目的 观察神经节苷脂(GM1)对脑瘫大鼠大脑皮质区神经巢蛋白(Nestin)、神经生长因子(NGF)表达的影响,探讨GM1促进脑瘫神经修复的可能机制.方法 选择出生10周雄性SD大鼠200只,随机分为3组:假手术组60只,脑瘫模型140只,再分为模型组70只,腹腔注射生理盐水;GM1组70只,腹腔注射GM1.分别在术后0～24 h的7个时间点利用酶联免疫法检测大鼠大脑皮质区Nestin、NGF表达情况,并在实验前和后1～4 d观察大鼠的体质量变化情况.结果 (1)大鼠大脑皮质区Nestin表达GM1组0～24 h、模型组0～12 h明显高于假手术组(P＜0.01);GM1组16～24 h明显高于模型组(P＜0.01).(2)GM1组大鼠大脑皮质区NGF表达0～24 h明显高于模型组(P＜0.05)和假手术组(P＜0.01).模型组NGF表达仅0、4、8h高于假手术组(P＜0.05).(3)GM1组术后第1、2天体质量缓慢增加,至第3、4天明显高于模型组(P＜0.05),接近假手术组(P＞0.05),模型组体质量增加不明显.结论 预防性使用GM1是通过增强大脑皮质的Nestin和NGF表达并延长表达时间来发挥其对实验性脑瘫大鼠的神经保护作用.     

大豆异黄酮对去卵巢大鼠脾脏NGF、IL 2蛋白表达的影响

为了探讨大豆异黄酮（SI）对去卵巢大鼠脾脏中神经生长因子（NGF）、白细胞介素2（IL-2）蛋白表达的影响,本研究在成功建立去卵巢大鼠模型的基础上,对去卵巢大鼠分别隔天皮下注射高（1.5 mg·kg-1）、中（1.0 mg·kg-1）、低（0.5 mg·kg-1 ）剂量的SI,假手术组（仅手术而不去卵巢）和溶媒组（去卵巢）大鼠隔天皮下注射溶媒剂（乙醇）。补充SI至14 d和42 d时,每组随机剖杀5只大鼠,采用免疫组织化学方法,对大鼠脾脏NGF、IL-2蛋白的表达变化进行研究。结果表明,脾脏中广泛分布着NGF、IL-2蛋白,主要分布于被膜下方的红髓区,在白髓分布量极少。去卵巢后,大鼠脾脏中NGF、IL-2蛋白的表达强度和阳性细胞数目均显著下降,而且随着去除卵巢时间的延长下降加剧。体外补充SI后14 d,各剂量组和42 d低、中剂量组仅有部分恢复,变化不显著;补充高剂量SI 42 d后,脾脏NGF、IL-2蛋白的表达强度和阳性细胞数目基本恢复至假手术组的水平。大豆异黄酮能上调NGF、IL-2蛋白在脾脏内的表达,并呈现时间和剂量的依赖性。

A comparative study of the effects of intramuscular administration of gonadorelin,mating and intrauterine infusion of either raw seminal plasma or seminal plasma purified β‐NGF on luteal development in llamas

The aim of this study was to compare the effect of the intramuscular administration of 50 μg of gonadorelin acetate versus natural mating, intrauterine infusion (i.u.) of a physiological relevant dose of either raw llama seminal plasma (SP) or purified beta‐nerve growth factor from seminal origin (spβ‐NGF) on ovulation rate and corpus luteum (CL) development and function in llamas. Females with a follicle (≥8 mm) were assigned to groups: (i) i.m. administration of 50 μg of gonadorelin acetate (GnRH; positive control; n = 4); (ii) single mating (mating; n = 6); (iii) i.u. infusion of 4 ml of llama SP (SP; n = 4); or (iv) i.u. infusion of 10 mg of spβ‐NGF contained in 4 ml of PBS (phosphate‐buffered saline) (spβ‐NGF; n = 6). Ovaries were examined by power Doppler ultrasonography at 0, 1, 3, 6, 12 and 24 hr after treatment to determine preovulatory follicle vascularization area (VA), and additionally every 12 hr until Day 2 (Day of treatment = Day 0) to determine ovulation. Afterwards, ovaries were examined every other day until Day 8 to evaluate CL diameter and VA. Blood samples were collected on Days 0, 2, 4, 6 and 8 to determine plasma progesterone (P4) concentration. Ovulation rate did not differ (p = .7) among groups, but treatment affected (p < .0001) preovulatory follicle VA. Neither treatment administration nor treatment by time interaction affected (p ≥ .4) CL diameter, VA and plasma P4 concentration. Mating tended (p = .08) to increase CL VA when compared to the seminal plasma group by Day 8. Intrauterine administration of seminal plasma or spβ‐NGF does not increase CL size and function when compared to i.m. GnRH treatment, suggesting that the administration route of spβ‐NGF influences its luteotrophic effect in llamas.     

Magnaporthe Rab5 homologs show distinct functions in nerve growth factor(NGF)-mediated neurite outgrowth and cell differentiation

Nerve growth factor(NGF) binds to TrkA and forms a NGF/TrkA complex at the cell surface,which is then internalized into signaling endosomes and promotes neuronal survival and neurite outgrowth.The small GTPase Rab5 is reported to localize on the plasma membrane and early endosomes,regulating endosome fusion.It was reported that endogenous Rab5 function may need to be suppressed during NGF-induced neurite outgrowth and cell differentiation.Two Rab5 homologs(MoRab5A:MGG_06241 and MoRab5B:MGG_01185) were characterized from the rice blast fungus Magnaporthe oryzae,and MoRab5 B was identified as the Rab5 ortholog promoting early endosomal fusion,while MoRab5 A specialized to perform a non-redundant function in endosomal sorting.In this study,we examined whether MoRab5 A and MoRab5 B play different roles in NGF-induced neurite outgrowth and cell differentiation in PC12 cells(a rat pheochromocytoma cell line).Our data showed that MoRab5 B is a negative regulator of NGF signaling and neurite outgrowth in PC12 cells,similar to human Rab5(hRab5).MoRab5B:WT inhibits NGF signaling-dependent neurite outgrowth while the dominant-negative MoRab5 B mutant(MoRab5B:DN) enhances NGF signaling and neurite outgrowth.In contrast,MoRab5A:WT and MoRab5A:DN both significantly promote NGF-induced neurite outgrowth,indicating that MoRab5 B is more similar to hRab5 than MoRab5 A in the regulation of NGF signal transduction.
