

Subtypes of protein kinase C in rat cerebral microvessels

Summary Protein kinase C in rat cerebral microvessels was characterized. By hydroxyapatite column chromatography, protein kinase C in the soluble fraction was resolved into two major peaks corresponding to type II and III enzymes, in the proportions of 57% and 38%, respectively. Since each subtype is considered to have a distinct role, the high proportion of type II enzyme found in this study suggests that this type may be involved in specific functions of the cerebral microvessels.     

Possible involvement of protein kinase C in the stimulation of amino acid transport by phorbol ester,platelet-derived growth factor and A23187 in Swiss 3T3 cells

Summary Stimulation of amino acid transport induced by phorbol-12, 13-dibutyrate, platelet-derived growth factor or A23187 was not observed in cells lacking protein kinase C. On the other hand, stimulation of transport by epidermal growth factor or insulin was not affected. These results suggested that the stimulation of amino acid transport is mediated by at least two separate pathways.This work was supported in part by Grants-in-Aid for Scientific Research from the Ministry of Education, Science and Culture, and the Ministry of Health and Welfare of Japan.     

Modulation of protein kinases and phosphoprotein phosphatases by a small acidic protein from bovine brains

Summary A small, acidic and heat-stable protein was purified from bovine brains by column chromatography on DEAE-cellulose, Bio-Gel HTP, Affi-Gel phenothiazine and Sephadex G-75. This protein stimulates megamodulin-dependent protein kinase I from brains and phosphoprotein phosphatases from either brain or yeast. However, it inhibits cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinases from skeletal muscle.Acknowledgments. This work was supported by a grant (RR-08229) from the National Institutes of Health, USA. W.N.

Interaction of mitochondrial porin with cytosolic proteins

Summary Intracellular phosphorylation is an important step in active uptake and utilization of carbohydrates. For example glucose and glycerol enter the liver, cell along the extra intracellular gradient by facilitated diffusion through specific carriers and are concentrated inside the cell by phosphorylation via hexokinase or glycerol kinase. Depending on the function of the respective tissue the uptake of carbohydrates serves different metabolic purposes. In brain and kidney medulla cells which depend on carbohydrates, glucose and glycerol are taken up according to the energy demand. However, in tissues such as muscle which synthesize glycogen or like liver which additionally produce fat from glucose, the uptake of carbohydrates has to be regulated according to the availability of glucose and glycerol. How the reversible coupling of the kinases to the outer membrane pore and the mitochondrial ATP serves to fulfil these specific requirements will be explained as well as how this regulates the carbohydrate uptake in brain according to the activity of the oxidative phosphorylation and how this allows glucose uptake in liver, and muscle to persist in the presence of high glucose 6-phosphate without activating the rate of glycolysis.
