重金属镉胁迫对大弹涂鱼肝脏黄嘌呤氧化酶活性的影响

研究了在重金属镉胁迫条件下,大弹涂鱼(Boleophthalmuspectinirostris)肝脏黄嘌呤氧化酶活性的变化。重金属镉胁迫12h时0·5mg/LCd2 组XOD酶活性和对照组比较显著升高(P<0·05);胁迫24h时,大弹涂鱼0·05mg/LCd2 组肝脏的XOD酶活性和对照组比较极显著升高(P<0·01),而0·5mg/LCd2 组酶活性结果却降低;恢复3d时0·5mg/LCd2 又极显著升高(P<0·01)。在镉胁迫解除5d时,3个浓度组的酶活性均极显著降低(P<0·01),其中0·05mg/LCd2 组和0·5mg/LCd2 组的酶活性和对照组酶活性比较无显著差异(P>0·05),5mg/LCd2 组的酶活性极显著低于对照组的酶活性(P<0·01)。实验结果表明,大弹涂鱼肝脏黄嘌呤氧化酶活性对水体中镉污染敏感,有可能用做海洋环境污染的生物标记。

Expression and Localization of HSPs in the Liver of Transported Pigs

To demonstrate the distribution and expression of heat shock proteins (HSPs) in the liver, five kinds of HSPs, namely HSP70 , HSP72, HSP86, HSP90 and HSP27 were determined after a long distance transport using immunohistochemistry and Western blot. All five HSPs were regularly detected in the liver of both the transported and the control group. Both nuclear and cytoplasmic labeling was present in hepatic cells;however, localization of HSPs was quite different in hepatocytes. The majority of HSP70, HSP72 and HSP27appeared to predominate in cytoplasm of the hepatocytes. Nuclear signals of HSP90 and HSP86 were most prominent in hepatocytes in which immunostaining in the cytoplasm was relatively weak compared with that in the nucleus. There was subjectively lower staining in the edge of hepatic labule, and lower numbers of HSPs labeled hepatic cells corresponded to light microscopic lesions. The obvious inductions of some HSPs were detected in the liver, especially the HSP90(P＜ 0.01) which belongs to the HSP90 family. However, the obvious reductions of HSP86 (P ＜ 0.05), which belong to the HSP90 family, and HSP27 ( P ＜ 0.05), which belong to small families, were detected in stressed pig liver after six hours of long distance transportation.

Protective role of heat-shock protein 70 in gastric mucosal lesion induced by endotoxin in cirrhotic rats with portal hypertensive gastropathy

AIM: To investigate the protective role of heat-shock protein 70 (HSP70) in the pathogenesis of gastric mucosal damage in cirrhotic rats with portal hypertensive gastropathy (PHG).METHODS: The rat model of liver cirrhosis with PHG was established by injection with tetrachloride.The animals were divided into normal control group, PHG group, PHG+heat treatment group, PHG+BPI21 group and PHG+endotoxin groups.The endotoxin used in the experiment was at the dose of 3 mg/kg and endotoxin antagonist BPI21 was at the dose of 2 mg/kg.HSP70 was induced by pre-treating the animals with mild whole-body heating.The levels of HSP70 and tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-α) in the gastric mucosa were measured by ELISA.Furthermore, the pathological changes of the gastric mucosa were observed under microscope with HE staining.RESULTS: Compared with the normal control rats, the rats in PHG group showed obvious gastric pathological lesion, decrease in HSP70 production and increase in TNF-α level in the gastric mucosa, and increased endotoxin concentration in the plasma.Compared with PHG+endotoxin group, the gastric mucosal lesion in PHG+BPI21 group was significantly attenuated, accompanied by the increase in HSP70 production and decrease in TNF-α level in the gastric mucosa.Heat treatment increased HSP70 production and decreased TNF-α concentration in the PHG rats, thus attenuating the gastric mucosal damage.CONCLUSION: HSP70 alleviates the gastric mucosal lesion induced by endotoxin in cirrhotic rats with PHG and decreases the concentration of TNF-α in gastric mucosa, indicating a protective role of HSP70 in the pathogenesis of gastric mucosal damage in PHG.     

Advances in mechanisms of immunity enhancement induced by thermal ablation therapy in hepatocellular carcinoma

Image-guided tumor thermal ablation plays a key role in the management of hepatocellular carcinoma. Thermal ablation for hepatic tumors not only generates directly killing effect on liver tumors, but also improves the level of anti-tumor immunity of the host. Thermal ablation potentially affects the anti-tumor immunity in the following ways: (1) causing necrosis that is a source for intracellular antigens, and also inducing local inflammation, which further stimulates the antigen-presenting cells; (2) removing the tumor burden; (3) undergoing the process of heat shock in surviving tissue, leading to increase in the expression of heat shock proteins; (4) activating and enhancing tumor-specific T-cell responses. This review discusses these possible mechanisms.     

Inhibition of Ang-2 and RGS-5 expression by nanogold results in normalization of vascellum in hepatic tumor

AIM: To observe the vascular normalization effect of nanogold on hepatic tumor by inhibiting angiopoietin-2 (Ang-2), regulator of G-protein signaling-5 (RGS-5) during certain time window. METHODS: H22 cells, the hepatocellular cancer cell line, were subcutaneously injected into the right armpits of 48 BALB/c nude mice. When the size of transplanted tumor reached 3~4 mm, the mice were divided into 2 groups: 36 mice in experiment group and 12 mice in control group. The mice in experimental group underwent injection of nanogold into the tumor once a day, and the mice in control group were injected with normal saline. After continuous treatment with nanogold for 3 days, 7 days and 11 days, the mice were sacrificed, the liver tumors were taken out to measure the size and weight. The expression of Ang-1,Ang-2 and RGS-5 in the tumor was detected by the method of immunohistochemical staining. The normalizing shapes of tumor vessels and the pericytes were observed under electronic microscope. RESULTS: With nanogold treatment for 3 days, 7 days and 11 days, the positive rates of Ang-1 were 16.7％, 50.0% and 16.7%, respectively. The positive rates of Ang-2 were 33.3%, 16.7% and 41.7%, respectively. The expression of Ang-1 in experiment group was higher than that in control group, especially at the 7th day in experiment group. The expression of Ang-2 in experiment group was lower than that in control group (58.3%), especially at the 7th day in experiment group. With nanogold treatment for 3 days, 7 days and 11 days, the positive rates of RGS-5 were 33.3%, 16.7% and 50.0%, respectively. The immature pericyte coverage indexes (IMPI) were 19.6%±4.3%, 32.5%±7.9% and 41.2%±9.1% respectively. At the 7th day in experiment group, the positive rates of RGS-5 and IMPI were lower than those in other experiment groups and control group. After treated with nanogold for 7 days, the pericytes in the parietal wall of the blood vessels in the tumor showed the tendency to grow normally in morphology and were completely covered by endothelial cells. However, the pericytes in the parietal wall of the blood vessels in control group showed differences in size, impaired integrity and only a few of the pericytes covered by endothelial cells. CONCLUSION: During the time window of nangold treatment for 7 days, the chemical can normalize the blood vessels in liver cancer by inhibiting the expression of Ang-2 and RGS-5.
