On the mechanism of inhibition of p27 degradation by 15-deoxy-Δ12,14-prostaglandin J 2 in lymphoblasts of Alzheimer’s disease patients

It has been proposed that neuroinflammation, among other factors, may trigger an aberrant neuronal cell cycle re-entry leading to neuronal death. Cell cycle disturbances are also detectable in peripheral cells from Alzheimer’s disease (AD) patients. We previously reported that the anti-inflammatory 15- deoxy-Δ^12,14-prostaglandin J ₂ (15d-PGJ ₂) increased the cellular content of the cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitor p27, in lymphoblasts from AD patients. This work aimed at elucidating the mechanisms of 15d-PGJ ₂-induced p27 accumulation. Phosphorylation, half-life, and the nucleo-cytoplasmic traffic of p27 protein were altered by 15d-PGJ2 by mechanisms dependent on PI3K/Akt activity. 15d-PGJ ₂ prevents the calmodulin-dependent Akt overactivation in AD lymphoblasts by blocking its binding to the 85-kDa regulatory subunit of PI3K. These effects of 15d-PGJ ₂ were not mimicked by 9,10-dihydro-15-deoxy-Δ^12,14- prostaglandin J ₂, suggesting that 15d-PGJ ₂ acts independently of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor γ activation and that the α,β-unsaturated carbonyl group in the cyclopentenone ring of 15d-PGJ ₂ is a requisite for the observed effects.

乳苣水提取物对人肺癌细胞SPCA-1生长的影响

为了探讨乳苣水提取物对体外培养的肺癌细胞SPCA-1的影响,分别用质量浓度为0.5、1、1.25和1.5 g/L(mg/m L)的乳苣水提取物处理SPCA-1细胞,24 h后通过CCK-8法检测发现,与对照组(未处理)相比,处理组细胞增殖活力均显著下降(P0.001).流式细胞仪检测(AnnexinⅤ-FITC/PI染色)发现随着处理浓度的增加,处理组细胞凋亡率都显著提高(P0.05),且呈剂量依赖关系.为了探索乳苣是否对体内肿瘤有抑制作用,构建了SPCA-1细胞的裸鼠皮下瘤模型,通过观察喂食乳苣水提取物后皮下瘤的生长情况发现,与未喂食乳苣水提取物的对照鼠相比,喂食5周后的实验组的瘤体得到明显的抑制.实验结果表明乳苣水提取物能够抑制体外和体内生长的SPCA-1细胞,可以作为一种潜在的预防和治疗肺癌的药物做进一步研究.

烟草叶肉原生质体再生壁形成的电镜研究

电镜观察表明,新分离的烟草叶肉原生质体表面光滑,在质膜外没有纤维状物质,内质网和高尔基体几乎没有发育:培养1天后,线粒体明显增加,粗面内质网和高尔基体沿质膜发育,质膜变得粗糙;2天后,质膜发生折皱,高尔基囊泡向质膜外分泌它的内含物;6天后,质膜表面出现明显松散分布的再生壁。在培养基中附加200 ppm香豆素处理,在培养1天后,质膜仍然光滑,未出现内质网和高尔基体;2天后,质膜开始变粗糙,内质网开始发育。试验表明,质膜、内质网、高尔基体在原生质体再生壁形成中起重要作用,并讨论了它们的可能作用。香豆素可能是在一定时同内,通过抑制质膜的活动和内质网、高尔基体的发育而抑制壁的再生。     

一种游仆虫无性生殖周期中大核及其DNA含量的变化

应用光学显微镜、显微光度计和定量细胞化学技术研究了一种游仆虫无性生殖周期中大核及其 DNA 含量的变化特征,获得如下结果:(1)游仆虫细胞周期分成 G_1期、S 期和 D 期,各个时期在整个细胞周期中所占的时间速率分别为36%、59%和5%。(2)游仆虫细胞周期中,G_1期大核迅速增大,但此时大核无 DNA 合成现象,DNA 分布密度随大核增大而降低;S 期大核前期增大,此后变小,大核 DNA 含量连续增加,大核 DNA 分布密度也随着增高。8期结束后,大核 DNA 含量相当于 G_1大核的两倍;D期大核又显著增大,DNA 分布密度稍高于 G_1期大核的水平。(3)由游仆虫孚尔根反应大核的形态,大核 DNA 三维吸收图像和显微光度术定量分析数据表明,游仆虫大核 DNA 含量的变化仅发生在 S 期,S 期大核中 DNA 合成与大核改组带相联系。     

The Ror receptor tyrosine kinase family

Receptor tyrosine kinases (RTKs) participate in numerous developmental decisions. Ror RTKs are a family of orphan receptors that are related to muscle specific kinase (MuSK) and Trk neurotrophin receptors. MuSK assembles acetylcholine receptors at the neuromuscular junction [1, 2], and Trk receptors function in the developing nervous system (reviewed in [3-5]). Rors have been identified in nematodes, insects and mammals. Recent studies have begun to shed light on Ror function during development. In most species, Rors are expressed in many tissue types during development. Analyses of mutants that are defective in the single nematode Ror demonstrate a role in cell migration and in orienting cell polarity. Mice lacking one of the two Ror gene products display defects in bone and heart formation. Similarly, two different human bone development disorders, dominant brachydactyly B and recessive Robinow syndrome, result from mutations in one of the human Ror genes.

Isolation and purification of BVⅠ-2H from bee venom and analysis of its biological action

The medical use of bee venom for rheumatoid arthritis (RA) has a very long tradition. In this study, isolation and purification of polypeptides from bee venom were carried out on sephadex chromatography, heparin sepharose CL-6B chromatography and HPLC. Several fractions were extracted, and their effects on activation of splenocyte and THP-1 cell were studied. The inhibitory fraction was selected for further studies. Finally, BVⅠ-2H that the HPLC elution profiles was a single peak was isolated by C8 column. ESI- MS detection results showed that BVⅠ-2H was a fraction of bee venom, and the molecular weight of the major component was 644.8. BVⅠ-2H could inhibit ConA-induced splenocyte proliferation, IL-1 production and interfere with splenocyte cycle in mice. Moreover, BVⅠ-2H could inhibit PMA-induced TNFa production in THP-1 cells, which was due to its inhibitory effects on TNFa mRNA expression and protein phosphorylation of IkBa. Our studies indicated that BVⅠ-2H was one of the anti-inflammatory components of bee venom.
