IHC不仅具有传统形态学(包括LM和EM水平) 能对组织和细胞进行仔细、客观观察的优点(特别 是经苏木精或伊红复染后),而且还克服了传统免 疫学反应只能定性和定量(离体、液相),而不能 定位的缺点。IHC则可在原位和固相对染色结果进 行观察。目前IHC的定位可精确到亚微结构水平。
荧光素直接标记特异性抗体(一抗)上,标记抗 体与抗原结合(在切片上)荧光显微镜下观察→ 检测抗原。
优点:简单,时间短, 特异性强。
缺点:灵敏度低,所 需抗体量大 (不经济)。
应用:基本不用了!!

Science:英国科学家揭示神经干细胞重回静默状态的重要机制

Science:英国科学家揭示神经干细胞重回静默状态的重要机制

Science:英国科学家揭示神经干细胞重回静默状态的重要机制2016年7月18日讯/生物谷BIOON/ --近日,著名国际学术期刊Science刊登了英国弗朗西斯克里克研究所-米尔希尔实验室研究人员的一项最新研究进展,在这篇文章中他们发现了增殖状态下的神经干细胞如何重新回到静默状态,从而维持神经干细胞池的平衡。

海马体是大脑中负责调节记忆和情绪的重要区域,其中的神经干细胞能够产生新的神经元,即使在成年阶段也具有这样的能力。

形成多少个新的神经元以及何时形成新的神经元取决于神经干细胞池的静默和增殖之间的平衡。

那么什么样的信号能够让处于增殖状态的神经干细胞回到静默状态引起了研究人员的兴趣。

研究人员发现一个促进细胞增殖的关键转录因子发生泛素化降解,就能调节神经干细胞回到静默状态,但是这种静默状态与神经干细胞的原始状态并不相同,这种处于静默但又活化状态的神经干细胞维持了神经干细胞池的平衡。

研究人员表示,神经干细胞的静默对于成体神经干细胞的长期维持非常重要,微环境信号能够调节神经干细胞从静默状态变成激活状态,但是增殖状态的神经干细胞如何重新回到静默状态仍未可知。

在这项研究中,研究人员发现E3连接酶Huwe1是增殖状态下的成年小鼠海马体神经干细胞回到静默状态的一个必要分子。

Huwe1能够通过泛素化降解系统使增殖状态下的海马体神经干细胞中促进细胞增殖的转录因子Ascl1变得不稳定,进而阻止细胞周期蛋白D的积累促进增殖细胞回到静默状态。

当神经干细胞回到静默状态,增殖的神经干细胞池会逐渐耗竭。

研究人员认为长期维持海马体神经元生成需要依赖于快速降解这种关键的促激活因子使神经干细胞回到一种暂时性的静默状态。

这项研究发现了促进增殖的神经干细胞回到静默状态的一条重要分子机制,机体通过这种静默状态和增殖状态的神经干细胞池平衡维持正常的神经元生成,该研究对于神经疾病研究和治疗甚至癌症研究都有重要提示意义。

One of science's strongest dogmas is that complex life on Earth could only evolve when oxygen levels in the atmosphere rose to close to modern levels. But now studies of a small sea sponge fished out of a Danish fjord shows that complex life does not need high levels of oxygen in order to live and grow.The origin of complex life is one of science's greatest mysteries. How could the first small primitive cells evolve into the diversity of advanced life forms that exists on Earth today? The explanation in all textbooks is: Oxygen. Complex life evolved because the atmospheric levels of oxygen began to rise app. 630 -- 635 million years ago.However new studies of a common sea sponge from Kerteminde Fjord in Denmark shows that this explanation needs to be reconsidered. The sponge studies show that animals can live and grow even with very limited oxygen supplies.In fact animals can live and grow when the atmosphere contains only 0.5 per cent of the oxygen levels in today's atmosphere."Our studies suggest that the origin of animals was not prevented by low oxygen levels," says Daniel Mills, PhD at the Nordic Center for Earth Evolution at the University of Southern Denmark.Together with Lewis M. Ward from the California Institute of Technology he is the lead author of a research paper about the work in the journal PNAS.A little over half a billion years ago, the first forms of complex life -- animals -- evolved on Earth. Billions of years before that life had only consisted of simple single-celled life forms. The emergence of animals coincided with a significant rise in atmospheric oxygen, and therefore it seemed obvious to link the two events and conclude that the increased oxygen levels had led to the evolution of animals."But nobody has ever tested how much oxygen animals need -- at least not to my knowledge. Therefore we decided to find out," says Daniel Mills.The living animals that most closely resemble the first animals on Earth are sea sponges. The species Halichondria panicea lives only a few meters from the University of Southern Denmark's Marine Biological Research Centre in Kerteminde, and it was here that Daniel Mills fished out individuals for his research."When we placed the sponges in our lab, they continued to breathe and grow even when the oxygen levels reached 0.5 per cent of present day atmospheric levels," says Daniel Mills.This is lower than the oxygen levels we thought were necessary for animal life.The big question now is: If low oxygen levels did not prevent animals from evolving -- then what did? Why did life consist of only primitive single-celled bacteria and amoebae for billions of years before everything suddenly exploded and complex life arose?"There must have been other ecological and evolutionary mechanisms at play. Maybe life remained microbial for so long because it took a while to develop the biological machinery required to construct an animal. Perhaps the ancient Earth lacked animals because complex, many-celled bodies are simply hard to evolve," says Daniel Mills.His colleagues from the Nordic Center for Earth Evolution have previously shown that oxygen levels have actually risen dramatically at least one time before complex life evolved. Although plenty of oxygen thus became available it did not lead to the development of complex life.据外媒2⽉17⽇报道,科学界⼀直认定,地球上的复杂⽣物是在⼤⽓中的氧⽓含量达到现在的标准时才逐渐进化出来的。

子学习情境5

子学习情境5氢化可的松发酵任务一甾类药物甾类药物是指分子结构中含有环戊烷多氢菲核的一类药物,在医学上应用非常广泛,特 别是甾体激素类药物,应用在风湿性关节炎,控制炎症,避孕,利尿等各方面的治疗上,对 机体起着非常重要的调节作用。

甾类激素根据其生理活性可分为肾上腺皮质激素,性激素和 蛋白同化激素三大类。

、肾上腺皮质激素皮质激素两大类。

糖皮质激素如可的松(cortiso ne )和氢化可的松(hydrocortisone )是由肾上腺束状带细胞所合成和分 泌,主要影响人体的糖、蛋白质和脂肪的代谢,对水、盐的 代谢作用影响较小。

临床上主要用于抗炎、抗毒素、抗休克 和抗过敏等。

以醛甾酮和去氧皮甾酮为代表的盐皮质激素是由肾上腺的球状带细胞分泌,主 要作用是促进钠离子肾小管的重吸收,从而使钠的排泄量减小,促进钾的排泄。

临床上主要 用于治疗慢性肾上腺皮质机能减退症(阿狄森病)及低血钠症。

、性激素性激素的重要生理功能是刺激副性器官的发育和成熟,激发副性特征的出现,增进两性 生殖细胞的结合和孕育能力,还有调节代谢的作用。

按其生理功能可分为雄性激素和雌性激 素两类。

雄性激素属于C 19类固醇,主要由睾丸和肾上腺皮质所产生,卵巢也有少量合成。

睾丸 分泌的雄激素主要有3种:睾酮、脱氢异雄酮和雄烯二酮。

雌性激素包括雌激素和孕激素两类,主要由卵巢合成和分泌,肾上腺皮质和睾丸也能少 量合成。

雌激素,真正由腺体分泌,有活性的只有 3种:17P -雌二醇、雌酮和雌三醇。

三种 激素生理活性相差很大,其相对比活为100 : 10 : 3。

孕激素属于C 21类固醇,体内真正存在的 是孕酮。

三、蛋白同化激素蛋白同化激素是一类从睾丸酮衍生物中分化出来的药物, 特点是性激素的作用大为减弱, 蛋白质同化作用仍然保留甚至增强,临床使用比较安全,较少引起男性化症状等不良反应。

如17a-甲基去氢睾丸素(17-methyldehydro-testosterone 商品名为大力补)。

迷迭香酸对过氧化氢处理下的皮肤黑色素瘤的抗氧化作用(原文翻译)

迷迭香酸对过氧化氢处理下的皮肤黑色素瘤的抗氧化作用(原文翻译)

迷迭香酸(罗丹酚酸)对H2O2处理过的皮肤黑色素瘤细胞的抗氧化作用Sun Mi Yoo1 and Jeong Ran Kang2*1.韩国光州500-741号东冈大学美容系2.韩国首尔143-701号建国大学生物工程系2009.2.6收到 2009.4.17接收本学科旨在检测迷迭香酸对人工孵育的皮肤黑色素瘤细胞在ROS下的抗氧化作用。

通过XTT比色法,以细胞毒性和抗氧化作用来分析细胞粘附活性,DPPH自由基清除活性以及H2O2处理1-10h和未经处理的两种情况下乳酸脱氢酶的活性。

用20-110 μM 的H2O2处理皮肤黑色素瘤细胞5-7h后,细胞活性的降低呈剂量和时间依赖性。

通过XTT比色法测得H2O2的半抑制浓度(IC50 )为90μM。

同时H2O2增强了LDH细胞的剂量依赖性。

用50-90μM的H2O2处理8h后测得LDH50为60 μM H2O2。

迷迭香酸能增强细胞活性和DPPH自由基清除活性,降低乳酸盐脱氢酶的活性。

细胞的H2O2处理证实了对人工孵育的皮肤黑色素瘤细胞的强抗氧化作用。

通过H2O2的处理,迷迭香酸能在细胞内能增强细胞活性和DPPH 自由基清除活性,降低乳酸盐脱氢酶的活性。

这被认为是迷迭香酸对ROS(ROS)如H2O2的抗氧化作用。

Key words:DPPH-radical scavenging, LDH, rosmarinic acid, XTT assay关键字:DPPH自由基清除活性,乳酸脱氢酶,迷迭香酸,XTT比色法据研究发现,ROS通过氧化应激对细胞的损伤和一些脑部疾病比如帕金森症或心脏疾病例如心肌梗塞之间有很大的关联[Difazio et al., 1992; Delanty and Dichter, 1998].尤其是研究人员认为ROS是皮肤老化的一个主要的因素后,一直试图从ROS方面研究衰老。

[Yokozawa et al., 1998].据研究表明,ROS的氧化应激会通过萎缩细胞引起各种疾病,例如超氧自由基、H2O2(H2O2)或羟基自由基的巯基蛋白反应中断酶的活性,破坏脱氧RMA(DNA)或RMA(RNA),诱导细胞膜脂质过氧化。

of Medicine and Pharmacy,Timisoara,RomaniaAbstractBackground and aims:In order to assess the role played by tubular epithelial cells(TEC)andinterstitial vascular endothelial cells(VEC)in interstitial fibrogenesis in human glomeruloneph-ritis,we studied the expression of markers of activated fibroblasts(a-smooth muscle actin(a SMA)and vimentin(Vim))and of the transforming growth factor b(TGF b),at the level ofthese cells.Methods:We studied retrospectively41renal biopsies from patients with primaryand secondary glomerulonephritis[24males,17females,mean age45.5±12.9years].Immunohistochemistry using monoclonal antibodies(SMA,Vim,TGF b)was assessed using asemiquantitative score,that was correlated with biological and histological data(quantifiedusing a scoring system in order to assess active-inflammatory and chronic–sclerotic/fibroticlesions).Results:The presence of SMA and Vim as markers of myofibroblasts was found in TECsand VECs.TEC Vim expression correlated with interstitial Vim expression(r¼0.38;p¼0.008),interstitial infiltrate(r¼0.31;p¼0.027),interstitial fibrosis(R¼0.25;p¼0.042),GFR(r¼À0.35;p¼0.016),SMA(r¼À0.42;p¼0.015),TGF b(r¼0.25;p¼0.046),and hemoglobin(r¼À0.55;p50.001).VEC Vim expression showed indirect correlations with interstitial infiltrate(r¼À0.32;p¼0.023)and interstitial fibrosis(r¼À0.34;p¼0.017).Conclusion:Our studyreflects the complexity of the involvement of VEC and mainly of TEC in fibrosis.The expressionof mesenchymal markers at the tubular cell level(especially Vim)correlates with histologicalinterstitial changes,with the decrease of renal function and more strongly with anemia.KeywordsAlpha smooth muscle actin,TGF b,tubularepithelial cells,vascular endothelial cells,vimentinHistoryReceived15December2013Accepted17May2014Published online19June2014IntroductionChronic kidney disease regardless of its etiology progressestowards end stage renal disease,and the final commonpathway in this process seems to be fibrosis.1An importantrole is played by tubulo-interstitial fibrosis,which is thestrongest morphological predictor of clinical outcome and ismost tightly linked to progression of disease,even though theprimary disease may be of glomerular origin.2In a previous study,we have shown that the interstitialhistological changes,especially the scores indicating scler-otic/fibrotic lesions,correlate with the presence of interstitialmyofibroblasts,with an important role played by TGF b.3Thus the main effector cell in this process is the interstitialmyofibroblast,being most responsible for interstitial matrixaccumulation.Other cells present at this level(tubularepithelial cells(TEC)and vascular endothelial cells(VEC))are also involved in fibrogenesis.In the current study performed on human renal biopsies,we have set ourselves to investigate by means of immuno-histochemistry,compared with histological and biologicaldata,the possible role of TEC and VEC in interstitial fibrosis.As shown in experimental studies,these cells are con-sidered possible progenitor cells for myofibroblasts.Duringthe course of kidney fibrosis in mice,about30%ofmyofibroblasts are derived via epithelial–mesenchymal tran-sition(EMT)from the TEC of the kidney.In addition,it hasbeen shown that another35%of myofibroblasts are derivedvia endothelial–mesenchymal transition(EndMT)from theendothelial cells normally residing within the kidney.Theremaining portions are speculated to arise via activation ofresident fibroblasts or other mesenchymal cells,such asperivascular smooth muscle cells/pericytes and fibrocytes inthe circulation,or are fibroblasts derived from the bonemarrow.4,5Despite these experimental data,the origin ofinterstitial myofibroblasts remains debatable,because datafrom in vivo studies is scarce.In order to assess the role played by TEC and interstitialVEC in human glomerulonephritis,we studied at the level ofthese cells the expression of mesenchymal markers that are Address correspondence to Flaviu Bob,MD,PhD,Department ofNephrology,Emergency County Hospital Timisoara,University ofMedicine and

factor that is involved in this activation.Materials and methodsPatientsWe studied retrospectively the renal biopsies of41patients admitted at the Department of Nephrology,Timisoara,with chronic glomerulonephritis(17females,24males;mean age 45.5±12.9years,range18–74).Only those cases were included that presented enough paraffin wax embedded in the biopsy material to permit the cutting of additional sections for immunohistochemistry.Cases with fewer than five glomeruli were excluded from the study.6The patients had either primary(30cases)or secondary glomerulonephritis(systemic vasculitis,four cases;infectious, three cases;collagenoses,two cases;neoplasia,two cases).The histopathological diagnoses were mesangial proliferative glomerulonephritis(12cases),mesangiocapillary glomerulo-nephritis(1case),membranous nephropathy(5cases), minimal change disease(5cases),focal and segmental glomerulosclerosis(15cases),and crescentic glomeruloneph-ritis(3cases).We used as controls renal tissue samples obtained from four patients who underwent nephrectomy for kidney tumors. The samples were obtained from the normal renal tissue.All control patients had normal serum creatinine,eGFR460mL/ min,and no proteinuria,at the moment of nephrectomy.All biopsies were performed after obtaining an informed consent from patients regarding the procedure and the possible use of the obtained material for scientific purposes. The present study has the approval of the local ethical committee.HistologyRoutinely fixed and processed sections of kidney were processed for light microscopy and stained with hematoxylin and eosin(HE),periodic acid-Schiff(PAS),and Gomori’s trichrome techniques using routine methods.All stained slides were assessed separately by two pathologists.In order to better quantify the histological lesions,a scoring system adapted by Neumann et al.7for ANCA-associated vasculitis, based on the standardized scoring system for activity and chronicity developed for lupus nephritis,was employed.At the tubulo-interstitial level,inflammatory lesions(edema, interstitial infiltrate)and sclerotic/fibrotic lesions(interstitial fibrosis,tubular atrophy)were assessed.Tubulo-interstitial lesions were assessed semi-quantitatively:530%of tubules or interstitial area affected was considered as mild(1point), 31–60%affected as moderate(2points),and460%affected as severe(3points).7ImmunohistochemistryThe detection of a SMA,Vim,and TGF b was performed on 4m m-thick formalin-fixed,paraffin-embedded sections using a horseradish peroxidase-labeled streptavidin–biotin(LSAB2-HRP)method(a system intended for use with primary antibodies for the qualitative identification of antigens in paraffin-embedded tissues).The primary antibodies used were ready-to-use monoclo-nal mouse anti-Vim(Vim3B4antibody,DAKO,Carpinteria, CA);monoclonal mouse anti-smooth muscle actin(clone 1A4,DAKO,Carpinteria,CA);and concentrated monoclonal mouse anti-TGF b(MCA797,Serotec,Raleigh,NC).Sections were first deparaffinized and rehydrated by routine protocol,then incubated with3%hydrogen peroxide in distilled water for5min and afterwards rinsed with distilled water and placed in Tris-buffered saline(TBS)for5min. The next step was incubation with a primary antibody,diluted 1/75,for10–30min,followed by sequential10-min incuba-tions with a biotinylated link antibody and peroxidase-labeled streptavidin(both purchased ready-to-use,DAKO, Carpinteria,CA).The labeling of TGF b,a SMA,and Vim immunoreactivity, at the level of TEC and VEC,was graded for statistical evaluation using a semi-quantitative intensity scale from0to 3,similar to that used by Alexopoulos et al.8We considered 0¼no labeling(negative),3¼the most intense labeling, whereas1and2are labeling of an intermediate degree.The same semi-quantitative intensity scale was used for assessing interstitial Vim staining.Clinical parametersIn addition to the histological data,we obtained clinical and biological parameters at the time of the biopsy from the patients’files.In all patients,renal function(serum creatinine and glomerular filtration rate(eGFR)),blood pressure, proteinuria(24h urine specimen),and hemoglobin count were taken.GFR was estimated using the MDRD4formula.9 Statistical analysisData were recorded in a file created in Microsoft Excel,which was organized and managed as a database.Correlations between histological and immunohistochemical parameters were performed using the non-parametric Spearman’s rank order test,while correlations among clinical,biological data, and immunohistochemistry were performed using parametric Pearson’s test.Correlation coefficients of linear regression analysis are presented in relation with p values.The significance of the correlation coefficient(r)is as follows:r¼0–0.25indicates little or no correlation;r¼0.25–0.50indicates a fair degree of relationship;r¼0.5–0.75indicates moderate to good correl-ation;r¼0.75–1indicates very good to excellent correl-ation.10In order to perform these tests,we used WinStat for Microsoft Excel and Epi3.2.2.ResultsIn24of the studied cases,we found positive Vim immunostaining at the level of TEC;in5of the cases,Vim staining was present either at a proximal(two cases)or at a distal(three cases)tubular level.The mean expression of Vim in TEC was0.77±0.87in proximal tubules and0.71±0.76in distal tubules.There was,however,no statistically significant difference between the two tubular segments overall.DOI:10.3109/0886022X.2014.929525Immunohistochemical study of TEC and VEC in glomerulonephritis1209Vim expression was low or moderate at the level of TEC in our patients;in only one patient(with mesangiocapillary GN), we had to use the degree3from the semi-quantitative scale to express a strong Vim staining.Vim expression was positive in patients with focal segmental glomerulosclerosis(nine patients at proximal level and seven patients at distal level), minimal change disease(two patients at proximal and three at distal level),membranous nephropathy(three at proximal and four at distal level),mesangioproliferative GN(five patients at distal and proximal levels),and crescentic GN and mesan-giocapillary GN(in both types:one patient at distal and proximal levels)(Figure1).In13cases,a SMA immunostaining was present at the level of the TEC.The mean expression of a SMA was0.55±0.64in proximal TEC and0.57±0.69in the distal ones.This positive a SMA immunostaining occurred in six patients with mesan-gioproliferative GN,in three patients with focal segmental glomerulosclerosis,in two patients with minimal change disease,in one patient with membranous nephropathy,and in another one with crescentic GN(Figure2).TGF b TEC immunostaining was present in29of the studied cases,with no statistically significant difference between the proximal and distal segments of the tubules.The mean expression of TGF b was0.97±0.85in proximal TEC and 1.04±0.86in distal TEC.Similar to Vim,TGF b tubular immunostaining was moderate or low,with the exception of two patients in whom we found a strong immunostaining (degree3).A positive TGF b immunostaining at TEC level was found in10patients with mesangioproliferative GN,in 9patients with focal segmental glomerulosclerosis,5patients with minimal change disease,in3patients with membranous nephropathy,in1patient with crescentic GN,and in1patient with mesangiocapillary GN(Figure3).At the level of the VEC,Vim staining was present in27 cases,while TGF b in35cases.The mean expression of Vim was0.78±0.58and,for TGF b,it was0.92±0.46.At the level of VEC,Vim was positive in11patients with mesangiopro-liferative GN,in10patients with focal segmental glomerulo-sclerosis,in5patients with minimal change disease,in 4patients with membranous nephropathy,in1patient with mesangiocapillary GN,and none with crescentic GN.TGF b was present in11patients with mesangioproliferative GN,in 13patients with focal segmental glomerulosclerosis,in 4patients with minimal change disease,in3patients with membranous nephropathy,1patient with mesangiocapillary GN,and in3patients with crescentic GN.In the normal control patients,immunostaining was negative for Vim,a SMA,and TGF b at the level of TEC and VEC.In these renal samples(from normal controls),wefound a SMA in the media of the interstitial vessels.As mentioned above in the patients with glomeruloneph-ritis,the presence of a SMA and Vim as markers of the myofibroblasts,as well as of TGF b involved in this process with the formation of active fibroblasts,was found at the level of TEC and VEC.The process shows a great variability in each patient,fact that makes a statistical correlation with biological and histological data difficult;however,some correlations have been found.First we studied the correlations with tubulo-interstitial histological data assessed by light microscopy.The tubulo-interstitial lesions were studied on standard stains in light microscopy(HE,PAS,and Gomori’s trichrome)using the scoring system adapted from Neumann et al.As already mentioned in the Material and methods section,the following tubulo-interstitial lesions were assessed semi-quantitatively: inflammatory lesions(edema and interstitial infiltrate)and sclerotic/fibrotic lesions(interstitial fibrosis and tubular atrophy).We found a statistically significant small degree of correlation between the scores for Vim staining at the level of the proximal TEC and interstitial infiltrate(r¼0.31, Figure2.Positive a SMA immunostaining

Fail,2014;36(8):1208–1214p50.05),on one hand,and interstitial fibrosis(r¼0.25, p50.05),on the other hand.As shown in Table1,there are no other statistically significant correlations between immuno-histochemical parameters at the level of the TEC and interstitial histological scores.When comparing the different immunohistochemical par-ameters,we found the following correlations:Vim staining at the tubular level(both proximal and distal)correlated with interstitial Vim staining(r¼0.38,p50.05)and with TGF b tubular staining(only for the distal tubules)(r¼0.24, p50.05).There was also an indirect correlation between a SMA and Vim at the level of the tubules:distal(r¼À0.42, p50.05)and proximal(r¼À0.30,p50.05).We compared immunohistochemical data in all patients at the tubular level with clinical data(serum creatinine,eGFR, proteinuria,and hemoglobin)and we found that Vim staining at the level of distal TEC correlated statistically significantly with renal function:serum creatinine(r¼0.32,p50.05)and eGFR(r¼À0.36,p50.05).Proteinuria correlated indirectly with the proximal TEC Vim(r¼À0.27,p50.005)and TGF b (r¼À0.30,p50.05)staining.We found also a moderate indirect correlation between the hemoglobin and the Vim staining at the level of the proximal (r¼À0.51,p50.001)and distal tubules(r¼À0.55, p50.001).Due to the relatively small number of patients with the different histological types of glomerulonephritis,we were not able to find some immunohistochemical expression patterns at the level of TEC.We studied,however,the two subgroups of patients that were better represented:patients with focal segmental glomerulosclerosis(FSGS,15patients) and patients with mesangioproliferative glomerulonephritis (MPGN,12patients).In MPGN patients,we found a strong indirect correlation between tubular Vim and renal function:proximal TEC Vim with serum creatinine(r¼0.6,p50.05)and with eGFR (r¼À0.6,p50.05);distal TEC Vim with serum creatinine (r¼0.6,p50.05)and with eGFR(r¼À0.6,p50.05).For TGF b at the level of distal TEC,we found the same correlation with eGFR(r¼À0.51,p50.05).Surprisingly in the same group of patients(MPGN),a SMA expression in TEC showed a direct correlation with eGFR both in distal (r¼0.59,p50.05)and in proximal tubules(r¼0.52, p50.1).In FSGS patients,we found that proximal tubular Vim expression correlates directly with the score for interstitial fibrosis(r¼0.4,p50.1),while proximal tubular a SMA expression correlates indirectly with the scores for interstitial infiltrate(r¼À0.62,p50.1)and with interstitial fibrosis (r¼À0.58,p50.1).In this subgroup of patients,we found that TGF b at the level of proximal TEC correlated indirectly with proteinuria(r¼À0.39,p50.1).Regarding VEC,Vim staining at this level correlated indirectly with interstitial infiltrate(r¼À0.32,p50.05)and interstitial fibrosis(r¼À0.34,p50.05).Concerning clinical data,we found only an indirect correlation between protein-uria and TGF b staining at the level of the VEC(r¼À0.25, p50.05)(Table2).No statistically significant correlations have been found between Vim and TGF b at VEC level with renal function or anemia.Table1.Correlation between

study showed at the level of tubules and interstitial vessels a great variability of the expression of the studied immunohistochemical markers(Vim and a SMA),and also of the growth factor TGF b.Despite this great variability, some facts regarding a certain pattern of staining in these cell types can be discussed.At the level of TEC,the expression of the mesenchymal markers a SMA and Vim could indicate a process of EMT,a biological process in embryological development.11In differ-ent studies(especially in vitro or in experimental animal models),it has been tried to establish whether EMT also occurs in renal epithelial cells,following kidney injury,and to show that the mesenchymal cells formed could give rise to myofibroblasts which populate the renal interstitium,causing fibrosis within it.12,13In the cases studied by us,the expression of Vim as the mesenchymal marker at the level of proximal TEC correlated with histological interstitial markers of activity(interstitial infiltrate)and of chronicity(interstitial fibrosis—especially in our FSGS patients).We found also correlations between tubular and interstitial Vim expression.It has already been shown by other authors that in human biopsies of kidneys with fibrotic lesions,Vim is positive at the tubular level.14 Rastaldi et al.have also shown in human biopsies that tubular Vim correlated with the interstitial infiltrate and with interstitial fibrosis,on one hand.In the same study,it was shown that,on the other hand,tubular a SMA was rare,despite the fact that its interstitial expression is a good marker of renal disease progression.15Our results were consistent with these data,a SMA was present in only13cases at the tubular level; moreover,when was assessed quantitatively,it correlated indirectly with Vim expression.We could also observe that especially in the subgroup of FSGS patients,tubular a SMA showed an indirect correlation with interstitial fibrosis, showing thus an opposite pattern to the tubular Vim expression.TGF b,the other marker used by us,has the ability to induce the expression of extracellular matrix proteins in mesenchymal cells and to stimulate the production of protease inhibitors that prevent enzymatic breakdown of the ECM.Elevated TGF b expression in affected organs,and subsequent deregulation of TGF b functions,correlates with the abnormal connective tissue deposition observed during the onset of fibrotic diseases.16Therefore,we used TGF b antibodies in our study to find out if there is an involvement of this growth factor in the activation of TEC.According to Fragiadaki et al.,there is no doubt that proximal TEC can undergo EMT in vitro in response to TGF b-1and also other inflammatory stimuli.12The consequence of TGF b stimulation,due to injury,is an increased expression of Vim in the tubular epithelium.17 In our patients,TGF b staining correlated with Vim staining at the level of the distal tubules.If we maintain the hypothesis,proven in experimental studies,that TGF b can promote EMT at the tubular level,then the positive correl-ation between these two stainings(Vim and TGF b)can be explained.The expression of the mesenchymal markers at the tubular level could be correlated with the renal function at the moment of the renal biopsy.In the study performed by Rastaldi et al.,tubular Vim correlated with serum creatin-ine.15In another study performed by de Matos et al.on49 kidney transplant recipients,it was shown that a high expression of tubular Vim was associated with a reduction of graft function.18All these data are consistent with our results concerning the correlation between tubular Vim and renal function(serum creatinine and eGFR)at the moment of renal biopsy.This fact was especially true in the subgroup of patients with MPGN.In this same subgroup of patients, however,a SMA showed,surprisingly,a direct correlation with eGFR.Urinary proteins from patients with minimal change disease and,especially FSGS,induce in cell cultures the expression of a SMA and Vim.19In the aforementioned study performed on human renal biopsies by Rastaldi et al.,there was a strong correlation between proteinuria and tubular Vim.15Surprisingly proteinuria showed in our patients an indirect correlation with tubular Vim.Similar to our results, Yonemoto et al.found in patients with diabetic nephropathy that newly acquired Vim(at the mesangial level in their study) decreased in patients with heavy proteinuria.20Also,in a study performed on patients with congenital nephrotic syndrome of the Finnish type(NPHS1),it was shown that heavy proteinuria did not lead to the transition of the TEC into myofibroblasts,as shown by the expression of tubular Vim and a SMA.21Moreover,in our patients(especially the FSGS patients),there was also an indirect correlation between tubular TGF b and proteinuria.We found an interesting indirect correlation between Vim at the TEC level and hemoglobin.This could be due to the fact that EPO-producing fibroblasts transform into myofibro-blasts at the cost of EPO production.This finding could clarify the link between renal fibrosis and anemia.Studies using in situ hybridization and the transgenic mice approach indicate that EPO is mainly produced by the interstitial fibroblasts in the deep cortex and the outer medulla in the kidney.Asada et al.demonstrate the occurrence in the kidney interstitium of fibroblasts that produce EPO,and can transdifferentiate into scar-producing myofibroblasts,thus losing their EPO-producing activity after kidney injury.22 The fact that in the patients studied by us there was an indirect correlation between tubular Vim and hemoglobin could indicate the fact that EPO-producing fibroblasts have been replaced by myofibroblasts(with Vim expression).It is, however,interesting that for SMA(the other myofibroblast marker),these correlations have not been found.The few studies performed using human renal biopsies, including the present one,show a correlation of tubular Vim staining with interstitial infiltrate and fibrosis,with renal function and with anemia.Our results regarding TEC could support the hypothesis shown mainly in experimental(in vitro)studies that these cells may acquire markers of mesenchymal cells,a process known as EMT. This possible origin of interstitial myofibroblasts remains debatable.Humphreys et al.have shown in vivo,but in a mouse model of ureteral obstruction that after injury TEC do not migrate and do not transform into myofibroblasts.23In another study performed using proximal TEC cultures,it has1212 F.Bob et al.Ren Fail,2014;36(8):1208–1214been shown that shear stress,as it occurs in hyperfiltration, leads to matrix generation and thus fibrogenesis,but inhibits the motility of tubular cells,thus excluding EMT.In contrast,incubation with TGF b induces cell motility and Vim expression in the cultured tubular cells.The authors conclude that renal fibrosis and EMT could exclude each other.24This could be a possible explanation of the fact that in our patients with FSGS tubular a SMA correlated indirectly with interstitial fibrosis,or that it correlated directly with eGFR(in patients with MPGN).It remains, however,difficult to explain why in our patients Vim and a SMA showed different patterns of expression and correl-ations in TEC.It is possible that the two markers are not present at the same time in the different TEC that did undergo a transformation.The fact that we were not able to perform double staining(Vim and a SMA)could be considered a limitation of this study.It is also possible that there are different patterns of expression of these markers in TEC in different histological types of glomer-ulonephritis,as we have shown for FSGS or MPGN,but the reduced number of cases did not permit the drawing of a pertinent conclusion.EndoMT,a newly recognized type of cellular transdiffer-entiation,has emerged as another possible source of tissue myofibroblasts.EndoMT is a complex biological process in which endothelial cells lose their specific markers and acquire a myofibroblastic phenotype and express mesenchymal markers.Similar to EMT,EndoMT can be induced by TGF b.25It has been shown in experimental diabetic nephropathy in mice that endothelial–myofibroblast transition occurs and contributes to the early development and progres-sion of renal interstitial fibrosis.26In the cases studied by us, however,we found that,unlike in TEC,Vim expression in VEC showed an indirect correlation with interstitial histo-logical scores.This surprising fact together with the absence of other correlations between the expression of Vim or TGF b at the level of VEC with histological and clinico-biological parameters could lead to the conclusion that these cells do not undergo a transition into mesenchymal cells,but the presence of these markers at this level opens the perspective to new studies in this field.ConclusionsOur study performed in human biopsies reflects the com-plexity of the involvement of VEC and mainly of TEC in fibrosis.It cannot be stated that TEC are,without doubt, transformed into myofibroblasts during renal injury,but it has been shown that the expression of mesenchymal markers at the tubular cell level(especially Vim)correlates with histological interstitial changes,with the decrease of renal function and more strongly with anemia.The possible link between renal fibrosis and anemia could be important in developing new treatment strategies that are aimed to target both the renal anemia and the reversibility of fibrosis.Declaration of interestThe authors report no conflicts of interest.The

检测方法
▪ Checkmate142研究表明,纳武单抗有效率为31%[26]。而非MSI-H/dMMR患者有效率则显著较 低。KEYNOTE-177研究表明,MSI-H/dMMR患者姑息一线应用帕博利珠单抗,客观缓解率为 43.8%,而标准化疗靶向组显著较低,为33.1%[27]。
▪ MSI/MMR状态对于遗传性结直肠癌的诊断也具有较大的意义,尤其是林奇综合征的诊断, MMR基因的胚系突变是确诊的金标准。
检测方法
▪ NCCN指南和CSCO指南对BRAF V600E突变mCRC患者的二线治疗均推荐西 妥昔单抗+伊立替康+维莫非尼(BRAF抑制剂),或者西妥昔单抗+BRAF 抑制剂±MEK抑制剂的联合方案[17,18]。BRAF基因状态对结直肠癌患者的 预后评估也具有指导意义[18,19,20]。BRAF V600E突变患者相比其他患者预 后更差,生存时间更短[21]。
▪ 而对于RAS基因突变患者,应用抗EGFR单抗则无明确获益,一般采用化 疗联合VEGF单抗治疗。因此,推荐在mCRC患者开始治疗前,应进行RAS 突变的检测,有助于帮助患者选择最佳的个体化治疗方案。
检测方法
2.BRAF基因点突变: ▪ BRAF基因作为RAF原癌基因家族的成员,位于RAS基因下游,是RAS-RAF-

Nature医学:运动或预防阿尔茨海默症,是因为它……图⽚来源: CC0 Public Domain众所周知,体育锻炼可以改善记忆⼒。

研究表明,体育锻炼还可以降低患阿尔茨海默⽒症的风险。

但是研究⼈员⼀直不明其中缘由。

⼏年前,研究⼈员发现了⼀种名为鸢尾素(irisin)的激素,这种激素在运动时被释放到⾎液循环中。

起初,⼈们认为它只在能量代谢中起作⽤。

然⽽,最新的研究发现,这种激素还可能促进⼤脑海马区的神经⽣长。

海马是位于⼤脑内侧颞叶的⼀个器官,与学习和记忆(尤其是长期记忆)有关。

因此,研究⼈员推测,正是运动释放的鸢尾素对这个器官的影响,解释了运动在阻⽌记忆丧失⽅⾯的作⽤。

最新的这项研究由哥伦⽐亚⼤学Vagelos学院的病理学和细胞⽣物学和医学教授Taub 研究所研究员Ottavio Arancio博⼠所领导,结果发表在《Nature Medicine》杂志上。

“这项研究结果有助于解释,为什么体育锻炼改善记忆,并且似乎在阿尔茨海默症等脑部疾病中发挥保护作⽤。

” Arancio说道。

阿尔茨海默症患者的⼤脑中鸢尾素含量降低在最新的研究中,Arancio和同事们⾸先观察鸢尾素和阿尔茨海默症之间的联系。

他们利⽤脑库的组织样本发现,鸢尾素存在于⼈的海马体中,阿尔茨海默症患者的海马体中这种激素的⽔平会降低。

为了进⼀步探索鸢尾素在⼤脑中的作⽤,研究⼩组将⽬光转向了⼩⿏。

实验表明,鸢尾素在⼩⿏体内保护⼤脑突触和动物记忆:当健康⼩⿏海马区鸢尾素丧失功能时,其突触和记忆就会减弱。

同样,提⾼⼤脑中鸢尾素的⽔平也能改善改善⼤脑健康状况。

游泳可以增强鸢尾素⽔平和保护记忆⼒研究⼈员随后观察了有氧运动对鸢尾素和⼤脑的影响。

令⼈惊讶的是,研究⼈员发现,连续五周⼏乎每天游泳的⼩⿏,尽管注射了与阿尔茨海默症有关的β-淀粉样蛋⽩(-淀粉样蛋⽩是⼀种阻塞神经、破坏记忆的蛋⽩质),但并未出现记忆障碍。

研究⼈员还发现,⽤药物阻断鸢尾素完全消除了游泳的益处。

知母及其提取物改善学习记忆和治疗阿尔茨海默病研究进展

知母及其提取物改善学习记忆和治疗阿尔茨海默病研究进展

知母及其提取物改善学习记忆和治疗阿尔茨海默病研究进展标签:知母;中药提取物;学习记忆;阿尔茨海默病;综述阿尔茨海默病(Alzheimer disease,AD)主要表现为以学习记忆为主的认知功能障碍。

目前,引起AD发病的因素有多种假说,如胆碱能假说、早期能量代谢障碍假说、自由基代谢异常假说、β类淀粉样蛋白(Aβ)级联反应假说、神经元凋亡假说、突触功能障碍假说以及炎症假说等,虽然对其发病的根本原因和病理机制还未达成共识,但多数研究者认为AD是受各种致病因素共同作用的结果。

目前使用的针对改善学习记忆能力及治疗AD的药物大多是针对单一靶点或改善某些症状,疗效存在短期性、暂时性及不良反应多等局限性,在全面改善AD主要症状方面药效不够明显。

中药以传统中医理论为指导,具有应用历史悠久、来源丰富、疗效广泛、靶点多样、不良反应少等特点,正契合了AD复杂多样的发病机制,为研发AD新药提供了一条新的途径,已引起国内外神经科学研究者的密切关注[1]。

知母(Anemarrhena asphodeloides Bge.)为百合科多年生草本植物,在我国主要分布于河北、安徽、山西、河南、内蒙古、甘肃、陕西及辽宁等地,由于野生资源产量有限,目前已形成了河北安国和安徽亳州2个全国知名的药材种植基地。

中药知母(Anemarrhenae Rhizoma)为百合科植物知母的干燥根茎,《神农本草经》将其列为中品。

作为一种传统中药应用已有两千多年历史,其中以河北易县所产品质为佳,称为“西陵知母”。

现代药物化学研究表明,知母中主要含有菝葜皂苷元(sarsapogenin)、马尔可皂苷元(markosapogenin)、新吉托皂苷元(negitogenin)、薯蓣皂苷元(diosgenin)、F-芰脱皂苷(F-gitonin)、芒果苷(mangiferin)、宝藿苷-Ⅰ(BaohuosideⅠ)、顺-扁柏树脂酚(cis-himokiresinol)、β-谷甾醇(β-sitosterol)、烟酸(Nicotinic acid)及微量元素(铁、锌、铜、锰、钴)等活性成分。

生物化学的发现英文In the realm of biochemistry, the discovery of DNA's double helix structure stands as a monumental breakthrough.It revolutionized our understanding of genetic informationand paved the way for modern molecular biology.The intricate dance of enzymes and substrates, orchestrating the metabolic pathways within cells, is amarvel of nature's design. Each enzyme, with its unique shape, ensures the specificity and efficiency of biochemical reactions.Another significant revelation in biochemistry is therole of amino acids in protein synthesis. The sequence ofthese building blocks determines the structure and functionof proteins, which are the workhorses of the biological world.The exploration of lipid bilayers and their role in cell membranes has deepened our comprehension of how cellsmaintain their integrity and selectively interact with their environment.The study of biochemistry also unveils the mysteries of cellular energy production. The citric acid cycle andoxidative phosphorylation are processes that convertnutrients into the energy currency of the cell, ATP.Understanding the molecular mechanisms of disease hasbeen greatly advanced by biochemistry. For instance, the identification of the molecular basis of cystic fibrosis has led to more targeted and effective therapies.The emerging field of epigenetics, where biochemistry intersects with genetics, has shed light on how environmental factors can influence gene expression without altering the DNA sequence itself.Finally, the ongoing quest to decode the human proteomeis a testament to the vastness of biochemical knowledge. Each protein's unique function contributes to the symphony of life, and understanding them is key to unlocking the mysteries of health and disease.。

268 To resolve this problem, we recently established a new antibody against rat GR, using the recombinant GR protein produced in a baculovirus/insect cell system (Fujii et al. 2000, 2001a). Here, we describe the application of the antibody to an eye tissue preparation and show that it is abundantly distributed in the epithelial cells of the cornea, iris, and ciliary body. In addition, it is present in high levels in ganglion cells and in the pigment epithelium of the retina. To gain insight into the role of GR in those cells, its expression in rat eyes at the pre- and postnatal stages was investigated. Materials and methods Materials GSSG was obtained from Sigma. NADPH was obtained from Oriental Yeast Co., LTD. Other reagents were of the highest grade available. Wistar rats were purchased from Japan SLC, maintained under 12 h of light and 12 h of darkness schedule at temperature of 21–23 ◦ C, and fed and given water ad lib. Enzyme assay GR activity was assayed spectrophotometrically by measuring the rate of oxidation of NADPH at 340 nm (Carlberg & Mannervik 1985). The reaction mixture consisted of 0.1 M potassium phosphate, (pH 7.0), 1 mM EDTA, 0.1 mM NADPH, and 1 mM GSSG and the decrease in absorbance at 340 nm at 30 ◦ C was recorded. One unit of GR activity was defined as the amount of the enzyme that catalyzes the oxidation of 1 µmol of NADPH per minute. Assays were performed in duplicate. Preparation of tissue homogenates and protein assay Experiments were performed under the protocol approved by the Animal Research Committee, Yamagata University School of Medicine. Rats were sacrificed by decapitation under anaesthesia with diethyl ether. Dissected eyes were either fixed immediately in Bouin solution for immunohistochemical analysis or frozen in liquid nitrogen and preserved at −80 ◦ C until used for enzyme assays. For protein analysis, tissue samples were homogenized in small volumes of phosphate buffered saline containing 10 µg/ml pepstatin, 10 µg/ml leupeptin, 100 µM p -amidinophenylmethylsulphonyl fluoride, and 1 mM benzamidine with a polytron homogenizer. After centrifugation at 10,000 × g for 20 min, the supernatants were collected. Protein concentrations were determined using a BCA kit (Pierce) employing bovine serum albumin as the standard. SDS-PAGE and immunoblot analysis Protein samples were subjected to 10% SDS-PAGE (Laemmli 1970) and then transferred to a Hybond-P membrane
