粪菌移植对肺炎克雷伯菌所致小鼠肝脓肿感染的抑制作用

探讨粪菌移植(FMT)对高致病性肺炎克雷伯菌(Klebsiella pneumoniae)所致小鼠肝脓肿(KLA)感染的抑制作用及相关机制.小鼠随机分为对照(Healthy)组、肺炎克雷伯菌(Kp)组和干预(FMT)组. Kp组小鼠经口灌胃10⁶ CFU K1血清型肺炎克雷伯菌;FMT组在给菌24 h后经口灌胃给予正常小鼠粪菌悬液(300 mg/mL,0.3 mL).结果表明,与Kp组相比,FMT处理明显降低了小鼠KLA感染率;16S rRNA高通量测序分析表明,FMT显著改变了小鼠肠道菌群组成,包括增加了Alloprevotella、norank＿f＿Muribaculaceae等益生菌的丰度;同时FMT处理明显降低了小鼠血清TNF-α和胃肠内防御素分子浓度,同时增加了肠黏蛋白2(MUC2)的表达.因此,肠道菌群和免疫防御因子可能一起参与了FMT对高致病性肺炎克雷伯菌所致小鼠KLA感染的抑制作用.     

气道高反应大鼠水通道蛋白与呼吸道粘液分泌的相关性研究

为观察气道高反应大鼠肺组织AQP4和AQP5的表达对呼吸道粘液分泌量和质的影响,取24只SPF级Wister大鼠随机分为3组:正常对照组；气道高反应组；气道高反应+糖皮质激素治疗组；每组8只.各组依次检测大鼠的气道粘液分泌总量、肺组织AQP4和AQP5的表达量、肺组织MUC5B的表达量,分析AQPs(AQP4、AQP5)的表达和粘液分泌量、MUC5B的表达之间的关系.结果显示,气道高反应组大鼠AQP4、AQP5的表达明显低于正常对照组,气道高反应组大鼠的气道粘液分泌总量和MUC5B的表达明显高于正常对照组,较气道高反应组经糖皮质激素治疗后肺组织AQP4、AQP5含量增多,MUC5B表达有下降,气道粘液分泌总量减少.以上结果提示,在气道高反应过程中,AQPs(AQP4、AQP5)的表达下调可增加粘蛋白MUC5B的表达和气道粘液分泌量.     

The trefoil protein TFF1 is bound to MUC5AC in humangastric mucosa

The trefoil protein TFF1 is expressed principally in the superficial cells of the gastric mucosa. It is a small protein and forms homo- and hetero-dimers via a disulphide bond through Cys58 which is located three amino acids from the C terminus. TFF1 is co-expressed with the secreted mucin MUC5AC in superficial cells of the gastric mucosa suggesting that it could be involved in the packaging or function of gastric mucus. We have previously shown that TFF1 co-sediments with mucin glycoproteins on caesium chloride gradients. To extend this observation we have now used gel filtration under physiological conditions, immunoprecipitation and Western transfer analysis to characterise the interaction of TFF1 with gastric mucin glycoproteins. We show that TFF1 co-elutes with MUC5AC but not MUC6 on gel filtration and that immunoprecipitation and Western transfer analysis confirms that TFF1 interacts with MUC5AC. We also demonstrate that the TFF1 dimer is the predominant molecular form bound to MUC5AC. Salt and chelators of divalent cations such as EDTA and EGTA disrupted the TFF1- MUC5AC interaction and increased the degradation of MUC5AC, whereas calcium increased the amount of TFF1 bound to MUC5AC. These data support the contention that TFF1 is pivotal in the packaging and function of human gastric mucusa.Received 24 March 2004; received after revision 14 May 2004; accepted 7 June 2004     

麦洼牦牛和犏牛乳中上皮粘蛋白PAS－I的研究

采用ＳＤＳ－ＰＡＧＥ分析了麦洼牦牛和犏牛乳中上皮粘蛋白ＰＡＳ－Ⅰ，结果凝胶经银染色后ＰＡＳ－Ｉ仅显示出一条区带，其分子量与中国荷斯坦牛乳中ＰＡＳ－Ｉ相近．实验还观察到乳中ＰＡＳ－Ｉ的含量及在ＳＤＳ－ＰＡＧＥ上的迁移率存在个体差异     

雌二醇对小鼠电剌激束缚应激胃溃疡的加剧效应

为探索雌二醇(E2)对应激性胃溃疡发生的影响及机制,以电剌激束缚雄性小鼠口唇部1h诱发胃溃疡,用阿尔新兰—氯化镁洗脱法测定胃壁粘蛋白。结果表明,肌肉注射(im)E244μg·kg-1后1h电刺激束缚应激(ERS)或imE2176μg·kg-1后立即ERS可明显加剧胃溃疡,并使胃壁粘蛋白量显著减少。侧脑室注射非惊厥剂量(0.08μg/5μl/只)印防己毒素(Pic)或惊厥剂量(0.3μg/5μl/只)均可完全消除E2的加剧效应,安定、异丙肾上腺素和阿托品都不能影响E2的加剧效应。表明外源性E2进入体内后可削弱胃粘液屏障,加剧电刺激束缚应激胃溃疡,此效应可能是E2随血液循环透过血—脑屏障,通过作用脑中GABAA受体实现的     

绵羊尿石病血液有关成分的研究

作者取患尿石病和健康绵羊血清各8份,分别测定其钙、磷、镁、钾、钠、氯、非蛋白氮和粘蛋白等成分。结果病羊血清中磷、钾、镁高于健康羊,钙则低于健康羊;氯、钠两者差异不显著,但均代于正常生理值。非蛋白氮和粘蛋白远高于正常羊。证明尿石病发生与绵羊肾前因素和肾内因素有关。     

In vitro radiolabeling of galactosyl and N-acetylgalactosaminyl moieties of glycoproteins with carbon-14

Summary The primary alcohol group on the carbon 6 of terminal galactosyl and N-acetylgalactosaminyl moieties of glycoproteins can be oxidized to an aldehyde by treatment with galactose oxidase. By reacting these aldehyde groups with¹⁴C-labeled sodium cyanide,¹⁴C-labeled cyanohydrin derivatives were obtained. Similarly, reduction of these aldehyde groups with tritiated sodium borohydride following standard procedures, yields³H-labeled glycoproteins.¹⁴C- and³H-labeled derivatives of asialofetuin and asialo ovine submaxillary mucin with high specific radioactivities were prepared using these procedures. Mixtures containing microgram amounts of¹⁴C- and³H-labeled glycoproteins were subjected to column chromatography and gradient ultracentrifugation and the position of the individual glycoproteins was determined by simultaneous counting for¹⁴C and³H. These experiments demonstrate the usefulness of this approach for comparative analytical studies using biological specimens available in minute quantities.
