病毒感染细胞过程中caspases介导的病毒蛋白自剪切研究概况

很多宿主细胞在病毒感染下通常会启动caspases通路凋亡途径导致细胞死亡,避免病毒的进一步扩增和传播.但最近的一些研究表明,病毒能利用激活的caspase蛋白酶对自身(非)结构蛋白进行特异性剪切,以利于病毒在细胞内的复制或参与病毒或宿主其他基因的转录调控等过程.作为一个病毒与宿主细胞相互作用关系的新的研究领域,论文对...

将240羽14日龄艾维茵-2000商品代肉鸡于14d时随机等分为常温对照组（NT组），低温组（LT组）和低温加L-精氨酸组（LA），白14d起，LT和LA组舍内温度从28℃以1～2℃／d的速度下降，至21d降至12～14℃，并维持到试验结束。此外，LA组自14d起在饲料中按100mg／kg剂量添加L—Arg，直至试验结束。记录肺动脉高压综合征（PHS）发病率，并分别于24、32、39和45d测定右心室／全心室质量比（RV／TV）、血浆NO、肺小动脉管壁面积／管总面积（WA／TA）和平均中膜厚度（mMTPA），并用原位缺口末端标记法（TUNEL法）对肺小动脉凋亡平滑肌细胞进行染色和计数。结果：LT组肉鸡PHS发病率、RV／TV、mMTPA和WA／TA值较NT组升高（P〈0．05）；LA组肉鸡PHS发病率较LT组降低（P〈0．05），mMTPA和WA／TA值与LT组相比呈下降趋势，在32d时显著降低（P〈0．05）；LT组血浆N0浓度总体上与NT组差异不显著（P〉0．05），仅在39d时降低（P〈0．05），而LA组血浆N0浓度自32d时起较NT和LT组显著升高（P〈0．05）；LA组肉鸡肺小动脉平滑肌凋亡细胞百分率较NT组和LT组均显著升高（P〈0.05），但LT组与NT组之间相比无显著差异（P〉0．05）。上述结果表明，L-Arg／NO通过促进肺小动脉平滑肌细胞凋亡，从而在一定程度上抑制了肺血管重构的形成。     

The Effect of Caffeic Acid on Zearalenone-induced Ovarian Granulosa Cell Apoptosis in Mice

Ovarian granulosa cells provide a special microenvironment for follicle formation and maturation through interaction with oocytes and their own secretion. A variety of harmful stimuli can cause granulosa cell apoptosis and metabolic disorders, reduce the quality of oocytes and have a negative impact on embryo formation. Zearalenone (ZEA) is a common cause of ovarian granulosa cells injury in the livestock industry, which is produced by mycotoxins, and lack of effective treatment drug. Therefore, in the current study zearalenone was used to induce ovarian granulosa cell injury and to explore the protective effect of caffeic acid on zearalenone-induced ovarian granulosa cell apoptosis in mice. Mouse ovarian granulosa cells were isolated by mechanical method, and indirect immunofluorescence was used to identify the isolated cells. MTT assay was used to determine the effect of caffeic acid on the activity of normal mouse ovarian granulosa cells.After granulosa cells were co-treated with caffeic acid (200, 100 and 50 μg·mL^-1) and ZEA for 24 hours, and control and ZEA group were set up at the same time, cell morphology and adherence were observed under a microscope. MTT was also used to detect cell viability. Caspase-3 mRNA expression level was detected by qRT-PCR. Cleaved-caspase-3 and cleaved-PARP protein expre-ssion levels were determined by Western blot. The results showed that positive FSHR staining appeared in cell cytoplasm of the test group, which confirmed that the isolated cells were mouse ovarian granulosa cells. The cell viability was above 90% which showed that caffeic acid had no toxic effect on granulosa cells. Compared with control group, ZEA group had smaller cell size, poor adherence, increased cell gap, and significant reduction in cell viability (P<0.001). Furthermore, the relative expression of caspase-3 mRNA, and cleaved-caspase-3 and cleaved-PARP protein level were significantly increased (P<0.001) compared with the control group. After caffeic acid treatment, cell gap was reduced, adherence was tight, cell viability was significantly increased (P<0.001). Caffeic acid significantly reduced zearalenone-induced increase in caspase-3 mRNA, and cleaved-caspase-3 and cleaved-PARP protein expression level (P<0.001). This study indicated that caffeic acid can restore granulosa cell viability by inhibiting ZEA-induced apoptosis.

内毒素致肝细胞凋亡与Survivin蛋白表达的关系及阳离子A保护效应

72只SD大鼠随机分为对照组（Ⅰ组）、内毒素组（Ⅱ组）和CA保护组（Ⅲ组）。3组动物经相应处理后分别在第3、4、8、12h采集肝脏作为检测样本,用流式细胞仪检测肝细胞凋亡情况,免疫组织化学染色技术检测Survivin蛋白的表达情况。结果显示,在4个时段中,Ⅱ组凋亡肝细胞百分比都极显著高于Ⅰ组（P〈0．01）;在3、12h,Ⅱ组极显著高于Ⅲ组（P〈0．01）,在4h,Ⅱ组显著高于Ⅲ组（P％0．05）;在8h,1I组肝细胞凋亡百分比呈上升趋势,Ⅲ组在3、4、8h3个时间点呈上升趋势,在12h有下降趋势。Ⅱ组Survivin的表达极显著低于Ⅰ组（P〈0．01）,且Ⅱ组一直呈减少趋势;Ⅱ组极显著少于Ⅲ组（P〈0．01）,Ⅲ组在3、4、8h这3个时间点呈下降趋势,在12h上升。结果表明,在内毒素血症中肝细胞凋亡与Survivin蛋白的表达呈负相关的关系,而cA则能明显上调Survivin在肝脏的表达水平,从而抑制肝细胞凋亡,对由ET诱导的肝损伤有可能发挥一定的保护作用。

铝诱导蚕豆气孔保卫细胞凋亡研究

植物叶表面的气孔保卫细胞是研究信号转导的模式实验系统,对环境变化反应灵敏而准确,采用蚕豆叶面气孔保卫细胞,研究了铝（AlCl3）对细胞的毒性效应。结果表明,在1～10 mmol.L^-1范围内,AlCl3可使气孔保卫细胞活性降低,部分细胞死亡,且随着浓度的增高细胞死亡率增高;死细胞呈现核固缩、核降解、凋亡小体等典型凋亡特征。凋亡抑制剂Z-Asp-CH2-DCB或TLCK与AlCl3共同作用时,保卫细胞死亡率显著降低;一定浓度的抗坏血酸（AsA）或过氧化氢酶（CAT）以及Ca2＋螯合剂乙二醇四乙酸酯（EGTA）或Ca2＋通道抑制剂LaCl3与AlCl3共同作用时,细胞死亡率降低。研究结果表明,铝诱导的蚕豆保卫细胞死亡可能是一种细胞凋亡过程,由胁迫诱发的活性氧介导,通过激活质膜钙通道,引起胞内Ca2＋水平改变,进而介导细胞凋亡。     

Black rice anthocyanidins prevent retinal photochemical damage via involvement of the AP-1/NF-κB/Caspase-1 pathway in Sprague-Dawley Rats

The effects of black rice anthocyanidins (BRACs) on retinal damage induced by photochemical stress are not well known. In the present study, Sprague-Dawley rats were fed AIN-93M for 1 week, after which 80 rats were randomly divided into two groups and treated with (n = 40) or without BRACs (n = 40) for 15 days, respectively. After treatment, both groups were exposed to fluorescent light (3,000 ± 200 lux; 25℃), and the protective effect of dietary BRACs were evaluated afterwards. Our results showed that dietary BRACs effectively prevented retinal photochemical damage and inhibited the retinal cells apoptosis induced by fluorescent light (p < 0.05). Moreover, dietary BRACs inhibited expression of AP-1 (c-fos/c-jun subunits), up-regulated NF-κB (p65) expression and phosphorylation of IκB-α, and decreased Caspase-1 expression (p < 0.05). These results suggest that BRACs improve retinal damage produced by photochemical stress in rats via AP-1/NF-κB/Caspase-1 apoptotic mechanisms.
