Growth hormone signal transduction

Growth hormone (GH) promotes animal growth by stimulating bone and cartilage cell proliferation, and influences carbohydrate and lipid metabolism. Some of these effects are brought about indirectly via somatomedin induction in hepatocytes, others by acting directly on the target cells. In either case, GH first binds to specific receptors on cells to trigger a sequence of biochemical events culminating in a biological response. Recently much has been learnt about the molecular structure of GH receptor, its binding to ligand, and the ensuing signal transduction events.

INO1基因在粟酒裂殖酵母中的表达及对蔗糖酶分泌和磷脂合成的影响

分别用含有INO1基因的两个质粒pADH-INO和pSPIN-22对天然肌醇营养缺陷型的粟酒裂殖酵母（Schizosaccharomyces pombe）进行转化，得到的转化子分别命名为Sch.P944和Sch.P1025.通过对Sch.P944和Sch.P1025的研究，发现两个质粒均能在粟酒裂殖酵母中自主复制并使其变成肌醇原养型，但肌醇分泌的速度和数量Sch.P944均高于Sch.P1025。用该两菌株研究肌醇合成与细胞生长及可分泌蔗糖酶比活的关系，结果显示：细胞的生长与肌醇的合成紧密相关；而蔗糖酶的比活，当葡萄糖含量小于1％时，菌株Sch.P944的蔗糖酶分泌是解葡萄糖阻遏的，而Sch.P1025在实验范围内，蔗糖酶的比活都受到葡萄糖的阻遏作用。对Sch.P944和Sch.P1025膜磷脂的组成进行分析比较发现，膜磷脂中磷脂酰肌醇（PI）的含量Sch.P944比Sch.P1025高，而磷脂酰丝氨酸（PS）的含量Sch.P944比Sch.P1025低。这意味着肌醇通过磷脂酰肌醇参与了蔗糖酶分泌的解阻遏作用。

Serotonin-stimulated protein phosphorylation in aortic smooth muscle cells

Summary The effects of serotonin on the formation of inositol phosphates and protein phosphorylation were examined in cultured smooth muscle cells. Serotonin stimulated the formation of [³H]inositol monophosphate, [³H]inositol bisphosphate and [³H]inositol trisphosphate. This effect was prevented by 5-HT₂ specific antagonist, 6-methyl-1-(1-methylethyl)ergoline-8-carboxylic acid, 2-hydroxy-1-methylpropyl ester [Z]-2-butenedioate (LY53857). Serotonin stimulated the phosphorylation of many polypeptides, among which a 20 kDa polypeptide was the most prominent. The phosphorylation was also inhibited by LY53857. LY53857 alone produced no effects on protein phosphorylation. The 20 kDa polypeptides were also phosphorylated by the addition of 12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol-13-acetate. These results suggest that serotonin stimulates protein phosphorylation through 5-HT₂ receptors and possibly activates protein kinase C in intact vascular smooth muscle cells.Part of the data contained in this paper was presented at the 74th local meeting of the Japanese Society of Pharmacology at Kanagawa.     

酶法常压水解辅助离子交换技术从脱脂米糠中提取肌醇

肌醇具有良好的生理与保健作用,近年来需求量不断增加,出口市场供不应求。从肌醇的生产技术看来,我国肌醇生产企业一直沿用传统的生产工艺,生产效率徘徊不前。为了改善肌醇传统生产工艺生产周期长、收率低的问题,在传统工艺基础上开展了微波辅助浸提提取菲汀,离子交换树脂吸附植酸,弱碱液洗脱成植酸盐,植酸盐酶法常压水解,水解液过滤后离子交换树脂除杂与脱色,再行浓缩、结晶与精制的实验研究。通过实验获得的产品与传统工艺对比,产品各项质量指标均达标,收率由原来的不足10%提高到13%以上。液相色谱图也和标样具有很好的相关性。说明改进后的生产工艺提升了肌醇的质量和收率,具有较好的应用价值。
