具核梭杆菌的研究进展

具核梭杆菌是一种G^-专性无芽胞厌氧杆菌，在口腔乃至全身感染性疾病中检出率极高，与临床厌氧菌感染的关系十分密切，具核梭杆菌的致病性与它的黏附特性、代谢产物丁酸及宿主细胞因子水平有关．最近又有研究报道，该菌能够诱导外周血单个核细胞和多形核细胞的凋亡，从而逃避免疫细胞的杀伤作用，引起机体的感染性疾病．     

EC109细胞株细胞周期DNA代谢和形态改变的研究

人食管癌细胞株 EC109以显微分光光度计测定癌细胞核 DNA 含量,以放射自显影测定细胞核摄取~3H-TdR 和扫描电镜检查细胞表面的超微结构.大多数 EC109瘤细胞间期细胞核的 DNA 含量增加,主要干系细胞 DNA 含量为2 C,属 G_1期,也可见低于四倍体(3 C),高于四倍体(>4 C).甚至多倍体(>8 C)的瘤细胞.~3H-TdR 加入培养基10分钟后,许多瘤细胞核有银粒出现(S 期细胞).大量细胞进入细胞周期反映其恶性程度高.扫描电镜可见 EC109在细胞周期不同阶段其细胞大小形状和微绒毛也不同.本文结果说明用细胞核 DAN 含量测定,~3H-TdR 掺入和细胞表面超微结构可测定肿瘤周期.也可用这些方法判定瘤细胞的恶性程度.     

The regulation of embryonic patterning and DNA replication by geminin

Geminin is a multifunctional protein. After DNA replication is initiated during a cell cycle, geminin binds to Cdt1, one of the key DNA replication licensing factors. This highly regulated interaction sequestrates Cdt1, thus preventing DNA rereplication in the same cell cycle. In addition, geminin directly interacts with Six3 and Hox homeodomain proteins during embryogenesis and inhibits their functions. The regulation of Hox function by geminin also involves a transient association with the Hox repressive Polycomb complex. The functions of geminin to obstruct key molecules of both cell proliferation and embryonic development suggest a competitive coordination of these two processes.Received 10 December 2004; received after revision 27 January 2005; accepted March 2005     

Divergent effects of the major mast cell products histamine, tryptase and TNF-alpha on human fibroblast behaviour

Fibroblast proliferation is a key process in tissue remodeling and mast cells (MCs) are thought to play a crucial role. Having established that the three major MC products, tryptase, histamine and TNF-alpha (TNF) are normally present in human skin MCs, which are in close proximity to dermal fibroblasts, we studied their individual effects on cell cycle-controlled human dermal fibroblasts (HFFF2). These cells express receptors (H1, PAR2, TNFR1/2) for the major MC mediators, but only tryptase or a PAR2 agonist peptide stimulated proliferation and gene expression. TNF was antimitotic, and histamine, while elevating intracellular Ca²⁺ levels at high concentrations, did not affect proliferation. We conclude that MC products but also composition and numbers of respective receptors on fibroblasts are crucially responsible for fibroproliferative events.

Calcium carbonate nanoparticles promote osteogenesis compared to adipogenesis in human bone-marrow mesenchymal stem cells

Rhombohedron-like and fusiform calcium carbonate nanoparticles were fabricated using a new method. Their geometry was controlled by varying the mixing speed and ratio of ethanol versus water in reaction system. The calcium carbonate nanoparticles(CCNPs) have slight effect on viability of human bone-marrow mesenchymal stem cells(hBMSCs) with dose-dependent and shape-dependent, but they can significantly promote osteogenic differentiation of hBMSCs in vitro by 10–37% increase of alkaline phosphatase(ALP) activity, 9–36% growth of collagen secretion and 1.13–1.83 folds upregulation of osteogenesis-related genes, even at lower dose ranges(5–20 μg/ml). The efficacity of promoting osteogenesis depends on the shape and dose of CCNPs. Furthermore,adipogenesis was inhibited by less accumulation of lipid droplets, lower triglyceride(TG) secretion and downregulation of adipogenesis-related genes. These findings improve the understanding of effects CCNPs on hBMSCs fate towards osteoblasts or adipocytes and have meaningful impact for combining use of CCNPs and hBMSCs in tissue engineering and regenerative medicine fields.     

纳米银与富里酸对AL细胞增殖及产生RNS/ROS的影响

利用ALamar Blue法和RNS/ROS荧光特异性探针,探讨不同浓度纳米银(nAg,0.1~5μg·mL~(-1))、银离子(Ag+,0.01~0.5μg·mL~(-1))及纳米银与富里酸(FA,10μg·mL~(-1))协同作用对人鼠杂交瘤(AL)细胞增殖及活性氮/活性氧自由基产生的影响及在这一过程中的作用.结果显示:在低浓度(小于等于1μg·mL~(-1))情况下,nAg对AL细胞的毒性作用主要来自于nAg释放的银离子(Ag~+),Ag~+通过诱导胞内RNS的产生,进而产生增殖抑制作用;在高浓度(5μg·mL~(-1))情况下,nAg对AL细胞的毒性主要来自于Ag~+诱导的RNS和nAg本身诱导的ROS二者共同的作用.模拟水环境中存在的FA(10μg·mL~(-1))能够显著降低nAg和Ag~+对AL细胞增殖的抑制作用,并且能显著降低nAg和Ag~+引起的A_L细胞内RNS和ROS的升高作用.
